The Real Irish Frieze.

Among the various textile products Of
Irish manufacturing skill the most exten-
siyelv known, SAYS The GlOthier, IS the
Justly celebrated Irish frieze. It's manu-
factzre has come down from time immemo-
nal. The process since it was 6rst woven
on the primitive hand loom, aud the snbse-
ouent manipulation to prepare 1t for the
only garment for which it IS pre-eminently
suited, the Cotha More fbig coat or over
coat. has been handed down from one
generation Of the Irish people to another
until at the present day the rapidly IN
creasing steam power looms Of the Irish
mills are engaged in manufacturing friezes
which arc making their way by sheer force
Of real merit in the best markets Of the
world
The chief features which distinguish
frieze from all other cloths are its absolute
imperviousness to rain and its extraordinary
durability. In these it resembles the IA
nous blankets Of the Nayajos Indians
OF course we are now speaking Of real Irish
fyiczc. not the counterfeit article, which =
now quite plentiful in the American mar
ket These points Of excellence are secured
through the peculiar method Of manufae-
turing the longest and best wool, selected
from the best Irish heeces, without which
there can be no genuine Irish frieze. The
process 10 itself IS quite simple, but tedious,
demanding much time, care and attention
Nothing but washed wool Of the longest
and strongest fiber is used. This is first
dyed, and afterward, when spun, is doubled
SO as to resemble yarn; in fact, it Is a softly
spun wooden yarn, which has ~ been
treated BY acids in any manner, so that the
whole natural strength Of the wool fiber
remains unimpaired This yarn IS then
woven, after which it is put through the
thickening or tucking process, as it is
termed. This latter is practically some
what prolonged washing or sousing Of the
cloth IN a carefully prepared solution, slowly
heated up to the boiling point, and then as
slowly cooled again This shrinks and
consequently thickens the fabric which
comes from the loom to such an extent
that il becomes almost impossible, after cut
ting the goods, to separate one thread of
the cloth from the other. so closely are they
allied and so iDterdependent on each other.
The final operation is the dressing and
finishing of the goods. From this brief
explanation il will be perceived in what
the chief points Of the excellence of Irish
frieze consist Dyed in the wool, the color
is permanent; untreated by acid, the natural
virility Of the wool fiber Is preserved

MISCELLANEOUS.
ATouch OF Nature.


The district messenger boy comes
in for vast amount Of ridicule for
his slowness, and abasefor his shrewd
observations aud ways, but he is a
pretty good lad, after all, if the fol-
lowing happening in New York is any
criterion;
lone day, on Broadway, (" says an
observer, Il heard boys voice ring
out above the noisy roar of the vehi-
rles, clear and distinct, saying, Hold
on, blind man! stop still blind man!
wait till 1 get to you" Looking for
the owner of the voice, 1 discovered
a slender but agile messenger boy,
of 10 or l6 years, threading his way
through mass of vehicles to spot
just by the opposite curb, where n
gray-haired man, was standing, as if
Tiveted, with a look of wild despair
on his face. 1t needed only glance
to see that the man had sightless
eyes; that he had become bewiIdered
and was likely to be run over; that
the quick witted messenger boy alone
of all the vast crowd had seen the
dilemma and had rushed in to the as
sistance of the unfortunate creature.
As the lad brought the blind man
safely to the sidewalk, 1 could not
help thinking that here was an
expression of that one touch of
nature that makes the whole world
kin. Golden Days.

The WET YEAR.-Eighteen hun
bred and eighty-nine will go down
into history as the wet year. In the
memory of the oldest inhabitants as
much rain has not fallen in any year
of their lives as has done up to pres
ent writing. Indeed, two clear days
together is rare sight. Dull,
cloudy, rainy days has been the gem
eral rule since last January 1st. The
agricultural classes have been set
back in their operations. Corn was
planted between showers; the wheat
harvest was made under like meteor
illogical conditions; the weather for
blowing and wheat seeding were uni
formly the sameI and now corn husk-
ing is delayed by same kind of wealth
er. Truly our friends, the farmers.
will long remember the year 1889.
