What Mohair and Alpac. Are.

Mohair is the fleece of the Angora
goat, grown in the orient and at the
Cape, and is the most lustrous fiber
known. In it's natural state it is white,
and can consequently be dyed to any
color. Alpaca is the fleece of the animal
Of that name, also of the goat family
Diana is q near relation), and is grown
in South America. In its natural state
it is black, brown or piebald, with very
small proportion of white. Consequent
ly it can only be dyed n darker color,
generally black. Whenever, therefore.
You see luster dress which is lighter
than dark gray, you may be sure it is
mohair, especially IL it has peculiar
sparkle which is something like that
of newly broken piece of lump sugar.
Alpaca, being somewhat finer and soft
er than mohair, is mostly used for coat
Innings, but it is also made into dress
goods in its natural gray. 1t was in
troduced and intended for Innings, but
was taken up by within of fashion for
dresses and had a great run 30 years
ago. Its popularity gave the name OF
alpaca in q rough and ready way to all
bright goods, although most of them
are made from mohair, and many OF
them from English wool. = st. Louis

TO GET INTO THE NAVY
How hoy May Become a United st,,s
Blue Jacket.

niueJhcket~
When boy wishes to become sailo,
IN the navy he applies to one Of II.
three receiving" ships. They are the
Vermont at the New York navy ward
the Wabash at the Boston navy ward
and the Richmond at the League Island
navy yard in Philadelphia. The bovs
must be between II and l6 years Of
age, sound in health and be able to reed
and write to some extent. No distine.
ticn is made in race. and it is singular
fact that the colored boys who apply
are almost invariably able to read and
write better than the white BOYS. On
board the Vermont the only readv
test applied is contained on a cm
which is as follows:
BE il enacted by the senate and
house Of representatives of the United
States. in congress assembled. thar
fraudulent enlistment and the receipt
of any pay or allowance hereunder
is hereby declared an offense agains,
naval discipline. and made punishable
by general court-martial."
what i have just read to YOU is a
law Of the United States, and il means
that il you do not tell the truth about
your age, parents or guardians, or II
you are . deserter from the naval or
military service, you may be tried BY
court-murtial. put in prison, or pun
ished in some way"
The last paragraph Of this is what
boys are usually required to read. The
officers are not very strict about the
hard words, and so almost any boy can
pass the test. After being admitted
Uncle Sam gives each boy an outh'.
His parents or guardian must sign
paper giving him to the government
until he is 81 years of age. He becomes
known at once as third-rate appren-
tice, and in few days he is sent toa
training school Mt Newport, where he
Is taught rudimentary things about .
sailors life and work. After remaining
M Newport for six months he is trans
ferred TO one of two training ships
These are the Essex and the Allanee'
He remains on one pf these ior 'N
months and takes a cruise.
On the voyage he learns how 10 nan
die the sails, how to sew and spn~
and how to handle guns. lnnumeraor
other things about sailors life ne aso
picks up, and when he returns ne
transferred to modern man-of-ws''
where he becomes an apprentice OF 'n'
second-class. Here he takes MS p'a,'
with the regular crew, and has MS ~

FOOD ADULTERATIOy.
How the Abuse is Dealt With nj the
Huh.

From the Boston Transcript.
A little cheese story is told in the an
nual report of DR.. Charles L. Harrington.
milk inspector, TO the effect that during the
early part Of the year the first OF what was
intended to be series of carloads of
filled cheese from Wisconsin was re-
oeived in Boston and sold to reputable
dealers. Analysis of samples showed the
article to be a product of lard and SKINNED
milk. warrant was issued for the arrest
Of the selling agent who at once left the
city. The dealers who had bought were
notified not to sell, and all stopped nayment
of their checks and returned the goods 10
the agent in Chicago. Since that time, SO
far as is known, there have been no further
shipments.
THE local oeomargarine trade is now
virtually dead" says DIR. Harrington. ..ow-
ing to the enforcement of chapters IS and
4l2 OF the acts of 1891. Chapter IS pro-
hibits the sale of oleomargarine colored in
imitation of yellow butter, and chapter 4I2
prescrfbeS a number of regulations to he
observed by dealers, and prohibits the sery-
ing of oleomargarine in restaurants and
hotelS without notification to the guest OF
the true character of the subs stance served
But ten persons or firms were licensed or
registered as dealers in oleomargarne dur
ing the year, against seventy-four during
1884. Most of these ten ceased selling af-
ter short experience, the sale of colored
goods meaning prosecution, the keeping of
uncoloreG natural oleomargarine meaning
limited sales and greater or less pecuniary
less. The prosecution of complaints based
on twenty-one sales of the colored article
sufficed to drive the fraudulent imitation
out of the market. At present those de-
string to use colored oleomargarine obtain
ii on order from Rhode Island, or by order
ing through agents who have regular cam
vassing routes in the city. The tubs are
forwarded by express. The chief BUYERS
are keepers of restaurants and boarding
houses. For a time a considerable increase
was observed in the use of the article In
restaurants, and seventy-one cases were
entered In court for failure to notify
guests
In regard to milk DR.. Harrington states
that, while number of samples examined
have shown unusually extensive adultera-
tion-one, for instance, from store being
more than half water-the tendency has
been, as in previous years, constantly tow
ard Improvement This is conspicuously
noticeable in the case of restaurants The
authorizations were. heretofore, mainly
abstraction of cream and addition of wa
ter. The use of personalities and coloring
agents Ia very uncommon, and, although
more samples containing these substances
were found than was the case during the
year 1894, their use is more restricted, for
the colored and preserved specimens came
chiefly from two dealers, both of whom
paid heavy fines on several counts.
The character of the vinegar and cider
vinegar samples obtained has continued 10
be uniformly good, but few being found
which required complaint in court.

MINISTER THYRS0
The New Representative of Portugal
in This Country.
SOMETHING ABOUT His CAREER
His Wife Chats About Her Native
Land and the People.
B E A U T T U l. WON E \

Portugal has just sent a new minister to
represent her in the United States. The
Viscount de Santa Thyrso, with his wife,
arrived In this city a few days ago. The
viscount was born In Lisbon about thirty
two years ago, and was christened by his
parents Carlos Cyrillo Machado. He is OF
medium height, rather heavy set, with
dark eyes, hair and complexion. He was
educated in the polytechnic school of Lis
bon, and has been in the diplomatic serv-
ice almost continuously for twelve years.
AS an attache o: the Portuguese embassy
at Rome, he began his career and was
advanced from an attache to the position
OF second secretary, and in 81 was APP
ton. While occupying this position he was
transferred TO Madrid, and again to Lon
don, where ne was connected with the le-
cation for three four years, and was
charge d'affaires. In 1894 he was elected
deputy by the electoral circle of mis- father s
native town, Santa ,Thyrso. He comes of
distinguished family. His uncle is the
Count de Mesquitella, and is man OF
great wealth and distinction.
Not long since he was created Niscount
de Santo Thyrso, in recognition of his
skillful diplomacy. The peerage I'm Por-
tugal is not hereditary, the cortes having
decided, in 1884, that the succession by
heredity should be discontinued, and the
honor is now conferred by the king

If the truth must be told, Katie and Cox
have been spooning like sixty since they
met. The only spooning place in Dyna-
mite alley t. on the stoop at the end Of
the alley, and right under Tom Hyde's
windows. Spooning, of course. must be
done at night. Tom Hyde is a hard-work-
ing man, and his spooning days are over.
The real cause of the row, then, is obvious
AS for the row itself, well, Cox and Katie
were spooning far into the night when

Cox was SO busy thinking that he forgot
to resent this until after Hyde had gone
When he did remember it he said: Say
Kate, If d bloke peeps agin I'll push in his
puss."
Katie soothed him and had him quiet
when Hyde got back. 1t would have been
all right If Hyde hadn't said to Katie:
Say, you amt no upstairs girl; you kin be
called down."
This was construed by Cox to be a deadly
insult, and, to use the words of a Dyna-
