Testing WooienG.

Pure woolens are adulterated even more than silk because they are in greater demand and also because they are quite easy to initiate. Many yard of cloth sold as pure wool' con- tains from 30 to 60 per cent cotton. Blankets sold as "half wool have ire quently 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 adulterating is by taking cotton cloth and "felting" short woolen threads upon it's 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 sam pie and make tests. I1nmerse the sam pie of so called wool in oil of vitriol for about two minutes. This will destroy the cotton, but the wool will not be affected. Another test is to moisten a sample with 50 per cent nitric acid. This will turn the wool yellow, but the cotton will retain it's color.-Washing- ton Post.

Snubbed the Composer.

Gustav Mahler had a queer expert ence in Munich one day for which his name was partly responsible. His new symphony was being rehearsed, and he took advantage of an hours intermis- sion to get some fresh air. "On return ing to the building" says Munich pa per, "he lost his way and tried to reach the hall through corridor in which plasterers were at work. You cannot pass through here, he was told. But I am Mahler' (A1ahler is the Ger man for painter.) You look it. was the unsympathetic reply of the man who blocked his way. We are not ready for the painters yet, so run on. And the composer, realizing that argu- ment would be useless, plunged into the labyrinth and finally reached his destination"

COMPARING DARCY WITH KETCHEL AND
 BO3 FlTzSiMMONS

New York, Nov 10.--Whether Les Darcy is better man than Bob Fitz- simmons or Stanley Ketchel were when in their prime is being argued now. One writer, on the far coast points out sthat Darcy's record is more imposing than that of Ketchel and compares the men they both lick ed with the advantage in favor of Darcy's victims When it is consid- cred that Darcy has just turned 2l and rakes best of care of himself it seems probable that if he is not better man than Ketchel was he will be before he gets through.
 But Darcy hardly can be compared to Fitzsimmons as yet. He will have to make a clean sweep of the heavy weights before it will be time to do that. However, 1t will be no great surprise if Darcy cleans up all the Dig fellows without much trouble as soon as he finds an opportunity to tackle the job. Barring Willard there |is no one who should be too hard for Darcy. And even Fitzsimmons found Jeffries too big.
 Darcy, of lcourse, is not the hitter that Fitz was, but he maybe faster and more enduring. There is no way of telling how great this youngster will become as he continues to inn prove. FitzsimmonS was unheard of when he was Darcy's age.

The Longest Fast.

The record for fasting, so far as our best informabon goes, is held by Graine, a French murderer, who de- termined to starve himself to dsath and from day to day after his arrest refused to eat.
 In spite. of every effort on the part of his keepers, who first tried, to tempt him to eat by placing the most dainty meals in his cell and when that failed attempted feeding him by force, he held out for sixty-three days, at the end of which period he died.
 With the exception of Graine's case the longest we'll authenticated instance of fasting on record is that accomplish ed by Giovanni Succi, who lived at the Royal Aquarium, London, for forty five days without food.

MECHANICAL MANI
 ATTRACTS CROWDS

Seeing what one at first believes to be ''mode1'' or mechanical man" come suddenly to life was the thrill experienced by hundreds of men and women who, passed the P. and o. clothes shop window on Main street yesterday. When the mystery is ex- plained it appears that the ''moder' is William Crockett of New York city, who is demonstrating the quality and fit of the clothes manufactured by the P. and o. stores which are scattered through New Y ork state and the New England states.
 A feature pf the display that made decided impression with the onlook- CTS was the fact that, rather than have the clothes made to his special measure, MT. Crockett, when about to change a garment, would step from the window and at random pick from the stores stock a coat or suit of his size.

P.U. COMMISSION APPEALED 10 ON
 FREIGHT MUDDLE
State Chamber of Commerce Asks Board to Help Un-
 tangle Congestion.

The Public Utilities Commission of the state has been asked to aid in untying the freight tangle in this and oter Connecticut cities. At a meet ing of the Connecticut Chamber of Commerce at which Charles l.. Gay lord of this city, director, was pres ent, this resolution was adopted:
 Whereas, The New ork, New Ha- ven &t Hartford Railroad Go. and the Central New England Railwhy Go. have placed an embargo on carload and less than carload shipments from connecting lines, and from allterri- tory west of the Hudson river redi- ian ,and north of the international boundary line, whether consigned di- rect of reconsigned: Such action on the part of said corporations if main tained for any period, or not properly governed will cause suspension of all business (mercantile and manufac- turing) and cause immeasureable loss and suffering to all classes of the state of Connecticut.
 Whereas, The frieght congestion on the New Haven Railroad is now se- rious, although the weather has been ideal for the movement of traffic, and the condition will probably grow worse when winter weather sets in. Therefore,
 Be, It Resolved, That the directors of the Connecticut Chamber of Com merce petition the Interstate Com merce Commission to devise means to assist the New Haven Road, not only in relieving ahe present situation as quickly as possible, but future traffic congestion which is bound to arise in the coming months; and
 Resolved, That the Interstate Com merce Commission be asked to extend this relief either by means of an ac- off all trunk lines entering New York city, as was in existence early this year, or by the appointment of a com missioner to directly assist the off, cials of the New Haven Railroad company.
 Richard T. Higgins, member of the Public Utilities Commission, stated to the assembled directors of the state commerce chamber that the most inn portant questions for New England tc arrange this winter were those ot labor and freight. "New England is like a great big freight yard" he said in commenting to every mer- chant and manufacturer that aid be given the railroads in removing freight from houses at once in order to prevent serious tieups during the winter months.
 MT. Higgins also declared the troll ley service in the state is inferior especially in the large cities.

Harvest From One Ad,

Do you know what was the largest harvest ever reaped from an adver- tisement?
 It was the settlement in Pennsylva- mia of 100000 German colonists at Germantown, which was the first Ger man settlement in America. We also know that in fifty years double that many thousand Germans oame to Will liam Penn's colony.
 Furthermore, history tells us that wars and religious prosecutions in Germany caused this then unparal- leled exodus of men and women.
 But what brought them to Pennsyl- vania and so made of this the Ger man commonwealth? An advertise ment written by William Penn him. self and distributed among the Ger mans along the Rhine who had been stricken by the Thirty Years war; Philadelphia Ledger.

LUIN B. SWITXER'S
 STORE AGAIN ROBBED

Thieves broke into Luin B. Switzer's S drug store, Southport, last night, and appropriated only the highest priced cigars in the stock stock, 20 quarts of whiskey and gin, all the cocaine, nor phine and other drugs in the store and made good their escape. The total value of the stock stolen will aggregate about $500.
 MT. Switzer's store has been broken into so often and the same kind of stock taken so often that he no longer is surprised at the burglaries and never has to ask what was stolen.
