Would our happiness be complete
Did we not know thee there,
And thine own voice to hear.
And while I wonder in this trans

If angels arc guardn" thee now,
| can recall those traits Of modcsty,
Which adorn thy brow,
And pious love and beauty in thine
eyes | trace.
Yes. farewell. mother, sadcst word,
That ever fell on mortal ear.
And yet TO thee it maybe meant ctcr-
nal happiness declared,

Fer the chanmrlrss mlnrics there.
Mas. what comfort can We find?

Tha', those she leaves behind.
Whrn she lies down to death re-
signed.
Then. farewell. mother, if this be
the way,
THY spirit has fled,
We will cling meath the shadow Of his
will,
Anil hope her rainbow doth spread
And we will again hask in the joy
Of mothers love.
God Wills it so. we're fatcd all to

Manila, April 1o.--Rcports have
been received from south Luzon Of a
severe earthquake in the town Of
Nueva Caecrcs, capital Of the pro-
vince of Aribos Camarinos and also
at Tayabas in the province Of Taya-
bas in nothern Luzon. The destruc-
tion of buildings is reported, but so
far there is no mention of any loss
of life.
It is feared that communication
by wire has been affected. A tremb-

intermittent shocks for three hours

Charleston, Apri 19.--A shock OF
earthquake was felt here this morn,
ing as elsewhere along the Atlantic
scaboard and through this section
causing some alarm among those
who experienced it, but the seismic
disturbance. was not q serious One
and it did no damage, except to scare
few timid people.
The shock occurred at $50 O'Clock
and was more distinctly felt at Sum
mcrville. The shock is said to have
lasted between eight and ten seconds
and to have been accompanied by u
slight roaring sound, puff Of wind
and wave motion, the disturbance
seemingly moving from southeast to
the northwest. But few people felt
il.
As stated. the shock was more dis
tinctlv felt in $ummcrvilc than in
Charleston. At the Pinrland resort, y,
il is said to have been attended with
from mantcls. but this WAS an rXccp~
tional ease and while the shock was
more generally felt in Summcrvillc

did the disturbance reach any decided
proportions or cause exits from houses
or any stampede. The shock was

Its Advantages Over Solid Lumber
B Esr Furniture. III sas III @

Its Advantages Over Solid Lumber
ls ksr Furniture. I.
I II the art Of yeneering were not the
extensive art it Is, today, It would be
Impossible for any but the compare
lively few who have a good supply OF
the almighty dollar to possess any fine
articles Of furniture at all. Veneering
is not a new art but the earliest
American binetmakers, although
using 1t to some extent, preferred ass
q rule the solid wood furniture.
Today hardwood trees, such as the
oak, walnut and ash, have been made
more valuable by the invention Of ye-
.neering machinery which will enable
the logs to be sliced up into layers Of
uniform thickness Of less than one
twentieth Of an inch. In the old days
this process was all by hand and was
a slow and 5arduous Undertaking. ~
The advantages Of yeneered wood
are that it win not crack, swell nor
warp in the changes from hot to cold
weather, and IN the case Of doors. for
instance, It makes them lighter and
more easily handled.
For our finest pieces of furniture
the best of. oak, walnut or ash is
used, and it may be seen how much
one Of these trees is worth. Cut into
thin slices, it will give hundreds Of
feet Of veneer. A large walnut tree,
for instance, VIII be made into a large
amount of veneer and is sought by ex-
pert woedsmen. Found III the heart
Of the woods or on some lonely farm,
it is bought by the agent working
for the interests of q veneering com
pany, and ten times as much is paid
for it to its owner as would be for
ordinary lumber.
~ The process includes the emitting and
trimming Of the tree, saving into logs
Of convenient lengths and then the
cooking of these logs. They are boiled
until soft and pliable in a vat Of hot
water or steam. They are then sent
to the veneering machines, where they
are sliced or sawed into pieces from
one-tenth to one-thirtieth of an inch
In thickness, Of absolutely the same
thickness all over. Their soft, pliable
condition prevents them from crack
ing or breaking. .5.s
The cabinet workers then apply
these slices to the articles of furni-
ture, gluing them on with the grain
running in opposite directions and with
no Jennings visible. Instead OF max
Ing a weaker article the surface is
really toughened and hardened by this
crossgrain work, and it may also be
polished to a higher luster than the
solid wood Brooklyn Eagle.
