the roots, all conspire 10 make this
the most choice and high-prieed OF
all our native woods, says the Berea
Quarterly,
twenty-five years ago walnut
was extensively used in the manu-
facture Of fine furniture and finish
ings IN this country, but manufae-
turers adfoitiy drew attention to
the beauty Of darkly-stained quar-
tered oak and the use Of the rarer
wood has greatly declined. But all
this time the search for fine black
walnut logs has gone on systemat-
ically, though quietly, the trade at
tracing little attention, though the
volume Of lumber handled has been
large. Though found to someextent
in the Atlantic states from Mass
achusetts southward, the great
sonrce Of supply has been the cen
trail portion Of the Mississippi val
ley. The walnut IS at home in the
rich alluvial bottom lands of the
western streams and in the stony
limestone soils of the hills and
mountains and in such localities
the BUYERS have left few trees
msuryeyed. Throughout eastern
Kansas, Missouri and Arkansas, as
we'll as the states along the Ohio
and its tributaries, may be seen a
few logs at this little station, a car
or two at that, with carefully hewn
sides and painted ends, ready Tor
the market.
II you ask where the market is
YOU will find that the great bulk Of
this rare lumber goes to Europe.
While we have been led into an
enthusiastic admiration for fine
oak, ASHAMED according to the
degree of antiquity it is supposed
to represent, our European cousins
have been paying fancy princes for
the rich black walnut that we have
allowed to go out Of fashion. .

Tablecloths usually wear out at
the folds before they begin to show
signs of wear generally. The folds
are not always made in exactly the
same place, even by the same
laundress; but they usually are,
and the center fold always must
come in the same place It is a
good plan after a time to cut a
small piece off one side and one
end of the cloth, for this insures
all the new folds. being in new plac-
es in the future, thus giving the
whole cloth a fresh start. Such lit
tie devices do not take longto carry
out, and are a great economy in the
household.

A Reliable Daily paper.

The Pittsburg Times is the only
daily newspaper in that city which
does not have a Sunday edition. The
Times puts all its energies and money
into publishing the best newspaper
there six days out Of the week. Its

name idea that men and newspapers
should have one days rest IN seven.
The Times shows the results Of this
in sending out vigorous paper. Ac-
curacy and brevity are its watchwords.
It's editorial page is the work Of sever
al specialists and is one that COM
mends itself in its discussion of cur
rent topics to the children of the
public schools, as we'll as their faith
ers, mothers, teachers and all who
read and think. la politics its policy
is Republican, giving ali the news of
all parties as we'll. its theatrical
review is critical review. The box
Office has no influence over it, People
have become accustomed to read
what the Times says of plays more
than the same Departmental all other
Pittsburg papers combined. The
Times criticises when the criticism,
is Of benefit to its readers, whether it
happens TO benefit the theatrical man
ager or not. The sporting page is in
charge of an expert, and cream, not
blne milk, Is served in its columns.
The Times also pays particular atten-
tion to church matters, and its
church news is at once reliable and
general. Its special correspondents
everywhere keep its pages day by day

DOWN ON CIGARETTES.
Educators Hop ON Thier Use Severely.

The cigarette evil, as the use OF these
vile tobacco compounds has become
generally recognized to be was the sub
ject of a lengthy discussion at the Mon
ongahela Valley Round Table meeting
in this city says the Grafton Sentinel.
The cigarette is ueinR recognized by
the teachers in our schools as the
greatest foe to education that they
haye TO contend With. Snperintend-
ent Fleming, of the Grafton public
schools, attributed TO cigarette smok-
ing the cause OF the failure of large
number Of boys TO make grade in
their final examinations at tue close
OF the school last year to entitle them
to a promotion, As result many
drop out Of school because Of their
failure on examination day, and dis
like for study on account of dulled
mental powers resulting from this
abominable habit that is doing SO
much to ruin the rising generation
and filing the country with vicious
mental dwarfs. At was the testimony
Of teachers from the schools Of other
towns that the same unhappy state
of affairs exists in their schools, and
that il was the most serious matter
now confronting those in charge of the
public school. Tue Legislature should
give this growing evil the attention its
Importance demands, and such legis-
lation should be enacted as would
minimize to the lowest possible degree
the alarming results TO the boys and
youths of our country who have allow
ed themselves to become enslaved to
this terrible habit which is today, in
the opinion Of many high authorities,
doing more harm to the rising genera
ton than the incorporate use of al
coholic drinks.
