determine the amount necessary. Dip
the bosom and wristbands in the starch
until every thread is saturated, then
wiring them out, and roll tightly. They
will be ready to iron in half an hour.
Have your irons as hot as you would for
other starched clothes; iron the sleeves
and body Of the shirt first, then the
bosom and wristbands, pressing and rub
bing them until they are thoroughly dry
to give them the desired polish. Bend
the wristbands in shape, and when ready
to put away fold the shirt neatly, with
the bosom uppermost. Collars aud cuffs
are ironed in the same way.
Two ironing boards are necessary; a
large one covered with three or four
thicknesses of old blanket, then with
white muslin, basting both securely on
the under side. The second board is a
little larger than shirt bosom, and COW
cred in the same manner as the first IL
the small board is slipped into the shirt
and the bosom stretched smoothly upon
it, it will be no trouble to iron it with
out rumpling. Keep the irons smooth
by rubbing them while warm with a
piece Of beeswax tied in a cloth, or by
passing them over paper wet with coal
oil.

LaunderIng WhIte shlrts.

A practical woman writes for the
Western HOtGSekeeper in a practical way
on a practical subject. She says that in
laundering shirts the washing is fully as
important as the ironing. They may be-
allowed to soak in clean water over
night, or they may be washed without
it. Use soft water il you have it, heat
ing it as hot as you can bear your hands
in comfortably, and enough soap to re-.
move the dirt. Scald them for few
minutes in boiling aoapsuds, then rinse
through two waters, adding little blu
ing to the second, and hang them on the
line until dry.
No starch is needed until the shirts
are dry, then use the powdered starch
and mix about a tablespoonful in a pint
of cold water for each shirt. 1t will not
need cooking. The quantity will depend
somewhat upon the kind Cf shirt, an old
shirt requiring more starch than a new
one. A little prscttce will enableyou 10

two tablespoOnfuls Of butter; when hot
drop in the pieces Of chicken; allow them
to brown gradually, taking great care
the butter does not burn. AS soon as
the pieces are Drowned draw them to one
side OF the saucepan, and add to the fat

Cover the saucepan, push it to the back
part of the stove, where the chicken may
simmer slowly for an hour. When done,
dish the rough pieces in the center,
crossing the legs on the front Of the
platter; place the wings and the dark
meat at the sides; the back and breast
on top. Dish your chicken each time in
the same manner, so that the carver may
know exactly where he will find the dark

from the fire, add to it the yolk of one
egg, beaten with two tablespoonfuls Of
cream; strain this over the chicken.

LESSON FROM A BIRD SONG.


A little bird with feathers brown
Sat singing on a tree;
The song was very soft and low,
But sweet as IL could be-.

That ever they had heard.
But all the bright eyes looked In vain,
For birdie was 30 small,
And with modest dark-bfOwn coat,
He made no show Rt all.

good taste "Many Of the colors and

good repute," be asserts, shave been
borrowed from the sporting element.
gamblers on the race track and followers
OF the prize fight, who for long time
had monopoly of this style Of ward
robe, and were known by their shirts Of
wonderful design, as we'll as by their
clothes Of large and loud Checks Too
many OF our young men consider them
selves we'll dressed nowadays with the
lurid-colored shirt as part of their tot
lette. If they could, however, see them
selves with the eyes of others they would
very speedily come to a different conclu-
sion. A young man can, least Of all,
prOfane good taste in dress, no matter
how general foolish fad may become.
He is always being judged by someone
older than himself, and many business
man judges young mans character by
his dress. The colored shirt of violent
color, or design is not the young mans
friend; it is his enemy. He does not
impress people with his good taste by
wearing it; on the contrary, he shows
the weakness in his character Of tend
ency to unwise imitation. The quiet,
gentlemBnly garb is his, and he should
adhere to it. Employers look not for
the latest styles in young mans dress,
but for sense of neatness and becom-
ingness.
"Dress cheerfully; at 20 we need not
dress as if we we're 80. There is happy
medium between the black tie and the
violent cravst Of rainbow hue. That is
where good taste comes in, and young
man must exercise it. The colored shirt
is possible for him, but within limita-
tlons. The pin dot or stripe is not often
slve; on the contrary, it is becoming.
But brilliant cravats, fancy waistcoats,
loud and large checks in clothes, and
extreme colors in shirts, are not for the
young man of taste, refinement or of
future standing. Nor are they in one
whit better taste for the man of mature
years. They are offensive, and bespeak
the man who affects them"

The Jewish Flag.
grassl'

From the Chicago Tribune.
King Dsvid's banner-so called for
want Of a better name-has been for
mally adopted as q standard by little
band Of Jews in Chicago, aud the sight
Of the flag has raised in many hearts a
hope that the old dream of reOccupa-
tion Of Palestine by the tribe Of Israel
may become reality. 1t is simple
affair, this flag; merely piece Of white
silk, 8x5 feet in size, with double tri-
angle OF blue worked in the center.
There is no Jew in this city vino knows
the true significance of the symbol.
Even such learned men as Rev. DR.. Emil
G. Hirsch and DR.. Bernard Felsenthal,
the latter past master in the science Of
archaeology, are unable to satisfy them
selves as to it's meaning or origin.
There is nothing in Biblical, or Tai.
mudic, or national literature by which
itshistory can be traced, Despite this the
double triangle Of blue is recognized and
revered by Jews the world over. The
symbol is seen in many places and used
in many ways, but so far as known the
flag now owned in Chicago is the only
one OF it's kind in existence.
This banner was first unfurled last
week at session Of Uniformed Rank
Lodge No. 43 Of the Independent West,
ern Star Order, held at the Lessing Club
House on West Taylor Street. On that
occasion it was referred to as the Jewish
national flag, but exception is taken to
this by intelligent Jews for the good
reason that history fails to show that
their people, even in the height of their
power aud glory under the leadership of
King David, ever had national banner.
Tradition leads the antiquarians to be-
lieve that some Of the tribes, and notably
that Of Judah, may have had standards
of their own, and there is warrant for
this in the references to "the lion Of the
tribe Of Judah" which are accepted as
Indicative Of the tribal emblem. In the
days Of the ancient Jews, however, mys-
tiCism hourished, and there we're a num-
ber Of orders, strong in membership and
influence, each of which had its own
particular symbol. Among these was
the Order Of Kappalaar, or Kappslists, a
sort OF ancient Free Masonry. This was
one Of the most widely dilfused and
powerful Of the mystic organizations,
and it is not improbable that the double
triangle is mOdernized adaptation of
their ancient sign or emblem.

The Trade of Palestine.

Consular reports are always revealing
something that causes surprise, but one
recently sent from Palestine is more
than usually provocative of that emotion
because it deals with the Holy Land
from strictly commercial point Of view,
and shows not only that business goes
on there much as in other parts Of the
world, but that it is business of no in
considerable proportions. Last year the
total exports and imports amounted to
$3 3,248,000, a decrease of $35O,OO0 from
the year before, when trade had not
been hampered by the Sultsn's proselyt-
ing efforts in Armenia or his raising Of
huge armies for the invasion of Europe.
Palestine's chief article of export is soap,
for which, of course, Orientals have little
or no other use. Next in order of i'm
portance are oranges, sesame (which
really exists elsewhere than in robber
cRvee), beans, hides and maize. OF i'm
ports, cotton goods come first-being
about quarter Of the whole, then sugar,
petroleum, timber, flour, coffee, fine
cloth and rice. Great Britain took
&55,S00 of exports, and sent e279OO in
imports. British imports to Palestine
show q tendency toward diminutiOn, but
the figures may mislead, because it is
difficult to say what portions Of the i'm
ports from Egypt and other Turkish
ports are really Of British origin. French
imports are likewise declining, while
those from Germany show an increase.
This last is due to the German system
OF sending out commercial travellers to
exhibit samples of manufactures as we'll
as to study the prices and wants Of the
localities. Last year Germany sent
twenty-nine commercial travellers to Pal
estine, Austria eighteen, France thirteen
and Great Britain four. The goods
mostly in demand in Palestine are those
sold in the more important seSports and
towns in Turkey. Cotton goods, rice,
coal, iron, timed provisions, hardware
and fancy goods are the chief imports.
The production Of wine by the German
and Jewish colonies in Palestine is grow
ing both in quantity and quality. The
railway between Jaffa and Jerusalem is
in good working order, and the trains
run with great regularity.

Are Children Cruel or CurlousY ?

AEo OuuuEou OEubl UT OuELOubg
From the Salt Lake Herald.
The proceedings OF the convention of
women's clubs have made quite interest
ing reading. Those engaged in this club
work are very much interested in it, and
they are stirring up each others minds.
Any intellectual pursuit that does not
do this is not worthy the name.
AS would be expected, much consider.
alton was given to the subject Of train
ing children. One lady made the
assumption that the dominant feature of
the child's character is destruction,
rather than creation; while another lady
apparently inclined to the idea that cru
city is the Distinguishing characteristic
Of childhood. These are but different
phases Of the same idea. We should say
that the dominant characteristic of
childhood is curiosity, and il this be so,
it readily explains both the ideas above
referred to. A child may pull toy or
something else to pieces, but the purpose
usually is to find out what is inside and
how it is made. This is we'll illustrated
In the old story of the boy who took a
violin to pieces, and when asked why he
did 80, replied that he wanted to see
where the music came from Children,
or most Of them, want facts, and hence
it is that when told anything their first
question is, usually, "Is it trueS"
IL curiosity explains the destructive
faculty in children, II explains equally
we'll their seeming cruelty. 1t would
hardly be commended that child can be
cruel II it has no intention to be, though
what it does may be the cause of such
suffering that it would be- termed cru
city. A child that is unconscious Of the
effect OF It's acts can no more be cruel
than a locomotive engine that mADgles q
man can be cruel. Take the illustration
of child sticking pin through q fly.
The chief reason for the child's action is
it's desire TO see the fly make a struggle
that interests it. Take the case where
child places a stick on worm to see it
writhe. The motions Of the worm inter
est it, but it does not realize that the
motions are the result of pain expert
enced. The number Of children who
will inflict pain upon any living creature
when once they understand that the
doing Of certain things to animals gives
them pain, and that to give pain cause
lesaly is cruelty, is very few indeed.
There are innstely cruel children, but
they always realize that their acts Of
cruelty inhict pain.
The curiosity Of children explains far
more than any theory Of the tendency Of
children TO destroy or to be cruel does.
Their destructiveness and cruelty are
most frequently but the manifestation
OF their curiosity.

THE SUEETEST SONGS.

The sweetest themes unread;
The sweetest chords are left unstrung,
The sweetest words unsald.
How strange 1t Is, and yet how true,
Surprising mortal ken.

Though brightestpathsr remain unknown
And few the paths We tread,
Though we must struggle on alone
With deepest tears unshcd;
Although our hearts are anguish wrung
And ev'ry effort pain,
II We can keep another young,
We have not lived In vain.
IT'S said the fairest buds decay;
Perhaps they do, and yet,
Upon the darkest. dullest way.
How many flowers are met.
The happy hours so quickly fee
We sigh to see them 20.
When out upon life's troubled sea
The moments move so slow.
Shall sweetest songs be left unsung'
The sweetest themes unrcadi
The sweetest chords be left untstrung1

The very best we can.

CLOSE PLANTING OF PECANS

In the course OF an article on the
pecan, contributed to the Practical
Farmer by John f. Read, OF Texas, the
writer says:
The crop offers inducements to
planters in the small amount OF capi-
tai required and In the fact that nuts
can be safely held for higher prices
whenever the market is overstocked.
Although the pecan belongs to the
same family as the hickory and black
walnut, it can be produced at much
greater profit than can either of these
nuts. 1t caE be grown as universally,
is popular everywhere, and in six years
from planting trees come into bearing
and continue for hundreds Of years"
Almost any kind Of soil will do if it Is
not underlaid with q stratum so hard
that the tap-ro0t cannot penetrate it.
Until recent period it was sup.
posed that the trees must be planted
not less than thirty-tive feet apart,
but it has been found that il they are
headed in and otherwise properly
pruned when they are small, they can
be planted only twenty feet apart each
way. This will give one hundred and
twenty trees per acre, and it will be at
least twenty years before any Of them
will have to be cut out to give more
room to those which remain. Planting
in this way seems advisable, because
the trees, being OF the same age, the
same distance apart, and tue same
height, will be more sure OF complete
fertilization and will, therefore, pro-
duce heavier crops than can be obtain
ed from those scattered over large
area. The work Of gathering the crop
is also greatly facilitated.
In putting out pecan trees, care
should be taken TO secure the roots in
the best possible condition. Thou
sands OF trees have been obtained from
nurseries which had their bearing
qualities injured by the cutting off OF
their tap-roOts. The best way of
securing trees is said to be by planting
nuts in winter or spring and, when
the trees are less than a year old,
transplant them with the roots un.'
broken.

INFANCY AND CHILDHOOD.
TRAINING OF CHILDREN REQUIRES AN

bly, enforced Is, in so far as it is en-.
forced at all, certainly superior to a
poor system. Twice, when lecturing
upon the training OF children to an
audience Of women, | have, after the
lecture, been approached by one OF my
hearers, who in each case made almost
the same criticism upon what had
been said. Though the two women
were unknown to each other and in
cities far apart, each said virtually
the same thing. Both suggested
politely that however admirable the
lecture might be in its general scope,
it could not be valuable to more than
small portion OF the audience, since
it was addressed to those only who
possessed indomtable will power;
and that while all would probably ac-
knowledge the wisdom Of my sugges.
tions, few could be steadfast enough
to follow them out against inevitable
opposition. To which structure can,
in connection with the present SUBJ
ject, say that il a mother clearly
recognizes her lack OF will power,
never is the time more propitious for
her to begin to exercise what little she
has than with the infant few weeks
old who has none at all. Perchance
by that exercise her own too feeble
will power may be induced to keep
pace with the growth Of that Of her
child. In any event, it is her only
hope for supremacy, and therefore is
an opportunity that should be eagerly
embraced
