I perceived that my em- ployer yielded none of his right to the road and that the chariot was de- tained by the cart until they reached a turnout, where the cortege passed by. quired who the distinguished parsonage was who had just passed us, and was informed that it was George Washing ton. I obtained permission to run on and see if could not catch another glimpse of the great chieftain, whose deeds during the war had so filled my wondering fancy. As there was no bridge across the Connecticut river at that time, I hoped that the ferryboat might be on the opposite side, and that might reach the bank before 1t ar rived. In this I was not disappointed. I found General Washington standing on the bank of the river. dressed in a snuff colored surtout with a long lapelled vest of the same color and ma terial, and in small clothes and boots and the most majestic and dignified looking man he was that ever saw.
 While was gazing upon him one of his positions drove up, and. dismount- ing and uncovering his head, said in the most .deferential manner and with an expression of injured dignity:
 Your Excellency, as we were driv- ing along, a little way back, we over- took man with loaded cart, who oc- cupied the entire road. asked him to stop his team that we might pass by. He declined. I then told him that Pres- ident Washington was in the chariot. He again refused and said that he would not stop--that he had as good a right to the road as George Washing ton had.
 "The simple reply of Washington was And so he had! The postilion, after moments look of wonder and astonish- ment at the condescension of the presi- dent of the United States, quietly put on his hat and mounted his horse. I watched the cortege until it was out of sight, but my impression and memory of Washington are as vivid and dis tinct this moment as if l had seen the great man only yesterday"- Fred erick Alvord in the Independent.

TESTS FOR CLOTHS.
How to Tell Pure Wool, SILK and
Linen From the Adulterated.

| How to Tell Pure Wool, SILK and
Linen From the Adulterated.
Expert buyers use acids to determine
the presence and amount of cotton In
SO called wool fabric. 1t is necessary
to use sulphuric acid, and this is ex-
tremely dangerous to handle in the
pure state. Even in the diluted form
great care must be taken not to allow
drop of it to touch anything but the
fabric to be tested. as it will burn and
dlscolor. To avoid trouble let the
chemist make so per cent solution.
Ten cents worth is enough for several
tests.
a sample one or two inches square is
sufficient for experiment. Place this
in n glazed earthenware or porcelain
lined dish. Put in enough of the solu-
ton TO cover the cloth well. Then over
SLOW fire steep until change is noted
in the sample. Allow the solution to
cool before removing the bit of goods
Compare the sample tested with the
original cloth. If the former looks like
u sieve, it indicates that part of the
warp yarns are cotton; if the fabric
has fallen apart. they are all cotton,
NIilt IL oHly a litlit SelllDeII
the fabric is practically pure cotton.
If unchanged after drying in dark,
cool place, the stuff is all wool. The
acid solution dissolves the cotton in the
fabric, and its only action ON wool is to
turn it dirty red color.
The quality of silk fabrics is tested
in a similar manner, but different
acid is used, and it is not necessary to
boil 1t. Five cents worth will be
enough for many tests. Remove few
of the warp yarns from the sample
and dip them in the solution one at a
time.
If they are silk. they will turn yell
low; if of cotton or other vegetable
tibers. they will suffer no change.
Repeat the process with the weft
yarns. 1t simplifies matters to know
that when cotton is used to adulteratc
silk fabrics it is always found in the
warp.
The presence of cotton is so easily !
detected in thin linen fabrics that it
seems surprising so few women know
the test. Take a handkerchief you
know to he pure iinen. mosten the liu
ger slightly and touch it lightly on one
side of the fabric. II will absorb thc
moisture. and a wet spot will appear
upon the opposite side. Repeat the
same test upon n handkerchief you
know to be al cotton or upon an equal
ly thin piece Of cotton cloth. Unless
the finger lc pressed firmly against
the cotton the opposite side will re-
main dry.
The above test is useless in determin-
ing the amount of cotton in linen
fabric. For this purpose caustic soda
or caustic potash, ) per cent solution,
is sufficient. Purchase > or 10 cents
worth and dissolve heapins teaspoon
full in about quarter cupful Of water.
Remove several of the warp yarns
and imnerse them in the liquid for Is
minutes. If the yarn be softened so
that it pulls apart easily, it is pure
linen: if it be as strong as before inn
mersion, it is conclusive evidence that
1t is cotton. The solution causes cotton
yarn to contract and gives it additional
strength.
