Ramie a Substitute for Flax.

A representative of a Glasgow weav-
ing company in writing to Consul
McCunn of Dunfermline in regard to
ramie says in part: Il may say that
the hairy appearance Of spur and
woven ramie goods is due either to all
Of the following points or to one Or
the other of them: If ramie fibre is
begummed more than flax the fibre is
more '%cottonized'; consequently the
woven goods made thereof possess a
touch almost like cotton. The hairy
appearance of the ramie yarn or
owe goods is a proof that the fibre
has not been properly combed-that is
to say, the fibre has not been drawn
and combed into equal lengths, and
by spinning not all the lengths of the
dbre has been caught into the torsion
of the yarn. In order to spin ran1e
like fax it ought to contain as much
gum as fax, when ready for being
hacked. This can be done. Further,
the spinning machinery ought to be
made suitable for the length of the
fibre, and care should be taken to
spin fibre combed to equal lengths.
Assuming this were done properly
with a fibre not made brittle by the
misuse of chemicals, the results un-
doubtedly would be a regular yarn
with a firm touch like fax. The
woven goods made thereof would not
show a hairy appearance nore than
fax does. Ramie has no doubt a
great future, but a regular supply Of
this fibre prepared in the state OF
fax for hacking must, in first in
stance, be created and sold on the
market at a price between jute and
flax. 1t is today possible to accom-
plish these two points, owing to the
fact hat the fibre a now DE ex-
tracted by machinery properly and
In quantity"

Seemed a Long Time.

Jim was ten years of age and OF an
adventurous spirit. Instead OF going
to school, he started out to join a
band of buccaneers, leaving a letter
of farewell for his mother. He had
gone pretty far afield when he was
caught In the rain. Growing miserable
and hungry, the young adventurer
then gave up his idea OF a piratical
career and came home very late at
night. He met with a chilling recep-
ton. The clock licked. his fathers
newspaper cracked, and his sisted did
not look up from her book. Even
his mother did not seem TO care
whether he had returned or not. Ths
cat; however, not being in the con.
spiraey of silence, came and rubbed
against his leg. Jim stopped and pet
ted it, and then In a desperate attempt
to open up the conversation he re-
marked plaintively: els this the same
old cat you had when I went away?"

Broken Leo His Salvation.

Three years ago that man was
practically given up by his doctors"
said "Win' Crosby, pointing to a
stout, well-dressed man who was
walking along Broadway looking the
picture of health. Hes a Wall
street broker and rated among the
almost millionaires,' continued
Crosby. AT the time 1 speak of. he
was completely run down in health,
due to overwork and the nervous
strain of the Street. He didn't
weigh much more than 100 pounds
and his physician told him the only
thing that would save his life was a
sea voyage to Bermuda and a long
residence on that island.
The broker hated to give up his
business, but finally yielded to ad-
vice. There was a crowd of friends
at the pier to see him off, and none
OF them ever expected to see him
alive again. In going down to his
stateroom he slipped on the brass
covered steps and fell to the bottom,
breaking his right leg. He was car
RED Off the vessel, given temporary
treatment On the pier and sent to a
private hospital. There he remained
fer six weeks while the bone mended,
Meanwhile he was put on a diet and
kept IN a room Of even temperature.
AS his leg mended, SO did his general
physical condition improve. When
ne left the hospital he had gained
several pounds in weight, and in.
creased it by taking gentle exercise.
He never went to Bermuda and seems
to be in no need of a change of eli
mate now."-New York Press.

tDuch like the practice of law. The
imam with the best case ought to win,
and when he doesn't and the man
with the poorer case does win it is be-

better how to present his case and
