The cotton market opened slightly lower, owing to the some what easier Liverpool cables, but almost Immediate ly be pan to advance on the renewed covering of shorts which was In evidence yesterday afternoon. The outlook for a peaceful adjustment of the Red Sea inci dent, helped the market. Traders Ignoring the pessimistic reports from Fall River regarding a big strike among the textile workers, and the favorable weather news. Short Houses were moderate buyers and Wall street Inter ests and New Orleans shorts helping the advance. The over sold condition cf the market Is alone responsible for the advance, sb It Is difficult to see on what other grounds an advance could be based at the present time, when the crop out look Is so encouraging, and weather news favorable, together with the poor spinning demand. Spinners are still pursuing their hand to month policy and will continue to do so as long as the demand for cotton goods continue as It If. At long si the crop outlook continues good we cannot see anything but lower prices for the staple.

According to the examinations of the brains of Europeans that have been made by enatoinbrts, one of the most important physical differences between meu and apes and monkeys ban been the absence of the bo called simian fold in the human brain.' This simian fold, or sulcus, which occurs on the posterior portion of the main heml spheres, has recently leen discovered by Professor G. Elliot Smith of the Egyptian government School of Medi cine In the course of an examination of a number of brains of Egyptians end Sudanese. He has found that In certain examples of brains In his col lection the characteristic folds found In anthropoid apes are jo closely repro duced that he Is able to trace and clear ly establish the Identity of every sul cus, or fissure. Professor Smith 1 also succeeded in finding human brains where the occipital pattern corresponds closely with the brain of the gorilla. As these points of identity between man and his nearest relations have not previously been encountered by Euro pean scientists In their brain studies, their importance can be wanted,; as they do away with one of the supposed and hitherto recognised structural di- tinctions.-"-Harper's Weekly. .

What tha Plkea la Tlpventvy Watera Like Moat aa Food. There is a professional fiahermau of my acquaintance in Tlpperary who kills many pike during the winter months, for which he finds ready sale tn the town. He told me of one cus tomer of his who was in the habit of so beating him down ln price that he felt Justified ln resorting to somewhat questionable means to increase the weight of bis fish. In the manner of the winner of the stakes ln the cele brated "Jumping Frog" sporting event, he wonld Introduce some weighty sub stance Into their interior, stones, bits of iron railing, etc. Once he went so far as to stuff two old handlesa flatlrons he .bad picked from a refuse heap down the gullet of one before tdfcing it to his customer, who, having weighed it carefully and, after much haggling, paid him a frac tion less per pound for It than he might have perhaps obtained elsewhere. Meet ing him next day, he was instantly aware there, was trouble in, tha.wind by the opening remark, "What do pike feed on, Paddy?" "Och and Unlade, your honor, but there's mighty little that comes amiss to thliu lads," he an swered. "Frogs and fish, sticks ond shtones they like well, but they would give their two ej-es for flatlrons." English Country Gentleman. The Valae of a Stinny Sonl. The world Is too full of sadness and sorrow, misery and sickness. It needs more sunshine. It needs cheerful lives which radiate gladness. It needs en couragers who will lift and not bear down, who will encourage, not discour age. Who can estimate the value of a sun ny soul Who scatters gladness and good cheer Wherever be goes instead of gloom and sadness! Everybody is nt traded to these cheerful faces and sunny lives and repelled by tbe gloomy, the morose and the sad. We envy peo ple who radiate cheer wherever they go and fling out gladness from every pore. Money, bouses and lnnda look contemptible beside such a disposition. The ability to radiate sunshine Is greater power than beauty or than mere mental accomplishments. Sue cess. The Beat 4aaliaed Oradaala.

Jokala Joke. ' At a banquet Held ln bis honor in the town of Torda, Msurus Jokal, the Hun garian writer, was called upon to pro pose the toast of "The Ladles." He made an excellent speech, during which he continually toyed with tbe brown curls upon his forehead. Finally he said; "I raise my glass ln honor of' the gracious ladles of Torda. May they all live- until my hair grows gray." His audience drank to the toast; but it was easy to see by the faces' of the ladles present that they did not think much of the compliment. Jokal rose again from his seat and took from his head a magnificent brown wig, showing an entirely bald head beneath It. "My hair," he added, "will never grow gray." And the ladles, who had not known of his baldness, were more than pacified. Two Headed Symbola. Both Uussia and Germany display two headed eagles on their standards. Yet this symbol is considered by some heralds to be merely the result of the heraldic practice of "dlmldiation." This was simply a child's way of impaling two coats of arms on tbe same shield by the primitive method of cutting each in half and taking the dexter half of one and the sinister half of the other and placing them 'back to back, as it were. Strange two headed beasts nat urally resulted, as, for instance, when a lion and an eagle were halved and Joined together. The griffin is sup posed to have been evolved from two lions rampant by dlmldiation. It robs the two bended eagle of half Its ter rors to know that It owes Its origin to this sort of child's play.
