Christening a BattIeship

The new Japanese cruiser Kasaji
will be christened at the ship-yard
at Philadelphia by Miss Long,
daughter of the Secretary of the
Navy, who has been requested to
act as sponsor for the vessel. The
vessel will not be christened in the
usual way by the breaking of bot
tie of wine over its nose, but by a
much prettier ceremony. A white
dove will be released from silken
bag, as good omen for the new ship.
The white dove is bird held sacred
in Japan, and the ceremony on the
bow of the ship will be in token Of
a sacred guardianship of the war
ship in the future From the Amer
lean point of view; the leosing of the
dove, which is a bird of peace,
might be an appropriate Indication
of the war-like purpose of the YES
sci. Be that as it may, the Japa-
nese ceremony is superior to that in
favor In our country. 1t is certain,
ly more beautiful picture, that of q
lovely young woman standing upor
the prov of q battieship and loosing
dove to soar out above the water:
and hover as q guardian spirit of The
vessel in peace and war, than tina
of young woman standing in thu
same place and smashing bottle o
wine or whiskey as an oblation t.

Pig Pork.

Among the many radical changes
in farm management during the last
quarter of century there are few
that have brought the farmer great
er profit than that of marketing pigs
at six or seven months old, instead
of keeping them three times as
long. The best market demand at
present is for good, fat pigs, and
they command the highest price.
It has been demonstrated over and
over again, that the cost per pound
increases with the age Of the pig, and
so it is in the line of economy to push
the pigs from the start and sell ear
ly. I have no data to determine ex-
actly what the savings is, but Tvep

BUILT-UP WOOD.
A Veneering Process That Makes Sub
stantiaI Furniture.

1t may come as a revelation to
some to learn that the veneered ta-
BILE, sideboard or other article OF
furniture with a core of white pine
is more durable than the solid
pieces of our forefathers. In high
class store, where antique furniture
is kept, a close Examination of the
various articles will show that most
of them have some defects; the wood
is wharped, checked or cracked
somewhere. This is one of the in
evitable mishaps to hard woods, no
matter how carefully they are cured
and preserved. In about nine
cases out of ten the wood will show
defects before half century old.
The old veneered furniture has its
defects also; but thay are in the
form of chips and pieces knocked
out. This can be remedied by We
neering over again, but the cracks
in solid wood cannot well be repair
ed, says the Boston Transcript.
The so-called system of building
up" lumber is now employed in the
manufacture of most of this hard
some furniture. This is a great inn
provment over the fashioned
one-layer veneer work, and it is the
most durable ever made. 1t CON
sists of cementing together thin We
neers of different woods transversely
with the grain. The veneered runs
in thickness all the way from one
sixteenth of an inch to half an inch.
Generally only hard woods, are used
for veneers, but core of soft and
light wood is nearly always employ
ed. On this core of pine the We
neers are cemented. The first layer
has the grain running from right to
left; the second layer has the grain
running up and. down, and the
third and Fourth diagonally, cross
wise and every other direction.
The result is that the "built-up'
board can neither crack, split, warp
nor twist. Moreover, it is lighter
than any solid hardwood board,
more flexible and durable.
This "built-up'' idea of wood
Originated in the shop of America,
and it has been worked here more
generally than abroad, although al
of the European factories now avail
themselves of the system. 1t is
really the old idea of veneering inn
proved and developed. It was dis
covered and employed in the manu-
facture of the old three-ply chair anC
car seats. The remarkable dura
bility, strength and reliability 10
these seats were apparent at once
and they have been in vogue eve
since. They were made by cement
ing together three thin veneers o
some strong wood, such as maple
ash or oak, with the grain running
in opposite directions. The amour
of strain these wooden seats woul'
stand was beyond belief Chicag

How to Look Good.

Good looks are really more than
skin deep, depending entirely on the
healthy condition of all the vital or
gans. If the liver be inactive, you
have bilious look; if your stomach
be disordered, you have a dyspeptic
look; if your kidneys be affected, you
have a pinched look. Secure good
health, and you will surely have
good looks. Electric Bittersi is
good alternative and tonic. Acts
directly on the stomach. liver and kid
ney. Purifies the blood, cures pim-
Piles, blotches and boils. and gives a
good complexion. Every bottle guar.
