How Timber is CreOsOted.

Large quantities of timber are now
creosoted at the West, in special man.
ner. for railroad purposes, the effect
being to increase the tenacity of the
wood for holding spikes, etc, as well as
its density, and its ability to resist me-
chanical wear. This is done by means
of an apparatus consisting of boiler
plate cylinder, of size adapted to the
timber; this cylinder is of strength
sufficient to resist three hundred pounds
pressure per square inch, and has
track extending for its whole length
along the bottom, the cylinders ends
being closed by strong iron doors, air
and water tight. When the timber has
been run into the cylinder and the doors
closed, steam at about one hundred
pounds pressure is injected into the
cylinder, the supply continuing as re-
ouired by the nature and dryness of the
wood: the steam is then shut off, and
vacuum pumps worked as long as any
LIQUIDS or vapors are obtained, the ho'

cylinder from the reservoir until full

Newspaper Etiquette.

1t frequently happens that visitors to
newspaper offices do and say things
which are improper, and rude, and an
moving. The visitor does not mean to
be rude, and has really not the slightest
idea that he is making himself disagree
able for the reason that he is not ac-
customed to newspaper etiquette. For
this reason we wish to throw out few
hints that will enable the visitor to avoid
unintentionally giving offence.
When you enter the printing office do
not handle the type in the cases. Ii
Won wish to examine the type say so to
the printer, and he will be glad to stop
his work and empty the case out on the
editors table, where you can sit in his
chair and examine the type at your
leisure. Never mind putting back the
tvne the printer can do that after you
get through.
Don't read the proof sheets, clippings
or manuscript. If you want to know
what is going to appear in the next
naner. ask the editor to read it out
aloud to you. He has plenty OF time,
and will be grateful to you for the
chance to quit his work and entertain
YOU. If you want to look over the cash
book. make the editor go and get it for
you.

Never spit tobacco juice on the floor;

while whizzing along in an express
train of the New York, Lake Erie and
Western Railroad the other day. 1 had
been deeply immersed in novel and
had not noticed that the weather had
changed and that it was raining. "Oh,
that's nothing; we see it every spring

man and his remark was addressed to
the man who had never seen the like,
The latter had arisen from the seat in
front of mine to get a drink of water
and had halted to gaze out of the oppo-
site window. The brakeman stood by
his side and continued: "That's nothing;
this is the dividing line between rain
and snow at this season"
CHANGING from my window on the
South side of the car I saw the pane
mottled with raindrops and a board
fence running parallel to the track black
with wet. Then peeping out of win

brakeman. "Of course I don't NEAR
that every storm here is snow to the
north of us and rain to the south of us

storm is sure to be divided within {
