Heroism and Intelligence.
One act of Sans, a short while before his
retirement, will be remembered for all time
by Driver Sullivan and the men of No. q.
1t was the saving of Mr.. Sullivan's life by
an act of the veteran horse that was as
heroic as 1t was intelligent. This occurred
about two weeks ago.
An alrm of fire had been 'rung in and
the horses sprang to their places in front
of the engine and hose carriage. Amer

Driver Sullivan s2rang to his seat on the

the harness of the middle horse had not
been snapped, and was not, therefore. at

sHoDDv IN A FABRIC.

How lmposition In Supposedly Good
Cloth May be Detected. -.
worsted cloths are less often adulter-
ated than woollens and are more easily
detected. A cotton worsted Is lie on
the face OF II, for the cotton stands out
with prominence, says the American
Wool and Cotton Reporter. But often
cotton thread is twisted with wor-
sted thread and to determine Its pres
enoe II 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 eombed 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 OF spinning
qualities TO the stock Ia many cases
The shoddy is Of such short staple THAI
it would not stand the drawing in spin
ming, and as II would make the cost Of
the yarn too high it 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 small piece of cloth and weigh
IT, Now boil it for five minutes in
per cent solution Of caustic soda. Take
oNt what is left and, If any, it is all
cotton. The wool will all be dissolved.
1ne percentage of shoddy cannot be de-
termiued exceAt by experience
A cloth OF yarn with shoddy in it is
easily detected by Us TseL Cloth made
