There is such a great variety c fabrics on the market now, and mos of us understand so little about ho' they are made, that it is hard to kno which ones will give the best valu for the money. Our grandfather used to buy pure virgin wool, but ne' processes have been devised whic utilize shoddy along with the wool i such a way that the goods are som< times handsomer and more durabi than the old kinds. Linen has gon up so in price that many of us ca not afford it andl must content om scives with cotton or cotton andl line mixtures. A microscopre is the most accurat means of dlistinguishing cotton an linen threads. Cotten fibers, unde the microscope, have a ribbon-like ar pearance with frequent twists, and broad flat central canal; linen fiber are roundl, jointedI, andI heavier tha cotton. If the fabric is without starch, o makes linen transhticent and cotto opaque. The finish must be wvashe out of highly finished materials bt fore the test can be used. A con paratively simple test which, afte some experience, enables one to dir tinguish between linen and cotton called the "tearing" test. One .m be an expert to detect cotton andl line mixtures in this way. The line weaves in general are more diflicul to tear than cotton.

Anotheif'simple test is to light the} s threads with a match, blow out the r flame and examine the burnt ends. The cotton threads will have blunt ends, while the linen will be pointed. f .An easy way of distinguishing be t, tween the highly-seized and calender v ed-cotton damask and true linen da v mask is to boil a sample.

C. loss in weight, large additions of var ious substances which do not change the looks, feel, or structure of the silk, are often made. If no larger an amount than that of the weight of. the gum boiled off is added, it is con sidered legitimate; but much silk is piade which has as high as from three we to four times as much mineral mat- - ter added to it as its original weight. t This makes the silk brittle, and weak, so that it wears out quickly. It is easy to determine heavily-weighted material by burning a small sample. Pure silk burns rapidly, smells like wool and produces a small amount of brittle curled-up ash. Material which is heavily weighted will have an ash which is stiff and which often holds the shape of the sample. Cotton is frequently mixed with silk. Such goods sold as mixtures have many uses. It is easy to de tect cotton in silk by the microscope as the fibers of silk are rounl and smooth, while the cotton fibers are ribbon-like and fuzzy. 50,000 IN ARMY SCHOOLS American Soldiers Anxious to Get Further Training.
