$ tach the deAM , WAzsY, •et a ofrequentlyo young woman' l ids it necessary to launder a shirt waist at home for some emergency Wcen the laundryman or the homae er vant cannot do it. Hence these o tiaons for ironing the waist: To iron urammer shirt waists so that they will look like new it is needful to have them starched evenly with Defiance starch, then made peifectly 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 ag 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 the 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 -rut raising each one with a blunt knife, and with. the edge of the iron follow evert line of stitching to give it distinctness. After the shirt waist is ironed it should be well aired by the fr or in the sun before it is folded and put away, says the Philadelphia Inquirer. No g.rn is truly refined until he has 'passed through God's fires. Famous Institutions. Prof. J. F. )raughon, Proprietor of Draughon's Practical Business Colleges, I Nashville, St. Louis, Atlanta.

The Century M -gazine is about to print a serial which will have an espe cial interest to people who are at home on the prairies. It is called "The Biography of a Prairie Girl." and the author is Eleanor Gates. a young woman who spent her childhood in I Dakota and who thus writes from the closest personal observation. The time of Miss Gates's story is ti about twenty-five years ago; it is put in the form of a personal narrative of the life of a little girl, and there is hardly a phase or event of prairie life which s not touched upon in these pages,-the blizzard, breaking colts, horse stealing by Indians, school days on the frontier, fighting gophers and badgers, cattle raising, and other typi I cal phases of hardship or prosperity. It is not a novel, but the same char acters appear and reappear in the sto ry with a reality which impresses the I reader with confidence in the truth of the narrative. "The Biorgraphy of a Prairie Girl" will oegin in the August number of The Century and it will be illustrated. Thomas W.

Without he her the joke Ariter and the comic artist would be at a loss to fill space a. when ideas will not flow and the world seems tragic. The playwright, too, all would be very much hampered when told to "lighten up" a heavy comedy ses or asked to write a "humorous" sketch. Worst of all, some men would- have nothing to grumble about, says Trene Rowland in the New York Sunday ry Press. er- From literature and the drama one would be led to suppose that the les men who marry have no mothers, or that their mothers are all angels, who re- kiss the girl as the curtain falls and forever afterward retire into the back e, ground to give room to the new queen. Men's mothers are always painted for by artists and wielders of the pen with sweet, patient, martyred faces, soft, ss, white hair and smiling, seraphic old- eyes, while women's mothers, on the rs, contrary, as every one knows, always have hooked noses, glittering bad it. eyes, and carry broomsticks or pokers in their hands. Even the lady novel ln. ists chime in with this popular prejudice. Whoever heard of the hero taking nt an old daguerreotype of his mother from out the pocket over his heart to be sea greeted by "a hard, unsmiling mouth and keen gray eyes?" These are nd features which belong by right to the woman's mother. Ity Now, as a matter of act, a girl who is being mother-in-lawed is a much ne more tragic and pitiable creature than the man who is being mother-in ct. lawed. Her martyrdom, in the first place, begins earlier, much earlier, in ct- the affair than does his. It begins long before she marties or even dreams le- of marrying the man in question. The moment she casts her eyes upon .re Clarence she is .greeted by a glare from over his head that would freeze her of to the spot if she had not been mother-in-lawed many times before. No young man exists so inane, so good-for-nothing, so weak, so depraved, so in physically and morally repulsive that his mother does not consider him the is object of every woman's wiles and too good for any girl who may so far n- forget herself as to marry him. If Marion, who is something of a belle in her way, pities the green and callow youth who has been standing against the wall all evening and smiles ma- upon him a bit more radiantly than necessary, his mother over in the chap-t an eron's corner immediately beckons him with her fan and warns him in hurried and hushed tones against "that woman," which warning fortunately u only adds a spice to his already dizzying dose of nectar and sends him rapidly skating across the dancing floor to beg a waltz. From that moment on Marion's life is a long story of petty persecution. Her reputation is as 'v unsafe as one malicious tongue can make it. Her goings and comings are watched from behind drawn curtains. If by chance, with a good-natured desire to bring out the boy, in whom she sees some possibilities of social success in spite of his awkwardnes, she is kind to him and permits him to call, there is an immediate rushing to arms in his household, and amid tears to and maledictions he is sent away to college. e- .When at length a girl has really decided to take a man seriously her at trouble begins in -earnest. Somehow, the little gods only know how, a man's md mother always discovers the fact the moment he stops calling promiscuously id and cuts the list in his engagement book down to one address. From that g moment she regards her son as a victim of a malicious, determined, unscrupu in lois, scheming woman. She never stops to argue with herself. She forgets e that his name is Smith, that he' has freckles, that his salary is infinitesimal, and that he was never known to evince a talent for anything but pleasing is himself in all his life. t She goes blindly into the fray, never seeing that the girl is pretty, of young, pure and clever and that nothing but love and love alone could tempt is her to marry any man. She begins by calling the girl "that woman" and re cuts her dead on the street. I have always considered it a distinct compli 3e ment for any man's mother to call me "that woman" or to cast slurs upon s my frivolity and calumny on my cooking. It is the first proof that the man is interested in me. Ld Perhaps the girl. in the case, feeling an intense loyalty to Clarence, over looks the slights, and knowing, as every girl does, that she is going to marry the man whether his mother approves it or not, seeks to propitiate the out raged one by sending her caramels or working her a sofa pillow. Then the wronged mother hae a clue! e "Look!" she exclaims; "look! That woman is running after my son so :e shamelessly that she's actually sending me soft pillows. Tasty thing, isn't it?" And she smiles with malicious irony at you, while you, recognizing the I, blue flame of her wrath, can only agree with her meekly. When at last the engagement is announced and she finds that all her war d paint and her weapons have been wasted in vain, she resorts to tears and entreaties that would drive the ordinary son to suicide or distraction if he did not have the consolation of "that woman's" subtle sympathy. Occasional 1- ly the wild mock martyrdom of his mother does affect a weak son so deeply te that he breaks the engagement and consecrates himself to celibacy for life, 'e or at least during the remainder of his mother's life, and thus two lives are a wrecked for all time. y After marriage the wrong side of the mother-in-law question often leads to tragedy. A man is much more willing to listen to tales against the woman he has won than to what he considers "vilification" of the woman he is trying to win. So, if the daughter-in-law's mother-in-law does not sensibly subside on the night of the wedding when her son goes to his lifelong sentence of martyrdom there is apt to be much misery in the dove cote. Marion cannot wear a red dress down town shopping without being accused of "trying to attract attention." She cannot go to luncheon with Cousin Jimmy without being spied upon and perhaps suspected of infidelity. There is always the desire of the daughter-in-law's mother-in-law to - prove her point. She forgets that in vindicating her selfish spleen she may o drive her son to the divorce court and ruin the reputation of a pure woman. She forgets that when she married her son's father she went through the f same agony of trying to mollify his mother and to clear herself of the crime k of which she knew she stood accused in those reproving eyes. She forgets s that it is selfish and cold-blooded for a mother to expect her son to live f always without love for her sake. i It is not his fault that he was born a boy and therefore too good for any e girl living. It is not his fault that he is a king among men and that every - woman who meets him at once sets her villainous trap to ensnare him. It is not his fault that he is blind to the deficiencies of the girl whom he has chosen-who, in fact, is the very worst girl that he could possibly have e chosen out of the entire army who have pursued him. Then why should he be denied the very ordinary and necessary comfort of a wife; why should a he live all his life, rich in the smothering sweetness of mother love, but starving for the draught of nectar that wifely love alone can give? 0 Why? Because the wrong side of the mother-in-law question is full of knots that Alexander could not cut. Because divine motherhood has been warped by selfishness that is almost beyond comprehension. Because there Sare raw edges and ugly seams to the character of a daughter-in-law's mother in-law that make a son-in-law's mother-in-law appear an angel In disguise I beside her. An Ancient Crown That of Lombardy r Most Cherished Possession Among the crowns preserving the ancient form more than any others now worn is the so-called iron crown of Lombardy, which is the most treas ured national possession of the Italian kingdom. It is of golden "plaques," or panels rather longer than they are high, but small in size, so as not to rise above the top of the head. They form, indeed, only a jointed band of foliage, embi:ssed relief-work, and one narrow wire of iron binds them together in the inside-this wire having the repute of being hammered out from one of the nails of our Saviour's cross. It was the enlargement of these panels in other crowns which led to the cross-band or "closure" of the crown. Look at the German crown and the Austrian, both adaptations of that of the old emperors of the "Holy Roman Empire." The "arch of em pire" became the result in the crown of the necessity for fastening panels for protection for the head from any stroke from above delivered in war.- From an article by the Duke of Argyll in Leslie's Monthly. Draining a Sea People of Holland Are to Reclaim Zuyder Zee Chimerical schemes for the flooding of the desert of Sahara have often been discussed, but a far more interesting and useful engineering feat of just the opposite kind is about to be accomplished by that most practical of peoples, the Dutch. In Leslie's Monthly for July is the first thorough ac count of the proposed scheme for pumping dry and turning into arable pasture land the Zuyder Zee. that inland sea which covers over 1,400 square miles in the heart of Holland. This undertaking, which will take many more than twenty years to accomplish, should result in providing homes for 50,000 people and in adding greatly to the wealth and prosplerity of Holland. As an example of interior explansion, this mundertaking is unique in history, and no more stupendous engineering feat has ever been planned. It is estimated that the people of the United States eat 2,000,000 frogs yearly. These frogs are sought for in all parts of the country, furnishing a paying industry not only for the hunters of them in their natural haunts, but for scores of persons who have frog farms. Opium-smoking is increasing in Eastern Siberia. and causing the authori ties some anxiety owing to the frequent deaths therefrom.

Long skirts are responsible for an innovation at dances which is a some what mixed blessing.
