The newest method of curing timber
quickly for joiner work, pianos, etc,
is to sweeten it. The process, which
was invented by an EngIishman named
Powell, is described by United States
Consul Atwell, in Roubaix, France:
Powell replaces the sap Of trees by
beet sugar or saccharln, which acts as
a preservative by driving the natural
humidity from the fibres. Newly feIled
wood is laid on a wagonette, which
Is rolled into a huge cylinder the in
terror Of which is provided with pipes.
The wood having been placed in the
cylinder, the latter Is supplied with
sugar or saccharin. Hot water is then
forced through the pipes. The heat
boils the sugar, which penetrates the
pores of the wood. Cooling Is accom-
pllshed by cold water forced through
the pipes. The cylinder is emptied
Of the sugar or sacchsSu,2, and the
wagonette Is rolled into aSpecial room,
where the wood is dried by currents
Of hot air. After being cooled again,
the wood, properly seasoned by the
sugar, Is ready for use. 1t is said not
to spring or gather dampness and to be
proof against destruction by insects.

Tunes Serve as Reminders.

Have you ever noticed how a person
will associate music with different
scenes or incidents Of his lifeT" asked a
man on a street car recently. "Now,
in my case, every time I hear The
Holy City I am reminded Of girl I
was once in love with. She used to
sing 1t. 'Hiawatha' reminds me Of a
time when 1 was busted in Portland,
Ore. Everybody was whistling it then
And that's the way 1t goes" "Yes,"
the man addressed said, 1--WE found II
that way. A few years ago, when I
was hard up, owed tailor bill. The
tailor used to send a collector to see
me about every week, and that fellow
had the habit of whistling Goo Goo

CHOICE MISCELLANY



1T Is curious to note the number of
mistakes made In well informed quar-
ters," said a thoughtful man. Here
Is a Boston paper which calmly re-
marks that Mr.. Theodore Roosevelt is
our twenty-ninth president He is not.
Nor is his the twenty-ninth presidential
term. The facts are thus stated: The
first presidential term began March 4,
1889. though the president was not ac-
tually inaugurated till April 30. On
March 4, 1905, twenty-nine terms Of
four years each were completed and
the thirtieth term began. AS to the
separate individuals who have held the
office of president of the United States.
they are, In their order Washington,
John Adams, Jefferson, Madison, Mon
roe, John Quincy Adams, Jackson, Van
Buren,, William Henry Harrison, Tyler.
Polk, Taylor, Fillmore, Pierce, BuChan-
an, Lincoln, Johnson, Grant, Hayes,
Garfield, Arthur, Cleveland, Benjamin
Harrison, Mckinley and Roosevelt
twenty-five and no more. OF these nine
have been elected for second term;
but two, Lincoln and Mckinley, were
killed soon after the second term be-
gan. Tyler, Fillmore, Johnson and Ar
thur became president without having
been elected to that office, and each
served but a fraction of a term. Mr..
Roosevelt became president in the
same way, but has made a new record
by subsequent election to the office
which he first held by succession under
the constitution. New Orleans Times

A BAMBOO LAND.
Wide Usefulness of This Wonderful
Plant In China.

Wide Usefulness of This Wonderful
Plant In China.
A recent traveller in China impressed
with the wide usefulness of bamboo
thus states some of the possibilities:
y man can sit in a bamboo house,
under n bambOo roof, ON a bamboo
chair, at bamboo table, with his feet
resting on a bamboo footStoOl, with a
bamboo hat on his head and bamboo
sandals on his feet He can at the
same time hold in one hand bamboo
bowl, in the other bamboo chopsticks
and eat bamboo sprouts.
When through with his meal which
has been cooked over bamboo fire,
the table may be washed with a BAN
boo cloth, and he can fan himself with
bamboo fan and take Il siesta on
bamboo bed, lying on a bamboo mat,
with his head resting on bamboo pill
low. His child might be lying in a
bamboo cradle, playing with Il BAN
boo toy.
On rising, he could smoke a bamboo
pipe and, taking bamboo pen, write
letter on bamboo paper or carry his
articles in bamboo baskets suspended
from a bamboo pole, with a bamboo
umbrella over his head. He might
then take a walk over bamboo sus-
pension bridge, drink water out Of q
bamboo ladle and scrape himself with
a bamboo sweat scrapcr (handker-
chief. The bamboo ingenuity and per-
sistency have produced (bambOo) joint
results which exhibit the potentialities
and possibilities of the Chinese people.

1t is said that the car Of Russia has
$25,oOO,OO0 invested in English securi-
ties and that he would, In extreme
crisis, fly and live in England, as other
troubled monarchs have done before
him. Then he has second string to
his bow in the 100000 invested In
American rails, iron and coal. So long
as he remains In Russia, however, he
draws, according to a Frenchtinterna-
donal almanac which was recently sup
pressed in st. Petersburg, $42.b73, 600
