BONANZA IN TREE STUMPS
New Industry in the Lake Superior
Region Which Has Bound
less Area.

Securing timber for use In shipbuild-
ing on the Atlantic coast is a compare
lively new industry in the Lake Superior
region. The business. reports the Chi
cago Inter Ocean, was introduced by
an Auburn (Me.) man, who furnishes
shipyards with braces for wooden yes-
sells, and for whom E. G. Edserly acts in
the capacity Of timber inspector and
buyer, and it is increasing with each
year as timber of the proper sort be-
comes more scarce in the eastern states.
I'VE do not bother with the mast and
regular long construction timbers, said
Mr.. Edgerly. I'VE devote our attention
to getting out corner braces, and for
this purpose it is necessary to use the
roots Of trees. the main trunk, aside
from foot or two at the butt, not being
a,.cd into use at all, Tamarack is best
suited for the purpose, and as the
.tumps are as suited as the trees them
selves. provided the roots are intact. we
have In the Lake Superior district prac-
tlcally an uUllulleu Helu. All VIC udNc
70 do is to follow in the tracks of the
railroad tie cutters and use what they
leave. The stump, or portion OF 1t.
is taken from the ground, and the crook
ed piece is then hewed into shape, later
being hauled to the railroad and shipped
to Auburn, where It goes through plan
ing mill, and IL made ready for market.
Each vessel uses from 400 to 800 OF
these braces. which are necessarily
rather high In price, because of the work
of getting them out and because of high
freight rates. They cost us about 1925
to $3.50 per carload The freight rate to
Maine ranges from $40 to $40 car,
depending upon the location Of the
source of supply None of the product
Is used on the lakes, where very few, II
any. wooden vessels are now being built.
In the North Atlantic shipyards, how
ever, a considerable number OF wooden
schooners are constructed every year"

ORDER SPECIAL CIGARETTES
For This Exclusiveness Both Men
and Women Consumers Pay
Big Prices.

A tobacconist In the vicinity Of Mad
lson square exhibits a window full Of
cigarettes made TO order, adorned with
the crest or monogram in gold of men
about town who can afford TO pay tor
such Injuries, says the New York Times.
A few boxes OF cigarettes made up in the
sizes affected by women indicate that ex-
travagances of this sort are not confined
to one sex. Customers who have ciga-
rettes made to order have their crest or
monogram printed on extra fine rice pa
per by some fashionable stationer, and
take the pads to the tobacconist to be
filed and rolled with the tobacco they
most fancy, Domestic grades are quite
as much in demand as Egyptian or Turk
ish. For this exclusiveness they pay
from $3.50 to 5000 thousand for ciga-
rettes that if bought in the open shop
would cost them $50 or SIS thousand.
Cigarette smokers have their peculiar
tiles. Some of them are as cranky as an
old woman If their special orders are
rolled little closer or trifle looser than
they are accustomed to have them. Toa
young man in the Racquet club who was
kicking" on this score the dealer said;
VERY we'll, Mr.. Blank. Give US permis7
sion to sell these in our stock and Wen
make you another lot"
What" was the answer, with my
monogram on them2 I like your impeF:
thence, sir. Those cigarettes must be
destroyed"
More than one uptown tobacconist
makes cigarettes to order for young men
in the British aristocracy who have wed
American girls. While in this country
they acquired fondness for Virginia
tobacco and won't smoke any other. A
well-known American woman living in
London has cigarettes made for her In
New York Of the commonest kind Of Viz
ginia straight cut tobacco, such as is sold
in fve-cent packages. She buys them In
lots Of 1000, close rolled, and OF special
size.

BEER OF The ROYAL BREW
Famous Hofbrau House Of Munich
Established in 1859 by Ba-
varian Duke,

The royal family Of Bavaria has from
time immemorial been known to fame
as the principal brewers Of all Germany.
The famous Hofbrau house, or royal
brewery, was established In September,
1889, by Duke William Of Bavaria, and
has become one Of the national institu-
tions Of the country. No one who has
not been in Munich, says Modern Soei-
ETY., can form any idea of the grim, dingy
tavern in which the royal court beer has
been sold at retail for the last 300 years,
and which forms part of the ancient pal
ace Of the dukes of Bavaria.
There are no walters or mattresses,
everybody being expected to attend to
his own wants, and on the occasion of
the kaiser's visits to Munich he, together
with the Bavarian princes who happen
to be escorting him, take their place in
line and await their turn for a stone
mug, which, in accordance with the
time-honored custom of the place, they
themselves rinse In the tank before
again forming in line for the purpose of
having their mugs filed.
AS soon as their mugs are filed kaiser
and princes sit down at the rough deal
tables, which have done service from
time immemorial, and purchase from
the perambulating vendors slices of
wurst and schwarzbrod. IL may sur
prise many that great personages should
be ready to put up with so much discom-
for for the sake Of mere mug of beer. A
draught OF the latter is all that is re-
CURED by way Of explanation.
The beer is truly royal, and in every
way worthy Of the ancient dynasty Of
Wittelsbach which produces it. No
where else In the world is 1t possible to
obtain such beer, the recipe for which
was obtained by the ducal founder Of the
brewery three centuries ago from the
famous brewer Degernberg, and has
been kept state secret by the sovereign
house Of Bavaria ever since.

Education Above Birth.

Japan has proverb which says
"Thy father and mother are as the sky
and earth, thy Lord as the moon, thy
teacher as the sum-" This is the ma
ton that takes lessons wherever they
are to be learned, and goes to school at
the feet of the western nations In ad-
miratien and respect, but without loss
of national character. 1t Is significant
that people who worship their ances-
tors and whose emperor claims direct
descent from 26 centuries of emperors
should possess the motto, Education
is more than birth. Youths Com
panion.

WHEN CLEANING CARPETS.
Best Way Of Freshening Up the Va
rious Floor-Coverings from
Parlor to Pantry.

An old-fashioned but very efficient
plan for this was to add three-quarters
OF pint of oxgall to a good pailful
OF water, and to rub this we'll into the
carpet with a soft brush, then rinsing
the lather off thoroughly with clean
water, and wiping it dry with plenty
of clean cloths. Grease may be re-
moved with thick paste of fuller's
earth and water, applied to the spot.
and left for "a hours to dry on, after
which 1t can be brushed OF easily. A
little powdered magnesia added to the
fuller's earth Is said to improve the
paste. For candle grease nothing Ss
better than blot;ing paper folded dot
BILE over the place, then lightly ironed
with hot iron, using clean piece OF
paper each time, as the hot iron dis.
solves the grease and the plotting pa
per absorbs 1t. For ink stains, II fresh,
wash the stain, saturating 1t well, with
skim milk, wiping this of directly 1t
discolors, and rubbing 1t with fresh
milk till the stain disappears. after
which wash with tepid water and rub
we'll. Chinese and Indian mattings
need little washing II they are regu-
iarly busted and wiped over with a
moist, but not wet, cloth. A little
lemon Juice or vinegar used with the
water helps to preserve the white color.
Straw mattings may be cleansed in the
same way (not too often, or they will
turn Yellow with salt and water,
Cocoanut mating should be well and
thoroughly scrubbed, and we'll rlnsed
before putting 1t back again. Limo
leum, patterned or plain, and cork
carpeting should never be washed in

BY-PRoDUcTs OF cAMPHoR
It L. Obtained from Every Part Of
the Tree in Great Variety
Of Forms.

Every part Of a camphor tree, even to
the leaves, contains camphor. The for
ests are not confined to Formosa alone,
but are also found In Japan proper. With
the extension Of the industry, the largo
areas of this tree have been greatly re-
duced, though replanting and cultiva-
ton are practised to considerable ex-
tent. tree requiring so years to attain
diameter of one foot.
In FormoSa, however. there Is still an
extensive supply Of native forest
growth, says the Scientific American,
and many huge trees are to be found In
regions still unexplored. The supply,
therefore, is assured for years to come.
Camphor is found in the form of crys-
tails in the wood tissues, and is separated
from the crude oil by double distillation.
From the first distillation is secured an
oxidized product, camphagenotol, the
principle Of the camphor oils OF COM
merce. The crude camphor is a dark
colored substance, fusing at ITO de-
grees C..
Among the by-products may be men
toned crude camphor oil, which Gomez
out simultaneously with the camphor;
white oil, obtained by sublimating the
crude oil, and used in the manufacture OF
soap. Red oil also Is obtained from the
crude camphor oil, as we'll as black oil,
which is extensively used in the prepar-
alton OF Yarnishes. A turpentine is Sc
cured from the white oil that is in great
demand for medical and industrial pur-
poses. From red oil is obtained the prod
uct known as saffrol, employed to q COM
siderable extent in the manufacture OF
perfumery, and also soap; and disin-
fectant is laso distilled from red oil,
after the addition of other substances,
claimed to kill the cholera bacillus. An
other product is an insecticide, which,
when mingled with 100 parts Of water,
destroys insects injurious to farm crops.
The annual export Of camphor from
Japan is about 100000 pounds, three
fourths of which is produced in For
mosa, the other fourth coming from
Japan proper, chiefly from Kyushu and
Shikoku. BY a provision of the law Of
1903 the sale of camphor produced in
Japan is monopolized by the govern
ment through restriction of the sale Of
crude camphor- and camphor oil.

Four Pounds q Year.

During the year 1899 two muskallunge
weighing IL pounds each were placed in
one OF the lakes of New Jersey, where
none of the species was known to exist.
Four years later an angler caught mus
kallunge in the same lake. 1t weighed
20 pounds. If, as was supposed, none OF
the species was to be found there. the
one caught must have been one Of the
two which were placed there four years
previously. This being the case, the
specimen taken by the angler had in
creased IN weight at the rate OF four
pounds each year. very good growth.
Evidently there was an abundance OF
food In the lake, which was well suited
to the muskallunge.-L. A. Spencer, in
Recreation.

RETIRED PRESIDENTS
ONLY TEN HAVE SURVIVED
LONGER THAN CLEVELAND.
Brief Outline of the Lives of Heads
Of the Nation from Washing
toms Time to the
Present.

Only ten men who have held the office
of president reached or surpassed MIR.
Cleyeland's present age or 68; only six
exceeded 1t by so much as ten years, and
none exceeded it by quite 20 years. Only
ten presidents have survived their re-
tirement from Office longer than Mr..
Cleveland, and four of these lived to
great age, says the New York Sun.
Washington, who survived his retire
ment less than three years, thought him
self an old man when he was first made
president at the age Of 81. John Adams
survived his retirement quarter OF a
century, and his son, John Quincy, who
outlived his retirement nearly 20 years,
was the only president who had nearly
ls conspicuous public career after oc-
cupying the presidency as before.
Monroe's six years after his retirement
from Office were passed in comparative
obscurity as a resident of this city, and
his dying hours were embittered by
scandalous accusations in connection
with Jackson's seizure Of Spanish forts
in Florida during the first Seminole war.
Polk outlived his retirement less than
year, and there Is every reason to sup
pose that had Arthur comprised his am
bition of an election to the presidency in
1884 he would have died early In his
term, for he outlived his retirement less
than two years.
Tyler, who outlived his retirement 20
years, emerged from obscurity near the
end of his life to preside over the vain
peace convention on the eve of the civil
war. He afterward served in the con-
gress Of the confederate states.
Buchanan lived more than seven years
after his retirement and took the oppor-
tunity to write what was In effect de-
tense of his administration.
Jefferson and Jackson we're the only
presidents who exercised really power
full influence over party councils after
their permanent retirement from public
Office. though Van Buren, was an active
politician as long as he had hope OF re-
nomination at the hands Of any party,
Johnson was the only retired presi-
dent to enter the United States senate,
and the younger Adams was the only one
to serve in the house Of representatives.
Cleveland and Harrison have been the
only retired presidents to be conspicu-
ousely successful In private business. 1t
is not generally known that Mr.. Cleve-
land still serves as consulting counsel in
law cases, in which his experience in the
Office of president may be supposed to
have given him special qualifications as
an adviser. His fees in such cases are
large, as were those Of Mr.. Harrison as
legal adviser and lecturer of consti-
tutional law.

A Nice Way to Darn

To fill in the worn places in the knees
of children's stockings, trim the worn
place out square, as if to set in a patch;
take long yarn in your darning needle
and, commencing back from the edge,
run across the opening, back and forth.
until done crosswise, then, with another
strand of yarn, take up the first length
wise. beginning back from the edge,
and work chain Of button hole stitches
to the other side, taking in one thread
of the crosswise warp each time, Do
sure to take up the original stitches az
each turn of the hole. This Is neat
way to I'LL in worn out finger tips In
