St. Martins, Westmoreland,
England. If you have looked
through the February Century
your eye has been caught by
the illustrations of Mr.. Albert
Flemming's interesting article,
bland Spinning and Weaving
in Westmoreland."
Reading it gives you a bit of
the history and literature of
Flax and Linen. Ovid, Plato
and Cattullus; Shakespeare,
Wordsworth and Ruskin are
all in the symposium. And
there is an account of a noble
effort to restore the venerable
art" of all handmade Linen.
The French, however, have
a chapter to add, for the an
Gent town of Lille, in the
north of France, has not
allowed the art to die. Mr..
Flemming's article set US hunt
ing, and right here in our own
stock we find some pieces of
handmade Linen Sheeting
grand enough in rugged
strength and sturdy honesty to
crafty Ruskin or Carlyle.
The stuff is not handsome,
but it bleaches beautifully with
repeated washings, and present
roughness gives way to future
smoothness, and the digni6ed
humility of handwork is alb
Sorbed in aristocratic pride as
it becomes the Linen heirloom
of the family. IS inches wide,
81 yard.
All the profits on all this
stuff we now own will not pay
the printers for putting this in
the papers. Two reasons for
the printing.
First. Do you want hand
made natural bleached Linens?
Second. NE aJant you to
know that this is PAR excellence
the Linen Store of America.
The bleaching of Linen, like
the dyeing of Silk, is affected
by climate and water. Lime
stone water and a damp eli
mate assist the Irish bleacher
to make Linens peerless in
snowy wilderness. His close
pursuer is the German.
Theresore, if you want white
ness in Linen Sheeting buy our
Irish. 90 inches at 90 cents. or
if you want a durable stuff
fairly bleached which is not
hand made but yet suggests it,
buy the Scotch. All 90 inches,
Soc, 81, $I.Io and $I.2o.
Linens of the finer sorts are
in mind to-day. These are
dry-goods tales that cease to
be worth telling if all told.
Some of the princely bargains
scatter largess incog. And
thus it is that the Damask
table stuffs named herein must

But it's worth IS per cent. to

certain great firm lacked a
single element of perfection in
Damasks. A competitor sur
passed them. They were in
tensely anxious to place their
goods here, but no-one point
was lacking. At last, by a
strong effort, they placed their
products in the first rank at all
points. Then they sought an

A Novelist's Bleak Study.

The great Russian novelist, Tolstoi, writes in a study as bare, bleak, cold and unadorned as are the stcppes of his native clime There is neither carpet on the floor nor drapcries in the window, nor flowers, nor paintings, nor bric-a- brac. There is scarcely even any furni- ture-an old lounge, pushed against the wall, all immense table in hopeless litter of papers, periodicals, manuscripts and books of reference, near it chair, and in m opposite corner q second table, also covered with pamphlets, but these assorted and arranged in piles. The room is divided into two compart- ments by an unpainted wooden parti- tion which runs half way up to the ceiling, and from which depend two wooden rakes-,lsed by Tolstoi in his garden, and in tho corner stands a wooden spade-above it, hanging from some wooden pegs, Tolstoi's great capped overcoat. Evidently the famous writer plunges so deeply into the subject oI his writings as to be oblivious of his surroundings. -[New Orleans Times Democrat.

A Mind Readers Early Franks,

A good many stories are told of Washington Irving Bishop, the dead mind reader. One of the best relates to his early youth. When lad he was engaged in drug store on Broadway as a soda water boy. He was, even at this time, full of tricks. He would hand out glass of soda water, and as the thinker caught hold of the glass the contents would turn scarlet and foam in violent manner. The small boy would laugh immoderately and make another soda that was all right. So frequently did Young Bishop play these tricks that the druggist was compelled to discharge him.

Indians in the International Council
 Criticise the White Man.

HI tnc COunCu
 Criticise the White Man.
 When the Indian International Council con- vened at Purcell, I. T., the delegates represent ing the wild tribes had their war paint on, and there was great deal of big talk against the white man. When the Council convened the Indians of the wild tribes wore cheap Government blankets, and were meek and still. Whatever the five civilized tribes do m council We will endorse" said the spokes- man. This sudden change was effected by the influence of the Cherokee delegates. MT. Shelton, editor of Chief Mays organ, the Talequah Telephone, outlined the policy of the Cherokee Nation upon the land question. After reviewing the story of his people for one hundred years he said
 "The Cherokees do not want to sell any of thelr lands or divide up. have proven that Indians can become civilized by retaining their lands in common. They want to live forever as they do now, and not like the white people, who possess their lands in severalty, and allow the rich to buy all the land. There are millions of whites who have no land because 0 few men own it all but the Indians are wise-they hold the land in common, so that the Indian can stay if he wants to. It is because the land systeL, of the white man is wrong that the Cherokees prefer to remain a nation. Almost every thing else that the whites do is better, and the Indian must follow him, but the land system of the Indian is the better. The Cherokees are civilized and happy. If the wild tribes will get civilized they will be like wise, and the Government will not take the land away from them. If the Indian sells his land or allows it to be divided in sevcralty, he will become wandering gypsy. Let not the Indian be afraid the Government will take his lands, for if he does not want to sell the Supreme Court will hold his title good if Congress should attempt to force him to sell. 1"

Interesting Facts About Wheat.

The superior quality of the flour made from wheat grown in the high attitudes of the Northwest is quite well-known, but it is not so generally known that the northern countries of the world where the difficulties surrounding agriculture are greatest, both in the way of production and access to markets, are the only countries producing wheat of the high est quality. It has been found to be necessity by millers everywhere who aim to produce first-class flour, to add to the softer wheats produced in temper ate and Southern attitudes large pro portion of the harder wheats grown in Northern countries, and it is said that the larger the proportion of hard wheat used the stronger and better will be the flour,
 Most of the hard wheats which find their way to the markets of the world, says Director Saunders, of the Domin- ion Experimental Farms, Ottawa, Can ada, are the growth of the northern plains of Russia, the northern United States and the northwest provinces of Canada. For two years past a variety grown i'll Russia, near Lake Ladoga, north of St. Petersburg, has been the subject of cultivation at different points in the Dominion, with the view of test ing its fertility and earliness in ripcn ing as compared with the Red Fife, the present standard variety.
 As summary of tho results it is stated that the Ladoga is q productive and valuable variety of hard wheat which has thus far ripened over the whole Dominion ten days earlier on the average than the Red Fife; that, as far as gluten is concerned, the Red Fife and the Ladoga are almost equal in value, with small balance in favor of the lat ter wheat; that very marked improve ment has taken place in the Ladoga wheat by its growth in Canada, and par cicularly in the Northwest, and that the same appears to be true of other Rus sian varieties. The experiment is inter esting, as showing the effect of trans planting wheat southward from an ex- treme northern latitude, Lako Ladoga being $40 miles north of the city of Ot- tawa, in Canada.
 Milling experts grade wheats princi- pally by the consistency or relative hardness of the grain, a character which depends almost entirely on the gluten, it being true, as a rule. that tho greater the percentage of gluten the harder the | wheat
 In bulletin No. 4, Department of Agriculture, Washington, Professor c. Richardson has shown special feature of spring wheats to be their dryness. On page 57 he gives the average water contained by eight Eastern States Hours as 12.49 per cent, while the same for | Minnesota and Dakota Hours is 8. .96 per cent. From these figures he rightly de 1 duces that, ''other things being equal, Q barrel of Western four would make more bread than barrel of Eastern. l [New York World.
