VENEER PRODUCTION.
Some Woods Can BE Sawed as Thin a
Writing Paper.

Some Woods Can BE Sawed Thin as
Writing Paper.
While the finer and thinner veneers
of costly woods are sliced tangentially
from the side of the log, there are
woods that cannot be cut this way--no
amount of boiling or steaming render
ing it possible to cut them without
breaking down the tissues to such an
extent as to destroy their surfaces for
polishing-while others, says Hard
wood, becoming discolored from
steaming or boiling, and being too hard
to cut otherwise, have to be sawed.
The fine-toothed, thin-gauge circular,
with Hanged center, is the favorite for
cutting all ordinary veneers thicker
than 80 to the inch; 20 to the inch is the
thickness most commonly used for cab
met work and finishing, but much
thinner is used in the case of rare and
costly woods, or rare abnormal or acct
dental figures, as in the case of burls.
Some woods have to be cut much thick
err, being unable to bear handling when
too thin; genuine ebony, the only fine
really jet-blacll wood known, and large
enough to be of any use. will not stand
saving much below on6-fourth of an
inch in thickness, owing to the extreme
brittleness or want of cohesion, but
there are other woods that can be cut as
thin as writing paper and still be
handled in large sheets. Other woods
there are that will lose their fine color
on exposure to the atmosphere, espe-
cially a smoky one; these are cut only
when Immediately wanted, and are
kept covered until the finishers can put
on protective coat of some prepara-
ton.

STYLISH PARASOLS.

mer Belle.
Many of the chiffon parasols this sea-
son are lined with chiffon instead of
silk, and it is shirred and ruched up and
down the sticks with reckless disre-
gard of the quantity of the material.
Two or three ruf11es trim the edge with
ruche above ard around the top; and
one novel design is a white silk parasol
covered with white chiffon ruffles edged
with narrow cream lace. Colored chif-
fon parasols are. also fashionable, and
mauze is especially pretty. Flowered
gauze, with a satin edge, a white
ground, and made over colored lining
is another novelty in sunshades. Glace
silk parasols are lined with cascades
of chiffons and fringed with green
leaves, and with the new fad for soft,
quiet colors comes the dove-colored
parasol, lined with pink, and with
pink bow on the handle. Pink, by the
way, is most becoming lining, as it
imparts pretty glow to the COM

Their Destructtveness Shown by the Con-
tents of BurrOw.
Arthur S. Burr, of Old Haddam, when
going across lots recently discovered
the carcass of woodchuck partly eat
en-, and little further along ruffed
grouse. Thinking it was the work of a
fox, he made search and found the bur-
row, with large black hen and two
more cartridges at its mouth. Suspect
ing there were young partridges in the
row, he made up his mind to return
and dig them out, as the town of Had
dam pays bounty of two dollars a
head.
1t was five days before he had a
chance to do this, and when he dug out
the burrow with the assistance of
Sherm Fowler he found that the willy
mother fox had removed. They were
determined to have that bounty. and in
cidentally the foxes, and after long
search they found a new burrow, pick
ing up two more cartridges on the way.
On digging out this new hole they took
out eight cartridges, three rabbits and
a very large woodchuck, with five
young foxes in the end. The cartridges
were partly eaten. but the wodchuck
was completely cleaned out, nothing
but the skin being left.
Sportsmen have long claimed that
foxes were more destructive to game
than all the hunters, and have noted a
great increase of foxes in towns that
have not paid a bounty for the last few
years. The only incentive the farmers
boys have for killing the fox is the
bounty money. Eight cartridges in
burrow but four days old show the
great destructivenass of foxes

Thinning out Garden Crops.

Few practices are more profitable
than thinning cut garden crops. Ii the
knowledge of the proper sowing of
seeds was more widely prevalent no
thinning would be needed, but SO MANY
persons sow the seeds fearing that
numbers will fail to grow, and there
fore many more seeds are used than is
necessary. But sometimes all these
superfuous seeds grow, in which case
it is desirable that they should be
thinned. Not only do the vegetable
plants grow larger under these circum-
stances, but in many cases they come
earlier into use.-Rural World.

ANIMAL WARFARE.

Monkeys of Africa Depend Upon Their
Numbers and Discipline.
The conditions of the life of the mon
key in Africa are sufficiently curious
without reference to their acquired
habits, though these are undoubtedly
due to the dangers to which the nature
OF the country in which they live OK
poses them. The different species of
balloons, which are found commonly
over the whole African continent, are
all by nature dwellers in the open coun-
try. They find their food on the ground,
and whether this be insects or vege-
tables, it is usually in places which af-
ford little shelter or protection. Though
strong and well armed with teeth, they
are slow animals, with little of the mon
not particularly active even when
climbing among rocks.
In a rocky "kopjes" of the south, says
the Spectator, of the cliffs and river
sides of Abyssinia and the Nile tribu-
taries, they are safe enough. But they
often abandon these entirely to invade
the low country. During the Abyssin-
ian expedition conducted by Lord Ma
pier of Magdala they regularly camped
near our environments on the coast and
stole the grain on which the cavalry
horses and transport animals were fed
When on expeditions of this kind they
often leave their strongholds for days
together, and the means of joint de-
felse from enemies in the open coun-
try are then carefully organized. Their
natural enemies when thus exposed
are the leopard, the lion, and the south
ern Africa and Cape wild dogs. To the
attack of the leopard they oppose num-
bers and discipline.

A BALLAD OF TIE OLD DAYS.

You talk about your two-wheeled steed
With patent rubber tires
And shiny spokcs and padded seats,
That all the world admireS;
But remember well time
When three wheels met my need;
And, say! caught the public with
My old velocipede.
When Skinny Watts billy goat
His masters joy and pride
Came drawing Skinny down the street
I'd wheel up to his side;
And 1 would say, says 1: my boy,
Your goat is gettin Old"
Says Skinny: He can beat your rig
For marbles, chalk or gold"
Gee whillikens! the fun we had!-
And how that goat did race,
While Skinny's coat tails tapped the
wind
Before my eager face.
With fast and ever faster tread
pushed the pedals round;
Ny breath it came and went so hard
heard no other sound.
With many an anxious glance ahead
Along the rutty track,
My. rivals reinsman piled his whip
Upon his racers back.
First I would gain, and then the goat,
Inspired by Skinny's whacks,
Would shake me off as If had
Been anchored in my tracks.
As we approached the finish line,
Where, packed in triple ranks,
The people stood, my wheels were close
Beside the billy's TANKS.
Determined now to do or die,
summoned all my strength,
And, though the billy did his best
I led him home length.
The goat has gone unto his rest
mind the day he died
And how we youngsters buried him,
And how we softly cried:
And how poor Sl1inny's heart was sore
For many and many a day,
With thinking of his trusty pet
That death had led away.
But time, that gives, doth also heal
The wounds he wanton makes,
And Skinny-beg your pardon, judge
Now drives in stylish brakes;
While I, as in those halcyon days,
The silent steed best like,
Wherefore my old velocipede
Was followed by a bike.

How to
Live q


In an address on old age,
recently published in the Brit
ish Medical Journal Sir James
Crichton Browne, MD, LID,
says: "Man is entitled to
live one hundred years. F."
Many men have lived a CEN
fury and not one of them has
ever committed suicide. Note
that fact. 1t is a simple ques-
ton of wear and repair. Acct
dents excepted, a human life
is measured by the body's
power to build itself up as fast
as use tears it down. In health
this is done.
But disease attacks it. APP
petite and digestion fail;
strength declines flesh melts
like snow. What can stop the
wasting and replace the loss ?

THE BEST OF THE SEASON.

Last night at Metropolitan Hall the
concert for the Raleigh Public Library
was given. Seldom has so elaborate q
programme been presented in Ralelgh
with such art and finish. The rainy
weather interfered with the audience,
and it is much regretted that the
number who had the opportunity OF
ENJOYING the performance was SO
limited. Every number in the excel
lent programme was finely rendered.
The selections were made with fine
discretion, and not one was unenjoy-
able. From a purely musical stand
point it was one of the most successful
concerts ever given here. Those who
attended are asking for a second pre-
sentation.
Prof. and Mrs. Bryant, Secretary
Overton, and others have put forth un-
usual efforts in their endeavor to pre-
sent a phenomenal programme, and
they deserve and will receive the
hearty gratitude Of the promoters of
the library. Prof. Bryant's self-sacri-
ficing efforts deserve the highest COM
mendation.
Among those who took part We're:
Prof. and Mrs. G.. w. Bryant, Miss Pat-
tie Montgomery, Mrs. r. l.. Mailer,

One queer feature Of the requisition
was the ''sealed sentence attached.
1T seems that in South Carolina a fugi-

sentenced by the judge, the sentence
being written ard sealed. This is not
allowed to Be opened until the fugitive
IS caught.

Strikers Held Back by Bayoncts.

CLEVELAND, July 17.-Four companies
of militia surround the works Of the
Brown Hosting and Conveying company.
A mob of several thousand congregated o
short distance from the works yesterday
and numerically jeered tho soldiers, but
any attempt on the part of the men to ap-
proach near the works was promptly met
by pointed bayonets The mob was finally
dispersed by the police without any one
being injured. The motorinen on the
Cleveland City Railway company whose
St. Clair street line runs near the Brown
works, have refused to carry non-union
men. The attitude of the strikers and
their sympathizers is one Of extreme Bit
terness and the authorities express much
anxiety over the situation.
