Proper Way to Iron Fine Linen.

a..
The doing up of fine underlinen is
far more important in these days than
ironing shirt, and a good living
awaits the woman who cares to learn
this art and practice it in the cities.
When these articles are washed anu
dried, the rufI1es and trimming should
be dipped into weak starch, and rolled
down tightly, keeping all starched and
fine portions inside. Iron i'll about an
hour. First Of all, iron the sleeves,
then the rufles at the bottom, then the
back, and finally all the ruffies and
trimming and the front.
With skirts, the ruff1es first, and
then the body part. Any crimping or
fluting must be done last of all, after
slightly damping the rifles over again.
When ironing circular ruffies always
iron with the thread" of the goods
and the ruffles will not sag. For white
skirts and for dresses a skirt board
is a necessity; it should be about ID
inches wide at the bottom and narro"
down toward the tip to about nine
inches, and should be about five or five
and one-half feet in length. 1t is much
better to purchase the folding skirt
boards, being less expensive that har-
ing a carpenter make one. Cover with

Judgment in the case Of the United

extradition and ordering them back to
Jail to await surrender to United States

half. Summing up, he said:
"My conclusion is that the allegation
of the conspiracy to defraud the United
States as being in existence between
Carter and the accused on or about
July 1st, 1897, is proven to the hilt.
Second, that Carter was guilty in
the United States and convicted of en-
bezzlement, which offence is known

the difference in the name OF the Of

auently, determine that the accused

Trees stranoe Crop.

There is a curious sight in the fork
Of an umbrella tree on Washington
street, between Fourth al Fifth ave-
nues. 1t is a fine growth of wheat
almost ready to come out into head.
The stocks are nearly two feet long
and the blades broad and healthy
looking. It was at first thought that
this growth consisted of shoots from
the tree, but on closer examination it
was found to be wheat. It has no
foundation of earth, or if there is any
it is so hidden by the growth as to be
invisible. The wheat grains In some
way found lodgment in the crevices
of the bark and have probably had no
other earthly bed than that formed
by dust which during the dust storms
oil the summer was blown there.-Ari-

their sentiments as to the effect OF pro-
posed railway rate legislation on the
1900, 900 railroad employees, whom they
in part represented. These resolutions
endorse the attitude OF President
Roosevelt in condemning secret rebates
and other illegalities, aud commend the
attitude of the heads OF American rail-
ways, who, with practical unaliimlty,
have Joined with the President OH this
question:" They then respectfully
point out to Congress tie "inadvisabil-
ity of legislation yesting in tie halds
of commission power over railway
rates, now lower by far in the United
States than In any other country" be-
cause such regulation would result IN
litigation and confusion aud inevitably
tend to an enforced reduction in rates,
irrespective Of the question of the abll-
ity Of the railroads to stand the redllc-
ton, especially in view Of tie increased
cost Of their supplies and materials"
They further protested against such
power being given to the present Inter-
state Commission because "the pro-
posed legislation is not in harmony

would secure and insure justice aud
