TEST FOR CLOTHS.
How to Tell if Cottons Hide In Your
New Wool Suit.

How to Tell if cottons Hide In Your
New Wool Suit.
To test silk boil the sample in per
cent solution Of caustic potash for tf-
teen minutes. If the silk is pure the
fabric will be practically destroyed
leaving but q small residue like paper
ashes. If there is cotton in it the cot
ton will remain. Another excellent
test is to remove the threads which
form the warp and the Woof. Keep
these separately and test them in
strong hydrochloric or sulphuric acid.
If they are pure silk the threads will
dissolve within two minutes. If there
is either wool or cotton in the fabric
the threads will remain unaffected.
Pure wOolcns are adulterated even
more than silk because they are in
greater demand and also because they
are quite easy to initiate. Many a yard
of cloth sold as pure WOOL contains
from 80 to GO per cent cotton. Blan-
kets sold as "half wool" have frequent
ly been found to contain only 10 per
cent of pure wool. There are ma
chimes today which cleverly wrap wool
around cotton threads, and the finished
product has every appearance of being
all wool. Another method of adulter-
ating is by taking cotton cloth and
"felting" short woolen threads upon
its surface by means of heat, moisture
and pressure.
A purchaser may be fully convinced
from the appearance and feeling of
cloth that it is all wool, but the only
safe method is to take home the
sample and make tests. Immerse the
sample Of so called wool in oil Of vitriol
for about two minutes. This will de-
strOy the cotton, but the wool will not
be affected Another test is to mois-
ten a sample with so per cent nitric
acid. This will turn the wool yellow,
but the cotton will retain its color.
Use the same tests for linens that
you do for woolens. If the sample is
genuine linen it will not be affected by
oil of vitriol but any cotton that is
in it will be destroyed. Imitation
damask is made today by means of
printing upon the surface, with a sort
of transparent mucilage, the designs.
These designs appear to be woven into
the cloth. BY immersing a sample in
boiling hot water and allowing it to
boil for several minutes the design
will disappear.

HOUSE PLANTS.

How to Take Care of Them When
Potted.
To make ferns grow better place
some thin pieces of raw beef close to
the inside of the pot, between the pot
and the soil. Save your leftover cOf.
fee and dilute with cold water. Use
this to water your ferns and it will act
as a fertilizer.
If an asparagus fern turns yellow,
repot it, giving it a strong loan en-
riched with one-ffth very old and fine
ly crumbled manure and add a little
coarse sand. Give the fern an hour
or two of sunlight each day. Water
when it looks dry, but do not let il
stand in any water that may have run
through into the saucer.
To destroy aphis, shower foliage OF
infested plant on both sides with
strong tobacco tea, or, if the plant be
small enough, immerse it in this tea.
Insects in the earth of a potted plant
may be destroyed by pouring over the
soil a glass of water in which pincl
of mustard has been stirred.

Before I came to America I fancied
that l should find one hong row of
apartment houses extending from New
York to San Francisco, some of them
palatial, but tawdry others lowly and
some squalid. This idea was partially
formed from reading in your own jour
nails of your lack of home life as CON-
pared with our preponderance of 1t In
England. On the contrary, found in
the localities 1 visited much that We
can learn from you Americans of
homemaking and of home living. The
amazing thing to me is what your wo-
men accomplish In the actual building
of their homes, and that, too, with
small means.-Lady Inez Stuart in
