virtue. No matter what may be the rep
utation, nor how brilliant the talents of
writer. II his moral teachings are at all
questionable, they cannot find place in
our magazine. And beyond this, its pub

Black walnut Lumber.

A short trip among the lumbermen fully
sul,stautlstes the statement made n few days
since that the eastern furniture manufacturers
are seriously troubled ut the scarcity OF black
walnut timber, and that the whole supply IN
The United States has now become entirely IN
adequate TO the demand. The difficulty OF OBJ
ianing this wood, which is now so popular,
is SO great that the question Is brought sharp
~ home, what is to he done in the future,
and to what place are the dealers to look for a
supplyg" Within the last year the price has
increased 25 per cent, but even at such advanc-
cd figures 1t is almost impossible TO secure the
needed stock \ few years since man would

er, but now he must journey from town to
town, picking up n few thousand feet wherever
he may chance to find any for sale, and ac'
counting himself lucky If he obtains the de-
sired amount at almost any cost There are
dealers always ready to pouncc down on any
lot of walnut that a farmer may wish to dis,
pose of, and, as one OF our dealers said III
you get your eye on few hundred feet you
must sit down on it Immediately, and stay
there until you clinch the bargain, for IT you
leave it for an instant some one else will take
advantage of your absence, and when you re-
turn YOU will to certainty find 1t gone
The supply In the country was never very
large, not averaging more than one tree to the
acre and such has been the demand that new
states in which it formerly abounded arc al
most entirely denuded, and in many of those
from which the present supply comes it has to
be hauled across country for distance OF
twenty or thirty miles, The principal sources
of supply were formerly Canada West and In
diana, bu. they are now dcnuded, and the
lumbermen have to 90 further south into Mis-
souri,, Kentucky, Tennessee and Kansas, where
the wood obtained 10 considerably interior
seemingly deter .orating in quality the farther
south 1t grows. Not only have eastern dealers
this scarcity to contend against, but, as before
stated, the western manufacturers, being on
the spot, secure the Hons share and leave their
eastern competitors out in the cold. In fact
comparatively but little work IS done here; ii
man wishes nice walnut set and sends his
order into dealer it will be turned out for
him, but otherwise little work Is done. But
ternut has been substituted to some extent

description of Its workings Is interesting. On
the ground floor is boiler, 80 feet long and
AZ feet in diameter containing 100 feet Of ! y

verted into liquid by cold water thrown over 1t
in fountain jets This liquid passes into $4,000
feet of y inch pipe arranged in vertical sec
tions thirty feet high and three feet apart, and
its sudden liberation into these pipes turns the
LIQUID pure ammonia into vapor, and the sud
den expansion makes the pipes intensely cold.
Now above these hundreds of vertical pipes
are innumerable little fountain jets throwing
spray all over the pipes, the spray freezing rap
idly, forming IN immense icicle OF pnrc ice
around each pipe. The gas neat goes into 10.
600 feet OF absorbing pipe, and, being cooled
by water running on the pipes, it Is met by
water forced into the pipes, and thus convert
ed back into aqua ammonia, which goes INTO
a big boiler, and is used over again. There

"A Mutual Mistake.

Last week Mr. Robert Sweat, of Warren on
his way home from Bowling Green, stopped
AT the house of his brother.in.law, Mr., Robt.
Holland, IN the neighborhood OF Hadiey, to
stay all night About the usual time The
household retired, and Mr.. Sweat was put in
a bedroom adjoining and opening into the one
occupied by MIR, Holland and his wife. =,
Some time in the night Mrs. Holland heard
a noise in the room in which she anu her nus
band were sleeping, and, on awakening, saw
man standing near the foot of their bed she
quietly aroused her husband, and he jumping
out of bed, literally saligh,ed upon the back OF
the intruder and rode him o1t of the room.
The burglar opened the wrong door, and, III
stead of getting out of the house, got into Mr..
Sweatt's room. That gentleman IN the mean
time WAS sleeping soundly, and dutlfuliy
dreaming of home and his mother. Starting
up about half awake, and seeing the two fig
ures enter his room, he imagined that the
burglar was his mother and that Holland was
somebody trying to kill her Quick as thought
and without word he went for the supposed
assassin and planted blow on the side OF the
head that brought him to the floor half stun
ned, and before he was able to get up, Sweat
was "onto him like thousand of BRICK and
using him up at fearful rate. The astonish
ed burglar took advantage OF the SITUATION
and escaped through the Wlnuo"' Aitei hooi
ing Holland. Sweat thought that his assass
was safe and turned his attention to his moth
err Just IN time to see her jump out OF the
window He ran to the window and was just
getting out himself when Holland, recovering,
saw his Jurglar, as he thought, about to get
away, and rushing to the window he seized
him by the back of the neck and pulled him
hack into the room. Then the two men began
again life and death struggle. This time
Holland got the best of it, and had just about
closed the jugular vein of his broth.rln.law
when third person appeared on the scene
THIS was young man who lived with Hol
lana, and as he entered and spoke Holland
said to him: "Well, I've saved one of them y
Hearing Hollands voice, Sweat teebly gasp
ed as that you, Bob?n Holland, IN amaze
ment, released bis hold on Sweatt's neck, and
exclaimed In dlsmay: as that gou Bob?
They both answered Yes" and the fight end
ed. BY this time the whole house was aroused
and lights beng brought the bro,hers-'n Law
were found in an exhausted condition and
badly used up. Looking at the matter after
it was all over, it is rather amusing, but the
actual experience is anything else.-R"sscH
