The Origin oG Starching.

The course Of history carries us back
no further than the year 1854 for the
origin of starching ia London. IL was
in that year that Mistress Van der Plasse
came with her husband from Flanders
to the English metropolis ''for their
greater safety" and there professed her
self a starcher. The best housewives Of
the time were not long in discovering
the excellent whiteness of the Dutch
linen." as it was called, and Mistress
Plssse soon had plenty of good paying
clients. Some of these began to send
her ruffs of lawn to starch, which she
did SO excellently well that it became a
saying that if any one sent her ruff
made of spiders web she would be
able to starch it. So greatly dill her
reputation grow that fashionable danes
went to her to learn the art and mystery
Of starching, for which they gladly paid
premium of "a or e5, and for the Sc
cret of seething starch they paid gladly
q farther sum Of 20 shillings.-New York
