How Timber Is Selected.

Timber was formerly selected ac-
cording to its external appearance.
The diameter and length Of the
piece, the straightncss of grain,
sometimes the weight, sut1iccd to
determine both its commercial
value and its destination. The di-
vcrsificd industries of the present
day require a corresponding diversi-
ty in the wood employed. For orc
purpose the important quality is
hardness; for another, elasticity;
for a third, ease Of working or re-
sistance to attack by external
agencies. The compound micro
scope is now used for the minute
and careful examination of longi-
tudlnal and transverse sections Of

Reainnino of MELODY,

Folk song was the beginning Of
what we call melody, and the best
specimens of folk songs arc quite as
perfect within their small range as
are the greatest works of the mas
tiers. Their contour and rhythm
are sometimes as dclicately balanc-
ed as the mechanism of a fine in
strumcnt. And when we remember
that these melodies were the spon-
1aneous utterancc Of simple, untu-
tored peoples, who in forming them
depended almost entirely on in
%stinct, we realize how intimate a
medium music is for the expression
Of feeling. People who could
neither read nor write and who had
no knowledge or experience of arts
tic objects could, nevertheless, Gre
ate perfect works Of beauty in the
medium of sound. - Thomas ".

HISTORIC PENS.
Those Used In Signing Peace Treaties
Are the Most Sought.

The collecting of historic pens
has been quite a fad for some years
past, especially in Europe. The
pens with which peace trcnties are
signed bring the highest prices if
they happen to find their way into
the market, and there are many COL
l%ectors who would be willing to give
thousands Of dollars for the pen
which shall declare an end to the
present war Of wars. Usually, how
ever, such pens remain the property
OF the states concerned.
When it became known that
peace had been declared between
Japan and Russia pen manufacture
ers all Owe the world sent supplies
Of their pens to the commissioners
who were engaged in arranging the
terms, hoping that the document
would be completed through the
agency of their wares. To avoid
any unfair discrimination between
the pen manufacturers it was de-
cidcd to use a quill in signing the
treaty.
1t was also a quill pen that was
used in signing the treaty Of peace
between the United States and
Spain after the wal Of 1898. This
particular pen was afterward sold
for 1925.
The pen used by the commission
ers in signing the memorable treaty
Of Paris fell into the hands of the
former Empress Eugene. Aside
from its historic interest, it is also
Of great value, for it is mounted in
solid gold and incrYstcd in dia-
monds.
Aside from the collectors there
arc many who consider it lucky to
possess a pen that has been used
in signing the reprieve of a person
condemned to death. Applications
for pens that have performed such
service r often made to the gov
c1nors of states. Queen Victoria
always retained possession of such
pens. One Of these she presented
to Nine. Albani, the singer.
Pens which have been used by
famous authors often fetch high
prices at auction. Dickens used the
same Quill pen to write "IIard
Times" "Little Dorrit' and "Blcak
House," which was sold some time
ago for $17.
A valuable pen is the one which
Lincoln presented to a friend just
before his death. 1t was made from
a portion of a box which belonged
to George Washington, while the
box itself had been made from the
lid Of the desk belonging to the
captain of the Maynower. - New

Dyinq In Harness.

Lord Redcsdale in his reminis-
cences Of King Edward VII. relates
the following of that monarch's last
DAYS:
Gil as he was when he reached
Buckingham palace, he worked with
all his accustomed energy, and on
the Wednesday, when II of the
permanent heads Of the civil service
was with him, he was seized with
one of those terrible choking fits of
coughing. When he got better his
visitor vcntured to demonstrate with
him and begged him to rest and
even to go to bed, but he ridicxlled
the idea and said:
"'No; | shall not give in. l shall
work to the end. Of what use is it
10 be alive if one cannot work?'"

Getting on In Business.


In the Woman's Home Compan-

business man on the reasons why

ANY man or boy who enters

just where he started ought to take
himself to pieces and find out what
the trouble is.
Salaries aren't fixed by favorit-
ism in business, or if they arc they
don't stay fixed very long.

At this instant he heard an ex-

to look into the glowing eyes Of the
rosy girl he wanted to know, the
girl Of the box party.
She had caught the child up in
her arms, laughing and crying 81

she was the "Aunt Mollie" for

his hat.

Over Conscription
CABINET IS CRITICISED

LONDON May 3.
Despite violent opposition on the part OF
labor leaders in Parliament, the Govern
ment will push its efforts to extend con-
scription to all men of military age forth
with.
The announcement by Premier Asquith
that new military service bill extending
conscription would be introduced in the
House of Commons this afternoon con-
tanned the promise of stormy scenes, and
great crowds flocked into the spectators
galleries. filling them to overflowing. There
Is no doubt of the fact that the Asqulth
Government, against which severe attacks
have been leveled since the early days of
the war, is now getting its supreme test
of strength.
It was necessary to introduce the bill
under adverse circumstances, for the Gov
ernment is being criticised for it's leniency
in Ireland and for the reverses suffered by
the English forces in Mesopotamia.
The introduction of legislation as un.
popular as the conscription bill is In many
quarters, does not tend to strengthen the
position of the Government in the eyes of
its critics.
Although the country has 5000, 900 men
under arms. the War ONCE insists that
this is not enough. Every available fight
ing man must be recruited before Lord
Kitchener, the Secretary of State for War,
will be satisfied
1t is estimated that he new conscription
bill, IL enacted into law, would increase
the British army by about a quarter of a
million men.

These expressions are considered sig

demand for the unconditional release of
the men seized on the ground that none
of the British arguments in favor of their
