WOODEN i'm Place Of Cotton.

A German professor has started a
theory respecting clothing, which is
creating quite sensation in fatherland.
He objects to garments made of linen or
cotton, and gives many reasons why wool
should be the sole clothing of human be-
ings.
Wool is the natural covering of ami
mails. 1t rids their bodies of effete and
poisonous emanations, and protects
them from the inclemency of the
weather.
But cotton and linen are composed of
vegetable fibre. They are dead mater.
ials, and retain the noxious emanations
from our bodies, thus slowly poisoning
US. Silk is not so objectionable, as it is
product of an animal life, because spun
from the body of an animal. But it is
far less wholesome, especially when
worn next the skin, than wool or the
hair of one of the lower animals.
These are some of the reasons why he
demands the exclusion of cotton and lin
en- from the materials out of which we
make our clothing.

Golden Days.l

One of the most singular features in
the scenery of the territory of Idaho is
the occurance of dark, rocky chasms,
into which creeks aud large streams
suddenly disappear and are never more
seen.
The assures are old lava channels pro-
duced by the outside of the mass cooling
and forming a tube, which, when tine
fiery stream was exhausted, has been left
empty, while the roof of the lava duct,
having at some point fallen In, presents
there the opening into which the river
plunges and is lost.
At one place along the Snake one of
these rivers appears gushing from cleft
high up in basaltic walls, where it leaps
a cataract into the torrent below. Where
this stream has its origin, or at what
point it is swallowed up, is absolutely
unknown, although it is believed that
its sources are long way up in the North
country.

What Rolled Gold is.

Rolled-gold jewelry is fiction. The
term was invented for the purpose of
giving the pnblic the impression that the
goods SO sold were solid golds but that by
reason of its being rolled the cost of man
ufacture was greatly cbeapened. This
idea caught the public fancy, and the
trade soon assumed enormous proper
lions.
As the demand for this kind of jewelry
increased, the demand for solid gold de-
creased, aud at present there are only a
few of the old established houses which
deal exclusively in the pure metal.
Properly speaking, all gold used by
jewelers. is rolled into plates or drawn in
to wire before it is shaped into any par
ticular style of jewelry, and that which
is understood by the public generally as
rolled gold is known to the trade as rolled
plate

Running Trains.

Among the most valuable experiments
made recently with view to ascertain
the difference In the consumption of coal
between running train very rapidly
and at a very low rate of speed. those up
on the Pennsylvania road, near Phila-
delphia, present the most pertinent and
definite date for arriving at a conclu-
sion.
According to the published account,
the same conditions, same number OF
cars, and similar engines were employed,
and the train in each case went the same
distance-1l9 miles out and back, with
some stops. The fast train ran on SEIZED
ule express time, and consumed 6,725
pounds of coal; the slow trail ran at
twelve miles an hour, and consumed
APO pounds, being a saving of 1905
pounds.

DR.. L. ID. Crothers has made the i'm.
portant discovery that drunkenness is a
contagious disease. The theory that
drunkenness is contagious is not in con-
fict with any well-established facts, and
has much positive evidence to sustain it..
The microbe that, when taken into the
body, creates thirst for alcohol can, &C
cording to DIR. Crothers, be conveyed
from one person to another by contact.
The man who shakes hands with drunk
ard is liable to catch the disease, and it
is even probable that it can be conveyed
by means of clothing. We can now un-
derstand why so many temperance lee
turers, after being entirely cured of
drunkenness, have fallen victims to re-
newed attacks of the disease.
The truth is that they have mingled
so closely with drunkards in efforts to
cure them that they have caught drunk
enness a second or third time. Suscep-
tibility to the disease is not, as in the
case of smallpox or whopping cough, de-
stroyed by single attack. We must
depend, therefore, for the extirpation of
drunkenness upon finding remedy for

What is politeness in public2 1t in
wolves the prompt perception of the
rights and comforts of Others, and the
willing and graceful concession of these.
Where this is done, even if the manner
be not ali that could be desired, the
spirit and purpose answer.
These are apt to be evident in the
manner. And where there is purpose
and effort to make others agreeable, the
essence of true politeuess will appear.
But selfishness, that seeks only personal
enjoyment, at the expense of all others,
is the essence of impoliteness. There
appear in public life many who are
polished as to outward manner who are,
at the same time, at variance with all
the rules of good conduct. A stately
bow, a polished expression, do not an

others which is the material element in

Suddenly on the still night air rang

whose light played along the roofs edge

but fierce and angry in its thirst and

the deadly sufOcating breath of an i'm

OF shoddy, whose presence in cloth you
can always detect III the manner | have
told you"
but in ready-made clothingT
There you have no means of detect
ing it. save by wearing the goods. You
have to trust To the honesty of the firm
of whom you purchase. Though don't
deal in ready-made goods myself, it is no
more than just for me to say that many
firms that deal in nothing else are per-
fectly honest and Trustworthy, and
whose guaranty of what they warrant is
as good as gold. Only, in addition 10
the precautions / have given you, be
very careful, in choosing goods, whether
made up or not, to know that the ma
terial has been properly fulled. With
out perfect course of fulling woollen
cloth will always shrink upon becoming
damp"
What is the exact meaning of full
ingY"
Pulling is the last, or finishing, pro-
cess through which cloth passes, or
should pass, before it is ready for the
weaver's use. 1t is process by which
cloth is secured, cleansed, and thickened.
1t consists of a series of pestles, or stamp
ers, which alternately fall into and rise
out of the trough, through which the
cloth is being passed, along with fuller's
earth or some other cleansing material
This process, besides Kidding the cloth of
the grease and oil used in preparing
wool, prevents its shrinking thereafter on
coming in contact with the wet. You
often see trousers, for instance, that
looked large enough, and even overlarge
when first put on, but which, neverthe-
less. shrink up too small, or all out of
shape, after encountering a single hour
of wet weather. That is because the ma
terial was not thoroughly fulled. In
selecting clothing material always make
sure that it has been properly fulled."
"But how can an inexperienced person
tell whether it has been properly fulled
or not?"
"He can't. There is no way by which
he can. His only safeguard in this re-
spect is to take his tailor's word for it.
Hence, how important it is for every
man to have an honest tailorl Let me
repeat my warning, young man. In
selecting clothing material, beware Of
shoddy and put your faith in an honest
tailor"

A little Newport child of rich parant-
age. carefully nursed and richly clothed
and guarded tenderly by its elders, was
driving by the orphans home the other
day, when it caught the sound of the
many childish voices in the yard where
the children were at play. 1t eagerly
asked:
ooh, mamma, what is that?"
"They are poor little orphans, without
any parents" impressively answered the
mother, hugging her darling closer.
"Oh, mamma" exclaimed the child,
crossing her little hands over her velvet
gown and drawing deep sigh, show
wish was poor little orphan"
The mother appreciated the situation,
and has since given her child companion
ship of its own statue and little more
freedom from fine clothes and constant
nursing.

Three Chains.

There are three chains which bind
men in captivity-custom, habit and
appetite.
These different forces play into each
others hands. First custom comes with
its insinuations and solicitations; then
follows habit with its bands and letters;
and finally comes appetite with its fiery
energies, sweeping the soul as with a
cyclone, and hurrying man to ;rretriey-
able ruin.
The time to snap these chains is at the
beginning. A three-fold cord is not
easily broken.
Let those hate bondage remember that
tyranny in its beginning is insidious and
unsupported, and that those who fail to
resist the beginning of evil will find
themselves powerless to war against it

People Buried Alive.

The writer of a paper recently read be-
fore the French Academy of Medicine
expresses the opinion that one in every
5000 persons is buried alive. The ques-
ton has of late been much discussed by
the medical body just mentioned, and it
seems to be settled that none of the ac-
cepted indications of death, with the
single exception of the unmistakable de.
composition of the body, are to be re-
garded as perfectly conclusive. 1t is
certain that the possibility of such a
trightful death weighs on the mind of
many of the French, as, according TO r
recent declaration of the President of
the Chamber of Notaries, express in
structions are given in one will out of
every ten to have the testator's heart
pierced by qualified surgeon before the
coffin is screwed down.

The Topography of the Brain

Abundant proof has been adduced of
the fact that the brain may be handled,
irritated or partially destroyed without
necessary damage to life.
One of the latest developments of this
method of investigation has been the dis.
covery of those centers in the cortex
which preside over voluntary motion,
which have been, more especially by
Prof. Terrier, differentiated and localized
with great precision.
This important knowledge has been
arrived at by an extended series of ex-
periments conducted on living animals,
in which, by observing the several effects
or destroying limited areas of their brains
the functions of these special localities
have been determined. A topography
of the cerebrum has thus been construct
ed, in which the various faculties have
been mapped out

of it had been sold.

year 1896, now before me, ] transcribe
the following lyric, and it is there
stated that they are sung to the air

John Hague, IN Toronto MALL
"reminiscences of men so popular al
Dickens are always interesting, especially
such as throw light upon character, and
most especially when they tend to clear
reputation from ungenerous aspersions
such as he had to endure, and such as
some persons still cast upon his memory
as a man.
Allow me, then, to say, as the topic
has been raised in the Mail, that about
quaint little house just within the gate
of Euston place, then occupied by a
highly gifted journalist, Mr.. G. j. II.
Mr.. III. had, as sub-tenant and boarder,
my genius-gifted, 'iamented friend, the
late Henry Merritt, whose cabin-sized
studio l was often in. l may say that
we were all three interested In the Lead

The den of the greatestart Judge and
critic of this age-Merritt, looked out
upon the lawn of the house occupied by
the greatest novelist-Dickens. My at
tention was one day drawn to the win
dow by the screechiDg merriment Of
youngsters.
Merritt, in his solemn manner, with a
Whit of his stubby pipe, said: "fhose
are Dickens brats larking with him as
usual" On the grass saw Dickens,
attired in a loose Turkish patterned
dressing gown, gambolliDg with his chill
dren, more like kitten with other kit
tens than seemed to comport with the
dignity of illustrious authorship.
Dickens, however, kept his dignity for
ut occasions. The fun seemed TO arise
from struggle for the top place, in
which Dickens with glorious good nature
and with farcical gesticulations. all owed
himself to be ANONYMOUSLY worste d by
the young ones.
Those who have seen Dickens nnri-
vailed powers as comedian will be able
TO understand the hysterical glee of the
children. Aspersions on Dickens do

been regarded by me with contempt a.
mendacious. At Sheffield when he was
playing with Collins, Augustus Egg, and
Others of more or less note, on ben alf of
a literary charity, Dickens was greatly
amused at being told that his fir olics on
the lawn had been witnessed end told
me that Merritt often shook his pipe Al
