The Origin of Starching.
The course of history carries us, back
Ho further than the year 1564 for the
origin of starching in London. It wms
in that year that Mistress Van der
Plasse came with her husband from
Flanders to the English metropolis “for,
their greater safety” and there pro-
fessed herself a * stareher. The best
housewives of the time were not long
to discovering the excellent whiteness
of the “Dutch linen,” as it was called,
aud Mistress Plasse soon had plenty of
good paying clients. Some of these be-
gan to synd her ruffs of lawn to starch,
which she did so excellently well that
it became a saying that if any one sent
her a ruff made of rf spider’s web she
would be aide to starch it. So greatly
didsber reputation grow that fashiona-
ble dames went to her to learn the prt
and myatory of starching, for which
they gladly paid a premium of £4 or £5.
and - for the secret of seething starch
they paid gladly a farther sum of 20
shillings. • • . ! ,

Byron** Fatted Gooic.
One of the stories eohee.rning the
traditional dish of roast goose on Mi-
chaelmas day-refers to Lord Byron',
says an English newspaper. !! The poet^
always insisted in keepfbg up old cus-
toms in small things, such as having
hot cross buns on Good Friday and
roast goose on Michaelmas day. This
last fancy bad a grotesque result when
he was in Italy. ; Aftef buying a goose
and fearing it might be too lean Byron
‘ fed it every day for a month previous
to the festival, so that the poet and
the bird became so mutaliy attached
that when Sept. 29 arrived be could
not klTl it, but bought another and bad
the pet gooSe swung in a cage under
his carriage when he traveled. "

.The wife of a Washington street
merchant is very fond of rases, espe-
cially of the tdhlliant varieties. By
way of remind/r she said to the hus-
band the other inacning before be
started for business; -
“I see, my dear, that Jack's are be-
coming cheaper.” "
"That may be true,” said the hus-
band absently, “but I have known
men who would ]have;been wilpug to
t>ay $100 for one to put with the two
already in their hand.”-Mndiunupblis

Study Them; Didn’t Kill!
If, instead of shooting the birds,
scotching the snake, smashiftg the
beetle and pinching the tiny life out
of the butterfly, we were to watch any
one of these creatures on a summer
day the day wbuld pass like an hour,
so packed with exciting experience it
would seem. Through what myste-
rious coverts of the woodland, into
what a haunted underworld of tunnel-
ed banks and hidden ditches and se-
cret passages the snake .Would show
us the way, and we should have
Strange hearts if, as we thus watched
it through its mysterious day, we did

Malayan Tree Dweller*.
The Sakais, or tree dwellers, of the
Malay peninsula build their houses in
forked trees a dozen feet above ground
and reach them by means of bamboo
ladders, which they draw up when
safely housed out of harm’s way. The
bouse itself is a rude kind of shack,
made of bamboo, and the flooring is
la shed together piece by piece a nd
bound securely to the, tree limbs by-
rattan.
These curious people are rather small

The venomous lizard, heloderm, lives
in the warm zone between the Cordille-
ras of Central America aqd the Pacific
ocean. It secretes a poisonous saliva
and has the curious habit,of throwing
itself, on Its back when struck. Its bite
is aef always so dangerous as popular
opinion makes it. and aft^r severe pain
it often rapidly heals. Berent observa---
tlons show that the saliva-is sometimes
very poisonous* and sometimes very in-
