nothing but cotton In It. He said IL was
about 80 per cent. of the weight of a piece
uf cashmere, and the trick OF the manu-.
f%acturers is 50 say that the cashmere has
not a thread Of cotton in 1t, commercially
speaking. That seems to save the mani,
conscience commercially speaking" The
very threads are made OF mixed cotton and
wool. so, strictly, there is not a thread of
cotton In such a piece.
The way TO test such cloths IS to put a
piece in some caustic potash. That will
eat out every particle OF the wool, which
Is animal matter, and will not injure the
cotton at all. II the potash be hot, II will
do the work in ten minutes, but II cold all
the wool Will be eaten out after a while.
The defense for the manufacture of such
cloth Is that the wool will wear pretty
well for a while on the cotton basis, and.
after all, the poor must have woolen
clothes to wear, at all events. The
trouble is that even the dealers can not
tell how large is the proportion OF cotton,

In October last. a tall. lean and lank
Yankee student, who graduated from
Yale In 1870. appeared in New Haven and
secured lodgings In a clearinghouse. He
had been Ia the city but q short time be-
fore he received n great number OF calls
from the juniors In the scientific depart
ment. Just why this Yankee was SO al.
tractive to the somewhat fastidious YAH
luys did not appear at the time, but II Is
now understood. The former student.
who was called Smith, was the inventor of
an Ingenious system Of stenographic tat

dolent students TO pass examinations by
getting points from the palms of their
hands, which had previously been covered
viii mysterious cabalistic signs that could
nor be detected and were not visible unless
rubbed an instant with the fingers. When
rubbed the characters would be visible
long enough for the student to get his cue
The Yankee charged 5000 for preparing
the hands Of the students for examine

used In the tattoOing process, and his onl,
instrument was a commo darning needle
With this needle he would trace the char
neters on the hand, and by giving six les
sons in the art Of reading the signs, would
place his pupil In a position to successfully

THE NAMES OF FAST HORSES.
Curious Origin Of Many Of Their cognc-
ed nv Mistake.

m.ns-B-sfowed by Mistake.
II is rather curious to trace out the orr
gin Of the names Of many fast horses ms
entered In the troting and pacing record.
We all know o Maud S. and Jay-Eye-
See came by their cognomens, but the ORR
gin OF some OF the others are only known
to the older hosemen. Goldsmith Maid,
for instance, was originally Goldsmith's
mare, so called from her owner n
breeder, Mr.. Alden Goldsmith, Of Orange
county. New York Goldsmith, by the
way, has a very happy faculty Of bestow-
ing euphonions or appropriate names on
his horses. For example, Bodine, Alley,
Driver, Huntress, Sister, Trio, the last
three being sisters and very fast.
Rarus, who WINS the first 10 lower Gold
smith Maids record, belonged to a Long
island farmer named Conkling, whose son
returned from college and was asked to
bestow a name upon the likely colt.
With a "reminiscences OF his classical studies
and a prophetic intuition of the horses
future, he chose the Latin adjective signi-
flying, "rare." st. Julien received his
name from a brand of w-ine-baptized in
%claret, as It were. Clingstone belonged to
ex-Lieut. Gov. Pond OF Connecticut, who
owned a large orchard OF clingstone
peaches, and desired as much success with
the horse rs he had with the fruit. But
terscoteh belonged to an old candy peddler
at Grand Haven, Mich, who made 1t one
OF the conditions of sale that the horse
should bear the name OF that sweet and
sticky article OF confectionery.
Some horses have risen TO distinction
under names that was bestowed upon them
by mistake. Among these is Kibono. The
owner wished TO call him Cui Bono, but
through the Ignorance of the trainer and
the entry clerk the horses name appeared
rs Kibono. Having made n success under
the latter appellation 1t was thought best
not to change II. Another horse was hap
tized King Pharaoh, u his trainer knew
more about games of chance han he did
about the Egyptian monarch, INC the ami
NAL has gone as King Faro ever since.
One horse, on account Of physical infrmi
ties, was TO be called Deal and Dumb,
which the erratic spelling Of his trainer
shortened to Defendum. As 1t costs $50 to
change a horses name after 1t has once
been entered, Defendum fourishes to this
day. Changes frequently take place, how
ever. Mr.. Bemis very wisely metamor-
phosed Bulldozer into Marlowe, and still
faster PAGERS and ~trotters have been re-
christened for reasons more or less ap-

want Of ring" says the head OF the coin
department In the New York sub-treasury,
@does not always mean hat a coin is bad

always larger than the genuine dollar.
Ring therefore means but little. The alb
