total family income is below 21s. Sd. per

If the income is below the poverty line, no

financial point of view II Is folly to employ

What Is Bird's-Eye MapleP

From the Scientific American.
What Is bird s-eye maple?' That Is a
question which just now seems to be baf-
fling not only people who use furniture
made of this particular wood, but even
woodworkers themselves. In recent num-
Der of woodworking magazine an article
was published which stated that bird's-eye
maple was not a peculiar maple. but SIM
ply ordinary maple cut In certain way In
recent issue of the New York Sun that
statement Is refuted. 1t Is there stated on
the authority Of a woodworker, that BIRDS
eye maple and curly maple are both cut
only from the logs of the rock maple tree,
Acer saccharnum, In which a beautiful lus-
trous grain is produced by the sinuous
course of the fbers. This tree Is not at all
the common hard maple. 1t is hard maple,
but 1t is full of little gnarls called eyes
Men looking for bird s-eye maple logs go
through the standing timber and pick out
the brd's-eye maple trees paying for them
from $50 to $50 a Thousand feet in the
woods. Ordinary hard maple logs are worth
only from SO to 81 a thousand feet. 1t would
be impossible to cut piece of veneer with
eyes IN it from a common hard maple log,
and 1t would be equally impossible to cut a
bird s-eye maple log. no matter how you
cut 1t. so that II would not show the eyes.

them do not contain snake fangs. yet fangs
are believed to add much to the power
which a possessor of one of these strange
things may get from it. These bags
are generally very small sometimes small
bottle with cloth covering being used for
the purpose. They are filled with all sorts
of things. The contents Of the urn used by
the witches of Dunsinane in the story Of
Macbeth are nothing in comparison with
the mysterious hodgepodge to be found in
the 'hoodoo bag And the negro who prac-
tees hoodooism Is looked upon as having
more power. when it comes to the material
benefits, than any set of witches ever pos
sessed. so far as the negroes who believe
in such things are concerned. They are
supposed to be great gold finders, and hard
working, Industrious negroes have been
known to give up big part Of their
salary while under the influence of the
man with the 'hoodoo bag. Not infre-
quently the police have been forced to in
terfere on account of the robbery of ne
groes In this way. But snake fangs do not
command much of a price now, because
voudooism has been on the decline, and
negroes who believe in the potency for good
or bad of the 'hoodoo bag have been, for
tunately. on the decrease Still, a suffl-
cient number of the credulous remain to en-
able few shrewd negroes to make liv-
ing without working.

Fast Railroad Travel.
From the Brooklyn Times.


A Paris writer claims for France the
fastest railroad trains In the world. He
says that the Northern railroad has a spe-
cial between Paris and Amiens doing
eighty-one and three-quarters miles in sew
enty-seven minutes, giving an average
speed Of sixty-three and one-half miles an
hour. and on the same route by other
trains 1t registers speeds of sixty-one and
one-hah miles an hour, maintained for 100
miles, and 1913 and ffty-eight miles an
hour for distances exceeding 100 miles at a
stretch. The fact comes into immediate
contrast with the deplorable attempts Of
the English lines having boat trains In con-
nectfon with the channel steamers. The
Southeastern and Chatham railroad this
year has conspicuously failed to approach
its own record of last year-cne hour and
forty-pne minutes from London to Dover
pier, which works out at something under
forty-flve miles an hour for the seventy-f1ve
and one-half miles, Even with this liberal
time allowance the English trains are never
to time, but the French are invariably. A
record is claimed 1 ma recent run of the
mail express from Boulogne to Paris. Owing
to the late arrival Of the boat from Folk
stone the train was forty minutes late
in leaving Boulogne, but the engine driver
made up time, and got to Paris punctually
to the minute. His average speed for this
run is said to have worked out at sixty
eight miles per hour. The distance is about
100 miles. .,-----
