Maple Floorixg.

Among the noteworthy features of re
cent lumber trade development is thu
rapidly increasing demand for maple
flooring. Improvements In the method
of manufacture has kept pace with the
growth In demand for product or per.
haps IT is more exact to say that the
recognition Of maple flooring has been
forced on the attention OF consumers by
the enterprise OF manufacturers Ia turn
ing out a perfected product and urging
it on public attention. A few years ago
all the maple flooring used was worked
out on orders by few planning mills.
The hardwood dealers carried strips In
their yards aud had them dressed and
matched when they happened to receive
an order for flooring. Now great man
ufactories have been established for the
sole purpose Of producing maple flooring.
Exact, strong and swift machinery has
been invented to work out the stuff.
The boring machine has rendered mailing
easy. and now comes the end-matching
invention. Maple flooring has come to
be regarded as the thing indispensable 10
most public buildings aud Is used largely
In private dwellings. Such an extent
has the demand reached that the larger
dealers are obliged to make contracts for
millions Of feet far In advance Of require
ment, the same as Is done with pine or
any other wood of extensive sale aud
consumption In the building trades and
manufacturing.
The demand for maple flooring in its
phenomenal growth suggests that the
timber out OF which 1t is produced can't
last forever. There is limit to the sup
ply Ia maple, almost Ia sight, unless the
forests shall be bought up and reserved
from denudation by farmers, who see
moro value In the soil than In the tim
Der. But IL maple must go rapidly, there
is consolation Ia the fact that yellow pine
and Pacific coast fir are both good floor
ing woods, while oak Is not to be despi
Come to think OF It,. several generations
yet unborn will be able to tread on good
hard floors before the timbers to make
them shall be exhausted. yN. w. Lum-

THE STORY OF A BELL.
Owed Its Existence To u Stalk of Corn
Grown by the Wnyside.


In the church tower OF the little
town of Grosslaswitz, in the North of
Germany, hangs bell, and on il is en-.
graved It's history, surmounted by a
bas-relief, representing q six-eared
stalk Of corn, and the date October 10,
l729 This is the story of the bell: Mt
the beginning of the last century the
only church bell AT GrosslaswitZ was
so small that its tones were not suf-
ficient TO penetrate to the ends of the
village. a second bell was badly
wanted, but the village was poor, and
where was the money TO come from?
Everyone offered to give what he
could but the united offerings did
not amount TO nearly enough for the
purpose. One sunday when the school
master, Gottfricd fIayn, was going
TO church, he, noticed growing out
of the church-yard wall flourishing
green stalk of corn, the seed OF
which must have been dropped by a
passing bird. The idea suddenly
struck him that perhaps this one stalk
of corn could be made the means OF
procuring the second bell they wanted
SO much. lie waited ill the corn wifi
ripe, and then he plucked the six ears
on it and suwed them in his own
garden The next year he gathered
the little crop thus produced and
sowed it again, till at last he had not
enough room in his garden for the
crop, and so he divided it among a
certain number OF farmers who went
on sowing the ears until. in the
eighth year the crop was so large that
when it was put together and sold
they found that they had enough
money to buy beautiful bell, with
its story and its birthday engraved
upon it, and IA cas- Of the corn,stalk to
which it owed its existence.

Kn,shthood for an American Doctor.

DR. Fl. de Marville of San Francisco,
has been knighted by the king OF
Portugal in tardy recognition Of an
act Of surgical skill that saved young
member of the house of Bourbon from
bleeding to death. In 1879, while the
doctor, then a medical studentat the
university of Paris, was in yachting
party on the Mediterranean, a sailor
dropped q sharp knife from aloft in
such manner that it cut the main
artery in the leg of cousin of the
princess dOrleans, now queen of
Portugal The blood spurted from
the boys wound, to the CONSERVATION
of all around, until dc Marville came
forward and deftly tied up the severed
artery.

ACCORDING to the testimony in the
Pollard Breckenridge case some Of our
congressman lead pretty gay life. II
ISN'T likely that the testimony for the
plaintiff is all true nor is 1t likely that il
Is all untrue. Taking the middle OF
the ROAD observation OF the case we
should say that Col. breckenridge is a
designing old scoundrel and that Miss
Pollard is not much better except in the
matter OF years and experience. AT all
events the state Of Kentucky hasn't
much respect for Itself il it again sends
breckenridge to Congress. The United
States cannot afford to pat up such men
before tho youth OF the country as eA-
amples Of morality.

BAKING POWDER.
BUILDING GETTING ACTIVE.
New Houses Going Up and Old Ones
Remodeled All over the City.

There is more building going on now
than there has been at this season of the
year for some time. A number of new
houses have been started within the last
few days and more are contemplated. The
builders are confident that the coming
year will be one of prosperity for them.
Mr.. William Cleveland has begun the
erection of a residence on Duffy street,
next to the Duffy Street Baptist church.
Mr.. McQuade has the foundations ready
Tor new house at Habersham and An
dersOn street. Several new houses are
being built further out in the extension.
MIR. Warning has built. half a dozen fine
houses south of Bolton street and east of
Habersham within the last six months.
Dr. GrOths new house at Bolton and
Habersham streets is nearly finished and
is a handsome building. Mr.. Lindsay's
new residence at Bolton and A bercorn
streets will be ready for occupancy in
short time. Capt. &. $. Ellis is remodel
ing his residence at AberCorn and Gwin-
nett streets. Mr.. Lowell has about com
pleted the remodeling of the two houses
on WaldDurg street, between DraytOn
and Abercorn streets. Mr.. j. c. Puder's
new house on Drayton street, opposite the
Telfair hospital, is about finished. Anew
house has just begun on Anderson street,
between Barnard and Montgomery. Mai
Crowthers house on Whitaker street,
fronting the park, is practically finished
Lower down in the city building is
equally as active as it is in the southern
sections.
The Improvement by Capt. Purse of
the property at the southeast corner of
Liberty and Whitaker streets will, when
completed, add greatly to that locality.
The old frame residence that has been a
landmark on the corner for many years,
has been moved to the lot adjoining on
the east, and four brick stores will occupy
the site of the house on the corner. The
work is being pushed and will be com
pleted as soon as possible. The erection
OF stores in that section of the city shows
the tendency of business southwark.
These are only some of the i'm
provements in progress or which are con-
templated, and which will be begun in a
short time.
Mr.. d. B. Lester is repairing and i'm
proving the houses on Liberty street be-
tween Whitaker and Barnard. recently
damaged by fire, and the repairs will be
complete in short time. Mr. Testers
residence at Drayton and Bolton streets,
fronting the park extension, has been re,
modelled in the interior to some extent;
an addition has been made on the east
side, and with its decora tions it is now
one of the handsomest residences in the
city.
A number of new houses are going up
along Barnard, Jefferson and Montgomery
streets and further down in the western
part of the city. In fact, all over the
city there are signs of a revival in
building.

SWIMMING CAVALRY.
Trai ming English Mounted Soldiers to
Cross Rivers Quickly.

From the London Court Journal.
Much has lately been heard of the
rapidlty and ease with which continental
cavalry cross rivers, but few OF our cav
airy regiments, notably the Royal Horse
Guards, are not far behind in point of ex-
cellence in the art of crossing rivers by
swimming. Capt. Ferguson, of the Blues,
has taken up this subject for some months
past, and the swimming squadron of that
regiment has been brought to a nigh state
of efficiency, as was evidenced the other
day when the detachment in question
swan across the Thames at Elton in the
presence of Lord Methuen. The idea on
which the exercise was based was that
small force, advancing on Ascot, finding
the Windsor bridge blown up, was com
PEELED to find means to cross the river
One officer Lieut.. Eorester) and four
men, seeing some punts and boats,
four in number, on the other side of the
river, rode TO the waters edge, stripped
themselves and removed the kits from
their horses, rode them into the river,
swan with the animals TO the other side,
seized the boats from the enemy-the
natives-who were expected to make
some show of resistance, and brought
them back. Meanwhile the kits were re-
moved from the horses of the main body

punts had been brought over from the
other side. Into these the kits carbiues,
etc, were unceremoniously bundled, the
troopers scrambled INTO as many as each
OF the four punts would allow without
sinking it, the horses hauled into the
river, and, once in, they calamity swan
across to the other side of their own
accord. Most of the horses appeared
to be well trained for the purpose.

Twice did the boats make the return
journey until all were safely across. and
the troopers and officers having resaddled
their horses, rode off on their way. In
actual warfare, of course. stripping
horses of saddles and kits would not be
thought of. The men who have to swim

Tor the trouble of getting the kit in
proper condition again would be very con-

was the celebrity with which it was done
and 1t says well for the men that from
the time Of the first re- onnoiter of the adj
vance party to when the men were
mounted and rode off from the other side
OF the river, it was under quarter of an
hour, with few seconds to spare The
movements were watched with evident
interest by Lord Methuen and his staff.
