Piles driven by the hut dwellers OF
the Baltic centuries ago are as sound
today as when first placed. The
wooden cofiins In which the Egyptians
buried their dead are still preserved
In perfect condition after thousands
OF years of service.
The longevity OF timber under
these two extremes OF climate and

made people ask--what causes wood

CHANGES HIS MIND.
Preacher Withdraws Request to Have
Wife Sent to Asylum.

PORT HURON, Mich, July Rev
Fred Hurlburt, Methodist minister
OF Jeddo, started fireworks in the pro-
bate court when he asked that his
wife be put in an insane asylum. Fifty
residents OF Grant township were on
hand to testify 10 Mrs. Hurlburt's
sanity. The clergyman, seeing that
things were not breaking smoothly for
him. asked the court TO withdraw his
petition,
"Thatll cost you just s25." said
Judge Graham, whereupon the minis
ter's countenance dropped about 90
degrees.
Hurlburt said that he had no mon
ey, didn't dream for a minute that II
would cost him any, and was glad to
make the proposition 70 withdraw his
petition simply to get out OF it. The
court thereupon informed him that It
does cost money TO send deputies
about the country and get witnesses.
It was finally decided that husband
and wife should meet later in the day,
which they did, and decided TO live
apart from each other.
