on Lady Day, the Annunciation OF the
Blessed Virgin Mary.
While the residence has been some
what modernized by the building OF
a veranda and other minor changes,
the structure retains many reminders
of the perilous times. The handhewn
timbers are visible, and there is pre-
served the strong door which opened
into the south end of the house,
against the casing Of which British
officer stood when a Yankee from the
hill on the south bank of White Creek
picked him off with his gun. The
door is In a good start of preservation.
and on it is the massive old lock
which in early days would have prov

to unlawfully enter the building, but
TO the modern house breaker it would
be as a toy. The lock Is ten inches
long by five and a half inches wide
and one and a half inches thick. The
original brass key, six inches in
length is still in position to shoot the
bolt.
In the days which tried mems
souls" the building was used as a
postoflce, and an inn, before 1t be-
came the headquarters for the Brit
ish officers under Colonel Baum. In
those days each inn and tavern keep
er was required to enter into recogni-
zance to the people of the state of
New York in the sum of $50, not to
keep a disorderly house or suffer any
cock fighting, gaming or playing with
cards or dice, or keep any billiard
table or other gaming table or shuttle
board within it. In regard to the sell

made for the sale of metheglin, cur
rant wine, cherry wine and cider made
by the inn-keepers. At each tavern
at least two spare beds, with good and
sufficient sheeting and covering. were

that is reported to have brought SO
many personal disasters In its train
A well-known physician, who is In
terested in Egyptology, was asked
his opinion concerning the strange
case of the mummy of the priestess
that has aroused SO much curious in
terest
Il think" he said, that the mummy
having been torn to pieces, the spirit
of the priestess strives to remain in
contact with the only material thing
that is left in touch with her. namely,
the lid OF the coffin. This Is the
opinion of most occultists. The spirit

ORIGIN OF CHARTERED OAK

There has been in some of the lum-
ber papers quite lot of discussion on
the question of who was the first to
cut quarter-sawed oak and when and
where 1t originated. There doesn't
seem to be any doubt in this question,
but that Indiana is the mother state
of quarter-sawed oak lumber in this
country, but there doesn't seem to be
any general agreement as to just what
place in the state and by whom 1t was
first sawed. There are various claims
running back in date to 1871 and 1872.
This discussion is interesting in that
it brings out some Indiana lumber his
tory, but it would be more interesting
yet if one should go still further back
and find the real origin of quartered
oak. 1t is more than probable that
quartered oak was made primarily be-
cause it would split quartering better
than any other way, and without due
appreciation of the quartered figure.
In the earlier days of numbering, be-
fore the advent of the power driven
sawmill, there was quite common
practice to split oak into slaves Tor
packages, into rails for fences, into
pickets for garden fences, and into
thick slabs for lumber. In this man
ner quartered oak was probably made
as far back as oak has been worked,
but lust when the beauties of the
splash line in quartsred oak figures
were first appreciated and developed,
it is difficult to even guess. It's main
development, of course, has been dur
ing the past thirty or forty years, yet
surely the figure has been appreciated
to some extent long before that and
used in the older countries. Who can
give us any light on the real history
of uuartered oak in furniture and cab
met work k?-Veneers.

Ten Cent Carriage Service in Stockton

STOCKTON SPRINGS, January 18th The first
sleighing of the season brought covered
sleigh upon the streets of the village, an inno-
walton in the local livery business, which leads
one to reflect upon the towns singular good
fortune in this connection. For many years
both Mr. ]. f Lancaster and Mr. W. M. Berry
have supplied service which would have been
credit to place many times the population
OF this. being prepared to furnish the best of
single bitches. surveys, hacks and buckboards.
1t remained for Mr. John Mclaughlin, however
to venture upon an experiment, namely, ten
cent carriage service. which proved of meal
culable convenience to the public and quickly
became very popular. With the assistance of
his two sons he has developed remarkably
successful general business, at present main
tanning five horses and variety of vehicles
The chaise-top sleigh which he has just put on
the street will undoubtedly contribute material
ly to the comfort of those who have occasion
to be out in bad weather. Few men have a
wider acquaintance than Mr.. Mclaughlin, ana
his friends everywhere are pleased to observe
that he has become substantial citizen, enjoy
ing with his family wel-merited success as
the result of strict attention to business for
the past three years.
