The laundering OF embroidered linens
requires almost as much skill as does
the manufacture Of the dainty fabrics.
Carelessness in this respect may In a
few minutes ruin weeks of work. An
embroidered piece should never be put
in with the regular wash. In fairly hot
water and a light suds Of some pure
soap dip the solleS piece quickly sew
eral times. II It - necessary with any
one spot, rub 1t gently between the
hands, but avoid general rubbing, as
this is apt to disarrange the smooth
surface OF the most evenly set stitches.
Rinse thoroughly in cold, clean water.
To dry, lay it between two towels or
thick line cloths and roll loosely in such
a way that no part Of the embroidery
shall touch any other part Of the piece.
Never fold or hang up wet piece of
embroidery nor leave it In little damp
heap lust for a minute" while some
thing else is attended to. But rolled
between dry towels. ii can be wrung,
twisted or lightly pounded to hasten
the drying process, without danger
When quite dry It may be removed
from the towels and. for ironing. laid
face down on thiclly covered ironing
board. This gives soft surface for
the relief Of the embroidered design to
give into. Otherwise these surfaces
would be fiattened and the chief beau
ty Of the piece ruined. Spread a clean
white cloth. moistened in clean un-
soaped water over the reverse side Of
the linen and pass the iron quickly
and lightly over the whole surface, be-
ing careful not to press too heavily on
the embroidery itself. Damp linen,
dry silks, hot iron and quick action
are the chief elements Of success in
the smoothing Of embroideries. New

Two hundred persons, waiting for
a train intently watched an old man
driving six-inch spikes with an iron
maui Now, there is nothing unusual
or extraordinary about driving spikes
with d maui. even though the head of
a spike is only three-eighths of an
inch square and that Of a maui only
three-quarters. But there was fas-
cination in this old mans work. His
genius for driving spikes was manifest.
He never missed blow. He never
needed more than three blows to send
the spike home, with its head buried
in the planking. He always gave
three. There was a rhythmic har-
mony in his task that appealed to all.
In his particular line he excelled. That
is the genius of labor.-New York

Paris, Nov. 2-There can be no doubt
that distress-in many places amounting

west of Ireland. By the end of January
hundreds Of people will be dying of
starvation, if speedy measures are not
taken for their relief. Already thou
sands are existing on one meal a day,
consisting Of plate of Indian meal,
st1rabout or tea, often without milk, and
dry bread.
The Irish papers have columns every
day describing the painful condition Of
the people. and the English papers cor
roborate them fully. The London pa
! pers admit that the Irish potato crop
IS between 80 and 90 per cent below the
average.
Yet the English government does
and urban councils, clergymen. repre-.
sentative men from the different coun-
ties, have all appealed in vain to the
foreign government that rules our coun-
try:
The crop last year was a dismal fall
ure, showing still greater evidence Of
disease and decay. Again the vital me-
cesslty OF providing fresh seed was put
up before the local government board,
with the same result.
England will not be insensible, I
think, to the opinion of the American
press and the American people. It is
with this hope that I write now to tell
thru your great newspapers how things
are in our country.
Will the American press try to shame
England into doing her duty?
