To Detect Cotton Fibers Burn a Sam
pit of the Cloth.
Until tbe proper labeling of textiles
has been made compulsory there are
certain simple tests by means of which
one may determine whether an "all
wool" fabric is really all wool or not
The old way of telling by feeling and
looking is no longer reliable, fur cotton
can be made both to feel and look like
wool. The only sure way Is to take
samples of the goods home with you
and make teats of them there.
If a piece of cotton cloth Is Ignited it
will be found to burn ratber rapidly
with a bright, steady flame. There is
no dlsngreeahle odor, and when the
mnlerlul Is completely consumed there
will be left only a small amount of
light gray, fluffy ash. If a piece of
pure wool Is lighted it will be found to
burn much more slowly and with a less
steady flame, emitting a characteristic,
mild, hissing noise and u strong odor
very similar to that of burned horn.
There will be much more ash remain
ing than In the case of cotton, und It
will be in the form of u crinkly, black,
crisp ball,
In (implying this tent to a fabric the
whole sample should not be burned at
once, for if it Is a so called wool piece
containing considerable cotton it will
be very difficult to determine whether
It Is burning more like cotton or wool.
Threads should be taken from the sam
ple, several each from tbe warp ami
the woof, and burned separately. With
a very little practice one will be able to
detect the cotton threads by the char
acteristic niar.ncr of burning. Some
times it is well to pick a thread apart
with u pin and test the individual fiber
with the flame to determine whether
the thread Is entirely wool or mixed
with cotton. Jean Donaldson Murtln
in Mothers' Magazine.
QUAINT OLD INN NAMES.
Some of the Peculiar Signe One May
Read In England.
"Man Loaded With Mischief' is the
name of an inn in the Madingley road,
Cambridge, but it Is not stranger than
many others. At Underwood, Notts, Is
an Inn called "Tbe Toad In the Hole,"
and in the neighborhood of Somer
cotes. "The Old House at Home." An
other Inn ut tbe same place Is called
"Tbe Old English Gentleman."
It is a debatable point whether the
sign of "Tbe Man Loaded With Mis
chief was painted by Hogarth. But it
Is like his sutlre. for it represents a
man carrying a woman.
Many peculiar signs are tbe result
of a misconception. "The Bag o Nails"
Is really "The Bacchanals." "The Gont
and Compasses" is an Ignorant shut at
the old motto, "God encompnsses us,"
while "The George and ('mimm" is a
modern corruption of George Canning,
who was prime minister when the inn
was built.
One of the funniest of these corrup
tions is "The Iron Devil." a corruption
of "Illrondclle" (swallow). It is said
that tbe bin called "Tbe Tig and Tin
der Box" was originally "The Ele
phant and Castle, but' a very poor
artist was engaged to paint the sign.
and somebody said It looked like a pig
and tinder box, and the-nanie stuck
until it ousted tbe old one.
"Tbe Tlurn and Feathers," an Inn In
Oxford, should be "Plume of Feath
ers," and "The Rose of the Quarter
Sesslous" was originally "La Rose des
Quatres Salsons." One might think
"The Ship and Shovel" belonged to the
same category, but it does not Tbe
reference Is to Sir Cloudesley Shovel,
the powder monkey who became an
admiral in the reign of Queen Anne.

In the Bible, italics have no relation
to tbe common practice of using them
for tbe purpose of emphasizing cer
tain words. In the early history - of
printing those portions of a book not
properly belonging to tbe main work,
such as introductions, prefaces, in
dexes and footnotes, were printed in
Italics, the text itself being In Roman.
Lost Humor.
Mark Twain was once asked by an
English clerk in a London bookstore to
write his autograph.
, "My chlrography Is becoming less
and less distinct" complained tbe au
thor whimsically as he complied with
tbe request "If this keeps on I'll have
to be getting somebody else to write
my autograph for me."
''But, sir." seriously responded tbe
clerk, "nobody would want it then."

'CULTIVATE JUDGMENT.
Mai)
Its Poiiewion It What Makes a
Suoceieful In Buaineea,
It was one of the intellectual shocks
of my young manhood to discover that
an analytical chemist could often get
only $50 a month. I bnd long looked
with awe upon the accurate percent
ages and detailed reports of the ana
lytical chemist. This water contains
2.341 grain of such and such sub
stance per gallon. I wondered at the
marvelous iiiun who could get out such
flue results, and to learn that he nt
times gets but $50 a mouth was a
shock.
Tbe explanation Is this. The chem
ical analysis of ordinary specimens is a
technical process of a perfectly definite
character. If n work is dellnlte and
therefore capable of being reduced to
clear cut Instructions tbe pay that It
commands Is not likely to be high, even
though the work Itself Is complicated.
It requires good memory and painstak
ing obedience to Instructions. Muny
persons have these qualities. The
scarce attribute Is Judgment, that in
definable quality capable of meeting a
new situation and handling it with
common sense or gumption, to put it In
a homely term.
Judgment Is indefinite. We cannot
lay out instructions in advance to tell
the manager how to meet situations.
To buy good raw material he must
learn to know the raw materials, and
many of the tests he applies are too
fine for words to reduce to Instructions.
He must decide for Indefinite reasons
that now Is a good time to enlarge or
retrench; that here Is a good place to
open up business; that now Is a good
time to buy or to run low on stock;
that tills man needs to be hired; that
this man needs to be tired.
It is In the making of decisions that
successful management lies. And most
of these decisions are beyond rule.
They are Indefinite. They are Judg

But Her Attempt to Be Chatty Brought
an Embarraising Moment.
This Is an extract from a letter writ

a good Joke, even if the laugh is at ber
own eMense:
"It was a damp, windy day the sort
at day that turns straight straggly

strings and ends that stick out about
the face and neck with frightful effect
I was downtown on a shopping expedi
tion that was exceptionally trying, nnd
I knew I looked so bad that 1 care

mirrors, for I was sure I could not un

pearance much. Recklessly I entered a
tearoom with a friend whom I hap
pened to meet
"As I placed my shopping bag on tbe
floor near the table at which we were
to sit another bag, exactly like my
own, was put beside it. Quite naturally
my glance followed tbe hand and arm
up to the face of my neighbor, and as I
met ber look I said to myself. 'She has
hair Just like mine sticking out In
every direction and she looks even
worse than I do, poor thing!'
"Naturally, my heart went out to her
In a great wave of sympathy. We
smiled simultaneously as our troubled
eyes met and I said aloud and quite
distinctly. 'If we are not careful we
shall get our shopping bags mixed!'
"The moment the words were out of
my mouth I wished very earnestly tbut
the floor would mercifully open and let
me through. It did not require the sub
dued snicker from tbe nearby tallies to
awaken me to the realization that I
bad been addressing tho image of my
self in the mirror of which the entire
side of the shop was formed. Do you
get the picture?" Youth's Companion.

Ask Investigation
Of R. R. Mail Pay
Claiming that if the railroads'
compensation for transporting the
malls is not adequate, the burden
necessarily falls upon the shipping
and traveling public, the San Fran
cisco Chamber of Commerce, through
its board of directors, has adopted a
resolution calling for an Investigation
of the railway mail pay subject by
the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion. The text of the resolution fol
lows:
"Whereas, The railroads of the
United States claim and vigorously
maintain that the compensation ac
corded them by the postofflre depart
ment for the transportation of the
mails is inadequate for the service
performed; and
"Whereas, In various rate advance
cases the carriers have insisted that
their total net Income Is Insufficient,
and their claim haB been an impor
tant factor in such cases; and
"Whereas, If the carriers' compen
sation for transporting the malls be
not adequate, the burden necessarily
falls upon the shipping and traveling
public and also upon the public at
large to make up the deficiency
through higher freight and passenger
rates;
"Resolved, That it is tbe sense of
the San Francisco Chamber of Com
merce that the fact should be speed
ily ascertained as to whether the rail
road companies are receiving ade
quate compensation for the mail serv
ice; and further, that the Interstate
Commerce Commission is the proper
body to assist in ascertaining the'
facts, and that this commission be
authorized and directed to Investi
gate the entire question and report as
speedily as possible Its findings and
recommendations for the guidance of
