1t is suggested as good plan to put piece
of silk through a series of tests before spending
much money for it and its making, even if
one has to buy small piece, an eighth of a
yard. to try it. Black silk is subject to many
frauds; the dye may rot the. threads, or it may
BIO weighted to make it seem handsomer or
have a frmer look, when il has really a very
sleazy weave.
To test it tear both ways. 1t ought be firm
enough to resist your strength. Rub the
threads with the thumb-nail; if they separate
easily, the weaving is done poorly. Burn bit
of it. Good silk will catch and burn slowly.
and make black ashes. Adulterated silk lights
quickly and smolders away, and cotton will
betray itself by the odor.

In thoroughly characteristic story, Mothers

until her farmer husband began breaking
ground for fine spacious barn for his already
wel-housed cattle and horses his house being
poor. little and shabby. She revolted and
changed the new barn into a comfortable

CHkT OF THE CORRIDORS

The egg-rolling festivities in the White
House grounds were hardly success Easter
Monday. The weather was very cold and
windy, although at noon several thousand
little ones had assembled near the rear portico
Of the Elk cutive Mansion. The eyer-welcome
Marine Band did not appear either, and the
little tots in the White House did not come out
to be admired. The parlors of the Executive
Mansion were crowded with family parties
taking refuge from the cold, and it was neces-

in double frill around the crown, the ruffie

the hair in the back. The trimming otherwise
is quite simple, bow of brown ribbon wired

There is considerable opposition manifested
to the Chinese treaty now under consideration
by the Senate Committee On Foreign Relations.
Senator Mitchell and Senator Dolph both op-
pose it. The Republicans see no good reason
why the subject need be reopened now, and
think any attempt 10 negotiate a new treaty
will result in letting down the bars to free in
fux Of Chinese labor. Senator Perkins SAYS
that unless the treaty be amended it will prove
very injurious to California and the whole
country as well, opening wide the door to the
immigration of Chinese laborers under the
guise of merchants" The discussion SO far
indicates that the treaty will have rough
passage before it is ratified in the Senate.

Itsecmed an age ere the lightning
again lit up the rain-soalscd earth and
created eckly glare within the lodge,
but by the dim light he saw the pale
face Of his love. She had raised her
head from It's pillow Of skins, and the
soft blue eyes were gazing directly
upon him.
In an instant he was beside her, and
as he bent his head to assure her that
1t was himself and to caution her
against making any noise, her arms
plided about his neck and she softly
whispered:
Med, darling, | knew you would
come. While praying to Heaven that
you might come TO my rescue a great
peace filed my soul, and felt that my
prayer had been heard and would DO
answele ed, and when the lightning
came saw your dear face in the gloom

whispered.

wake those who sleep near you, and

passed about my body and the squaw

plished by any other means, says the

Long time and low interest is alluring
when a new machine can be used to
advantage, or some needed implement
is offered, but II the purchase Is put of
until the money to pay for It Is athand,
these things can always be bought at
discount from the credit price that
places the cash buyer in position to
save enough to make it an object. II
the cash system Is once put into prac-
