SEASON WOOD
 BY ELECTRICITY
Method as Pursued in France De- scrAbed in British Technical Paper-Does Work
 We'll.

The following item from a British technical paper concerns new pro cess of seasoning wood by electricity in France:
 A large tank is filled with solution containing 10 per cent. of borax and per cent. of resin, with just a trace of carbonate of soda. In the bottom of the tank is a lead plate which is electrically connected to the positive pole of the dynamo. The timber to be treated is stacked on this plate. and when the tank has been filed another plate is superimposed and connected to the negative pole of the dynamo. When the current is switched on it passes through the stack of wood between the two plates. and in it's passage 1t is said to deposit borax and resin in It's place, completely filling up all pores and interstices. When the process is completed the timber is re- moved and dried, after which 1t is ready for use. It is claimed that the timber submitted to this treatment. no matter how green it may be, becomes completely seasoned.

straiqht Line Goats.

There is little chance of novelty in the cut of long heavy coats made of double-faced fabrics, says the Dry goods Economist, as the material does not lend itself favorably to fancy out line; therefore, the dominant style is the straight line, full-length cut with large collars, revers and cuffs, with low left-side fastening. The buttons are very large and usually have sug- gestion of color in harmony with the trimming effects of the coat.

SeynOur'S Iurkey.S

Seymour glowered at the great bas- ket on the dining table in his sisters apartment
 "Of course-I am the goat" he read the address printed in his sis ter's dainty hand on the basket -"and of course I have to carry this load up to Goatvillel" He sighed as he thought of the subway and the long trip on this glorious Thanksgiving day Hang it all I wish Jean would forget her philanthropies when she is out of town and not leave turkeys, pumpkin pines and million other things for me to tote around the country"
 John Seymour had run to town un- expectedly. Upon Thanksgiving morn ing. his sister had been as hurriedly called out.
 'Talk about being alone in Lon don,'" Seymour smiled grimly; it isn't a marker on being alone in New York on Thanksgiving day"
 With as good grace as he could muster Seymour swung the heavy bas- ket over an arm to which 1t seemed light and went out to the nearest subway station.
 He waited for train and amused himself by watching a pretty but rather wistful girl. As. she stepped into the train Seymour caught more decided wistfulness-it was in the eyes and lurking in the curl of the lips.
 He sat in the same cross seat with the girl and put his great basket on the floor. In doing so he touched her foot
 I'm sorry!" he apologized and raised his hat.
 For a feeting second the wistful- ness vanished from the girls eyes; then she turned and gazed out of the window
 The train moved on and Seymour watched the crowds on the platforms

The Tamworth hog is not as poF"- lar in the United States as it de- serves. A few pigs of this breed were brought over from Eng,and about 80 years ago, but until the last three or four years it was not regard ed favorably.
 The appearance of the Tamworth is somewhat against 1t. Its rather long head does not impress farmers favorably, and there is a general be- lief that it costs more to bring a Tam worth to maturity, than almost any other type. Experiments show, how ever, that this claim is based mainly on prejudice, for the Tamworth in Canada has proven itself to be an excellent and economical feeder.
 This breed is especially well adapt

The Biting Jaws of a Grasshopper dilute with 200 gallons of water for spraying
 Arsenate of lime may also be pre- pared by boiling two pounds of white arsenic and eight pounds of sal soda in two gallons of water for 15 or 20 minutes, or until the arsenic and soda are dissolved. This constitutes a stock solution which may be kept in 6 sealed jug for long time. When ready to spray. slake two pounds of quick lime, take one pint of the stock solution and mix them both with 40 gallons of water.

 Seymour watched her as he ap. preached. She seemed to hesitate about something and as she hesitated Seymour recognized her. She was the girl who had looked so very wistfully at him in the subway train. She was more attractive than before in a big gingham apron and with cheeks flush ed and hair hopelessly tossed about.
 With tardy remembrance of his manners Seymour turned his eyes away from the alluring picture and would have walked on.
 Are you-looking for-Mrs. Blake ?"
 Seymour turned back Surely she had addressed her words to him there was not another soul in sight.
 Yes, I am," he said, and raised his hat.
 The girl opened the gate and Sey- mour followed her. He felt strangely happy and he knew not why. She spoke again as they went into a tiny dining room.
 Mrs. Blake is not able to get down stairs today and am cooking dinner for her"
 Seymour only looked at her-his eyes alone questioned
 'I am all alone in New York" the girl went on, land when you left your basket in the train-I decided to de- liver it-rather than have it lost. Something told me it was a charity basket!"
 Seymour wanted to say, You are an angel" Instead, he said, 'T was so overjoyed to catch sight of a familiar face-that forgot everything-I, too. am alone in New York-and it's mighty tough"
 Celia Mead repressed her smile. This big man was so forlorn and ap- pealing She thought a moment and Seymour watched delicate flush ap- pear.
 4I have only met Mrs. Blake-but she is so sweet-I feel sure that she would invite you to dinner-if you care to risk my cooking"
 So swift was the light in Seymour's eyes that the color rushed into Celia's cheeks.
 Do you suppose-could I carry her down-or something like that?" he asked quickly.
 A sweet glad smile rewarded Sey- mour.

She is little and frail, but I hardly dared risk carrying her myself. bought few flowers to add to your generous basket and do so want her to see how Thanksgiving everything ooks on the table.

d to bacon, because of its light ehoulder, it's length of side and ten dency to produce a greater portion of lean meat than many other breeds.
 When the Tamworth is crossed on breeds of more fattening tendencies, and with finer bone, say the Berk- shire, it makes an excellent bacon hog. It is claimed by some breeders that the Tamworth is the best bacon hog in existence, but this may be talk en with a grain of salt

Gloves Loosened.

Kid gloves that are too tight should be folded for a short time in piece of woolen cloth that has been dipped in hot water and wrung as dry as pos sible. When the gloves have become warm and damp, they can easily be drawn on the hands. Gloves that have shrunk in cleaning respond readily to this treatment.
