him as in league with Satan, declaring
that Steen had hoofs in his shoes and
horns in his hat. The exposer of spirit

ceeded to do feats in the presence of the

For instance, three of the party selected
three cards from deck borrowed for the
occasion from distant establishment.
They put them into the deck and kept
possession of it. One Of them then tele-
phoned to Mrs. Steen at her hotel, she
having retired, and sent her message

Cutting Yeneers.

The cutting of veneers is now done by
electricity. The veneering machine, in
stead of cutting or shaving around the
entire circumference of the log, as usual,
takes thin slice from the fiat side of IT,
The logs are of any diameter, and are cut
INTO lengths OF ten feet. The veneering
cutting knife is fixed between two
parallel shafts, and the log is carried up
and down in front of it with circular
motion by revolving cranks, and is fed
against the knife by ratchet and pawl,

cans of Armour's canned beef There
was nothing SO very strange in that, but
on making inquiries learned that that
particular beef had been put up in Japan.
That's where the imitation came in.
Some years ago Armours product found
its way out there, and after using 1t
while, the japanese thought they could
can beef also And SO they did. Ar.
mour beef pack has been initiated down

it is difficult to detect the difference. I

| Through Government of."ials an in
nocent request was made 70 the Ger.

spent year or two in Germany, and to-
day Japan ia selling the very sane ar

than they can produce it. Those oblig-

ruined, and their factories have long

tide toward the Philippines, which, pre-
diets the Saa Francisco Chronicle, will
soon be in the hands of the Mongolians.
The returns for last year show that nearly
1900 coolies arrived at Manila, while
less ;han 1900 departed. Thus nearly
9tao Chinese were added to the popula-
tloa IN single year, At the present
rate of increase of Chinese in all the
