IRONING A SHIRT WALT.

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 1t. Hence these direc-
tions for ironing the waist: To iron
summer shirt waists so that they will
look like new II 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 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-
lutely clean. Begin by ironing the
back, then the front, sides and the
sleeves. followed by the neckband and
the cuffs. When wrinkles appear ap-
ply the damp cloth and remove them.
Always iron from the top OF the waist
to the bottom. II there are plaits in
the front iron them downward, after
first raising each one with a blunt
knife, and with the edge OF the iron
follow every line of stitching to give 1t
distinctness. After the shirt waist is
ironed It should be well aired by the
fire or in the sun before II is folded
and put away. says the Philadelphia
Inquirer.

MOSCOW A GREAT CITY.
Former Capita! Now Almost as Large
as st. Petershurn.

The Population Of Moscow shows n
remarkably rapid Increase. Within the
comparatively short period OF thirty
years the number of Inhabitants has
just about doubled. At the time OF the
French Invasion In 1872 the urban Mos
covites numbered about 100000. al
though the official figures were 252,-
600. In 1871 the official census gave
the population as G0s.OO0: In 1882 II
was '6swo, and according to the
reckoning now completed the historic
city contains 1,l13.5Oo Inhabitants.
thus taking the tenth place among the
most populous cities OF the world.
MOSCOW covers an area of iO1 square
kiloneters, or only two kilomcters less
than hat OF st. Petersburg. .Arcn is
rot, however. by any means a general
criterion, In questions OF population. as
appear from the fact that whereas
London with the largest population OF
any cifS In the world, covers 303
squark kilomeiers. New York, with
n population numbering more than a
million less than that of the British
nietropolis, has total area of 79j
square bilometers. The population of
Moscow is less dense than those OF st.
Petersburg. Glasgow, London. Berlin.

THEPOWER OF TRADITION

The well know naturalist, Ernest Sc
ton-Thompson, recently found himself
in a scrape which illustrates the densi-
ty of some peoples minds and the
puissance of well-established conven-
tion. Mr.. Seton-Thompson went into
Tue wu,ls of Colorado to hunt bears,
not with rifle or trap, bnt with a
camera. He encountered there game
warden who arrested him on the charge
of violating the game laws and hauled
him to the nearest town, where the ju-
ry, on hearing that the prisoner and
his party had no guns and were bent
on the purely artistic captures Of bird
and beast, quickly decided that they
were not guilty. 1t turned out that
the intelligent warden had taken Mr..
Seton -Thompson's camera for bear
trap.
This is about equal to the prosecu-
tion of temperance house for selling
liquor without license, but two
things have come of it; a game war
den has discovered that naturalist
can hunt without gun, and the pub
lie has been informed that there are,
in Colorado at least, laws to protect
the game from the reckless defamation
of irresponsible hunters. Both facts
are most gratifying.
1t is rather significant, when one
comes to think of it, that civilized
man should be so addicted to carrying
firearms when he goes into the woods
that it should be considered something
remarkable for him to be travelling
there without them. 1t reminds one
of the IIindoo Mozoomdars' little sar-
casm about the contrast between the
Englishman and the Oriental. The
latter finds himself in great forest
and admires its beauty; the former
exclaims, LET us go and kill some
thing" !" Yet the delights of hunting
are nothing compared with the keen
pleasure of the naturalist who walks,
rides and lives in the midst of wild ma
ture, not as its enemy, but as the guest
and friend of the forest-dwellers.
"Yes, it took my wife and me and
my mother and my wife's mother and
two sisters and an old aunt of mine
and half dozen Of our cousins to pull
our first baby through till it was two
years old"
And did the little one become
stronger 10y that time?'

BOSTON'S MOST BEAUTIFUL
GIRL.

"The pictures of Emily Marshall
that have been preserved writes Will
liam Perrine of "The Loveliest
Woman in All America" in the No.
vcmber Ladies' Home journal, 'do
not realize the beauty as it appeared
to those who knew her. She was
about 5 feet 5 inches in height her
figure was luxuriantly delicate; her
hair was ola chestnut-brown hue, and
her luminous eyes were said by some
to be hazel in color, by others black.
Her cheeks were rosy and dimpled !;
her mouth displayed teeth of perfect
whiteness her hair was worn curled
behind the ears and held by side combs,
and her features were brilliant with
expression when gay or laughing
thought came over her. At one time
when she appeared at fancy ball in
the character of Sweet Anne Page,
of the Merry Wives of Wind
sor,' and danced with Thomas
/ Willing, Of Philadelphia, they were
thought to he the handsomest pair
that had ever graced such an event.

the willingness to exchange her fine
intellect and her accomplishments for
the beauty and attractiveness of Emil

fore us rcversion to the faultless
type of structure which artists have
imagined in the past and to that ideal
loveness of disposition which poets have
have fancied in the golden age, was the
verdict of Boston gallant, one of the
fair beauty's neighbors, recorded in af-
ter life. " hen his Judgment was unpre-
JUDGED. Such was the homage which
the people of Boston would sometimes
bestow upon Miss Marshall that one
night when Daniel Webster, then be-
ginning his career in the United States
Senate, visited the Federal Street The
atrc the applause which the audience
showered upon him was not greater
than the cheers with which it well
coined the divine Emily. In New
York she caused such a sensation that
one morning 10 gentlemen at one time
were seen in her escort, and 60 left
their cards for her. When she went
to such summer resorts as Saratoga
the crowds at the hotel would form
lane through which she might pass
as they waited to view her going to
and from her coach, and it is Phila-
delphia tradition that when she visited
that city one of the schools was closed
earlier than the usual hour to give the
young ladies chance to see the ia
nous belle. Indeed, women looked
upon her with an admiration which
they seldom accord to beauties"

A Deep-sea Divers Story,

The master diver was turning over
some of his old helmets. Long and
coIrupting acquaintance with salt
water had left the tinned-over copper
bull a rusty, "rcenish gray.
why don't keep them polished
ul? he said. "Bccause they'r re great

you never get any peace till it's coated

OF scabcasts life must be one long
struggle between a natural wariness
and a more than natural curiosity.
They've all been brought up to give a
wide ofiing to things they don't under

want to see and keep up with every
thing that's new. And when it's
something that's got a glitter or polish
to it, all that their parents and guard
ians have taught them from the be-
ginning of time isn't going to hold

"And no one has such opportunities

when you're being lowered, there's
nothing but flicker of tails disappear

while, and very soon if you're wearing
a new headpiece, you begin to make
out big pairs of google eyes staring at
you from the under-sca twilight, and
they gradually move in closer and

they'll be making little darts at your
fingers and swishing their tails across

KEEP THE BALANCE UP.

1t has been truthfully said that any
disturbance of the even balance of
health causes serious trouble. No
body can be too careful to keep this
balance up. When people begin to
lose appetite, or to get tired easily, the
least imprudence brings on sickness,
weakness, or debility. The system
needs tonic, Graves it, and should not
be denied it; and the best tonic of
which we have any knowledge is
Hoods Sarsaparilla. What this medi-
cine has done in keeping healthy peo-
pie healthy, in keeping up the even
balance of health, gives it the same
distinction as preventive that it en-
joys as cure. Its early use has Illus
trated the wisdom of the old saying
that stitch in time saves nine. Take
Hoods for appetite, strength, and en-
durance.
In describing his early struggles to
establish practice the doctor had just
said:
81 used to sit in my office day after
day waiting for patients. In fact, 1
used to sit like Patience on a monu-
ment.'
"And now," remarked his associate,
IL suppose you are accustomed to have

some difference between Cactus Cal

Buck Haas-"They' consid' able diff

Tenderfoot-"Y es, but what was the
original difference between them that
led up to the killing?"
Buck Haas-"Ike was quicker on
the trigger, that's ALL"
