I Riding along through France on a Sunday Id these times, one Is reason [ ably certain to meet many Chinamen j under umbrellas. I They mostly hail, from Indo-China. J The French imported them by thou j sands for service in the labor battal i iona behind the lines. During the j week, dressed in nondescript mixtures j of native garb and cast-off uniforms, . they >rp& , at road mending or at ditchi di?Xai\or at truck loading jobs. On Sundays they dress themselves up In their best clothes and stroll 'about the countryside. And,.rain or shine, each one brings along with him his treasured umbrella and carries it; unfurled above his proud head. It never is a Chinese umbrella, either, but invariably a cheap black affair of local manufacture. Go into one of the barracks where these y*ltow men are housed, and at the head of each bunk there hangs a black umbrella, which the owner "guards a* his most darling possession. If he dies I suppose It Is buried with him. , , . ........ '.fVobody knows why every. Sunday the Chi^anaVu sports, an umbrella, un: less It be, that in his" Oriental mind he has figured it out that possession of such a thing, stamps him as a person of travel and culture, who, like any true wsmojpo?tan/ is desirous of con formjailtd the custom of the country to which he has been transported*. A Frenchman, if careless, may leave his umbrella behind when he goes forth for a grnmenade; a Chinaman never does.?Iryin S. Cobb in Saturday Eve ning Peat.

TOY DOG HAS HIGH VALUE Brussels Griffon, Practically Unob tafnabfe Just Now, Is Likely to Become Popular Favorite. The Brussels Griffon Is popular^ known as 'tne monkey-faced toy dog/ and he is one of the brightest, sharpesl and gamest of all toy breeds. Tht Griffon is .a .cross between Irish ter rier, Yorj?shlre: terrier and Yorkshire spaniel *nd only the fortunes of wax and the difficulties of getting any dogs out of Belgium have prevented the Griffon from becoming a leader amonj the toy breeds that are so fashionable just now. American breeders, of Griffons have a bit of advantage over their Euro pean confreres,, inasmuch as cropped dogs are allowed to be shown in this country and there is no question that it does improve the appearance of this breed when the ears are carried erect The smaller these dogs are the more valuable. A Griffon weighing three or four pounds, that is to say, so small that he . ?in be . carried in a lady's muff. Is worth almost anything the fortunate possessor wants to ask for him. At the present time it is almost impossible to obtain such a dog. What Emptiness May Do. When a large shell is fired into the air it leaves a wake more or less like that of a, boat rushing through: water. Immediately behind the projectile as it moves many miles a minute through the atmosphere there is a vacuum. The air family Is a quick mover at filling such space, but of course it is more or less confused and flustrated by the unexpected arrival and passage of the projectile, and the vacuum is ireal for a fair portion of time. If there is an airplane going full tilt across the wake of that fired shell immediately behind the projectile, it must run into the vacuum. Then it may be more seri ously damaged than if it had been struck by the shell. The air shuts to gether with a force that hurts all with in reach. Such aflapping of the hands of air In a simflar vacuum made by a holt of lightning makes the thunder. It is better to fiear it than to feel it Airplanes have been brought down in i the world war by that means. Those long American navy guns did that Jo a German two-seated plane, and it came crashing down tnto the Yankee lines.1 The pilot was dead. The Queer Leaf Insect. It is called the leaf insect, and until It starts to crawl it is quite impossible to tell where the leaf leaves off aud it begins. It comes in all sizes from three inches long to the length of ? little finger nail. And it is not a leaf come to life, though that is what it looks like. It hatches^ out Of tiny, square, brown eggs.. What would be the ieaf stem is its backbone, and the point where the leaf attaches to the twig is Its head. Its legs look like bits of der cayed and ragged leaf, and no tyro of them are identical in length, size or shape. Its wings are irregular and veiny and have small discolorations on them, as though they had been touched by early frost You could not tell the creature from the leaf it was sitting on to save your eyes. .

New Orleans, May 7?The iregulari ty of the opening and subsequent ac tion of our market were characteristic of the influence at work. July open ed a few points higher but when New York quotations showed 30 points ad vance in that position, the later posi tions here opened as much as 25 points up, and the market soon traded to 36.70 lor October on small buying, but a decided scarcity of sellers, owing to the contrast and the action in New York. Then, there was a sharp re action to last night's closing level1 on advices of more general rains in Tex as, and when they were confirmed by the weather map, liquidation, increased and the market broke to 36 cents, but support was then applied and good rally resulted. Support at the opening appeared in the light of a tactical move by bull interests to break the effect of the favorable change in weather condi tions. ? NEW YORK COTTON.
