IRONING A SHIRT WAIST.

Not infrequently a young woman
finds it necessary to launder shirt
waist at home for some emergency
when the laundryman or the home SER
want cannot do it. Hence these direc-
tons for ironing the waist: To iron
summer shirt waists so that they will
look like new 1t is needful to have
them starched evenly with Defiance
starch. then made perfectly smooth
and rolled tight In damp cloth, to be
laid away two or three hours. When
ironing have a bowl of water and a
clean piece of muslin beside the iron
ing board. Have your iron hot. but
not sufficiently SO to scorch. and abso-
luteiy clean. Begin by ironing the
back, then the front, sides and the
sleeves. followed by the neckband and
the cuffs. When wrinkles appear APP
ply the damp cloth and remove them.
Always iron from the top of the waist
to the bottom. If there are plaits in
the front iron them downward, after.
first raising each one with blunt
knife, and with the edge of the iron
follow every line of, stitching to give it
distinctness After the shirt waist is
ironed it should be well aired by the
fire or in the sun before it is folded
and put away, says the Philadelphia
Inquirer.

the reports, TO bring over lot OF Ger
man gardeners to cultivate the land
for him. Then he will ship to London
what they raise and distribute 1t
among his various branches through
out England. This enterprise, starts in
the right way. There is demand for
certain commodities. A successful
business man looks, about the world
for the place where they can be pro-
duced the most economically, all
things considered, and then plans to
buy land there and send workers out
to till it. OF course the condition Of
the German gardeners will be improv-

land more cheaply than in Germany
and they will have market for all
they can raise. But the relation OF the
enterprise to the social or economic

In 1910 we find the following Bow
bnkeresses accused Of selling halfpcn-
ny loaves deficient in weight: Sara
Foting, Christina Tcrricc, Godiycva
Foting, Matilda de Bollngtonc, Chris
tina Irichct. Isabella Spcrling, Alice
Pegges, Johanna de Countcbrlggc and
Isabella Pouvcstc. One wonders why
the husbands were not summoned. In
n similar case in 1916, when Agnes
Foting's bread was seized, It was "ad-
judged that her bread should be for
feited and given to the prisoners in
Neugate because her husband did not
come to avow (Own) the bread" Are
we to assume that in the absence Of the
husbands the bread was merely for
feited without the infiction Of a fine?

A French physician lately had an op.
p~ortunity to observe a pointe de Paris
which had been lying for several days
in the stomach Of n child and found
that the gastric juice had acted upon
the smallest particles of the article,
bunting the blade and point and Civ
ing the medal a brown color. In this
manner might be explained the process
used in Italy to produce old coins and
medals. Large birds are made to swal-
low roughly stamped coins with the
Image of Tiberius or Caligula. After
awhile the animals give off again the
coins, upon which meanwhile an ap-
probable layer Of patina has formed.
This result Is apparently due to the ac-
ton of the gastric juices.-Jeweler's
