Ware 6 Lslc: Market Letter.

No significance could be attached to the decline of 3 to 4 points in Liverpool be- yond disposition to act in sympathy with the cis-Atlantic markets Spots de- clned points on sales of 5000 bales. The opinion was expressed that spinners would become liberal buyers around these prices.
 Yesterdays activity spent it's force with the session, as we have hardly experience ed more featureless market than pre- vailed today. Traders who recently sold in anticipation of a further decline cover ed in sufficient quantities to cause -steadi- ness and even slight advance. The statement for the week of spinners talk ngs. almost doubled the amount during the comparative week last year. which shows quite clearly that at these prices mills are good buyers, and the consump- tion will almost surely exceed all records.

Dry Goods.

New York, April 15-The week in the dry goods market ends with comparatively little interest in the market in a specula- tive way, although here and there in- creased buying for immediate wants is evidenced. Prices continued very firm, and the outlook for possible advances Is re- garded as favorable on certain lines, but the majority are willing to continue at present levels.

For Black Lace,

Black lace may be washed in n tepid
lather, then rinsed III warm water.
and finally in water to which n little
bjueing or ammonia has been added.
Black lace. which has become brown
through neglect, should be soaked in
warm tea of moderate strength. and
then washed in mixture of tepid tea
and soap lather.
Under no circumstances should
starch be used for Il black lace. 1t will
give an ugly glazed look. If any stiff
fleming he required let it be gum arabic
dissolved in tea. Just the same care
must be exercised in ironing a black
lace as any other. though soft paper
may be substituted for the muslin.
Seemingly hopeless lace may be alb
sOlutely restored. Even a bit of neat
mending may pass unnoticed.

Keen the Bows Interested.

Fathers and mothers ask me this
question every day: What shall do
with my boys? My girls are all right"
This is simple problem and easy to
answer. Girls are naturally timid and
dependent; they grow up by their
mothers side, initiate the mother, and
receive the greatest share of her atten-
ton. Boys are more restless and in
dependent, and need the most careful
guidance. They must be kept busy
and interested. Don't expect them to
sit for any length of time: keep them
busy; help them 20 over their school
work: tell them how you remember the
hard work you had to do when you
were at school and how, probab bly,,
your teacher was not half so nice and
