Varieties Of Honey.

A sore throat and rasping cough
led the writer to call in at the stores
with a view to the purchase of honey.
Lemon and honey are extremely sooth.
ing, and the overplus of the latter can
be used on the breakfast table. The
assistant said they had plenty OF
honey, got it fresh every day. What
honey is it," asked the man with a
sore throat huskily. "Twenty-one cents
a pound" replied the salesman and 1t
came out that he had no notion that
there were varieties Of honey. His
idea was that all honey was English,
and he had never heard of Irish honey,
let alone of that superb quality that
the Connemara bees produce, or OF
the heather honey or that from the
West Indies. Grocers and purchasers
should be educated in the various ex.

HOW EXPERTS FORM OPINIONS
Distinguishing Marks May Be Forged,
but the Man Who Knows Can
not Be Deceived.

A dealer in antiques was talking
about art experts. Take, for in
stance,~ he said, IAN expert in old
pewter. You think, perhaps, he dis.
tinguishes old pewter by the marks
the Tudor roses, the makers name,
and so forth? Bless your heart, those
marks are continually forged. No, he
distinguishes old pewter by the feel.
'It is like the china expert. He,
with his eyes closed, will distinguish
hard and soft paste china. It's the
feel again-his fingers trained by
years and years of study till each
one has brain in it.
Oriental rug experts have a very
subtle sense Of rug differences. Some
times they distinguish rug by its
smell-the smell of the wool and the
dyes. This seems incredible till you
think of the Harris tweed, that i'm
ported cloth that you yourself can
distinguish by its smell-the smell,
which never leaves 1t, of the peat
smoke Of the cottage wherein it was
woven on hand loom.
Wool sorters, less highly paid
class Of experts, can take up a hand
full of wool, and by its color tell you
whether it came from Texas, from the
territories, from England or from
Canada. The soil. you see. gives its
own color to the wool"
