1t is a matter OF common knowledge
that when husband and wife have
lived together for long period they
not only acquire the same tricks of
voice and manner, but they show q
strong facial resemblance, 30 they
might easily be taken for brother and
sister. Almost everyone has at least
one such instance among his ac-
quaintances. But IL is perhaps less
well-known fact that a similar re
semblalance often results from mis-
tress and servant being associated to
gether for long period Of years.
Added to the fact of constant nearnesi
there is usually on the part Of the
servant a desire to initiate the voice
and manner OF the mistress she 60
much admires. And this often ex
tents to the facial resemblance. There
are in small provincial town Of New
England two most unusual instances
Of this resemblance. Two maider
ladies live there, each OF whom hai
been attended for the greater part o.
fifty years by woman who IL more
a companion than servant. In botf
cases the women have become 20 as
tonishingly like their mistresses thai

THE GRAY WOLF.
His Cunning Is Marvellous, and He L.
Difficult to Catch.

His Cunning Is Marvellous, and He L.
Difficult to Catch.
The cunning of the gray wolf is mar
velous, and it is most difficult to catch
mapping. He somehow seems to
know that iron is associated with man.
A piece of iron anywhere will keep
him at distance. If you shoot an
antelope, for instance, and just put
your spur on the carcass you may leave
1t as long as you like and no wolf will
touch it, A pocket handkerchief will
do as well.
Lobo, a great gray wolf who was
the king of the pack at Currumpaw, a
vast cattle range In New Mexico, was
thinker as well as ruler. His pack
ate nothing but what they had killed
themselves, and thus poison was no
good. AT last a thousand dollars was
set upon his head. This brought a
noted wolf hunter from Texas, with
his pack Of great wolfhounds. But
again there was failure. Then two
other hunters came with subtly devils
ed poisons to work his undoing. Then
came on the scene. First / tried
poison, and there was no combination
OF strychnine, arsenic and prussic acid
which l did not use. / put the poisons

But Lobo's downfall came about

ANIMALS WANDERINGS.

Country Mouse and Town Mouse Fa-
BILE Has Foundation In Fact.
The fable of the country mouse and
the town mouse has a foundation In
fact. Mice occasionally migrate in large
numbers when food grows scarce and
travel considerable distances to fresh
houses. Farmers in a part of Perth
shire had good reason to become
aware of this fact when couple of
years ago vast swarms Of mice invaded
their cornfields at harvest time.
But the mouse only travels when it
has to. The rat, on the contrary, seems
to take yearly outing, In very much
the same fashion as do human beings.
Rats are the most migratory creatures
In the world. Troops of rats leave the
towns at the end of summer and spend
a month or two in the country, appar-
emily in order to enjoy the change of
food which the country affords at that
time of the year In the way Of fresh
fruit and grain. Before the cold wealth
er sets In they are all back again in
their old quarters.
Reindeer migrate with the same reg
ularity as swallows. They move south
when winter sets in, but as soon as ev-
er the snow begins to melt they travel
steadily north, sometimes for as much
as thousand miles.
TO end holiday by deliberate sui
eide is so strange phenomenon that
for long time naturalists looked upon
the stories Of the migration Of the lem
mings as an improbable fiction. Yet the
facts are beyond dispute. At irregular
intervals these ratlike creatures start
out from their homes in the Businesses
of northern Scandinavia in huge droves
numbering tens of thousands and trav-
ell steadily southwark. Death pursues
them in hundred forms Hawks and
other birds Of prey hover above them.
Thousands are drowned In rivers. Yet
the rest struggle on until they reach
the sea. They do not stop. They plunge
in, swim out and struggle on until at
last their strength fails and they
drown. Not one evef returns from this
Journey Of death.-London Answers.

Luxury, "the fertile parent Of whole

of course, but this is manageable fac
tor, says the London Chronicle. We
have only to recall personal experience
to realize the force of intellectual stim-
ulation. The interest of sport will sns-
tain men without fatigue for distances
they otherwise could not traverse. The
excitement of strife will often mask
the presence Of wounds. Self forgetful-
ness in all the walks of life, under the

duty, doubles human endurance. Sue
cess gives new vitality, new powers,

COTTON IN A FABRIC.
How to Tell III WOrsted or WOODEN
Cloths Are AdultermfeA

How to Tell III WOrsted or Wooden
Cloths Are Adu1ternte6~
Worsted cloths are less often adulter-
ated than wooIens and are more easily
detected. A cotton worsted is lie on
the face of it, for the cotton stands out
with prominence. But often q cotton
thread is twisted with a worsted
thread, and to determine its presence
1t is only necessary to take the twist
out of the thread and then examine it's
component parts.
Cotton, having long staple, can be
carGied and combed with wool to be
spun into worsted yarn. This is done
to cheaper the cost Of production. Cot
ton Ia 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 IL intro
duced to give strength or spinning
qualities to the stock. In many cases
the shoddy Is OF such short staple that
Union County courier. [volume] (Elk Point, Union County, D.T. [S.D.]) 187?-1913, 1905-02-23

1t would not stand the drawing in
spinning, and, as 1t would make the
cost of the yarn too high to put in
enough wool to give that lacking
strength, cotton is put in for this pur-
pose
The percentage of cotton In a fabric
can be determined in this manner:
Take small piece Of cloth and weigh
it. Now boil it for five minutes in a 5
per cent solution of caustic soda. Take
out what is left, and, If any, it is all
cotton. The wool will all be dissolved.
The percentage of shoddy cannot be de-
termined except by experience
A cloth or yarn with shoddy in it is
easily detected by it's 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
