HoMEsPuN FOR CLOTHING.
Material from Canada In Great Demand
Among Men of Fashion.

Material from Canada In Great Demand
Among Men of Fashion.
Rough, picturesque material OF a
light gray or creamy color and coarse
as q towel is occasionally seen in the
streets of New York, worn by men of
fashion during the hot weather, and
usually all three pieces of the suit are
worn together. Many people wonder
where this cloth comes from, says the
World, for it is not to be found in any
of the tailor shops and is never seen in
,-eady-made clothing.
The material is Canadian homespun.
IT is not the homespun which is made
in the steam mills, but is the real arti-
Gle. and It is made on hand looms by
tho inhabitants of Canada during the
long winter here. No two pieces are
ever alike, and it is impossible to
match it," This cloth is admirably
suited for hot weather. Its rough coat
makes it look thick and heavy, but it
Is loosely woven and the wind blows
through it. Then, again, it can be
thrown into a tub and washed. This
cloth comes in all varieties of gray and
contains no dye.
The habitant saves the fleeces of his
sheep, one or two of which are likely
to be black He mixes the black with
the white wool, and if he has no black
sheep his homespun1 will be all white.
The French Canadian farmer wears
this homespun himself. 1t is so cheap
In Canada and so universally worn by
tho poorer classes there that a gentle
man from Three Rivers says: Nobody
making any pretension of fashion or
STYLE in Canada would wear the home
spun of the country. which, like blue
jeans in some parts of the west. is re-
garded as the mark of the country
man. Yet it is an excellent. honest,
serviceabie and handsome material 1
have seen it in fashionable tailor
shops of London. where 1t is sold for
a high price on its merits. 1t has an
air of picturesque distinction pos
sessed by no other material for mems
clothes"
Who has ever seen American home
spun? That, too. never gets into the
New York market. The homespun
made by the farmers and farmers
wives of Maine is handsome, closely
woven brown material, stained with
butternut juice. In the mountains Of
West Virginia also strong, serviceabie
material is made and worn by tho
''poor whites" Most of the Scotch
homespuns are make in steam mills. as
are many of the Irish. From CONNER
cial standpoint they are better cloths
than those made by hand, but they lack
the individuality of the latter, and are
not so artistic.

.eIG MAILS FROM THE WEST.

Members OF Congress from Beyond the
Mississippi Get tho Most Letters.
It is interesting to note the striking
differences in amount and degree that
characterize the correspondence of
representatives from different sections
.of-the country, says the Washington
Star. The mail of representatives
from the New England aud South At
fantic states is comparatively light,
that of representatives from the middle
states is moderate, or from fair to
middGng," and that Of the western,
northwestern and southwestern states
is exceedingly heavy. In other words,
1t seems that the people of the older
states. particularly Of the thirteen
original states, which had their exist
ence before the union was csta blished,
dean but lightly upon the federal gov
eminent and haze but few wants to
express in correspondence to their
representatives at Washin gton, while
residents of the newer states, whose
state governments were erected
simultaneously with their admission
snto the union, arc apt to look to
Washington for nearly everything
they want In the old states along tho
Atlantic seaboard the people by in
xtinct and tradition rely upon them
selves and upon their state govern
ments, while in the later admitted
states, especially those beyond Illinois
tothe north, south and west, as for ex-
ample Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa and
Missouri, the people appear 10y custom
TO be more dependent upon the general
government. Particularly is this the
case in states where conditions of
acute unrest and dissatisfaction pre-
vail from industrial or financial
causes. There the people have become
habitually clamorous in their demands
upon congressman TO procure them
pensions. sustenance and situations. to
remedy and redress their wrongs, real
pr, imagined. to tighten their burdens,
to mitigate their woes and to do other
things by legislation and influence at
Washington which can only be done
by the eXertion of individual effort and
independence. Again, on the other
hand. the southern people in the main
bother their congressman very little by
writing letters.

Death Stole His prizn.

The birmingham Post tells a strik-
ing story of the recent death of the
venerable Italian poet, Ghislandoni.
To determine how many Italian men
Of letters knew English well enough
to translate Tennyson, the Corriere
della Sera of Milan offered a pair of
beautiful Japanese vases for the best
rendition of four lines from The
Princess Ghislandoni. the writer of
Verdis librettos, won the prize from
seven hundred and nineteen competi-
tors. A fete was prepared in his
honor. but on the very day of the
award he sank under the excitement
pf his long retarded frame, and died,
gazing happily at the vases.

A BIRD OF THE SEA.
Tho Mates Story of Mother Carey's
Chickens.

Tho Mates Story of Mother Carey's
Chickens.
The mate had romance Of his own
to tell of the Mother Carey's chickens.
He had first great deal of romance
about them to dispel In the first place.
they are not lowering about the water
for the love of it. There is no poetic
intention in this continual haunting of
the salt waves. Far from it. The
birds are simply feeding themselves
And what, think you, are they feeding
upon? Upon the drippiogs of oil
from the machinery of the steamer.
which rise to the surface in its wake;
and when you see them lingering SO
lovingly for an instant, seeming to
foat upon the water and kiss it, they
are scooping up this unpleasant sub
stance with their beak The mate says
that. if you were to catch one of these
birds in your hands, you could not for
weeks eradicate the evil odor that it
would leave there. He told q pathetic
story Of a little dog which ne had aboard
skip once. and which worried some OF
Mother Carey's chickens that were
brought aboard, and after that, fer the
srScc of at least month, the little
dog hated the world and himself, and
received nothing but kicks where he
had received caresses, and thereupon
wisely abjured the worrying of ''old
sailors souls" for the rest Of his life
The mates own romance about the
Mother Carey's chickens was this: He
declared that they never went ashore
or near the shore under any circuIn-
stances; that they breed at sea, carry
ing their eggs under their wings until
they hatched and nourishing their
young there. He averred firmly and
on his word as mariner and an officer
that he had seen the bodies of females
of this species which were carrying
their newiy-hatched young close under
their wings, and the bodies of other
females with the unmatched eggs
there. This was certainly a most in
teresting story. The mate was sea-
faring man Of years, solidity and char
acter. It was shock, therefore, to be
told, Oh the authority of one who really
must know, that this is not true and
that the Mother Carey's chicken, like
other marine birds, goes far north to
breed every season and matches it's
yonng in due archaeological fashion by
sitting on the egg somewhere in the
waters of Labrador.-Boston Tran

THE GO FARMHOUSE.

Far away from noise and hustle,
And the greedy strife for gold.
There stands Ike cottage
That is low and brown and old
The dooryard's full Of pos;es,
Or the dear, old-fashioned kind,
The "lay-,ocks" and the roses,
TITS there you'll surely find
Birds from the sunny southland.
No place e'er reach SO soon,
And the apple trees. in spring time.
Are wilderness OF eloon
Though there are many children.
Within that cottage small,
A mothers love Gnds always
welcome place for all
But some amid that household band
Were tempted far to roam:
But found no place in any land
Like that dear cottage home
Stern-browed and energetic men
Amid the wide worlds noise,
Within that sheItring fold again
Are only just 1.-The boys"
Content each homeIy 10Y 70 share
While in that dear retreat:
They drop the load Of toll and care.
And find rest most sweet
They tread the same old paths again.
They climb the fragrant mows;
They watch the sunset ON the lane
AS homswarj come Il cows.
Their love ruling power displays
Puts all their fears to rout.
Their hearts are filed with simple faith
That leaves no room for doubt
When looking on their fathers faoe.
The deep trust pictured there
VIII lead them in the way Of grace.
Better than call to prayer.
God bless the sturdy. happy band,
While there and as they roam

mother, handing her little girl a note.

off and in a few moments returned with
the following: miss Dolly A. cannot
accept Mrs. B. IS kind invitation, as she
has something else to do that she likes
much better"
"Now, how can l teach thes child con-
ventional ies?" said the parent laugh
ingly as she handed the production to

Il should not call it conventionality,
but consideration for the feelings of otn-
ers. 1t is not necessary to be brusaue to
be truthful, rejoined the friend. "There

but according to its prospectus it has, or

It Is a charming idea-this odd Job
company--and the man who originated
the scheme deserves a vote of thanks for
his ingenuity. Though limited in its
liabilities, its scope Of usefulness is not
curtailed, but is as limitless as human
wants may necessitate.
