A Remarkable Name.

Years ago as a New England sea
captain was signing contract at Il
shipping Office he was observed by
the official in charge to be writing a
string of names. "Only sign for
yourself, cap'en,' cried the officer,
"not for the whole crew." The cap
tain grimly pointed out the head
ing-"Name in full"-and went on
writing his piece, which, when he
had done, the officer, after. some
trouble in deciphering, found te
read thus: "Through-Much- -Tribula,
tion-We Enter Into the Kingdom
of-Heaven Clapp.' '.Will you please
to tell me, Captain Clapp," said he,
with as demure face as his violent
inclination to indulge in hearty
laugh would allow him to put on,
"what might your mother have call
ed YOU in your infancy to save her
self the trouble of repeating SER
mon whenever she had occasion to
name her darling?' "Why, sir, re-
piled Captain Clapp. with laughable
simplicity. "whcn | was little they
used to call me Tribby for short

A Homemade Curfew.

Every family should have cur
few which should positively ring
tonight" and every night if needed;
These curfews are inexpensive and
can be homemade. Take piece OF
siding two feet long and whittle one
end down to handle. Then take
the child that needs the curfew and
bend him over barrel. Now take
the piece of siding in the hand and
use it for clapper. Put it on hot
Divide the strokes evenly and see
that none miss. Good for boy or

THREE QUEER CITIES.
Each One To- Built on Islands Con.
neetsd BY MANY aridoss.

The city of Ghent, in Belgium, is
built on twenty-six islands. These
islands are connected with each 9TH
er by eighty bridges. The city has
800 streets and thirty public
squares. 1t is noted for being the
birthplace of Charles V. and John
Of Gaunt, whom Shakespeare called
time honored Lancaster" and as
the scene Of the pacifcation of
Ghent, Nov. 8, 1876, and of several
insurrections, sieges and executions
OF well known personages. 1t is as
sociated with American history by
the treaty made there Dec. "a, 1914,
terminating the second war between
England and the United States,
known as the war of 1912.
Amsterdam, in Holland, is built
on piles driven far below the water
into the earth. The city is inter
sected by many canals, which are
spanned by nearly 300 bridges, and
resembles Venice in the mingling
of land and water, though it is con-
siderably larger than that city. The
canals divide the city, which is about
ten miles in circumference, into
ninety islands.
The city of Venice is built on
eighty islets, which are connected
by nearly 400 bridges. Canals serve
for streets in Venice and boats,
called gondolas, for carriages. The
bridges are, as rule, very steep,
rising considerably in the middle,
but have easy steps. The circum-
ference of the city is about eight
miles. The Nenetians joined the
Lombard league against the Ger
man emperor and in 1177 gained a
great victory in defense of Pope AL
exander III. over the feet of wal
vessels headed by Otto, son of Fred
erick Barbarossa. In gratitude fol
this victory the pope gave the Doge
Ziani ring and instituted the world
famous ceremony of 'sVenice Mar.
rying the Adriatic Sea-" In this
ceremony the doge, as the chie1
ruler of Venice used to be termed
with appropriate ceremonies drop
ped a ring into the sea every year IL
recognition of the wealth and trade
carried to Venice by the Adriatic.

On the Wrong Man.

Bret Harte was so frequently
complimented on being the author
of Little Breeches" that he was
almost sorry it was ever written as as
was Secretary John Hay, who would
prefer his fame to rest on more am
bilious work. A gushing lady who
prided herself upon her literary
tastes said to him once: Mr.. Harte.
| am so delighted to meet you. l
have read everything you ever
wrote, but of all your dialect verse
there is none that compares WIN

Watch Crystal Making.

The process of making the watch
glasses is more or less a secret, as is
also the construction Of the ovens,
but it is known that the glass is
blown into large spheres or balloons,
after which it is baked and anneal-
ed. Skilled workmen then cut out
the glasses with a diamond point,
after which they are ground to the
proper sizes. The ovens are very
expensive to build, costing not less
than 100000 each, and their opera
tion is so difficult that one of the
firms found it cheaper to have their
balloons made by the oldest man
ufacturers who were more expert,
than to make them themselves.-St.
Louis Post-Dispatch.

HOW VENEER is MADE.
a" 'nss' e.tine Industry Found \,
Lumber Centsrs.

"oer Sentera.
no" veneer Is manufactured is a
mystery to the majority of peonle
Inc INDUSTRY IS not only one of the
chief occupations of Mattoon, Wis
but an exceptionally interesting one
also.
After tree has been cut in tbo
woods and brought to the mill on
nat cars 1t is rolled into pond
near the mill. Logs are hoisted
from the pond to drag saw, where
they are cnt into various lengths.
They are then put into steam box
for ut least twelve hours in order to
soften the timber. This steam box
is a large box directly behind the
drag saw, into which the timber is
piled. A two inch pipe containing
holes through which the steam can
escape passes through this steam
box. AT the end of twelve hours
the timber is removed from the
steam box. and then comes the proc
ess called pecIing. With spuds and
axes the bark is removed easily. for
the timber is soft now and red hot.
1t is then ready to enter the mill
and be cut into veneer.
The peeled log is hoisted on
crane to the veneer lathe, and that
is the last one sees of the log. When
it once passes this lathe it comes
out on the other side in long, thin
sheets of veneer. According to
thickness desired, it is cut from
one one-hundredth of an inch to
one-half inch thick and sixty-four
inches long.
As the veneer leaves the machine
it slides along table thirty feet in
length. Ten feet from the end is
the clipper, where it is clipped into
different widths, an inch being al
lowed for driving. 1t is now ready
to enter the driving process.
The drier is eight feet wide and
100 feet long. 1t is chain driven
machine throughout, having four
sets of rollers. In order to heat
this drer there are 10000 feet Of
one inch pipes passing through it
above and below each set of rollers.
The temperature must always be
from 200 to $50 degrees. Veneer
is put into the drier at one end, or,

While the veneer slowly moves
through the machine it is also dried,
so thai il is smooth and dry, but
verv hot. The men i'll charge of
the veneer at that end always wear
canvas gloves to prevent their hands
from becoming burned and blister
ed, while the perspiration runs free
ly from their faces. 1t takes from
fifteen minutes to two hours fol-

The second story of the local mil
is known as the glue room. Here
veneer is glued together for furnl'

The veneer that has been glued fol

THE COLONIES STORY.
Row Jim Adkins Went - War, Got

Talking about war times" said
the old colonel, "did any of you
ever hear the story of Jim Adkins :''

well, I'm surprised. Everybody
IN the settlement knew it. Jim was
no count sort of a fellow, and the
old man was anxious to get rid Of
him. so when the war broke out and
they were looking around for men
the old man gave him away"
Gave him away?"
"Yes. Jim was in the hayloft
and they were about to leave with.
out him when the old man winked
and pointed to the barn.
THAT was enough, and they got
him and marched him to the front.
"Ihe old man was sorry after
Jim was gone, and his conscience
hurt him bad. But he hoped fol
the best, until ohe day he got mes.

killed and buried on the battlefield

home if possible, for the grief strick.

and made life miserable for him
with her reproaches.
HE went to Virginia and was
there informed that it would be i'm,
possible to remove the body. So he
stood over the spot where it was
buried and wept for three days
Then he went sadly home.
"And, 10 and behold, the first
man he met as he neared his gate
was Jim-safe, sound and right side
up with care!
cit was some time before the old
man could say word, but when he
found it was really Jim-in flesh
and blood-that they had got jim

old man was hot! He slowly diyest.

''It took the old lady and the
three girls and two stout darkies tc
pull the old man off.
''He never did explain why he die
it, and Jim didn't ask any questions
but the next morning he told his
mother that while his furlougE

Humor, of the Dublin Gallery,

The humor of the Dublin gallery
has long been proverbial. Macready
in his "Reminiscences" relates that
on one occasion when playing OF
wav's "Venice Preserved Jaffier's
long and rather drowsy dying speech
was interrupted by one of the gal
lerv, in tone of great impatience,
calling out very loudly, "Ah. now
die at once!" to which another from
the other side Immediately replied,
s'Be quiet, you blackguard," then
turning with patronizing tone to
the lingering Jaf1ier, "Take your
time"

A Daisy.

"You are a daisy" is used by
Dickens in "David Copperfeld" in
the sense of calling a person a daisy
in the way to express admiration
and at the same time to laugh at
ones creduhty. Steerforth says to
young Copperfeld: David, my dai-
sv, YOU are so innocent of the world.
Let me call you my daisy, as it is 80
refreshing to find one in these cor
rupt days so innocent and unsophis-
ticated. Ny dear Copperfeld, the
daisies Of the field are not teshsr

Best Way for Americas to
Protect Itself
MUTUAL FIRE INSURANCE Plan
Board of Trade Starts Discussion
Which May Result in Something
Definite for the Protection
of the Business and
Property In
tGreStS.

As a result ofthe publications in the
Times Recorder, and of the interest
taken and the aggressive attitude as
sumed by the business men at the
meeting of the Board of Trade last
night, steps may be taken for the
organization of mutual fire insurance
company in Americas.
The meeting of the Board of Trade
was well attended. After the usual
routine business the question of fire
insurance was brought up by Mr.. A.
w. Allison in resolution calleing on
the secretary to get data as to the fire
losses, rates, etc., of other cities of the
same population as Americas.
Mr.. J. E. D. Shipp proposed that a
home mutual company be started. A
long and interesting discussion follow
ed, in which Mess. Glover, Ansley,
Fricker, Allen, Mitchell and others
took part.
Owing to the lateness of the hour the
Times Recorder defers the publication
of an extensive report until tomorrow.
The project looks feasible. In any
event Americas must put up fight or
continue to be gouged.
