hot the clothes will retain their softness
and elasticity to the end. 1t is the hot
irons and hot water that cause fisnnels
to shrink. Any pieces embroidered
with silk should be washed and hung
in the house and ironed when less than
half dry with a very hot iron. These
pieces should never be starched or
dried and Camp ned, and the embroi-
dered parts should always be ironed on
the wrong side. 1t is best to keep
these pieces, such as centre-pieces,
doyleys, ETC., for another day when
you can take your time about doing
them. Dish towels aud cloths should
be ironei and kept in the dresser
drawer, and busters and all house
cloths should he as carefully washed

Iron Foundations.

A new way Of constructing solid

tried With success In Berlin. It was
necessary to dnd solid base sufficient

more than 10000 tons. The plot of

stand was adjoined on both sides by
high buildings, which rendered unsafe
the digging to any depth for a founda-
ton. The only way out Of the difficulty
was the sinking Of a caisson in the Gen.
