MAKING OLD OAK.

One Of the Tricks of the Cabinet
makers Trade.
You will have to go long way be-
fore you find body of men more clev-
er than those cabinetmakers who pro-
duce goods to satisfy the desire of the
public for furniture made of old and
fancy woods They can transform
whitewood into all kinds Of exotic
woods by means of chemicals. and u
chemist would be surprised If he were
to have the run Of one Of those facto-
rieS for a day.
The manufacture of "old" oak is one
of the easiest OF their processes. The
boards, holdings, panels or whatever
pieces are required are made Of oak
which has just had time to dry suffi-
GENTLY to prevent excessive warping.
They are then placed in a dark room.
on the floor of which and quite close to
the furniture 70 be aged" are placed
several bowls, plates and so forth, Of
liquid ammonia. The room is then her
metically closed up, and the wood is
left for a month or so. according to the
age which is required. The coloration
will extend TO depth of nearly
quarter Of an inch If the room is kept
closed for q few months.
That is why there is so much old oak
furniture about OF course, little re-
Election would show that it could not
be genuine-the forests of the middle
ages would not have furnished one-half
OF it-but people do not always reflect.

A Poets HomeIy Face,

The poet Rogers was afflicted with
notably unpleasant, cadaverOus coun.
tenance, which, with all his intellectual.
power, was q modification to him. To
hide his annoyance, he joked about his
ugliness necessarily and deceived his
friends into supposing him Indifferent
to it. He once turned to Sydney
Smith, who, with Byron and Moore
was dining with him, and said:
"Chantrey wants to perpetuate thi,
miserable face Of mine. What posi-
would you suggest that should take?
IF you really wish to spare the world
as much as possible" said the wit II
would, IL l were you, be taken at my
prayers, my face buried in my hands,
Rogers laughed with the other per.
sons present, but he shot a malignant
glance at the jester and, it is said, new
er fully forgave him for the bonnet.

There is no doubt that DR.. Crapsey
was right when he said in his letter
to the bishop that there were hun
dreds OF clergymen and thousands Of
laymen who accept the things he
taught, but 1t doesn't follow for that
reason that he was entitled to hold
his pulpit and teach them
On the wider field which he pro-
poses to enter he will be free to teach
whatever he pleases. No doubt he
will have many followers, and he may
be able to do much more good than
he has been doing, because his teach
ings divided his congregation into two
hostile factions. These factions were
more interested in upholding their re-
spective views than in promoting the
cause of religion. 1t is said that the
faction line in St Andrews church
was very marked, and that the Crap.

DR.. Crapsey's friends said that he

not show that there was foundation
for this accusation. The court of re-
view was made up with great care.
1t was composed of one bishop. three
presbyters and three laymen, all men
of high character and acknowledged
ability. 1t was decided that each

Many years ago. says The Boston Post,
Philadelphia clothing manufacturer re-
ceived a contract for making uniforms
for the telegraph operators along the line
of one Of the railroads. In order to
measure the operators along the line he
sent kilograms asking them to meet him
on the station platforms.
He sent this telegram to the operator at
one of the small stations:
Meet me on the arrival of the 2:15
p. m. train. Wear nothing but shirt and
trousers"
At the appointed time he reached this
station and inquired for the operator. He
saw a young woman looking embarrassed.
She said in answer to Ills inquiry:

II Is said that the number OF young
men who are entering colleges this fall
with the intention OF studying for the
ministry is smaller than ever before for a
long term of years. There is no mystery
about this. The reason is as plain and
as hideous as big signboard in pleas
ant meadow. The ministry as a profess
sion does not offer to the young man the
financial Inducements" that may be
found in other professions or in the broad
highway of the specialist That is the
reason. There is no other explanation
for the shortage Of the theological stu
dents. 1t is question of cash. When a
young man with strong religious tenden-
cies makes up his mind to study engi-.
neering, electricity. forestry, mechanics,
medicine, law. or almost any of the
branches which will fit him to take part
in the great industrial world, do not
wonder that he has not taken up the
ministry. Look for the reason to the
congregation he might serve and see 1t
in the fact that as rule ministers of
the gospel are paid beggarly salaries.
