The Cherokees have at last
r made a move in the right direc-
Sien ia the matter of the rights of
freedmen to share in the lands Of
the tribe. If the very best legal
talent obtainsble had been en-
ployed years ago and the matter
thoroughly tested in the courts
the result would no doubt been
different. The forcing Of the Cher

ArtinciaI Legs.

The most lifelike and Seryiceable ar
tifcial legs in the world are manufac-
tured in America. Enormous quanti-
ties Of these limbs are shipped to Eu-
rope every year
The first great boom in the artificial
leg business was brought about by the
civil war. Since that time railroad and
trolley car accidents have kept up an
ever increasing demand. Another fac
tor has been the general use Of antisep-
tics. The mortality among those who
have their legs amputated is far less
than formerly, and a large proportion
Of the Survivors become patrons Of the
wooden leg factories.
The old fashioned peg leg is practical
" a thing Of the past. The modern ar
tifcial leg shows q great advance over
the old forms. Every Improvement has
been with the idea Of greater SIMPLE
tty. s
The main object Of the manufactur-
ers is to improve the at Of the legs.
The best models now cost 500. It
costs from $byto $25 q year to keep one

the other hand, it Is becoming more

TRICKS IN THE SILK TRADE.

How Shoppers Are FOOled-Tests

Pure silk, when it has been through

all it's good qualities, is worth it's.
weight in silver, said an expert the
other day. Therefore the women who
expect to buy pure silk at little more.
than the price of cotton must expect to
be fooled, and there are lots of ways by
which the manufacturer gets even with
| them.
They make stuff that is called silk
and passes for it with credulous per-
sons who don't know any better out Of
nearly any old thing now. One favor
lite imitation silk is made Of cellulose
| treated with chemicals. 1t isn't good
material to get on fire in. Then there
are south sea island cottons and some
mercerized cotton which after treat
ment look something like silk, though.
of course they wear very differently,
and their silken appearance soon van
ishes
But it is in adulterating goods which
really have some silk i'll them that the
greatest SIKH is exercised to deceive
the buyer. To obtain the required rus
tie and body rough floss is often used
for the wool of the material. This soon
causes it to wear shiny.
Another trick is to increase the
weight and apparent solidity of a finn
sy silk material by using metallic salts
in the dye vats. Pressing with some
kinds Of silk increases the weight also.
but at the sacrifice of strength. Cheap,
crackly, stiff. silk which has heavy
cords is good silk to avoid. 1t won't
wear.
There are several tests which reveal
readily the purity offa piece of silk.
The microscope of course will show it
at once. even to an Impractical eye.
Pure silk has the appearance of fine,
smooth tubes. Another good test is by
burning. Pure silk burns slowly. with
slight odor. Cotton flares up quickly
and would throw off a decidedly disa-
greeable smell. -
Then the tongue will readily reveal
the presence of metallic salts. There is
no mistaking their taste. But all these
may be disregarded, said the expert, I
when silk is offered for the price of cot-l
ton. You need not bother to test that
stuff. New York Sun.
