IN LOVE WITH HIS GOODS.
Rnre China Wins the Heart of the
Dealer and lie Hates to Part
with II.

There are dealers who are themselves
most excellent judges. One such man,
possessing objects that are infinitely de-
sirable in almost all the branches of
art, is perennially poor, because he
hates to sell you anything for which he
can cor scientiously charge a decent
price Great people visit his shop
continually, and he might ask what he
liked and be sure of getting it, lie
has been known, however when he has
received warnings Of an impendingvisit,
to hide the very objects which he knows
the coming connoisseur would surely
buy II he should see them.
Once upon a time (and this is no
fairy talei) he had an unlimited COM
mission TO buy choice pieces Of Nankin
for a wealthy collector. lie bought a
few pieces, and took his commission,
albeit he loe.hed himself for so doing.
Then he heard privately that small
but exquisite collection was in the
market. lie went straight 10 his en-
ployer and impaired the fact to him;
then he resigned his commission. The
employer thinks him mad to this day.
! The truth was that he could not endure
the thought of buying so lovely a collec-
ton and handing it over 20 another,
even though he would have taken a
| handsome reward for so doing, and
could never have afforded TO pur-
chase it for himself The only way
in which one may deal protiiably with
him is by acquiring a knowledge and
an enthusiasm equal TO his own. Then
he win part with all that is best among
i his ssessions-things that the or
binary wealthy customer is never even
allowed to see; and you afterward sus
pect that he has sold them to you with
out the smallest proft.-Chambers

REAL ANTIQUE OAK.
bne That Is Seven Thousand Years
Ola WINS Buried Under
Chicago.

White oak logs that have been buried
under the site Of Chicago for 1000 years
have just been put to use. Prof. Ossian
Guthrie, the Chicago geologist, who
has studied the local strata and helped
to unearth the remnants of some Of
these prehistoric trees, has just come
into possession Of two toilet brushes,
made from this ancient oak, that have
surprised the manufacturers OF imi-
tation "antique" woods by the wonder
full polish and color Of which the genu-
inc antique oak is capable. Noprecious
woods that have ever been imported
into Chicago are so marvelously beauti-
full as these specimens with which Prof.
Guthrie has just been presented.
Most of these prehistoric logs have
been resurrected from their 7,000-year-
old graves to be divided up among the
museums and universities of the coun-
try. Walnut, willow, beech and most
of the modern native woods have been
dug up under these glacial deposits
and alluvlum of 20 centuries, but the
white oak, the same tree evidently that
fourishes in the parks to-day, has been
preserved best of all.
Some frightful cyclone appears to
have bent and laid low the trees at
first. The iron fiber is bent and twisted
In nearly all Of them at one particular
I spot in the trunk, and II is evident that
/ this was the cause that first buried the
! giant forests under the sands and allu-
vium. Some Of these trunks have been
followed by Prof. Guthrie in the excava-
tions for streets and houses for many
| feet One trunk in Sheffield avenue
was unearthed for 20 feet.
Evidently this forest was the first
growth after the glacial period. 1t lies
close to the glacial clay. and under the
alluyial drift, at a general depth of Il
feet. The cyclone apparently laid the
forest low, and the sand and drift were
blown up from the lake and covered
It. The water formed an air-tight cap
sule about the trunk and kept it from
decaying.
OF late years. however, the surface
4 sewers have drained the water away
from the trunks, and the bark anC
outer layers of wood have gone t,
decay. The iron fiber of the inner woot
is still intact in most of them. however
The wood from which Prof. Guthrie'i
souvenirs are made was dug up neal
the corner Of Calumet avenue and Thir
!, ty-ninth street. where many of tn,
/, trunks have been chopped away il
