Seasoning Lumber by Electricity.

A new process is announced for sea.
soning wood by electrical action. The
timber to be treated is put into II quad
rangular tank of liquid, immersed to
rather more than half its depth and an
electric current applied through met
allie conductor, so arranged as TO dis
tribute 1t throughout the area, and II is
stated that In n space of four minutes
the sap begins to exude at the lower
end of the wood; in six hours II IL aii
extracted. The wood is then placed in
another tank from which n septic solu-
iion is forced into the pores by an cleo
tro-capillary method. If, says the
Builder, this process has successful re-
suits at cost which will not be com
mcrcially prohibitory, 1t may prove of
great importance.

All the French papers are caught by the
fact that the five American commission

rived In Paris the Madrid papers spread
throughout Europe the report that Its
members were ill-manncred. addressed
and without personal servants-that. In "A
word, they looked like company. OF per

Monson's recent reference to American
diplomats had revived the French phrase,
"shlrt-sleeve diplomacy so that the
comme-il-faut appearance OF the Amer
leans in the final scene of the negotia-
tons made quite an impression on the
public mind. The explanation is found In
the simple fact that the commissioners
had dressed, not for the signing of the
treaty. but for n dinner party to which
they were invited for the same evening,
but that humdrum circumstance thus far
has escaped the Parislan newspapers.

Of perhaps seventy. with a light.

by her side was Madeline Blackwood.
niece to the old lady. and q pretty,
mild-looking girl. whose years did not
exceed nineteen, whose face bore the
impression Of loving, tender-hearted
girl, innocent and trusting In her ma

Yes, dear Madeline. / made my will

"and have made you my heiress.
Madeline"
"oh. aunt, you overpower me with
your kindness" Madeline answers, in
a pleasant voice.
Don't thank me, darling; I only do

years ago your father died. and I took
you here to my house. l have never

and Miss Blackwood laughed. "and
have no one on earth to whom could
bequeath my wealth, l have selected
you as my future heiress."
The young girls face betrayed no
surprise. but light flush overspread

Tho Creation of oliver Twist.

Tho true story of the origin OF oliver
Twist is not generally known. After
the amazing success OF "Plckwick Pa
pors." Dickens happened to visit tho
study OF George cruikshanks and was
shown some drawings the latter had
made. illustrating the career OF n Lon
don thief. Tserc was sketch OF
Fagins den. with the Artful Dodgor
and Master Charley Bates; pictures OF
Bill Sykes and his dog and Nancy
Sykes, and lastly, Fagin In his cell.
Dickens was much affected by the pow
er OF these character sketches. and
the result was that he changed the
whole plot OF oliver Twist He In
troduced him into the thieves den In
London and showed up their life OF
sin. but brought his hero through un-
dchlcd. Thus George cruikshank. not
Dickens. was the originator OF the
leading characters OF the wonderful
story.

TOO MUCH COTTON RAISED.
Southern Planters Must Turn Their Al

Southern Planters Must Turn Their At
tention to Something Else.
Travellers passing through the South
ern states have their curiosity aroused
by seeing from the car windows large
fields of unpicked cotton going to waste
or being eaten by cattle. 1t IL explain
ed that Il poor crop does not pay for
picking because cotton Is only about
five cents pound In the markets of
New Orleans and Savannah. The season
has been cold and rainy. and 1t has
been difficult to persuade plckers to go
Into the field for wages which the
planters have been able to offer them.
For these reasons thousands of acres
have been abandoned. Some estimate
1t as high ns 30 per cent. of the entire
crop, and the farmers will therefore
suffer large loss for which they will
he compelled to incrense the mortgages
that now cucumber their plantations.
1t does not pay to raise cotton ut five
cents pound except under the most
favorable circumstances Thinking
men argue that there Is no loss without
some gain. as the experience of this
season will drive many planters to raise
other and more profitable crops. Plant
ers' associations have been organized in
all OF the Southern states expressly for
the purpose of limiting cotton culture
and encouraging diversified crops. They
have even gone so far as to ask plant
ers to sign pledges to reduce their acre
age s, 10 and 20 per cent, but habit il
strong. and new crops nccessitate the
education of negroes, which Is more
trouble than the planter cares to lake.
