Pine Pillows.

Genuine pine pillows" is the legend
which appears in more than one drug
store window-over pile of spruce
tips. The sign makes country boy
smile, but he is quite aware that the
great majority Of city people do not
know the difference between a pine
tree and a spruce or ar or hemlock
tree; all cQniferous trees are pines"
to them-even tamaracks.
In the matter of perfume there is
not much choice between a pine and
spruce. but . FIR pillow Is more
pleasantly aromatic than one either
Of pine or spruce. Pine tips or leaves
are seldom used for pillows The hem
lock makes q good pillow, sut it is
better to use the boughs of 1t, qui,-
green. for q whole bed; break them
small, spread them out good and thick
and put your blanket right on top Of
them. To make use of this kind of a
bed. however. you must be in the
woods.
Time was when the lumberjacks
slept on beds of hemlock boughs-and
they we're healthier and happier than
they are now In stuffy hunks.

FOR SAVING LIFE AT SEA
Danish inventor Seems to Have Some
thing Which Has Merit Be-
yond All Others.

1t Is reported that substitute for
life boats, which has been recon-
mended to several foreign govern
ments, consists of hollow steel globe,
flattened on the bottom and about
eight feet In diameter.
With 1e men inside and supply
of fresh water and provisions it Is
said that this globe draws less than
two feet Of water A 12-inch ventilat-
ing pipe can be raised through the top
Of the globe when it Is afloat. This
pipe can, 1t is claimed, be drawn in
and the opening quickly closed when
desired. A small sail can be raised
with the aid Of the ventilating pipe.
The inventor of this device Is a
Dane He states that he conceived
the idea on seeing an iron water tank
afloat after a terrible wreck in which
several lives were lost.-Popular Elec-

P0RCELAINS OF RARE vALUE
Chelsea 10 Considered the Most v.,,A
able, and 10 Easily the Most
Highly Priced.

The Chelsea is amongst the most
precious OF the early English porce-
lains, and as much as $4,000 has been
paid for really fine Chelsea vase OF
the fourth period. There are, how
ever, many forgeries. The origin of
the famous Chelsea factory has been
the subject of much speculation, but
nothing is proved save that it was at
work In 1745. The earliest authentt
Gated specimen is milk jug of the
well-known goat and bee pattern,

1745.' In 1874 the factory was dis
mantled and the plant and workmen
were removed to Derby. The Chelsea
porcelain may be grouped in FIVE
chronological divisions: Period THE
earliest, bearing triangle mark in
c1sed, with Chelsea above, the ware
being described as of a creamy paste,
not unlike ST. Cloud porcelain, with
satiny texture very transparent body
often distorted in baking, and fire.
Quently left white. Period II-thickly
made. but Of well composed paste of
sandy texture with thick unctuous
glaze of creamy tint, the mark being
an embossed anchor, sometimes out
lined in red and applied on small
oval pad. Period Unusually marked
with an anchor IN red. is strength
ened form Of the second class, which
1t supplanted by its more practicable
nature. Period w (1759-70)-paste
more settled In character, ware whittier
and has lost much Of the soft creamy
appearance Of the previous periods.
Period V (1770-S4)-this was the start
Of the Derby-Chelsea period. The
marks which were no doubt common
to both the Derby and Chelsea fac
tories consisted of a combination OF
the Derby D. and the Chelsea anchor
across the letter, an anchor crowned,
and crowned D. though the old Chel-
sea anchor probably continued In use
for at least part O. the period.

BRIDGES BUILT OF BAMBOO
Experiments Have Shown That Type
Of Construction 10 Easily Built
and Durable.

IN Dutch Java the government en-.
gineers have constructed a road
bridge. more than hundred feet long,
with central span of over sixty feet,
entirely Of bamboo. The roadbed Is
composed of bamboo mating, which is
covered with layer Of dry earth. In
profile the bridge resembles a steel
structure, but all the members are
bamboo rods. 1t Is estimated that
such bridge should be good for ten
or fifteen years
There are two kinds of bamboo used
in building and cabinet making in the
East-one having solid and the other
hollow stems. The solid, seen in Jap.
anese furniture, is much smaller than
the hollow, but both belong to the
same species. In the construction OF
bamboo houses no nails are used. The
parts are bound together with lash.

that she has the good woman's excei
