FRENCH PoUNcIAG PROCESSES WITH
WooD-One of the most ingenious as well
as serviceable methods practiced by French
artisans in wood is that by which is pro-
duced complete resemblance to the color,
beauty and density of ebony by the skill
tul use of charcoal upon the surface None
but carefully-selected woods of close and
compact grain are employed for this pur-
pose, and these are covered in the first
place with coat of camphor dissolved in
water, and almost Immediately after with
another coat, composed chiefly of sulphate
of iron and nutgall. The two compost
tions, in blending, penetrate the wood and
give it an indellible tinge, and at the same
time render it impervious to the attacks of
insects. On these two coats becoming suf-
ficiently dry. the surface of the wood is
rubbed at first with very hard brush of
couch grass, and then with charcoal of
substance as light and friable as possible,
the fact being that, if a single hard grain
remains on the charcoal. this alone would
scratch the surface, which should be per-
fectly smooth. The fiat parts are rubbed
with natural stick charcoal, the indented
portions and crevices with charcoal pow
der, and, alternately with the charcoal,
rubbing is practiced with flannel soaked in
linseed oil and turpentine. These pounc-
ings, repeated several times, cause the char
coal powder and the oil 10 penetrate the
wood insuring beautiful color and per-
feet polish.

CANDELARIA, October 29th.-For some
time Mexican named Comas has been
doing q profitable business in live stock.
His plan was TO run or band from some
ranch and drive the stock to n distant
town, where he would sell them, and steal
another band there to dispose of elsewhere.
He stole lot of haSsts and mules at
Eureka recently. The Dwf:a; followed him

and regained the stoee. U1ts5ss then stole
a horse at Warmers wool rs:.5 II and started
south. Warner and man named Dunlap
followed. He was found in a cabin at
Chiatoviche's wood ranch, near Silver
Peak, on Monday. and began firing as soon
as he saw his pursuers. Dunlap returned
the fire, shooting him in the right side, and
a second shot broke his right arm. He
then surrendered. There being no doctor
in thai section. they cannot tell how badly
he is hurt, but 1t is supposed fatally. AN
officer went to bring him in, but could not
find him, and it is supposed his country
men had taken him out of the country.

A HEALTHY GRowTH.-It was the opin-
ion of many that the closing of the hy-
draulic mines that affected the Feather
river would ruin Plumas county. 1t may
be against some localities but judging
from the increased business of the Nevada
and California Railway in freight and
travel, both Plumas and Lassen counties
are having healthy growth. During the
month of August the travel and freight
over the Northern and California were
more than double those of the correspond
ing month last year. The outgoing freight
consists mainly of merchandise and sup
plies, and the incoming of the dairy and
ranch, wood and lumber. Monday is the
butter day, and over the road on that day
there is shipped three or four tons of but
ter, which goes to Virginia City. Since the
Chinese war was waged in Truckee, that
has ceased to be great wood camp. and
Reno is now largely dependent on the
northern country for her wood supply.
This increase of business will certainly be
an incentive for Moran Brothers to push
their road northward into the rich, pro-
ductive valleys that await its coming. The
extension of the line would soon double
and treble the present agricultural produc-
tons and would bring into market all the
available land on either side that now lies
idle-Reno Gazette.

A TEXAS CALF HUNT.-Four bloods, one
butcher, another a saloon keeper, the
third sport, and the fourth butcher car
rier, started out at 10 A. NJ. yesterday morn
ing to bring home calf recently pur-
chased. They intended to have good
time on the road, but never thought there
was such good luck in store for them.
When they went to the house the lady told
them the ca.f was in the barn, and, armed
with a stout rope, they entered the build
ing. 1t was rather dark inside so the old
lady opened the door little to give them
sufficient light. The four noviees hunted
the calf towards the door, when the fright
ened beast knocked the old woman down
and escaped into the field. For one hour
they chased this feet-footed beast, till at
last it ran its head between two spokes of
the wheel of a wagon. They tried for an
other hour to get out the head, the woman
refusing to allow the wheel to be smashed.
At last the butcher procured sharp knife
and cut the calfs head off. One of the
hunters tied the calf after his head was off,
fearing he would kick. The calf only
weighed 40 pounds. They had Texas

CLEANSING LADIES HA1R-We object 10
the use Of carbonate of potash by hair
dressers for cleansing the hair Of their Gus
toners. The cleansing action of this pow
erfully alkaline substance is very effective,
but it is prejudicial to the hair at the same
time. A teaspoonful of pulvarized borax
in cup Of boiling water or cleaning the
hair with the yolk of fresh egg, and fol-
lowing this with warm solution of borax
or salt and water, especially sea water, is
much preferable, and has the effect OF
cleansing and softening the skin of the
scalp. Eastern ladies, remarkable for the
beauty OF their hair, adopt the latter mode
of cleaning it.-HeTald of Health

LOCOMOTIVES IN JERUSALEM = Locomo-
dves now run in jerusalem. The rear of
the engines through the street that once
echoed the Crusaders tread is a historical
anthithesis. Not less striking is the con-
trast between the armorer's chamber,
whence stepped forth, armed cap-a-pie,
the knight of the fourteenth century, and
the erecting shop whence issues the mailed
giant of the nineteenth. Underneath the
medieval breastplate the might of muscle
underneath the modern boiler-plate the su-
premacy of mind; and both within a
span of five hundred years, that has at one
end the tower of London and at the other
the Baldwin locomotive works. There is q
strange vivid analogy between these two,
SO vastly dissimilar. Each is the epitome
of an age. and each age grotesquely at vari-
ance in methods and results, yet controlled
by the same human motives OF dominance
and conquest. But what the Crusader con-
quered and could not keep, the locomotive
holds in peaceful possession.-Iron Trade
