The Best Plan Is to Try 1t by Fire When
the Smoke VIII Detect Cotton.

Aho Dcbt han - w IL Dy FIRE w men
the Smoke Will Detect Cotton.
The first thing to do is to try to tear
1t, both lengthwise and crosswise If it
gives way readily in either direction, be
sure either that the dye has destroyed
the strength or that the thread is COM
posed in part of what is technically
known as silk waste. Pure silk, proper
ly dyed, is the strongest known fiber.
Next test the firmness of weave by
scraping diagonally across the fabric
with the thumb nail. If it is durable
and worth buying the threads will not
slip for any amount of manipulation.
Otherwise the thumb nail will soon
make space of loose threads as big as
itself
After that ravel out bit of the silk
and look carefully at the quality of both
warp and Wool The pure silk, unload
cd, is of lively luster and very soft to
the touch. If the luster has been arti-
flcially produced, the fiber feels harsh
and brittle. If it is silk, but loaded with
metallic dye the fiber looks like cotton,
bat is somewhat softer.
Another test Of quality is to pull out
threads both ways and try their strength
between your fngers-that is, catch
them with both hands about an inch
apart, give quick outward jerk and
note the force necessary to break them.
Then try to tear the silk along the lines
that the threads came out of. If it parts
so difficulty that there are Fuckers along
the tear, it is proof that it will wear
decently well.
The supreme test of all, though, for
either weighingo or adulteration of fiber
is to burn fragment Of the stuff and
also some Rawlings of it. If it is pure
and properly dyed, it will take fire with
difficulty, even when held directly in
the flame. twill go out almost as soon
as the flame is withdrawn, leaving ashes
that are nearly jet black.
On the other hand, weighted silk is
almost dangerously infiammable. 1t
takes fire readily, and once burning will
smolder through the piece, leaving ashes
that keep the shape of the cloth and are
Of light yellowish red color. If there is
cotton mixed with the fiber, the smell
of the smoke will betray it.

1t will be seen that within four years

$103, 824, 500. In this connection it is
interesting to compare the amount of
the national debt, less cash in the treas
ury, and also the per capita debt, as

Oil of Lavender

The production of lavender for distillation
is an important branch of the industry. In
the county of Surrey, England, there are sew
eral large lavender distilleries. To these the
growers carry their harvestings, to be sub
jected to the necessary process. The oil is
contained in glands situated chiefly on the
calyX, corolla and leaves, but also to a less
extent on the branches and flower stalks.
In the process OF distilation two hours
are allowed for the first run" This run
gives the clearest and best oil, and when of a
very high quality it is almost colorless. For the
second run four hours are allowed, the oil
produced being of a pale amber tint and hav
ing Il stronger, coarser odor than that which
results from the first run.
When the highest quality of oil is desired
flowers only are used IN the process. The
quality of the oil secured depends also on the
kind of season in which the flowers have been
grown. Sunless summers result in much
reduced quantity and inferior quality.
The are many acres of land throughout the
kingdom. producing at present only scanty
crop of grass, which might be used for the
cultivation of the lavender plant. The de-
mand for it is practically unlimited and there
is, therefore, little danger of its being pro-
duced in such quantities that the price would
fall below a remunerative level.-Chambers'
