TRICKS IN THE SILK TRADE.
How Shoppers Are Fooled-Tests
Which Show the Pure Material.

How Shoppers Are Fooled-Tests
which show the Pure Material.
Pure silk, when 1t has been through
all the processes necessary to bring out
all its good qualities, is worth its
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 1t 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 in them that the
greatest skill Is exercised to deceive
the buyer. To obtain the required :us-
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 film
sy silk material by using metallic salts
in the dye watts. Pressing with some
kinds of silk increases the weight also,
but ut 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 of 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
a 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
when silk is offered for the price Of cot.
ton. You need not bother to test that
stuff.-New York Sun.

FIRE At MILTON.
ID. A. COFFIN'S BUILDINGS ENTIRELY
DESTROYED FRIDAY.

Friday morning between Z and s
O'Clock the buildings owned and occupied
by d. A. Coffin Of Milton Plantation
were totally destroyed by fire. The fire
caught in the attic probably through
some defect in the chimney. But very
little was saved from the house but all
the live stock in the barn was saved.
There was 81, 1000 insurance on the build
iugs and $500 insurance on the furniture.
The buildings were comparatively new
and cost something over $4,000. Mr..
Coffin had some l25 bushels of potatoes
in the cellar, a barrel of pork lately put
in, and some 100 jars of preserves, be-
sides other things usually in farmhouse
cellar.
Mr.. Coffin is quite an extensive farm:
er, having SOM 240 acres of land, and
being in the village of Milton Plantation,
takes number of mill hands as board
ers. The house and barn were connect,
ed and were large and roomy. He
probably will rebuild.

GENEVA. SWITZERLAND.
Extract from private letter Of Hon. Dudley
Bailey of Everett, Mass.)

Extract from private letter Of Hon. Dudley L.
Bailey of Everett, Mass.)
Geneva is very cosmopolitan city,
about 1925 feet above the level of the
sea, with drinking water as pure and
clear as the crystal stream which pro-
ceeds out of the throne of God. There
are many wine shops and much drink
ing, though but little drunkenness.
One Sunday | attended the Russian
church, a small building, but the most
beautiful one in the city, a gem, very
oriental in style. When | entered there
were perhaps dozen persons present.
An attendant was going through with
part of the ritual, and the choir was Sit
ting on one side gossiping and laughing
after the manner Of some other church
choirs.
The space for the audience is an open
court, with few chairs and benches
around the sides. Most of the worship
ers remained standing or kneeling and
frequently crossing themselves as the
service proceeded, while the priest, who
for the most part remained in the inner
court behind latticed door, chanted the
service, to which the choir chanted re-
sponses, remaining standing during the
whole service. The latticed door was
open part of the time. From time to
time some worshipper would get one or
more tapers from an attendant and light
them, and place them before the altar,
or give the attendant a franc each to do
it. The franc must be paid in either
case.
At the close of exercises the priest ad-
vanced into the main audience room,
bearing the cross, which the worshlpers
advanced and kissed, some of them buy.
ing a biscuit which had been consecrated
with holy water TO send to sick friend.
Most of them preferred their money to
this treasure.
After this service we went to Calvin's
cathedral. which was formerly a Catho-
lie institution, but now belongs to the
national Calvinistic church. This city
can no longer be regarded as the strong
hold of Professionalism, as about half the
population are Catholic A national
church is generally lifeless church,
and the most aggressive religious work
here is done by the dissenting bodies.
The Catholics are helped by the large
number of French immigrants. Nine
out of every ten persons speak French,
though many speak English and Ger
man, and the sign English spoken" is
very common on the store doors. Amer
lean trade is much appreciated here, and
Americans are trusted almost indiscrim-
inately, without taking name or address.
There is a vigorous Young Mems Chris
tian Association here, and good deal OF
solid religious work.
A few days ago we walked up Mount
Saleve. The ascent was quite steep by
4 narrow pathway, and part way by a
stairway. We enjoyed fine view of the
lake, and most ethereal view Of Mont
Blanc in the fading light of the after
noon, looking like vision of something
in fairer world dimly revealed to NOR
tai eyes for moment-.he New Jerusa-
lem descending out of Heaven from
| God.
Another trip was bicycle ride along
the shores of the lake, where observed
some fine views of Mont Blanc, and on
the northeast side delightful view OF
the Jura Mountains.

LINCOLN ADOPTED 1T.
His Famous Phrase, "Of the People,
Originated by Theodore Parker.

Originated by Theodore Parker.
William II. Herndon, Lincoln's law
partner, knew Theodore Parker well
and had much correspondence with
him, and after the Lincoln Douglas de-
bate he came on to Boston and saw
Parker and other antislavery men with
an eye to Lincoln's political prospects.
Going back to Springfield, he took with
him some of Parker's newer SERMONS
and addresses. lone Of Them" he
says in his abraham Lincoln" was q
lecture on The Effect of Slavery on
the American People, which was de-
livered in the Music hall, Boston, and
which gave to Lincoln, who read and
returned it. He liked especially the
following expression, which he marked
with n pencil and which he in sub
stance afterward used In his Gettys-
burg address: Democracy is direct self
government, over all the people, by all
the people, for all the people," The
address referred to Parker's last great
antislavery address, was delivered July
4, 1858.
Here, submit, was the probable orr
gin Of Lincoln's phrase In one variant
or another 1t was great favorite with
Parker, often taking the exact form
that Lincoln gave it, with his sure in
tuition Of the best where there was any
choice Of words. In speech delivered
by Parker in 1850 we find it imbedded
In passage which might have been
the inspiration of Stewards famous
"irrepressible conflict" or Lincoln's
"house divided against ITSELF" view
to which Parker continually required.
In two other speeches it stands gov
eminent of all the people, by all the
people. for all the people" Its earliest
appearance that have discovered in
his writings is in letter to Rev. Sam
uel j. May in 1S4S, where 1t is simply
government Of all, by all, for ALL
Review of Reviews.
