How to make woods, such as cherry,
mahogany, ETC., look like ebony, is Of
ten desirable. The following directions
are given: To initiate black ebony,
first wet the wood with solution of
logwood and copperas, boiled together,
and laid on hot. For this purpose two
ounces of logwood chips, with II ounces
of copperas, TO the quart of water, will
be required. When the work has be-
come dry, wet the surface again with
mixture of vinegar and steel filings.
This mixture may be made by dissolv-
ing two ounces of steel filings in one.
half pint of vinegar. When the work
has become dry again, sand-paper
down until quite smooth. Then oil
and fill in with powdered drop black
mixed in the filler. Work to be ebOn-
lied should be smooth and free from
holes, etc. The work may receive a
light coat of quick-drying varnish,
aud then be rubbed with finely pulve
izedDpunice stone and linseed oil until

THE POLITE NEW LoNDoNER.--The
Providence Star relates pretty story
thus: After all, sincere politeness is
the sweetest and most acceptable. The
other day saw New London man in
Providence "a New Londoner not
noted for his urDanity, but rather for
his grisly austeIity. At home, he new
er lifts his hat TO anybody. Well, he
was OH the Pawtucket horse cars, when
there came throbbling up poor de-
formed girl, Flooding along by the aid
of a rude crutch. She was hunchbdck-
ed and had hip indrmity; in fact, it
seemed as if all the corporal Affections
had devastated her delicate little body.
Now what did this grim old New Lon
doner do, but dismount and help her
aboard, and what did he further do,
but unpin his button-hole bouquet, and
hand it to her; and what did he still
further do, but raise his hat and make
her the profOundest of bows; In return
for all of which she beamed upon him
one OF the saddest or smiles-a smile
so sad it seemed TO have caught the
sweet melancholy of the October sun
shine. He was gentleman of the old
school, school that ought never to
have been dismissed.

The action of the German govern

in pork, said: II do not think the position
taken by the German government In regard to
American pork will have much oct upen the
market here. When the French government
made war upon our pork some time ago there
was cause for aHprehending that our trade
would be injured and such was tho case until
the prohibition was removed. We don't send

Economy is Wealth.

A father. accompanied by his little
son, called at drug store on one of the
avenues and asked for a cheap sponge.
He was one of our rich citizens. and as
he spoke he fumbled with his massive
gold watch chain, and looked worth a
million.
The druggist put lot of sponges be-
fore him, and he glanced through the
lot and asked how much they were.
"All the way from so cents to 81"
said the drug man.
"Oh, but i want it for the boys
slate said the citizen; "it is hardly
worth while to pay so much"
well. then, these are what you
need said the druggist, as he put out
collection Of small hard sponges.
These are five cents each"
The wealthy citizen fingered them
over, and examined them one by one,
and still did not seem satisfied.
"Here are some at one cent EACH"
said the druggist, who began to know
his man, "you might find something
among these" q
The citizen examined each one and
still hesitated. At last he selected a
small dark fragment. and holding it up
said: $3.50. -
This one seems to be imperfect. How
much will it bep"
Nothing" answered the druggist
shortly, as he re-arranged his stock of
sponges. "Have it done upp"
"No," said the citizen, handing 1t to
the boy and following him out, when

"Say, pa, amt you going to give me

in that township. with an exact descrip-
ton and location of each, from the
legal surveys. The same thing is be-

the work shows that roads originally
surveyed and opened five rods wide
have been narrowed to three-and-a-half
rods by illegal overreachments by pro-
perty owners. This is work of 30

of legal records, maps, etc., for the
future, that it would be good thing

A Michigan Central Improvement.

Detroit Evening News. Nov. l.
General Manager H. b. Ledyard Of
the Michigan Central, returned from
New York after an absence Of 10 days,
and was found at his Office brim full of
business. The plans and specifications
for the
NEW MICHIGAN CENTRAL DEPOT
were adopted while Mr.. Ledyard was
in New York, and are now to be seen
at his office. The design is by an east
ern architect, and provides for build
ing that will meet all the demands of
the roads to occupy it, and at the same
time be an ornament to the city. Its
dimensions over all will be 180x400
feet and three stories high, and will &C.
cupy that part of the present site imme-
diately on the corner OF Third and
Woodbridge streets. Adjoining this on
the west part of the whole will be a
two-story building and one-story
coach, or train shed.
EIGHT TRACKS
will enter the depot, and instead Of a
monster shed covering the entire track
room there will be sheds covering the
passenger platforms between the tracks
and the latter will be covered. This is
the latest idea in passenger depots.
Passengers will pass from the waiting
rooms and ticket offices of the main
building through a vestibule to the
trains, which will be separated from
the depot proper by fences for greater
security and regularity. The entire
building including sheds and annexes, is
to be built of brick, with brown stone
trimmings. and in a thoroughly sub.
stantial manner throughout. and is
ESTIMATED TO COST $4,000.
The work of removing the present
buildings to commence the new begins
at once, and the latter, with all its ap'
puItenances, will, it is thought, be com.
pleted and ready for occupancy in less
than 10 months.
