Take wo tablespoonsfull best starch, add a very little water to it, rub and stir with a spoon into a thick paste, carefully breaking all the lumps and particles. Add a pint of boiling water, stirring at the same time ; boil half an hour, stir ring occasionally to keep it from burn ing. Add a piece of ' enamel " the size of a pea-; if this is not at hand use a tablespoonful of gum arabio solution (made by pouring boiling water upon gum arabio and standing until clear and transparent! ; or a piece of clean mutton tallow half the size of a nutmeg, and a teaspoon of salt will do, but it is not as good. Strain the starch through a strainer, or piece of thin muslin. Have the shirt turned wrong side out ; dip the bosoms carefully in the starch and wqueoze out, repeating the operation I until the bosoma are thoroughly and evenly saturated with the starch ; pro ceed to dry. Three hours before iron ing dip the bosoms iu clean water ; wring out and roll up tightly. First iron the back by folding it lengthwise through the center : next iron the wrist bands, and both sides of the sleeves ; hen the collar-band ; now place the bosom-board under the bosom, and with . a dampened napkin rub the bosom from the top toward the bottom, and smooth ing and arranging each plait neatly. With a smooth, moderately-hot iron, begin at the top and iron downward, and continue the operation until the bosom is perfectly dry and shining, Remove the bosom board, and iron the front of the Bhirts. The bosoms and cuffs of shirts indeed of all nice, fine work, will look cleaner and better if they are first ironed under a piece of t hin old muBlin. It takes off the first beat of the iron, and removes any lumps of starch. A Discovery In Grape Culture. A letter to the secretary of th"t Ohio Horticultural society from W. W. Scar borough of Woodburn, a suburb of Cin cinnati, says : " I have received your favor, inquir ing about the results of the new method of protecting grapes from disease, eto., by inclosing the bunches in paper bags. Hearing in 1876, that my neighbor, Mr. Gottleib Myers, had in that year tried successfully this experiment, early in the summer of 1877, just after the blos soming bad been accomplished and the young grapes fully set, I inclosed in paper bogR 2 500 bunches, chiefly Con cords and Cdtawhns nrul on ma fan bunches of Delaware, Iona and Isabella, and gathered in the fall 2,450 bunches therefrom of perfect and magnificent fruit. Of the fruit that year not bagge l there wa probably one-half destroyed by rot, with a lurther loss by mildew, birds and insects. "Tins year 1 had 7,500 bunches in closed in bags, with substantially the fame result to the kinds or varieties ol grapes before mentioned. Some 200 bivuches of the Hartford prolific variety did not do as well as the other varieties. There was less rot this year in our open vineyards than for many years past, but jet there was diseaso, although dimin isheJ, and the same loss by birds and insects to the unprotecte t bnncheb, which have heretofore existed. "The bag used is the common papoi pasted ba used by the grocers, made of yelloiv MauiU paper, and six iucliei wide by nine inches long or deep, ano fasteued to the bunch by two or three pins. These bags (or most of them), if made of good quality of paper, wii) last for two years use, as will the pint also be good for the second years' use, if of good quality. " The quality 'of the fruit is improved by its isolation in the bag it ia. richer in saccharine matter, and of higher flavor. The cost of bags, pins and labor is about one-third of a cent per bag on the small scale of my experiments. The result of the experiments has confirmed the theory which I have hold, that the rot is caused by the puncture of the grape by some minute insect, just at the time when it becomes of full size, and when covered by the night dew or the moisture of a foggy night or morning." Cincinnati Gazette. An Actress Who Slept In a Coffin. Miss Mary Anderson, talking to a re porter of the Louisville Courier-Jour. nal the other day, said of Sarah Bern hardt, tuat one slept in a coffin con tinuously for three years. She does not do so now. I asked her why she gave up the habit. She said she had grown tired of it, as the ooflin was uncomfort able, tihe Baid uhe wished to familiar ize herself with the thought of death. I saw her boudoir. The carpet was of black velvet, with flowers in silver, the furniture covered with black velvet, and the walls curiously decorated in the same fashion. A skeleton of a man who she said had died of love in Mantua huug before the mirror, with a finger pointing at ita own reflection. In larue bowls about the room rose leaves were heaped, the fragranoe that arose being overpowering. I could not remain in the room, it was bo sugg6ntive of horri I.Je thoughts," THE COWFIlMT AT IS.MF.S. An Httrnnrdlnnry Frrmli Dlrrrelnn. Two of the gates of the old city Mill exist at Nimes, otTerinfj Rome fine mar ble sculptures; but when one Ins been here and there about the oi l city, nnd seeu all its antiquities, he returns' again and again with growing interest to a contemplation of its mnguiflcpnt nmphi theater. It is slightly elliptical In form, nd Smaller than the amphitheater of Aries, and perhaps inferior to that in purity of style, but its situation makes it, on the whole, more attractive and cheerful, and it could once seat 25, 000 spectators, which is qnite an army. Each division of Beats one for the patricians, another for tbe e juitari, or knights, and two upper tiers for the plebeians had its own vomitorium, or exit, with distinct corridors, and these are all yet iu good preservation. So enormous is the strength and so massive is the construction of this edifice that when Charles Martel expelled, the Sara cens from it and filled the corvidors with wood, and tried to burn it down, he was unable to make any perceptible impression. The arena is slill used for bull-flghts on fete days. I witnessed a spectacle of this sort in that place, which in a remote way served to give me an idea of the crandenr of n o-in,,;ar,-nii day, or a fight with wild beasts, in those guuo-uy umes, wnen tuose vast tiers of marble were thronced with mvri.ia robed in purple and gold. Thera were aoout six tbousand present on this occa sion. More, probably, would have at tended if it had been a regular bull-fight instead of a cow-fight which was offered on the bills. 'But. if Iara ATP.it.ino- timm was nearly as much fun in the spectacle jl saw mare. it was advertised as a "course fibre "which meant flint all who chose could enter the arena and join in the sport. The cows, if not as dangerous as bulls, were of Spanish breed, and by no means to be despised ; 11 lueir uorns naa not oeen bound in felt, more than on A nlinmninn nmnl.l . u I . have lost his life in the arena that after noon, uetween the horns a rosette was firmly bound, and the lnokv fpllnw vrlin could tear it off won a o-old niffA and lots of applause. Many a daring youth licked the dust that ifnv Hawarai 1,0,1 their shirts torn off, and received very oovcro uiuwB in ine duck, wmch doubt less earned for them plenty of cheap and wholesome advice when they got home. One was pinned asrainst Mi wall between the cow's horns and had a very narrow escape. Sometimes there were nearly one hundred mm in tha a von oof once, and this was one reason why none were killed outright, for as soon as one npormman was unocKed over all tho others rushed in and diverted the atten tion of the poor infuriated brute, which would finally get completely worried out and baffled from the constant rush of one and another. Thus the largest num ber of men in the arena served as a pro tection rather than an increase of dan ger. Tho prize was won three times in succession by one man young, lithe, handsome, and apparently made of steel and India rubber. He had a genius for that sort of thing evidently; but I could not help thinking how like that was to the game of life how many try, how few win I The view of the galleries was scarcely less animated. On the shady side of the arena the throng was gathered from every class, from the English nobleman to the lowest canaille who could .muster a few sons to pay for a back seat. Bril liant oostumes and elegant toilets were not wanting to remind one of the scar let togas and magnificent women of older, times. The voluptuous and al most imperial beauty of some of the fair dames of Nimes collected ther in that hour was never surpassed in the brightest days of ancient Rome; and in deed it was Roman blood that gave to them a fiery and almost fierce splendor, such as may be rivaled but cannot be iranscended out of tho south of Franco, ihere were also present some fine speci mens of masculine beauty. The people of Languedoo and Provence, if less intellectual-looking than those of other parts of France, certainly present one of the noblest types of physical beauty the world has seen. Throughout this multitude the most vivid interest in the game became more and more evident, stimulated somewhat, perhaps, by the absinthe, eau-de-vie and coffee whioh were industriously circulated by little, bare-headed Ganymedes, who attracted my atteution by the way in which, waiter and glasses in hand, they walked .tad balanced themselves on the beveled e lge or me wall in front of the lower ir. But the interest minuted during the receHS between the icis, 11 one may so express it. The gate was unbarred, and .1 youths rnahe.l in to participate in a ceuo which was evidentlv n part of the programme. For a few minutes thev scattered ah in search of coins which mio-lit. ha been missed by those to whom they had been thrown. KmManiv At i, spectators hurled a oircular cake into me air, ana it lell spinning into the arena. This was the signal for one of the most extraordinary repetitions of the Kilkenny cats' fight that ever was seen. Men and boys rushed together in a perfect bedlam of confusion, each trying to seize the cake. It was torn into a hundred fragments in a mome it and now there rained a hailstorm of cop per and silver coins, bonbons, cakes, loaves of bread and fruit f 1 spectators, who were aroused to the last pitch of excitement and mirth, as the multitude of men ami hnva inromui together in an inextricably tangled mass . u.cvKxiucu uuuiumiy, everj atom yel ling, howling, struggling, pullincr. tear ing, kicking, leaping, pounding and luiuuiug wua me energy 01 fighting demons, faces flushed, noses scratched and bloody, hair pulled and clothes Krn, ana yet tlirough it all entire good humor. Never in the roughest football uuwu iuhi 1 nave witnessed did I see anything to approach the raciness and roughness of this remarkable and blood stirring spectacle in the arena of Nimes.

William Burt was sentenced to twenty lashes of the cat-o'-nine tails and a term of one month's imprisonment. All having been made ready, tho sheriff read the sentence of the court. Then ho desired one of the turnkeys to keep conntof the strokrs. "One., snid the turnkey, and the "eat" came whizzing down across Burt's back, leaving the trail of niue blood-red streaks from shoulder to shoulder. The strokes fol lowed in quick succession, and were administered with n biting sweep. At the twelfth stroke the lash descended about two inches lower than the pre ceding ones. "Strike up," remonstrat d Burt, and not another word did he utter until all was over. "Domino I" said he then. His back by this time was raw and livid, but no blood had been drawn, although the great wales stood out from his shoulders like blood vepsels ready to burst. Ho was released, and then he turned to the man with the cat-o'-nine tails and asked, " Why didn't you keep Btrikiug above T ' "A pretty good present this," he continued, ' and I have not deserved it either. I wish, sheriff, you would give Judge Hughes my compliments for this present, and I'm perfectly innocent of the charge." " I can say nothing about that," replied the sheriff. " Both t he judge and the jury believe you were guilty." " I am innocent for all that," said Burt, " and I didn't get a" fair opportunity for call ing witnesses." St. Thoma Journal. They Knew tif Iron. mi. 1 1 ..... mo latest aiscovery by vr. Bchlie- mann, at Troy, include one of some moment to the iron interest, as well as to scientific theory. The theory has been that stone, bronze and iron aces succeeded each other regularly, and that, as Homer refers to iron as a rare metal, ond obtained with much difficulty wnen ne uvea, it oouia nardiy nave been known in the many centuries crevions to his nge iu whioh Troy flourished. That supposition has been partly cor- roDorareu oy ur. acniiomann's failure to find iron, or evidences of its use, in Mycenie. But since he resumed in the ruins of Troy, a few weeks Bince, the explorer has discovered an arrow-shaped and 1 onble-edged steel dagger, perfectly preserved in wood ashes. It is, there fore, demonstrated that the people of Troy knew of iron and understood metallurgy, and that the iron age was proieexeu lar bacK or tne period usually assigned to its commencement. The evolution theory is required to recalcu late its perioJs and rearrango inferences Bomowhat by this discovery, and our iron makers will Jsnow that their specialty is older than most, and asso ciated with the very infancy of that civ ilizition iu which it hus played bo prominent a part.
