We can learn much from the various
people of the orient which would be
beneficial to ourselves, and while we
receive from them we are able to
contribute the one great principle OF
the Anglo-SaXon race, namely, liberty.
Every race that has come into power
and prominence has stood for some
great overmasterng idea. That for
which we stand and which Is the great
touchstone of our great national life Is
liberty. 1t is for our nation, as the

Something About the American and

| Husbands are the natural product of
most civilized countries. They are
plentiful in most of the United States
of America.
Although the best husbands In this
country are acknowledged by experts
ITO be indigenous to the soil, those
commanding the highest market prices
are the imported varieties, because
of their expensive labels. The Crown

The husband is wary and elusive

immune to his charms; after which he
may be easily caught anywhere in

cum, golden locks and fiattery.
There is tradition to the effect
that the earliest husband-catcher was

AgeIng Timber.

Timber IS now seasoned electrically
1t is placed In solution of boraN
resin and carbonate of soda, IN a
large tank connected with an electric
current. The effect of the current is
to make the sap rise to the top of the
bath, while the solution enters the
pores of the timber The process lasts
for seven or eight hours and then the
wood is died. Timber may be sea
soned In this way In few days, and
Is equal to that which has been stored
