Jim Rice, the coach of the Columbia

man.
He's SO young and tender" said
the coach, you'd never think he could
row. Why, they laugh at him at the
BARRIERS.
AS he was getting his hair cut the
other day he said to the barber visit

An Irish policeman who was also
something Of a sportsman, had been

The Lincoln is the largest and

Cotswold, but has a less-pronounced
tuft on the forehead and the wool
is closer curled.
The wool of these sheep has a
fine glistening appearance which
has earned for it the name of "lus-
fer wool"

ana not the geological classification of the ami

wool, hair, or fur. Since the classification is
commercial and not scientific the line between
these three classes is necessarily vague and
indistinct. For instance, the under covering
OF the camel may be camel's wool or camel's
hair, and so we have alpaca hair or alpaca
wool. From the sheep there are many varieties
OF wool, long and short, straight and curly,
coarse and fine, and, what is generally more
important than any of these, varieties in the

cry. Felt is made from the wool or fur In
mass, the cloth holding because of the lock
clutch OF the intoxicated fiber. Woolens and
worsteds are spun from threads, but the
threads in the two kinds Of cloth are prepared
in a different manner, and the weaving is en-
tirely unlike. Formerly, entirely different
kinds of woods were used for making
the two kinds Of cloths, or rather it is more
accurate to say that only certain kinds of
woods could be used in making worsteds. Al
most any kind of wool could be used for ma.
king woolens, although some were much more
suitable than others, and, as a rule, those least
suitable for woolens were best suitable for
worsteds. In effect, therefore, certain woods
were used for woolens and certain other woods
for worsteds. With the improved modern ma
chinery used in. worsted mills these limitations
are fading away, SO that worsteds can now be
made from woods formerly not used for this
purpose.
The wool used for making woolens is card
ed; that for worsteds is combed. The effect of
these two processes is that in the first the wool
fbers are crossed and interlocked as much as
possible, and In the second they are drawn out

several or from some

The sheep pelt or the wool plucked
or sheared from 1t was the principal
clothing Of man from before the dawn
of history down almost to the present
day. Now cloth made from vegetable
tibers, principally cotton, has a more
extended use than wool. But this does
not mean that cotton and linen are
displacing wool as an article of hui
man wear. Far from it; the use of
wool constantly advances by enormous
strides, and the even greater advance
IN the use of cotton Is due in no small
measure to the fact that the supply of
WOOL can not meet the demand for
clothing. Mankind must perforce wear
the vegetable 1bers or go unclothed,
Inc same fact is true of the product

equal the demand. Cotton. of course
