Now cloth made from vegetable fibers, principally cotton. has a more extended use than.wool. But this does not ‘mean that cotton and linen are displacing wcol as an article of human wear. Far from it; the use of wool constantly advances by enormous strides, and the even greater advance in the use of cotton is due in no small méasure to the_'f'zict that the supply of wool can not meet the demand for tlothing. ‘Mankind must perforce wear the vegetable ﬁb/e_x;,s.m‘ go unciothed. The same fact is true of the product of the silkworm; the supply. can never equal the dmnm;d. (.'m_rnnfm' course, has conquered for itself a new field, the clothing ofthe unclothed races of the earth. In addition it has supplied new ‘articles of clothing to civilized man, whose ancestors wore but little else than wool.| The European or American of today does not wear less wool;. in truth he wears more, but he also .wears moreé articles of clothing, and these, for the most part, are cotton. There is a close parallel all over the world between-the cattle and the sheep industry, but there are some important differences as well. : - It has rarely happened and can scarcely happen again that cattle will anywhere be raised primarily for thelr horns and hides, but the raising of sheep for their wool is one of the wellrecognized steps in the industry. Tt is the fact that this can be done so as to pay a handsome profit that built up the great sheep industries in the west. ern part of the United States, in ‘Australia and New Zealand, in South Africa, and now: is building up a greater. industry in, South America. Free or very cheap pasturage is the funda--mental condition for this kind of sheep raising. Were it not for these new lands.éwhere the cost of feeding the sheep i$ nominal, the price of woel would advance to a point where woel clothing wduld be beyond the means of any except the very rich. Sheep ralsing is @ profitable industry in EngW O Yh TN e R

land, or Germany, or the eastern half of the United States, not because of wool, but because of mytton. The fleece is a by-product; just as the hide of the steer or of the dairy cow is a by-product; the principal value of the animal is its flesh. In the new sheep centers of South America_the principal value of the animal is its woo‘a and fortunes' were made from the flocks even when not a pound of mutton was exported or sold. : : Wool, as the word is used in commerce, is not a product alone of the sheep. It may be wool, although it comes from the backs of several varieties of goats, from the camel, the alpaca, the guanaco, the vicuna, or the llama, as well asifrom the sheep. It is-the thing itself and not the zoological classification of the animal which determines whether the fiber is wool, hair, or fur. Since the classification is commercial and not scientific the line between these three classes is necessarily vague and indistinct. For instance, the under covering of the camel may be camel's wool or camel’s hair; and so we have alpaca hair or alpaca wool. From the sheep there are many varieties of wool, long and short; straight and curly, coarse and fine, and, what is generally more important than any of these, varieties in the serrations or imbrications appearing on the surface of the fibers. :

It is important in considering wool as a commercial commodity to keep in mind the ihree different kinds of cloth made therefrom. These are commercially known in English as felts, W’oolens, and wor'steds., The processes in making these three kinds of cloth are so different as to make them entirely different industries, employing entirely different machinery. Felt is made from the wool or fur in mass, the cloth holding because of the lock clutch -of the imbricated fiber. Woolens and worsteds -are spun from threads, but the threads in the two kinds of cloth are prepared in a different manner, and the weaving is entirely unlike. Formerly, entirely different kinds =of wools were wused for making the two Kkinds of cloths, or rather it is more accurate to say that only certain kinds of wools could be used in making worsteds. Almest any kind of wool could be used for making woolens, although some were much more suitable than others, and, as a rule, those least suitable for woolens were best suitable for worstegs. In effect, therefore, certain wools were used for woolens and certain other wools for worsteds. With the improved modern machinery used in: worsfed mills these limitations are fading away, so that worsteds can now be made from wools formerly not used for this purpose. . The wool used for making woolens is carded; that for worsteds is combed. The effect of these two processes is that in the first the wool fibers are crossed and interlocked as much &s possible, and in the second they are drawn out

to be parallel, as in cotton or linen. Woolen yarns, although hard-spun, look and feel light and fluffy. Worsted yarns appear finer and stronger. ‘ g

The weaving of the two kinds of cloth is not unlike, at least not .to the unskilled observer, except in one particular, and this is a most important one—woolens are fulled and worsteds. are not. The fulling of the cloth, accomplished by heat, moisture and pressure, brinﬁ together and interlocks, by means of the imbrication of the fiber, the several threads entering into the cloth into a more qQr less felted whole. The cloth shrinks, sometimes as much as one-half, and in such material, as for instance the so-called doeskins and broadchths, it appears and feels like felt.

It is this process of semifelting the cloth, made possible by the peculiar lie of the fibers in the yarn, that distinguishes woolens from worsteds. Formerly, entirely different classes of wool were used in the two cloths—for woolens, the short-staple, highly imbricated carding weol, merino for example; and for the worsteds the long-staple, slightly imbricated or smooth combing wools. By modern machinery it is posslblc_e now to use thq short-staple wools in making worsteds. :

In practise’the raw wool, after being washed and scoured, is subjected to a series of combing processes, in each of which the particular fibers suitable for a certain purpose are extracted. The residuum after each combing is called a waste, although its value per pound may have been augmented by the extraction of the lower-priced fibers. ’ ' » According to United States census reports, manufactures of wool rank tenth in the list of American industries. The total capital invested was $310,179,749 and with an output valued at $236,990,484 a year. In the -classification adopted the manufacture of clothing is not included. Sinee 1900 there has been an enormous increase’ in the wool manufacturing industry, principally in the manufacture of worsteds. At the sdme census the number of slieep in the United States was 39,852,967. Since then there has been a 43 per cent. increase in the number of sheep, as appears by a report iesued by the census office on January 1, 1910, which shows 57,216,000 sheep in the country at the present time. These are valued at an average of $4.08, giving a total value of $233,644, 070. By the census of 1900 the country produces 276,567,584 pounds of sheep’s‘ wool and 9€1,328 pounds of mohair and goat hair. Estimating the same average clip of wool as at that time, the production of the country at the present should be about 400,000,000 pounds of wool. IR reality it should be greater, on acceunt of the improvement in sheep -breeding. - There are several hundred varieties of skeep both in the domestic and in the wild breeds. The former kave been under the dominfon of man since before the dawn of his-

be classed under two heads—the Spanish and the British breeds. The Spanish breed is the Merino, which has modified more or less the sheep of all Europe, including the British islands, North and South America, South Africa and Australia. The Merino has a very characleristic appearance, which easily distinguishes him from other breeds. He has a thick covering of wool over the forehead and cheeks, his horns are large, ponderous and convoluted laterally. The wool is long, soft, and twisted into silky looking spiral ringlets. The wool fibers are highly imbricated and possess in the highest degree fine felting qualities. The origin of theé Spanish Merino is not very well known, but the breed is known to have as a foundation the original breed introduced into the Peninsula by the Romans upon which was crossed certain English sheep, most probably the Leicester or Lincoln sheep. Up to the time of the Napoleonic wars, the position of Spain in the wool trade was at the head. Spanish wool went all over the civilized world and enjoyed a reputation for being®the best. However, the peninsular wars, with the attendant evils following thereon, had a most disastrous effect on the wool trade of Spain and produced a depreciation in its quality and a consequent loss in exportation for the wool of the famous breed.

Spanish Merinos were taken to Hungary in 1775 and to France. one year later—the most famous French Merino {s the Rambouillet. Spanish Merinos were first brought to Rambouillet by Daubenton in 1782, and from this first importation the breed was developed. It s now known all over the world as one of the best of the Merino strains. Spanish Merinos were brought to the United States in the early colonial days, but the breed was lost in a promiscuous crossing with the earlier imported British breeds. The first Spanish Merinos whose ‘descendants have been kept pure were brought to the United States in 1802. Merinos were taken to the Spanish-Amer-ican colonies almost with the first colonists, and are the foundation and almost the sole foundation of the so-called nativeé breeds in all the American Latin republics, but the breed was not kept up, and consequently decayed even more rapidly than subsequently in Spain following the Napoleonic wars.

While Spain has the honor of having produced the most valuable single breed of sheep, bred for wool peculiarly suitable for clothing, the British islands have produced the greatest number of valuable breeds of sheep bred for wool suitable for all purposes, and even for the particular purpose for which Merino wool is best suited, but little inferior thereto. Of course in the mutton breeds Great Britain has always stood without a rival, but also in its long-wool breeds it is without rival in wool of this character. The British breeds are classified as long wool, short wool and mountain

breeds. The long-wool breeds are the Leicester, ‘Border Leicester; Cotswold, Lincoln, Kentish, Devon Longwool, South Devon, Wensleydale, and Roscommon, ; The short-wool breeds—this class includes among others the famous mutton breeds—are the Oxford Down, Southdown, ' Shropshire, Hampshire Down, Suffolk, Ryeland, Somerset, and Dorset Horned. The mountain breeds are -the Cheviot, Blackfaced Mountain, Herdwick, Lonk, Dartmoor, EX: moor, Welsh Mountain, and Lime stone. ‘All of these breeds are English except the Border Leicester, Chevl ot, and Blackfaced, which are Scotch, the Welsh which belongs to Wales, and the Roscommon to Ire land. ) The Leicester from an historical standpoint is the most important ot the long-wool English sheep, and it was the great reputation of the wool of this breed that gave Eng: land in the past its prominent position. as a:- wool-producing coun. try. Most important of ‘all, it is the Leicester blood which is the foune dztion of many of the other best English breeds and as such has extended itself over all the world. The wool is fine, white; and longstapled. Sk

The Lincoln is the largest and heaviest fleeced .sheep. Many of the fieeces will weigh from 18 to 20 pounds, with a staple 20 inches in length. The Lincoln resembles the Cotswold, but has a less-pronounced tuft on the fecrehead and the wool is cloger curled. i The wool of these sheep has a

fine glistening appearance which has earned for it the name of “luster wool.”

The = Southdowns, Shropshire, ‘Hampshire Downs, Oxford Downs, and Dorsets are among the better-known short-wool sheep The Dorset staple is the shortest. The Cheviot is the best known among the mountain breeds. The Cheviot is ~sometimes called a middle-wool sheep. The Jrench beeds best known are the Choletaise, which carry a good fleece, the Larzac, a short, thick-set animal with long-fibered but rather s¢anty wool, the Berrichome du Crevan, better known for its heavy milking qualities than for wool, and the Manchamp sheep, known as La Chamois, which produces a most excellent long and fine-fibered combing wool. 2. In addition to the domestic sheep introduced into America by the English, Spanish and Portuguese settlers, South America possesses a group -of wocl-bearing animals which are native to the country. This group, the auchenia, is one of the two branches into which the existing genera o the family of the camelidae is divided. The other branch is the camel (camelus)-of the Old World. Most authorities agree in dividing the auchenia into four species, the guanaco, the vicuna, the llama, and the alpaca. The two last named are not known in the wild state, but were domesticated by the native Indians long prior to the coming of the Spaniards to South America. There is no reason to doubt that the guanaco and the vicuna might also be brought under subjection. . : - The vicuna is a smaller animal, about the size of the fallow deer. It is found in the high mountains of Bolivia, Peru and Ecuador, seldom descending below 13,000 feet. Although it may be tamed, it is to all intents and purposes a wild animal. It yields an exceedingly fine and delicate wool of a reddish-yellow color, which is worth about twice as much as-alpaca. ' The alpaca was the wool-producing animal of the Incas, as it is yet of most of the people of the Andes. and the west coast of South America. ‘lt is found principally in Peru and Bolivia, but does not thrive below about 5,000 feet. All of the South American countries are producers of wool from the domestic sheep, and most of them are exporters to a greater or less degree; but the recent development of the sheep industry in Argentina, Uruguay, and Chile lends a particular interest to South America as a purveyor of this one of the world’s staple articves of trade. G ;

The annual wool clip of Argentina for the season of 1849-50 was 8,000,000 kilograms, 17,6¢0,000 pounds. This was a respectable showing for the time and gave Argentina a position of importance in the wool trade. The wool, however, was a coarse grade, most of it what is known to the trade as Cordova, used by worsted spinners for carpet yarns. In 50 years the industry had increased thirtyfold so that the clip of the year 1899-1900 was 239,000,000 kilograms—>s2s,Boo,ooo pounds. This represented about one-fourth of the world’s production. The quality of the wool meanwhile had improved. : A recent census of the country (1908) shows 67,211,754 sheep. 1t is almost imposstble for the mind to grasp these figures, but some idea of their significance can be gained when it is stated that “if the animals were assembed in a gigantic drove, 12 abreast, they would reach across the continent from New Yerk to San Francisco.” This places Argentina second to Australia, which leads the world with over 83,100,000, the United States third, with about 56,000,000, and England fourth, with about 35,000,000. The export of wool from Argentina for the year 1908 amounted to 386,183,000 pounds,

the most noticed person in the church, after the bride and groom, was Col. Theodore Roosevelt, father of the young man who was entering the state

of matrimony. The date of the wedding had been set to permit the attendance of the former president, and this was one of his very first social engagements after his return from abroad, for he landed in New York only two days before. Mrs. Snowden Fahnestock, who before her own recent marriage was Miss Elizabeth Bertron, was the matron of honor, and the. bridesmaids were Miss Ethel Roosevelt, Miss Jessie *Millington-Drake, Miss Janetta Alexander, Miss Jean Delano and Miss Harriet Alexander.

Rev. Henry M. Sanders, a great uncie of the bride, officiated, assisted by Dr. Gordon Russell of Cranford, N. J. L

After the ceremony the bridal party was entertained at the home of the bride’s uncle, Charles B. Alexander. At least a part of the honeymoon will be spent at Sagamore Hill, the country home of the Roosevelt family at Oyster Bay, Long Island. Later in the summer the young couple will start for San Francisco, where Mr. Roosevelt is to be in charge of the interests of the carpet manufacturing firm with which he has been associated for some time.

The love story of the young couple has been a quick-moving romance: Their engagement was announced only last winter, and the news was cabled to Colonel Roosevelt, resulting in the speedy receipt of his approval and congratulations. The bride, who is the daughter of Henry Addison Algxander of New York, is twenty-

Need of a Uniform Code

Too Many Different Systems of Storm Signals in Use at the Present Timae.

Upward of twenty different systems of storm signals are at present used by the maritime countries of the world. A uniform international code is a desideratum, and the task of devising one was entrusted by the international meteorological committee to a smali commission, which met in Londou last summer and agreed to recommend to the committee the adoption of a code proposed by Professor Moare, chief of the United States weather bureau. This code substitutes a few simple combinations of the large conical symbols now used at a majority of the European ports for the storm flags heretofore used in the United States and some other countries. Combinations of red and white lanterns are to be used at night to convey the same information as the day signals. The proposed code has not yet, however, been formally adopted

one years old, of a liittls more than medium height, slender, and of 2ry attractive appearance, having an especially ° peautiful complexion. She is as animated as her famous sister-in-law, Mrs. Alice Roosevelt Longworth, whose house guest she was for a.time just before Mrs. Longworth sailed for England to join her father. X

I Theodore Roosevelt, Jlr., strongly resembles his father in looks, but is de- | cidedly reserved and is generally cred{ited with being far less democratic gthan certain other members of the family. As a boy he rode horseback kand engaged in all the other outdoor | pursuits of the juvenile Roosevelt clan |at their home at Oyster Bay -and he itook some part in athletics during | his preparatory school codrsg at Gro{ton and his eollegiate -course at diar- § vard, but in the main he has been less | enthusiastic on the. subject of life in {the open than his father and brother { Kermit. He has always been-of a studious nature and his romance with Miss Alexander is said to hayve had its beginnings in the mutual love of these young people for music. For all that “Teddy, Jr.” has eschewed the sensaticnal in outdoor ‘athleties, *he did participate two years ago in a bal-

| loon flight from Washihgton, in which i he and the two army officers who | were his fellow passengers had some | rather exciting experiences. - | There was no little surprise on the }part of the public when Theodore, Jr., ’upon the completion of his college j course two years ago, chese a busi|ness career as his er‘work, and still more wonder was aransed when he took employment in a Connecticut carpet factory in order to gather knowledge at first hand of the practical side of carpet manufacture.. He started at the lowest round of the ladder, as-an unskilled workman at a small salary. Of course he was promoted as he mastered the intricacies of the business, but he continued to live quietly in a

modest boarding house. Many persons were skeptical as to whether young Roosevelt would stick to so prosaic an existence, but he is evidently ‘determined to win his fortune ‘in this sphere.

Raven’s Sharp Trick.

The best talking-bird new to'the big collection in the London “Zoo” is a raven who came to the aviary last year. “Hullo! Jack!” is his favorite remark, and it is the voice of one who meets an unworthy friend. Soon after he arrived he used his conversational powers with great effect upon a lammergeier who shares his_cage (relates the London Spectator). - The lammergeler had a piece of meat which the raven desired, but he was unwilling to surrender it. The raven bopped up. *“Hullo! Jack!” he began, and the lammergeier, aghast at the voice of man, dropped his dinner and fled. But the lammergeier was never a bird of much spirit.

by any government pending the decision of the international meteorologfcal committee, which meets in Berlin next September. Since the London meeting objections have been raised by the German authorities to the pﬂosed night signals on the ground®that they are not sufficiently distinctive and might be confused with other harbor lights. The Deutsche Seewarte at Hamburg is now experimenting with several systems of -night signals and will lay the results of its investigations before the = committee.— Scientific American. SReTEg

Her head was very ' sore and her hair nearly all fell out ' in spite of what they both did. One day her niece came in and they were speaking of how her hair was falling out and the doctors did it no good. . She says, ‘Aunt, why don't you try Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment? Mother did and they helped her. In six months’ time the itching, “burning and scaling of her head was over and her hair began growing. Today she feels much in debt to Cuti-cura-Soap and Ointment for the fine head of hair she has for an old lady " of seventy-four. i i “My own case was an eczema in my feet.. As soon as _the cold weather came my feet would itch and burn and then they would crack open and bleed. Then I thought I would flee to my mother’s friends, Cuticura Soap and Cuticura .Ointment.

REMARKABLE PIECE OF LUCK Some Men Would Lose Rephfatlon for Veracity if They Told This as Mark Twain Told It.

Mark Twain was an inveterate smoker. He even smoked in bed, where he did much of his work. And - speaking of his devotion to tobacco ! Septimus tells the following in the Rochester Post-Express: Mark Twain used to say that one of the most remarkable stories of luck ever told had to do with smeoking. -It was in Ne- ' vada days. He had been out pros- | pecting in a wild and uninhabited country, a hundred miles from a village, when his matches were de- | stroyed by water. He had- no flirt or "tinderbox and no way of getting a . light. So he went about six hours ' without a smoke. Then the smoker’'s - insatiable huhger began to gnaw. *“I. [ was in agony,” said Mark Twain, ' “and would have given hundreds of | thousands of dollars for a light, when } suddenly I looked down on. the | ground, and what do you think I saw? . A match. Sure as I live, there, in a (place where I would have sworn no . white man ever put his foot, was a ‘ large, fat match, perfectly dry. I | lighted my pipe and kept it going un- ' til T reached a white man’s habita- ' tion. That was the greatest bit of { luck that ever happened in my life.” ! And the humorist would tell the story with the gravest of faces and with- ; out even so much as a twinkle in the - eyes. : | A DOCTOR'S EXPERIENCE Medicine Not Needed in This Case It is_hard to convince some people that coffee does them an injury! They lay their bad feelings to almost every cause but the true and unsuspected one. But the doctor knows. His wide experience has proven to him that to some systems, coffee is an insidious poison that undermines the health. Ask the doctor if coffee is the ¢ause of constipation, stomach and nervous trouble. “lI have been a coffee drinker all my life. I am now 42 years old and when taken gick two years ago with nervous - prostration, the doctor said that my nervous system was broken down and that I woul’ave to give up coffee. “l got so weak and shaky I could not work, and reading your advertise.ment of Postum, I asked my grocer if he had any of it. He said: ‘Yes, and that he used it in his family, and {§ was all it claimed to be. : “So I quit-coffee and commenced to use Postum steadily and found in about two weeks’ time I could sleep soundly at night and get up in the morning feeling fresh. In about two months I began to gain flesh. I weighed only 146 pounds when I commenced on Postum, and now I weigh 167 and feel better than I did at 20 years of age. : + “I am working every day and sleep ‘well at night. My tWwo children were great coffee drinkers, but they have not drank any since Postum came into the house, and are far more healthy than they were before.” o " Read “The Road to Wellville,” found e ematne, tim weh fa o Tesatey
