THE GIRLs.-
God bless the girls,
Whose golden curls
Blend with our evening dreams
They haunt our lives
Like spirit wives,
Or--as naiads haunt the streams.
They soothe our pains,
They Gil our brains
With dreams Of SUMMER hours.
God bless the girls,
God bless their curls,
God bless our human flowers.

How 10 Test the Quality Of Wool,
The Texas State Gazette says:

The Texas State Gazette says:
Take lock OF wool from the
sleeps back and place it upon an
inch rule. If you can count from
thirty TO tbirty-three Of the spirals
or folds in the space of an inch, it
equals in qualify the finest cleo.
torihl of Saxony wool grown"
Of course wher the number Of spi.
rails to the inch diminishes the quail.
ty of the wool becomes relatively
inferior.
Many tests have been tried, but
this is considered the simplest and
best. Cotswold wool and some other
inferior woods, do not measure nine
sfirals TO the inch.
With this test, every farmer has
in his possession knowledge which
will enable him to forn correct
judgment of the quality of all kinds
of wool. There are some coarse
woods, which experienced wool grow
ers do not rank as wool but as hair
on account of the hardness and
straightness Of the fibre.
