THE WAY TO IRON SHIRTS.


The Tug Of War 10 When the Bosom !,
Reached.
For ironing, fold the shirt straight
down the middle Of the back, and iron
the body mainly straight with the
warp. Next fold a sleeve fiat along
the sloped seam. and iron it upon both
sides. Iron first through the middle,
then take hold Of the wrist-band or
shoulder with the left hand and hold
taut till the iron goes quite to the
join. Open the wristband, lay it fiat
and iron hard upon the wrong side.
then turn upon the right side. Next
iron yoke and neckband Then comes
the tug of war-otherwise ironing the
bosom.
First fasten the neckband properly,
next slip the bosom board inside the
shirt and spread the bosom smooth
upon it. pressing it out simultaneously
with both hands. With n thin clean
cloth wet the whole linen surface light
ly with weak raw starch Rub it in
very well, and if any place feels sticky
wipe it off with cloth dipped in tepid
water. Have the iron hot enough to
yellow dry cloth if left to stand on it
ten seconds. Begin at the bottom of
the, bosom and iron straight toward the
neck, up the middle. holding the neck
band in the left hand. and pulling hard
against the iron. Here as much de.
perds on the left hand as the right-the
knack lies mainly in knowing how to
pull properly.
If the bosom wrinkles or forms one
OF the wraps knows to laundresses as
"catfaces," wet the place with clear
water, stretch it smooth. and iron over
again. Rub the iron over the white
wax, also in the salt tray to insure a
perfectly smooth surface. If the starch
is right-properly made and appled-it
will not stick to the face. But if vel
lowy crust forms upon the iron-tip
scratch it off with blunt knife and be
sure to wax and salt-polish the iron
again before settling it Oh the shirt.
When the whole bosom is smooth
and nearly dry, take one of the polish
ing irons, not quite so hot as the 9th
ers. rub the face Of it With either pol
ishing wax or white soap and press
the bosom hard all over. bearing hard
est upon the rounded iron point Iron
and polish cuffs on a flannel-covered
board. Wet them also with raw starch.
or more properly starch-water. press
first upon the wrong side with a very
hot iron, and turn upon the right side
only when nearly dry. = Washington

of mankind

from the many marks upon it. These
marks are what I would first draw
your attention to.
AT first there is impressed upon
your retina nothing but series Of
scratches. That is because you mere

But study little longer, and you
will discover that on the top steps
these scratches, which are indubita bly,
heel marks. extend all the way across.
On the steps below they extend nearly
the full width. On the third steps the
marks. which begin at the right hand
going down, reach to only about the
middle.
From there on, these apparently
meaningless but really significant,
scratches, gradually grow fewer with
each descending step, until at the bot

width on the step which a mans two
feet would take up. s.l
Can't you draw any possible deduc-

scratches recede?
We'll, you Will admit. won't you,
that a man scrapes his boot heel on a
step going down when he does, not
going up:
The conclusion 1 am arriving at is
this: The average man when he starts
down stairs shuffles all over from
side to side. AS he goes on he grad

he sees some one coming up. for whom
he must make way, or because his nat

are volcanic. Very seldom is a vol

The largest volcano in America is Po
| pocatapeti, in Mexico. It rises to {
height of 1868 Spanish feet above til,
sea level and the circumference Of the
crater is $4,000 feet. For many years
it was dormant, but in 1894 it spit q
little fire and created a great deal OF
fear. Since that time it has been
quiet. 1
In the United States the most i'm
| mense volcano Is Mt. Rainier, near
| Tacoma, Wash. 1t is more than 49, OOC
! feet high and is supposed to be extinct.
Volcanoes on the American continent
| and contiguous islands have never
caused any enormous sacrifice Of life
through eruptions since white men set
tied the country until the St. Pierre oc-
currence.
There are large number that have
always caused more or less uneasiness,
however. through their tendency to
break out. and not a few in Mexico,
Central and South America have
caused the deaths of considerable num-
bers of people.
On islands in the Pacific. China. ia
pan and many Asiatic and European
countries the loss from this cause has
reached an enormous aggregate.
The most violent disturbance ever
known to have resulted from an erup-
ton was that which destroyed Kroka-
toa, an island in the Straits of Sunda,
on August %, 1883.
1t was also the most disastrous in
the destruction Of life since Pompeii
was buried until st. Pierre was de-
stroyed.
The explosion buried the island and

the vessel high and dry thirty feet

An air wave was created by the ex.

While eruptions Of volcanoes always
cause the most dread the earthquakes
cause the greater loss of life and prop
erty by an overwhelming amount.
1t is estimated that the destruction
of human beings through this medium
is greater than any other agency but
disease.
From first to last during human oc-
cupancy Of this planet it has been fig
ured that 13.0OO 600 people have become
moribund as result of earthquake
disas sters.
On this continent they have been
most disastrous on the Pacific coast,
in Mexico and the countries south Of
1t.
Below is list of the greatest disaS-
tiers from this cause during Il period

Here is story which the late Con
gresham Amos J. Cummings was fond
Of telling: a member of Congress was
going home late one night when he met
a young uan who was satisfactorily
"loaded.' The Congressman hap,
pened to know where tn" young man
lived. and kindly guided him home.
The Congressman had no sooner pulled
the bell than the door WAS thrown wide
open and Il tail. husky woman ap-
peared. She never said Il word. but
grabbed the young man by the collar
ana shook him Till she fairly loosened
his teeth: then into the hall she took
him and slammed the door
The Congressman was descending the
steps when the door was thrown open
q second time. and his friend flew out
of it as if thrown by a catapult. At
the foot of The stairs he landed, and
the Congressman picked him up. Very
much frightened and considcra bly, So
bersd. the young man "aspad: I'VE
don't live herr--we moved last week."

Storm That Helped Science.
European scientific journals remark
that the great storm of red dust that
swept up from Africa over Europe last
March performed a service for which
men of science should be grateful, by
colorinG the glaciers of The Alps on a
grand scale, and thus producing
stratum in the vast ice streams the red
hue OF which will render it recogniz-
able TO. many years.
The importance o: this consists in
the iact that by noting !ne position of
the dUst-s,a!neh layer the movements
OF the glaciers can be studied more
accurately ,iian would be possible
without tbc aid Of so extensive and dis
tinct Il marking.
