plumage and pruned themselves, twit-
tering increasingly, joyous in the pres

and as thoughtless for the moment

Mister Arnold was relating a yarn
about Jack Howe-a most notorious

truth about an episode of my Lady

To Test Wool and Linen.

1t often happens that wooden goods
will be doctored with cotton. To dis
cover this there are several tests that
can be made. One is the match test.
By applying lighted match to az
sample of the goods, the manner int
which it burns will be evidence OF 1T
commences.
Wool will burn slowly, while cotton
will go like a train of gunpowder.
Another test is to unravel the threads
and the cotton can then easily be
detected.
To the experienced buyer the feel
of linen is a sufficient indication or
the quality, but for those who lack
this knowledge there is an old-fash-
Toned test which our grandmothers
used which is unfailing to show II
there is cotton in the wool. Dampen
the finger and apply to the surface OF
the linen fabric. If the moisture is
seen on the other side you may know
at once it is linen. If it is slow in
coming through, without doubt there
is an admixture of cotton. Another
method is to unravel the threads, as
in the wool test.

Nations ouarrel over islands.

Australia is afraid that France will
annex the New Hebrides islands, but
there are many people living in these
isles of the western Pacific who would
be glad if they could be annexed by
any power For the blessings of rule
under an Anglo-French convention are
somewhat mixed. The Briton is for
hidden by his own rulers from import

merry trade, selling his liquid fire
for substantial acres, thus gradually
establishing his predominance ov6f,

inal libel. preferred by Robert j. Thorne. as

is based ON interviews given out to the erect
that $4,000 had been offered him by Mr., Thorne
to call a strike against Sears, Roebuck q 60.
Shea made the assertions against Thorne BEFORE
the county grand jury and to newspaper men,
Mr. Thorne denies all of the alleged statements
of President Shea, and declares his standing
and reputation have been injured Inasmuch as
Shea has no stated place of residence it was
thought necessary that he be placed under bond
Despite the fact that there was more riotlng
to-day than at any time for a week. there were
more hopeful signs of the end of the strike.
Nothing resulted but the fact that negotia-
tions had been reopened was regarded as
auspicious.
The men offered to settle with business houses
concerned provided that the union men would
not be asked to pick up goods from or make
deliveries to the express companies. MI

the strike stood together. He also declared
that there was absolutely no chance that the

for the purpose Of deporting them to the United

Anglfn, who reserved his decision until Monday.
In the mean time the men remain in the custodJ :

For the writ OF habeas corpus counsel argued
that the Canadian Parliament had no right to
provide for the deportation Of citizen of a for
eign country, particularly one at the time in
friendly relation with it. 1t was also argued
that the Canadian statute must be considered
not to have any force unless the statute OF the
United States applied to Canada in particular
reference which it does not; and further, the
power Of Canada to enact such statute, leaving
the rest Of the empire without legislation on tbs
matter, was questioned, when retaliatory law
