A War Relic.

George M. Wilmington, a veteran OF
the Seventeenth regiment, while visit
ing his brother, the Rev. Richard Mil
lington, at Coonrod, found among the
latter's war relics a poster printed on
cloth calling for recruits for the Seven
teenth Michigan infantry. The poster
reads as follows: Seventeenth regi-
ment, Michigan infantry. One hundred
dollars bounty! First months pay in
advance! Rendezvous, Detroit barracks
Fifty recruits wanted to fill up a COM
pany in the new regiment, to serve for
three years or during the war, unless
sooner discharged. Recruits will receive
$13 per month, with board, clothing
and medical attendance, to commence
from the day of enlistment, and hOun-
ty of 500. Apply to Alfred Abeel, first

A Cord of Wood.

Few persons comprehend the produc-
tive capacity of cord of wood. Chem
ical experiments ara occasionally de-
yeloping new uses for wood in matters
remote from it's ordinary adaptability,
and the feature that is exciting great
deal of interest just now is the trans
formation of wood products into liquids.
Although under the strongest kind of
pressure wood yields scarcely any mois-
ture, by means of heat wood will evolve
gases and liquids of marked potency and
utility. In converting wood into char
coal gases and smoke arise which can be
condensed into pyroligneous acid. 1t is
estimated that there is fully 65 per cent
Of this acid in given quantity Of wood,
and from it are extracted wood alcohol,
acetate of lime and wood tars. The al
cohol thus obtained is said to be very
satisfactory substitute for grain alcohol
for mechanical and manufacturing pur-
poses, and it can be produced at less
than one-third Of the cost Of the grain
alcohol. -..' ..
Investigations conducted with prac-
tical objects in view have disclosed
these interesting facts: A cord Of wood
which weighs 1000 pounds will yield
about 1850 pounds of pyroligneous acid
and 700 pounds of charcoal; the acid
will produce about 9 gallons of SO per
cent crude wood alcohol, about 25 gal
Ions of tar and fully 200 pounds of ace
tate of lime. These facts indicate fu-
ture for wood outside of the realm of
fuel and pulp.-New York Times.

Every woman has her own theory
Of how the homework should be done,
but it is not always necessary to insist
upon having it done in her way provid-
ed it is done satisfactorily in another

awkward at doing things in new way
she is probably upbraided and told that

Bridget is quick tempered, she may re-

"But Bridget is the one to be pitied.
She is confronted by the more difficult

asking their support, had done every
thing possible to defeat it. It was fine

At Home Again.

II defy any man to stay away from
his native town so long that on his ne
turn there will be nothing left to- ne
mind him of the old days. said a sue
cessful western man, who had just paid
visit to his birthplace, a little village
Of northern New Hampshire. .....
"When saw Trowbur after lapse
OF 40 years, it seemed to me there was
not single thing which had remained
unchanged. The town has become a
place of mills and industry; all its old
sleepy charm is gone. My old schoolfel-
lows arc gray headed, sober men, and
the men of 40 years ago are either tot,
Gering with age or at rest in the grave
yard.
"When l saw my old ch1ms, 'Bounc-
ing Bob'-so named from his prodigious
weight-and Slab Peters, whose name
was also the result of natures allot-
ment of flesh, my heart sank, for Bounc-
ing Bob is lank and hOny, while Slab
Peters would require two seats in a
street car.
Doubling Phipps. who used to mis-
trust all statements whether as to the
shape of the globe or the price of pea
nuts, was told lived ON farm so far
away that he seldom came to town.
"The night before Icame away was
telling couple of young men at the
postcifice something about my wheat
farm, in answer to their questions.
Il had just made a statement in re-
gard to the number of bushels yielded
the year before, when was startled by
a drawing voice behind me, proceeding
from man who had entered the store
while my back was turned.
Sounds very fine, said the voice,
but mistrust it can't be true
"The two young men turned with in
tolerant haste to confront the newcomer,
but I wheeled around with q sudden
feeling of warmth at my heart.
"'You are Doubling Phipps, know!'
cried, holding out both hands, and I
was not mistaken. We talked for an
hour, and at the end of that time felt
that Trowbury was still Trowbury. -
