Factories Without Chimneys.

The statement that a chimney, the
third or fourth tallest in the world, has
just been completed at a cost of $685.
900, and the announcement that the
most gratifying success has attended the
use Of forced draft, without any Chin
neys whatever out of the ordinary, ap-
pear in contemporary journals. The ex-
pertinent of forced draft gives promise
Of great economy in fuel, as we'll as
doing away with the expensive and un-
ornamental chimney. The draft arrange
ment consists of a large fan, which is
connected with a by double cylinder
engine. The fan has wheel Sd inches
in diameter and runs at almost any rate
of speed desired. The draft is something
prodigious and makes it possible to en-
ploy fuel of a lower grade than any
heretofore used. Instead of the best
Gun: erland coal, a mixture of Cumber-
land and screenings has been tried. The
cost of operating the fan, even with i'm
perfect apparatus, is something like
$500 per annum. The smokestack is
scarcely taller than the roof of the
building and Of less capacity than that
heretofore used for such purposes. New

DOORS or VENEER.
Few Doors, Not Even the More Cost
", Made OF Solid Wood.

Few Doors, Not Even the More Cost
", Made Of Solid Wood.
The very finest Of doors are made
nowadays Of veneer on body of pine
Even when made Of mahogany or some
other costly wood doors have to be We
neered. The body Of the door is made
Ola plain, straight grained mahogany,
while the surfaces are veneers Of fine
wood. ~ *
In the finest doors the body is made
Of selected white pine, free from sap
and perfectly seasoned, which is cut in
to narrow strips and then glued to-
gether. The outer edges of this door are
faced with what is called veneer, but
which is really strip Of the fine wood
half an inch or more in thickness. The
inner edges Of the frame, by the panels,
are covered in the same manner with
thick strips, in which the ornamental
holdings or carvings are made and
which are grooved to receive the panels.
This built up frame of white pine,
with edges Of the fine wood, is then
veneered with the fine wood. In some
lighter doors the panels may be of solid
mahogany, but in the finer, larger and
heavier doors the panels also are made
Of sheets of white pine with veneering
Of the fine wood, SO that the entire door
| is veneered.
It would be difficult, if not impossi-
BILE, to procure at any cost mahogany
lumber in fine and beautiful woods of
sufficient size for the larger doors. The
built up and veneered door of pine
wood, however, has every appearance
| of solid door, and, made of selected
veneers, it may be more beautiful than
solid door would be. It is more serv-
iceable and remains longer perfect. Its
cost is about half what solid door
would cost.-New York Sun.

Story of Lincoln.

Yours of the 10th inst received. I am well
acquainted with Mr.. x. and know his circum-

together they ought to be worth $4,000. Sec

rathole, which will bear looking into. Re-

WASHINGTON RELICS.
Articles of Priceless Worth Kept In

Articles of Priceless Worth Kept In
the National Museum.
One Of the most interesting relics in
the National museum at Washington is
the camp chest used by Washington
throughout the Revolution. It is a COM
pact affair about the size Of tourist s
wicker chest for cooking of the present
day, TX feet long, 2 feet wide, 1 foot
high, and it contains an outfit consist
ing Of finder box, pepper and salt
boxes, bottles, knives, forks, gridiron
and plates. Every bit of the outfit save
one bottle, which is broken at the
shoulder, looks strong enough to stand
another campaign.
Near by are the tents used by Wash
ington-three in number. One is a
sleeping tent, % feet long, with walls
6 feet high and roof with a 6 foot
pitch. It is made of linen. The other
two are marquee tents Of smaller size,
one with walls, the other shelter tent
open on the sides. That the tenting ma
terial of Revolutionary days was good
stuff is proved by the excellent condi-
tion of these tents, which sheltered the
great commander through all his severe
campaigns.
Here also is Washington's uniform,
worn by him when he gave up his COM
mission as commander in chief of the
army, at Annapolis in 1888. It consists
Of big shadbelly coat of blue broad
cloth, lined and trimmed with soft
buckskin and ornamented with broad,
fat brass buttons; buckskin waistcoat
and breeches. The size of the garments
(Which are in state of excellent pres.
ervation) testify to the big stature of
the Father Of His Country and sug.
gest that he had an eye to a fine ap-
pearance in his dress. Washington

picked up brown felt bowler, brushed
it round with his arm and extended it
admiringly.
"T41ese are being very much worn

"Are they?" said the customer
thoughtfully, surveying himself in the
mirror, with his hat on his head. "Do
you think it suits me?'

There is garden in her face -.--. -. o..
Where roses and white lilies grow;
A heavenly paradise is that place
Wherein all pleasant fruits do flow.
There cherries grow which none may buy
Till "Cherry ripe" themselves do cry.
Those cherries fairly do inclose

Which when her lovely laughter shows
They look like rosebuds filled with SNOW.
Yet them nor peer nor prince can buy .
Till "Cherry ripe'' themselves do Cry.
Her eyes like angels watch them still,
Her brows like Bonded bows do stand,
Threatening with piercing frowns to kill
All that attempt with eye or hand
Those sacred cherries to come nigh
Till "Cherry ripe" themselves do cry.

said the visitor might one day be sen.

THE SLY POLAR BEAR.
How He Gets His Dinner of Seal or
Walrus Meat.

How He Gets His Dinner of Seal or
Walrus Meat.
In his native home the polar bear
does not often meet with small boys
anxious to treat him to buns and other
dainties The consequence is that bruin
has to devise many curious ways of Sc
curing his food, and none is more
strange and interesting than that relat-
ed by two trustworthy travellers in
Greenland, that country Of strange
sights.
They have known the polar bear to
take stone or huge lump of ice in
his fore paws and from favorable
height, as a cliff or a precipitous ice
hill, to hurl the missile down upon the
head Of a walrus, an enormous brute
often twice the size Of the bear, and so
stun him that bruin could rush in and
complete the destruction at his leisure,
thus securing months rations.
The most usual food of the ice bear,
as the Germans very appropriately call
this beast, is the common seal Of the
arctic regions. The latter is the war;
est animal of the north, and both Eski-
mo and polar bear need their best STRAIT
egg to catch it.
In the summer time, when the snow
is off the ice of the ocean shore and
is]ets, the seals can be plainly seen as
black dots on the ice, probably asleep,
but always near their holes, which lead
down through the thick ice to the water
below, and into which they can throw
themselves by the least movement.
Bruin, seeing one afar, walks up as
near as he deems safe and then begins
crawling on his wary prey.
The seal, if the weather be sunny
and pleasant, takes short maps, relieved
by shorter moments when it is scanning
the vicinity for signs of an enemy's ap-
proach. During these times the bear is
very quiet and as still as death itself,
with eyes apparently closed, though
really corner of each is kept open, and
in this way he hopes the seal will take
him for heap of snow, an appearance
which his coat readily helps him to as
sumo.
During the maps he creeps forward
with greater or less rapidity, according
to his nearness to the seal and conse-
quent fear of being heard or seen.
When but 10 or 10 yards away, and the
seal is in the depths Of good nap, the
bear rushes upon him and with single
blow of his powerful paw knocks the
smaller brute senseless and SO far away
from the hole that he cannot escape by
that way, even if the blow received
not Immediately fatal.
In winter time the ice is covered with
snow. and this is followed out by the
seal into a snowhouse, covering the hole
in the ice and connecting at the top Of
the dome with an aperture about the
size of a shilling, called the blowhole,
for it is through this that the seal
breathes when he is in want of fresh air.
Here the bear watches for many a
long hour if necessary, and when the
snorts Of the seal are heard he crushes
in the fragile dome Of the snowhouse
with his paw, impaling the seal on his
curved claws, and proceeds to practi.
cally demonstrate how polar bears can
subsist in arctic winter. -London

A HSteele BARGAIN"

Adam Steele of Shelby county once
rented lanyard to a Mr.. Jones on
shares. His idea was to risk in the
business only the use of his lanyard
and not to incur any further liability.
So he protected himself by the fol-
lowing safe clause in the contract:
IF anything is made, the said Steele
is to have it, and if anything is lost the
said Jones is to lose it,
And this is known in Shelby as reg
ular Adam Steele bargain to this day.

Five years ago Andrew Carnegie. who IS
leading the fight against expansion. was
the original expansionist Of the United
States. He wrote a magazine article which
he called "A Look Ahead" and which he
afterwards incorporated in a book. This
Look Ahead" he had printed IN pamphlet
form. He distributed copies among his
Washington friends and some Of them
whom he has been lecturing recently be-
cause they Do not join his crusade against
the administration are bringing out the
chapter in his record and passing 1t around
for the amusement OF public men. The
expansion which Mr. Carnegie advocated
of England, Scotland. Wales. Ireland and
Canada with the United States.
1.-THE American people said Mr. Carne-
gle, are favorable TO the extension Of ma
tionai boundaries. No evil, but great good
has come from every succeeding addition
TO their union. Therefore, a proposition
To reunite Britain and the republic would
not seem anything novel to them. They
used To territorial expansion.
We observe in the history Of the world"
continued Mr.. Carnegie that patriotism
IS ever expansive. Centuries ago the people
Of Perugia and Assist fifteen miles apart
were deadly enemies attacked each other
and played a. making war and treaties.
Even st Francis WAS wounded In one OF
these campaigns Tie patriotism OF the
Peyugiau and the ASST ssian could not en-
brace an area SO great as fifteen miles. To-
day patriotism stretches over hundreds of
miles-In some cases thousands OF miles
ami does not lose but gains, IN intensity
0s II covers a wider area There is more
TO be patriotic about"
The man who could reason thus for the
expansion OF which he dreamed now de-
votes himself TO propaganda against the
expansion to which tho logic OF events
leads. Mr.. Carnegie is in danger Of max
ing himself funny.
