Lake Turns Red.

One of the natural curiosities OF
Switzerland is Lake Morat, which
turns blood red every tenth year.
For centuries this freak was regard
ed by the Swiss with superstitious
dread, and not until scientists turned
their attention to the matter was the
belief in the supernatural partly re-
moved. Even now some of the more
ignorant persist in regarding the omen
as one of evil import.
The reddish color is given the wa
ter by minute plant closely related
to the red snow.
Every tenth year this plant begins
to propagate, and so quickly does 1t
grow that in short time the whole
lake is a crimson tide. The plant II
so minute as not to be perceptible
without the aid of Horoscope, and
there was some foundation for the
early belief that the lake had turned
into a sea of blood.

Uses Of the Flat Iron.

In making garments, and especially
dresses, theA fat iron must be used
from start to finish. In no other way
can a satisfactory result be obtained
in making a cloth, or other nice gown.
Every little seam must be opened and
pressed out. If you are pressing a skirt
land skirts need this attention not only
when new, but also during their entire
existence), place it right side down over
a skirt board, smoothing it very evenly
up on the board, and laying carefully
any pleatS or tucks. When the pleats
have to be basted into place, use very
fine thread, as coarse thread is apt
to leave its mark in the pressing. Now
place chair or stand under the skirt
board to support the rest of the skirt.
and this will prevent it from dragging
he>part to be pressed out of place. Let
the iron be a moderately heavy Cne
and, after laying clean wet cloth over
the part to be pressed, press lido not
from your garment; that is, do not rut
the iron up and down and cross wise
but, when changing it from place t.
place, lift it. Move the iron frequently
or it will leave thN impress Of its shap.
upon the cloth. Slender irons are re
quired when pressing waists. A sean
presser may be made of a piece {.
curtain pole, or broom stick. 1t should
be ten or twelve inches long, rolled
evenly in flannel and covered with mus
lin, and is a great convenience FOL
pressing sleeves.-Ladies Home jour

SpOnxing Cloth.

Cloth Tor Women's wear. should al
ways be shrunken before being made
up. This is done to shrink it and to
make 1t proof against rainspots. To
shrink cloth spread it out on a long
table, but do not open the folds of the
material. Cover it with pieces OF mus
lin made very wet with warm water:
then roll the cloth up, rolling the wet
muslin in with it. This will bring all
the cloth in contact with the wet mus
lin. Allow this to remain rolled I'D for
several hours, or better. way would
be to do this at night and leave rolled
up until morning, when it is to be
opened out and pressed on both sides
OF the fold until dry, remembering
that the right side of the cloth is al
ways inside the fold.-Ladies' Home

In many countries and even 50 near
