whv Wool II Warm

The main difference between wool
and linen is that wool Is animal and
linen is vegetable and that the fiber OF
wool is irregular. When the irregular
fiber of the wool is woven 1t contains
certain little cells which hold neutral
LAYER Of air. The linen has no such
cells. This layer Of air which the
cells make is like an invisible coat
that keeps the normal heat Of the body
from leaving it and that at the same
time keeps the atmosphere which Is
colder than the body temperature from
entering 1t.
This layer of air is, as some writer
has put it, a little gaseous armor.
II wooden yarn is rendered straight
and regular by some special treatment
in the mill and is woven like linen II
Is only very little warmer than linen.
That little is due to its being animal
which has always more warmth to 1t
than the vegetable product

Diedrich Kniekerboeker.

It may be that Dutchman named
Knickerbocker did live in the early his
tory of New York, but If he did there
are no records extant to prove 1t. Inc
truth is, the name was created by
Washington Irving, who applied It to
all residents Of New York In his time
who happened to be descended from
the early Dutch settlers. Irving used
this quaint Dutch character In his
"Knickerbocker History Of New York
to burlesque the early days Of the city.
The volume purported to have been the
work of Diedrich Knickerbocker and
gave an amusing and satirical account
Of the early Dutch settlers. Records
of the period tell US that the book bit
terly offended their descendants, who
never forgaye Irving for his fling at
them.-New York Times.

Eating an Egg.

Is there any corner Of the earth
where the LONELY egg has not found
it's way? 1t forms substantial food
to all nations, and it is not curious that
different nationalities have different
ways Of demolishing this eatable.
Eating an egg with a spoon would
be sacrilege to a Spaniard. He boils
his egg just one minute, then breaks
the contents into a glass and drinks 1t
as If it were wine. The Italians place
their egg in cold water and remove 1t
just as the water boils. Then they
break 1t on a plate and eat 1t with
bread.
English cooking prevails in France
in regard to the egg. Three minutes
in boiling water is the rule. 1t is then
broken into a glass and mixed togeth-
er with salt, pepper and butter.-Lon-
don Mirror.

All Americans.

In the present crisis which the United
States faces there are and should be only
Americans, supporting the administra-
ton. Technically we are not yet at war
with Germany, but we may be actually
so at any moment What that will mean,
no man can tell. We are a great nom
military nation, loving peace. hating
war, aud unprepared for war, but we
have already submitted to more than
self-respecting people should stand, and
war seems to be forced upon US. We can
at least have the satisfaction OF feeling.
not only that we are fighting for own
rights as a people, but In this great
world war we are fighting against the
domination of the world by Prussian
militarism, and for the cause OF democ-
racy against autocrscy.
