PREsExvrNG WOOD.

.
Europe, which pays more attention
to the preservation of her forests than
America, is also careful not to waste
wood used in her industries. Many
IA railroad companies in Germany, Aus.
tria and Switzerland impregnate their
ir wooden ties or sleepers with chloride
of zinc, tar oil or combinations of the
the two to preserve them from decay.
"A few companies use corrosive sub
Innate and sulphate of copper for the
same purpose. A German engineer
reporting on the cost and effects of
these impregnating processes, says
that the eayerase5dursbility of woods
is extended as follows by impregna-
ton: oak, from 13 years natural life
to y years if impregnated; fir, from 4
to 1Oyears; pine from to II years,
= beech from 8 to l3 years; and larch
from 5 to Is years. The average cost
ofstheprocesses,i ,including carting to
~ and from the impregnating establish
ments, is about18 cents per tie. Twelve
per cent. il thus added to the cost of
each tie, while its life is extended
from 20 to 800 per cent.

GOING roR THE DOCTOR.


A Jolly old German rode to town
after physician for his wife, who was
very sick. He dismounted from his
horse in front of saloon just as the
boys inside had begun to make merry
over their first kee of buck. He ap-
preached and looked cautiouslyaround
the screen. The foaming glasses were
held high over the heads of the revel-
ers, as one of the number pronounced
q toast appropriate to the occasion.
The silent watch licked his lips, and
wishing his errand to town had been
one not requiring so much dispatch,
he was turning reluctantly away,when
the crowd saw him.
Halo = they shouted, there's Fritz.
Bring him inp
He was laid hold upon and hauled
up to the bar, all the while protesting:
.Poys, I vos in q quick hurry. Ole
woman sick like ter tyfel. I vos come

But he didn't go. AS one glass after
another was forced upon him by the
reckless crew, the object of his errand
was floated further and further from
his vision, until 1t was carried out of
his mind altogether, and his voice, un-
tinged with anxiety, Joined in the
drinking songs and rose above all the
others.
Thus he was found by his son, late
that night. The boy grasped him by
the sleeve and said:
.Fader, COON home.''
Fritz turned, and at the sight of the
boy a great fear arose in his mind,
swept away the fumes of the beer, and
brought him to sense Of the situa-
ton. In an awestruck tone he-asked |;
.Yawcob, how you vas come here !?

get him back again, though. He said
to them:
