French Method Of Polishing Wood with
Charcoal.


Charcoal.
The method Of polishing wood with char
coal. now much employed by French cabi-
net-makers, Is thus described In a Paris
technical journal: All the world now
knows of those articles Of furniture Of a
beautiful dead black color, with sharp,
clcar-cut edges and q smooth surface, the
woed Of which seems to have the density of
ebony. Viewing them side by side with
furniture rendered black by paint and var
nish, the difference Is so sensible that the
considerable margin of price separating
the two kinds explains itself. The opera-
t;ous are much longer and much more
minut, in this mode of charcoal polish
ing, winch respects every detail Of carving,
while PAINT and vaInish would clog up the
holes and widen the ridges. In the first
process they employ only caIefully-selected
woods, Of close and compact grain; they
cover them with coat Of camphor dis
solved In water, and almost immodiately
afterward with another coat composed
chiefly Of sulphate Of iron and nutgaIl. The
two compositions in blending, penetrate
the wood and give it an indelible tinge ut
the same time rendering 1t impervious to
the attacks of insects. When these two
coats are sufficiently dry. they rub
the surface Of the wood at first with

He listened because he liked to study char
acter-human, not equine-and was fascin-
ated by a desire TO know what Barker would
find to say when each fresh screw appeared
on the scene. But his silence as to his own
opinion concerning the merits or dement's of
each animal, and the calm contemplative
way in which, smoking his cigarette the
while, he watched the horses pass and repass
drove Mr.. Barker almost to distraction. That
worthy didn't know whether he had to deaI
with a fiat or with q wiser mar than himself.
All business men are aware that this places
one at a terrible disadvantage in a negotia-
ton. 1t is annoying TO find you have treated
a clever man like a fool; but doubly SO to
lind you have treated q fool like a clever
man. That is one of the risks Of business.
Mr.. Barker was themore uncertain because
he tried Frank both ways. On each of the
first fifteen horses he showed him he placed o
ridiculously high price-then resolving that
his customer was a knowing one, he veered
round and asked a very low figure for the
next score OF animals paraded. Yet Frank
made no sign, and Barker was quite puzzled
He even grew suspicious and glanced at
Frank legs, thinking it just possible that
their owner was a householder from another

head.
AT last they decided to ask n Mr.. Turner,
but the decision was arrived at with misgiv-
inEs; for Mr.. Turner was in trade. He was,
however, n merchant prince-even n mer-
| chant emperor-and, as Horace expressed it,
was n member Of the aristocracy of wealth.
They felt that Mr.. Turner might be asked at
| short notice, and would not be offended
when he heard il was TO meet Lord Kelston.
This is one of the many advantages of onter-
tanning lords.
Nevertheless they were conscience stricken
at having asked any one TO stop a gap, so
made amends by arranging their guests 60
that Mr.. Turner should sit on Herbert's left
hand; Horace's supporters being Lord Kel-
ston and his friend, Mr.. Simmons. Tho latter
was a man Of middle age, with dark Eyes and
exquisitely chiselcd aquiline features, and
wearing an air Of refinement that at once
commended him to Horace.
Tho dinner began propitiously, and pro
gressed faultlessly. Tho table, over the dec
Grafton of which the brothers had spent much
time and more thought, vast perfect picture.
When their guests were only men the Tai
berts were extra particular. The lack of the
refining element, the presence of woman, had
to DO compensated by an ultra fastidiousness
Of detail. Even Frank, who had been behind
the scenes, marveled at the effect of his hosts
hospitablo and artistic exertions. But, all the
same, he pitied them as we should all pity a
host who is certain to be rendered wretched
by a tureen of burnt soup or q bottle Of
corked wine.
Horace talked gravely and pleasantly to
the right and to the left. Herbert was com.
PEELED to attend almost entirely to Mr.. Tur
ner, who had a booming voice, which he in.
sisted upon making heard. Frank, who was
next to the artist, found the dinnernot SO dull
as he had feared it would be.
In the course of conversation Horacelearn
that Lord Kelston's friend was Mr.. Simmons,
the noted barrister, who had so suddenly
sprung into eminence. Mr.. Simmons was q
Jew of gentle birth and education, and Horace
was veryfond Of high-class Jews. So tho two
men got OIL admirably. Frank also knew
who Mr.. Simmons was. Herbert did not.
All went on as well as the Talberts could
have wished until the claret was placed on
the table. Then an awful thing occurred-a
contretempS, which to this day is a sore sub
ject with Horace and Herbert. 1t all arose
from inviting the stop-gap. Listen.

The Zulu's Keen Eyesight.

At recent meeting of the society of
arts in London paper was read on the
subject Of aids to the eyesight. Dwell
lers in towns, it was remarked, rarely
looked at a distant object, ard the
townsmans eyesight is hopelessly inferi-
or to that of the average Scotch forester,
who again is surpassed by the savage.
An anecdote was related to show how,
with all the advantage which science can
provide, Engishmen are still less we'll
equipped than the Zulu, who never
heard Of an aid of vision. A gentleman
in Zululand, by the assistance of a
powerful binocular glass, made OUT two
distant objects on the horizon. One
was larger spcck than the other, and
he guessed that this was a mounted man,
whose companion was walking. The
Iulus with him looked in the direction
indicated, and at once informed him
who the gentleman was, and that he was
accompanied by his wife on foot.

1t is fact, as every dairyman who has

Coarse and unpalatable feed, such as

Sheep will do we'll in partly cleared

considerable size. In most woodlands

the greatest drawbacks to success. The
burrs get into the wool and greatly i'm

grubbed out in woodlots the same as in

Thousands of families in this country
keep but single COW. 1t is especially
important in this case that she be a good
one; for more depends on the single COW
of the householder of moderate means
than on any one of large herd. AS
milk is more important product from
the single COW than butter is, the cow
should be trained to give mess until

Few farmers where grain or hay are

feeding the same land will keep herd
OF tifty-four. He recommends building
the siIo in substantial manner of brick
and stone. He feeds half-rations of en-
silage each day-sixty pounds to each
animal-with English hay, two quarts
OF meal and four quarts of bran. The
consumers of his milk like its quality,
and have never found any fault with it.
He plants the Southern white corn on
