Information re ceived from Interests prominently connected with the cotton manufac turing industry Indicates that the de pression in their 'line has ot been dis sipated and that many manufactur ers still are having difficulty In securing ready money. In view of these conditions those identified with cotton manufacturing now admit that the curtailment of 25 per centof the working time, decided upon about three months ago, did' not entirely relieve the situation, and they say that a general reduction In wages of the operatives seems Inevitable. It Is rlulmed that there has been a falling off in orders of the .mills and that the prices received for cot ton cloth have been declining.

Emphatically more exotic fthan t; orai nary nag Deen me recent environ n ent of Ha'ic Erminie Rlv-a,, urd IV. fact t: sprung a curious 'utify co:crnlr.E the way in which ner x- c-tl'tK iioveu Sutan Sanderson, (ume into existence. The story of Sa'.an Sanderson took shape in tho mind of Miss Rives at a time when ahe ivas deeply Interested in Oriental litera ture. .Strong as, this interest aas, however, no evidence of it 'crept inta -the pages of the book, which dvf.I with modern American luo oniy. The author was conscious, however, tiint tn manuscript grew mw rapidly af ter she had been delving Into the lore ot Hit 'East, and that the nmi; :n'jh .n, p,: rages invariably follJvd Uj on U4 reading of Japanejj itor'nJ, A remarkable explanation .wi alvi'mtd no'ths later. Following tht uubl'ca tion of the book Miss Rives became the wife of George Post Wheeler, tMrl (c. tiary ot the America i Et bassy to Japan,' and the Wheelers took up their" residence in Toklo. Here Mra. Wheeler purchased one day, In a curio dealer's shop, a single-leaf screen (tsultate), on which waa paint ed the background which the Japan ese portrait painter usually adopts when wishing to show that hla sitter ia a person engaged in literary pur-: suits. The unique feature of this screen was that the central portion was blank, the "background merely marking the outline of a woman. The dealer explained that tha screen had formerly borne Hlchlgawa Klchibsl's portrait of Murasakl no Shlklbu, fa mous in Japanese history as the coun try's most distinguished woman novel ist. The deader had been astonished to note shortly after tha tsultata came into his posHesslon that on some days the portrait of Murasakl faded out so that it could hardly be distinguished, returning to its original brilliancy only to fade Out again. This curious phenomenon continued until . finally, on the 10th of August, 1907. the fa mous Japanese woman vanished from the screen completely, leaving; visible only the outline pt her form. ' Remembering Miss R Ives's hours of inspiration, which had followed those spent in reading the mysterious legends of the East, It gives one a strange thrill tb learn that the dale of the final disappearance of the por trait was the date of the first appear ance of Miss Rlves's novel, Satan Sanderson. . SPELLING SUCCESS WITH A "B." Louis Joseph Vance believes that for him. there Is good luck In the letter B. Last year he published the very successful Brass Bowl, and' this year he names his- new novel - The Black Bag, Vance says he has gone the spelling reformers one better In that he spells success with a B. In this connection it Is reported that an enterprising trunk manufacturer Who makes a specialty of a certain, stylo of black traveling bag has asked for a price on a good round lot of Vance's Black If.ig with the Idea of offering the story as a premium to purchasers of his own specialty. Yankee shrewd ness Is evidently -not being dulled by over civilisation. ' syiCIDK IN JAPAN, Becoming More Frequent .Women and the Young Give Large. Percent age. i New York Sun. ; ' ' A Russian statistician, M. Tarnow sky. ia authority for the statement that suicide has Increased more than f0 per cent, in Japan in recent years. While the number of cases waa about 144 to 100.000 Inhabitants in the early. '90s, it Is now In excess of 303 annual ly. The old fashioned method of ham klrl plays no part in the increase, It is practiced, if all, only by members of the higher classes. 'Hanging snd drowning are the usual methods of the people at large. Women furnish a very unusual pro portloa of these tragedies. Whereas the proportion of the. whole number of suicides to the population is about the same aa In France, the number of women suicides ip about twice ss great. In France one-fifth of all rases approximately are of women; In Japan they are two-flfths. Jealousy Is the usual motive. For f00 French women who kill themselves for this reason there are 1,800 - Japanese wo-' men. Another strange festufe is the precocity of those who are tired of life. In France about seventy-five children under 1 years of age commit suicide every year; In Japin tho niftn ber is 235. In France about twenty one out of every hundred amlcldes and In Japan about thirty-five are less than 30 years of age. The women are relatively a larger proportloa umong the young than the old. . Women In Japan furnish only per cent, of the total criminality of the empire, so Tarnowsky concludes that they are more virtuous yet more un happy than European women. A CHINESE TRICK.

Counsel wanted an explanation, but could not obtain It. and later m. mem ber of one of the ongs In (he corri dor was asked for a reason. "Don't know why a gun Is used In that manner, " was the response, "un less It Insures more secrecy than the American way. For Instance, a! Chinaman may wrap the gun ih ths folds of his sleeve, leaving only the barrel hole free. Then a shot may be fired, when it would appear ss though the one who discharged the weapon had his anus folded.
