With July Also Much Higher
at 9.95 Cents.
BULLS TRY TO CHECK ADVANCE.
Enable to Overcome the Effect OF
Unusual Conditions in the
Market, Which All Tend
Toward Top Prices.

New York. April s.-May cotton was again
the feature Of a very sensational market to-
day. selling up to 1ossc. a new high record.
There was again very strong demand for
July, which. next to May, was most active,
and once sold at s.ssc. The bulls maintained
their attitude OF last week. and did what
they could to discourage the advance. but
were helpless. IN the face OF unusual con-
ditions.
Only 4ooo 900 bales are due IN Liverpool, and
the visible supply In this market is barely
half that Of last year. Good weather. i'm
proved cables and the great excess OF ex-
ports over receipts make . combination
which the shorts fnd impossible 10 over
come.
The top price for May was reached sew
erai times in the frst hour. July went TO
$50 and other options were correspondinEly
strong and active The market maintained
It's firm tone all through the hrst hour.
There was q renewal Of the plmor Of last
week that plans are being laid 60 organize a
corner in July. Further buying by the shorts
advanced the price of May to 1GS4c at IL 20
o'clock July was then quoted at 9sSc and
August at SAC.
In spite Of the earnest efforts OF the bulls
to check the advance, May sold up 70 1870
were decidedly light and the maintenance
Of high prices was due almost entirely to
covering OF short contracts.
May cotton touched 10.3Sc. the top price
Of the day. in the early afternoon. There
was no news to account for the further ad-
vance other than that the shorts were still
fearful Of the situation and continued to
cover. The bull faction appeared to be
well satisfied with conditions and sold May
moderately.
The market became somewhat unsettled
toward the CLOSE with prices Reneralty be-
low the top. although the reputed leader
OF the long interest it was reported. pur-
chased something like Goo bales of May
cotton ct a price very neer the high figure.
The closing was steady, with these bid and

We may not associate muscular training with anything so softly pretty ana picturesque as a little Japanese girl Yet fin the land of the chrysanthemum there Is the most extraordinary muscular train tng-a training which commences in early childhood.
 This training gives the Japanese wo- man the charm of looking very young until she is very old. She grows up as quickly as she grows old slowly.
 Her body $50 trained that every move ment Is gracemul. She makes the simple act of serving tea as picturesque as a dance.
 A bevy of maddens will enter the room without sound from their stocking-shod feet, glide up to you. and then. falling upon their knees, lay the food before you and continue kneeling, with dropping eyes and hands, until you are ready to be served.
 When the Japanese girl dances you also learn what her athletic training has done for her. It is not dancing in our sense of the word, but posturing and dumb act ing. A tragedy may be enacted by the dance. There Is fierce rushing forward in a springlng posture, followed by dis dain, with pursed lips, titled chin and scornfully averted eyes. Her stiff rigtdity and writhing pastures betoken remarkable muscular training. Every attitude and gesture is perfectly graceful above the waist; the gait alone is clumsy, because the Japanese woman wears clogs.
 When Japanese women dance, they dance with everything but their feet; they sway their bodies and heads, wave their arms and open, shut twirl and fling their fans.
 If little Miss Chrysanth mum always remained on her knees 1t Would be easy to fall in love with her. And she does spend most of her days in that posture, both for courtesy and comfort.

Nowhere will you ind hands and wrists more delicately moulded than in Japan: nowhere arms and busts more beauti- fully rounded; nowhere cheeks as plump and rosy, like ripe, red plums. The Japanese complexion Is clear, If brown. velvety. and of rich damask red. What is the secret of the plump, smooth cheek; 1 the curved and rounded arm; the full,
 well-deveioped throat and neck? It is athletic development. What one
 kind of training does for their bodies.
 another kind of training does for the
 muscles of the arms. throat, hands and face.
 The little Japanese maiden konws, even if she does not put 1t in so many words,
 that tine circulation must be stimulated
 and that the blood is brought to the sur
 face by friction. Instead of buying flesh
 brush or mitten-she probably couldn't find one in a Japanese shops-she keeps a little globe or ball tucked away some- | where in her rainbow-hued, flowing sleeve. and when she has nothing else to do she rolls her cheeks, or her throat, or her arms.
 It is a kind of massage, and it answers | the purpose beautifully. Not only the ! cheeks, but the throat neck arms, hands and limbs are treated to the ball rolling process.
 those about as large as an orange to spheres nearly as large as a small ball I used for the game of bowls. The balls are of wood and are heavy. Why may not this ball-rolling process be introduced here? Western beauties should follow their Oriental sisters plan of cosmetic treatment.
 Like massage, the various motions of the ball upon the surface of the body
 bring the blood from the interior of the body to the outside surface therC5y stimulating the circulation.

 Washingtonia and Nella-The two most important cosmetic to make q good complexion? Make 1t three-fresh air, ex- ercise and deep breathing. Try them. and see how radiant you become. If you are confined to the house, throw open the window and get breath of fresh air as often during the day as possible. Don, take 1t In in homeopathic doses, but be greedy and breathe 1t in with deep, long, full hreaths. If woman will close the IDS when going out in the cold. hold the head erect and breathe deeply, she will not feel half so cold. She can keen delightfully warm without @ jacket if she will breathe. Mrs. Dombey died, you Know. because she didn't make an ef- Tort. It is an easy matter to breathe correctly. but 1t does require an effort-- an effort which. after a time, becomes second nature.

Massage or ball-rolling takes the place of exercise, in a way. This makes 1t val uable for anyone who cannot or will no. exercise.
 The ball is moved in circular manner.
 with some little pressure. Wrinkles have
 to flee before this ball exercise. which IS,
 therefore a splendid thing for the sKin
 and the complexion.
 The skin of person in good cohdition is
 firm in density, as may be seen in ath.
 letes who are fin good condition. The oidness of the cells of the skin. as they present themselves in the face, and
 particularly in those tissues underneath
 the eyes, where the natural density tof
 the skin is less than in other portions or
 the body, is ordinarily. in itself, an evil dence of lack of exercise. The surface of the face is in such people generally apt to present an appearance which may vary from the normal in several particulars.
 If women would take exercise their coniplexions would be infinitely better, but if they will not exercise, let them try. by massage or ball rolling, to keep their skin in good condition.
 Exercise not only improves the mus cles, but, by increasing the nutrition or the body generally, improves the appear ance of the skin. It causes increased de-
 struction and the more rapid carrying away by the blood current oI any ehoto
 material which may have accumulated. The use of the ball Is more effective as a stirnulant for the skin if a hot or Turk ish bath has been taken previously and the flesh is still warm from its effects. Vigorous exercise may take the place Of the bath, provided it has been vigorous enough to stimulate the sweat glands to increased excretion. Through this excre- ton the skin is made an unhealthy medi- um for the development of microbes. Dermatologists differ as to whether
 some of the diseases which attack the
 face. destroying the beauty of the conn plexion. are microbic in character or f not. Many of the more common forms
 of disease of the skin which interfere
 with the beauty of the complexion are
 due to microbes.
 If the skin is kept in the best possible
 physical condition these microbes will
 never have a chance to get foothold,
 and even when they have once obtained
 tngress into the tissue of the skin,
 hygenic treatment that is directed to the
 building up of the body as whole, and
 establishing effective circula ton, will
 often be sufficient to cure the disease
 and restore the skin and complexion to
 their normal condition.

The little Japanese girl understands ali this. apparently. for she is not satis. iied with merely taking this superficial care of her complexion. She goes to the root of the matter. and exercises She uses another ball in another manner. Matches at bouncing a ball." as they call 1t, are favorite sports with the maid. ems of Japan. The balls are made attrao-
 tive by being bound with brightly colorod silks.
 Another game, which gives them need cd exercise, as well as grace and light ness, ts battledore and shuttleclock. which they play to perfection. Their shuttle cocks are tiny feathered balls. made of seeds. and their battledores are of the same light wood of which their clogs or sandals are made, with the backs painted in gorgeous colors.
 The youthful Japanese belle. like her sister of the Occident, Is not averse to showing off her beauty. dress and figure and she finds in her games matchless op- portunfty for display.
 Nowhere in the world will you find nnaidens more expert at archery than Tn Japan. I've went to an archery gall lery." A traveller writes home. After talk ing the inevitable cup of tea, we were given light bamboo bows and tiny arrows, wherewtth we so successfully and con tinuously missed the mark that we adopt ed the lazy Oriental way of letting the girls do the shooting for us. It was fascinating to see how gracefully they shot the arfows, and how often they hit the mark nor was 1t in the least uncom- fortable to recline and have one girl fan you while another shot the arrows. They were so sweet and winSome. and smiled so betwltchlngly.'

 Alicia B.-Pouthomancy is a long word, | to be sure It means telling fate or character by footprints, or by studying the conformation of the foot. Delicate. pink ankles, for example, the disciple of norrthomancy will tell you show that a woman is vain and "fiirtatious." There fore if you happen to have such ankles. cultivate humility and emulate the modesty and reserve of a Puritan maiden A high instep, as everybody knows. shows birth and breeding. just as well-formed hand does Will the water run under the arch of your foot? Be content. if it will. for in your veins runs the bluest of blue blood. If the joint of the great toe is becoming enlarged. paint 1t every night with tincture of iodine. That should reduce the swelling. Don't use the iodine, however. if there Is any break | in the skin For rheumatic swellings of the joints. either of hands or feet. an excellent remedy is a liniment made of equal parts of spirits of ammonia and oreganum oil.
