COTTON FUTURES.

1 New York. Feb. 2S.-Exctement at the
Cotton Exchange ran high again to-day
At one time prices showed a net rise Of
1899 points, after the market had opened
sal points higher. The early cables were
disappointing and the local contingent
was q little inclined to sell until ii be-
came apparent that the speculative public
vas still on the buying hand, with a
lp,itless capacity for absorbing cotton.
European orders were particularly heavy,
although the demand was general. A
feature of the local buying was the bust
ness of Wall Street concern, which
bougi enormously with apparently lin
itless and special demand for August
contracts. This concern was a heavy sell
er yesterday, and had changed front so
many times lately that the local traders
were puzzled as to the actual relations
of the house to the market at the present
time. There Is said to be a large short
interest IN March cotton. The local trad
ers are nervous, and while more or less
out of sympathy with any further adj
vance at the present time, remain afraid
to go short of the market, fearing ma
nipula ton and the effects of renewed spec
ulative buying by the public bull inter-
ests with the statistical position still ex-
ceptionally strong, except for large re-
oeips. Talk of increased acreage and
heavy fertilizer purchases was factor
which held the new crop positions in,
check. The excitement increased as the
session advanced. Just before the close.
however there was period of reaction
under enormous realizing, which caused a
sharp decline from the top. The mar
ket finally closed easy and irregular at
net advance of 14l24 points.
The sales OF the day are estimated at
1000. 600 bales, this being the largest bust
ness with a few exceptions, in the history
of the cotton market.

COTTON.

The cotton market advanced to-day, and
there was a general good feeling among
the trade as TO the prospects for better
prices shortly. Predictions for 10-cent cot
ton are being made freely The only
drawback to the market was the large
receipts, but this did not seem to have
any influence in checking the advance Lo-
cal sales were S7S bales. The receipts for
the day were 3,70S bales. Receipts this
season. 92S .S26 bales, against 979132 bales

FOR THE BRIDE-ELEcT.
Linen, book and Rose showers Are
Becoming More Popular at
Entertainments.

The bride Of to-day is being made the
recipient of many social honors. All
her girl friends pay her tribute by these
pretty entertainments, and the popu-
lar maid must be ready for her wedding
several weeks before the event trans
spires, for at each of the functions she
is supposed to wear one of the trous-
seau gowns. Most of these affairs are
luncheons or breakfasts, each with a
special feature. A "lnen shower" for
instance, consists of each guest bring
ing piece of linen, a doiley, center
piece or bureau scarf, whatever one
chooses, and as the party leaves the
table the pieces are thrown at the bride
to-be.
Fora"book shower" each guest brings
a book appropriately inscribed to her
friend, with a sentiment which the
giver fancies. OF course, each hostess
can use her own ideas in planning her
entertainments, and in her invitations
puts in one corner what each guest is to
bring for the honored one. "Tea-
spoons" "cups and saucers," plates"
and sofa pillows" are all acceptable.
The contributions go toward furnish.
ing the brides new home with mem
ories of her girlhood days and friends.
The "rose shower" should be left for
the last affair before the wedding, and
as the bride departs an immense bag
filed with rose petals is burst over her
head, and each maid throws a handful
Of the fragrant blossoms, signifying
the hope that her future may be rose
strewn. The bag is made of tissue pa
per, and the girls will all have been
saving their rose petals for weeks for
this occasion.-Chicago Times-Herald.

THE ToUGHENING PROCESS.
How to Harden the Constitution of
Weak and Delicate
Children.

Some very crude ideas have existed,
and still receive some credence in GER
tain quarters, relative to the process
Of hardening the constitution" as it
is called. Many people are not yet
sufficiently cognizant of the fact that
the constitution is never toughened or
hardened" by undue exposure to the
summers sun, the winters wind, or by
indulgence in strains or over efforts.
Ill-informed mothers sometimes dip
their infants in cold water with this
same fallacious idea of manufacturing
hardness. 1t is a constantly weaken
ing, enervating process, and when the
babe succumbs TO some acute malady,
and is laid away under the "mysteri-
GUS dispensatlon of Providence" idea,
it ought to be thundered through the
land that exposure does not tougher,
while the sentiment should appear in
letters as startling as those which
Belshazzar saw on the wall of old,
that Providence works no miracles to
counteract human folly, and that ma
ture's laws are inexorable, standing
on the statute hook of time subject to
no amendments at the hands of man.
The best way to harden the human
constitution is to do it as we would
harden the constitution of horse, by
taking good care OF it, fostering its
vitality. always remembering that this
exposure idea doesn't show the hu-
man body as much courtesy even as
we show to hat or a garment, which
are never made better, but always
worse, by being banged about. Good
care, then, is the thing needed. This
does not mean coddling and over
swathing. which are quite as bad as
undue exposure. It means the happy
medium in this as in all things.
Weakly children may be greatly +
strengthened by sun baths and anoint- I
ings with oils These two statements 1
need qualifications and explana-
ton. As to the sun baths, it
were well If every dwelling was so
constructed that one room could be
had specially for sun baths-a room
on the sunny side. Of course, having a
broadside Of glass, and arranged so
that uniform temperature can be

young and the old could get mucs
