sion has been secured by musical in.
strument makers, who claim that they
have found a treasure in that the
wood is not only seasoned, but is of a
kind that 1t is almost impossible to
get nowadays. One Of the foremost
violin makers of this country made
the discovery that the joists in the
yellow mansion were of a quality of
spruce wood, now extinct, that is of
rare quality for the rim and back of
violins. He got monopoly on the
old wood, and while the wreckers
were tearing down the house he en-
p1oyed detectives to watch his prize.
Other violin makers soon learned of
the fine quality of the wood, and they
endeavored to get some of it, only to
learn that their alert competitor had
purchased it all. The violin makers
say that the joists are unusually thick
and that the spruce is of the finest
quality that has been found in this
country. They claim that nothing to
equal it for violin making has been
found in America, and that with prop
er skill some high-priced instruments
will be made of it.-Philadelphia Rec

Goddess Of SMALLPOX.

They worship smallpox in western

His audience gave gasp of horror.
But don't misunderstood me. don't
get a wrong IMPRESSION" he resumed.
Il don't mean to say that they love
smallpox and desire it. On the con-
trary, they loathe and fear it. Hence
their worship, worship born of hate
and terror.
''They have goddess of smallpox.
She has a cruel face, two mouths, four
red hands. They pray to her regular
ly. Fresh flowers are always lying at
her feet. A special priest tends her
shrine
"And much time and money are
wasted on this goddess that might bet

named Ham, and the city ticket Of

says an exchange. The two are fast
friends, and if both happen to be out

Eggs are frequent. BY coincidence
both report to an Official whose name
is Bacon, whose chief clerk is named
Brown. Recently Ham and Egg were
both in Bacon's Office. The telephone
rang and Brown answered. He caught
sn inquiry for the Canadian Pacific
Office, and said:
This is it."

voice.

The satisfactory lighting Of subur-.
ban and country homes requires that
the means used shall be convenient.
safe. economical and furnish bill
liant. penetrating, etfulgent light.
Everybody admits that these are
not the characteristics of the candle
or kerosene lamp, which, formerly,
were the only feasible means of pro-
ducing light for domestic use in the
rural districts. . ~
For generations there was crying
need, yearning for something better,
which was not satisfied. A few years
ago deliverance came in the shape of
the chemical compound, Calcium Car
bide, from which, by the simple ap.
plication Of water, the gas Acetylere
is derived. Acetylene meets all the
requirements fully and admirably and
is being generally used. T.,
Common lime and carbon in the
form of coke or coal are the raw ma
terials which, fused In an intensely
heated furnace, make Calcium Car
bide. and there is no difficulty in OBJ
tanning it in any part Of the country.
The machine into which the Cal
cium Carbide Is fed and from which
the Acetylene is distributed through
the building to be lighted, is but little
larger than a thirty-gallon milk can,
and Of the same general form. 1t is
easily and cheaply installed, either in
the cellar or in an out-building.
The light from burning Acetylene
is exquisite, and lighting experts agree
that it surpasses all other known illu-
minants. It does not taint the air nor
strain the eyes and is not objection
able in any respect. Every up-to-date
rural residence should be equipped
with Acetylene light.

SUICIDE AN HONORABLE DEATH.

Strange Belief Among the chukchees
@ Of Siberia. 55,.:5r 81
"A Russian correspondent was talk
:ng about Siberia. ZIP !%ls 5
I'm that strange land" he said, "the
strangest thing is the suicidal ten
1ency of the Chukchees. Among the.
Chukchees, actually, suicide is one Of
the most common forms of death.
THE Chukchees live in northeastern
Siberia. They are small and copper
colored. They dress in skins and ride
reindeer. Tallow and raw kidney are
their chief delicacies. In every Chuk-
chez house hangs death coat. .~$(
"A Chukchee doesn't kill himself by
his own hand. He appoints his near
est relative-his wife, son or daughter
to do the deed. And the delegate
never rebels, never declines this sad
and horrible task.
'Innumerable are the causes of sui
cide-jealousy, unrequited love, an in.
durable disease, melancholy, poverty
and so on.
Il knew a man who was prosperous
and apparently happy. Suddenly de-
sire for death seized him. In three
MONTHS he said, I will go home to
my fathers And he calmly settled
his affairs and at the appointed time
bade his wife to knot cord about his
throat and his two sons to pull upon
this cord till he should be strangled.
He died, they told me, joking.
"The death coat which hangs in
every Chukchee house has hood. 1t
is for use in suicide. The hood hides
the facial contortions of the dying.
There are Chukchee families where
in suicide is hereditary, wherein it is
a point of honor for the sons to kill
themselves, natural death being re-
garded in such families as disgraceful
and scandalous, sign of the most un-
pardonable cowardice.
'*The Chukchees, despite their sui
cidal tendency, are a happy and
healthy people, moral, truthful, brave
and temperate"

DESKS OF FAMOUS AMERICANS
Elaborate and Primitive Furniture on
Which Great Work Was Done.

The desk of Salmon P. Chase, a
plain piece of furniture made from
mahogany, is in one OF the rooms of
ington. There are many of these old
desks scattered about the country.
their chief claim to interest being
that once some we'll known man
leared over them.
Alexander Hamilton's travelling
desk, made of mahogany and measur-
ing IL by 16 inches and 10 inches
high, is an interesting object. Upon
this desk was written much of his lit
erary work, and the worn green baize
with which it is lined attests to the
use to which it was put There is a
drawer in one side, and several CON-
partments for pens and ink, while up
on the top is inlaid a silver plate with
the name Gen. Alexander Hamilton
engraved upon it. Within the top is
a. strip Of parchment which says:
"Given by Mrs. Gen. Schuyler to her
daughter, Mrs. Gen. A. Hamilton" No
doubt the convenient size was what
recommended it to the general.
Nathaniel Hawthorne's desk is pre-
served at the Custom House, Salem,
Mass. A desk at which he wrote
some of his inimitable romances was
just board standing out from the
wall at an angle This is still in the
tower room at Wayside, his home at
Concord, Mass. Victor Hugo had in
his Guernsey house study built al
most entirely of glass and perched
upon the roof. Like Hawthorne, he,
too, stood at his writing, and his desk
was mere shelf fastened by hinges
to the Wall.-The Delineator.

Side by side.
Leaving door and windows wide;
Careless tenants they!
All within is dark as night:
In the windows is no light;
And no murrnur at the door.

Close the door. the shutters close
Or through the windows we shall see
The nakedness and vacancy

Is here. or merry making sound
