A New York young man in three
months gave his seat in car TO fifty
nine women and girls-young women,
old women, pretty girls. ugly girls, shop
girls, cash girls, rich girls, colored girls,
washerwomen, women with diamonds
and sealskins. and very shabby women.
Every one of these thanked the young
man. One grateful old soul gave him a
doughnut from her basket; several of
them held his satchels and bundles
while he stood. He had cough once
and q kind-hearted old woman told him
what to do for it, and on one occasion a
grateful old Hishwoman announced to
the car that he was "a gintleman if ever
there was wan" Perhaps, after all,
when woman neglects to thank man
for giving her seat it may only be be-
cause she fears he may be .smasher''

Gen. Longstreet, now a silver-haired
veteran, went to see how he was repre-.

said: ''Well, it seems to be about al

The prevention of decay in wood is
said to be effectively accomplished by
exhausting the air from the pores and
filling them with a gutta percha solu-
ton, substance which preserves the
wood alike from moisture, water, and
the action of the sun. The solution is
made by mixing two-thirds of gutta
percha to one-third of parafine, this
mixture being then heated to iquify
the gutta percha, when it is readily in
troduced into the pores of the wood,
the effect of the gutta percha being,
when it becomes cool, to harden the
