A Gentle Wish.
It was their honeymoon. They had
moved into a pretty suburban house
and were getting settled cozily at last.
r “I have something for you,” she said
when he came home from the office.
“A present?”
“Yes. You have no night key, so I
had one made for you. Here it is.”
“That was very thoughtful of you.
But how (lid you come to take so much
trouble?”
“I wanted it as a kind of barometeh
You’ll let me look at it now and then,
won’t you?”
■ “Certainly.”
“I’m not going to say you mustn’t go
out evenings, and I'm not going to sit
up uhtll you come home when you are
out late. I only hope,” she said coax-
ingly, “that every time 1 look at it the
key will be a little bit rustier, and then
I will know that home pleases you
more than any other place.”
NEW ORLEANS COTTON LETTER.
By wlro to Clark & Co.
New Orleans, June 16— News from
Liverpool was very scarce, but the
little that was forthcoming indicated
a more bullish feeling with regard to
the summer months positions. Op
tions closed better than expected at
unchanged prices to a decline of one
point, while the spot sales were 8,000
bales, the old quotations being raised
a point.
Excessive rains in the eastern por
tion of the belt and the lack of mois
ture in the southern part of Texas
have caused numerous advices to be
issued from these two separate dis
tricts complaining of the existing con
ditions. No damage, however, is be
lieved to have resulted thus far, But a
continuation of like circumstances
would doubtless cause some appve*
hension on the part .of the short in
terest.
Julys continue to move through the
process of liquidation, but on a small
er scale, the business put through to
day, even for a Saturday, being ex
tremely dull. The very bullish visible
statement of yesterday**but empha
sized the generally recognized fact
that supplies are rapidly declining and
the excellent mill takings for the
week are especially gratifying in il
lustrating the healthy condition of the
cotton trade throughout the world.

The Pointer.
There Is as much fallacy in attempt-
Ing to prove tlie origin of pointing ns In
a like attempt to prove the origin of
eating. As a matter of fact, the point
ing act commonly exhibited by the
pointer and setter Is an Incident of the
capture or attempted capture of food
by dogs, and alBO by wolves and foxes.
Coyotes bare been seen to draw and
paint on prairie dogs and grouse In
precllely the same mnnner that tbe
pointer and setter draw on game birds.
There were tbe same rigidity and
stealth, the pause to judge of distance
and opportunity and tbe final rigid
pause- when all tbe energies are con
centrated far tbe find! spring to cap
ture. All the phenomena displayed by
tbe dog family Indicate that the draw
ing and pointing In tbe pursuit of prey
were ever natural traits. It may be
reasonably believed tbnt map could
not breed tbe pointing Instinct out of
tbe dog If be attempted to do so.—

Liverpool showed considerable
strength on the opening. Prices were
1 better on spots, and unchanged to 1
lower on futures. She was due 3
lower.
Sales of 8,000 bales were made in
Liverpool today. Very good for Satur
day. ,
New York opened 4 to 5 higher, and
advanced 2 more on unfavorable
weather.
The week-end figures were regarded
as bullish.
Crop In' sight is 10,546,000, against
12,500,000 last year.
It Is not believed that the South
will rush In and sell very much more
cotton at 10 cents for delivery next
winter. Sentiment might be said to
be changing.
Reports from the dry goods district
denoted a steadiness that was surprise
Ing when the limited demand for cot
ton Is Considered.
The Chronicle said its telegraphic
advices reported the crop as having
made fair progress during the week,
although Southeast Texas was still
needing rain badly.
An active., correspondent of Theo
dore Price at Lumpkin, Ga., wired
The Fountain Pen.
The fountain pen is not an invention
of recent years. In Samuel Taylor’s
“Universal System of Shorthand Writ
ing,” published in 1780, we find proof
of the fountain pen’s great age.
“I have nothing more to add,” wrote
Samuel Taylor, “for the use or Instruc
tion of the practitioner, except a few
words concerning tbe kind of pen prop
er to he uhlhI for writing shorthand.
For expeditious writing some use what
are called fountain pens, into which
your ink Is put, which gradually flows
when writing, from thence into a small-
er pen cut short to fit the smaller end
of this instrument, but It is a hard
matter"to meet with u go^-d one of tjiis
kind.”
The Fork.
It is about 1,990 years ago since the
fork made its appearance la Europe.
In 09 A. I). a son of the doge Pietro
Orsolo had wedded in Venice the Briz-
zantine Friucess Argila, who produced
at the wedding breakfast a silver fork
anil gold spoon. Then the high Vena
tion families followed suit, nud these
martyrs to fashion pricked their lips
with the new iustrumeut. The fork
prospered, however, and spread over
Italy. In 1379 it had traveled ns far
as France, and lu 1008 a traveler
brought it direct to England.
Both Hate Klin.
“Funny thiug,” remarked Wilson
mhsingly. “Tom Wilkins and Edith
Brown used to be great friends of
mine. I introduced them to each other.
They got married, nud uow neither of
them will speak to me. Wonder what
the reason can be?”
Croa* Parpone*.
Mrs. Klubbs (severely)—I’ve been
lying awake these three hours waiting
for you to come home. Mr. Klubbs
(ruefully)—Gee! And I’ve been stay
ing away for three hours waiting for
you to go to sleep.
WetldinKM In Wnle*.
Mauy and curious wore the old cus
toms in Wales relating to marriage.
The following is an account of the bid
ding ceremony, an old custom which is
said to be celebrated even to this day
in rural parts of Wales: The bidder
goes from house to house with a long
pole and ribbons flying at tUo eud of it,
and standing in the middle floor in each
house he repeats a long lesson with
great formality. He meutions the day
of the wedding, the place, the prepara
tions made, etc. The following is n
specimen: “The intention of the bidder
is this; With kindness aud amity, with
decency and liberality for and ,
he invites you to come witli your good
will on the plate. Bring current mon
ey—a shilling or two or three or four
or five—with cheese and butter. We
invite the husband and wife, children
and menservants,' from the greatest to
the least Come there eagly. You
shall have victuals freely and drink
cheap, stools to sit on and fish if we
can catch them, but If not hold us ex
cusable, and they will attend on you
when you call upon them in return.
They set out from .quen a place and
•such a place.”
