NEW TEST FOR TIMBER.

It is claimed by the lumbermen that timber which has lain in water seasons more quickly and lasts longer than that which is freshly cut From priori reasoning it would be quite natural to suppose that the water would soak out certain of the gummy matters of the wood, especially of the sap wood, making it more easily dried. Moreover, the washing out of the sap from the young wood removes most of the sugar, proteids, etc., which nor mally furnish wood the bacteria and other fungi which cause the rotting of lumber. The Bureau of Forestry be- lieves that 1t is worth while from a practical point of view to find out the truth about these impressions of lumbermen and reasonings of scientists and is beginning series of tests at it's new experiment stations ill Michigan and Wisconsin. To make the experi- ments as practical as possible, they will be conducted on telegraph and telephone poles, articles whose period of usefulness is a matter of no small economic importance. The poles will first be soaked in water for varying lengths of time and then piled and seasoned, careful records being kept of the time required for seasoning and the quality of the seasoned timber.- Golfers.

ANARCHIST CHRISTIAN.
THE REMARKABLE CONFER
 SION
Of Alexander Berkman, Who Nearly
 Killed Prick.

Alexander Berkman, the anarchist. who is now on the last six months of his fifteen years imprisonment in the Allegheny county workhouse for shoot ing Henry c. Prick during the Home stead strike, has adopted the Christian faith. Because of his religious zeal he has been made assistant to the prison chaplain. He attends all prayer meet ings, and his tenor voice can be heard high above the lamentations that echo throughout the corridors on Sunday mornings. He conducted the service to-day.
 Berkman began his long imprison- ment as the worse Red in America. A history of his life will be completed by him about the time he is liberated. It will conclude with a passionate ap- peal to former friends and anarchists to abandon their principles and follow the teachings of Christ.
 Berkman was a jealous disciple Of Johann Most and Emma Goldman. His only regret was that he had not killed Prick. He began his imprison- ment in the Western Pennsylvania penitentiary, and from the first .hegave 1 the keepers trouble. They tried the discipline of confinement in a dungeon, but this only made him worse. He was back of every plot for escape. He | is supposed to have originated the plot | whereby friends on the outside rented l a house in close proximity to the peni- tentiary and dug a tunnel beneath the f prison walls to a stone yard where Berkman was daily occupied.
 Berkman abandoned hope of escape when this scheme was detected and frustrated. Then, for recreation, he | spent his time in study. The books in
 the prison library soon became his l friends. After Six months it was seen i that his character was changing for i the better. He became interested in 1 the study of languages. Having be- come proficient in English he took up in succession the study of Latin, Greek, German, French and Italian. l His self-education has been marvellous.
 The Bible became his constant com panion during the last days of his term
 in the penitentiary.
 When Berkman was transferred to the Allegheny county workhouse to
 conclude the final year of his sentence
 the authorities were prepared to chain him to the floor, in view of the stories
 of his early savagery. But Prison Chaplain Imbrie found in the new re- 1 cruit ready disciple. Advising the
 anarchist to read the Bible, he was
 amazed to learn that the good book l had afforded the Red the only con- 1 solation he had found for some years l Further inquiry revealed that Berk-
 man no longer harbored the principles l which wrought his ruin. He says now
 that he no longer believes it is within
 the province of man to assassinate his
 brother for the welfare of mankind
 but that the Creator will eventually
 adjust the differences and equalitieS
 among His children on earth. He be-
 gins and ends each day on his knees
 with a devout prayer for guiance and light.
 Berkman will be released on April
 next. He will live in New York. His
 autobiography will tell of the struggle
 he, had with his conscience while he was being nverted.-Pittsburg Spec ial.

MILLIONAIRE WHOSE WIFE STILL
 CUTS HIS HAIR.


 Over in Brooklyn there lives a mil- lionaire well along in years with wife from whom also youth has long since fled. From the old days before wealth came to them the couple retain one custom which has passed, as the years have flown, into a sort of sacred rite. The old lady cuts the old gentleman's hair. Once a year the millionaire goes to barber shop and has his scanty locks trimmed. That sets the style for the ensuing year. When he comes home the wife carefully studies the cut, and after that it is her work of love to reproduce 1t until another year rolls around and the annual visit to the barber takes place. The old gen. tleman also slaves himself.
 Economy in the matter of barbering, which was first matter of stern ne- cessity, is now the one Itttle thing that the couple refuse to give up out of the days of poverty. As they are child less couple, there is nobody to hector the old man into engaging a valet. Really the old man has his hair cut more often than is necessary, for sometimes when the worries of wealth and social duties are more than ordt- narily oppressive the good wife will say: Come, dear-come up to my room. I want to cut your haisrs' And while the scissors snip the old couple laughingly go back to the old happy days of youth and struggle once more. New York Press.

THE COW AND THE IRON HORSE.

THE COW AND THE IRON HORSE.
 M. E. Ingalls,, the railway president relates a story, says Harper's Weekly, of President Scott, who some years ago was at the head of the Cincinnati Southern road.
 When Mr. Scott assumed the office mentioned he was soon greatly an- noyed by the great number of claims preferred against his road by reason of horses and cattle killed by trains pass ing through Kentucky. MT. Scott averred that it seemed to him that it was impossible for his system to run a train north or south, east or west, in that state without killing a horse or a COW; and, to, make matters worse. 1t appeared that every animal killed, however worthless it may have been before the accident, invariably figured in the claims subsequently, presented as being of the best blood in Kentucky. One day, in conversation with one of the roads counsel, Scott became very much excited in referring to the sltua- tion. Do you know" he exclaimed, bringing down his fist on the desk by

NEW USE FOR SKINNED MILK.
 Consul General Guebther of Frankfort
 who, by the way, is one of the most
 wide awake and useful men in the consular service, has sent the state
 department some particulars concern
 ing new manufacture from cows
 milk. It is not an edible article, eith-
 CT, but something entirely different,
 and it is made from skinned milk af- ter the richest elements have been re-
 moved. It Is called tgalalith.'', evil dently from the Greek words for milk ! and stone. It is hardened milk. Peo-
 pie will do well to master the word, as
 it probably will not be long before the article is manufactured in this coun- try.
 The new substance is described as a 1 hornlike product It is produced in all l colors and an endless variety of de- signs. The limitations of tortoise shell, amber, corals, ets., are said to be re- 1 markably like, in fact, hardly distin- 1 guishable even by chemical analysis. ] The colors are the finest and most bril- i liant and. compared with celluloid, ] which is made of gun cotton, camphor
 and some other ingredient, 1t possesses 1 the advantage of being odorless and not at all infammable. Finally, it can 1 be produced at slight cost and, al- though very hard, can be easily carved
 into a great variety of forms, With
 these qualities galalith is pretty sure to come into wide use.
