Preserving and Protecting Wood.

IT has been observed that dwelling
houses and other structures in European
countries, although not fire-proof in the
modern sense of the term, are practically
very nearly So They do not burn with
ANYTHING like the rapidity with which the
frail, combustible tenements in American
towns are destroyed. During the war be-
tween France and Prussia, in which many
buildings were set on fire, accidentally
and otherwise, it was found that large
proportion of them resisted the flames by
virtue of the plaster which entered in a
liberal degree into all parts of their
structure. Walls of lath and plaster were
found uniniured when all surrounding
parts were destroyed; and heavy timbers
imbedded and wholly covered with NOR
tar or plaster have proved, in numerous
instances, almost indestructible by fire, as
we'll as proof against decay or the attacks
of insects.
This element in house-building, where
stone and iron cannot, for any reason, be
used as the material for the frame, is de-
serving of more general attention, as 1t
presents method by which, without
rreat expense, the danger of swift de
| struction by fire can be almost wholly
avoided, and this in class of buildings
which, 1t has been thought, must be suf-
| fered to take their chance, inasmuch as
they are limited in the matter OF cost To
surround the timbers with plaster, though
very etfectual process, is not so cheap
or convenient as could be desired; and q
method of treating the wood itself is now
proposed, by which it Is not only pre-
served from decay, but the same protec'
ton from fire as that derived from a plas
ter coating is in some degree afforded. Tht
process referred to has lately been testeC
in England, and with very satisfactory
results. 1t consists in first drying
the wood and thus depriving it of moistur
and of volatile and inflammable matter
1t is then placed in cylinders into whicl
lime and water, with sulphurous acid gas
are forced, under considerable pressure
and made to enter the pores of the wood
which, when removed and dried, is read,
for use. The exact chemical effect OF thi
treatment upon the wood it is not necessf
ry here to explain, but it may be stated, i
general terms, that as the pores of tn
wood are filled and covered with an inso
uble sulphate of lime, resulting from tn
application described, water is excluded
dry-rot prevented and insects repellec
and, in addition to this, the liability
combustion is very greatly diminished
The process, moreover, is said to be til
cheapest in use, and the weight of til
wood is less after treatment than before
is dried in the kiln.--Lefers Milling an

German Child ROmances.

Every age and every country has Its ro-
nance, but the romance of childhood be-
longs more especially to Germany. Won
derful tales of fairies and kobolds, of pix
les and watersprites, ofdwarfs and giants,
are sung over the babes in the cradle, told
by the tireside of every hut and cottage, to
the wondering, eager, little, blond haired
children, whose eyes are so full Of earnest
ness and belief
What histories are connected with the
fir-trees, with the beloved and venerated
ChTistbdum! What legends lurk in the
caves and the woody hOllOws Though it
be yet summer, the child sees in fancy the
beautiful IFetndchtsbaum adorned with
splendid sparkling things, as the gospel
is adorned with promises and hopes; rich
| in gifts, as the three kings were rich
pointing to heaven, as the angel pointed /;
bright as those very heavens were bright,
with silver-winged messengers, crowned
with gold, as the word was crowned odOr-
Gus like the frankincense; sparkling like
the star; spreading forth its arms full of
peace and goodwill on every side; hold
ing out gifts and promises for all.
And they see the old King Winter max

pole; his spiked crown of icicles is on his

A Curious Relic.

teamster on the railroad, Will bath
ING In whitewater, some thirty miles east
of San Bernartlino, observed a dark, circu-
lar object in the stream which, on being
brought 10 the surface, proved 70 be truly
marvellous piece of Workmanship, The
article in question Is composed OF q GER
tain peculiar slate.colored stone, similar
10 that usually employed by the Indians
of British Columbia for the manufacture
of mines, and is not found anywhere In
this State. In form It is circular, being
somewhat shaped like large dinner.platei
the bottom for about six inches in diane
ter is perfectly smooth, and has q circular
orifice in the center about half an inch IN
diameter. Toward the rim 1t presents
singnlarly convex appearance; this rim on
the outer surface Is surrounded WIN
wreath Of grapeyines, so taultlessly en-
graved that even the most minute fibers OF
fhe leaves are clearly outlined. On the
upper surface of the rim is a peculiar
border. composed first of two parallel
lines extending around the entire rim,
with an interval of about two inches be
tween The lines; in the center OF these
lines, running at right angles, at regular
intervals, are smaller lines converglng
from the inner line in the form OF quarter
circles, meeting in the center, where they
pass through ovals, ending on the outer
line in the center of crescent facing out
ward; while traversing the whole is
waving line extending around the center
of the outer lines. The center of this GU
rious work, however, is the most astonish-
ing portion. On II appears marvelously
beautiful and faultlessly executed wreath
of flowers leaves, vines and scroll-work,
every bud, leaf and flower being perfectly
natural and life-like 10 the minutest de-
tails. The whole is polished in the high
est manner, and is rs smooth as glass.
The entire workmanship, in beauty of de
sign and dclicacy of finish, excels tho
choicest productions Of modern artists,
and shows that the people by whom it was
executed had reached an advanced stage
of civilization. 1t is almost with feeling
of reverence that we gaze upon this relic
of past race, of whom no history has
vet been found, other than the ruins scat
tered on the plains, and whose origin and
history arc enveloped in mpenetrable OBJ
security, which probably never will bt

Importance of Planting Forest Trees.

WE are shocked every year with news
paper accounts of the terrible simoOns that
pass over the Western prairies, demOlish-
ing buildings, fences and crops the natural
cause of which is want of timber for protec-
tion. The failure ofsprings and streams is
attributable to the same cause A we'll
wooded country is always well-watered
one. 1t is, or should be- the great aim of
the husbandman to so improve his prop
erty as to enhance its value, by which
means he becomes wealthy. The growth
of timber requires time, but it increases in
value yearly with time, and the sooner it
is planted the sooner it will begin to pay.
1t will pay, too, in so many ways. In a
few years you can cut out and sell hoop
poles in few more years you can cut out
rails, and all this time it is protecting you
from storms and drought-protecting the
health of your family and stock.

trees my experience in growing trees will
enable me to do this. The most profitable
bark, black, white and Spanish oaks
these all grow readily from the nut il
planted just where the tree is to remain
and grow, but will rarely bear transplant
ing. The nuts should be planted in
autumn, before they get dry; If the germ
OF the nut becomes dry il is killed, and
will never germinate; therefore, the nuts,
when gathered, should be packed in moist
moss or sand, and kept in a cool place un,

An AnecdOte Of Jules Janin.

Nevertheless, he had keen eye to his
own interest, as the following story will
show; enquite young man certain
neighbor of his owed him fifty francs,
One day when he went TO ask for it he
found his debtor in great trouble. d" can
not pay you," groaned the man. Il have
no money; am ruined; in a few hours
my landlord will distrain for his rent, and
carry away all / possess in the world"
Jules face fell, for his finances were very
low Just then. Suddenly an idea struck
him. "You have dozen or two of ex-
cellent wine in your cellar, you told me
the other day; let me have that, and will
give you an acquittance for the fifty
francs" Impossible; the porter will not
let it pass out.h 81 will take my chance
of that ifyou will agree to my PROPOSE
tion.T The debtor did agree and the re-
ceipt was signed. An hour atterward a
man in a workman's dress, with his hat
slouched over his eyes, appeared at the
door with two wine baskets filled with bot
ties. 81 have come to change some wine
that was sent in to Mons. -" (mention-
ing the debtors name) the other day by
mistake" he says in grutf voice. The
porter, innocent and unsuspecting, shows
the way to the cellar the man deposits the
bottles he has brought, takes away those
he finds there, and goes on his way rejoic
ing.
The man was Jules Janin and the bot
ties he left behind were filled with very
excellent-water!- Bar.
