Vanishing Wood.

When vanishing wood the work
must be done in warm room at
temperature of at least IS degrees Fab
renheit. At lower temperature the
moisture in the air will give the var
nish a milky and cloudy appearance.
At the higher temperature on the
other hand the moisture is not precipi-
tated until the alcohol of the varnish
has sufficiently evaporated to leave a
thin and smooth film of shellac The
gloss and durability of the varnish
are entirely dependent upon this. Wa
ter should never be applied to var
nished furniture, but oil should be
used in all attempts at cleaning. Kero-
sene oil may be put to good account in
cleaning unvarnished woods, but. like
water, it should be avoided with var
nish.

Fire Among the RedwoOds.

Perhaps the most startling pheno-
menon of the fire was the quick death
of childlike Sequoias only century
or two ago, says Jonn Muir
in the Atlantic. In the midst
of the other comparatively slow
and steady fire-work, one of
these tall beautiful saplings, leafy
and branchy, would be seen blazing
up suddenly all in one heaving. boom
ing, passionate flame reaching from
the ground to the top of the tree, and
fifty to a hundred feet or more above
it, with smoke column bending for
ward and streaming away on the up
per free-fiowing wind. To burn these
green trees q strong fire of dry wood
beneath them is required to send up
a current of air not enough to distill
inflammable gases from the leaves
and sprays; then, instead of the lower
limbs gradually catching fire and ig-
hitting the next and next in succession,
the whole tree seems to explode al
most simultaneously, and with awful
roaring and throbbing round taper
ing flame shoots up two or three hun
dred feet, and in a second or two
is quenched, leaving the green spire
black dead mast bristled and rough
ened with iown-curling boughs.

The Chinese Enpcror's Talisrnan.

No Chinese potentate has ever been
without his precious amulet. 1t is
recorded of former ''son of heaven
that his talisman was bracelet which
he wore upon his forearm.
The result was that when his celes-
tial majesty was stricken with
paralysis. the use of that particular
arm was preserved to him and he was
able to issue his decrees as usual.
But the full extent of the amulet's
mystic power was only revealed at the
Emperor's death.
Three days after that event, when
the priests were viewing the body, the
removal of the bracelet was suggested.
Instantly the hand was lifted up in
depreciation of the proposal. which was
thereupon abandoned. At least, so
runs the story.

Ereak East Cream Cakes.

These delicious little cakes are of
such fairy like lightness and so deli
cious that it is difficult to realize that
they are so simple in the materials
used. 1t is difficult for tyro in cook
ing, who has never seen them served
with the accompaniment of fragrant
coffee, to realize how excellent these
cakes may be.
Take a cup of sour cream, which is
well loppered but not old enough to
have any suspicion of mould about it;
stir in a scant half teaspoonful of
soda, or just enough to make the cream
sweet to the taste; add little salt and
enough sifted flour to make a dough
as stiff as pie crust. Roll the cream
cakes out as thin as pie crust and cut
the crust into long oblong strips about
an inch and half wide by three inches
long. Bake the cakes in hot oven
until they are rich brown. They
should be baked quickly, like a pie
crust. and like pie crust they will
increase many times in size. This rule
gives an excellent crust for a chicken
or game pie.

PeIting Brides With Flowers.

The custom of showering bridal cou-
plies with rice is as old as the monu-
mental hills. 1t Is sometimes attend
ed with disagreeable results, but is
still persisted in at most matrimonial
functions. An improvement upon this
custom which seems likely and ought
to become popular was observed at a
pretty wedding celebrated at Lake
Geneva, Wis, just before the close of
the outing season. The piaZZas and
lawns of the brides home were beau
tifully decorated with hydrangeas,
which the extensive gardens furnished
in unusual profusion. The altar ar
ranged at one end of the parlor was
beautifully decorated and powered
with the same blooms. mingled with
ferns and evergreens. Bunches OF the
blossoms stood in large jars and vases
In the spacious hall and banked the
great fireplace. When the newly we'd
ded pair started away in the late af-
ternoon the guests lined the way from
the house to the entrance gate of the
grounds, every one provided with
hygrandeas, and through this lane of
pelting flowers the bridal carriage was
driven. 1t was a poetic and pictur-
esque change from the usual rice
shower.-Chicago Record Herald

st. Jacobs Oil For Chest-Colds, Bron
chitis, Group, and Pleurisy.

An outward application for bronchial diff
culties is many times far more effective than
syrups, cough mixture, cod liver oil, &c,
simply because it penetrates through to the
direct cause, which is, as a rule, an accumula-
ton of matter or growth tightly adhered to
the bronchial tubes.
st. Jacobs Oil, possessing as it does those
wonderful penetrating powers, enables it to
loosen these adhesions and to induce free ex-
pectoration. Cases have been known where
expectorations have been examined after st.
Jacobs Oil has been applied, and the exact
formation was clearly shown, where the ad.
hesions had been removed or pulled off the
bronchial tubes. All irritation of the del
icato mucous membrane of the bronche lie

properties of st. Jacobs Oil. In cases of Group

Oil will be found superior to any other.
