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 Press.

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. A Fuim>- IJuitle. A Russian grand duke was once the guest of a German prince. It was early In the last century. In Russia the imperial double headed eagle is to he seen everywhere und on everything throughout the empire — stamped, painted, embroidered or sculptured. At that period the education of grand dukes was somewhat limited. This grand duke went out shooting In Ger many nnd, among other things, shot a large bird. He linked an experienced huutsman who accompanied him what the bird was. "An eagle, your high ness." was the answer.

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. far For Spoiled Herr. "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.
