a dancing party to the teachers in

Woods for Fine furniture.

Oak-finished antique will be as much
used as ever in the manufacture of
furniture next year. It is the most
popular of all the woods, and the de-
mand for it is steady. and no signs of a
change in popular favor are apparent.
Walnut is nowhere in the race with
oak for popularity. and furniture of
that richest of all materials, especially
for the bedroom, boudoir and dining
room, remains in the ware-rooms I'M

will be, for the finest goods, and cherry

in favor and will continue in the front

much longer. as there is nothing to
take its place. For the cheaper grades
of furniture, ash, maple, birch, and
these woods, with various stains and
finishes, continue, as they always will.

Secret Hiding Places

One of the most interesting features
of our country houses is the secret
hiding place. This generally has been
contrived with much architectural
skill, and in days gone by baff1ed dis

experienced eye. In certain cases it
would appear that. for some reason Or
other, the hiding place has been
specially kept secret among MEM

seat of the old family of Senhouse- In
this time-honored mansion there is
said to be a real secret chamber. its
exact position being only known

An Odd Bank of Deposit.

A reputed old maid of sixty sum-
mers, who had been for years in the
service of a grocer at the Hailes, died
a few days ago. and, as she was be-
lieved to have saved little money,
her niece. a young woman OF eighteen,
lately welded to policeman. searched
among her clothes and boxes for the
treasure. Nothing, however. was to
be found, although the mattresses.
which, with French people of this
class, often plays the part of bank,
had been ripped open and examined
carefully. A large cheese was discoy-
cred in a box under the bed. but as it
was too strong for the palates of the
policeman and his bride they disposed
of it to the grocer for the sum of ten
francs. The next day, as the worthy
man was cutting the big cheese. his
knife came in contact with hard
substance, and presently gold pieces
were rolling about on the floor. The
secret was at last out. The cheese
was now carefully examined. and was
found to contain 1000 francs in notes
and gold; but, unluckily for the pre-
| sumed heiress, there was also bit Of
parchment. on which the venerable
Rosalie had penned few lines. setting

Where Is the American Tar3

That large proportion of the sea-
men on our men-of-war are foreigners
is a fact unpalatable, but nevertheless
true. How much of menace it may be
to the Nation in the event of war re-
mains to be seen. When the frigate
Constitution made her memorable
cruise under Hull, which resulted in
the capture of the Guerrero, every
man was an American sailor, the
great majority of them belonging
Marblehead. But to-day there is no
incentive for the average American
youth to adopt the sea as a profession.
There are no ships, no encouragement,
no prospect. and they drift into other
pursuits. The cruiser Boston may be
taken as sample of the nationalities
making up her crew. The pay-rolls

SENSATION OF COLOR.

n otes on the Comparative Cost of Differ
ent Impressions.
Prof. S. P. Langley, it is said, has
recently succeeded in measuring the
amount of energy which is used in
impressing upon the ,retina the sensa-
ton of certain kinds of light. His re-
suits give a good idea of the minute
measurements which physicists can
make. The standard or unit of meas
urement in these minute matters is the
amount of work done in raising a
gramme, which is about fifteen and
one-half grains. to a height of one
centimeter, or less than twO-fifths of
an inch. Insignificant as this seems
to be, Prof. Langley estimates that the
same expenditure of energy would suf
fee to give us the sensation of crimson
1000 times and the sensation of green
light 100, 900, 900 times. It is curious
to note that the sensation of red is
100000 times as difficult to produce as
that of its complimentary color, green.
Here is at once a most beautiful ex-
PLANTATION of the reason why green
gives the eye repose and red disturbs
it. Red strikes the sensitive nerve
with all this additional force. Anna
teur photographers well know how
fatiguing it is to work many hours in
a deep red light, and they may see
from these measurements that it is
really the most wearying to the optic
nerve. Moreover, when we reflect
that the commonest form of color
blindness is an inability to see red, we
are impeled to ask whether this may
not also have some connection with
the comparatively large amount of
energy needed to impress that sensa-
ton on an ordinary eye. The sensa-
ton of red is the most difficult for ma
ture to produce, and many eyes are not
sufficiently sensitive for it ever to be
produced at all.-Boston Herald

Senator Euarts. Log Cabin.

Senator Evarts has erected an old fash
ioned Log Cabin on an elevated point Of
land which he lately purchased on the Poto-
mac, just below Washington.
It is much more elegant in it's finish and
appointments than were the homes OF our
ancestors in the Log Cabin days of long
ago, but probably not mors conducive to
comfort
Outside, it presents the appearance Of
the typical old fashioned house of the pio-
neers, being built of logs hewn In the ada
cent forest and raised and chinked in the
olden style. The interior will be finished
in native woods, from the place, but, unlike
the primitive original, it viii be finished in

This is luxury to which the jewellers in
| the rude Cabins of early days dared not
aspire, it being pure luxury, and not adding
to the comfort of the domicile.
Senator Evarts began the Log Cabin last
summer with the determination that, if
Gen. Harrison were elected, he would re-

fitting the two hoops together, and
locking them securely by a concealed

About midnight Mr.. Carker was
aroused by his wife vigorously pinch
ing him and telling him that robbers
were in the house. He attempted to
argue with her as to the improbability
of intelligent and cautious burglars in
pursuit of their calling making such a
racket as was in progress down stairs,
but she replied emphatically and with
reckless disregard for grammar: ''H
it's not robbers, what is it?'' And as
he didn't know, he partly dressed HIM
self and went down to and out.
The noise evidently came from the
pantry, and thither Mr.. Carker went
trembling with cold. but firm of par
pose, and carrying a lamp in one hand
and the kitchen stove-lifter in the other.
AS he opened the door he saw some
thing that fired his blood and caused
him TO stand quite still and watch the
spectacle before him with eyes hnlging
from amazement. The big eel was en-
gagged in a deadly conflict with the
house cat. Puss had entered the pantry
ia search OF q supper, and, like her
master, supposed the motien1ess thing
son the shell to be. lifeless. She had
swallowed about twelve inches of the
tail end of the delicacy before she dis
covered her mistake. The eel could
stand being skinned. but it could not
tamely submit to deglutition. It was
worth two dead fish yet,and, awaking,
it made "a fierce resistance.

but itcould not disengage it's tail. One

NAiLLEss HoRsEsHoEs.
An English Invention That Is Likely to
Prove Very Valuable.

Prove Very Valuable
The ordinary method of shooting
horses is, under the most favorable
circumstances, tedious operation,
and one, moreover, which not unfre-
quently results in temporary or even
permanent injury to the foot Indeed,
it has been asserted by an eminent au-
thority that cut of every forty horses
shod annually, one dies from the result
OF pricking. Moreover, the ordinary
shoe attacked in the ordinary way is
not adapted to horses with cracked or
brittle heofs. For horses employed
by an army in the field the hitherto
practiced mode of protecting a horses
hoof is particularly unsuitable, owing
to the appliances required. and. above
all, the time required A cavalry pa
troll isssurrounded by hostile parties,
and can only accomplish its work and
escape capture by vigilance and speed
The latter is necessarily much af-
fected by the occasional casting OF a
shoe, which it takes time. which
can not be spared. for replacing.
Again, a train of wagons is either &C
cmhpanying force on forced march
teithe front or is rapidly retiring to es-
cape capture. The loss of a shoe or
two by the leading teams may produce
iameness, and either delay the whole
train or cause the particular teams
among which the accident occurs to
fall into the hands of the enemy, or, at
all events, prevent the arriving at the
proper time of a portion of the stores.
By means Of cold shoeing the necessity
of forge is avoided. Still the system
| i've, requires certain amount of
training on the part of each dragon or
driver, and the shooting operation in
wolves considerable expenditure of
time. The difficulties and objections,
inseparable from any OF the existing
systems, are particularly felt by an
army in the field.
They are obviated by the system of
the nailless horseshoe To explain
the exact nature of the system with
out diagrams is impossible. We. there
fore, content ourselves with brief
outline of the principle The shoe is
attached by single steel band which
| passes around the hOof, well above the
| COfOnOC, from one extremity 'Ol l10
heel to the other, and is kept in posi-
ton mainly by a steel pillar lying fat
on the front of the hoof, and connect
ing the toe of the shoe with the
center of the band. There are also
three small studs-situated one at the
toe and one at each side-which slight
ly indent on the hoof, and aid in keep
ing the shoe in position. Among the
advantages claimed by the inventors
are the following: A man after a min
imum of instruction can. with the aid
of a hammer, Or even a stone, affiX
this shoe in about three minutes, as
against the fifteen or twenty minutes
at present needed; the shoe allows OF
full expansion of the hoof; it permits
the natural growth of the frog, thus
providing remedy against slipping
or Earring; it is as durable and as light
as, while it is cheaper than, the ordi-
nary shoe. The extensive practical
trials to which this system has beer
subjected have given satisfactory re-
sults.-London Times.
