To Ebonixe Wood.

The wood Is immersed for 4S hours in a hot, saturated solution of alum and then brushed over several times with a haywood decoction prepared as follows: Boil mart of best logwood with 10 parts of water, filter through linen and eyaporate at a gentle heat until the volume is reduced to one-half To every quart of this add from 10 to 15 drops of a saturated solution of indigo, completely neutral After apply
 ing this dye to the wood rub the latter with saturated and filtered solution of verdigris in hot, concentrated acetio acid and repeat the operation until black of the desired intensity is obtained. It must always be remembered when handling chemicals that great care must be taken to protect the hands.-Chioago Tribune.

CLEVER AMERICAN MECHANICS.

Their Ingenuity Tn Woodwork Attracting
 Attention In Foreign Countries.
 The mighty advance in wood working machinery in tho United States has evoked surprise everywhere. In Amer ioa the idea is to make everything of wood without hand labor, automatical- ly where possible This desire has been so successful that it is a rare exception factory is found employing handwork. Every known description of woodwork, out of every kind of wood, is made en- tirely of machinery Many of these ma chimes are veritable wonders, perform ing their work with a readiness and ao- curacy that excite the most profound at- tention. Some of the English experts say of them that they are the best ex- amples of ingenuity ever produced, but of a lighter construction than the Eng fish make. But one must bear in mind that American iron, when cast into form, is very much tougher and hence does not require so much of it to give their machines strength and solidity. ! This is hardly true of English iron, and in consequence their machines contain great deal more weight in iron and consequently look more massive, but by experience it has been proved conclu- sively that the latest improved Ameri- can machines are just as strong and just as capable in durability as those made by the English makers
 Progressive English manufacturers- and there are few of them-are gradu- ally waking up to the fact that if they want to hold their own in the commerce of the world they will be compelled. through necessity. to employ the later and more economical methods to pro- duce their manufactures. To do this they will have to turn to the Ameri- cans, much as it may be against their inclinations American furniture, made entirely with machinery, is now getting a foothold in England and attracts the admiration of English buyers not only for its beautiful designs and finish, but for the superb construction, and lastly it can be obtained at a moderate price Other articles of wood for domestic vehicles, agricultural, building uses, etc., are fast creeping in to the disad- vantage of the English manufacturer. Indeed wherein the American manufac- turer succeeds it is only through the use of machinery, and therefore the Eng lishman, in order to protect himself from encroachment, must adopt the American idea by using American ma ohinery, for is it not fact that tho Englishman is behind the tin es in get ting "up to date" wood working ma chinery? If this statement is not COT. rect, show us the fallacy of it. Machin- cry saves time and labor, consequently money. ey.-Cinoinnati Commercial Ga zette.

THE SNAKES AT THE zoo.

An event has occurred nt the zoo. Very high among marvels We rank h There's reptile residing there who Accidentally swallowed his blanket. But that story has now become old, And that feat surpassed by another. There's a snake still alive, we are told, Who by accident swallowed his brother. One would think such an odd mental fit Of abstraction-excuse the suggestion Would be followed up after bit By 1t of acute indigestion. And, moreover, although one pretend To be free from internal sensations, Still rupture is apt to attend
 Such straining of friendly relations But there's no such result we can find, Though the former has swallowed the lat
 ter,
 So we say it's @ triumph of mind Or absence of mind over matter. Should there still at the ZOO be a snake Who may wish that the record be beaten, He must swallow himself by mistake And pretend not to know what he's eaten

WHAT IS POETRYf
It Is Music Tn the Cathedral of the Human
 Heart.

It Is Music In the Cathedral of the Huma,
 Heart.
 Poetry is music in the cathedral of the heart. Deep in the human breast there towers noble structure. It stands apart from the beaten paths of the mind in silent, hidden valley. The ordinary thoughts and passions hurry past the portal and know it not. They have not learned the "open sesame" Ego him. self, ruler of the kingdom of the intel leot, does not know the sacred spot. It Is the mission of his life to find it, and having once found it he cannot remem- Der the route by which he journeyed. He cannot return to it at will. Fate guards the way and rarely grants an en- trance, yet every man at some time of his life happens upon it, and the fortu- nate reach it often. Though they are blindfolded by the way, their eager feet learn to tread the labyrinth. They are the poets of mankind, whose fancy gives sight to their feet.
 At some unexpected moment a fair guide points the way, tho doors swing open, and man enters the cathedral Of
 
 music of searching, thrilling sweetness that points the way. Sometimes it is a royal sunset Sometimes it is rapt and self forgetting prayer. Sometimes it is the hand of love, but oftenest it is gaunt sorrow. It is stately temple. Its dome is as broad as the heavens, toward which the many fingered spires point. Its win dows make of each sunbeam a rainbow Its aisles are silent. Its priest is peace. With hushed heart and reverential step man enters and is at rest. All that is material of him he leaves behind. Quiet and beauty possess his soul, and he floats in an inspiring dream. He listens, and now for the first time falls on his in- tent ear an occasional note in the har- mony of the universe.
 Half lost in distance, he hears the chorus of the morning stars. the birds, the waterfall, the Trees. He feels a beauty and purpose in the universe the mind cannot conceive. He feels above, about, within him @ majestic kingdom to which his soul is kin. Al most he grasps the secret of creation For one swift instant exaltation drawi aside the dark, impenetrable curtain that has led skeptio man. "There is the end" He sees beyond a marvel too great for his still human mind. It passes, but it leaves with him awe, peace, hope He feels that somewhere there is ce- lestial key that makes of the puzzle of life kingdom where all is harmony, perfection, satisfaction. The great organ of his soul, tuned into speech by the master hand of beauty, bursts into mel ody.
 And this is poetry.

"lADY" FOR nMADAM."
A Young Woman of Observation Criticises
 the Form of Address.


 the Form of Address.
 "Three times today" said young wo- man of observation, II was addressed as lady, mean in the vocative. In two cases, was bidden to como this way, lady, by shop attendants, and in the third case my den tist's servant told me that 1t was my turn next, lady Ihave noticed for some time the growing tendency to use this form of address and Jack tells me that he has remarked she same thing in people addressing him. He told me only yesterday that he was running up the stairs at the elevated station down at the city hall when, thinking of something else, he took the wrong landing. A serv ant of the road barred his way and said The other stairs to the ticket office, gen. tleman.' Jack said, moreover, that he didn't like the form of address, not that 1t was not perfectly respectful, he said, and he kept thinking about 1t all the way home. So, too, l don't mind confessing that don't like to be told to come this way, lady or asked if will buy any thing, lady
 II know that 1t Is a style of address that used to be considered the exclusive proper ty of gypsies and sailormen, and 1 don't know if I should not Do perfectly content to have 1t remain so. Possibly the spread of it Is another evidence of the freedom of the age, and possibly, too, the shop attend ant and tho dentists servant were of the opinion that to say lady indicated a much less degree of infcriority than to say ma am or madam If that is their opin- ion, should like to have the opportunity of telling them that they are very much mistaken. For one woman to address an- other woman or for a man to address a woman as madam betrays no sense of in- feriority on the part of tho speaker. It Is simply the recognized form of address of one person-equal or not equal--to anoth- CT person when the name of the person ad- dressed need not or cannot be mentioned, and for one am not an admirer of the in- novation. would rather be asked to come this way, please or even, just curtly, this way than be bowed to and smiled at when some clerk tells mo that the rib bons are this way, lady Lady is very cuckoo among words anyhow. It has foisted poor woman out of her proper place and now is trying to oust plain ma am. '"-New York Sun

A Wonderful Machine.

A conception of the ingenuity in. volved in the construction of some of the finer tools now employed in various manufactures may be obtsined from the following fact:
 A machine for turning cut watch screws was recently exhibited at the In- stitution of Mechanical Engineers in London which was so complicated that several skilled engineers present con- fessed that they were unable to follow the train of mechanism, even when it was explained by the aid of working drawingsl
 Yet this machine, when wire is fed to it, goes on doing its work, turning out perfect screws, and as long as the wire lasts it requires no interference by It's human attendants. Com. uanion

Connecticut western news., 1895-04-18


 A trance is death, followed by resur- rection after few days-total suspen- sion of mental power and voluntary action. Rev. William Tennent, great evangelist of the last generation, of whom Dr. Archibald Alexander, a man far from being sentimental, wrote in most eulogistio terms-Rev. William Tennant seemed to die. His spirit seem- ed to have departed. People came in day after day and said, "He is dead; he is dead. '" But the soul returned, and William Tennent lived to write out experiences of what be had seen while his soul was gone. It may be found some time what is called suspended animation or comatose state is brief death, giving the soul ar excursion into the next world, from which it comes back-a furlough of few hours grant ed from the conflict of life to which it must return.
 Do not this waking up of men from trance and this waking up of grains buried 5000 years ago make it easier for you to believe that your body and mine, after the vacation of the grave, shall rouse and rally, though there be 5000 years between our last breath and the sounding of the archangelio reveille? Psychologists tell us that. while the most of our bodies are built with such wonderful economy that we can spare nothing, and the loss of a finger is Q hindrance, and the injury of toe joint makes us lame, still we have two or three apparently useless physical appa- rati, and no anatomist or physiologist has ever been able to tell what they are good for. Perhaps they are the founda- tion of the resurrection body, worth nothing to us in this state, to be indis- pensibly valuable in the next state. The Jewish rabbis appear to have had hint

 Abolition of Death.
 I proclaim the abolition of death. The old antagonist is driven back into mythology with all the lore about Styg ian ferry and Charon with oar and boat. We shall have no more to do with death than we have with the cloakroom at a governors or presidents levee. We stop at such cloakroom and leave in charge of the servant our overcoat, our overshoes, our outward apparel that we may not be impeded ill the brilliant round of the drawing room. We'll, my friends, when we go out of this world we are going to kings banquet, and to reception of monarchs, and at the door of the tomb we leave the cloak of flesh and the wrappings with which we meet the storms of the world. At the close of our earthly reception, under the brush and broom of the porter, the coat or hat may be handed to us better than when we resigned it, and the cloak of humanity will finally be returned to us improved and frightened and purified and glorif1ed. You and I do not want our bodies returned to us as they are now. We want to get rid of all their weaknesses. and all their susceptibili- ties to fatigue, and all their slowness of locomotion. They will be put through . chemistry of soil and heat and cold and changing seasons out of which God will reconstruct them as much better than they are now as the body of the rosiest and healthiest child that bounds over the lawn is better than the siokest patient in the hospital.
 But as to our soul, we will cross right over. not waiting for obsequies. independent of obituary, into state ip
