BLACK WALNUT.
Mood That Has Become Too Valuable
to be Used, as Once, for Fence Rails.

The best black walnut in the United
States is found in Indiana. Forty
years ago there could be found in this
State a crop of black walnut unequal
led in quantity and quality. Today it
is not to be found in such immense
trees. Neither Is the number of trees
by any means so numerous. Years
ago the largest and best trees were
used for fence rails and such common
purposes. At that time it had no par
ticular commercial value. Before wal
nut came into general use, the most
of domestic furniture was OF cherry.
Walnut has now entirely superseded
this and all other woods. Fence rails
can be found today through Indiana
that were split more than half CEN
tury ago, and they are as sound now
as then, save the wear and tear. VI
all hard woods the walnut is most dur
able, save red cedar, and possibly IN
the ground, black locust would equai
it,
Our walnut is comparatively gone.
In isolated parts of the country, where
this timber grows, there Is yet some
of inferior quality, but to limited ex.
tent. But the general black walnut
growing in the deep forest, in the rich
lowlands, in it's primitive nature, is
thing of the past. The general sup
ply must now be gathered from the
four quarters Of the earth to supply a
demand that requires century for its
elimination witnesses the astounding
spectacle of the almost entire extiac-
tion of the valuable material.
Kentucky has quite good stock of
black walnut, and much that Is very in
ferior on account Of its grey color and
tough, hard texture. Missouri also
has some of rather an inferior quality.
Western Ohio and West Virginia is
poor in quality
The whole stock of the states is not
equal to a full demand for ten years
to come. Furniture manufacturers
do not now use it as lavishly as they
did five years ago. Other woods are
substituted when possible. and 1000
feet of walnut are made to so as far
again as it did q few years ago.
Chicago uses annually in her differ
ent branches of manufacture, such as
house, school and office furniture, also
in finishing material. doors, mouldings,
counters. &c.. 14.5O0.oO0 feet. Prob
ably about half of this is bought at
the mills, and does not so into the ac-
count of the dealers at ALL Many Of
the largest manufacturers direct, or
have mills or an interest in, mills in
the walnut district.-Tcrre Haute
Gazette.

Cleaning q Floor.

Genuine skill can be exercised in
cleaning a floor as in anything else. Af-
ter the rugs and carpets have been
taken up floor that is not finished in
any other way should be thoroughly
scrubbed and dried before it is cover
ed again. 1t is economy 10 lay down
floors Of matched boards of good sea-
soned wood, which will not warp and
show the cracks. After the carpet is
up and the dust has been thoroughly
swept up and has settled, scrub the
wood with warm water and sal soda,
cleaning and scru5bing about square
yard of surface at time. 1t pays TO
have two pals, one of soda and water
to scrub the floor with, and Gne of
clear hot water to rinse it up with.
Use two cloths, one to wipe up the
floor and tie other to dry with. When
the floor is scrubbed wash and dry
these cloths before you use them for
another cleaning. If the floor is hard
wood it would better be dressed by a
regular fnisher, as there are few maids
in this country VINO are willing or in
telligent enough to do this work,
though this is the regular part Of the
maids work abroad, and the tools fur
nished in this country for the purpose
are much easier to handle than those
used in Europe. New York Tribune.

"No Dogs at Large"

The board of agriculture draws at
tention to the fact that the landing in
Great Britain of dogs brought from any
country except Ireland, the Channel
Islands, and the Isle of Man will be
subject to Article of the Importa-
ton of Dogs Order of 1901, which ex-
pressly provides that every imported
dog must be detained and isolated for
six months upon premises in tine oc-
cupation or under the control of a
veterinary surgeon, which shall have
been previously approved in writing
by the board for that purpose. This
does not apply in the case of an i'm
ported dog which is intended to be ex-
ported from Great Britain within
forty-eight hours.-London Globe.

In Place of Tiles,

Cream colored calcimine, resembling
enamel, is now much preferred to tiles
for perfectly appointed kitchens. This
does not discolor like tiles or drop out,
nor have interstices to collect dirt as
tiles do. One lucky chef, with kit
chen of calcimine, white enameled
woodwork and fixtures in keeping, as
serted that he could stand in the mid
die OF the kitchen and thoroughly
cleanse 1t with strong stream from a
hose without harming single thing.

While stretched upon the sands one day
Beside lake, whose waters shone
AS bright as my mirror on
My lady's cbilfonier, in play
Itossed therein stone. 1t made
A ripping circle, one that grew
Yards wider as tho seconds flew,
Until it kissed the shore. A maid
Who sat near by gave me glance,
Awakening into life wave.
Whose impulse could not deter,
And SO love conquered. Sweet romance,
Beginning then made me thy slave,
Yea. rather Loves idolator.
