Wood and Its Durability.

The problem has puzzled many why
Two pieces Of wood, sswn from the
semo section of tree, should possess
very varied characteristics when used
in different positions. For example. q
rate post will be found to decay much
faster if the butt end of the tree is up
permost than would be the case If the
top were placed in this position. The
reason is that the moisture Of the at
mosphere will permeate the pores OF
the wood much more rapidly the way
the tree grew than il would il in the
opposite direction. Microscopical ex-
animation proves that the pores invite
the ascent OF moisture, while they re-
nel It's descent Take the familiar

The story is told that the late r.
B. Hayes had for noighbor in Ohio a
testy old fellow who ran a small truck
farm. lie was honest and upright,
and Mr.. Hayes held him in high es-
TEEN, Notwithstanding his lack of So
cial amenities and respect for persons.
On one of his visits 10 Ohio during
tho presidency, he passed the old
mans farm and found him planting
potatoes in patch near the road. The
President, being somewhat of farmer
himself, noticed some popularity in
his neighbours style of planting, and
after few minutes chat he called his
attention TO it, and the old man ar
gued the point awhile.
CATER all. )" concluded the President,
al don't think you are doing it rs it
should be done for the best results"
The old farmer rested his arm on
the fence and looked steadily at Mr..
Hayes.
"There amt neither one of u.s." he
said, "above havin' fault found with
us; but of you just go on presidentin'
the United States your own way, an
go on plantin' pertaters my way,
guess we won be any worse of in the
end"
Mr.. Hayes accepted the suggestion
pleasantly and passed on.-[Boston

To Cure a Dog Of Sucking Eggs.

A dog that sucks eggs can always
be cured by boiling an egg very soft,
then placing it, as hot as boiling
wafer can make it, in the dogs mouth
and slamming his jaws together so as
to break the egg in his mouth. No
matter how long he may have been
addicted to egg sucking, one dose of
soft-boiled eggs will answer for the
balance of his days. From that time
on, whenever he sees an egg it will
remind him of the sore mouth he had
after tho soft boiled sample. and will
cast one glance of agonized terror,
drop his tail, and vamoose in good
order. -[St. Louis Clobe-Demoerat.

DETECTIVES BY HER BED.
Lawyer O'Sullivan Bays That Mrs. Never
10 Being BadgeYsd Into Madness.

NEW YORK. Aug. 4.-Lawyer VIM. J.
OSullivan, counsellor DIR. Henry Meyer,
the wholesale poisoner, has just re-
turned from Detroit, and says the wife
OF the doctor, who is also under indict.
ment, is still in the hospital there, but
is being badgered into madness by two
flnRerton detectives constantly on
guard at her bedside.
II found Mrs. Mover in 8 pitiable
condition." said the lawyer Yesterday,
He body was as cold as ice, the pupils
OF her eyes were dilated and her mind
dazed BY dint of patient questioning
earned of the outrageous treatment
she had received at the hands of the
Plnkertons, who are trying to extort
from Ler confession.
They told her that Der husband had
confessed and that her only chance for
life lay in following his example. She
continued to protest her innocence, and
then they threatened to take her chill.
dten away.
She told mo that carrying out this
threat as far as they dared, her eldest
child, only year and half old. was
taken from her. In it's absence the
PinKertons tortured her with reports OF
its ailing.
"Oh! fear to eat in this place said
she. After each meal feel badly and
my mind grows confused Two things
were evident to me-namely, that the
Pinkertons were in absolute control of
her person, and that the hospital
authorities were shamefully neglectfui.
"She had evidently taken opiates, and
questioned the young house surgeon
very carefully, only to discover that he
knew or cared very little about the case.
lie admitted that the woman was in q
condition to travel to New York and
had been there for three or four DAVIS.
At this point the Pinkertons burst into
the room, announcing that their instruc-
tions were TO allow me no private inter.
view, but to remain in the room during
my visit"
Charles Brooke. Mr.. O'Sullivan's
partner, then did little talking, in
which he denounced the treatment of
Mrs. Meyers, saying: These insurance
companies. acting with Pinkerton men,
have completely ignored the authorities
OF both New York and Michigan in this
case. These Pinkertons who now have
this unfortunate woman in charge have
no authority. There is no law which
recognizes private detective as such"
Detectives Trainer and Won Gerichten
started for Detroit Wednesday night
with requsition papers for Mrs Meyer.
