HEAVEN AND WORK.
Heaven IL not a place of idleness, leisure in

their faith and the faith OF their fathers for
belief that whatever heaven may, It be cafnted

His attempt to describe the future state is
original and his conception may be traced back TO
early Buddhistic philosophy for its origin
Madam Blavatsky. so years ago, presented her
views OF the after life in much the manner.
She did stop with future existence but

that the future state of heaven is wherein there
is the widest opportunity for combinations and

The great artists in the same situation might find
themselves receiving mysterious whispers that
every one hereafter will find endless pleasure in the

Possibly the fgurative harp had its origin in the
mind of a musician to whom heaven would

The useful thing about the suggestion which
comes from this source may be the turning OF
retrospective thought whether those upon this
earth really ready to enjoy any heaven even if
they reach
It may possibly stir some creatures here upon this
earth to examine themselves and to try to discover
whether happiness for them means work. The man
who finds JOY in his work here is not looking for
Incidence. The who looks forward to
eternal vacation might rrofitably change occu-
patton now for he not headed for heaven at least

More profitably, a self examination might be held

REACTIONS IN THE PROFIT TAKING IN

STILL IN PROGRESS PRICES TO A DIP

NEW YORK. Dec. 2S.-There were
further reactions in the cotton market
today, but trading was much less ac-
tive and offerings were well enough
taken at declines of some 40 or so
points from the high levels of yester-
day to steady prices, March sold off
to IS. 55c, rallied to 26. 7Sc and closed
at &c CSC, with the general market
closing steady 3 to 19 points net
lower
The market opened steady. 4 to. 10
points lower under overnight selling
orders and in response to relatively
easy cables. There was some trade
buying at the decline and a scatter
ing commission house demand, but
realizing or liquidation continued and
a less favorable view of near eastern
affairs promoted some scattered sell
Ing for reaction. Prices eased off
In consequence until January sold at
26 zoe and May at 26 SIC. or about is
to % points net lower on the general
list. Offering then became lighter
and there were rallies during the
early afternoon on reports of a good
spot demand in the south, covering
by early sellers and moderate com
mission house demand. Prices reeov
cred most of the early losses. with
May selling up to 20 S3e, but trading
remained comparatively quiet and the
close was several points off from the
best. Some of the private reports re-
ceived from Liverpool early said there
was rather a better tone in Lam
cashire, but dispatches published
later in the day emphasized unfavor-
able trade conditions, thereby stating
that the mills were closed for full
week this year instead of the usual
two days owing to a poor demand.
There were reports of a good mill de-
mand for spot cotton in the Caro-
linas and a good demand was also re-
ported in the southwest. although
private advices stated that actual
business was restricted by an absence
of selling. The falling off In the
volume of business here was attrib
uted to the proximity of another

NEW YORK COTTON FUTURES
NEW ORLEANs COTTON

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 2s.--A reaction
airy feeling was on display in the cotton
market today during nearly the entire
session. Moderately wide declines were
made under liquidation. with recoveries
every now and then. one OF which was in
progress when the market closed, so that
last prices were at net losses the
sion of but to IA points. January closing
at 26.37c a pound.
In the early trading there was consider
able irreguarty. the first downward
movement amounting to to % points.
Poor cables helped to cause lower open
ing but most OF the selling was due to
desire for profits on the part of traders
the long side. BY noon the market had
made its low levels for the day, selling
being increased by rumors received by 10.
cal brokers that part OF the British fleet
had been ordered to Cons.antinople. AT
the lowest, January traded at 26.20c and
here the list stood at declines of "a to 80
points.
New buying came into the market in
the afternoon because Of reports of con-
tinued strong spot situation and small up
turns resulted. Bearish news had no great
effect and cablegrams from Liverpool to
local concerns, stating that most Lanca-
shire mills would be closed for a whole
week around New Years did not result IN
much selling, although they caused much
comment. The tone on the close was
steady.
