(•rrasr In Wool Fabrics.
Few pcrwoiiH realize when they put
on woolen garments what a large
Hmotint of animal fats wool contains,
for to the touch woolens are not greasy.
In the big ciolhiug shops where men’s
garments are cut. however, the floors
around the tables where electric knives
clip out the <xld shaped pieces soon be
come as slippery as though they were
waxed for a dance.
"Why do you wax the floors—to keep
the fabrics clean?” Is a common query
from vialtors.
Rut the clothing cutters explain that
thia accumulation of grease comes
from the friction of wool cloth over tlie
wood. The wood's pores soon become
so charged with it that they feel greasy
to the touch, and even the harder woods
ltt the cutting luules absorb from the
woolen fillers so much of the animal
fat that to all appearances they might
be in steady uae In the rendering de
partment of an abattoir.—New York

Are Ministers* Sons Had t
A bishop marked the nnmea of those
whom he deemed worthy of remem
brance for some service performed In
religion or politics or literature or sci
ence or art or commerce or philan
thropy or warefure, or some other as
pects of the various life of the nation.
Of such names he found 1,270 who
were the children of clergymen or min-
tutors, taking no account of those who
were grandchildren of clergymen or
more remote descendants. Of the chil
dren of lawyers, there were M0. nnd
of doctors 350. The sons of clergymen
who became themselves clergymen
were 350. He further usserts that the
superiority which the clergy enjoy In
respect to their children to the other
profession lies beyond dispute. The
superiority Inis been not of numbers
only, hut of degree. Front clerical
homes have sprung more distinguished
sons than from the homes of any secu
lar profession.—Leslie's Weekly.

the bird was. "An eagle, your high

Miaalt-lrss Forests.
Large tracts of dense forests in Aus
tralia are practically shnileless. Many
kinds of trees In that strange country
turn their edges lustead of the flut sur
face of the leaves to the sun, nnd thus
one may stand under a- tree of enor
mous size and he ns fully exposed to
the sun as though he were in the open
plain. Travel through these forests
Is said to he exceedingly arduous work,
as the trees, while they do not cut ofT
the sun, prevent the breeze from
reaching the ground, and thus the trav
eler experiences a stifling heat.

"There Is no need,” said a brewer,
“for us to throw away beer that has
turned sour, nor Is there any need for
us to try to doctor it up. We have a
ready sale for our spoiled beer among
cement makers. Don't think from this
that cement makers have n morbid
taste for sour beer. Nothing of the
kind. They use this beer In making
cement for leather joints. It takes
the place of acid, being cheaper nnd
yet just as good.”
