Difference in Six Cord Cotton.

When the sewing machine came into the market as the great thread consumer, unreasoning in it's work and memorable in its demands for me chanical accuracy, six cord cotton had to be made in place of the old and rougher three cord, it being much smoother. As thread numbers were already established, they were not al- tered for the new article, and No. 60 six cord and No. 60 three cord were left identical in both size and number. To effect this the six cord has to be made of yarn twice as fine as that de- manded in making the three cord va riety. The No. 60 six cord is made of six strands of No. 120 yarn. The three cord spool cotton is the same number as the yarn is made of. Six cord spool cotton is always made from yarn double it's number. Thread is simple thing, but, simple as it is, there are 2,000 kinds of it and each kind goes through hundreds of different pro cesses.-St. Louis Republic.

An Heiress in Chicago.

Chicago has some mean men in her directory. One of them is lawyer who holds forth in an office in the Tacoma building. The other day one of the scrub women who polish the floors over there received letter from "the old country" In it was money order for $50, sent by her sweetheart She,did not understand it exactly, and she appealed to the lawyer in question to interpret it for her. He told her what it was, and then, through the exuberance of a Chicago attorneys imagination, he told the elevator boys that she had been left a legacy of s30,00O. During the rest of the day the elevator men and janitors made love to the scrub woman, much to her amazement, and they are still under the impression that she is an heiress and is pretty good girl to tie up to.
