Minneapolis we find that educational matters
have not been neglected. One of the largest edu,
cational institutions, the Electric Business Col.
lege. after years of prosperity has, by reason of
Its increased patronage, been pushed into larger
quarters.
The College is located in its new home at the
corner Of Third Avenue South and Fifth Street.
The location is the best the city affords, being
ouie ct corner in Il refined section.
The best faculty ct business educators to be
procured will be in charge of the various de-
partmenls, which includes Bookkeeping, Short
band b TyrewTiting,, Penmansh1p, Telegraphy
ice, Teachers and Physical Culture.
An attractive feature will be a thoroughly
equipped gymnasium for both ladies and gentle.
men.
The large number Of graduates holding re-
sponsibe positions is sta nding tribute to the
thoroughness of the work. An inspection of the
new quarters discloses the fact that the Electric
will be the best and most thoroughly equipped
commercial school in the Northwest.
The fall term opens September 4th Any

The Derivation ut score.

"Score" for twenty came into tie
English language about 1900 1t comes
from the Anglo-SaXon scor, the root
of shear. shire. scar and means 10 cut.
To avoid the difficulty of large num-
bcrs. accounts were kept 10y cutting
notches in n stick. called tally, and
after twenty such uotches the tally
was cut of, which thus became a
score" These were used in England
for Keeping the eNchequer accounts,
even. TO the beginning of the nineteenth
century. 4 cricket score was once
spoken of as SO many notches, and
the rind of pork is scored. The word
is first used in poem called The
Bestiary" and in cursor Mundi.'

COTTON OR sAoooY INA FABRIC
How the Percentage of the AduIterants
is Determined.

Worsted cloths are Jess often adul-
terated than wOolens and are more
easily detected. A cotton worstcd is
lie on the face Of it, for The cotton
stands out with prominence. But often
q cotton thread is twisted with a worst
ed thread. ana TO determine its pres
cncc il is only necessary 10 take the
twist out OF the thread and then exam
inc its component parts.
Cotton having long staple. can be
cardcd and comDcd with wool 10 be
spun into worsted yarn. This is done
To cheaper the cost Of production. Cot
ton is cdrded and spun with wool and
shoddy. not so much to cheapen the
yarn. Tor 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 il
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 he determined in tins manner:
Take small piece of cloth and weigh
it. Now boil il for five minutes in
five per cent. solution of Caustic soda.
Take ont what is left and. if any, il is
all cotton. The wool will all be dis
