Tie destruction OF lumber by forest
fires is known TO be very great in the
Eastern States, bat the West which is
land of big things, produces conhapra-
tions beside which Ouls are mere bon
fires. A correspondent in Washington
Territory says that the smoke from for.
est fires TINT have been burning there
all summer, oYerhang Oregon, Washing
ton, Idaho and part Of Montana, cover
ing u territory as large as alI OF New
England, the Middle States, Virginia
and part OF Ohio. But even such great
fires, bt ing OF infrequent occur ence are
not 80 destructive ~ the steady, always
increasing devastation wrought by the
lumbermen, who have no trLo fOresters
following them aud planting trees for
future use. Few people can be induced
to 10 ok tar enough ahead IN the matter
OF tree growi g. and fewer yet eare TO
improve the land for the general good
OF future generations. Yet ii Is worth
while from merely selfish oonsid-
erations for men IN middle life to
plant trees. A retired Philadel.
phian, sixty years OF age o.
thereabouts, was tidiculed by his neigh
bOrs when he planted peach orchard.
1t seemed hardly worth while for a mar
at his age to begin growing trees. But
he lived to enjoy the fruits not only o.
that orchard, but OF another planted ter
years later, and left b-hind him acres o.
woodland planted by his foresight
Much can be done by individual ant
associated enterprise, and 1t is upoI
such enterprise that the main reliance
for timber culture must be placed.

Now that the English people have
done so much to stem the evil of in-
temperance in the use of alcoholic
liquors, they are devoting their atten-
ton to intemperance in other things.
One OF these things is tea-drlnking,
concerning which there is now con-
siderable agitation in England. At a
large meeting in London, the other
day, the Dean of Bangor spoke of the
necessity of good cooking, and arraigned
severely the pernicious practice Of
drinking tea. This practice, he said,
renewed three or four times day,
made men and women feel weak, and
the result was that the tea kettle went
before the gin-bottle, and the physical
and nervous weakness which had its
origin in the bad cookery of an ignorant
wife ended in ruin, intemperance and
disease,

The glass used in this work is of
many grades and qualities. Glass of
varying thickness is much used for
giving lighter or darker shades. The
glass is heated to red heat and is then
punched by various tools, pressed by
dies, squeezed into ridges, or rolled
over an uneven surface. In this man.
ner the glass is so prepared that the
same effects of light and shade are pro
duced as by hand painting, and th
blending of the shades is more harmo
nious. In addition to the better effec
thus produced, when the light is shin
ing through the glass, the reflection
of light from the uneven surface of the
glass, when the light is shining from
within, reveals the form of the design
clearly, and yet the color varies as the
light strikes upon the raised surface
from different angles. Another new
method of treating glass, or rather
modification of an old method, is to
paint ''fashed" glass with acids, in
stead of etching the glass as formerly.
By this new method the work has
more picturesque look. A design Is
sometimes painted with acids on the
colOred side Of the glsas The color is
thus removed, and stained glass of an
other color or shade is placed behind it
to produce the proper shade or combi-
nation. The old Venetian style for the
production of "marbled'' glass is also
coming into more general use. In this
work shre& or bits of different colored
glass are placed upon the table on which
the glass to form the plate is poured
while 1t is i'll liquid form. As the glass
cOols it is rolled and pressed In the
usual manner to force these bits into
it. Another style much in demand
is known as "granulated" glass, and is
made in France. This glass is very
heavy, and one side is roughened, pre-
senting a surface appearance like
sand-paper. When held to the light,
it resembles ground glass, but the col
ors are rich and warm. Another new
style of material is known as "cracked"
glass. This is made in large circular
sheets. AS these sheets cool after
moulding, they are placed upon cable
having slight depression in the cen
tire, and the glass is pressed down into
this hollow, producing the effect of
many small seams or cracks running
through the glass in various direc-
tions.
There has never been any special
rage for one particular color or shade,
since the "blue glass consumption
cure" fever broke out about seven
years ago. Many dealers say that they
still have considerable demand for
blue glass from people who place great
faith in the theory that therays of light
shining through the glass are beneficial
to persons suffering from various COM
plants. The manufacturer and de-
signer, from whom the greater part of
the information here given was OBJ
tained, SAID that he had many calls for
blue glass from people who had been
advised to use it by well known ply
sicians IN this oitv

Love to-day,
For the autumn passes
Soon away
Chilly winds are blowing.

Fill the vacant places
With them, dear,
And the empty vases.

Sprays and leaves yet hold
Glints of summers gold.
In the drear December
When It SHOWS,
And the dying ember

To each leaf IL saves.

HOW WATCHES ARE MADE,

1t will be apparent to any one, who will
examine SOLID GOLD WATCH, that aside
from the necessary thickness for engraving
and polishing, large proportion of the
precious metal used is needed only to stiffen
and hold the engraved portions in place and
supply the necessary solidity and strength
The surplus gold is actually needless so far
as utility and beauty are concerned. In

come, and the SAME soLIDITY AND STRENGTH
produced at from one third to one-half Of the
usual cost of solid cases. This process is OF
the most simple nature. as follows: a plate
OF nickle composition metal, especially
adapted to the purpose, has two plates OF
SOLID GOLD soldered one on each side The
three are then passed between polished steel
rollers. and the result is strip of heavy
plated composition. from which the cases,
backs. centres, bezels, &c. are cut and
shaped by suitable dies and formers. The
gold in these cases is sufficiently thick to adj
NIT of all kinds of chasing, engraving and
enamelling; the engraved cases have been
carried until worn perfectly smooth by time
and use without removing the gold.
