SEWING COTTON.
The Humble Origin of the Great
Thread Industry.

The Humble Origin of the Great
Thread Industry.
The origin of sewing cotton was told
at cotton manufacturers meeting by
the head of the great thread house Of
Paisley, Scotland. 1t was discovered
in 1903 by his grandfather, who had
little business in Paisley, making silk
Irvine for heddles, which were used by
every weaver. The silk came from
Hamburg, and in 1903 Napoleon caused
the stock held there to be burned in or
der to hamper British trade. The weav-
ers were in despair, but James Clark
conceived the idea that cotton yarns
could be twisted together to form the
twines.
The experiment succeeded, and from
this grew the idea that cotton could be
substituted for fax in the manufacture
of sewing thread and would not be so
coarse and harsh. He began the manu-
facture Of the thread in a very small
way. It was at first put up in skeins
and had to be wound into little balls by
the purchaser, and then Mr.. Clark in
vented the modern spools. He had them
made by wood turner, half gross at
q time. They cost him sixpence a doz-

General Washington was q splendid
horseman. There was no animal he
could not master, and he never lost his
seat in the saddle. Fox hunting was
one Of his favorite amusements, and at
the meet few Of his friends or neigh
bors were better mounted than he. He
usually rode a large, fiery animal Of
great endurance, called Blueskin. The
names of some of his other horses were
Chinkling, Valiant, Ajax and Magnolia.

tional and religious institutions refuse,
the great public can get no rebate on

ed on his copy hook. And the Beres-

mistook his shooting stick for ferule
and fearfully lacerated one of his big
girls the other day.

AND now the St. Louis brewers want
the U. S. cruiser "St. Louis" christen-
ed with beer. Inasmuch as no sailor
could be induced to board the "Minne-
sofa If she had been christened with
Minnehaha water and the attempt to
christen the Kansas ship with Kansas
crude Oil was dismal failure, it seems
to us that the probabilities are in favor
of the brewers having to be content
with the old fashioned champagne.
