Wood lending.

In an account of tho wood bending in
dust1y a writer in The Woodworker re-
marks that comparatively few persons
outside the carriage and boat building
interests are aware of its extent, and
but few realize that the carriages they
ride in are very largely made of such
wood-the fellies of all their wheels
are bent and made in two parasitic
framework of coaches and heavy car
riages is nearly all made of bent stock,
and not only better made, but more
cheaply, and the frames of pleasure
boats arc bent, as also many Of the
frames of the finest sailing yachts. Fur
niture, too, CT many kinds, has bent
frames, all the celebrated Thonet chairs,
for example, being made entirely Of
wood thus treated. The object of bend
ing is twofold-namely, saving of time
and stock ard stability and strength Of
the work when put together--this in
dependent of beauty Of form, and bent
carriage shafts are almost, if not entire
ly, used now, instead of the old style,
clumsy, sawed ones. Skill in manipu-
lating the material is very essential
Simply the forms to bend ON and the
steam box in which to soften the wood
do not alone insure success in the opera
tion--it is necessary to know perfectly
the stock to bend, it being so variable
that no two pieces bend alike.

A FASHIONABLE RUSE.
eilat Things Are Not Always What They
Seem Evidenced In This Case.

The season Of wed, lngs taxes the in
souable devotees The receptions to
which many of tho so called upper crust
resort to discharge social obligations are
almost incredible to old fogies not in
the swim. 1t has long been the accepted
custom of brides who receive many du-
plicate presents to exchange the same at
the stores where they were purchased.
or defaced in any manner mert kants, as
a rule, are very willing to make salts
factory exchanges.
A volume might be written on the
revelations that this custom has often
brought about. 1t has been the unguessed
cause of more than one social sensation.
Less than a year ago fashionable bride
OF Gotham received gorgeously snowy
gift in repousse silver from an old school
girl friend, daughter of multimillion-
aire. The present was displayed in a
beautiful box bearing the stamp of a
famous house, and attracted unusual at
tention from the guests. Several months
after the wedding the bride, in an un-
lucky moment, took this apparently
gorgeous gift, together with others, to
exchange for articles for which she had
more immediate need.
When the selections she made were
delivered at her residence she was sur
prised to find the repousse silver. A
note from the firm stated that the silver
had not been purchased at their store.
1t was plated goods. They added, how
ever, that they had detected the trade
mark of firm in the Bowery. If mad
am desired, they would furnish the ad-
dress. A visit to the Bowery jeweler
confirmed this assertion, and the indig-
nant bride bided her time. In short
time the giver of the spurious silver
was welded. The most striking gift she
received was a familiar box, in which
reposed the unlucky piece of repousse
silver. 1t bore no name; it was not ex-
hibited. No comment was ever made by
either party. To all outward appear
ance the social intimacy is unru1led.-

Two Literary Condolences.

In recent after dinner speech Rider
Haggard mentioned two old literary CO.
medicines that had occurred in connec-
tiun with his works.
One of these concerned his invention
of an incident on the Tana river, where
mission station was attacked by the
Nasal and the mission people were
killed. Strange to say, after his imagi-
nary account had appeared, some mis-
sionaries did found a station ON that
river, We're attacked by the Nasal and
some of them We're killed.
In his book, "The People of the
Mist" he had fixed upon an unknown
part Of Africa and had described re-
gion from his inner consciousness, and
only Il week before the speech was made
a company, in which the author is a di
rector, had sent out orders to take pos
session Of tho very tract he had in
view, and so far as the reports of the
native agents who had inspected it went
he believed his descriptions were fairly
correct.

HAIR UNDER THE MICROSCOPE.
One of the Many Important Factors In
Murder Cases.

Murder Cases.
In centuries past the human hair
played an important part in all judicial
proceedings. Those that were permitted
to wear beard and hair had rights that
could not be claimed by the shorn and
shaved. When men made oath, they
touched their beard and hair, and wom
en- placed the finger tips of the right
hand Oh their tresses.
Servants were obliged to have their
hair cut, and if freedman went into
slavery he had to divest himself of his
hirsute adornments. An adult adopted
by foster parents was obliged to have
his beard shaved and the shaving Of
beard and hair was punishment in
flicted OH criminals The Jurisprudence
of our ancestors dealt with punishment
"by skin and hair" for small offenses
and "by neck and hand" for greater
crimes.
There has always been more or less
superstition about hair. Great strength
was implied by it, and wizards and
witches knew of concoctions of hair by
which they poisoned enemies. Cats hair
was especially named in the category of
poisonous hairs, and even at the begin
ming of the seventeenth century Paulus
Zacchias, famous physician, writes of
the virulent poison of the hair of cats.
Among civilized people such supersti-
tious beliefs have gone out of existence,
and only Malays give their enemies
tiger hairs i'll broth to kill them.
Hair today, however, is one of the
important factors in deciding murder
cases, and the microscopic examination
Of hair, where it's found in criminal
cases under suspicious circumstances, is
invariable.
The first thing the coroner is called
upon to determine is whether the hair
is from man or beast. The microscope
determines this beyond peradventure.
Animal hair differs in construction from
that grown Oh q human head. In human
hair the upper skin is smooth and thin.
The circular section is comparatively
broad, forming the main part of the
hair shaft. 1t is striped in appearance
and carries the color matter. The tubu-
lar part is thin, extending to about one
fifth and certainly not more than to
one-quarter Of the entire width of the
hair.
Animal hair also consists of three
parts, but these are differently con-
structed, the tube often filling tho en-
tire hair. The ends of the hair must be
closely watched, and especially woman s
hair will be found ragged and torn at
the ends.
The hair from boards is usually the
thickest, its diameter being as much as
OIL millimeters, whilo hair from female
heads can be as fine as diameter of 0. 06
millimeters would make it.-St. Louis

Since succeeding the above-named firm,
whose entire stock, fixtures and good will we
have purchased, we have remodeled the cele-
brated Braddock Distillery in all Its ap-
purtenances, until it now stands without a
rival as one of the most complete plants in
the United States for the manufacture of a
perfectly pure all-rye Whiskey for medicinal
or other purposes, free from fusel Or other
poisonous oils SO frequently found in less
reliable goods.
We have testimonials from leading phys
icians III all parts of the country commencing
the Braddock for its medicinal properties.
Among the latest is one from Professor
j. II. Mallet, the distinguished chemist of
the University Of Virginia. who, at our re
quest, made very careful analysis of it, and
writes as follows:
The sample of Braddock sent me upon
analysis contains no sulphates nor heavy
metals such as copper, lead or zinc and APP
pears to be a sound, genuine whiskey, free
