drilling himself in European military
methods and tactics. European officers
are teaching him. European rifles and
ammunition are pouring into the coun-
try in ship loads, despite the terms OF
settlement, and some day-it may he
twenty years-there will be another
Chinese outbreak.
The next time it will not be easily
suppressed. If at last it is suppressed
the Chinese will sit back again, apollo
gize a few more, and make their prep
arations on still greater scale. There
are hundreds of millions of people all
of one mind about foreigners. 1t is
impossible to defeat people like the
Chinese permanently.
There is constant strife between
railway and mining syndicates all over
the country where Europeans have en-
tered. Vast sums have teen expended
in surveys. The Russians had the
whip hand in the north until the Anglo
Japanese alliance put a check on
them, but the Russian and the China
man have a good many traits in COM
mon, notably in their talent for wait

knives stained, the coffee thick, the
bread heavy, the steak burned and
nothing hot or inviting.
1t may be his own fault to some ex-
tent that the piano is unopened but
it is not his fault that her hair is u11-
dressed, for in sheer self-respect she
should have found the instant to ar
range a neat toilette, and to snatch
some dainty neckgear from that
upper drawer of hers, which is
usually in no more confusion than her
mind; and it is not his fault that
the food he has provided is made I'M
fit to eat and the house unfit to eat
it in.
Is there not a kind Of dishonesty in
such stewardship of the goods in
trusted to her? Is there not a trait
of dishonor in the appearance of this
untidy and unloveIy creature in the
place Of the charmer VINO once
charmed him so wisely?
There are countries inhabited by bar
barians, and by the semi-civilized,
where such conduct as that Of this
indolent woman would give her hus-
band the right to put her away for
ever. Here it acts in precisely OPP
posite way, as it has the power to
send him away to scenes that are
more to his mind. AID the woman
who then finds herself in neglected
home has no one to thank for it but
herself. There is an old Scotch song
that portrays the joy wife feels in
the return of her husband from a long
Illness:
Oh, hand me down my biggon-
Ny bishops satin gown.
she cries; and also that the whole
house shall he festal,
Gle little Kate her cotton gown,
And Jock his Sunday shoon.
and the poor fish wife of the bIithe
song knew more of the effect of what
the boys called "glad rags" than the
slovenly wife ever thinks best to put
in practice; for as nothing but death
excuses one from dinner engage
ment, nothing but sickness unto
death excuses a woman from breaking
her engagement to make herself and
her house pleasant and attractive to

SIMPLE TESTS FOR CLOTH.
How Shopper Can Tell Whether She
Gets What She Wants.

! TOW SnopPer Gan ell Whether She
Gets What She Wants.
None but the expert" said a dress
maker who figured prominently at the
recent convention, can distinguish
the quality of a piece of goods on in
spection. 1t takes long experience to
acquire that intuition, as it were. by
which the choice is known fl m the
Indifferent. Not all, by an. means
ever acquire the faculty, anG those
that can are able to command large
salaries as buyers. On the other hand
shoppers are constantly deceived by
fragrant impOstures, which, by the op-
Grafton of few simple tests, can cas-
lily be detected.
! of the goods sold as all wool
there is not one-tenth that is genuine.
In the greater part, the main compO-
nent is cotton. The test is simple. All
that is necessary is to pull out few
threads and apply a lighted match.
Cotton will go off in a blaze; wool
will shrivel up.
ITO distinguish true, pure linen
from the counterfeit article is even
easier. The intending buyer need but
wet her finger and apply it to the
goods. If they be pure linen, the
moisture will pass straight through;
the spot touched will be soaked at
once, and almost Immediately one side
will be as wet as the other.
Frauds are more numerous in silk
than in any other fabric, but here, al
so, the material Of adulteration is cot
ton. It's presence can readily be dis
covered. Draw a few threads out.
The pieces of cotton will snap off
short when pulled, while the silk will
stretch and permit a considerable pull
before breaking.
Silk, cotton and wool, these are
the three materials of cloth, and by
the methods given, the purchaser can
at least make certain that she is OBJ
tanning what she paid for.
Concerning silk, it may be re-
marked that the stuff our grand
mothers used to talk about that stood
by ITSELF is not necessarily the best.
Modern ingenuity has devised means
Of giving the poorest article the body
requisite for this purpose.
"Shellac and other sticky substances
mixed through the fabric, will produce
as stiff a silk as ever graced the closet
of an ancestral mansion. Such stuff
is quite worthless. 1t rots away in no
time. AS a1matter Of fact, the silks
most priced at preseht are of the soft
variety. with no mOrs rigidity than
muslin.
"Counterfeit, machine made lace is
often offered as the genuine hama
made article. At first glance, it is
Identical with the real thing. Even
one who is not an expert, however
can distinguish the difference with a
little care. Machine lace is always eX-
actly regular in its pattern, every fig
ure the same shape, length, thickness,
and so forth. In the hand made article
there are always little Irregularities, ,"
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1902-10-30

Every man when he marries, be he
ever so hard-headed, INDUCES him
self in some sort OF dream regarding
the home that is to be his, with
something in his dream of an ideal
sort, if he allows the word ideal. He
is out and about in a stormy world Of
effort of strife, Of attainment; he is
breathless from the struggle, so to
say, and tired of the. turmoil, and
it is to go into the chamber called
Peace.
Not a care is to f1utter it's dark
wings there; all is to be sanity and
sweetness and gentle grace and
gayety. His wife, in that dream, al
ways wears a calm and trustful smile:
she always wears pretty clothes, too;
ing effect; she is alwayt as she
should be, spotless and soignee.
! There is no disorder anywhere in her
region, no loud or sharp tone marks
the silver Of her voice; all the wheels
of her housekeeping move noiselessly
and smoothly; all her ways are pleas
| antness and all her parts are peace.
| When he wishes to go out with her
| she is ready on the moment; when he
wishes to stay at home he sees her
| in the low chair opposite with the
pretty work basket, or she goes to the
piano for the new song, never having
| suffered herself to fall out of practice
in her music. She never grows old; ;
! she never grows unlove1y, in his
| thought; sorrows may come, and
trouble, and years will pass, but she
| is to be always the beautifully de-
veloping flower of the girl he loves.
What would he say to himself
then, if he could look into futurity
with any prescience and see her at
! the breakfast table, in her slatternly
morning gown and with her hair
twisted up carelssly, while she could
write her autograph in the dust on
every plain surface in the house. and
| two of them on the piano? What,
