Probably the oldest timber in the
world which has been subjected to the
use of man, is that which is found in the
ancient temples of Egypt. 1t is found
in connection with stone-work which is
known to be at least 1000 years old. The
wood, and the only wood used In the con.
struction OF the temple, is.in the form OF
ties, holding the end of one stone to
another in its upper surface. When two
blocks were laid in place, then it APP
pears that an excavation about an inch
deep was made in each block, into which
an lour-glass shaped tie was driven. 1t
is therefore, very difficult to force any
stone from its position. The ties appear
to have been the tamarisk or shittim
wood. These dovetailed ties are just as
sound now as the day Of their inseYtion.

dant. To be .sure Sam had been to col
lege, and in the "feasts OF reason" to
which the janitor's bell had summoned
him had succeeded in digesting a moder-
ate quantity of Greek and Latin roots,
metaphysical pie and other light and ele-
CANT trifles. But whether buckwheat
cakes were cultivated or grew wild, OF
whether a granger was new variety OF
sheep or a potato bug, he would have
been totally unable to say. To his anx-
ious inquiries he was informed that pota-
toes were not yet ripe enough to pick; /;
in fact, that they didn't pick potatoes
anyway. The first time he saw his cou-
sin Zeke milk he declared that milking
was easy enough. All you had to do was
to close your fingers and the milk squirt
ed right out, just as nice as could be-.
on the next COW. When Sam had finally
got over the slight difficulty of making
his one-legged stool and the milk pail
stay where they were put, the COW both
cred him little slapping violently in
the face with her muddy tail. AS soon
as he had'got itall out Of his eyes, and
the obnoxious tail was tied up, Sam
seized teat with q confident air and
gave it vigorous squeeze. To his as
Constituent not drop of milk came.
Another energetic squeeze. No milk,
but the COW evidently attentive. A third
ana then fourth squeeze. Still no milk,
and the COW decidedly anxious about
something. The fifth squeeze, accom-
panied by a strong pull, as he had seen
Zeke do, succeeded in bringing some
thing at last. 1t was the cows hoof. 1t
was q long while after sam had been got
into the house, and his nose bound up in
q rag, before he could be convinced that
he had not been to Fourth of July cele-
bration. Nearly week after his eyes
still emitted a few feeble sparks, and it
still puzzles him TO see how so many
tons could have been crowded into that
cows hoot without hurting her..

"Fair. Play" In short, not to put too
fine point on it, one was stolen in part
from the other. The lady declares that
her story with the incident Of the ship
wreck and the life of the lovers on an un-

appears that Mr.. Reads book was not
