Although the Zulu horror sheds.
On civilized beholders.
When he goes round collecting
From other peoples shoulders.
And though the deed of course must

Surviving witnesses agree
That il is done politely.

Behind his head the victim hears
A keen edged bolo kissing;
Ii swiftly lands behind his ears
And To- his dome Is missing,
And when the head is nicely dried
Our mild, Malayan brother
With primitive and childlike pride.
Presents it TO his mother.
What seems 10 us a cruel blow
Is just the Zulu's notion
OF a delightful way to show
His filial devotion.

We've often reprehended.

 The market opened firm at an ad vance m response 10 the firm show ing of Liverpool. Houses with Liver pool connections and other foreign trade interests were good buyers of tho late months, including October while there was covering by near month shorts with January selling at 3S.70 net high record for that position. There was n good deal of southern selling which was supposed to represent liquidation of hedges against an increased spot business, and after the close of Liverpool, the buying here became less active. This rendered the market more sensitive to roactlonary sentiment around the ring and prices sold off rather sharply during the middle of the day.

New Orleans Cotton.

1 New Orleans, Jan. 5.-After a period of strength in the early trad ing today, the cotton market turned unsettled, feeling much liquidation from holders of long contracts and declining sharply on the near months although the distant posi- tions made show of holding their own, particularly October which ap. peared to be the center of the speculative demand. On the close prices were net unchanged to GO points higher, January being un- changed, while October was 60 points up. Spot quotations were revised and while the revision ia yored the seller the changes in prices widenod the discount on con- tracts, middling being advanced to II cents while the closing price on January was 39.80.
 The opening was higher and the improvement was maintained for some time on very strong Liver pool. Ireegulnrity was most marked on the close. Pressure on January appeared to come largely from liqui- dating longs.
