Drawing Him Ont.

81 am going to have the celebrated
Prof. Won Dunkelneim at the reception
.O-nig 1t" said Mrs. Marlborough Crpsus
to Mrs. Sharpe; he's a great acquisi-
tion-so very profound and learned, you
knOw-but lie won't talk. Nobody has
succeeded in making him talk. If there's
anybody at Newport that can draw him
out, my dear, it you, and l want you to
Try your skill on him"
Wha s his speciality"
Butter" That was what Mrs.
Sharpe understood Mrs. Marlborough
Crue-uS to say.)
Butter? Why, that's queer fad for
a learned professor. But III do my
best"
That evening, at the reception, Mrs.
Sharpe opened out bravely upon Prof
Won Dunkel elm at the first opportunity.

this afternoon. professor" said site, 3" 1

Jersey cows that 1 have ever seen in my
ife"
"Ah7"
And at one place the cows beyond
the fence cont mplated US with such
gentle, tender eyes, and such soulful
moOs that for moment l forgot their
practical value in their aesthetic attrac-
tiOns. But after all, / thought, IL is not
for their beauty that we should value
them, but for the butter they produce"
' Um.
Mrs Sharpe ratified on about the cows
for conversational mile or two without
drawing out any response from the pro-
lessor.
1T is because he thinks 1 don't know
anything about the way butter is made
that he won't talk, thought Mrs.
Sharpe. well, 1 will convince him
that L do kno something about it."
And she proceeded 20 discuss the
creamery methods in vogue in Vermont
with an infinite deal of ak about cool
ers and temperature and mechanical
butter workers, ana SO on. She hadn {
crammed on the subject ali the afternoon
for nothing.
But not a word could she get out of
the professor beyond the " "Um and
"Ah?"
He was plainly very much bored and
edged away after while. Mrs. Sharpe
was in despair.
Presently Mrs. Marlborough Cresue
got her into corner and said:
Why what in the world do you mean
by talking forever to Prof. Won Dunkel-
helm about cows and creamerie5 and all
that sort of thingP

There was a numerous party. The

and hostess were so absorbed IN their

newcomers TO any Of them.
As the newcomers we're about 70
leave for home this conversation took
place.
Hostess.-"I trus', Mrs. NJ, that you

good people, Mrs. c., but we have really

HaIne of Tonphened Timber.

By the new process of toughening TIM
Der, it is claimed that the effect pro-
duced upon white wood, is such that q
cold chisel is required in order to split
it.
This result is accomplished by a
special method of steaming the timber
and submitting 1t to end pressure, techni-
cally " upsetting it. F"
By this means the cells and fibres are
compressed into one compact mass /;
and it is the opinion of those who have
experimental with the process that
wood can be compressed to the extent of
some seventy-five per cent, and that
some Of the timber now considered unfit
for use in such work as carr age build
ing, for instance, can be made valuable
by this means as q substitute for ash,
hickory, etc.

"Good-by, father"

And the train starts, bearing the boy
away to college. The old man watches
1t until it IS out OF sight, and brushing
away his tears, turns to a friend.
There goes my boy to get an educa-
ton. l tell you, sir, its something to
have a boy like thatr and the happy
father turns and getting into his wagon,
which is standing near by, drives home.
A year has gone by and the same
wagon is standing in the same place,
and the old man with a radiant lace is
waiting for the train which is bringing
his boy home.
1t comes putting into the depotand the
boy steps down.
Hello, govnor."
The old man says nothing; those care
less words and that careless tone have
struck him to the heart. Again there
are tears in his eyes, but he does not
say:

RHYMES FOR BORROWERS.
Curious Means of Claiming Ownership
In Books.

Curious Means of Claiming Ownerrhfp
In Books.
Some people have a strange way
OF designating their ownership OF books.
or course you remember, when a
schoolbOy, what ridiculous dOggersl
some OF the scholars wrote In theirs.
As for example;
This book Il John Smiths,
My fist is another;
You touch one
And you'll feel the other
And again:
" Steal not this book, my honest friend,
For fear the gallOwsl be thy end"
Once more:
" Steal not this book, for fear of shame,
For here you see the owners name;
And when you die the Lord will say:
Where IS that book you stole awayT
And II you say you do not know,
BE Ihen will cast you down below"
A great many grown-up children
have adopted the custom In q graver
mood.
The two verses commonly used are;
If thou art borrowed by a friend,
Right welcome shall he be,
To read, TO study, not to lend,
But to return to me-"
And this:
Not that impaired knowledge doth
Diminish learnings store;
But books, ! find, Il often lent,
Return TO me no more"
There IS one found in a book formerly
belonging to wel-kuOwn resident OF
New York:
Any one may borrow, but gentle
man returns"
David ". Jayne's books have the fol-
lowing Scr plural quotation:
Go thou rather TO them that sell,
and buy Tor yourselves. %
The following rather severe lines were
used bya Massachusetts man:
d" Stern power OF Justice, lift thy wand
In spite OF mercy's look;
Strike him who with presumptuous
hand
Purloins this valued book
Aaron Putnam, who flourished In Med
ford, Mass, abo one hundred years
ago, used these lines:
" The w, ked borrow, but do not re-
turn aga n. See thou art not one OF that
numtcr"
duncan c. Pell, Of New York, had
tn ratrer churlish motto, not at ali In
keep ~ with his character:
" He does not lend his OOks."
W. J. Smelling, one OF the eariv editors
OF the Boston Herald, had these in
ructionS:
