chemically treated woods. some Of
whom do not hesitate to allege misrep-
resentation, In one instance going SO
far as to say that the Atkinson report
Is inspired by interest in metal-faced
woodwork. To dispel these criticisms
and insinuations. Mr.. Atkinson, with
his staff of assistants, will be in the
laboratory of the Massachusetts Insti-
tute of Technology next Friday morn
Ing at 10 o'clock, prepared to receive
the duly accredited representative of
any skeptical manufacturer, or other
persons interested, and to prove by
actual tests, In the presence of experts,
all that is said above.
1t Is to be hoped that the manufac-
turers will be on hand and ready to
refute Mr.. Atkinson. He would un-
doubtedly be as glad as they to find
chemical treatment for wood which
would make it truly incombustible, es-
pecially If 1t were of character
adapted to commercial purposes and
not too costly in price. We fancy that
civilization is yearning for such a dis
covery; and it Is proved by the figures
of fire losses and the increasing premi-
ums on insurance that 1t cannot come
into general notice too soon.

THE CARE OF THE NAILS.

A young woman who has been living ir
Paris for year says that no French
manicure who treated her hands used q
cuticle knife about her nails or steel
nail-cleaner. The little orange wood
sticks sharpened to broad point were
used to push back the encroaching cuticle
and to clean the nails after each wash
ing of the hands. In this way the deli
cate enamel OF the nail is not injured, and
the under surface of the nail point Is kept
smooth. The French manicures, too, pol
ish more often with a bit of chamois
rather than a regular polisher. and cut
the nails with a clipper instead of curved
scissors. These clippers come In pairs,
one for cutting the nails of each hand.
Emery boards or a velvet file Is recon-
mended for the little filing needed to
shape the nails. Never cut the cuticle
around the nail, but press back lightly
with the orange-wood stick. Daily brief
care when the nail is soft from the use
of soap and water is all that is needed to
keep the hands In good condition with a
weekly manicuring. Use lemon juice in
stead Of any other acid to remove stains.

STROUDSBUR0,
WOMAN SUFFRAGE.
Childhood Dream Dispelled.

In the days half forgotten she and I,
Barefooted innocents, played together;
We rolled in the dust when the earth
was dry,
And made mud pies in the soggy
weather:
We climbed the trees in the deep old
wood.
And shook the walnuts in rafting
showers;
Picked grapes and plums for our noonday
food,
And thought it heaven that life of ours.
With never a tear to dim our eyes,
With never a cloud to blur our skies.
We talked of the day when we'd "growed
up;"
We'd be man and wife in our cosy cot
tage:
We would sip of bliss from its sweetest
And eat from the same love dish of
pottage.
She'd cook me meals that a god would
eat,
While would hustle for golden shekels,
And then i would gaze in her face SO
sweet
Though terribly spangled with nut
brown freckles-
And our eyes would meet and our souls
would seem
To mingle in loves first childish Dream
AS the years passed ON and we older
grew,
And were chums in the same great CO.
ed. college,
We would try to kindle loves fame anew,
In the resting spells in our search for
knowledge;
But she grew less "chummy," less full of
play,
Into the staid "Paulyne" grew the SIM
pie Polly,
And she read on her graduation day
thoughtful essay upon the folly
OF girls assuming the role of wife
Instead of a nobler sphere in life.
I meet her now on the busy street
OF the capital Colorado city,
A cold, proud dame, with the face once
sweet
Now hardened by politics. oh, the pity!
The light of affection never plays
In the eyes that l used to think SO cum
ming,
But with hatred they seem to fairly blaze
When they meet with mine, for we now
are running
For the same fat office, she and T,
And we never speak as we pass by.

deficient in number" In explanation of
this state of affairs there are two general
hypothesis. The first is based upon the
general facts bearing upon ventilation,
and the second upon those of atmospheric
electricity The first would only be ap-
plcable to the conditions of large cities,
while the second would be valid for any
spot on the earth's surface, If the nor
NAL proportions of oxygen are to be
maintained in the immediate vicinity OF
great combustion of oxygen, fresh air
must by some means be brought in TO
take the place of that the normal mix
ture of which has been disturbed, We
are quite familiar with these facts in
their bearing upon the ventilation of
buildings. but there Is no difference ex-
cept that of magnitude between build
ing in which the air is being robbed of its
oxygen through combustion and a city
in which the same process is going on

THE WEATHER AND MORALS.

Wind and storm have great and di-
rect influence upon morals, says Profess
sor Dexter of the University of Illinois,
in the Popular Science Monthly lie has
carefully tabulated long series of eN-
periments, and finds that when the wind
does not blow harder than four miles an
hour children stay at home from school
in three times as great numbers, more
policemen are off duty, more errors are
made by bank clerks. and more people
die. He discovers also that women and
children are more susceptible to storm
and calm than men, and that fewer seri-
Gus crimes are committed during calm
days, and he interprets his statistics in
this way: During calms," he says
"those life phenomena which are due to
depleted vitality are excessive, and those
which are due to excessive vitality are

A NEW FIELD FOR YOUNG MEN.

There appears to be a new field open
Ing up for ambitious young men. 1t is the
field of Scientific forestry-one of the
most important matters OF the day. The
young forester has prospects of salary
that equals that of the average college
professor. To men of mental and physi-
cal yigor who delight In nature and out
door life, this would seem to be a con-
genial and lucrative occupation. In for
ested states. the abandoned stump lands
need scientific attention.-Success.

chemical science in treat
ing wood so as to make it powerful to
resist fire or heat, Those who credit
this are likely to have their confidence
shaken by a report lately made public
by the director of the insurance en-
gineering experiment station at Bos-
ton. Edward Atkinson. Mr.. Atkinson
obtained from six manufacturers SAM
pies of wood represented to be abso-
lutely incombustible. He subjected
these to every test that he could apply;
also to tests established by the Navy
department, and in certain instances to
special tests suggested by the manu-
facturers, with this result:
1--WE are now prepared to report that
such wood Is not fireproof; that 1t may
be readily ignited; that il is less in
hammable than untreated wood of the
same kind. but that when it has been
subjected to heat of one thousand de-
grees Fahrenheit, which Is very much
lower than the temperature usually
generated from the combustion of the
contents of very many buildings, the
chemical substances are very quickly
distilled, the wood then iglites and
burns, making hot fire until the
4erial Is consumed, adding unques-
ably to the heat generated by the
vbustion of the contents of the build

failed to satisfy the manufacturers Of

ONE figures read in the Brit
~ ish house of commons the
~ other day possess significance.
They indicate that immigra
ton into the Canadian northwest from
the United States is growing amazing
ly. Within four years they have risen
from 1900 to $4,000 annually, and at
the present time there is a literal rush
of farm seekers to get from the Yankee
over into the Canadian side of the
Manitoba-Dakota border 1t is esti-
mated by the Chicago Tribune, which
has been at some pains to look into
this matter, that $4,000 acres of Cam
adian lands are sold to Americans
every day. That journal truly says
that "if sales are kept up at this rate
and the lands purchased are brought
under cultivation it will not be long
before Canada will be raising 25OOOOOOO
bushels Of wheat year instead of the
S0,000,00O raised now.'
The fact of interest about, this mi
grafton is that it is bound to increase
the feeling on both sides of the bor-
der in favor, first, of reciprocity and,
later, of annexation. At the present
time Canada is dominated by Ontario
and Quebec, corresponding, one might
almost say, to the political dominance
once exercised in the United States by
New England and New York, possibly
including New Jersey. In other words,
it is an eastern dominance, a domin-
ance partly of numbers but also in part
of age and tradition. 1t will pass
away. The sceptre Of empire will pass
westward, as it is passing in our coun-
try. The great grain fields of the Can
adian northwest have before them a
destiny similar to that through which
Minnesota and the Dakotas have re-
Gently passed, and the same class of
people who have builded our empire
west Of the Mississippi will, in the next
generation, participate in another great
epic of empire building beyond the Red
River of the North and the Assiniboin.
But it will be American in sympathy |
and not British. 1t will have its ante
cedents in the States and not in far |
away France or Albion. Consciously |
or unconscously it will draw toward |
the demolition or reduction of artificial |
trade barriers, and we hope and be- |
lieve will not always have to look in |
vain. Next, it will desire amalgama-
tion, full fellowship in the big labors |
and rewards in store for the Ameri- |
can people in the days of the repub-
lies maturity.
1t is unfortunate that Canada should |
be SO far in the rear of modern condi-
tons, of what may we'll be called the |
modern atmosphere She will have to
be pulled up by the main strength |
largely of her western settlers. That |
will take time and delay manifest des-
tiny. But in our view Of the case it
will not alter that destiny.

OF Human Nafdre
Saved His Life by Repartee.

A Pontiac roofer saved his life recently
by his aptness at repartee. He was out
on the roof of an insane asylum at Ponti-
ac. making some repairs, within a foot
of the caves Suddenly the noise of his
hammer was interrupted by voice be-
hind him, calmly saying:
We'll, come on! Let's jump down to-
gether!'
The roofer turned and saw maniac
standing behind him. The glitter in the
madman's eye made the roofer look with
a feeling cf dread at the ground below,
realizing that there was no escape.
The roofer concealed his fright mo-
ment. He even smiled contemptuously
as he looked into the maniac's face.
"Huh!" he remarked. "any blamed
fool could jump down. But let's go down
and try to jump up"
"Say, that's an idea," exclaimed the
insane man. Come on. Let's go down
and try it." And he led the way to the
trapdoor in the roof.-Detroit Journal.

Polite Persistence Won.

A prominent life insurance manager
tells the following story illustrative of the
persistency and unwavering courage of
one of his agents, The latter was an ex-
ceptional type of the pushing, affable and
loquacious interviewer, and he had
marked for his victim prosperous mer-
chant whom he considered to be par
ticularly eligible and desirable subject for
insurance. In season and out of season,
in sickness and health he had sought in
teryiews, but was defeated at every turn.
Finally, he having selected most in
opportune time for n call, the merchant,
thoroughly worn out, ordered the agent
In unmstakable language to leave his
premises. AS the man did not heed the
request promptly he was incontnently
thrown out on the hall floor. Pulling
himself together and regaining his feet,
with his equanimity and complacency un-
disturbed. he brushed the dust from his
clothes smiled blandly upon his antagon-
list and said with irresistible good nature.
Now, Mr. -, all Jokes aside, will you
not let me write you some insurance?"
The merchant surrendered and the So
licitor left with an application fer big
policy.-Philadelphia Times.
