USE Ti?J TO WEIGHT SILK Manufacturers Have to Employ Material Which Would Seem Hardly Suitable for Human Apparel. We have adopt' d many foreign ideas of comfort or utility, but no one has sought to introduce the wooden shoe from Holland. The tin stocking is even less suggestive of luxury, and ■ yet many of us wear them. Os cohrso , n person eouid n»»t wear a seek of “eighteen-carat” tin and bo uncon- , scions of It, but if the tin is alloyed and disguised with silk ho can wear , a considerable amount of it without ( suspecting It. i In cutting round tops and bottoms , out of tin sheets In the r.mnufueture , of tin cans there remains a certain amount of scrap. Men have sat up nights figuring the maximum number ~ of such pieces of various sizes that ( can' be cut from a sheet of the tin, ( and still there Is the waste left over ! that cannot be worked into sheets , again. Relief Is found in the demand j of the manufacturer of silk, who needs . some substance to weight his goods. A silk garment hangs and fits and ( holds Its shape better if weighted. , Everybody knows how soft and light , are the unweighted pongee silks. So the manufacturers of tin cans nnd of , silks co-operate. One disposes of bls ( tin waste, and the other converts the metal into tin chloride ami works it into the woven silk. Virtually all the waste of tin ean fm-toriWis—put to that use. Some silk stockings contain as much ns 30 per cent of tin. The use is entirely legitimate, - ace the trade demands a silk tiiat is firm and heavy for certain garments for which the purchaser desires a perfect fit. Silk waste, such as worn-out and cast-off garments, becomes in turn a ' source of tin worth attention. Rag :l pickers give little hoed to silk fem- e nants, but carefully collect linen and ‘ wool. The rag-pickers’ union, if there * a body, might well take notice of this information. The tin chi. r i ide in the silk is easily converted into ‘ tin oxide by burning the matgfial, and ■ i from the oxide the metal can re- r ; solved.—Youth's Companion. I —— < . As Recommended.

Dealer—Well, ma’am, what could you have more economical than that? ■ —Boston Transcript. ’ Ad'"ice Taken. > Wise —I don’t believe you ever took i anyone's advice in your life. > i Hub—Oi), yes I did ; a man once told ' me to do precisely what I’d made up mv mind to do. —Boston Trunseriut.

KNOWS ALL ABOUT “COOTIES” Civil War Veteran Has Vivid Recol- , lection of What He Calls His ; "Little Companions.” “A lot of; pbople,” said a veteran of the Civil war. “apparently d 6 not like to rem’ or hear about 'trench lice,’ nnd t! • -toys lover there’ don’t like to have ... on em. but afttn- all, they ; are not <o bad after a little while. 1 j got used to ’em during the Civil war. ' "Each spring, my regiment would got ri I of ’em. When it was warm enough lor all the men to strip off everything mid cook their clothes nnd bathe in the river, we would kill ’em off. and would not be bothered again until -v inter. “The first thing we did to a new man who came into the regiment was to give Idm his ‘little companions.' provided he had not come from another regiment that had ’em. We found that tlie man who.didn’t have ’em was likely to be uppish, and too darned particular about associating with the rest yrs US. So we initiated him at once, and thereby made him a part of the regiment. We would throw him down, open his shirt, ami then slip a few bf 'em on him. \\'e would have to held him while they hid —then the job was done, and ho was one of us. If you give those little fellows two or three minutes start, they can always take care of themselves.” THREE. How dull the night communique: “This sector had a quiet day." A quiet day—they only made A little, undecisive raid; B-.it when the smoke had cleared away In No Man's Land three still forms lay. - One gave for Freedom, love and life. Say what she gave, his heart-wrung wifel The second, who’d a failure seemed, In death his faults of life redeemed. /The third was born to bless with song The world that did him this great wrong.

If Justice Benedict of the Supreme court of New York were running for president of the United States and his election depended upon tlie woman vote, tin re is no doubt at till that lie would win by an overwhelming majority, after the sentiments which he expressed in an opinion, “If there is any one thing'in common that women are jealous of. and particularly grateful for the indulgence of, it is their precious right to change their minds.” said tlie justice. Tlie occasion for these wise wools was a plea by a woman plaintiff to change iter lawyer. Tlie justice decid'tl in her favor. “A party to an action,” ho said, “especially a womtin, lias tlie right to change her mind and her attorneys whenever the spirit moves her. for no reason or for any reason which suits her whim or fancy. This precious pri-re.mitive must be protected and preserved tty the court, even against tlie protest of the superseded attorney.” Amer can Tars Have a Time. During tite celebration of victory in Genoa a characteristic episode occurred in front of tite Garibaldi monument. A group of English sailors, surrounded by an immense crowd, hold a mock trial about the effigy of Emperor Charles of Austria. They condemned him to death arid hanged the effigy on a polo, afterward applying the torch. The pole' and the effigy were consumed. Tlie Americans and Hie English took part in all the Italian celebrations with great enthusiasm. —Italian American News Bureau. Worth-While Home Planning.
