Ironing Collars.

Now that the wearing of linen collars
is once more universal, few lines on
the proper way of ironing them may be
acceptable. The best means to insure
success is to use raw starch, mixing it
to q smooth paste first, and then adding
as much water as needed for the arti-
C es without its being too thin. Do not
merely pass them through the starch,
but with very clean hands rub them as
if washing them; but not too hard so
that the starch is well soaked in.
Wiring them, or rather squeeze them
out, not too tightly, allowing no pow
der of the starch to be seen on the sur
face. Have ready a clean cloth folded
double, and long enough to let the col
lars lie flat. These should be placed
singly, and the cloth folded down once
on it, then another collar, then the
cloth folded down again, and SO on till
they are all done. Fold the long roll
then in half and give it sharp twist,
in which shape it must be left for some
hours. If not left long enough they
will not iron SO well. But they must
not be allowed to dry. Have ready
some irons very hot, only just not to
scorch. And let there be enough irons
not to have to wait for a second when
the first is cool. These must be very
clean and with good polish. To in
sure the latter have piece of beeswax,
and when the iron is taken off the fire
rub it over with the beeswax, and then
rub the iron on some crushed salt and
it will run smoothly. Now, on the IRON
ing-sheet, lay clean, thin cloth, a
handkerchief will do. Lay a collar on
this, fold over part of the handker-
chief and iron quickly from one end to
the other two or three times to dry it
little. While still steaming take off the
handkerchief, stretch the collar with
the hands, and iron briskly on the right
side straight across. If the iron is not
hot enough, or the collar too dry, the
starch will stick. When tie right side
is smooth, without creases, turn it on
the other side and iron it more slowly.
so as to dry it thoroughly. The irons
require constant renewing, as the damp
cools them quickly. If any starch APP
pears on the iron it must be scraped off
with knife before going back to the
fire. They heat better on stove or
kitchener than in front of the fire, as
often they are blackened by jets of flame
or smoke caused by draught. -Er-

The WORLDS Geyser-Eegions.

In the number of springs and noted
geysers, the Yellowstone National Park
and New Zealand far exceed Iceland, in
which The Great Geyser' and Strokhr
are the only two prominent spouters.
AS to the number of springs in New
Zealand, there are no definite data, but
they appear to be numerous. In the
Yellowstone Park, over two thousand
springs have been enumerated and
mapped, and among them are seventy.
one geysers, of which twenty are known
to spout to he CHIT of not less than fifty
feet. Of course, in each of the three
countries, there are hot springs outside
of the areas as here Indicated; and, il
these are taken into account, the Ameri-
can localities will exceed the others,
especially if the California and Nevada
springs are counted. However, leaving
the latter out of account, we find that
in the ad jacent country both north and
south of the park there are springs on
the same north and south line with the
geyser- basins of Firehole River; and, if
they are considered as part of the
same system, the length of the line of
thermal activity is about two hundred
miles.
AS to the heights to which the geysers
throw the columns of water. there is
probably but little difference between
the three regions, although the Yellow
stone Park has, perh :pS. greater num-
Der which erupt regularly to height
of one hundred feet or more. The rec

however, somewhat deficient as to data

romantic story to tell to the wayfarel
who will, take the time and patience te
loiter in his presence.
3 l CHANGED to fall in witt this peculia,
old fellow during my travel through
Europe some five years ago. fell IN
easy victim to his tongue wiles and in
the end it was my fortune to listen to
one OF his most romantic yarns.
The incidents which he so faithfully
portrayed, with telling minuteness as
to detail and the like. chung to me
throughout my entire continental trip:
and, even as sit here now, in nv home
in America, MAN. miles away from
the immediate locality connected w h
the watchman's story, the outl mes. the
shadows. the features, are yet fresh in
mind.
1t would, however, be tiresome for
me, as well as yourself, dear reader, to
repeat the story word for word as il
was told to me. l will endeavor to give
you the more particular parts, and
leave to your Imagination the task of
filing in the outlines, which are as fol-
lows:
Herman Van Berg was known rs the
leader of the White Caps. They were
a jolly lot of fellows, these White Caps,
who backed up their assertions with
swords points, either for study. drink
ing bouts At the gardens below. love in
cldents, or more serious questions of
merit, pertaining to dueling affairs.
Gretchen Grouse was the only child
OF the rich brewer in the CITY down
there. All! but she was maid to set
mems hearts on lire, to cause them to
put on the bucket of chivalry. and do
battle for one sweet smile from her fair
face.
n She was the belle of the occasion ::
either at the gay and festive ball, or
the skating rink, Gretchen's handsome
form and bewitching face were the first
objects of attraction.
Many a fierce and bloody conflict had
been fought for the maids sake; many
a sutton had been laid low at the foil s
point. Yet no victor could boast that
he had won Gretchen's hand She, who
had caused so much blood to be shed,
would turn in very horror from the man
who came and laid the laurels of his
triumph before her.
''Away from me your hand. for it is
stained with blood. Your heart can
not accept. 1t is black with the crime
which hangs over your head"
Those were her words when the
victor kneeled at her throne of beauty,
and sued for one sweet smile tor loves
own sake.
Finally it became a wide. spread belief
among the students of the University
that Gretchen rouse was ioveless
woman: They had fought one another,
spilled blood without stint, and she had
denied their suits ever.
