which is in the basement OF Lee

SEASONING OF Woop.-An English
writer states that small pieces ofnOn-
rcsinous wood can be seasoned per-
fectly by boiling four or five hours
the process taxing the sap out of the
wood Which shrinks nearly onc-tenth
in the operation. The same writer
states that trees fclled in full leaf, in
June or July, and allowed to lie un-
til every leaf has fallen, will then be
nearly dry, as the leaves will not
drop of themselves until they have
drawn up aud exhausted all the sap
of the tree. The time required is
from n month to six weeks. according
to the dryncss or the wclncss of the
vc,tb,r. The floor of 4 mil laid
with poplar so treated, and cut up
and put in place in less than month
after the leaves fell, has never shown
the slightest shrinkagc.

teen. Lafayctttc's Wonderful Memory,

Il wps often remarked of Gen.
Lafayette, when he was on his tour
through the United States, in 1921, he
possessed, in very extraordinary de-
gree, the faculty of recognizing Mt n
glance his old comrades in arms,
whom he had not seen for fifty years.
lie could call by the name as well the
privates in the ranks as the highest
officer of the line.
The following incident was related
to me in the year 1882, by the late
Judge Brooke, of the Court Of Appeals
to the State, who had been Cartai
in the war of the Revolution:
While Lafayette was in Richmond
guest Of Virginia, an obscure indi-
vidual, living in Pcrsoh county, n. e.,
who was known in the Revolutionary
army rs Sergeant Hood, who belong
cd to the company commanded by
Capt. Brooke, and who, on account OF
his singular daring and uniform good
conduct, was pet of his officers, visl-
ted the Capitol for the purpose of greet
ing his old commanding General.
Judge Brooke said that on walking
across the CapitOl-square one morn
ing, he met an old man who inquired
Of him if he could direct him to the
quarters of Gen. Lafayette, and
that he fought under him when lie
was a youth, and hud come 100 miles
to see him. Before the Judge had
time to respond, the stranger said to
HIM, "Is not this Capt. Brooke to
whom | am talking?"
On receiving an affirmative, he said,
"You do not appear to recognize me !:
am Sergeant Hood, who belonged to
your company during the Revolution
AIRY war;" The Judge told me that
he was Immediately filled with the
most pleasant recollectiOns of the Ser
geants many deeds of valor perform
ed under his own inspection, that he
gave him cordial grasp, and went
with him to Lafayette's room.
On entering, and before word was
spoken by any one else, the Marquis,
who WAS in the remote part of the
room, eagerly approached the strange
old man, and eXclaimiDg, Sergeant
Hood" fell on his neck and wept tears
ofjoy.
lie recognized this humble private
in an instant, and rrcountcd some OF
his deeds of daring 10 the astonishcd
company.
That he should have recognized any
"f his brother officers, after Il separa'
lion of more than half q century, dur
ing which time they must have under
gone the usual change wrought in
ones appearance by old age, while
his own eyes must have "grown dim,'
was n matter of no little surprise, bll
that he should have hailed an humble
private i'm the ranks by name, excitet
the astonishmcnt of all who were pres
ent.

An oil well, near Leechbnrg, ON
the Western Pennsylvania Railroad.
took fire on the 18th instant, produc-
ing great excitement in the neighbor-
hood. The well was being drilled
for oil, aad had reached the depth OF
200 feet. On the 4th instant q vein
of water was struck, and the column
was forced fully one hundred feet
above the top Of the derrick. The
water and gas ,lOwed uninterrupted
" ever since that time. Last Satur-
day morning the gas ignitcd, and the
flames shot up to a height of seventy
five feet. Steps were taken immc-
diatcly to smother the fire, but at last
arrout they were unavailing.

ELECTRICITY As AREMEDY For DIS.
LhsE.-Wc arc accustomed to regard
the use of remedial electricity as q
modern discovery. The employ.
mcnt of the torpedo for paralysis AMI
neuralgia is however, mentioned by
Galcn, Dioscoridcs, Scribonius, and
Asclcpiades. The Africans of Bc-
min, have, it is said, from time iinlnc-
mortal, used electric fish in the ba-
.ins where they bathc their children,
in order, as they say, to strengthen
The constitutions of the yOunglin9s.
The use of artilicially generated cleo
iricity is, however, undoubtedly
modern.

of the Prodigal Son, he said the Prodi-

of his prayer with kisses. The sermon
was on Luke, XIV, II: In my Fathers s

sermon he had delivered, he dwelt on
the fact, and asked his people to praise
God for sparing his life. After service

Remarkable woman.
Letter from Bath county, VAL

About twenty miles from the Healing
Springs, in the Allegheny Mountains,
there lives a most remarkable woman.
Her name is Morrison, but she is known
all through the country as Miss Jennie
Rucker" 4" She is about sixty years of
age, has her hair bobbed like mans,
wears mans hat, and rides horse
astride. Hunting is her means of liveli-
hood, and she kills deer, bear and other
game with the skill of forty years expe-
rience. Not long since she wounded a
deer, but before coming with it another
hunter-a man-had got to it and com
menced carving it up. The old lady
expostulated with no avail, and finally
drew bead on him with rife to en-
force her rights" The fellow jumped
behind a tree, but left his heel exposed, at,
which vulnerable spot the old lady fred
and hit. She got her deer. She has nine
or ten children, and is said to treat all
travellers Hospitality who stop at her
cabin.

A farmer was threshing his grain by
steam power, near Philadelphia, this
county, when a well-dressed stranger
drove up in, buggy, got out, tied his
horse and came up to the machine He
first went to the engineer and asked the
privilege Of feeding the machine awhile,
and was referred to the feeder. The
feeder seeing no reason to refuse letting
him try his hand, Welded his post, which
the stranger filled with ability, After
running short time he looked to the en-;
gineer for more steam, whichthe engineer
put on; and then, while the machine was
going at lightning speed, he motioned
the man handling sheaves to stop. and
as soon as the teeth were clear lhe
doubled up his arms and threw himself
headforemost into the thresher before
the horror-stricken observers had an
idea of his intention. He was literally
torn all to pieces in an instant. No clue
to his identity could be discovered his
pocket-book contained thirty dollars, but
nothing in the way of papers. The citi-
zens of Philadelphia are still in the
dark as regards the name of the man or
the cause of his making away with him

George Alfred Townsend writes from
Cape May:
1 must say that, judging by the evi-
denee of bathing costumes, a good many
young men in this country do not know
what they are marrying. / sat padding
in the sand yesterday, and watched the
girls in their skirt pants go down into
the water. Not five per cent. of them
would fill the measure of a strong man S
arms. A few were buxom, and showed
some outlines through their flannel, and
about thirty per cent. wore stiff corsets,
carrying their disguises to the last. The
others seemed to be Of lath-like struc-
ture, and might not suffer the winds of
heaven to touch their cheeks too rough
", If a gentle invalid is the young
mans hunger, here are whole hospitals
of them, ready 10 rush upon fate and
perish. Il seems to me to be a better
investment for woman to be vigorous
than to appear so. A young man, trust
ing to first impressions, espouses Hebe,
the cup-bearer. He takes to his arms
instead an eifigy, a hair-pin dressed ~,
a blushing bag of bones.

From the Los Angeles Cali Express. Au-
Last Thursday, as James Tweedy, a
stock herder, was sitting astride log
up in the Fort Tejen region, eating his
lunch, four large-sized grizzlies came
trotting down the canyon, and one of
them coming quietly up behind him, hit
him on the head, knocked him off the
log and then bit him severely through
the back of the neck and shoulder. The
young man played dead, and the bear,
probably thinking he had finished him,
went off a distance, but, to be doubly
sure, came back and smelt around him
again and started off. When the bear
had gone distance of about fifty yards,
Tweedy jumped up and mounted his
horse, which was standing near by, and
rode away. His injuries are painful,
but not dangerous In the same neigh
borhood, on the next day, VIM. Thomas,
son of Judge H. B. Thomas, of Los
Nietos, was sleeping in a tent, when be-
ing unaccountably disturbed by a dream
or something else, he got up and, looking
out, saw fsur grizzlies coming toward
the tent He did not stop to receive
them, but mounted his horse and rode
away, leaving them masters of the situ-
alton. The grizzlies are giving stock
raisers in that section good deal of
trouble this season.
