HOW TO STARCH.

The starching is nearly as important
as washing. Let the prints dry before
doing it. Use starch properly colored
for colored grounds, unless there is
white in the design to be muddled by
it. See that the starch is we'll cooked,
free of Jumps, not scorched and not too
thick
Turn your garments wrong side out,
dip them in, kneading them we'll into
the starch, but not letting it flow in
the right side. Turn and hang out,
well spread, in the ARREST shade you
can find until bone dry.
That is for thick stuffs, ginghams,
cambrics, calicos, and SO on.
Muslins, lawns and airy batistes re-
quire different usage. The best starch
for them is clear gum water-either
gum arabic or gum tragacanth. Take
care that every fibre is well wet with
it, but squeeze, not wiring, out all the
surplus and hang to dry.
As soon as the garment feels little
rough on the surface-when they are
neither damp nor dry-take down, fold
and roll. Unfold breath at a time
and pat and pull it between your two
hands until it is almost dry. When
you have gone over the whole garment
sprinkle it lightly and roll tight. Leave
it for at least an hour, covering so
thickly that the outside cannot dry.
Sprinkle and roll in the same way
the thicker garments, which, however,
need a great deal more water than the
muslins But do not make them too
wet above all, do not have wet
splotches on semi-dry ground. Any
fabric that will hies under the iron is
too wet for good results.
Do your sprinkling with the atomi-
Ear or fine rose-nosed watering pot, SO
gently that a mist, not a thunder
shower, shall descend upon your gar
ments, that is, if you would escape
smears and sticky irons. Atlanta Con-
stitution.

There are two well-known recipes for
cleaning white silk lace. One is to
wind il around a piece of wood, like a
niece of broom handle, or glass bot
tie. and TO soak it all night IN warm
CASTLE soapsuds and milk; rinse in
warm water. soak in soap and warm
water: rinse again without rubbing,
bleach in the sun and dry The second
method recommends that the lace be
spread out upon white paper, covered
with ealcined magnesia; another sheet
OF paper placed upon it, and laid away
for three days between the pages of
large book; then shake off the powder,
and the lace will be clean and white

FOR A NEW TRIAL.
William G.. Flint'S Case
Remanded.
The Supreme Court Rules That the
Widow Was the Victim of
Errors of the Court.

The Supreme Court has filed a long ex-
pected decision In the contest over the
will of the late William c. Flint.
Flint was a wel-known lawyer of this
city. and died in January. 1891, leaving an
estate of the value of $4,000 or there
abouts. The major part of this property
was beQueathed to his widow, Annie f.,

vised to the testator's eight-year-old daugb-
ter. Martha Flint, by former wife. Mary,
from whom he had obtained a divorce
The divorced wife was dissatisfied with
the Dequest, and came 10 San Francisco

was shown that the court had erred In not
permitting the widow to testify as to the

the counsel for the contestant had offered
no evidence of the kind.

Judge Levy has listened TO the prayer
OF little Ernestina Kline, and has deliv-
cred her cut of the hands of her guardians
into the arms of Mrs. Adele Schiller.
The whole story of the little ones trou-
bes was published in theicolumns of The

but a 10-year-old child, and came to this
country from Europe after the death of
her parents two years ago. She was
brought here by an uncle and aunt named
Moriiz. with whom she lived until yester.
day. The poor little girl, according 10 he,
own statement and that OF another aunt.
Mrs. Schiller. seems TO have led a miser
able life in the bosom of the Moritz family.
Finally Mrs. Schiller came to the rescue
and asked the court to appoint her the
cbild's guardian.
Ernestina related on the witness stand
how she had been made to rise at s
A. NJ. do all the housework, and was re-
varied with kicks and neglect Other
witnesses told of outrageous treatment
On the other side, however. there we're
some seventeen witnesses, all neigbbors
who testified that ErnestiDa was treated
with the utmost loving kindness and care.
Consequently Judge Levy was left with a
knotty problem to solve.
Yesterday morning Judge Lew called

that be had decided to grant the request of
Mrs. Schiller. He did not comment on the
testimony given. but as it was ErDestlna's
own wish, and taking into consideration
the facts of the case, Judge Levy ordered
that little Ernestina Kline be removed
from the custody of Mr.. and Mrs. Moritz
and handed over to the care of Mrs. Adele
Schiller. Ihere was no scene whatever,
save that Mrs. Schiller expressed huge de-
light at the decision and warmly embraced
