Timber from Insects.

Preserving Timber from Insects.
Experiments made in France have
shown that the reason the sap.wood
in timber is worm-eaten is because of
the existence of starch in 1t. 1t is
the starch that the insects are after,
and they do not attack the hard
wood because it contains no starch.
The experimenters have devised a
method Of preserving timber from
such attacks. In the spring they cut
ring through the bark around the
upper end of the trunk, and suppress
all buds that are developed there. BY
autumn the starch has disappearsd
from the sap-wood and the tree is
ready to be felled. Timber thus pre-
pared. 1t is said, does not become
worm eaten.

Electricity is an excellent servant.
and it is slowly being trained to new
duties. Its uses are manifold, and
it's benefits innumerable. The only
obstacle to its general use for house
hold purpose is the high price Of
both utensils and current. The
utensils are undergoing a process Of
cheapening, and we may shortly see

Finally an enamel Of slicate, or,
rather, "a cement, was discovered,
and notwithstanding became a fact.
Its application to the utensil may be
seen from the illustration.
Electric Ovens and Utensils.
Electric ovens are usually provided
with several circuits, placed at the top

Here the fun began. Enamel after

WHAT "GENTLEMEN MAY DO.
They Need Not Pay Tradesmen's Bills, but
They Must Play Cards Fairly.


They Must Play Cards Fairly.
There are many things which it
appears gentleman may do now
adays in Europe without mourning
the loss of his right to that designa-
ton by society or FORGETTING what the
latter regards as his ''honor," says a
writer in the New York Tribune.
Thus he may avoid paying his cred
itors, provided they are tradespeople
tent with his plighted word, have ac-
copied the additional security Of a
promissory note. Indeed, the passing
Of any paper between creditor and
debtor is held to remove the obliga-
tion from the list of debts of honor
and places it among the so-called
'tradesmen' debts" the nonpayment
Of which involves no loss of ''gentil-
hommerie" or Of "honor" Debts of
honor, that is to say, loans based
merely upon verbal obligations and
bets, must be paid at all cost, accord
ing to the ethics governing the 'code
OF honor" even If the debtor has to
obtain the money by means Of meth
DDS which verge not only upon the
dishonorable, but even on the Grim
inal 1t is for this reason that we
sometimes hear Of young men going
to the length of stealing their
mothers jewels Or of forging the
name Of their nearest and dearest
relatives, as did the eldest son of
an English peer the other day, for
the sake Of paying their debts of
honor, failing which, they can no
longer hope to retain the social status
of a gentleman. One has heard of
men committing suicide, like young
Count Alloys Hardegg " few weeks
since at Vienna, anG the last Marquis
of Hastings, years ago in London, be-
cause they were unable to pay their
''debte Of honor" but one has never
heard Of gentleman taking his own
life because he could not pay his tai
lor.
Connection with q divorce suit, far
from detracting from the ''status of
gentleman" is, on the contrary,
rather a feather in his cap, excepting
in cases where the correspondent
prefers to speak the truth and ac-
knowledge his guilt rather than per-
lure himself in the witness box 'like
a gentleman" The most mortal of
all sins in the eyes of society, the
one that entails above everything
else the forfeiture of the title of gen
tleman ard Of all honor, is unfair
play at cards: and it is no secret that
the majority Of the great families in
Europe would infinitely prefer TO
have murderer among their rela-
tiveS than man convicted OF the
otfense which resulted in the social
ostracism OF Sir William Gordon
Cumming, Of the Duke of Roxe-
Durghe's son-in-law George Russell,
and of Major, the Hon. Walter Har-
bord, brother of Lord Suflield. These
perhaps ere the principal things
which a 'gentleman" and "a man of
honor may aid may not do accord
ing to the tenetS OF oldworld society
The latter may be summed up in
brief as the payment Of debts OF
honor, reticence with regard to all
.'affairs de cnur" and playing fairly
at cards. Provided man does not
break these three commandments, he
may commit every other sin with i'm
punity, and II only he be Of gentle
birth, his shortcomi ngs will be re-
garded merely in the light Of vcnial
eccentricitieS.
