How to Tell Wool From Cotton.

II
Ellwood Hendrick, in rIarper's Mag
azlne: Suppose a chemists wife, or
MS mother or sister buys a number
OF yards Of cloth to be made into a
gown. 1t is to be winter gown, and
us purpose, as distinguished from a
summer garment, is to keep her warm.
She wants 1t to be of wool, because
she knows by experience that wool is
warmer than cotton or linen. In
making the purchase she asks the
clerk in the store if 1t is all wool,
and she is assured that it is. The
clerk does not know except that the
buyer said so, and the chances are
mat the buyer does not know except
mat the jobber from whom he pur-
chased it, said So And the jobber
Goes not know except that a manufac.
.urer's agent said 50, and he may
nave been at slight pains to find out
we know very well that if we boil
a little silver of the goods in test
tube IN solution of caustic soda the
wool will dissolve and the cotton will
not; it is one of the simplest tests
mat can be made, and it can be accom-
plished in five minutes. But doubt
Il one in thousand chemists does
THIS thing. So the wife or mother
may BUY goods supposed to be wooden
mat are in large part cotton, and she
may, and often does, catch cold be-
cause Of this fact.

+ After due consideration OF the
stories of all parties, and final swls
of inspiration, the court officials
went off by themselves under an elm
tree and went into executive session
1t was nearly o'clock that night
before they rendered their verdict
which was in favor Of Blanchard
Neither contestant was on hand to
hear the decision, because when the
hour grew SO late they went home
and to bed.
1t was the next morning that Asa
heard the i'll tidings, and it was also
the next morning that the bull hoist
ed him over the wall. While he lay
in bed, sore from his toss, and per
haps bit peevish over the whole
business, he resolved to invent some
thing that would make Tom Blanch
ards eyes stick out with envy.
The habit or custom of fitting
brass knobs on the tips of cows
horns spread all over the United
States, and orders flowed in on Asa
on that one novelty alone. There
wasn't cattle show that the prize
winners did not wear Asa Kenney's
brass knobs, all shined up.
When Asa Kenney died, his son
Hiram, for years, too, made money
out Of the brass knob industry, and
tons and tons of brass were con
verified into tips for cross cows and
their cOnsortS.
About twenty years ago the Gus
tom died out, as county farmers
found that it was easier and less ex
pensive to dehorn their cattle thar
to keep them fitted with brass knobs
at 40 cents a pair.
