Uses of Bamboo

The attention of builders is being
drawn to the value Of bamboo asa build
ing material. The great strength Of
bamboo poles, is not at. all understood
by the majority Of persons. It is stated
on excellent authority that two banl-
boo poles, each Of them / 7-10 inches in
diameter, when placed side by,side, will
support a grand piano slung between
them by ropes, and that they will
neither sag nor break under the burden.
Bamboo will form poles 65 to 20 feet
long and from 8 to 10 inches in diane
ter. "A derrick 26 feet high, made Of
four-inch bamboo poles, raised twoiron
Orders weighing together 424 pounds,
The wonderful ightness Of this materi-
al in proportion to its strength has ex--
cited comment OF late, and new uses
are constantly being made Of it, Seat
'foldings Of bamboo have the advantage
Of lightness and strength. Its predict
ed that this material will come in gem
eral use for such purpose . An addi--
tional advantage is that bamboo resista
decay ia water as well as il earth that
the older and drier it gets, the mors
solid it becomes, and that it can Be
grown for an edibly small sun.

The antiquity Of the rose is so great

Solomon, but the allusions.to it then
made is such as to indicate that the
flower had already been knpwn, for the
essence ofaroses was extensively used
in Jerusalem and Judeas s during the
reign Of the luxurious and smuch-mar-
lried king. In Egypt thessrose is de-

wild roses. Even the frozen regions
OF the north, where the summer lasts
but two or three months, and is at best
a season which may. be described as
very late in the fall, produce their wild
roses, and travellers through Greenland,

No Ralx1ng. After Harve.ts.

No Rakings After Harvests.
Under old methods of harvesting the
steel rake was very importantadjunct
to secure scattered grain. Yet even in
those days good farmers did not find
those rakings very valuable, as they
were always stained and often nearly
ready to sprout by alternate wet and
dry weather. The new harvesters leave
no rahngs, and as what would other
wise be wasted is thus saved for market,
1t makea q material addition to the
crop. We know farmers who used to
thresh the rakings separately and grind
them for hog feed rather than mix the
stained with the marketable grain.

the settlement of the Pacific railroad
question than it was before the House
defeated the funding bill. but 1T Is
doubtful whether the conflicting opln-

and determine how it shall be paid,
with an amendment, offered by Senator
Morgan, reserving to Congress the right
