Why Wood Warps.


1t is said that wood on the north side
of tree viii not warp as much as that
from the south side, and that if trees
are sawed in planes that run east and
west, as the tree stood. it will warp less
than if cut in an opposite direction.
However this NAV be, the convex side
of the curve is always toward the heart
This warping, due to unequal shrink
age, and to the more open texture OF
the external portion of the tree, is not
found to occur in the middle plank or
board of the log, excepting as it may in
slight degree reduce the breadth. This
quality of not warping, which is in many
cases absolutely indispensable for GER
tain uses, as, for example, in the sound
ing boards of pianos, is secured in The
case of spruce timber by first quarter
ing the logs and then saving them with
the angle downward. It is then sawed
into boards very nearly at right angles
with the line Of annual growth, and a
small triangular strip must be taken of
to make the board square-edged. De

QUEER THINGS IN PAWN.

False Teeth, Skeletons and Babies offered
by Impeeunious Capitalists.
A well dressed man entered Market
street pawn shop last night, and quietly
putting his hand to his mouth took out
a full set of upper teeth, bound together
with plate of pure gold. After he had
rubbed them on his handkerchief he
handed them shyly to the clerk, and said
in a stage whisper:
Five dollars.
The clerk handed the man the money
and ticket and he slipped quietly out
of the door.
THAT mans been here three times
today said the clerk. 1.-THE first time
he left his watch and chain. The Sec
ond time he left his diamond stud and
ring. I've advanced him money on his
false teeth before. He's poker player.
He'll be back for the teeth and the 9TH
er things Monday or Tuesday. .sn
.'Do you usually loan money on false
teeth?" was asked.
mo, not often. Some pawnbrokers
do. A couple of medical students used
to come here who got hard up about
once month. Once they had pawned
allitheir spare clothing and all their jew
elry and books and instruments. A
couple of nights after they came here
with long bundle wrapped in gossa-
mer coat. They told me they wanted
ten dollars very badly. ] opened the
long bundle and found a human skele-
ton. All the bones were strung on sill
yer wire. Knowing them well I let them
have the money and carried the skele-
ton up stairs in the store room, where it
stood in corner for a month before
they came after it. Several times have
had women try to pawn babies. It's a
common thing for men to come in here
on bitter cold days and take off. their
overcoats and pawn them. A handsome
young woman walked in here this morn
ing, and, taking off a sealskin sacque,
pawned it for ten dollars. - Phitadel-

The number of pupils attending the
public schools of the State of South

1869. The eagerness of the colored
people to secure an education for their

Charleston is the largest in the State,
containing more than 1,400 pupils. The
school is divided into three depart
ments, grammar, intermediate and
primary. and is governed by Princi-

The Secret of the Ex.President.s
Sickness ON His Southern Tour.
Savannah Letter in the Baltimore American.
To '.artillery puilch' is due, perhaps,
the credit for even q greater share of the
reputation which the Chatham company
enioys than to the old brass cannon. |
personally know that the reputation of this
punch extends as far as the 10th parallel
of north latitude. EX-President Arthur
had bit of experience with this liquid,
which he will doubtless remember as long
as he lives Two or three years ago, it will
be remembered, President Arthur, Secre-
tary Chandler and few intimate friends
came down this way on fishing excursion,
with Florida for their object tive point. The
lamented TallapOOsa was mOOred off Sa-
yannah. and the ChathamS went aboard to-
entertain the presidential party. Savan-
nah water is nothing extra, and there was
not much else to- drink but artillery punch.
1t is the mildest and most innOcent-looking
LIQUID one ever saw. To the eye Sunday
school-picnic lemonade is wild, delirious
intoxicant beside it. Of a pale straw color,
and Just the slightest SuggestiveneSs in fla
yOr of lemon and rum, it is seemingly the
least pretentious of all the beverages that
claim Bacchus as godfather. But, great
Allah! how it does belle its looks and taste!
The president hid his disgust the best he
could as he drank of the seductive punch
to his own health Mr.. Arthur is con-
noisseur in liquors, and there was fine,
almost aesthetic something about that punch
that Immediately captivated the president.
Chandler was rather shy of the bowl and
cautioned the president. The latter replied
that he could take wheelbarrow load of
the beverage.
The country has never known what a
close call the late administration had. The
trip had been undertaken chiefly for the
presidents health. The physicians were
anxious and doubtful the next day. The
country wondered what had so infatuated
the presidential party with Savannah. The
truth was, the deception of unassrming
punch had got in its work on the nations
chief. He had an idea the next morning
that he was president of the whole Ameri-
can continent and good part of the rest of
the world. Careful treatment fortunately
brought him around again i'll few days,
but he has never had much to do with any
sort of punch since.
