A way to test linen, by means of
which the introduction of cotton
among the linen threads may be de-
tected, is to cut off a small piece of the
material, to unravel the threads and
then to examine them under a strong
magnifying glass. The characteristics
of faXthreads are very marked. They
are in the form of cylindrical stalks,
divided at intervals by knots, in tbs
same way as bamboo or sugar cane
stalks. Cotton threads are long and
hattened like ribbon. waved, twisted in
spirals and granulated on the surface.

A Bright-Rxed FIewer Boy.

A London paper says that some time
ago Princess Maud went shopping
strictly incog. While she was walking
along the street she was accosted by a
little street Arab who was the happy
possessor of a pair of large, pathetic
brown eyes and a tangled crop of curly
brown hair. He was busily engaged in
the absorbing task of earning his living
land, perhaps, some one else's as welD
by retailing fresh spring flowers, pen
ny and tuppence a bunch The princess
stopped by Linn, and, while choosing
some flowers, she was little startled
by the lad saying, in an excited and
familiar whisper: Its all right, miss,
1 knows yer" The princess suilingIy
shook her head in a.denial. Yes, I
do knows yer" (more emPhatically).

IMPROVING NATURE.
A Fancifu1 Art Which Originated AmsRg
the French.

A FancifuI Art Which Originated AmeRg
the French.
An authority tells US a few of the
secrets of the production of color in
flowers and fruit, and we mention them.
here for the benefit of many who wish
to try such a curious experiment for
themselves. 1t is said that to color
flowers through the stalks 1t is neces-
sary to put five grammes Zone gramne
is equal to Is grains) of any cOloring
matter into a vessel which will hold
about ten grammes, to bruhse the tip Of
the cut stalk with light tap with
hammer, and then to put the stalk into
the vase for q longer or shorter time, ac-
cording to the depth Of the coloring re-
quired. Two hours after this contact
with the dye the tinting of the flower is
accomplished. On taking the blossom
from the vase it is advisable to cut off
the bruised part of the stalk and soak
the flower for an hour or two in a vase
of clear water. To tint white dubious
plants, fill vase with so granues of
clear wRter, stir the mixture up well,
then, after slcing the bulb with a pen
knife in one or two places and cutting
off the tips Of the roots. leave it sleeping
in the tincture until the flowers begin
to color. Then replace it in the pot,
covering it with little moist earth, and
he flowers viii finish coloring there.
Fruits, as well as flowers, can be arti-
ficially colOrsd, and sometimes this is
done for the purpose of adulteration,
as, for instance, when Piums are too
green they are coated with acetate OF
copper and sulphate of copper.
When too pale, lemons are tinted up
with citronine and "napthol yellow"
the green spots being Unlisted with
diamond green" Strawberries are
eolored by sprinlling them with ''sulfo-
fuchsine" or f'rhodomine." Peaches re-
ceive a beautiful coloring from mix
ture Of ''rhodomine" and ''citronine,"
applied with brush, using a zinc stem
Gil plate pierced with holes. In melons
a tube is introduced through which
''atrcpeOline" and orange azO," with
a little essence of melon. is put into the
center. Very pretty varieties of apples
and pears are contrived by using a lit
tie aniline dye. These devices may make
bad fruit salabIe. but are not examples
20 be copied. unless for the sake of MAX
ing a curious experiment. - Home

COOPER, BALD AND SANGER.
Crack Cyclists Who VIII Try Issues n
Nanhae4an Beach.
Nc great mateh race between dc sd

Crack Cyclists Who VIII Try 1G8uea Is
A1anhastan Beach.
The great match race between the crack
cyclists, Bald, Sanger and Cooper, which
is to take place at Manhattan Beach, N
Y, July IS, is much talked about Just
now. There will be no fOolshness
about this race. 1t will be for blood.
That is what all the Wheelmen say, at any
rate The interest which centers in these
three candidates for the seasons cycling
honors is widespread and intense. The
fact that the season is still young-too
young for prophecies-adds to the excite
ment which the contest creates.
Tom Cooper's great work on various
tracks has placed him high among the
favorites He will come fresh from his
victories to struggle for the Manhattan
Beach prize His friends say that he viii
take it, but none of them thinks he can do
1t without putting forth his mightiest eff
fort.
Eddie Bald, whom the Buffalonians
worship, has sustained some defeats and
won some victories. However, he is right
and fit, as happy as lark and as firm in
the saddle as he ever was in his life.
Walter Sanger, the famous Milwaukee
rider, seems to have struck his old time
form. Recently he has won many races,
beating some of the cracks of the country.
In every instance he showed much of the
speed that made him famous two years
ago. 1t is a well known fact that Sanger
is a hard man to get in condition, but
when fit he is almost invincible This
fact was demonstrated three years ago at
Detroit, when he beat Zimmerman again
and again Now that the Milwaukee 1ier
has struck winning gait he may be made
a favorite over both Bald and Cooper.
But, no matter how the odds are placed,
there is certain to be a redhOt race. The
event will be paced throughout

In the dark piazza corner
Swsys q hammock through the night,
And within its eaDgling meshes
Lies a meiden-'tout Of sighti'
Sheltered in the same snug corner
Where the light is none too clear,
Gently swinging this fair maiden,
Sits man, in chair drawn near.
From the west the silvery crescent
Throws soft kisses to the trees.
And they murmur back message,
Lightly stirring IN the breeze
