A CHINESE METHOD OF IRONING.
Usually when a woman uses a,n iron she begins with it at the right heat for use, and consequently it soon cools, and she consumes much time in changing- her irons. The Chinese, on the contrary, gets his iron very hot —much too hot for use. When he begins to use the iron he plunges it quickly into cold water. This cools the surface for a moment. The heat from the interior then begins to come to the surface, and continues to do so for some time, about as fast as it is cooled by use, so that the necessity for frequent changing of irons is obviated.
