Washington Furniture Initiated and Of

fered for Sale as Real
George Washington's desk, together
with some other pieces of his furniture,
is in the governors room at the New
York city hall, says the Collector, and
a very well-kept, convenient looking
desk it is, made of well-polished ma
hogany, and with lots of room for the
writer's arm. .as'...r.--
Visitors to this room are inclined to
doubt the age of the desk. Enterpris-
ing furniture makers got its dimen-
sions n year ago, and promptly flooded
the country with George Washington
desks. They are close reproductions,
and several of them have been held in
country towns as the original desk.
A dealer in antiques received letter
from a New England town last week
asking what he would pay for George
Washington's desk. The writer said that
it was in perfect condition, and he could
establish its identity by comparing it
with the old pictures of George Wash
ington's furniture.
Probably the writer was honest in
his pretense that his desk was the
original" said the dealer, but of course
it is only one of the many counterfeits
that have been made.
There is hardly historic piece of
old furniture but has been counterfeit
ed, and every week l receive letters
from country people who have found
enc of these productions, and, believ-
ing it to be genuine, offer to sell it for
large price. Some of these reproduc-
tions only an expert can detect"

ENEMIES OF ENGLAND.
Great Britain Has Fought and Conquered
Three Great Potentates.

The three greatest potentates of mod
ern times have been England's strenu-
Gus antagonists-viz., Philip H., Louis
XIV. and Napoleon. Of these three Ma
Poleon was the most powerful, says
Blackwood's Magazine, Philip the most
deadly. The leaders under whom the
English rallied against these world-fa-
nous monarchs were, first, Elizabeth
and Drake; second, William and Marl-
borough; Third, Pitt and Nelson. The
result of the first of these great his
toric duels was to overturn the founda-
tons of Spanish empire, with its do
minion over the seas, its vast colonial
possessions, it's claim under a papal
bull to an exclusive monopoly of the
new world. The result of the second was
to decide which should be the residuary
legatee of the deceased Spanish power,
france or England; giving in the end
the succession to its old world domin-
ions to France, its trade, maritime su-
premacy and colonies mainly to Eng
land.
The result of the third was to shat
ter Napoleon's hopes of ascendancy by
sea, and to force him back on European
conquests, upon projects which related
to the old world and not to the new.
Pitt and Nelson did not disappear un-
til that end was attained and England's
part in the later wars of Napoleon was
that, having, as Pitt said in almost his
closing words, saved herself by her
energy she saved Europe by her ex-
ample and assistance.

A New Pine.

A new kind of pipe, which is said to be
sweeter and in many respects superior
to the corncob or any other inexpensive
pipe now on the market, is to be made
in Nevada county, Cal, from burrs
which grow on the pine trees in thatre
gion. The pine burr pipes are said to be
freer from nicotine than any other,
and they have long been used locally. A
factory has been started to manufacture
the pipes for the general market, some
one having taken out patent on the
pipe.

PENSIONS FOR ALL.
Provisions Being Made for Veterans Who

Provisions Being Made for Veterans Who
Served Their Country Before 1861.
There are some persons who have
borne arms in the service of the United
States in wars before 1861 who are not
on the pension rolls. There are vet
Grams and widows of veterans of the sew
sral Indian wars between 1882 and 1912
scattered over the west and south, and
there are five survivors who took part
in the Seminole war in Florida in 1917
1918. OF the Indian wars later than
1882 down to 1860 there are a great many
survivors, so that the total number of
benefciaries under an act to pension
these veterans and widows of veterans
is probably about 1000. To pension
this number will require about $3.50, 900
a year, and the senate committee on pen
sions has drafted bill to this effect.

WON'T Work There.

1t is an odd fact that the telegraph
lines will not work through the Hoosac
tunnel. Messages have to be sent on
wires strung on poles over the top of
the mountains, fully nine miles, and
that is the way ingoing and outcoming
passenger and freight trains are her
aided to the keepers of the two tunnel
approaches. In order to maintain
this overland mountain line a swath of
woodland has to be kept clear of trees
and bushes directly up the steep noun
tain side. There are supposed to be
magnetic ores inside the mountain.
