TO TEST FABRICS.
eone VALUABLE THINGS FOR
THE SHOPPER TO KNOW.
How to Detect the Difference in the
Quality Of linen-Findns
Cotton and Linen
Mixture.

F!nencss OF the threads in the
weave denote the quality of linen and
the greater the number TO the square
inch the better the sheeting and the
napery.
Between the real grades It is more
diff cult to tell which is the better. and
then small magnifying glass such as
all linen clerks carry should be asked
for by the shopper. and the one who
is interested can count the threads
herself and determine which is the
better.
Threads pulled from the edge of a
piece of linen may fray, while those
taken from cotton snap when pulled
in two. An old-time test is to wet
the finger place II under piece OF
linen and watch the surface get
damp.
II the moisture does not appear. you
may be perfectly sure that the goods
is c,tton, for 1t does not absorb water
az linen does.
Another test for linen Is to ravcl
one thread of the warp and another OF
the woof and burn them.
II one is cotton It will be charred
immediately. while It Will take the
linen n triHe longer to be destroyed.
There is less chance OF being mis-.
taken in buying silk than in purchas.
ing linens and an all.silk piece can
be told Immediately by the touch.
There is quite little difference to be
considered in judging certain silks,
for some are more valuable on ac.
count of their heavy qualities. while
others are costly on account OF their
sherrncss
POngces ,ha. are beinr sold so ex.

they are thick and hcavy than when

Glass Buildirq Works.

The making OF glass bricks for build

 From all indications the Convention O nAprin 24, 25 and 26 will be the lar- gest gathering of Sunday School work CTS ever gotten together in this State, It is therefore very important and ab- solutely necessary to begin the securing of homes for these delegates at once. Our meeting Friday evening will be devoted largely to this one subject. We appeal to every committeeman to be present. We earnestly appeal to each and every family in Greater Mont gomery to take as many delegates as their homes will allow, bearing in mind the refreshment committee will serve lunch each day at noon hour, thereby avoiding the necessity of housewives remaining at home m order to prepare for their visitors.
 If every Sunday School worker will lend helping hand our Convention will be a grand success
