It's freshness as stale, and not old. The
girl was sure TO remember this, for
she was quick to learn, and she did.
So the young wife knew when few

First Ana1ysi. of Aerolites.

In 1796 a stone weighing fifty-six
pounds was exhibited i'm London. 1t
was said to have fallen from the sky
In Yorkshire In the previous December,
but this statement was received with
great incredulity. At that time Sir Jo-
seph Banks was president of the Royal
society, and he noticed a strong re-
semblance between the Yorkshire stone
and one sent to him from Siena, In It
ally, which was said to have fallen
from the sky. Two or three years lat
er he received an account of fall of
stones near Benares, in Hindustan. A
chemical analysis Of the stones from
all three sources proved them to be
Identical in composition, and increduli-
ty as to their meteoric origin began
to give way.-Notes and Queries.

TEA ROOT CARVINGS,
Fantastic Wooden Objects That Are
Fashioned In the Orient.

Fantastic wooden Objects That Are
Fashioned In the Orient.
The fantastic wooden objects which
s te iFS thf fnG Rave long been the
basis Of prosperous industry in the
populous city of Fuchau. Strictly
speaking, the name is misnomer.
Some Of the carvings are made from
old tea roots and tea trunks, but the
vast majority, nine-tenths at least, are
made from the roots and trunks of
hardwood trees.
The carvings are almost invariably
made in two parts, pedestal and one
or more human figures fitted to the lat
ter by pegs and holes. The former is
made from root and the latter from a
trunk. The roots are selected with con-
siderable care. They must be compara-
lively free from dry rot, decay and
worm holes and must possess a rude
symmetry. They are cleaned, scrub
bed and scrapcd and sawed to about
the desired size; then the artist with
chiScl, gouSc, knife and pinchers re-
moves rootlets and roots until the az
ure is completed.
The simplest design rs three legged
pedestal, Of which the base is q rough
cylinder Of wens and knobs. Any num-
Der of legs may be used. A curious
specimen seen by the writer in the
Grand hotel, Yokohama, has fifty legs,
while the body has been so treated as
to suggest horny centipcd. A second
type OF PEDESTAL is the mushroom. A
third type is an animal form, such as
the buffalo, tiger, unicorn, elephant or
dragon.
Nearly always the chisel is guided by
humor or satire. If it be saint who.
Is depicted, the look of picty or suffer
ing is replaced by q leer or drunken
grimacc; if it be warrior, every limb
and muscle is nodded so as to suggest
decrcpitude or a desire to run away.
Quang ri, the lnvincible soldier
prince, is frequently portrayed stand
