Cotton Letter

New York, April S0.-(special.)-The ex- pected reaction in cotton came today, but IL was trivial one and all signs of 1t Vanlsh- ed before the close. Liverpool this morn ing was unchanged. The opening here was quiet and a slight decline from last nights prices, the first sales of August being made at 7.46. Outside buying resulted Ill rally shortly after the opening, but the sentiment of the local operators favored a reaction and they sold freely. Liverpool also sold. The bears aided the weakness in the hope of catching stop orders and prices gradually declined August toucnlng 742 but the general public seems at last inclined to heed the bullish outlook in cot ton and buying orders were plentiful. In the last hour the market became stronger and closed very steady at the best figures o1 the day with 753 bid for August. Some complaints are received from the south
 today and the fall months in which the short interest is heavy showed strength. We think the advance will go further ln time. RlOhDAN & CO.

FUN ON THE BICYCLE.
The Gymkhana II Rare Sport for
Skillful Woman Ridera

The Gymkhana IL Rare Sport for
Skillful Woman Riders.
The gymkhana is sort of bicycle
tournament that English women, and
men, too, began to indulge a year or
two ago. The word is Indian, and i'm
plies our idea of circus. The feats
of the "gymkhana" can be performed
i'll the open or in a large hall. It is not
warm fun for scorcher. 1t is grace
full and temperate sport, more like a
quadrille than a handicap.
The men taking part may wear white
knickerbockers, red coats, red and
white jockey caps, red stockings and
white shoes, the girls white duck
skirts, red and white striped shirt
waists, red leather belt, white sailor
hat with red band, red stockings and
white shoes. To carry out the effect
the costumes should be identical.
The entertainment opens with an
overture by the band, followed by a
musical ride by 16 ladies and gentle
men, mounted on wheels, which have
been decorated with red and white rib
bons. They circle slowly around the
hall once, then down the center in twos,

WOMAN AND HOME.
TEACH THEM EARLY.

children Should BE Made to Under
stand the Value of Money.
One of the most serious problems
that meets us in life is that of the
proper use of money. Profess indif-
ference to it as we may, it is the great
factor in human existence, without
which, at the present day, nothing can
go on.
1t seems curious that, in the face of
social matters as we find them, no more
attention is paid to teaching children
the value of money. How much misery
would be saved were this little precau-
ton taken! A father dies, and sudden
~ family accustomed to live at the
rate of a thousand year, discovers
that there is little or nothing left for
them.
If the boys and girls are So FORUM
ate as to procure positions that bring in
living income, how difficult do they
find it to live on the amount, simply
because they have never been taught
the value of a quarter. They have
had the use of an allowance as chill
dren, but no idea of it's expenditure
has ever been given them. When they
ran short and required more than they
had for some coveted pleasure they
supplied the deficiency by borrowing
of more careful relative, promising
to pay on next allowance day, thus es-
tablishing bad precedent.
Children should not be taught to be
niggardly, but if sufficient income is
allowed them, they should be taught
to make it sufficient. They should be
taught to reflect before spending their
money, SO that it may not all go for
taffy the first week, leaving long
blank of days when the glories of mar
bles, kites and other toys brighten in
proportion to the impossibility to OBJ
tain them unless some obliging relative
makes loan.
A girl should know the proper use of
her income as well as should boy, and
a boy should be taught to scorn as un-
manly and unworthy "a squire of
dames," borrowing for his own amuse-
ments money which his more careful
sister has saved. To do otherwise, is
to permit him selfishness which may
develop into a carelessness of the feel
inge of others particularly the women
of his family, be it wife, mother or sis
ter), SO long as his own wants are sup
piled.
Money and it's handling is the key
note to the human character, there fore
to it's spending should more serious
thought be given than has hitherto
been universally considered necessary

sWhy don't you stop that hiccoughing?"

"Stop nothing!" said he. "Ive been try

Then they adjourned to moistening es-

He took it and dissolved it in his mouth,
and the hiccougns went as if by magic,

How to Protect Bread,

The practice of wrapping each loaf of
bread in oiled paper when it is taken
from the oven and sealing the knot of
the string holding the paper, as is done
in few first-class shops on the other
side, is desirable for protecting bread
when the loaf has to be handled many
times in the process of delivery. The
bread is protected from dust and hand
ling as well as the possibility of bacilli,
and the paper prevents the moisture in
the bread from escaping and keeps the
bread fresh
