A Very Useful Substance,

The material known as woodite, devised
by Mrs Wood, clever Englishwo,nan,
promises to become a very useful substance
Its chief ingredient is cuoutchouc During
the past few months it has given good results
for variety of purposes and is now de-
clared to be especially adapted to many other
uses. According to Sir Edward Reed, M. F.,
it has been produced in divers forms, such as
fine sheets and ribbons for waterproof arti-
cles, dense blocks for resisting the blows of
shot or shell, and very satisfactory rings for
engine packing. One process converts it into
all elastic, sponge like substance; and an
other, in which it is mixed with whalebone
cuttings, gives it a rough or frictional quality
for mats. Some curious naval applications
have been worked out. 1t is made into armor
plates, which on being penetrated by shot
close SO tightly that no water is admitted,
and it is also formed into light and con-
venient cylinders for carrying compressed
air to drive life boats, torpedo boats and
scout boats, while it is suitable for making
floating or partly floating cables for pro-
lection against torpedo attacks, etc.-Frank

at once and keep moving from one board
to the other. The games would last from
SIX to ten hours, during which every
feature Of every game must be retained in
his mind. Persons who have begun to
play chess in q healthy condition of mind
and body have been known to succumb
physically before the end of hard fought
game.
Zuckertort's tactics were brilliant He
played with q sort of genius rather than
by ordinary rule. Indeed, the defeating
OF twenty first class players simultane
ously blindfolded was one of tho most re-
markable intellectual triumphs in games
ever accomplished. No player could per-
form such q feat except through the pos
session of certain faculties not belonging
to one person in millions. There must be
the faculty of playing the game and the
faculty of holding the different games in
the head at the same time, It was neces-
sary that Zuckertort should possess both
these gifts in not only remarkable but
in an unheard of degree.
The strain on these celebrated chess
players is so great that it breaks them
down after time. Paul Morphy, a re-
markable player of twenty-f five years ago,
died at last from trouble induced by the
prolonged mental strain involved in his
many wonderful victories, and no chess
player doing such wonderful work has
kept at it very many years.

Causes Of Nervous 1rritab1litv.

Appointment physician is quoted as saying:
"Were to give the true reasons at the root
of the growing inferiority, nervous irrita-
bility and insanity, which are sapping the
vigor of the time, they would be two things
the want of proper food by all classes and
the sedentary training, or want Of training.
among young people" There is good deal
to be said in favor of the military training
of Prussia, for our own boys nowhere get
better physique than at West Point; but the
old style, which is yet the very common
style, of education involves our young people
in sedentary habits. We are a nation of sit
ters, and not of walkers, and are taking the
consequences in the way of stagnation and
congestion. Heart disease and brain disease
and lung disease and kidney disease and
other congestive diseases follow too luxurious
eating and inanition.-Globe-D Democrat.

California has succeeded in inducing the

4 COMMEMORATE INSTITUTION.
The Club for Working Girls Founded at
HOb0ken,. N. j.

This is an age of clubs. Not only do
men have clubs, but the club fever is ex-
tending to women. There is class of
clubs composing 't'The Association of
Working Girls Societies. y which is calcu-
lated to give great deal of comfort to
hard worked woman. There are now
eighteen clubs in the association, whose
memt ers come from shops, Offices, factor
les and some from service. Each club has
name. which usually indicates the oharac-
ter Of the employment of it's members.
Fifteen of these clubs are located in New
York, Brooklyn, Yonkers, N. Y, and
Hoboken, N. j. The remaining three are
at Boston, Binghamton and Springfield,
Mass.
One Of these clubs-the Industrial So
ciety of Hoboken, N. J.-has it's own club
house. It was built especially for the
purpose and donated by Mrs. Storms, of
Castle Point. It is of wood, four stories
high. On the second floor there are large
parlors, which can be divided OF thrown
into one by shutting or opening folding
doors. The floors are carpeted, and there
are tables covered with periodicals and
newspapers. A piano is included in the
furniture of the club, so there need be no
lack of music. The windows are taste

scene of the torture of Col. Crawford by
the savages under command Of Capt. Pipe,
the renegade Simon Girtz and other
chiefs. A fine view of Fort Washington,
and another of the Indians attacking q
flatboat on it's passage down the Ohio,
will complete the picture of early pioneer

duction Of the barge boat in which Gen.
George Rogers Clarke set out to capture
Vincennes, another of the flag ship Law
renee lust after the battle of Lake Erie,
and others of early events about Cincin-
natl and at various places in Ohio. OF
course the celebrated treaty of Greenville,
by which Gen. Anthony Wayne obtained
the title to so much of the west, is con-
spicuous fact in the "barge" reproductions.
That treaty is the main reason why the
early history of eastern Indiana is not
so eventful as that of Ohio; but when
civilization had rolled on to the Wabash
and new generation Of Indians had come
to the front, Indiana's heroic age ensued.
It is not the least interesting Of the points
in the history Of the west that Franco
Miami civilization of certain sort began
on the Wabash before word of English
was heard west Of the Scioto; yet the war
ring age Of Ohio precedes that of Indiana
some thirty years, the interval separating
Gerty, Bigfoot, Capt. Pipe and Topeenabee

THE HOUSE ON THE POINT.


The cottage will afford the retirement
the presidents wife SO much needs, for
there is not another house within half
mile. Last season so much curiosity was
excited by her presence in the town as
to largely interfere with the rest she re-
quired after the strain of her social duties
Of the previous season in Washington.
Her object in choosing Marion is to gain
q respite from any social duties what:
ever. She is fond Of the country and OF
the seacoast, and in the summer home
as the excellent bathing.
Mrs. Cleveland has kept the time of
her going secret, but the fact that she
has selected Marion for summer resi-
dence has led to inquiries from a number
OF Bostonians for cottages, which demon
strates that there is no rest for those oc-
cupying exalted positions.

A prominent New York merchant whose
life was made miserable by the visits of
travelling statesmen, has invented a scheme
to get even with his prosecutors. At his
store door, under a big hand which
points up carpeted stairway, is the

be the fashion to belittle about every inven-
ton made, by showing that something in some
respects like the thing invented has been
known or dreamed of before. As general
thing these rusty rese1nblances are matters
of very little consequence. They go to show
that some one has tried to accomplish cer-
tain purpose and has failed, his failure result
ing in no benefit to the public.

Martha washineton's Complaint.

Benson J. LOSING, IL D., the distin-

newspaper of a conversation he had in 1913
with Alexander Hamilton's widow. One in
teresting remark made by Mrs. Hamilton
was one in reference to Martha Washington's
dislike for society. "Mrs. Washington, who,
like myself, had a passionate love of home
and domestic life, often complained of the
waste Of time she was compelled to endure.
