The cotton msrket opened better than expected, in view of the weakness at Liverpool, and appeared to be Influenced by the goodsport from the sources that have been bulling the market for some time, and on the covering of short con tracts by Wall street. There was a specsl active demand from the short) in August, which showed the greatest strength. The weather map was favor able and this, together with the favor ible weekly-crop report and the bearish re port by the "Galvf stion Mews" and a depressing effect on sentiment, as did the discouraging reports from Fall River regarding the strike. This strike has now reached alarming proportions and If continued much longer will play hav c with the cotton Industry. It was hoped that spinners would be Induced to bay moderately at present level, but the strike has pat a damper on any pur chases which weie .content plated by spinners.

The word was first contracted Into nras, with a horl- contal line above to indicate the con traction, which was a printer's freak that may be found in almost any book bearing-a date earlier than the begin ning of the eighteenth century. - After the lapse of a long period of time the letters were, omitted altogether, leav ing only the short line ao well known to all.

This was done simply because multiplication Is but a shorter form of addition. r ' Division, was formerly indicated by placing the dividend above a horizontal line and the divisor below.

Taa Dlatinettoa Between aC)reloaa aar a Baraleaa. : The term cyclone is applied to a tor nado of limited diameter and destruc tive violence. All storms, therefore, In whlqb the wind has (circulating move ment about a central area of low bar ometric . pressure - may properly be termed cyclones, cyclones occur most frequently In those parts of the world which are subject to monsoons and take place at those seasons when the monsoons are changing, They some times extend over many thousands of square miles. - Tropical storfus are known Jn the West Indies as hurricanes. These vio lent windstorms are of a diameter of from fifty to-a thousand miles, where in the air moves with a velocity of from 80 to 130 miles an hour round the central calm.- Hence this term is ap plied to any Storm or tempest in, which the wind blows with terrific violence. In the Philippine Islands and on the southeastern coast of Asia such trop ical storms are known as typhoons. The general disturbances of the middle latitudes are usually referred to as sim ply storms or areas of low barometric pressure. London Answers. SCOTLAND'S KILT. The Ortaria at - Tata Aaeleat an Pietareaoae Dree. Some say that the kilt was the out come of sumptuary laws enacted dur ing the reigns of Mary and of her son, James, VI. of Scotland and I. of Eng land. These laws more or less directly suppressed the ancient tunic, which fell from the" shoulders to below the knees, and had in the remoter parts of Great Britain and Ireland formed the outer dress of men from Roman times. When this was condemned, the wearers evaded the law by dividing the tunic at the waist, the upper part becoming a doublet and the lower the kilt The- kilt, however, must have been of earlier date, for It Is shown as a separate garment, neatly quilted from waist to knee, on many mediaeval crosses and memorial slabs, including those at Kilkerran and Kllmorie, which date from before 1600. It Is from this plaiting, or "quilting," that it takes Its name, and no doubt the sumptuary regulations promoted its general adoption.' .

Caaaoa la More BeaatUnl Than John flrar llltama. Every member on both sideaf the house likes John ; Williams, t To- an alyze his popularity la not so easy; But it can be safely- said that.it Is not bis beauty which first- attracts one, for bis pulchritude, is of thesjsinf ed cit variety.- Indeed I dojiot think him ao beautiful a Uncle Joe. 1. On this point there, would hardly be enough dissent er In the bouse to demand the yeas and nays.; Uncle .Joe has ;a ruddy complexion that .-matches well, with pink carnations, now universally rec ognised as the-insignia of Bepubllcan leadership. John is somewhat swarthy and has a sort of compromise complex ion, put It is healthy and natural. He has never used; any skhr food or done any ; grafting. .VUncle Joe has also a sort of cocky look, as if he knew be would get bis hay all in before it rained, putting bis thumbs in the. arm- holes of bis vest and ofttlmes tipping his cigar up. a few degrees from the plane of his orbit just to emphasize the security of American' Institutions. " John has a fiercer mien. Is somewhat more combative in appearance, holds one band to his ear (for he is slightly deaf), and In the heat of debate his bair seems to rise up and cry for lib erty.. He has a sort of lean and hun gry look, as if It were always just be fore dinner, while Uncle Joe wears on all occasions a postprandial aspect suggestive, of that peace and plenty which comports well with certain planks in his party platform. John misuses tobacco a little now and then, and Uncle Joe has been known to use cigar ashes-to keep the moths out of bis clothes. There are, In truth, some points about these two men as like as their family hailing ports in old Caro lina. And, though fastidious critics may assert that the line of beauty never touched either one of them, stall they both look good to me, J. Adam Bede in Leslie's Monthly. An Adaptable Soldier. One of the reasons why the Russinns have found it eo easy to.asslmilnte the races of central Asia and to make themselves at home In Manchuria, says World's Work, is that the Russian soldier Is quite the most adaptable chap in the world. Although he Is undoubtedly brutal and has a tendency while under arms to commit massacres like that at Itla- govestcbensk. In which thousands of defenseless Chinese neutrals men. wo men and children were slaitKhtereil during the Boxer campaign, he is nev ertheless a good fellow who gets nlong admirably with the people among whom be is campaigning or is quar tered. If be does not kill his enemy lie makes a friend of him by his rough comradeship and overflowing good na ture. He is a peasant just a common. country loving, home loving sort of a chap used to doing anything and ev erything about the home. So w hen ho Is quartered in a house he promptly makes himself at home" and finds all sorts of tasks to do. He minds tho baby, washes the dishes, fetches fuel and gives the housewife a lift at what ever she has on hand. - Water Froaen aad Stored. A traveling man recently returned from a trip through Montana tells of n curious method be saw there for stor ing water needed for irrigating pur poses. This consists of nothing more or less than freezing the water until it Is wanted As soon as the weather becomes such aa to melt this tee it is fit for tho opcr ation requiring the water.
