Starchipo.

Even the good laundress sometimes has
trouble in making her collars and cuffs
exactly right. 1t is. indeed, fine art to
starch well. and it needs much expert
ence. Potato starch is said to be the
finest of all starches. and to make the
very best finish on shirt fronts and col
lars. while for those who like glazed linen
a little turpentne added to the starch will
make a gloss to vie with the mirror
Starching is an art brought from Hol-
land by the wife of good Queen Bess'
cCachman, and it has lost rather than
gained during the century or so that it
has been in use among English-speaking
races.

ANOTHER JEAN NAiJEAN.


Nashville, Tenn, Feb -5.-FJack
lsham-Received at prison, 1888;
escaped, 1892; returned TO prison
1909"
This is the record of man who
took the life OF q fellow man, was
imprisoned and escaped. and after
an absence of seventeen years, like
Jean Vatican. was taken from home
and position and returned to prison,
where the arm of the law will mete
out to him the punishment from
which he fled.
lsham was apprehended III VIII
hanson County, Illinois, where he
had accumulated property, had built
a home. and was preparing to spend
his declining years In peace. Had 1t
not been for the treachery of his
son-in-law his dream might have
been realized,
Isham was born In East Tennessee
and though in the northwest for
nearly twenty years, still bears the
earmarks of that sturdy stock. Along
about 1876 he was sentenced 10 UNI
dcrgo a term of three years IN the
state penitentiary for voluntary
manslaughter. He made good pris-
oner, however. and sufficient lnflu-
ence was brought to bear aud IN
1873 GOV, James D. Porter granted
him n pardon,
He returned to his old home in
Roane county He married and Tor
10 years led the life OF good citi-
zen But he again turned from we
right and killed his neighbor, New
man. His story is that Newman
was attempting to entice his Ia
year-old niece from him for unlaw-
ful purposes. A warrant for New
mans arrest was sworn out ana
lsham says he was deputized to make
the arrest. Whether there was any
resistance or whether Isham was IN
famed with hate Is not known, but
Newman was Killed and lsham was
sentenced to the nenltentiary for a
term OF fifteen years.
He arrived nj prison the second
time about 1888, ana some time
later was removed TO the mines,
which were being operated by the
state ut Big Mountain, He made a
good prisoner, and worked hard.
But when the mining troubles occur
red there In 1892, when 80 many
convicts were liberated, lsham could
not resist the temptation. He made
his escape, and that was the last the
Tennessee officials ever saw OF him

A HUMAN GIBRALTAR.
The Story That Is Told Of the Enoish
Colonel Hurnahy.

Io|onei nuFNauy
In the biography Of Colonel Fred
Burnaby there Is characteristic
story, told by his friend Lord Binning,
Of that soldier Of herculean frame and
reckless courage.
We were engaged IN a football
match on the green inside Windsor
cavalry barracks, and the verandas
were crowded with onlookers as the
colonel. dressed for London in frock
coat and tall hat with n cigar IN his
mouth. came out OF the officers quar-
tcrs and proceeded slowly across a
corner OF the ground, apparently OBJ
livious Of the fact that Il match was In
progress Mt the time At this moment
our fullback, a gigantic Yorkshlreman
named Bates. who must have weighed
nearer fifteen than fourteen stone
charging impetuously for the ball
dashed full into Burnaby, The impact
was terrific but while the Yorkshire
man, hurled backward by the shock as
though he had collided with II noun
tain, lay gasping OH the ground, neither
DuIhhby NM hoi wv VI hfH
cigar was In the smallest degree dis
turbed In fact. he scarcely seemed
to realize that collision had taken
place. When he did SO he removed his
cigar from his mouth and. with his
pleasant smile, said, Dear me, ! do
hope am not interfering with tho
game" The shout OF delight which
went UP from the vcrandas was n
thing to remember
