Ivory Difficult to Judge.

The next time you have billiard cue in your hand and expect to run the game out just stop and ponder over the age of the pieces of ivory which are rolling tantalizingly about the table. That white ball which has just received too much English" be- longed to an old elephant who was wandering through the Congo jungles when Napoleon was still alive. Those balls cost from $S to $10 apiece. Study the history of the billiard ball and their case and you will have more re- spect for the game.
 The elephants tusk which is large enough to furnish the product for good billiard ball must be at least twenty-five years old. If it is fifty years old, so much the better. The tusk of the elephane grows much like m oak tree, and the grain of the ivory looks not unlike the grain of sea soned piece of oak lumber. If it is "green" the ivory will shrink just as the wood shrinks. If it is too dry" it will "chip" in the same fashion.
 The buying of billiard oalls at best is a gamble. A ball may have the right weight, the proper gloss and ap- pear to be well seasoned, but for some unaccountable reason will chip off and become totally ruined by fall on the floor. Buy dozen balls like setting of Plymouth Rock eggs, three or four balls will last for years, while the others will have to be re- placed again and again.

Much Timber Uncut.

Across the great lakes in Canada there lies one of the worlds largest reserves of timber In spite of the tariff imposed much of this timber is to-day coming to the United States The forests of the Dominion are begin ming to yield abundantly. More than 1OO,OOO,OOO feet of pine sawlogs and square timber, during recent season, were cut upon territory held under timber license from the crown.
 Much of Canada's timber land has not yet even been explored. In the newly developed districts of Algoma, which are close to the great lakes, it is estimated that there are more than 1OO,OOO,O00 cords of spruce and pulp wood. while in the districts of Thur der Bay and Rainy River there are nearly ..9O,000,000 cords more. A belt at least 5000 miles long is believed to exist in. Canada between Alaska and the Atlantic.
 It has been estimated that, at the present rate of cutting, the greatest 
 timber resources of the United States those of the Pacific coast-will be exhausted in less than half a century. The annual cut of shingles and lumber in these regions is 4,500,000,00O feet. The standing timber in Washington, Oregon and northern California at present is twice that of the original timber lands of the northern woods. Washington produces about as many feet of shingles and other lumber as Oregon and California together. This State is noted for its shingles, there being more than 1000 shingle mills within its borders. At Tacoma are To- cated the largest sawmills in the United States.

Hints and Eemedies.

Often farmers desire to tan sheep skin at home for rug or other pur- pose. An exchange gives the follow ing methods, says the Baltimore Sun.
 Wash the sheep hide in warm water, remove all feshy matter from the in- ner surface and loose dirt from the hair side. Next wash in strong, warm soapsuds. The old-fashioned soft soap made from wood acids is best. Either rub by hand or gently on the wash board As soon as thoroughly cleansed and rinsed press as much water out as possible. Add the following mixture to the nesh side: Common salt and ground alum, one-fourth ounce each, and one-half ounce of boraX, dissolved in one quart of hot water. When suf- ficiently cool to work with the hand, add enough rye meal to make a thick paste. Spread the mixture on the flesh side; fold and let remain in shady, airy place for two weeks; remove the paste and wash When nearly dry, scrape the flesh side thoroughly with dull knife and then rub with the hands until the skin is soft and pli. able.

About Bird's.EYe Maple.

For hundreds of years lumbermen and cabinet-makers have been study ing to learn what causes maple wood to assume the mottled and spotted form known as 'bird' s-eye." In a hundred rock maple trees perhaps one is a bird's-eye. Nobody can pick the specific tree out by inspecting the bark or the manner of growth. You may have to chop POO trees before you find one, but it is worth the sacrifice.
 Fact is, the woodpeckers make all the bird's-eye maple there is in the world. In flying about the woods they come to rock maple tree that yields very sweet sap in the season when sap is running. Most birds like -woodpeckers are very fond of sugar Having found tree yielding a large per cent of sugar, the birds peck holes in the trunk and then stand against the bark and drink the sap as it oozes out.
 After the sap has ceased to flow and the trees have leaved out new wood and bark form in those small holes. The pecking and p-gathering goes on for years until the tree, having given up so much sap to the birds be- gins to furnish fluid containing less sugar. In ten or twelve years after the birds quit tree the holes are all grown up and nobody can pick out the big bird s-eyes from other trees that the woodpeckers did not visit.-New York Sun.

Curing Cats of Disc ase,

Diseased seed oats are now medi- cated while passing through elevators, a number of the grain elevators of Indiana having been equipped for the purpose. The peculiar ailment to which oats are most susceptible is known as smut and unless treated such oats produce very inferior crops. However, the disease can be cured quite easily, and the medicament is simply formaldehyde, that much abused germicide.
 To treat the oats a veritable drop or chute about three feet square and forty to fifty feet high is prepared, on the inside of which are placed shelves or defectors sloping downward, alternat- ing on two opposite sides from top to bottom. As the grain drops from the top it is thrown from side to side by the dehectors and thus thoroughly mixed.
 By means of small steam pump the fcrmaldehyde is then thrown, in the form of fine spray, against the falling grain near the top of the drop. By the time the grain reaches the bottom it is thoroughly moistened, being allowed to remain in this condition several hours, after which it is run through the drop a second time, with blast of cold air replacing the stream of formaldehyde spray, by which it is thoroughly dried.

Change of Sentiment.

"William," said the broker, sterniy, you did not report yesterday after noon, so you may consider yourself discharged"
 But, boss" protested William, the office boy, II went to the baseball game"

 "But-but just as Kelley, on the oth- CT team. was almost safe home I fell off the bleachers."
 "What of that?"
 "Why, yelled so loud he. stopped to look around and they put him out. made him lose that run and saved the game for our nine."

Glory of Another Kind.

Sir John Furlbert, who has been identified with the National Red Cross Society since its organization in 1868, and is said to know more about Red Cross and ambulance work than aEy other man in Europe, is also an old experienced volunteer.
 Some years ago, as he relates in his recent book, ''In Peace and War;" Sir John accompanied the British volun- teers to Belgium, where, encouraged by the sight of many Belgian com rades with bemedaled breasts, some of the Britons were inclined to follow their example, and consequently re- quired to be closely inspected.
 One day Sir John spotted man on parade who astonished him by the number of his medals. He was evi- dently fattered by Sir Johns notice, and swelled out his chest quite mo- ticeably.
 "You seem to have seen consider able service," observed the knight. "In what wars have you been engaged?"'
 "Bless you, I've never been in a war;" returned the resplendent mem- Der of the citizen army. My father and I were awarded these medals at agricultural shows for special breed of pigs, for which we are famous"

A Full StOp.

A returned traveller who spent half of his holiday in a tour of Ireland brought back a sample of the happy go-lucky wit of the Irish 'jarvey," or driver. In a breakneck race down a hill he suddenly realized that the spirited little Irish mare was running away.
 Pull her upw he shouted, excited ly.
 Hold tight. your honor," re turned the jarvey, easily.
 Pull her upr' again commanded the traveller, making a grab for the reins.
 For your life don't touch the reins," the jarvey answered, without tightening his grip. Sure, they're as rotten as pears"
 The traveller made ready to jump, but the jarvey laid soothing hand on his shoulder.
 ''Sit easy" he said, reassuringly. "Ill turn her into the river at the bridge below here. Sure, thatll stop her."

FAITH IN SANTA CLAUS.

used to watch for Santa Claus With childish faith sublime. And listen in the snowy night To hear his sleigh bells chime. Beside the door on Christmas eve put truss of hay To feed the prancing steeds That sped him on his way. pictured him jolly man With beard of frosty white, And cheeks so fat that when he laughed They hid his eyes from sight; A heart that overfowed with love For little girls and boys, And on his back bulging pack, Brlmful of gorgeous toys. If children of larger growth Could have a Christmas tree From Father Time, one gift alone Would be enough for me Let others take the gems and gold, And triles light and vain, But give me back my old belief In Santa Claus again

As Father Saw It.

In the schools of Connecticut town measures were recently taken to test the children's eyesight As the doctor finished each school he gave the principal a list of the pupils whose eyes needed attention, and requested him to notify the children's parents to that effect
 One night, soon after the opening of the fall term, little boy came home and gave his father the following note, duly signed uy the principals:
 MT. -. Dear Sir-It becomes my duty to inform you that your son shows decided indications of astigna- tism, and his case is one that should be attended to without .elay."
 The next day the father sent the following answer:
 Dear Sir-Whip it out of him. Yours truly"

Colonel W; p. Dodge, counsel for the

that the statements might be reduced

Mr.. Quist, called to the stand this

bers and manufacturers and urged
home patronage by the Minnesota re-
tailers.
