DURABLE TIMBER.
Eight Valuable Suggestions Based
Prof. RANKINGS Experience.

Eight Valuable Suggestions Based on
Prof. RANKINGS Experience.
Professor Rankino says: 'There are
certain appearances which are charac-
teristic of strong and durable timber to
what class soever it belongs. l. In the
same species of timber that specimen
will in general be strongest and most
durable which has grown the slowest,
as shown by the narrowness of the an
nual rings. 2. The cellular tissue, as
seen in the medullary rays (when visi-
ble) should be hard and compact. 8.
The vascular or fbrous tissue should
adhere firmly together and should show
no wooliness at a freshly-cut surface,
nor should it clog the teeth of the saw
with loose fbers. t. If the wood is
colored, darkness of color is in general
a sign of strength and durability. 5. The
freshly cut surface of the wood should be
firm and shining, and should have some
what of translucent appearance. A dull
chalky appearance is sign of bad tim
Der. 6. In wood of a given species, the
heavier specimens are in general the
stronger and the most lasting. Z. Among
resinous woods, those which have least,
resin in their pores, and among non
resinous woods, those which have least.
sap or gum in them, are in general the
strongest and most lasting. s. 1t is
stated by some authors in fir-wood that
which has the most sap wood, and in
hard wood that which has the least, is
the most durable-but the universally
of this law is doubtful. Timber should
be free from such blemishes as clcfts or
cracks radiating from the center; cup
shakes" or cracks which partially separ-
ate one annual layer from another; V
"up-sets," where tho fibers have been
crippled by compression; V "ringalls,"
or wounds in the layer of the wood
which have been covered and concealed
by the growth of subsequent layers over
taem."

A RUNAWAY ELEVATOR.
-Four Men of Pittsburgh Pass an EXcitfl
Half Hour.

Half Hour.
What might have resulted in a fatal
accident, but developed into a ludicrous
circumstance, happened a short time ago
in the Allegheny General Hospital. a
we'll known man in the steel business.
who is popularity called Tom, was at
tackled by serious trouble in the head.
The physician persuaded him to go up
to the Allegheny General Hospital. One
Saturday four men from the steel works
formed party and called upon the sick
man. His room was on the second floor.
and it was necessary to take the eleva-
tor. The trip to the room passed OFF sue
cessfully: very differently, however, on
the return. After remaining with the
invalid for some time it was suggested
that it would be advisable to go.
Coming around to the elevator, the bell
was rung to call it. A pretty blonde
nurse, with laughing eyes, asked If any
of the party could run an elevator, be-
cause she had a poultice to put on pa
tient, and she was afraid it would cool
if she took the elevator down again.
The leader of the party came to the
front, and said he would operate the Gle
vator, having had experience, and was
an adept at the job.
Having gotten in the elevator the
leader pulled the rope the reverse way
to the floor which was wanted. Like
flash the machine struck the roof of the
hospital. seriously disconcerting the en-
tire party. A rumble of discomfort was
heard within the box while the men
were Strengthening their battered hats.
Again the elevator rope was pulled,
and quicker than the first ride in the
elevator, the party were landed in che
cellar. For fully twenty minutes the
elevator was going up and down in re-
markable manner. Every man in the
uncomfortable box tried his skill in
stopping it. Up and down went the
elevator. The men imprisoned in the
four-by-four swore enough to fill the
City Hall. On every floor numbers of
nurses and patients had gathered,
watching the antics of the machine.
The elevator was at last stopped at
the same floor which the men got in at.
One of them thought that for security's
sake and his family's, not having an in
surance on his life, that he had better
get out. Just as he put one foot on the
passage, the elevator made sudden
shoot. and he was sent whirling along
the hall. His clothes suffered consider
ably.
When the elevator got started again
she was as unmanageable as a mad bull
The nurses shrieked, and the whole
place was like bedlam. After spend
ing half an hour see-sawing the mad ma
chine was finally brought to standstill
All got out thankful they were alive

PROGRESS VS.. LOVE.

An me! the march of Progress
Is driving Love from hence,
For how can parting lovers talk
Across barb-wire fencey
No swinging gate to lean on,
No high fence with its bars,
Which seemed to shut out Eden,
Where two eyes CLEANED bright as stars.
All me! the march OF Progress
Exiles the great log fire,
The stove severe and blaclly grim
Can no fair thoughts inspire.
The tallow dip is fated-
Gas in its place burns bright;
The candle had an end some time,
But the gas will burn all night.
All me! the march of Progress
Made sail give way to steamJ
And now an ocean passage
Is short-lived as dream.
No time is left for counting
Upon the steamers fast
You meet 4 maid-scarce know her,
When, behold! the journeys past.
All me! the march of Progress
bs Has brought the railroad car;
More enchanting was the stage-coach
:. With its rumble and it's jar,
AS the train speeds swiftly ONWARD
1t suggests unrest and strife
You have no time left for loving, 4
, You have scarcely time for life.
And now the march of Progress
An idol has oerthrown,
Which this age iconoclastic
Had left to me alone. g.,
Through the streets of ev'ry village
Blaze the great electric lights
And the porch has lost its romance
Through the balmy Summer nights.

HOMEMADE CABINETS.
How Amateur Carpenters Can Make
Themselves Useful.


Themselves Useful.
Charming cabinets are now made by
amateur carpenters for holding choice
specimens of china or bric-a-brac. The
simplest is composed of board about
twelve inches high and about twenty
four inches long, to which is attached at
the lower left-han1 corner a shelf six
inches deep and twelve inches long,
and at the upper right hand corner an
other shelf of the same dimensions.
This cabinet is gilded and the back
is painted with white crocuses in dec
orative, unpretentious style that is
charming. Such simple shelf as this
might hold a pretty blue Dutch bowl, a
'f6veIy crumpled white-and-rose she'll, a
beautiful stone, gathered by the owners
hand, and a slender Venetian glass,
costing only few dollars, but showing
a wealth of color a perpetual reminder
of people who instinctively knew the
value of color. Underneath such cabi-
net a fiat pilgrim bottle of stoneware
from Spain, decorated in Moorish ara
besques in blue, might be suspended.

Making Unpleasant Remarks.

Never tell any body an unpalatable
truth when it can answer no good pur-
pose. This sort of unnecessary candor
is sometimes prompted by malice, sofdes
times by mere looseness of tongue, like
that which Iago imputes to Cassie when
asleep. Sydney Smith says, and very
Justly, that friendship is frequently
made an excuse for unpunishable imper-
Thence by people who pride themselves
on speaking their minds freely. The
truth, maliciously spoken, may be
libelous; and when volunteered in rela-
ton to matters with which the utterer
has no concern, it is very often unman-
nerly. AS surely as pleasant truths,
kindly meant and said, are passports to
friendship and affection, SO surely do
bitter ones provoke the enmity and
hatred of those to whom they are adj
dressed. If you have taste for sharp
repartee, restrain it. 1t is better to lose
jest than friend-to miss an oppor-
tunity of saying good thing" than to
make an enemy.-N. Y. Ledger.

THE RRDFERN COACHING COATS

NEW YORK, Aug. 16.-Now that the dog
days are over. and with them all dread of
excessive and prolonged heat, there is a re-
renewal of interest in all outdoor pursuits,
and especially in driving. Not the leisurely
pleasure drive of an hour or two, in pro-
cesSIon of fashionable turnouts, but the
long excursion or the coaching trip, which
will be an affair of several days. And one
of the requisites for comfort and enjoyment
on such occasions is a coat which will not
only protect from dust and rain, but which
will prove screen against too sharp
breezes, and will be in every way conven-
lent and becoming. Such one from the
newest model is here given, and it will be
seen that it is 80 large and all enveloping
that it is in itself almost complete cos
tune.
