GRANTING WOOD.
An Accomplishment Which May Be Ac-
quired by Most Persons.

An Accomplishment Which May Be Ac-
quired by Most Persons.
A person must have considerable
practical experience in granting wood
before he can do real nice, artistic job,
though almost any natural genius may,
after little practice, do very fair work.
Some of the prettiest bits of granting ]
ever saw were done by cute little chap
who made his combs out Of seasoned
hickory. But this was an exceptional
case. To do nice work a person should
have an outfit of the steel combs which
are made for the purpose. They come
in different sizes-coarse to fine. Fair
work can be done with two-medium
coarse and medium fine. They can be
obtained from almost any dealer in
paints and brushes. The surface to be
grained is first covered with body coat
of white lead and oil, to which is added
little turpentine. If the surface is al
ready covered with paint, one good coat
of body paint will be sufficient. If it is
naked wood, put on two coats, allowing
the first to dry before applying the
second.
The color paint comes in cans al
ready mixed If door is to be grained
apply the color to the upper half first,
then grain it, if dry enough, before
painting the lower half. This is one
of the main points to be learned by ex-
perience. If grained before it is dry
enough, the color will run and spoil the
grain. If allowed to dry too much it
can not be grained. To grain, hold the
comb at an angle of, say forty-five de-
grees, and draw it rather slowly along
the board. giving it the little turns seen
in the natural wood. Have a piece of
flannel in the other hand and wipe off
the comb often enough to prevent clog
ging or blurring. Continue the process
on the lower half of the door.
Let the beginner get a piece of oak
board with nice natural grain in it for
n pattern. If it has knot or two and a
few curls in it, SO much the better.
Plane it smooth so that the grain can be
seen readily, then keep it by him for
reference. Practice on piece of board
and learn how to hold the combs so as
to grain coarse or fine. curl about a
knot, make cut grains, side grains, ETC.,
etc., before undertaking any permanent
work. Granting in imitation of cherry,
mahogany and other woods is done by
using properly-colored body paint, and
the appropriate over color. After grain
ing is thoroughly dried it should be var
nished over.-Prairie Farmer.

White Men DISCRIMINATING the Whales on
Which Point Barrow Natives Live.

White Men DISCRIMINATING the Whales on
Which'Point Barrow Natives Live.
1.-The most northern inhabitants of
any Territory belonging to the United
States are rapidly dying of their pri-
vations," said signal service observer,
who spent twenty-seven months with
Lieutenant Ray at Point Barrow.
''Their suferings deserve all the more
sympathy because the whites are re-
sponsible for the great diminution in
their food supply.
These natives around Point Barrow
now number about four hundred souls.
Whales and seals are their staple articles
of food. The supply used to be album
dant. and the natives hardly knew what
hunger was. For twenty years past,
however, the coast off Point Barrow has
been a favorite resort of American
whalers. They have caught great num-
bers of whales there, and have almost
eXterminated them in those waters.
All whalemen have known for several
years that it was getting improbable to
seek for whales around Point Barrow.
'While we were there the one hum
drcd natives in the village at Point Bar
row caught only two whales. They
eked out living on eider-ducks and
other game obtained in the summer
months. The failure of their food sup
ply is possibility that constantly con-
fronts them. Every now and then they
are pinched for food, and this new hard
ship, added to the others they already
endured, are killing them fast. The
population of the four villages around
Point Barrow has decreased about one
third in the past fifteen years. For a
little while during our stay there the
natives in the village near our station
We're sorely pressed for food, and we
helped them out as much as we could
from our stores.
These natives are branch of the
EsquimauX. and they give the ethnol-
ogists who assert that the EsgulmauN all
came from Asia across Behring Straits
rather hard nut to crack. If their ances-
tors came from Asia it seems strange
that the natives of to-day appear to bear
no relation to the Choukchees, who live
just across Behring Straits in Asia.
Their languages are entirely dissimilar,
and, while the Point Barrow natives
hunt the reindeer, they have never do

The Advantages of Manual Training In
the Public schools.

The Advantages of Manual Training In
the Public Schools.
Eight pupils of one of the New York
grammar schools, all of whom are under
fourteen years of age, were among the
exhibitors at the American Institute Fair.
Although manual training is not includ-
ed in the ordinary grammar school
roster, it has been the practice of the
principal of their school, Mr.. McNary,
to form a voluntary class in elementary
shop work; and so successful has this
effort been that the models made by these
youthful mechanics were judged worthy
of place in the machinery department.
They comprise a pump, a dumbwaiter,
a guillotine, brick and mortar elevator,
a screw press, foundry crane,
a derrick, two pile drivers. vapor
furnace, a blower, and an inclined
railway. They were built to illustrate
the applications of the six mechanical
powers, and are very creditabie to the
Intelligence of the scholars. The adj
vantages of manual training are becom-
ing more apparent every day. With the
abolition of the apprentice system, it is
indeed almost a necessary branch OF
education if the mechanic arts are to
be brought to any degree of excellence.
Many a man who is but an indifferent
clerk or salesman would. if his inge-
unity were turned in the right direction,
make an excellent artisan. The reopen
ing of these old avenues of occupation
is verv desirable revival. and one
which. may be expected to produce
practical benefits. Scientific american.

When the New Zealanders want to
