COTTON AND LINEN.
Savannah News.)

We are d cotton producing people,
therefore we wear linen. The Austrians
are linen producing people, therefore
they wear cotton. Consul General Judd,
at Vienna, sends the State Department
an interesting report with regard to the
wearing Of cotton in Austria, the people
there employing cotton fabrics in the
making Of articles Of wearing apparel
which Americans always demand shall be
made of linen. In Austria fully 95 per
cent, of all collars, cuffs and shirt fronts
are made OF cotton. The material is
called 'chiffon," but it is all cotton. "In
appearance, says the consul general,
"the chiffon looks like very fine linen,
takes gloss like linen, and no expert
can tell the difference before or after
washing; only by chemical examination
Of the article can the truth be told" The
consul general went to order some shirts,
and asked for a certain kind of linen
front lyon must be an American"
said the salesman; Il can always tell an
American that way; they are our only
customers who ask for linen shirts" The
salesman asked permission Of the consul
general to make him a few shirts with
chiffon fronts, and to supply him with
Cellars and cuffs of the same material.
After wearing them a short time the con-
sal general declares he could not tell his
cotton bosom from hia linen bosom shirts.
Nine of every ten dealers in gentlemen's
furnishings in Vienna have not so much
as a sample of linen on their shelves.
It is stated that the chiffon is manu-
featured and used largely in England and
Switzerland as well as in Austria. The
United States import yearly, it is esti-
mated, ST 100000 worth of linen cloth to
be used in the shirt, collar and cuff man
ufacturing business. 1t seems that the
manufacturers of the United States
would endeavor to keep some part of this
great sum at home, il it is true that a
cotton fabric can be made which can
not be told from linen except through
q chemical examination. 1t would seem
that American manufacturers ought to
be able, not only to supply the home
demand for shirt front material, but to
complete in their own markets with the
Viennese chiffon makers. The South
will probably not be able to do anything
in the way Of chiffon making for some
time But New England, who prides her.
self upon her ability TO maintain her
supremacy as a cotton manufacturing
center because she can make fine goods,
ought to be able to beat the foreigners at
their own game of making cotton-Enen.

One reason for this difference between
the two countries lies in the fact that
Americans drink vitiated water. This is
specially trtae with reference to the cities,
where well water is often contaminated
by impurities In Europe. however, only
pure water lis furnished the inhabitants.
These facts should be considered by the
health authorities in our various cities.
With daclinate as salubrious as that pos
sessed by any nation on the globe, there
is no reason why this country should not
at least riyel Europe in its sanitary con
ditions.

She Never Told Her Are.

1t was the busy season at a great
bank. Long rows of women, some
anxious and depressed-looking, all of
them with an unmistakable air of wea-
riness, were waiting their turn with
books to be presented for the semi
annual interest. A pompous and many
buttoned official paced back and forth
with a look Of determination to keep
order or die on his grim visage. The
woman at the window was new de-
p0sitor, and there was a longer wait
than usual, while she answered all the
questions relative to her genealogy and
that of her sisters and her cousins and
her aunts-information which one must
always give to a great bank before it
will condescend to receive, and some-
times lose, your money.
At last came the fateful question:
What is your age?"
A faint blush stole over the faded
cheeks, the antiquated and corkscrew
curls quivered with agitation, as she
murmured, I'D rather not tell, please. .
The bank clerk meant business. He
had no sympathy with the maiden mod
esty Of the trembling aspirant to finan-
cial dignity. 20, but you must tell" he
replied. somewhat brusquely.
The bushes grew painful, but there
was still loophole of escape. At least
all the world should not know her age,
and, raising herself on tiptoe SO as to
bring her face close to the window-for
she was short Of stature-she said
May whisper 1t, please?" And the
woman behind will never know how old
she was.

as the light is shifted it turns to clear

fur to make this one was peculiar. Two
years ago l made a trip to the Great
Slave lake and in fitting out at Atha-

500 for 1t. 1t was along toward fall
when / got back 70 the landing and
there / lnt,.e an old trappel, who had
been hunting and trapping along the
lakes and rivers for number of years.
He seemed to take quite fancy to my
canoe, although he did not say any
thing, but was looking it over carefully
and noting it's good points, as a horse
fancier would a blood horse. Finally
he stepped UP to me and said: Say,
mister, what are you going to do with
that boat?'
"At that time | had no expectations
OF ever going up in that part of the
country again and as the boat could be
of little value to me, | answered, Just

right, too and, taking me over to his
warehouse, he got number of these
furs and gave them to me- At cash
value they would be worth many times
the canoe and they were his accumula-

After making the coat | found that
