PROBABLY the Oldest timber in the
world which has been subjected to
the use Of man, is that found in the
ancient temples of Egypt, in connec-
ton with stone work, which is known
to be at least four thousand years old.
This, the only wood used in the con-
struction of the temple, is in the form
Of ties, holding the ends of the stones
together. When two blocks were
laid in place an excavation about an
inch deep was made in each block, in
which tie, shaped like an hour glass,
was driven. 1t is, therefore, very diff
cult to force a stone from its position

a composite photograph made up from a
succession of family portraits will yield
a remarkable result, giving features in

An Alabama Ghost

a ghost has caused o divorce suit and
broken up a once happy family in Blount
county, Alabama. About Ave years ago
James Martin married a Miss Noel, one
of the bellies of the county. The young
couple went to live, at the old Martin
home and all went well until about a
year ago. Mrs. Martin, naturally very
tinaid, heard a ghost rambling through
the old house n night and was badly
frightened. She told her husband about
1t, but he could hear nothing, he said.
From that time it became a nightly
visitor atsthe Martin home. Mrs. Martin
wanted to leave the old house ut once,
but her husband objected. declaring the
strange noises heard were made by rats.
Several times Mrs. Martin, SO she says.
saw a white robed figure wandering
through the old house, and soon her
nerves and health began to give way
under the strain. She was finally pros
trated by her fear of her ghost. and went
to the home Of her parents to recover
her health and strength. Fear of the
ghost overcame love of husband, and
Mrs. Martin refused to live with him
again. Martin tried in vain to induce
his wife to return TO the haunted house
to live, but she refused, and he filed a suit
for divorce on the ground Of abandon
ment.@Chicago Times.

The New Department.

The elevation of the agricultural bu-
reau to the dignity Of department. with
a seat for its executive head in the presi-
dents cabinet is of far greater import
ance than may seem. The bureau
of itself has no great significance. But
as q vehicle for business that oyerloads
either department tbs new
branch will grow in importance. The
interior department has far outgrown
proportions compatible with Its greatest
usefulness, and the general land office
could very properly be transferred to
the agricultural department. So, too,
with the signal office, which can be of
greater advantage to farmers than any
lother class.
There is also a range Of service In the
state department that properly falls
within the scope Of the new department,
and that is the system of collecting In
formation about foreign agricultural
methods and operations. This is
mingled, of course, with a statistical In
formation about many other things, but
to the farmer it is of the greatest value
as determining the prospect of his
market. This country could well afford
to station special agricultural agent at
every important foreign mission. The
interstate M commission, which
is classified us accessory to the interior
department, should be related to the

Personalities in Books.

1t is the Unborn curiosity wea all have
to know men in their inmost personality,
that makes autobiographies the most in
teresting books in the world. OF the
countless memoirs that have been pub
lished there are none that may be called
dull, for wen when there il dizziness,
and the self reTealer is relating details
common to humanity, the very fact that
we recognize it as dull, and SO class the
hero of the tale with common clay,
makes it interesting to the student. No
matter what his achievements. we per-
ceive that after all here was a man. He
may have attained eminence in this line
or that, have performed some great feat
in war, in politics or in art, but, after
all, he had, as the French lady said, 'his
hours and his moments"
There We're times when dullness over
came him like a fog, and the evidences
lie here in the book before us. There
fore, paradoxical as it may seem, there
are no dull autobiographies, for the rea--
son that their very dullness has its inter
esting features.
The fact that all the nopclists and story
tellers have put many of their stories in
the form of autobiography shows the
hold this method Of recital has upon the
mind. Robinson ,Crusaa. Is ten times
more real than If Defoe had related the
famous adventures in the third person;
the same may be said of Marryat's sea
novels. of Poe's best tales, and even of
Frank Stockton's grotesqueries. Tho APP
parently real narrator excites q personal
interest that throws a charm around the
whole story nothing else can give.-Chi-

The Failure of the Reading Iron
Works a Bad One.
OF
Twenty-Five Thousand L.borers Thrown
Out of Employment by the suspen-
sion-The Stringent Condition of
tho Iron Trade the Cause.

PHILADELPHIA, March 6.-The suspen-
sion of the Reading Iron works, one OF
the largest concerns of the kind in Penn
sylvania. is announced. The works are
located in Reading, and are owned by a
stock company. The liabilities are very
heavy. Edward w. Colt, the president
of the company, when seen said that the
company suspended payment Monday.
A list of the creditors is now being pre-
pared. Many of the stockholders of the
company are Philadelphians.
A director of the company said that,
at the meeting to be held on Thursday,
shareholders will be asked to take stock
or bonds in exchange for their claims.
Hs added that unless this was done
the company would be forced to liqui-
date and the creditors would then get
very little. The company has issued
$3.50, 900 first mortgage and $780, 90
second mortgage bonds. In addition to
this there is $500. 900 of preferred stock,
and $500, 900 of common. The floating
debt is said to be heavy. 1t was stated
by a prominent bank president that the
company has sold a large amount of
paper within the last six months, and
that some of the Philadelphia banks are
heavy creditors.
A stakeholder of the company said:
~ think that the plant is worth
$1,000. 900. don't know just what our
Liabilities are. On Jan. ] the company
had $500, 600 of mortgage bonds out
standing; q new mortgage for $500, 900
was made and bonds were issued. OF
these $500, 900 were issued to retire the
old bonds and S100. 900 to acquire ad-
ditional property. The company owns
about seventy acres in Reading and val
liable property in this city. We did a
large business, and two years & were
in very good condition. We put our
money into the business as fast as we
made it. A large business was formerly
done in piping for natural gas wells,
and this has fallen off considerable dur
ing the past year"
A dispatch from Reading says the
first judgment was entered against the
company by the Reading Railway COM
pany for $i40, 600. The cause of the
failure is generally attributed to the
stringent condition of the iron trade.
About twenty-five thousand men are
employed in the works. There are
three rolling mills, a steam forge, a
large machine shop and foundry, a rail
works and of the largest pipe and
flue mills in the country.
The liabilities are said to be about
LOCO, 900. OF this $500, 900 consists of
funded debt, and the balance, $500, 900,
due to various parties, mostly for ma
terial.
