IRONING A SHIRT WAIST.
Not infrequently a young woman
finds it necessary to launder a shirt
waist at home for some emergency
when the laundryman or the home ser
vant cannot do It. Hence these direc
tions for ironing the waist: To iron
summer shirt waists so that they will
look like new it is needful to have
them starched evenly with Defiance
starch, then made perfectly smooth
and rolled tight in a damp cloth, to be
laid away two or three hours. When
ironing have a bowl of water and a
clean piece of muslin beside the iron
ing board. Have your iron hot, but
not sufficiently so to scorch, and abso
lutely clean. Begin by ironing the
back, then the front, sides and the
sleeves, followed by tho neckband and
the cuffs. When wrinkles appear ap
ply the damp cloth and remove them.
Always iron from the top of the waist
to the bottom. If there are plaits in
the front Iron them downward, after
first raising each one with a blunt
knife, and with the edge of the iron
follow every line of stitching to give it
distinctness. After the shirt waist is
Ironed it should be well aired by the
fire or in the sun before it Is folded
and put away, says the Philadelphia
Inquirer.
Same Old Voice.
“No man can disguise his voice in
talking through a telephone," said an
exchange operator to an interviewer
recently. “Every person has some lit
tle peculiarity of speech that, no mut
ter how infinitesimal It may be, is
sure to be actuated and made more
recognizable over the wire. The man
who nas a sharp ring in his voice
will seem to speak more sharply; a
gruff voice will be made more gruff
and by the same rule an insincere
voice is given a greater tone of insin
cerity. The speaker who chews his
words has no chance at all with a
good, lively ’phone. He may only con
tort his speech very slightly, but the
•phone will do the rest, and at the
other end of the wire his remarks will
be about as intelligible as pied type.”

In the course of his address to the
students at the opening exercises of
the Baltimore Woman’s college last
week, President Goucher said: "A
womanish man is a farce; a mannish
woman is a tragedy. The enlargement
of opportunity obtained through edu
cation secured in such institutions as
this is attended by enlargement of re
sponsibility from which you cannot
escape. Your highest ideal should be
a womanly woman.”

Shirt Halit Women.
The shirt waist proved a great in
vention. Nearly every woman wears
one. The only inconvenience about the
shirt waist is the trouble In ironing
caused by starches that produce that,
hard, nerve racking effect. Defiance
starch contains a chemical Ingredient
that does away with the trouble. Ask
your grocer for it. Slxteen-oz package

TARANTULA S BIG JUMP.
, f!#rr« Haiti* Wa**d by lln(> 8p»^'
Acaluit a Dog
"There are strange bights to be.seem
m Porto Rico," sa‘d a young civil en
gineer whose swarthy skin was speak
ing evidence of the year he had spent
in Uncle Sam’s newest possession
'Tarantulas are one of them,’’ he con
;lnued, "and you should see a taran
:ula Jump! One of them went through
a marvelous peiformance, with myself
and a dog for spectators. The dog’s
barking awoke me early one morning
and I slipped Into my shoes and ran
out. Spot—that's the dog's name—was
making frantic plunges at an enormous
tarantula, as big as my palm, and Its
legs covering as much ground as a
soup plate. Its wicked black eyes
made me creep. All of a sudden the
thing shrank up like a sponge, and
Jumped for the deg; I give you my
word It jumped flfte n feet If it was
an Inch. Twice the dug ran under
the spider's jump—fact. Others were
watching by this time, and they nil
saw it. Usually, though, he just side
stepped a bit. I broke up little pieces
af a branch of a tree and hurled them
at the tarantula. My aim was just
good enough to stir him up; at first he
kept Jumping away from ns, but Spot
always herded him back again; then
he jumped straight for us. At last a
lucky shot keo’ed him over, and a few
strokes with a convenient club finished
him. Drink'ng water would have been
* puzzle to us had it not been for the
eoeoanuts. When near the coast we
gathered these ourselves or sent
'peons’ after them, but inland we
bought them of carriers, who would
cell you eocoantit for one cent, would
chop off the ends with their machete,
and bore a hole like a ten-cent piece
for you. Then you drink the 'cocoa'
water, as they call it, and throw the
nuJ, away.

WHERE THE COIN WAS MADE.
Location of the Mint Can lie Deter
mined by Certain Mark*.
Coins and "coons” look alike to most
men, but It Is easy to tell where any
coin of twenty-five cents or over was
made. There are four places of coin
age in the country—Philadelphia, San
Francisco, New Orleans and Carson
City. The first mint was established
at Philadelphia, and as the founding
of other places of coinage was then
unforeseen there was no necessity of
putting a mark on coins which came
from that city. But as the country
grew in territory, population and
wealth, and as the mines in the west
were developed more and more each
year, it became necessary to establish
other mints whereby the government
could keep track of the output from
each place, and, if an error should
occur in the coinage, could at once lo
cate the mint from which the defective
coin had come. All coins are supposed
to weigh exactly the same as others of
the same denomination. Silver coin
age may be pretty well worn before it
is liable to rejection, but that Is not
the case with gold pieces, and a slight
decrease in weight necessitates recoin
age. It was for these reasons that
marks ere put on coirs made elsewhere
than in the Quaker City. These marks
are placed below the eag'.e or the
bunch of arrows. If there be a letter
In the place designated it will be either
i small s, o, or the two double letters
cc. These bearing the letter s are
from the mint at San Francisco. Others
having the letter o are from New Or
leans, while those b nring the letters
cc are from Carson City. If you do
not find any letter on the coin at all,
it is an indication that the coin came
Irom Philadelphia.—Chicago Chron
icle.
English Farmers' Muslin.
There has been much written about
the Indifference of the harvest through
England this year. It is true enough
that in many parts the crops are thin
and the straw extraordinarily short,
but there are exceptions. Anyone who
has visited the fen country must be
astonished at the luxuriance of the
crops. There has not been such a har
vest of wheat and barley for many
years, and the crops of roots are enor
mous. Whether or no this is alto
gether to the financial good of the
farmer is another question, for in re
spect at any rate of potatoes in Ireland,
America and the continent the crops
are equally plentiful, and prices will
be low. There is a proverb among fen
farmers that “a bad year is better than
a good, and a good worse than a bad."
—London Globe.
Making Water Build Dural.
Many readers who do not follow the
literature of engineering will be inter
ested In the statement that one of the
methods employed by American en
gineers in forming reservoir dams is
to call in the services of a powerful
jet of water, as in hydraulic mining.
By directing such a jet against the
upper slopes of a valley, the Band,
soil and gravel scoured from the hill
sides can be carried by the force ot
the stream to the site of the dam in
the lower part of the valley. By suit
able management, the water not only
conveys the materials, but consolidates
them in position, dropping the larger
stones at the sides and carrying the
finer material to the center of the
dam.
