To Iron IIare.

One of the points to remember
when ironing lace Is to iron II well
to the width so that the whole de-
sign Of the lace will show clear and
distinct and look as like the new
material as possible. To do this
the lace must be carefully pulled to
the width and then placed on the table
wrong side up and ironed along the
straight edge, so that the toe of the
iron may press the lace to the width
and also keep the selvedge straight.
Again place the lace fiat on the table
and iron across the width pressing
the toe of the iron into each point
until It is quite dry. If the lace has
a raised pattern, a thick piece Of
felt or three folds of ordinary blank
ct may be slipped under the ironing
sheet and the lace ironed over it.
This will raise the work consider
ably. Very fine lace should be ironei
through muslin and never touched
with the bare metal.

CLAY PIPE FOR MAIDSTONE.
It VIII DO the Work Just ms Well,
Says Physician.

Physicians are often asked whether
are called madstones. One of them
declares they would be of more value
II their limitations were understood.
There is no particular variety Of
stone or substance which may be
designated exclusively as the mad
stone," he says. "I have seen many
of them. so called. and no two

geologically considered.
"Madstones act on the same prin-
ciple that blotting paper does when
absorbing Ink, and there is nothing
that makes better one than baked
pipeclay. A new clay pipe, procur-
able for one cent at nearly any store
where tobacco is sold, cannot be ex-
celled by any maidstone, no matter
how great its reputation. The ac-
ton can be clearly demonstrated by
placing a common dry red brick In
contact with the margin of a puddle
of water and noticing what capillary
attraction will accomplish.
Therefore, to be efficient, the
only necessity is for the stone to be
porus and have strong adhesive
and absorbent qualities. Nothing
mysterious about 1t.
II have seen several that appear
to be concretions. either vesical,
renal or hillary, and were found in
the bladder, kidney or liver of some
animal--those taken from the deer,
supposed to be the best.
when a person Is bitten by rep
tile or dog supposed to be mad and

the blotting paper action begins and
the blood, saliva from the mouth of
the animal and whatever poison
these fluids contain will naturally, by
capillary attraction, be absorbed by
and into the substance applied, no
matter what name you may give Il.
The saying that II stone sticks
the wound is poisonous and If 1t
does not take hold there is no venom
present is untrue. If the stone Is
clean and dry is will adhere when
moisture is within reach until 1t be
comes saturated.
For instance, new red brick
will absorb one pint of water. After
the venom has been taken into the
circulation the maidstone is worth
less, but, as the victim is usually
filed with whiskey or alcohol at the
same time the stone is being used,
the spirits may counteract the effect
of the poison.
Il know of a stone which has a
wide reputation and makes a good
living for the family owning It,
They never let It go out of their
sight and, when the victim cannot
be taken to the stone, one member
Of the family can be hired to take the
stone to the victim. In addition
to travelling expenses they charge s5
each hour that the stone sticks.
This stone is busy large part
OF the time. Not long since, the
stone held to a mans leg for owe,
100 hours, yet the man died His
life could have been saved II de-
pendence had not been placed en-
tirely in the stone"

THE WAY TO WASH A PLUME.
A Seemingly Hazardous Undertaking
is tho Following.

White plumes which have doae
duty on old hats should undergo n
certain amount of renovation. One
of the best methods Of cleaning them
is to place them first of all In BASIN
full of soapsuds made with cold water
instead Of hot, and In which they
should then be removed, plunged In
to boiling water and allowed to re-
main in It for at least quarter of
an hour Each feather should then
be taken out spread on cloth and
every particle of dirt which may still
cling to the fronds removed by rub
bing these with soft piece of silk
dipped I'm soapsuds. They must then
be rinsed in several changes of hot
water and finally lain on towel ac-
ross the knee, the fronds being then
dabbed gently with a towel made
into ball, the object being to re-
gain the curved shape Of the feather
before It is returned to the hat.
When almost dry the feathers
should be well shaken until they ap-
pear perfectly soft and fluffy. when
they should be Immediately inclosed
In tissue paper and placed in a cool
oven or on the plate-rack of the
stove, so as to complete drying oper-
ations.
To curl the efathers no tool Is
more effective than an ivory paper
knife. Each frond should be picked
up separately, and with sharp but
gentle turn of the wrist given the
requisite curl, this being continued
until the plume has regainod its orig
ginal appearance.

Beware of Cuban Land Schemes

CMrs. C. r. Miller in LesIie's Weekly)
Camaguey is the home of the
iand-speculator, and the scheme is
of American origin and promotion.
Land has been freely purchased in
Cuba, especially i'll the interior Of
the island, and in many instances
care has not been taken to secure
good titles. In fact, owing to the
unsettled condition of that country
for many years, with imperfect re-
cords and uncertain marriage rela-
tions, it is difficult to determine
where the title is vested or who has
the right to make valid convey
ance. But such conditions do not
deter the land operator, who will
run chances of the title being ac-
cepted through ignorance or con-
hdence. or who, when confronted
with flaws, will have in existence
guaranty company to insure the
title, the solvency of which may be
more doubtful than the title in
volved. OF marvellous fertility is
this land, if one chooses to rely
upon the eXtravagant statements
made by the promoters. In this
way not only are sales made, but
also more capital for further eX-
ploitation is solicited. But when
the scheme is analyzed it is dis
covered that the main idea is that
the company, when formed, is to be
managed by the promoter at a good
salary. 1t will further be discover
cd upon investigation that it will
be many years before the land could
possibly produce what the promo
ters claim could be produced in
year or two. But the principal
harm Of these land schemes lies in
the fact that SO much OF the soil
under their control is where the
palmetto lives, and wherever that
scrub5y bush shows itself it is
sure sign of shallow soil, and with
out large outlay of money very
little can be produced from it.
