Cotton cellulose is an interesting ma
terial. Neither alcohol, benzine, ether,
indeed they have no effect in any way
chloroform nor water will dissolve it,
upon it. A so per cent solution of zinc
chloride added to any form of cellulose
conquers it. The result is liquid of a
sirupy consistency, which will, when
sufficiently diluted. precipate the cellu-
lose in the form of a gelatinous mass.
1t contains about rs per cen zinc OK
ide and is more or less hydrated. AL
most every known substance contains
more or less water, and this is of great
Importance in the handling of cellulose
in spinning, especially what IS H cwn
as microscopic moisture being neces-
sary. Very dry cotton will not make
smooth thread. 1t is knotty, brittle,
and harsh, and twists and snarls con
tinually. Loaded with a certain amount
of moisture, it becomes soft, elastic and
manageable. On the same principle,
wool must carry a certain proportion
of grease. Without this it is impos-
sible to spin fine and smooth threads.

A Northern visitor to Georgia was
told that the negroes were responsible
for many of the high-sounding titles
of some of her citizens, and during a
drive in the country the statement was
soon verified.
They had not proceeded far when
they met an old negro on the road.
Look at him hard now" said the
Georgia man, "and he'll speak for HIM
self"
The Northern man did so. The negro
bowed low and said:
"Mornin', cap'n!"
A little further on they met another
colored traveller, and the same perform
ance was repeated.
"Mornin', colonel" said the second
man.
Still further on a negro stopped them
and, bowling to the Northern man, said:
Good mornin', judge. Could you
gimme a chaw err terbacker?"
The tobacco was given and they
stopped at a negro cabin and asked fol-
a drink of water.
The negro who furnished it was
given a dime by the Northern man. Or
receiving it he bowed, pulled at hi!
wool and said:
"Thanky, governor, %thanky!"
That's sufficient" exclaimed tho
Northern man. I've beer made cap,

This Dog stops Running Horses.


A gentleman who makes his home at
the Hotel Berkeley is the possessor OF
a fine st. Bernard which deserves a gold
medal. The dog has developed "a
strong penchant for stopping runaway
horses, and the last time the stop was
accomplished just in time to save a
party of ladies from serious injury n
perhaps worse. His master was driv-
ing down Portland avenue last Satur-
day when he was startled by a cry OF
Look out!" He turned, and was just
in time to wheel his horse out of the
way of a runaway, which was tear
ing down the avenue Just ahead there
was a party of ladies who could not
possibly escape what seemed certain
death to some Of them, when the dog,
who had been following and who SEEM
ed by instinct to comprehend the i'm
pending tragedy, gave a leap ana
caught the lines of the runaway be-
tween his teeth, his great weight
bringing the frightened animal to his
launches just as he was about to strike
one of the ladies, who seemed too ter
rifed to move.-Minneapolis Times.

Those who own and carry good
watches are probably not aware of the
tests through which fine watches go be-
fore they are sent out upon the mar
ket with the makers guarantee. Bir-
mingham and Coventry are the two
great watch factories of England, and
each struggles for the highest degree
of perfection in its line. The following
statement from an authority on watch
es will be of great interest, even to
those who do not possess high class
timepieces: while the test of excel
lence in a watch is that it obtain a Kew
certificate, it is stated that of the
watches that go to Kew rs per cent are
from Coventry, and while at Kew no
watch has yet succeeded in obtaining
the 100 marks which signify perfection.
Coventry has come nearest with 80 and
we'll maintains this reputation. That
this Kew test is no light one will be
understood from the statement that the
watch Is tested in every position and
its weight registered, not only per day,
but per hour. 1t is hung up by its pen

John Beckwith, the warehouseman,

Vibration of Railways and Its Effect on
Health.


Annoyance and temporary discom-
fort are small items in the schedule of
ills ~chargeable to vibration and noise
on railways and the unceasing and ter
rife racket of many of Jul cities. The
noise of the elevated railways has
caused commissions in children and
what is equivalent to nightmare in
adults. One lady of somewhat deli
cate organization has frequently sprung
from her bed on the approach Of a
train, and found herself standing up
right in the middle of the floor when
she awakened. 1t seemed that the en-
gineer of this train had a sweetheart
living in that neighborhood, and he
managed so that the locomotive made
a series of peculiar noises whenever he
approached the dwelling of his inamo-
rata. This was the only train that SO
affected the sufferer, and she was
obliged to leave the neighborhood on
account of it. In ordinary railway ira
vel speed is the most important item
to be looked after, and the noise attend
ing the great rapidity with which the
train moves is really a secondary con-
sideration. Medical scientists who are
giving attention to this subject are be-
ginning to demand for their patients,
especially those who find it necessary
to take long journeys for their health,
accommodations in which due regard is
had for quiet and freedom from that vi
bration which affects the nervous sys-
tenn. Special routes are mapped out,
and certain lines are avoided because
of the irritation by the clatter and
swinging of the trains.

What a Woman Says About n Trunk.


when a tells you a trunk is
light, look out for it." These are the
words of a baggage expressman and he
ought to know. He had gone to a
house in the suburbs in response to a
hurry call and found the house in a
great hustle. This lady was going to
leave town in an hour and her trunk
was upstairs and had to be brought
down and loaded into the wagon. It's
not very heavy" she said to the man,
whereat he spat on his hands and call
ed in his helper. He had all he could
do to lift one end.

he. chat when a woman says a trunk
is light it's dead sure to be heavy, and
when she says it's heavy l can usually
handle it with one hand. l don't know
why a woman is this way unless she
thinks l charge her more for a heavy
trunk, and will never find out how
much it weighs unless she tells me.
But if that is so, why does she tell me
that a light trunk is so heavy? I'll
give it up."-Nebraska State journal
