A bar magnet has no markings to indicate it's poles. How would you find out near which end is it's north pole located?

Take the bar magnet and suspend it freely with help of a thread. The end that points towards the north pole will be regarded as the north end of the magnet. For confirmation, take a bar magnet with known/marked poles on it. Let the north pole of the magnet be brought closer to the suspended magnet at the end that is pointing towards north, it shows repulsion.
