asked many of the young sparks
about the town whom I soon met If
they were acquainted with or knew of
a lady named Mistress Rosemary
Allyn? She seemed to be unknown.

of her beauty and imperiousness, she
was of small means and station, and
had come to Castle Drout by chance.

and as thoughtless for the moment
as they.
Mister Arnold was relating a yarn
about Jack Howe-a most notorious
liar-who had unwittingly told the
truth about an episode of my Lady
Castlemaine's. The gossip pertaineth

To Test Wool and Linen.

It 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 a lighted match to a
sample of the goods, the manner In
which it burns will be evidence of it
genuineness.
Wool will burn slowly, while cotton
will go like 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 of
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 if
there is cotton in the wool. Dampen
the finger and apply to the surface of
the linen fabric. II the moisture Is
seen on the other side you may know
at once 1t is linen. IL 1t 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.

Satisfied With the Language.

Prof Adolphe Cohn of Columbia
university recently, in discussing the
teaching of French and German in
public schools, said that the attitude
of good many people on that sub
ject was explained to him very aptly
by a remark he had once overheard
in a street car. Two elderly Irish
women were talking about their chill
dren, when one remarked: Il won't
let my child be taught Frinch."

At 70 Years Of Age a Cadet.

1t is not often that man of seventy
years OF age goes to school. 1t is
more rare yet to- find one enlisted as
@adet, drilling an hour each day
and taking lively interest in his
military duties.
The latter, however, is not strange
when the fact is remembered that
this same cadet, William Standifer OF

of the town. We stepped hastily back

at so great a speed the mud and ofal

Nations Quarrel 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 AngloFrench convention are
somewhat mixed. The Briton Is for
hidden by his own rulers from import
ing spirits, while the Frenchman does
merry trade, selling his liquid fire
for substantial acres, thus gradually
establishing his predominance over
the fettered Anglo-Saxon. England
has a historic claim to rule in these
regions. for it was Capt. Cook, who. In
1773, gave the islands their name. un-
der the belief that they were the ;post

SALUTE FROM THE PRIVATE.
Specially Witty Remark Credited to
Representative Allen.


Representative John Sharp Will
Jams says that the wittiest utterance
that ever he heard from Private"
John Allen, for SO long the wit of
the house, was delivered one evening
in a hotel lobby in Washington dur
ing the period of Cleveland's second
administration. Allen, who was sur
rounded by party of friends eagerly
listening to his stories, was in partic-
ularly fine form. He had paused in
one of his yarns to salute Vice Presi-
dent Stevenson as he passed. The
Illinois statesman, however did not
perceive the greeting, for, with his
head bowed, apparently in deep medi-
tation, and with his hands clasped be-
hind him, he strobe on without a
glance in the direction of Aliens par
ty. Gentlemen" solemnly observed
the Private there you behold man

er Earth; nothing on his mind but the
longevity of the executive. "-Satur-
