Old TIlnDer.

Probably the oldest timber IN the world
which has been subjected to the use of man
is that found in the ancient temples of
Egypt in connection with the stonework
which is known to be at least four thousand
years old. This, the only wood used in
the construction of the temple, is in the
form OF ties, holding the end of one stone
to another at It's upper surface. When
two blocks were laid In place, an excava-
tion about an inch deep was made in each
block, into which a tie shaped like an hour
glass was driven. Ii Is therefore very
difficult to force any stone from It's posi-
ton. The ties appear to have been OF the
tamarisk or shittem wood, of which the
ark was constructed, sacred tree in an
Cient Egypt and now very rarely found in
the valley OF the Nile. The dovetailed ties
are just as sound now as on the day Of
their insertion. Although fuel is extreme
ly scarce In the country, these bits of wood
are not large enough to make it an object
with the Arabs to heave off layer after
layer to obtain them. Had they been of
bronze half the old temples would have
been destroyed years ago, so precious would
they have been for various purposes.

SHADOWS.

Airily swing the Willows over
AiriIy to aud fro
Dreamily flows the quiet water
Over the rocks below;
Flows in many o sunny rimpls.
In and out in curve and dim"le,
Round about the rocks below.
Where the willows bend and culver
Long dark shadows shift and shiver,
Shiver to and fro.
Gray beard Time, his scythe forgett ng,
Toys with rosy June,
Losth to part. With step unwilling,
Slowly creeps toward noon
Humming-bird from blossom sippIDg,
Brown bees into clover slipping,
Fill the air with drowsy Groom
But the willows tossing, blowing,
Ger the waters smoothly flowing.
Evermore their sbadows throwing,
Break the luN OF neon.
Twilight gathering in the valley,
sunset on the height;
Clouds above the mountain breaking
Into rifts or light
Darkness now upon the meafows,
Higher, higher climb the shadows,
Nearer comes the night.
Curv.ng dimp ing flows the river,
With the willows dropping over,
But no shadows titful quiver
S;irs the hush Of night.

HereWard.

He was younger brother of the Earl OF
Mercia and devoted to the Saxon cause. At
one time, when the fens and Lake were IN
vested by the conqueriRg army of William,
the latter commenced making road from
Aldreth for himself and his army to reach
Ely. The marsh was only twelve miles
wide at the point, but the road was not
constructed on scientific principles, and |:
gave way while the greater portion of his
army were marching over it, causing fear
ful loss of life in the deep fen. The King
afterward mustered another army at Al
dreth, and compelled the fishermen to col
lect immense stacks of brush wood, which,
of course, would afford the foundation for
fine road. Hereward disguised himself
as fisherman, and was the most active
worker in the Kings employ, but he man
aged to set fire to the vast pile and escaped
to the Isle, where his fellows were. Short
ly after this the Earl Of East Angles raised
an army to tight the King, from whom he
had received much kindness; but he was
joined by the islanders, and the King did
what we wonder he had fOrborne doing at
an earlier period-he confiscated the estates
of the monastery that lay on the main
land; and while Hereward was away lead
ing an expedition at some distance for
toraging, the monks gave one thousand
marks to have their lands restored and al
lowed the Kings troops to enter their
stronghold. Hereward never submitted;
but, though he could not expect such
clemency, he lost neither his life nor his
liberty, nor even his lands. These contin-
ued till comparatively recent times in the
hands of his defendants who founded the
families of Rullos, Fltzgllbert and Wake.

Blue-TInted Paper.

The origin of blue-tinted paper came
about by mere slip of the hand. The
wife of William East an English paper
maker accidently let a blue-bag fall iuto
one of the vats of pulp. The workmen
were astonished when they saw the peculiar
color of the paper, while Mr.. East was
highly incensed at what he considered a
grave pecuriary loss. His wife was SO
much frightened that she would not confess
her agency in the matter. After storing
the damaged paper for four years, Mr.. East
sent it to his agent at London, with in
stractions to sell it for what it would bring.
The paper was accepted as ''purposed
novelty" and was disposed of at quite an
advance over the market price. Mr. East
was astonished at receiving an order from
his agent for another large invoice of the
paper He was without the secret and
found himself in a dilemma. Upon men,
tioning it to his wife, she told him about
the accident. He kept the secret, and the
demand for the novel paper far exceeded
his ability to supply it.

1 " as the dAn.

yes" said the Custom House man re-
tiectively, 1--WE have TO exercise good
deal of judgment in these things and soon
get TO know prices as well as men in the
selling business. Invoice the goods too
low ? Well, mostly everybody invoices the
goods low, but they run risk, of course.
We may add ten per cent, TO the invoIced
value and take the goods. So if a person
tries TO bring in 81 worth of stuff at 81
valuation, we can give him 81 10 and take
the article. Chance for speculatIonl Well,
not as much as you would think. One
of the younger members of the force some
time ago was alone in the Office, when a
man came IN and asked for word IN pri
vate. You see don't want my name
mixed up in this business, said the stranger
but I've been trying TO sell Jacob Ryders
you know Rydersl No? meanest cuss on
earth-to sell him IN organ, and he's gone
and bought one over the river. | admit
it's good investment-cost him 1926
but l could have sold him just as good a
one. Now he'll be over with it to-day very
likely, and will try to sneak it through at
$50 or 5000 to save duty. Wouldn't you
just watch out for him 2"
'DIy friend was musically inclined and

box appeared and Hurried man appeared
with an invoice in his hand that
set forth that. the accompanying organ

Lets look at that organ, said my friend
as he knocked off board from the packing
case and peered inside, seventeen stops,

''Oh, it's all right, " said the impatient
Ryders. Here's the invoice you see.'
"Well, I'll give you $l37 so and take
the instrument.
''But | won't sell it for that, cried the
excited Ryders.
''My friend showed him the ten per cent

prayers. Good bargain9 Oh, dunno. He
found afterwards that few of the stops had

The Choice Of Food.

First, as regards butchers meat t''attention
to the following simple directions will aid
the housewife in deciding upon that all-im-
portant point-its freshness. All lean
meat, when fresh, shows a deep purplish
red tinge with bloom over il on the out
side of the muscle, and q paler vermilion
red with just shade Of purple in the cut
surface. Mutton lean should be quite even
in hue, and have no flavor whatever OF tai
low; beef lean may be little marbled with
fat, but it must have no flavor of suet
The surface Of the meat must be quite dry,
even cut scarcely wetting the finger, and
the substance moderately soft, but at the
same time 80 elastic that no mark is left
after pressure from the finger. Keeping
the meat for day or two In the larder
should make no difference as regards this.
Then, there should be very little Odor in
single JOINT Of meat; 1t should not waste
much in cooking, and when brought to
table roasted, should retain its gravy well
until the knife causes it to gush out in
rich, appetlzing stream, full of inviting
scent and flavor. This is particularly the
case with mutton, and for ascertalning its
value, is the easiest test we know of. But,
push clean knife up TO the hilt into it's
substance. In good, fresh meat the resis-
tance is uniform, but when some parts are
softer than others we may be quite sure
that putrefaction has set in. The smell of
the knife is also good aid-and this, by
the way, is always useful In choosing a
ham; for, by pushing a knife deep III,
Withdrawing il and smelling 1t, one can tell
whether the flavor is very salt or the con-
trary. AS regards fat. The raw fat of
beef should be of slightly yellow color,
like fresh butter; that of mutton should be
very white. Lamb and veal should also
have very white and translucent fat,
whilst the lean of both should be pale, but
perfectly evenly tinted.
\ young and therefore tender fowl may be
kno IN before pluckIng by the largeness of
the feet and the leg joints and after pluck
ing thin neck and violet thighs may be
taken as invariable signs of age and tough
ness, especially in turkeys and fowls The
age of ducks and geese is tested in differ
ent manner-that Is, by their beak, the
lower part Of which breaks away quite cd
silly when they are young. One of the
chief and most Objectionable drawbacks TO
an old fowl, duck or goose, is the rank and
disagreeable SAVIOR. Young birds of the
gallinaceous tribe may be known by their
undeveloped spurs, and young partridges
by the pointed long wing feathers, which
grow rounded at the tip with age. In the
case of fish, many people trust to the sense
of smell; but this is not always to be de-
pended upon, as it may be deceived by the
use of ice. The best tesUs of freshness are
the fullness of the eyeballs and the bright
plnk hue of the gills when raw, and when
cooked the frmness of the flesh, which in
the case of stale fish is flabby and stringy,
even if preserved by cold from visible pu-
trefaction. The cheapest sorts of fish are
best to buy, for when any kind is cheapest
it is sure to be most plentiful, in fullest
season. and therefore most wholesome.

Use OF EverSreeRss

No suburban or country residence can
be considered complete without It's sur
roHndings of beautiful trees. Evergreens
should be extensively employed, because
they add greatly to the beauty of the sur
rounding scenery in the most gloomy part
of the year; but they should never be en-
ployed to the exclusion of the Geciduous
trees aud shrubs. Extensive drives and
walks are often bordered with evergreen
trees; but usually this displays bad taste,
inasmucn as the yield within such close
lines of dense foliage becomes monotonous,
aud the eye experiences safety instead of
pleasing variety. With deciduous trees
the most charming change Is continually
gong on; from the bursting of the buds in
the spring is one continual progressive ad-
vance from day to dav.

A PrInCely Boy.

In the palace of small German capital
a German duchess, distinguished for her
good sense and kindness of heart, was
celebrating her birthday.
The court congratulations were over, and
the lady had retired from the scene of fes-
tlvity TO the seclusion OF her private room.
Presently she heard light footsteps COM
ing up the stairs.
"Ah, she said, ''there are my two lit
tie grandsons coming To congratulate
me-"
The rosy lads of tea or eleven years of
age came in, one named Albert and the
other Earnest They affectionately greeted
the duchess, who gave them the customary
present of ten louis d 'or (about forty eight
dollars) and related TO them the following
suggestive anecdote:
There once lived an emperor in Rome
who used TO say that no one should q
away sorrowful from an interview with a
Prince. He was always doing good and
caring for his people, and when, one even
ing at supper, he rememb, red that he had
not done an act of kindness to any one dur
ing the day, he exclaimed with regret and
