origin Of Textile Fabrics.

In 1880 in village near Norwich,
England, the first twisted double
thread of wool was manufactured for
sale, although the invention and the
process must have been familiar to
cottage weavers and spinners long
before. The wooden thread was
called "worsted," after the name of
the village. Quingamp, town in
Brittany, gave to the world the use
full material called gingham. Mus
soul, Turkish town, is responsible
for muslin; lialicut, in India, famous
for cotton goods, contributed calico.
Figured fabrics known as damask
came from the city of Damascus and
cambria from Cambray, a town in
Flanders. The filmy silken fabric
called gauze came from the eastern
city Of GAIA, where the lovely flower
like women shroud themselves in
transparent materials.

It is current rumor in London that
Lord Pauncefote is to be superseded as

that Alfred Lyttleton is to be his sue
cessor. The report has not yet been
confirmed, but some credence is placed
in it by those in official circles in q

POPULAR IN LONDON.
No Nan q Has More Friends Than
Bishop Wilmington Ingram.
lnteresting Personality. Of the Young
Engllsh Peelate who Win Preach
the Coronation Sermon for
King Edward.

There are several eminent and Dig
nified English prelates who have not
yet recovered from the shock they sus-
tanned when the announcement was
made recently that Very Rev. Winning
ton Ingham-better known as the
''slum bishop''-had been selected by
King Edward to preach at his corona
ton.
There was rather similar feeling
of establishment in the same quarter
when, the post of bishop of London
having been made vacant by the death
of DR.. Creighton year ago, Ingham,
who was looked upon as a mere youth,
was named as his successor; for al
though the formal appointment was
as usual made by Lord Salisbury, it
was generally understood that the
king had expressed Il decided wish in
the matter. At the time of his promo
ton to the bishopric of London, which
is one of the most important in the
Church of England, DIR. Ingram occu-
pied the post of suffragan bishop of
Stepney, the last of the several &C.
clesiastical positions which he has held
in the East end" and in discharging
the duties of which he endeared him
self as perhaps no other clergyman in
London to the wretched folks who live
there.
Stepney, like Bethnal Green, of
which DIR. Ingram formerly was rector,
and Spitalfelds, of which he once was
rural dean, is one of the poorest-and
wickedest-divisions of Whitechapel,
but DR.. Ingram was just as proud of
his Pensioners as if they had been
the greatest aristocrats in Mayfair.
He was not merely their bishop, he
was their friend; and nothing used to
delight him more than to be right
among them as man to man. Work

among the men and boys was his great
est hobby and he formed several"so-
cial clubs" that became rather famous
and, half the time, he was off on ex-
cursions to the country or the sea-
shore with a agrimy but eNultant con-
tingent of his young barbarians"
from Brick lane of Houndsditch, Civ
ing them, perhaps, the first glimpse
they ever had of the ocean or of green
fields.q sass !. q41sge .sssT.e
He often held open-air services IN
the slums, notably in the large open
space in, front of st. Luke's, Spital-
fields, almost across the road from the
entrance to Dorset street, where sew
eral of the ripper" murders took
place, and which is known as ''the wick
eldest street in London" Ever since
he was raised to- the dignity of the
bishop of London, at the request of the
poorsapeople who are so, fond of him
and so loath to. give him up, the: d.
vine, whose office entities him to. sit
in the house of lords, made visit to
the East Side, and, standing in;his
white surplice in the middle of big
crowd Of shabby coster boys, factory
rbies' in their arms, preached them
sermon of which. the lowest of them
could understand every word. He used
jestingly to tell his .'poor people" how
busy attending to his various paro-
schial duties kept him. and delighted
them by picturing himself hurrying to
an appointment on top of halfpenny
bus or tramcar, or eating his lunch
in third-class carriage on the under
ground. In the course of little talk
which he gave at the opening of ire
formed public house" in the East end
the other day, he said that the addi-
tional duties that had come to him
with his new position were so numer-
GUS that he had to set up carriage,
so they would miss him from the bus
tops, but he promised that if any one
of them who saw him driving in his
new equipage would hail him and ex-
plain that he was one of his old friends
he would be glad to give him lift.
He added that many East end saloons
had signs describing them as good
pull-up for carriers" and suggested
that over the reformed club" be
placed one saying "a good pull-up for
bishops"
It is no wonder that DR.. Ingram has
been able to make even some of the
toughest citizens of Spitalfelds re-
spect and esteem him, for he is the
embodiment of muscular Christian
ity." His favorite recreations are not
chess and botany, but golf and BIZ
cycling and playing handball, or
''fives," as it is called in England. The
first sight that struck the eye on en-
tering the bishops former headquar-
tiers at "Amen court" near St. Paul's
cathedral, was bundle of muddy golf
clubs and a tennis racquet, and at
historic Fulham palace, which is his
episcopal residence as bishop of Lon
don, DR.. Ingram has set aside large
room in the cellar to play Gives" in.

Lost All their Effects.

Among the residents of Grand Forks
and surrounding towns who were on
the sleeper which burned on the
Great Northern train from St. Paul,
were Mrs. James Dinnie and p. A.
Lowe of Grand Forks, ana Mr.. Towle,
q business man of Reynolds. Mrs.
Barnes of Campbell, Mimi, was the
first to give the alarm, and every one
in the car was aroused in the space of
few minutes. The train was brought
to standstill, and as soon as this
was done the car filled with smoke,
making it all but impossible for the
eight passengers to get enough of
their clothes on to make them pre-
sentable. All escaped to the car
ahead, however, leaving behind tho
greater portion of their belongings.
Mrs. Dinnie lost most of her personal
property. Mr.. Lowe lost everything
but his trousers and shoes. Mrs.
Barnes lost oil her Easter purchases
and about $3.50 in cash. Mr.. Lowe lost
q shirt stud worth 5000.
The cause of the fire is not known.
It is thought one of the lamps in the
smoking apartment was upset, but
this is merely a conjecture.

He was informed that there was no

from Mr.. Marshall stating the facts,
will instruct the local officers at
Minot to warn contestants that their

ter. Last fall hundreds of these set

for the winter intending to return by
April l, as required by law, and make
certain Improvements and do other
things required for establishing legal

The spring floods and billiards have
prevented, and many of these settlers
are only now getting into the state.
Inasmuch US this delay was through
no fault of settlers. Mr.. Hansbrough
wants the general land office to grant
authority covering the emergency,
which it will probably do. But should
there be objection, Mr.. Hansbrough
intends to have passed a special act
relieving the situation.
He says there have been more new
settlers in the Minot district this year
and last than in any other land dis.

he asks you to give him light for his
pipe or cigar.
"Then get two strips of strong pa
per, of equal length, and twist each of
them separately into spiral form.
Next you must twist the two together,
taking care, however, that during the
operation they do not lose any of their
elasticity, and when this is done you
must break off the two ends. When
YOU hand it to your uncle he will think
it an ordinary cigar light. but as soon
as he lights his pipe, or cigar, he will
find out the difference.
The picture shows clearly how this
trick is played. If the strips of paper
are twisted properly, one of them, as
may be seen, will curl upward as soon
as the upper end is lit, and the smokers
wrist is very likely to be scorched, if

Great Northern, was destroyed by fire.
The general stores Of Weinberg & Co.

greater portion of their stocks. The
cause of the fire is not known, but is
thought to have started in the hard
ware store of Wick & Co.
The loss on buildings and stock will
approach $4,000. Just how much in

fire protection, but probably owing to
the condition of the. streets it was diff
