The Way It Is Built Up In Layers VIII,
lmpervous Cement.

The veneercd furniture of fifty
years ago cannot compare with that
made today The former practice
was to make single piece of in
ferior wood as the base OF the article
and to cover it skilifuily with paper
thin veneer, glued into place. As a
consequence the natural warpings
of the base wood, its contraction
and expansion under chan"in. at
moSphcric conditions AND, in moist
weather, the failure OF The glue
caused the veneer to cra :, lndu-
late or peel off. The ven eng of
today is generally th,c%rr and is
placed upon built mp ba { Ct three
ply or five ply scct;o2s. aith the
grain running in different d rcct;ons
in the various layer, so mat the
base is actually Stronger than any
wood that could he scared.
Great Improvement ha, also been
made in joining the pieces together,
impcrvious cements having taken
the place of inferior CLUES. 1t can
be seen that this built up process is
in no sense a cheap one, but in adj
dition to giving more satisfactory
results Iii the finished furniture t
has its chief value in making the
supply of choice material for the ex-
terror finish 90 much farther. More
over, by certain methods of cutting
the veneer many beautiful effects
can be obtained, and it is possible
not only to match similar pieces of
wood. but by cutting from the same
stock to make all of set of furni-
ture similar in its effect. Some
times one log, by judiciouS cutting,
can be made to furnish Il like pat.
tern for the furniture and interior
finish of any given room. Thus the
manufacturer has not Only perfect
ed device to make his supply g
farther, but to make it more use
full and beautiful. And use and
beauty, by all the tenets of furni-
ture making. are the two ends to be
chiefly sought-Woodcraft.

The Soul of the SINGER.

We read the song that is written
few little grotesque signs
Arranged I'm a certain meter
With rhymes at the end of the lines.
And by the thought or the music
Some chord in our hearts is stirred
But the song in the soul OF the singer
Is never heard.
The one who best sees the picture
Is he with the soul for art,
The one who best reads the poem
Is he with the poet heart;
The thoughts that are rarest and sweet
est
Are deepest from sight inferred;
The song in the soul OF the singer
Is never heard.
Some yearnings may not be spoken;
Some loves are so wholly blessed.
Some dreams are so tinged with heaven
They never can be expressed.
We miss the intangible something
Behind the veil OF the word.
The song in the soul OF the singer
Is never heard.
We meet. but are yelled in spirit:
Familiar and yet unknown:
A realm Of our Utmost beings
Where We are alone, alone.
In each is a strain peculiar
on no other heart conferred.
The song in the soul Of the singer
Is never heard.

A losinc Agreement.

there is nothing like being accom-

AMBERGRlS.
This Valuable Substance Comes From
Diseased Sperm Whales.

Ambergris is one of the most val
liable products of the sea. The
mariner who spies floating on the
waves grayish mass, fatty in ap-
pearancc, will, if he knows what
ambergris is, betray considerable ex-
element, for the substance brings
high prices,
The origin of ambergris was once
mystery, but it is so no longer. 1t
is morbid secretion due to IA dis
ease of the liver of the sperm whale,
in the imtcstincs of which animal
Jumps of it are occasionally, though
rarely, discovered. DR.. G. II. Ste
yenson of the United States fish
commission, who made a special
study of the subject, said that the
whales which yield ambcrgris are
invariably sickly and cmaciated
Anciently the substance was
known as amber, a name which was
subsequently applied to the fossil
gum now commonly so called. But
to distinguish the two one was call
ed amber girls (gray) and the 9th
er amber jaime" Wellow).
So it appears that ambergris
means simply gray amber, Like the
fossil gum, pieces of it were found
now and then on the scashorc,
where they had been cast mp by the
waves; hence doubtless the giving
of the same name TO both.
Ambergris usually contains the
beaks of cuttlefsheS. on which the
sperm whale feeds. Sometimes it is
black, but the finest is gray in color.
When dried. to cure it, it is light
and inhammablc and yields an odor
family resembling honey. On being
melted by heat it cyaporates slowly,
leaving no trace behind.
The substance has been used for
centuries in saccrdotal rites of the
church and with fragrant gums was
formerly burned in the apartments
OF royalty. TO some extent it was
employed as a medicine and to fla
vor certain dishes. Nowadays it is
utilized almost exclusively by per-
tuners in the preparation of fine
scents, being first converted into a
tincturc by dissolying it in alcohol.

Cells of the Honeycomb.

Honeybe~s arc generally credited
with instructive skill in making the
cells of the comb hcXagonal in
shape, but it is probable that this
fopst ffH4etion is merely the ordinary
result of mechanical laws. Solitary
bees always make circular cells, and
the bees in hive no doubt make
them circular also, but mechanical
pressure forces them into a hex
agonal form. A well known natural
list in speaking of the matter says
that all cylinders made of soft, plia-
bic substances become heXagonal
under such circumstances.

MARRIAGE In Italy.

Why does the signorina marry'
In seeking the answer to this qucs-
ton, SAYS the Italian sociologiSt,
Ferriani, | chose very young women
for my experiments, directing my
questions to ninety-tive between the
ages of fifteen and seventeen years,
scattered all over Italy, with the fol-
lowing results: Five answered that
they married in order to 60 out
walking alone, ten in order to have a
good time. in contrast with the aus
terity of their life up to that time;
five in order to travel, seven in or
der to have homes of their own and
siXtv-one for no reasons at all in
particular. Three really didn't
want to marry anyhow, while only
four dwclt upon the JOYS of home
and housekeeping. Only four had
been educated properly in the school
of the household. To the majority
marriage seems TO mean only free
dom from the convent-likc seclus!on
of TIE young girl, the getting out
into the great world and seeing
something of life.

the dangers Of this period. Boys
grow several inches In year. He is
awkward, his arms are too long and
his hands are too large. His nerves
do not grow as rapidly as his body.
1t is sometimes sad period. We
need to study the physical life of the
boy for a physical religion is a part
Of his life. Boys do not do things
for the same reason that men do.
The boy is an admirer of heroes. He
wants to be a man. This is why he
does so many foolish things.
The Boys Mind.
1.-The next topic discussed by Mr..
Forbush was the boys mind. The
first eight years of a boys life are
hedged around by limitations. He
has few words. He knows but little
and can't give attention long at a
time, but often gives attention when
we do not think he is. The motto
should be to teach a few things
thoroughly. We should teach simple
things in a simple way. In the adoles-
cent period there are no ouch limita-
tons. He has an abundant flow OF
words and knows many things. We
must quit teaching old Testament
stories only as they are--in action.
Hero stories of crusades, reformation
are good to teach the boys. Always
have a moral expressed or implied
and make the application to present
duty. We ought to be. their heroes.
"The next topic discussed by Mr..
Forbush was the Boys SOUL There
is no time when the boy Is without
religion. He is always sensible TO
impression. His ideas concerning
God are extravagant. Some one has
said that the boy is the innocent
pharisee. From S to IL years old the
boys religion Is habit and instinct.
1t is the old Testament period. This
period is neglected but it should not
be- From IA to Is years religion is
a matter Of volition. At IS years old
begins the doubling period. Don't
worry about these doubts. Watch,
be patient, careful and honest with
the boy. The gang spirit is neces-
sary in boy life. There is social de-
velopment in the gang. In these
years the boy seems hard, callous,
careless and Indifferent. He Is very
reserved but this is only a protection
for the boy. His heart is tender and
is easily reached. God has great con-
Germ for the boy.
The Teachers Training.
Teacher training was discussed
by Prof. Mccartney, of Henderson.
The kind Of teaching in the Sunday
school is poorer than that found any
where else. The crying need Of the
Sunday school is for men and women
consecrated to the cause of Christ to
teach HIS message TO the many thou
sands huhgering and thirsting for
the truth. May the day speedily
come when none but eonsecrated
men and women earnest and true
shall teach in our Sunday school.
The international Sunday school
convention to meet in Louisville in
1908 was briefly discussed by Mr..
Lawrence. This is to be the greatest
convention ever held. The mighty
forces that have been working for
theepast few years will reach their
elimination here. 1t is to be hoped
that a great delegation from this
section will be present.
