White Pine OrnamentatiOn.

Some recent attempts with white pine
appears to give it value as an ornamental
wood which its common uses have not
heretofore suggested. The softness of its
texture and its susceptibility to injury may
have had some influence in preventing its
general use for ornamental purposes, but
the wood can be "filled." so that much of
this objection is removed, Its pure white
color-whitc as compared with other
woods-recommends it for purposes for
which holly has been heretofore used:
and the size of the timber from which
clear lumber may be cut is greatly in its
favor, boards of a width of sixteen and
even twenty inches being not uncommon,
with no shade of distinction between sap
wood and heart, and only the faintest per-
ceptible grain.
Some specimens lately examined show
a greatly enhanced beauty by very simple
treatment-tbe filling with warm shellac
varnish. bleached shellac in alcohol, APP
piled with a brush while warm. Several
coats are given, the last coat being rubbed
with pumice and rotten stone muistened
with water. not oil. A finish of flowing
coat of copal varuish completes the prep
aration. Thus treated the wood is of
faint creamy tint with the appearance of
semi-transparencv. Beautiful gradations
of tone were obtained by panels of this
prepared pine, holdings of holly. and
stilos of curly or birdseye maple, and fine
contrasts were made with the pine and
oiled black walnut.
The pine is too soft for floors, but for
doors, castings and chamber furniture it
seems to be admirably adapted. The fin
est specimens of the wood noted come
from Michigan, having fewer pitchy
streaks. and being of more uniform
color than the Maine product. Its ease of
working by carving, and the conference OF
its grain, are being utilized by masters
and amateurs in interior wood decorations

The First Quality of Manhood.

You want to know, Tom, what is the
first quality of manhood?
Well, listen. am going to tell you in
one word of five letters. And am going
to write that word in very loud letters, as
though you were deaf. so that you may
meyer forget it. That word is truth"
Now, then, remember. truth is the only
sure foundation on which manhood can be
erected, for otherwise, no matter how
beautiful the upper stories may be built,
the e1i;fce. the character. the manhood,
will be but -ham which offers no sure
refuge and protection 70 those who seek
it, tor it will tumble down when the trial
comes.
Alas, my boy. the world is very full of
such shams of manhood in every profess
ion and occupation. There are lawyers in
this town who know that they never have
had any training to fit them for their work.
who yet impose upon the people. and
take their money for giving them advice
which they know they are united to
give, heard of one lately who advised
his partner ''never to have anything to do
with law books, tor they would confuse
his mind,p
There are ignorant physicians who can
and do impose upon people more ignorant
than themselves. There are preachers
without number pretending to know what
they have never learned. Don't you see
that their manhood is at best but beauti-
ful deceit.
Now, want you to be a man. ard that
you may be that, want you first to be
thoroughly true. hope you would scorn
to tell lie, but that is only the beginning
OF truthfulness. want you to despise all

SAD AND sUDDEN DEATH

Miss LIZZIE Mohler. who was fatally
burned Tuesday died yesteday at
about O'Clock. She suffered no pain
except for q few hours after the accident.

services took place from the residence Of

Henry Mackay officiating.
The ending of her life IN so tragic a
manner, at q time when she was just en-

to a bright, happy and useful future, Is
a too real reminder of life's uncertainty,
and cause OF deepest grief and sad re-

but to the many young friends of the de-

extended is general and sincere.
