To make excellent iron-hOlders,
and at the same time utilize the
tops Of pair Of worn out boots. cut
the leather into squares and cover
two or three thicknesses OF 1t with
some suitable material, whipping 1t
closely in place. Over all put a
covering of nice white CLOTH and as
often as necessary remove this out

fresh one.
It will be found that whisp
broom will materially fac lltate the
dampening of clothes. which is a
matter that should receive careful
attention if the ironing is to be wei
done.

POLISHING FLUID.

Dissolve two ounces of pulver-
ICED gum arabic in pint of boiling
water; when cool stir in half an
ounce Of carbonate OF magnesia, and
after it has settled, bottle the clear
liquid for use.
When the shirts are all ironed,
put the first one on the skirt board,
and with a fine cloth moistened
with the fluid go over the surface
of the part to be polished, applying
the hot polishing iron as soon as
possible afterwards If any parts
become too dry before ironing mols
ten them again and repeat the Ope
ration. The polishing iron must b'
used quickly and lightly. a nlcke-
plated one is best, and care should
be taken never to let it become too
| hot.

the starch must not be made too
thick. 1t must be rubbed in un-
til the linen is completely saturated
and none is left unabsorbed on the
surface. In mild weather starch
the clothes from the rinsing water;
iu cold or windy weather, dry them
first, as both wind and frost snap
out the stiffness. After the linen is
perfectly dry, and couple of hours
before it is to be ironed, mix a
tablespoonful of starch in a little
cold water. Add little salt and a
piece OF borax, the size OF a hazel
nut, dissolved in boiling water

FROM BEER TO A BARONY.
The Career of the MatOrfbanks
Family and other English Brew.
From the Utica obserxer.

From the Utica Observer.
The first English beer Lord has been
created in the person of Sir Dudley
Coutts Majoribanks, the London brewer
whom Gladstone has just made Baron.
He is not the first brewer, however, to
reach the peerage, since Irish Sir Arthur
Guinness of Dublin stout fame was last
year made Lord Ardllawn. Very many
English brewers, notably the Basses,
hane been knighted, created Baronets,
ETC., but Sir Dudley is the first to rise to
the House of Lords over the vats. The
father Of this new peer wss a Scotch lad
who came to London many years ago
with letter of introduction to Banker
Coutts, setting forth the merits of the
bearer and urging that he be appointed
to place in one of the East Indian
branches of the bank. The old million
aire took fancy TO the boy and asked
him one day, "What would you say to
entering my counting room here, In
stead OF being exiled way off In India P"
The boys eyes glisteDed with pleasure
as he heard these words. He stayed in
London, rose to be senior partner of the
bank, aud left fortune OF over f600,-
600. For his son, Dudley Coutts-
named, we need scarcely say, for the
benefac,or of his youth-he bought a
third interest In Meux's brewery in Lon
don, an interest which has been worth
for many years quite 100000 per an
mum. The new Peer has been more
celebrated for the profuseness of his
hospitality and the aristratic tendencies
of his family than for his abilities. His
Hyde Park mansion is one of the finest
in London, and his eldest son married
the Duke of Marlborongh's daughter,
while his eldest daughter is wife of the
blue-blcoded John Campbell Gordon,
Earl Of Aberdeen. The brewer is now
as completely merged into nobility as is
possible, and doubtless trusts that few
generations Of titled ease will wash
every faint Of plebian trade from his es-
cutcheon. But long before the Majori-
banks reach this exotic state the plain
people of Great Britain will probably
have soured upon the whole system of
Lords.

A MODEM ROMANCE.
A Man Supposed TO have been Dead
and Buried over Ten Years Turns
I'm Alive Ont West.

and Buried over Ten Years Turns
Up Alive Ont West.
A strange and romantic affair has
just come to light in this city, which,
in its denouement, fairly rivals the
most brilliant results of the novel:st's
imagination.
About fifteen years ago Thomas
Patterson, a brother of John q. Pat.
terson, Esq, of this city, was united
in marriage to the eldest daughter of
Edward l.. Rice. The young couple
removed to Baltimore and resided
there for two years, but the hnsbaL d,
by reason of dissipated habits and a
charge of di- honesty prefer ed against
him by his employers (Which, how
ever, afterwards proved to be untrue)
left Baltimore, and his wife returned
to her parents In this city.
For two years after his disappear
ance nothing was heard OF Thomas
Pa terson, until one day word was re-
ceived by his relatives in this city to
the effect that he had died in q town
in Western Pennsylvania. His bro
ther went out, identified tbe body, to
hib cubihidCJlOut db buaL OI
Thomas Patterson. He brought the
remains to this city, and the v ife also
identified them as those of her hus-
band. The supposed Thomas Patter-
son was buried in the family burial lot,
IN this CITY, and the wife assumed
widows weeds, never doubling for an
instant that her husband had passed
into the confines of the spirit land.
A few days ago she received an as
founding revelation in the shape of
letter dated at Grand Rapids, Mlchi-
gan, written in the well-remembered
chirography of her husband, and
bearing The signature of Thomas Pat
to- son. The letter stated that the
writer had thoroughly reformed sew.
eral years ago, entered into business
in Grand Rapids, been very successful,
secured fair competency and good
home, aud now desired his wife to
come out and take up her residence
with him.
The wife entertalns not the slightest
doubt of the genuineness of the letter,
and Is now making preparations to 20
out tn Michigan and join her long-iost
husband.
Whose body it was that was brought
here and buried in the Patterson burial
lot as that Of Thomas Patterson, will
probably always remain mystery.

Riding TO save a Life.

A Georgia newspaper gives an ac-
count Of the heroism OF John Potter, q
ten year old boy who rode horse twelve
miles to Macon for the purpose Of calling
a physician TO attend his mother, who
was believed to be dying with oolic.--
The doctor could not be found, but a
kind druggist gave the lad bottle Of
medicine and ordered him to hurry
home. The brave lad rode home, deIig-
cred the medicine, and then tainted
from nervous exhaustion. The medicine
cured the sick woman, and the boy Is

precious medicine was PERRY DAVIS
