USES OF TEAKWOOD.

The gathering Of this timber sto re
has been an industry ever since man
Of any color inhabited the country
Teak gro only in India aud BURN alb,
and in old palaces and temples it has
held indestructi lie place for many
generations. From the color of san
dal-wood it changes with age to wal
nut brown. Big implanted bungalows
standing upon pillars ofthe wood, sid
ed with it, shingled with it, 1atticed
with it, defy heat and rain, and grow
rich upon their poverty of oil and var
nish. They stand, as brown as autumn
out Of green compounds against the
summer itself. Vines wrap them,
flowers garnish them, years add moss
and lichen, but nothing destroys save
flame. Railroad car wheels, spikes
for laying tracks, pegs for bolts, i'm
plements Of all sorts, are made of
teak. No one save shipwright
knows just how many parts Of d ship
are built from this muscle of nature,
but everyone who has walked the deck
of bark or steamer has conscious
ness that no amount Of holysto ming,
OR dragging OF cargo over, or wear
and tear Of feet and traffic, can in an
ordinary sense affect a teakwood
floor.
The Burmese wood carver knows
his art is almost hewn in stone when
he coaxes leaf and flower, sacred cow
and festival cart, grotesque sprites
and elves, gods and Buddhas, out of
rugged trunks. The little prov Of the
sampan shaped like a wishbone, the
stern Of the paddy boat as brown with
age, IS the naked figure uponit is with
the elements, the strange plinths of
stranger pillars, the embellishments
Of the temples, the playthings Of the
children-all these are carved from
teak.-Cent1ry.

Miss Ashley, who aspires to be
known as the champion woman scull-
er IL America, is a Norwegian by birth,
although she has lived in this country
since her fourth year. She has prac-
ticed with a shell for only three
months, and she has worked SO ener-

derful strength and skill. She thinks
nothing of rowing twelve to fifteen
miles in her twenty seven pound
shell, and keeps herself in training by
a simple diet for long walks and swim

Several customers were chatting in
Lafayette avenue grocery store one
evening recently when the grocer
pointed to q half barrel Of small beans
and asked how many Of them it would
require to make q bushel.
Various estimates we're offered. One
man recklessly put the number down
at $4,000, which oocasioned laugh
from all the others who had guessed Q
much lesser quantity, ranging ell the
way from 5.03o to 10000.
Gwen, gentlemen" remarked the
grocer, 'you are all wrong. There
are approzim ateIy 118, 600 beans in q
bushol."
No one was inclined TO believe him
until ne showed them that it took So
beans, selected at random, to weigh
half an ounce. The rest Of the calcu-
Iation was simple.
''Now, then" said one Of the party,
Esinco we are engaged in guessing

Is there one man in this country
who believes that the manufacture
and sale Of intoxicating liquors is
pleasing to God?
If not pleasing 10 Him it must be
displeasing; for God IS never neutral
with regard to anything that affects
for good or i'll, the Wen-being OF the
human race. Jesus taught this truth
when He said, "He that is not with
Me is against Me; and he that gath
ereth not with Ne scattereth.' The
principle here laid down applies to ev-
cry act or belief which exerts an infu-
ence on mems characters with quite
as much force IS it applies to individ-
uals. 1t is based oil the fact that all
truth and all righteousness must en-
anate from Him and must work for
the ful6nment Of His mission Of re
storing the lost image of God in man
kind. Is there any man living who
believes that the saloon system is

Many OF the current cures for earaehe
advise the dropping of Various substances
into the ear. One of the best specialists
oil the day pronounces this usually an
unadvisable procedure and in the place
OF such remedies, perfers the application
of warmth to the region of the ear, either
by dry heat in the form of heated flannel,
cotton, wool, bags of hops, bran, or
meal, or by cloths wrung out of hot water,
steam, or poultices OF hAXseed, or roasted
onions. Cotton should not habitually he
worm-wedged into the ear, for the reason
that the air passage is thus closed causing
the secretions OF the ear to flow more
slowly or very little. and thus causing an
unnatural and disagreeabe and perhaps
injurious dryness. AS, however, many
cases OF acute aural trouble have resulted
from bathiug, and especially from diving
and plunglng in salt water, it is wise
precauIion TO plug the ears with cotton at
! such times -.Nf7o Y0yh k9tWlHg Pest.
