IRONING A SHIRT WAIST.

Not infrequently young woman
ends it necessary to launder a shirt
waist at home for some emergency
when the laundryman or the home ser
want cannot do it. Hence these direc-
tions for ironing the waist: To iron
summer shirt waists so that they will
look like new it is needful to have
them starched evenly with Defiance
starch, then made perfectly smooth
and rolled tight in damp cloth, to be
laid away two or three hours. When
ironing have a bowl of water and
clean piece of muslin beside the iron
ing board. Have your iron hot. but
not sufficiently SO to scorch. and abso-
lutely clean. Begin by ironing the
back, then the front, sides and the
sleeves. followed by the neckband and
the cuffs. When wrinkles appear ap-
ply the damp cloth and remove them.
Always iron from the top of the waist
to the bottom. If there are plaits in
the front iron them downward, after
first raising each one with a blunt
knife. and with the edge of the iron
follow every line of stitching to give it
distinctness. After the shirt waist is
ironed it should be well aired by the
fire or in the sun before it is folded
and put away, says the Philadelphia
Inquirer.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot reach the
diseas ed portion Of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness. and that is by consti-
tutional remedies Deafness Is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucus lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is infiamed
you have rumblng sound or imperfect hear
ing. and wheE II Is entirely closed deafness is
the result and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh
which is nothing but an infiamed condition OF
the mucus surfaces.

than expected after our yesterdays de- cline of 15 to 20 points, Liverpool re- gained nearly all the loss, and proved surprisingly steady. Shorts on this side hurried to cover at the opening and first prices here were 6@S points better than last night. However, as soon as the covering by shorts was over, the market relapsed and reports of showers over night in north Texas and good rains over the north central portion of the belt hastened a decline, which was most pronounced in July. That month lost not only the morning gain, but ten points more, selling as low as 8.n, or 12O points below the top of the April rise. The new crop months did little more than fall back to last nights prices.
 About noon, telegrams reported sprink ling at Dallas and a nice rain falling at Greenville, Texas. There is a growing belief that the widely scattered showers are the precursors to a general soaking rain, like that recently enjoyed by the fortunate Atlantic. section The trade is of but one mind as to the result of such a happy outcome, and the short interest has been largely increased in anticipa- ton of it.

Murphy 6 Co.'s Cotton Letter.

New York. June 18.-There was a ral- ly of to 6 points in early prices for cotton. No little interest was shown in the market. Prices it appears had been depressed mainly because of the suspic- ion that Texas has been considerably improving, but as matter of fact, there was no evidence of any decided improve ment there outside of statement in yes terday's government report that cotton w.s holding its own.
 The roint dwelt upon by operators Is that Texas cannot possibly make a re- markedly heavy crop this season because of the dry winter months there. At all events, even considering a most brilliars outlook at this time 1t Is recalled that the period of deterioration. as rule, usually comes in the after part of July There was little in the news this morn ing beyond covering of local shorts. Several points in Texas reported rain the most important being at Luling.
