Why Wool 10 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 II 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 II and that at the same
time keeps the atmosphere which is
colder than the body temperature from
entering II.
This layer OF air is. as some writer
has put 1t. little gaseous armor.
If wooden yarn is rendered straight
and regular by some special treatment
in the mill and is woven like linen 1t
Is only very little warmer than linen
That little is due TO its being animal.
which has always more warmth to it
than the vegetable product.

Diedrich knickerbocker.

It may be that Dutchman named
Knickerbocker did live i'm the early his
tory OF New York. but II he did there
are no records extant TO prove it. The
truth is. the name was created by
Washington Irving. who applied ii to
all residents Of New York I'm 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 forgave Irving for his ding at

Storm Stories.

History repeats itself even In storms
at sea. The Norwegian steamer Spica
was broken from her moorings at
BIyth and pitched like cork over half
mile of dangerous rocks until she
bumped against the pier. But this Is
nothing to the adventure Of the Eben-
eZer, IA craft Of ninety-five tons, which
was once driven by gale toward
Chesil beach, near Portland. An enor-
nous wave seized hold Of the ship and
carried it to the very top Of the bank,
where it was left high and dry. The
sailors stepped over the side and walk
ed into Portland, where they were
greeted by some as liars, by others as
men who had come out Of the jaws Of
DEATH" as the record puts 1t. But the
Ebenezer was found exactly as they
had said 1t would be. and two days lat
er she was launched and brought round
to Weymouth y.-Westminster Ga

INDICATED THE MULE.
A Legal Case Where the Honor of the
Animal Was involved.

Animal Was Involved.
One Of the most famous cases re-
ported in the Missouri Law Reports Is
that OF Lyman versus Dale, known as
the celebrated mule case"
1t seems that Dale's hired hand,
Parker, after days work supplying
water to a clover huller, was passing
through the city of Springfield, riding
one mule and leading another. He
met Lyman just opposite pile Of
bricks in the street, capped by red
lantern. The mule being led became
frightened at the bricks and lantern
and, jumping aside. broke wheel out
Of Lymans buggy.
This laid the foundation Of the case.
Lyman sued Dale for a damage Of So.
charging him with negligence In han
ding a wild and unruly mule"
The case was first tried In justice
OF the peace court at Springfield, Mo-,
and was appealed to the circuit court.
From there it was taken to the court
Of appeals, which court, failing to
agree, sent il TO the supreme court OF
the state.
This court held that Lyman could
not recover damages unless he proved
that the mule was wild and unruly.'
Judge Henry Lamm said that, while
the amount involved in the case was
small. the value Of the caseawas great
for the sake Of the doctrine and also
because Ii involved the "bonor OF the
Missouri mule. "-Exchange

White Deer skins a cash.

In China. the first country in the
world credited with using banknotes,
certain skins were 80 valuable that
they were accepted as cash and passed
from hand to hand In the same way
as banknotes are ut the present day
The negotiability Of these skins arose
thus:
The Emperor Gu III, being In want
Of money, gave his treasurer to under.
stand that such q state Of affairs must
not continue. At that time IL was Gus
tOmary for princes and courtiers on EN-.
tering the royal presence to cover theii
faces with a piece of skin. Taking ad.
vantage Of this custom, the treasurer
ordered a decree to be issued forbid.
ding the use Of any other skins for this
purpose except those Of certain white
deer In the royal parks. Immediately
there was demand for pieces of these
skins, which, being a monopoly, were
sold at high price and the royal cof-
fers refilled. The steady value Of the
skins thus secured made them readily
pass and acceptable as an equivalent
OF coin of the realm.
