with no idea of anything more than a va

remain that he concluded to make that
place his home. 1t was at this time that
he realized he might do something toward
educating the girls in the neighborhood
and in 1879 he established Mortified Semi
nary, fixing the rate for tuition and board
at 500 year. and following somewhat the
plan of Mr.. Durant at Wellesley, with
whose work he was familiar. Never in his
fUndest dreams did he imagine that there

Personal Contributions.
In starting these schools he knew that 1t
would cost to run them at least 500 more
per pupil than he received. What he has
himself done to support the schools can be
best understood by his own story of the
publication of Gospel Hymns. When he
and Mr., Sankey were conducting services
in England many persons after each meet
ing asked Mir. Sankey for copies of the
hymns he had sung. He had not the copies
to give. Finally, the demand for the hymns
became great that they We're offered to
several publishers but no one thought
there was sufficient profit in sight to JUS
tify printing them. Mr.. Moody had in his
pocket just $3.50 and with this sum he had
the first collection of Gospel Hymns print
ed. The profits to Mr.. Moody and Mr. San
key to the extent of a million and half of
dollars from these hymns have gone to
support these schools.
While he gave literally himself others

work. On his sixticth birthday, in the
spring of 1897, he was at Mount Hermon

THE BEDSTEAD.
A Brief History of Its Evolution In
Great Britain.
From she New York Tines.

From she New York Tines.
The late Lawson TAFT was man of many
parts. and If he could not WELD the pen so
skillfully as the knife, at any rate as a
writer he was by no means to be despised.
Perhaps the last article contributed by him
was on the Hygiene of the Bed Room and
Bedstead." 1t traces almost lovingly anu
in language picturesquely descriptive the
evolution of the bed room and of that now
necessary article of furniture in Great Brit
ain, the bedstead itself. Ii tells US that in
the days of the cave dwellers, and through
the various stages of savage and nomad
life the dwelling space was used for all
purposes in common, and that it was not
until the wandering hunter had, so to
speak, settled down that he saw the adj
vantage of setting aside a portion of his
dwelling for sleeping purposes.
After a brief reference to the times of
the Briton in Britain, the story brings US
To the Norman era IN that country and
shows US that the NOrman-albeit his cas-
tie might be grim and forbdding outwardly
yet had a very fair notion of what consti-
tutes a comfortable bed room and bed
stead, as well as more than rudimentary
ideas on effective hygiene. The walls of
their castles were thick and solid, thus Sc
curing a fair uniformity of temperature
while the downfall of cold air was moultied
by the hangings of tapestry. For their
bedsteads there was no need of hangings.
contrary, had perforce to live under very
different conditions. His houses were of
wood, and as he was no adept at carpenter
Ing the doors and windows were ill-fitting
and draughtS We're in consequence the rule
rather than the exception. Hence was
evolved that abomination of denominations
the four-poster bed, or, as Lawson TAFT
preferred to put it, "A small apartment
was constructed inside the bed room in the
shape OF huge four-poster hung around
with curtains, into which whole family
must nave crowded, possibly with the addi-
ton of occasional visitors 1t is shown
how strenuously the conservative Britisher
chung to his time-honored four-poster until
the fifues when, as TAFT satrically said
the dawn of domestic sanitation as We
know it occurred, and was not fully appre-
ciated till well on in the seventies
A pathetic picture is drawn of the trials
attending the unwary visitor to London
even in the seventies, when ii was the rule
to have vermtn in all bedsteads used Inv
the public, and bugs were made the sub
1ect of chronic jokes in all humorous writ
tngs and pantomimes. The story goes nm
TO tell that the first step in the right direc-
ton was the Introduction of metallic he'd
steads, and TAFT related that he ren,en
bered very well the Juror of fndignation
with which they were meteor nothinp on

Some persons string cranberries on the
trees. They serve to give variety to the
tree. Walnut shells from which the goodies
have been removed are often strung to-
gether in pairs, stuffed with cotton and
used as boxes in which to place small gifts,
as for instance, rings and scarfpns, when
such are hung upon the tree. The shells
are covered with tinsel paper and look like
gold or silver balls.
The box at the base of the trunk may be
covered with moss or with cotton and tin
sci threads to make it look like snow. The
larger gifts are usually grouped there, for

Recent Official action OF the American

Purposes-Fine Sawdusts Exported.

The Fine Dusts Used For Various Speclal
Purposes-Fine sawdusts Exported.
The fine sawdust of hard woods,
that which is produced in saving
veneers, is used for a variety OF
special purposes; fine mahogany saw
dust, for instance, being extensively
used in cleaning furs. There are
sold fifteen or twenty different varie-
ties of fine sawdust from as many diff.
ferent kinds of hard woods, those be.
ing gathered from the various mills.
While fine mahogany is the sawdlst
most largely used in cleaning furs,
various other kinds are also employed
for that purpose. The use of box
wood sawdust for cleaning iewelry is
traditional. Boxwood sawdust is also
used in polishing silver. Some saw
dusts are used in marquetry work.
Some are used in making pressed
mouldings and ornaments. Sandal
wood sawdust is used in scent bags.
y The production of coarse sawdust
OF various hard woods, such as oak
and maple, is greater than the de-
mand for them; such sawdusts may
be burned in the mills where they are
produced. Coarse mahogany sawdust
may be sold for commonplace uses, or
employed as fuel where it is made;
but for the fine sawdusts of all the
hard woods there is more or less de-
mand; for many of them there is o
ready market. The most costly of
fine hardwood sawdust is lockwood,
of which the supply is less than the
demand.
Fine hardwood sawdusts are shipped
from this city to various parts of the
United States; they are exported in
considerable quantities to Canada and
some are sent to England.-Sun.
