AN OFFICIAL ACT.

Margaret Brown came one day into
the Office Of a government official III
Chicago. She was from Massachusetts
says a writer in the Chicago Tribune
Her son had come to Chicago some time
before to seek his fortune.
But fortune had not favored Mar
garet's son, and he soon wrote home
for fifty dollars. 1t was sent him.
Then followed another hard-luck story,
and another fifty was sent him. third
time Ed asked for nifty dollars. This
was more than the mother could en-
dure, and full of misgivings and fears,
she picked up a suit case and started
for the West to make Investigations.
But where in Chicago was Ed? She
had but one address-general delivery
and countless people get their mai
there How could she find the elusive
son among the thousands who daily
cross the great rotunda?
She would stand there and watch for
him. He might come in the morning.
he might came in the evening; he might
come the first day or the third, but
stand there she would till she stood
face to face with the prodigal.
But even for the tedious privilege of
standing there permission had to be
secured hence her call on the official.
The official realized how unpleasant
to a refined woman such an expert
ence would be. He pondered moment
as to how he might keep from break
ing laws and regulations, and yet ac-
complsh the mothers desire in man
ner at least comfortable.
Where are you staying?' he inquir-
ed. after a moments reflection.

paratively worthless tree. but it works
up we'll In veneering, and finds many
uses in the manufacture of furniture
1t can be stained in imitation Of cherry
and other hard woods.
There are two kinds of veneering-
sawed and sliced-but 1t takes an ex.
pert to tell the difference. The process
of manufacture Is simple and interest
Ing. The logs, delivered at the factory
In the rough. about thirteen feet ir
length, are first cooked in hot water
vets to make them soft and workable
1T does not matter how green they
are. After being thoroughly cooked
they are placed on machines designed
for the purpose, and either sliced by q
powerful knife the length of the log or
cut by a circular saw into slabs about
one-twentieth of an inch thick These
slabs are the full length Of the log,
and when first cut are so pliable that
they can be bent double without break
ing. The uniform thickness or thin
ness of the slabs Is preserved by the
action of the machinery, and does not
vary so much as a hairs breadth in the
entire length of the slab.
After the slabs are sliced or sawed
they are seasoned by steaming This
requires only about twenty-four hours,
and then they are ready for the mar
ket. Some of the huge oak logs that
come to the factory show by the rings
in them that the trees were from go
to 400 years old. Washington Herald

Fearless Swim I'M ers.

In the water the IIawaiians are al
solutely fearless. AS soon as they can
walk, little babies are taken to battle
in the sea, and in very short time
they are able TO swim like pOrpoiseS
The author of "Hawaiian Yesterdays
gives a reminiscence of the courage of
the natives:
Our party had arrived in Hlo Bay.
and we were all seated upon the plat
form Of big double canoe, padding
ashore from the schooner which lay
out in the harbor. A throng of natives
lined the beach, waiting to welcome
their returning teachers.
Just as we were entering the SUR
that rolled upon the sandy shore,
through some accident the canoes sud
denly filed and sank. leaving us all
sitting half-submerged in the shallow
water. With a loud roar of "Auwe. :"
(Oh, and AlasD the assembled crowd
rushed as one man into the waves and
bore us safely to land.
On one occasion. about the same
date, a cOaSting vessel was upset in q
violent squall between the islands Of
Hawaii and Maui. Although the near
est land was twenty miles distant. the
native crew and passengers boldly
struck out to swim ashore; and sew
eral of them did come safe To land
after night and day in the deep.
Among the survivors of the wreck
was poor woman who for several
hours swan with her husband upon
her back but the poor man died of
cold and fatigue. and had TO be aban-
doned at last before the coast was
reached

FINE FURNITURE VENEERED.
How Oak Is Used-Imitation Cherr,
Hard Wood.

There is great deal Of so-called
oak furniture sold nowadays" said Eu-
gene J. Hicks. a large part Of this
furniture is veneered. This is partiCu-
larly true of parlor and ornamental
furniture. Coarse and common furni-
ture may be made of solid oak. but
fine furniture Is almost invariably
veneered.
This Is because a much finer finish
can be got from quartered oak veneer
than from the solid wood. The grain
comes out better. and 1t takes a higher
polish. Where strength and durability
are required. the solid wood is used.
