IRONING \ shirt WAIST.

Not tnfreGuently a young woma q
dnds 1t necessary to launder a shirt
waist at home for some emergency
when the lauudryman OF the home ser
want cannot do 1t. Hence these direc-
lions for ironing the waist: To iron
summer shirt waists 50 that they will
look like new it 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 q
clean piece OF muslin beside the iron
ing board. Have your iron hot, but
not sufficiently SO to scorch. and abso-
futeiy 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. If 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 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.

How st. Louisan Planned to Reseue tAs
Depos~d Empe-or.

How St Louisan Planned to Rescue the
Depos~d Emperor.
Was an attempt ever made to spirit
Napoleon away from his heartrending
Imprisonment on the island OF st.
Helena? What was there in the dim
story which comes out OF the romance
Of the Louisiana domain a century
after it passed into the possession Of
the United States that Monsieur Girod,
q wealthy planter of New Orleans in
trigued to rescue the incarcerated
emperor?
These are the strange questions
prompted by the story told by Mrs.
Carrie jenkins Harris. Mrs. Harris
says that she discovered the basis for
the belief that an expedition to rescue
Napoleon was fitted out on the coast
OF Louisiana, near New Orleans, and
was only abandoned when the news of
the dethroned monarch's death found
Its way to the vast Louisiana territory,
which he had ceded to the United
States nine years before.
From manuscript in the Congress
sional Library at Washington Mrs.
Harris says she discovered indisput-
able evidence that Monsieur Girod,
rich planter at New Orleans, whose
loyalty to the deposed emperor of the
French amounted to a passionate de-
votion, built a mansion on the old st.
Louis street in that city, fitted it up
elegantly and kept it ready for the oc-
cupancy of distinguished guest. To
his most intimate friends it is said
that he impaired the secret that a
king was to dwell there.
fhn
menced this house he bought stanch
ship, enlisted a number of soldiers and
sailors and drilled them to scale rocky
battlements The object of the expedi-
ton was a secret one, but curious
tales were related of it after the need
for its mission had faded away.
Everything was made ready for the
sudden and swift sailing of the frigate,
which had been manned with guns and
other warlike equipment Three days
before the date set for the vessel to
put to sea news of Napoleon's death
was received in New Orleans. The ex-
petition was, of course, forthwith
abandoned, and a chronic melancholy
took possession Of his energetic and
devoted champion in Louisiana.
Did the deposed emperor know of
this effort to free him and bring him
to this foremost city of the great do
main his hand had signed away to the
Western Republic? is the question she
asks. She concludes that it is reason
able to suppose that he was informed
OF this expedition and was prepared to
cooperate with his American friends.
He was a comparatively young man
when he died. and it is suggested that
if his life had been spared and he had
landed in the Crescent City he might
have made as many changes on the
map Of the Western Hemisphere as
he did on that of Europe. The French
Canadians. especially III Montreal,
Quebec and Nova Scotia would have
rallied to his standard. Thousands of
French citizens of the young Repub-
lice would have done the same. 1t is,
according to Mrs. Harris thinking,
one of the what might have been

A good deal of misplaced sympathy
is being wasted upon England in the
belief, or, perhaps, hope, that the Boer
war has brought the nation to finan-
cial ruin. Much more reasonable is
the attitude of one of the leading Ger
man newspapers which congratulated
Great Britain the other day upon
the ease with which she is carrying on
the South African war, with an ex-
penditure that has already reached
$500,00G,000. 1t said this war would
have ruined Germany or any other
European nation, and the German ed
itor was right. The British people
would have made short work Of less
intractable enemy than the Beers, but
what other European country could
have manned and paid such armies
and whose efforts would have been
made on rising scale all the time
in spite of disbursement? John Bull
has always been a staying fighter. and
that he will continue fighting until,
in Lord Miners phrase, the Boer
country is burned out, there is hardly
any doubt.

mist, says the Louisville Courier-Jour-
nal, touched upon Great Britains fl
nance in his annual publication recent
ly issued in Paris, and warned the
world that it was not likely to go to
the second place or stay there. Ger
many was a country that thought it
could supplant England in the mar
kets of the world couple or so of
years ago, but though Germany has
no war she is in far worse industrial
and financial condition that the tight
