warning Of Wood.

AS lumber Is now sawn, every board
but one will warp and curl up In the
process of seasoning. The reason for
this is plain. If the board be sawn from
the side Of the log the grain rings of the
wood lie in circles, which have greater
length on one than upon the other side
Of the board. A board cut from the very
center of the log has grain circles Of
equal length upon each side, and will lie
perfectly fiat when seasoned
When selecting the lumber for tool
chest or some other fine job, pick out
boards that show they came as near as
possible from the center Of the log. A
method Is In use which compromises for
this tendency to curl In seasoning This
is known as quarter saving, and quar-.
tered oak, Of which 80 much is said at
present, is sawn by this process
It consists of cutting out boards radial-
ly from the center to the outside of the
log. Suppose a log to be split into four
pieces, each Of these pieces is sawn dag
onally, so that the grain rings run
through, instead of the circles running
into it, part way through and out, upon
the same side of the board. Wood

In recent number of The Sanitarian
DR.. W. T, Parker protests against thick
planting Of trees very near the house.
Not only do they prevent the free access
of air and Of sunshine or even light, but
they also injure the character of the soil
as suited for permanent occupation. "a
soil, says the writer, loaded with roots
and densely shaded is unfit for man TO
live upon constantly. Vegetation pro-
duces great effect upon the movement
Of the air. Its velocity Is checked, and
sometimes in thick clusters of trees or
underwood the air Is almost stagnant.
II moist and decaying vegetation be
coincident condition Of such stagnation
the most fatal forms of malarious dis
eases are produced.
"A moist soil is cold, and is generally
believed to predispose to rheumatism,
catarrh and neuralgia. It Is matter Of
general experience that most people feel
healthier on dry soil. In some way
which is not clear moist soil produces
an unfavorable effect upon the lungs. A
moist soil influences greatly the devel-
opment Of the agent, whatever 1t may
be, which causes the paroxysmal fevers."

Three Hundred Stones Inside of Him.
Sir Charles Hall, celebrated physi-
clan Of the Seventeenth century, relates
an extraordinary case of a man who &C
customed himself to swallow stones.
This man, Thomas Gobsill by name.
and about 30 years of age, had for some
time suffered from colo. till sympar
thetic friend advised him to swallow
small, round pebbles. He followed the
prescription and obtained relief. On
being seized some months afterward by
violent return of his complaint he
swallowed nine stones, and as these had
no effect, repeated the dose until about
BOO pebbles had accumulated in his In
terror. He endured their presence for
two and half years before submitting
himself to Sir Charles Hall. Sir Charles
found the stones were situated in the
lower part of the body, and on shaking
his patient he could hear them rattle, !.
His first experiment was to suspend
the sufferer by his feet, in the hope that
the stones might be shaken out of him.
This met with no success. Nor did
medicine have any effect Tho man
was unable to work without pain, and
suffered much uneasiness at all times

The BOYS WHO TAG ON eEAlNr

t1E 6OyO WITH tA0 ON 6Ef1tNDs
with clash, and blare, and boom, and beat
The big procession marches
Through the lane of applause. through the shout
ing street.
And under the towering arches;
They march as grand as a conquering host
With many plume and banner,
AS Sherman's army marched to the coast
And into the streets of Savannah.
And the sun that glints from their helmets bright
Will dazzle, and CLEAN, and blind,
But there follows them, like string to kite
The small boys who tag on behind
The small boys who tag on behind, the small boys
who tag on behind
The best Of the show, l would have you all
know,
Is the small boy who tags on behind
A rabbe that wabbles and tumbles about
Like bummers who bring up the rear.
They jostle, and giggle. and quarrel. and shout
And boot, and jangle, and jeer;
But watch for the glad ragamuffin parade
For the brave little barefooted bummers,
And leave the crowd for the Boys brigade,
And leave the iifers and drummers.
March on, my lads. for the route is long,
And the way is hard to find;
There's q long march ahead for the brave and
strong,
And small boys who tag on behind
The small boys who tag on behind, the small boys
who tag on behind;
Long, long must you tread through the grim
days ahead,
You small boys who tag on behind.

Mem ey,tb Low Forebead..

Here Is gallery of "low foreheads''
warranted to astonish the knowing ones
who never see virtue except In bald
fronts. Look up the portraits of Grant,
Mcclellan, Logan and Sheridan among
soldiers; Holmes, Stedman. Howells,
Grant White, Curtis, Parton, Twain and
Warner among authors; the late Chief
Justice Waite and Matthew Arnold
among recently deceased notables, and
see how the growth Of their hair sub
jects them to be slandered by the shall
low pates.
On the other hand look at the full face
portraits Of the average baldheaded man,
and see how his affection glorifies his
intellect. When you find q man whose
hair grows down over the bend of his
profile forehead. while yet leaving 1t
''high" to the eye, you have got hold OF
q thinker who Is also man Of action,
such as Beecher, Booth, Ruskin, Lincoln.
The dome shaped forehead usually
marks the idealist, and the square shaped
brow the practical man of affairs and
wit.---St. Louis POST Dispatch.

IDEAS OF HELL.



Nations Have Locatsd Ii.
We give summary of the ssheIIg
opinions of many religions and that of
famous astronomer; The hell of the
ancient heathens was divided into two
mansions-Elysium on the right hand,
which was the abode of good mems souls;
Tartarus on the left, region of misery
and torment, the awful abode Of the
damned. The ancient philosophers were
Of the opinion that the Internal regions
were at an equal distance from all parts
Of the earth, which may be the founda-
tton Of the modern idea Of hell being In
the center of the earth.
The people of Hermione, contrary to
the usual belief that ones own country
is the best In the world, thought that It
was a very short distance from their
shores to the flake that burneth for ever
and ever for this reason the people Of
that country never put money in the
mouths of their dead to pay passage to
the land Of oblivion The ancient Jews
placed hell in the center of the earth.
According to them, there were three
passages leading to ii, the first the will
derness, by which route Dathan, Koran
and ADRIAN descended; the second is
the sea, because it is written that 40
nah cried to God out of the belly of
hell" the third passage is in Jerusalem,
because 1t is said 1.-THE fire of the Lord is
In Zion, and his furnace is In Jerusar
lem" Mohammed said that hell has seven
gates; the first for the Mussulman, the
second for the Christians, the third for
the Jews, the fourth for the Sabeans, the
fifth for the Magians, the sixth for the
Pagans and the seventh for the hypo-
critics of all religions.
Among modern philosophical opin-
ions that of Mr.. Winston, the English
scholar, was perhaps the most unique.
The comets, according to Winston, are
80 many bells appointed in their orbits
to alternately carry the damned into the
confines of the sun, and then to return
them beyond the orb of Saturn, there to
starve them in the regions of dismal
cold.
Among the Christians there are two
controverted questions in regard to hell
--one concerning its locality, the other
the duration Of Its torments.--St Louis
Republic.
