Poverty of British Bishops.

If proof were needed of the accuracy
Of the Bishop of London's statement
that the members of the Episcopal
Bench, Notwithstanding their large sal
aries, often find it difficult to make
both ends meet, is furnished by the
will of the late Bishop of Worcester,
which has just been proved.
DR.. Perowne, who died at the adj
vanced age of eighty-one, was Bishop
of Worcester for ten years. and during
that time he drew $4,000 by way OF
stipend, and yet the most the Bishop
seems to have been able to do was to
live up to Micawber's ideal OF Keep
ing his expenditure just within ms IN
come, for the gross value of his estate
is returned at no more than tllzU,
which very probably represents niue
more than his life insurance.-London

TO HEM TABLE LINENS.

The simple rolled French hem, done
by band, is the approved way Of finish
ing the raw edges of damask table
cloths and napkins. Turn a narrow
hem about quarter of an inch, haste,
fold back again on the right side of the
fabric, then overland the hem to the
cloth in a top seam. When finished,
fatten and press the hem in place,
says the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Fine damask table linen is sometimes
hemstitched the cloth with two
inch hem and the napkins with an inch
hem. While this is an exceptionally
dainty way of finishing, it cannot stand
hard usage
Plain white damask is preferred to
any fancy weaves in color combina-
tons for any meal excepting o'clock
tea, or an elaborate luncheon. Some
times a plain line is handsomely dec
GRATED at home by border sprays and
centre garland large enough to encircle
a handsome bowl or vase of flowers.
While crest, monogram or initials
may be embroidered on linen at any Of
the large shops where linen is sold,
most women prefer to do the necessary
marking with their own needles.

PARAGRAPHS.

A set day for each department of the
household work and the work done
regularly on that day will save multi
tudinous exigencies of the kind that
discourage the help" and distract the
housekeeper.
Among the first things that should
be done when the house is opened for
occupancy is thorough flushing of all
the drains in the house with hot water
and chlorides, the opening of all the
windows for sun and air and a fire in
the furnace to dry out garnered mois-
ture.
There are two economies in which
the average young housewife needs to
receive caution from her elders-one,
to put on her apron when she goes to
the kitchen to cook or to fix up
dainty; the other, not to use silver
forks and spoons for kitchen purposes.
Wood, iron and plated spoons for such
uses are cheap and better adapted to
the work.-Philadelphia Telegraph.

The Onen-Air Treatment.

The advantages of the open-air treat
ment for consumptives may be thus
briefly summarized: The patient ex-
posed continuously to fresh air gains
in appetite, assimilates his food better,
sleeps more soundly and awakens more
refreshed. Free exposure TO air is the
best antipyretic. S. eating at night,
formerly so common a symptom, usu-
ally ceases. Colds are practically I'M
known among patients leading an
open-air life. Secondary infection, on
account of the comparative freedom OF
the air from micro-orga is much
less likely to occur. Tolerance of out
side air is very quickly established,
and no one who hcs tried the open
air life will willingly go back to the
former conditions of STIFFNESS. l have
never seen any one made worse by ex-
posture to fresh air. Even during
thick London fog patients get on
better lying in a bed on a balcony
or in rooms with windows wide open
and good fire burning than when at
tempts are made to shut out the fog
by keeping the windows shut.-Dr. Fl.
w. G. Mackenzie, in the London Lam
Get.

COTTON OR sAoooY IN A FABRIC
How tho Percentage OF the Adulterants
is Determined.


is Determined.
Worsted cloths are less often adul-
terated than woolens and are more
easily detected. A cotton worsted is a
lie on the face of it, for the cotton
stands out with prominence. But often
a cotton thread is twisted with a worst
ed thread, and to determine its pres
ence it is only necessary to take the
twist out of the thread and then exam
inc its component parts.
Cotton, having long staple, can be
carded and combed with wool to be
spun into worsted yarn. This is done
to cheaper the cost of production. Cot
ton is carded and spun with wool and
shoddy, not so much to cheaper the
yarn, for cotton is generally as expen-
sive as some shoddies, but is intro
duced to give strength or spinning quail
tiles to the stock. In many cases the
shoddy is of such short staple that it
would not stand the drawing in spin
ming and as it would make the cost
of the yarn too high to put in enough
wool to give that lacking strength, cot
ton is put in for this purpose.
The percentage of cotton in fabric
can be determined in this manner:
Take a small piece of cloth and weigh
it. Now boil it for five minutes in a
five per cent. solution of caustic Soda
Take out what is left and, if any, it is
all cotton. The wool will all be dis
solved. The percentage of shoddy can
not be determined except by expert
ence.
A cloth of yarn with shoddy in it is
easily detected by its feel. Cloth made
Of all new wool is softer feeling than
one containing shoddy, for the latter
has lost that new, soft, springy feel
peculiar to wool.-American Wool and
Cotton Reporter.

Force of Babit.

Ex-senator Shoup, of Idaho, who died
recently, chung close through all his
residence in Washington to one old
frontier precaution that seemed in
grained. He would never sit with his
back to a door or an open window,
but always took a seat where he could
command the entrance and where no
one could come up behind him. In his
early days in the West he had got
mixed up in one or two feuds, but
being a man of the world and quick
on his feet, had contrived to come
through unhurt. During those busy
and trouble-filled years he learned the
necessity of caution. He had seen
too many men snuffed out from behind
not to recognize the potential danger
that lay in an unmatched door or
window. The habits of lifetime are
not easily shaken off, so that even in
the seclusion of the Senate restaurant
Mr. Shoup always sat where he could
keep a wary eye on all who entered the
room.-Kansas City Star.

Wholesale Dealers Cannot Bottle Beer

Judge W. F. Sadler at Carlisle
handed down an opinion in the case
Of c. P. Stambaugh, wholesale
liquor dealer of that city, which
will be read with interest by liquor
dealers all over the state. Some
time ago one of Mr.. Stambaugh S
bondsmen presented petition to
the court asking permission to
withdraw from Mr.. Stambaugh S
bond on the ground that Stambaugh
had not the right to bottle and sell
beer under wholesale license.
Judge Sadler decided that under
wholesale license for the sale of
spirituous and vinous liquors Mr..
Stambaugh did not have the right to
bottle and sell beer. The court
gives Stambaugh fifteen days in
which to discontinue the bottling of
beer, and should he not comply
with the order of the court at the
expiration of that time his license
will be revoked.

there recently purchased of a mail
order house in the west some
blankets for which he paid SI.o5

these blankets had been made at
the Candor factory and sold to the
mail order house. And when tho y
were sold again to the Candor man
they were readily identified as Can

tags thereon, which were printed
in the Candor Courier Office. And
the price of these blankets if they
had been bought in Candor by the
farmer would have been only 90
cents each.
