HISTORY OF STARCH.
introduced Into England in the Time
of Queen Elizabeth,


of Queen Elizabeth.
From the Philadelphia Record.
Starch originated in Flanders. It was
introduced into England, with the big ruff.
In the time OF Queen Elizabeth. 1t was
like our starch Of today, except that it
was made in colors-red, yellow, green. blue.
The effect Of this was to tint delicateiy the
white linen to which the starch might be
applied. Before Queen Elizabeth's time
ruffies and rufus were made Of fine Holland,
which required no stiffening. Then the rufus
Of cambria came. and these must of neces-
sity be starched.
When the queen had ruffs made Of lawn
and cambria for her own princely wearing
there was no one in England that could tell
how to starch them: but the queen made
srecial means for some women that could
starch. and Mrs. Gullham, wife of the
royal coachman. was the first starcher
In 1854 a Flanders woman, Frau Wander
Plasse, came to London and established
there school for the teaching of starch
Ing. The school succeeded. The Flanders
frau got rich. She charged $25 lesson,
and an extra IS for recipe for the making
OF starch out Of wheat -four, bran and roots.
Yellow was the most fashionable color in
starch among the nobility. The fast, racing
set went IN for green. The -Puritans used
blue starch, though at first they had been
against the stuff altogether, clubbing 1t "A
certains kinde Of liquide matter which
they call starch, wherein the devil hath
willed them to wash and dive their ruffes,
which, when they be dry, will then stand
stiffe and infiexible about their necks !"
Starch is made from wheat, corn and DO
tatoes, and starving men have often sub
sisted on 1t. finding 1t nourishing, though
not tasty,

This being the season for generating the

'One OF the rarest known relics Of the

ing in Wayne county, Ill. It IL nothing Less
than an old pair OF badly worn oyeralls
once used by the first President in his engi-
neering work. 1t Is even said that these
same overalls were worn by Washington at
Mount Vernon at the time he caught the
severe cold that ended in his death. They
are an heirloom and came down through
generations of relatives OF the family Of the
immortal George. They are made short to
the knee. In the style OF brooches that were
in vogue in those days. and one striking Pc

The speaker told several amusing incl
dents and then spoke Of the work of the
present session of Congress.
There has always been a tremendous
FEAR evidenced throughout the country in
regard to the trust question:" he said
1t Is safe to say that when Congress met
every representative and every senator had
some fear in regard to this question of
monopoly. There is no doubt that at the
beginning Of the session there was great
unrest throughout the country with refer
ence to the vast combinations of commerce
me Presldent. although criticised went
out on the stump and talked to the people.
and he said he recognized that the great
question seemed to be what shall be dome
with the trustsT There seems to be SEN
hment that their power should be curbed
and that 1t must be done in such a manner
as not to interrupt the wonderful prosper
fty OF the country.
Legislation and Publicity.
HE suggested legislation on the subject
and publicity as remedy. He thought
that possibly a constitutional amendment
might be necessary In order to give to Con-
gress full authority in the premises. Con-
gress has taken up the question in spirit
OF conservatism and the members now feel
that very much has been accomplished dur
Ing the present session. The Supreme
Court only few days ago decided In effect
that Congress already had supreme power
In this matter and could regulate trusts as
1t might please.
I'm Congress-" he continued, I'VE have
tried to solve the question, how to prevent
the large corporations from getting grin
on affairs SO that they can wipe out smaller
concerns and obtain monopoly. and still
preserve the remarkable progress and indus
tries OF the nation. Instead Of attempting
to pass laws which the best lawyers say
are unconstitutional and cannot be en-
forced; instead of indorsing notices and
adopting them into laws we have tried to
hit upon practical solution and we think
Congress has done well In the action taken.
Congress decided that the Department of
Justice shall be strengthened to enforce
the laws already In existence, and a large
appropriation has been made for that pur-
pose. We decided to strike at the root of
the trust evil by first removing the rebates
OF the railroads. and We passed law to
prohibit such practices
Now. as to publicity. Publicity is all

The school children Of Lynn. Massa- chusetts, are going to do some nature study this year. have some fun. and incidentally make a little money. The Ihrown-tail moth troubles Massachu- setts, and the Lynn Board of Trade is going to get the children to trouble the moth. It has agreed to award to any class of boys and girls who will pursue the moth the following sums: For every. 1.50o nests up to 7.5OO, s1; for every 1.259 nests thereafter up to 12.5OO. s1; for every 1000 nests thereafter up to 16,500, S1; for every 75O nests thereafter up to 1s,5Oo. s1; for every 800 nests thereafter up to. 25.OOo, s1. The janitors of the schools are to destroy the nests. Any class that wins the full prize will make s2s.
 The brown-tail moth will do well to move out of Lynn if it wants to persist. When the Lynn school-children get af- ter it they will ravage it even as it has ravaged Massachusetts trees and things.
