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. GIBERT & CLAY. COTTON PICKINGS. 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.— Forest and Strenm. Furnished tor Dally Herald Readers by Clark & Co. 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*.

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.
