Coats THAT Last a Century.

To wear your grandfather's coat

10 John Chinaman il is the greatest
felicity. Not only is the common look

The clothing usually worn by the Chi
nese is Of the purest silk and costs any
where from 500 to $3.50 suit.
As a nation the Chinese object 10
wearing clothing OF any other kind. and
centuries of experiment have taught
them how best to make up the costly
caterpillar thread into the most dura-
bic form. On this account the Chinese
dress. though Of .purer- material. has
none Of the sheen usually associated
with silk, q popularity which has re-
suited In the erroneous ideas as to their
composition. All the garments are
made in China and are only exported
fer the personal use Of Ceiestials In
foreign countries.
Owing to their cost. however. they
are only purchased at long intervals.

character that they are handed down

Many people believe that horses do

that ON several occasions they will
shed tears as well as express sorrow 10
the most heartbreaking manner. In
the west. where the hardness OF the
ponies causes the riders to almost over
look the necessity of providing for their
needs. IL is quite common when the
weather is extremely cold to leave an
Lrblanketed pony tied up for two or
three hours when the temperature IS
nearly zero and while its owner is
transacting business or getting drunk.
In this case the suffering is evidenced
by the cries. which are almost like
sobs. and unmistakable tears freeze on
to the cheeks like icicles.
When a horse falls in the street and
gets injured. the shock generally numOs
the senses so much that II does not Ell

Cost of n Loaf of Bread.

bread sold by bakers. says a college

one pound one ounce. A pound loaf OF
bread can be made from about three
quarters OF a pound of -four. about p
per cent OF water being added to the
-four during the process OF breadmak.
ing. With some hOurs > to 10 per cent
more water can be absorbed. making
a greater weight of bread from n given
weight of -four. This additional weight
is water and not nutrients.
A; cents pound for -four II is es-
timated by the professor that a pound
loaf OF bread can be made. not count
ing fuel and labor. for about cents. a
half cent being allowed for shortening
and yeast The loss of dry matter in
breadmaking is usually considered as
amounting to about 2 per cent OF the
-four used. In exceptional cases. as In
prolonged fermentation. under savora-
BILE conditions the losses may amount
to per cent or more.

The Most Ancient Machine Tool.

There can be very little doubt that
the potter's wheel. or potter's lathe, as
il is also termed. represents today the
most ancient form OF machine tool
known. Among the many scuiptured
records of the trades and occupations
which so vividly represent the customs
and habits OF the ancient Egyptians
the potter and his wheel have been
found frequently depicted. and it Is
curious to note that through the al
most countless generations since that
time this crude type OF lathe has under
gone no material modification
The primitive form was evidently a
small. round table set on pivot and
free TO reYolve. being turned by hand
AT intervals. and 10 this device there
were added in the course OF time such
simple convenienees as a table TO sup
port Il aud a foot or hand power turn
ing arrangement. displaced in recent
years in possibly n few isolated cases
by actual engine power driving In
general use. however. the pOtter's
wheel of the present time bears all the
characteristics OF the one which. 1000
years or more ago. served TO turn out
pottery attesting indispensable taste
and skill.-CaSsier's Magazine.
