How to Iron Shirts.

You will need two rough-faced pol
ishipg irons, which can be procured
for you by your hardware dealer.
With these in your possession proceed
to dampen your starched clothes.
For collars and cuffs have about one
yard CT muslin, dip this in clean wa
ter and wiring out as dry as you can
by hand. Place the collars in alter
nate layers, two thick across the
cloth, fold over and continue placing
them until they are all in. Have
only one thickness of cloth between
each layer, as more than this will
make them too damp. Now roll up
tight and place under a weight Of
about twenty-five pounds for thirty
five minutes, take out of the fold and
put them in laWers together, roll
again in the cloth and put under the
weight for several hours. They will
then be ready for ironing. Have a
little common wax for the irons to
make them smooth and have them
hot, not too hot so as they will scOrch.
Should the irons have tendency
to stick, place some table salt on a
smooth board and rub the face of the
iron over it until smooth. The shirts
should be dampened like the collars.
Instead of using muslin use the low
est part of shirt, which fold over the
bosom and interfold the wristbands.
Let the neck band be covered in the
fold, now lay them one on the other
in a pile for several houis with no
weight, and when you are nearly
ready to iron them, roll up tight sep
erately let them remain thus for
about an hour and they will be in fine
condition for ironing. To do good
work use plenty of pressure-the
more the better-as one of the first
requisites ola good ironer is strength.
Now, with these instructions and
practice you can get your shirts, col.
lars and cuffs just as stiff and glossy
as the finest new work, -DetrOH Free

Wise Words.

Hope is a good breakfast but bad
supper.
Time and adversely are two pow
erful deStroyers.
The first step in debt is like the
first step in falsehOod,
Vice stings us even in our pleas
uses, but virtue consoles us even in
our pains.
Cheerfulness or joyfulness is the
atmosphere under which all things
thrive.
A life spent worthily should be
measured by nobler line, by deeds,
not years.
Any one who has any one of the
virtues strongly developed has col
oring of them all in his character.
There is many a heart that dWells
in its soul, like hermit in his cell,
its own sad and sorrowing confessor.
A jest is often weak and silly
thing a witticism, cold and cruel
thing but a joke is ever the fun of
humor.
History is a mighty drama, enact
ed upon the theatre of Time, with
suns for lamps, and Eternity for a
background.
Success don't impose itself on any
one. Those who win must reach for
things, and at the same time Guilt
yate their grip.
All the real wits and humorists are
sedate people ; their wit and hu-
NOR is worked out soberly with line
and plummet.
He who decides in any case, with
out hearing the other side of the
I question, though he may determine
justly, is not therefore just.

Mr.. Pettifer, an intelligent English
worker in electric plating and secre-
tary of the WOrkmen's Association
for Defense of British Industry, after
experiencing the evil effects of free
trade in his own country and obsery-
ing at length the benefits of the
American tariff system says
ANY person who has to earn
living in America as producer must
first become crazy before he becomes
free trader, and the farmers must
be the craziest of the whole lot to
think of sucn thing. Before any
of your Workingmen (either engaged
in manufacturing or agriculturel talk
about free trade, let them send one
of their number oyer here to see what
it is doing for this country let him
walk about for six months looking
for job, until his coat gets ragged
and his shoes get thin, and he gets
the thinnest of all, and everywhere
he asks for work he will be told that
the Germans and Belgians are dong
the work cheaper than he can do it
then let them send for him home
again and hear what he says about
free trade. If it is the surplus rev.
enue that is causing the trouble, send
1t to some free trade country. You
never knew them to have surplus
or if you don't like to do that, take it
out to sea and sink it, or bury it, or
do anything, in fact, rather than
adopt free trade; that is to say, if you
do not want foreign competition to
ruin your manufacturing industries,
and by so doing ruin your farmers
by robbing them of their home mar
ket."

Who Was the Forgery

Maris & Smith, brokers, OF No. 20 South
Third street Philadelphia. are the firm
whose name was used by the person or
persons who sent to Secretary Fairchild
the bogus offer of S., 265, 900 of bonds on
the 18th. A member OF the firm said:
A letter was sent to Mr.. Fairchild which
contained an offer OF s., 600, 600 OF Alp
per cent bonds at $l.OS. Ind $265. 900 Of
A per cent bonds at S1.27. Both were &C.
cepted by Mr.. Fairchild. There was no
attempt on the part of the forger. who
ever he was. to initiate the firms sigma
ture. The first intimation We had OF the
matter was when Assistant United States
Ire a Page informed us that the
bonds offered by us had been accepted
by the government. I sent word to
Mr.. Page that we had not offered the
bonds to the government. An, investiga-
tion then followed, and as soon as we saw
the letter we informed Mr.. Page that a
forgery had been committed. Detectives
were put upon the case at once. and al.
though o certain party is suspected of the
crime, no proof OF his guilt has been discov.
cred. The thing was done OF course for
stock jobbing purposes, and the market,
as you know, improved after the
ment OF the purchase. The government
can hold the forger. il he is apprehended,
and l suppose he can be severly punished.
We are now doing all we al to discover
the guilty party.
