Gen. Grant ns Il Cadet Display e d Quail
ties Conspicuous In Later Days.
The following story was told by Col.
Green, a classmate of Gen. u. S. Grant
at West Point, says the American Horse
Breeder:
zone day when the members of
Grants class were called out for drill
on horseback there were not horses
enough by one to goround. Grant was
one of the shortest men in his class.
consequently was on the extreme left
of the company, and he was the one
for whom there was no horse. The
officer ordered horse brought, which
was done. The animal was a vicious
brute, which had proved so unman-
ageable that he had been discarded.
The officer in charge did not notice the
horse until just as young Grant vault
ed into the saddle, when, horror-strick-
en-, he ordered him TO dismount. The
horse did his part to assist the rider TO
obey the order, but Grant drove his
spurs into the sides of the infuriated,
plunging, kicking. boiling brute, and
guided him into an open field, where he
gave such an exhibition of amateur
horsemanship as no member of that
class had ever before witnessed. Be
fore the contest was ended the horse
was thoroughly subdued and from that
time became a useful. obedient animal,
but it was always ridden by Grant"

WOOD MOSAIC OF sAwoUsT.
Highly Ornamental Process for Mold
ing Doors and Floor Material.

Highly Ornamental Process for Mold
ing Doors and Floor Material.
In the reports of the Industrial union
mention is made of new process of
floor mosaic, says the Yale Scientific
Monthly. Small particles of wood. as
sawdust. wood flour and fine shavings,
are treated first with n mixture of shell
lac and alcohol. and then with cement
made of curd and Stacked lime. While
this mixture is still damp, IL is put into
hot molds of the desired shape and size,
and placed under pressure. The joint
action of the heat and pressure unto
the wood most thoroughly with both
the shellac and the cement. After few
minutes the compound IS taken out OF
the molds when il is thoroughly coolel
and hardened. Great care is necessary
that no foreign substances, especially
of an oily nature, be present, as itwould
prevent the cement from being abb
sorbed into the pores OF the wood. In
making different colored mosaic the
natural color of the woods used is taken
into consideration. then the wood itself
is dyed, and lastly dyes dissolved in
alcohol are mixed with the shellac. Tho
process is then performed as before.
In spite of its hardness this compound
possesses all the perfection of wood, so
that it is particularly we'll adapted for
use as n floor covering in living rooms
and private dwellings. An important
advantage over all other processes Of
manufacturing mosaic floors is that Il
is not affected by any change Of tenn

QuEEN,s JueILeE PENANoE.
Subjects who VIII Send Her Majesty
Their Photographs.


Their photographs.
Some weeks ago we protested strong
ly against the proposal that cards of
congratulation should be showered
upon the queen from subjects person
ally unknown to her majesty during the
approaching celebration, says the Lon
don Times. We pointed out that the fa-
tigues of this period for all members
of the court will be quite trying enough
without any addition to them in the
shape of thousands, possibly millions,
of extra letters being delivered at the
royal residences and requiring atten-
tion. Since then it has been announced
that all communications intended for
her majesty in connection with the dia-
mond jubilee must be forwarded
through the secretary of state, but in
spite of this a firm of photographers,
showing more enterprise than good
sense, revived the unfortunate sugges-
ton mentioned above. They have sent
US a specimen of card they are issu-
ing, bearing the words: with heartfelt
wishes for your most gracious majesty's
royal subject" and with a space for the
sender's photograph, which, of course,
is TO be taken by the firm. Perhaps
the surest means of dissuading any who
might be inclined to make use of so
unreasonable a form of felicitating her
majesty on an event of which she knows
oil her subjects are proud is to point
out that their cards are not at all like
ly to get any nearer the queen than the
home Office in Whitehall.
