The very finest of doors are made nowadays of veneer on a body of pine. Even when made of mahogany or some other costly wood doors have to be ve neered. The body of the door is made of a plain, straight grained mahogany, while the surfaces are veneers of fine wood. In the finest doors tbo body is made of selected white pine, free from sap and perfectly seasoned, which is cut in to narrow strips and then glued to gether. The outer edges of this door are faced with what is called a veneer, but which is really a strip of the fine wood half an inch or more in thickness. The inner edges of the frame, by the panels, are covered in the same manner with thick strips, in which the ornamental moldings or carvings are made and which are grooved to receive the panels. This built up frame of white pine, with edges of the fine wood, is then veneered with the fine wood. In some lighter doors the panels may be of solid mahogany, but in fbe finer, larger and heavier doors the panels also are made of sheets of white pine with a veneering of the fine woqd, so that the entire door is veneered. It would be difficult, if not impossi ble, to procure at any cost mahogany lumber in fine and beautiful woods of sufficient size for the larger doors. The built up and veneered door of pine wood, however, has every appearance of a solid door, and, made of selected veneers, it may be more beautiful than a solid door would be. It is more serv iceable and remains longer perfect. Its cost is about half what a solid door .would cost.—New York Sun. WASHINGTON RELICS. Article* of Priceless Worth Kept In tlic National Museum. One of the most interesting relics in the National museum at Washington is the camp chest used by Washington throughout the Revolution. It is a com pact affair about the size of a tourist’s wicker chest for cooking of the present day, 2% feet long, 2 feet wide, 1 foot high, anfedt contains an outfit consist ing of tinder box, pepper and salt boxes, bottles, knives, forks, gridiron and plates. Every bit of the outfit save one bottle, which is broken at the shoulder, looks strong enough to stand another campaign. Near by are the tents used by Wash ington—three in number. One is a sleeping tent, 28 feet long, with walls 6 feet high and a roof with a 6 foot pitch. It is made of linen. The other two are marquee tents of smaller size, one with walls, the other a shelter tent open on the sides. That the tenting ma terial of Revolutionary days was good stuff is proved by the excellent condi tion of these tents, which sheltered the great commander through all his severe campaigns. Here also is Washington’spmfonn, worn by him when he mission as commander of tne army, at Annapolis in 1788. It consists of a big shadbelly coat of blue broad cloth, lined and trimmed with soft buckskin and ornamented with broad, flat brass buttons; buckskin waistcoat and breeches. The size of the garments (which are in a state of excellent pres ervation) testify to the big stature of the Father of His Country and sug gest that he had an eye to a fine ap pearance in his dress. Washington Post. Factorlen Without Chimneys, The statement that a chimney, the third or fourth tallest in the world, has just been completed at a cost of $53,- 000,- and the announcement that the most f ratifying success has attended the use of forced draft, without any chim neys whatever out of the ordinary, ap. pear in contemporary journals. The ex- of forced draft gives promise df great economy in fuel, as well as doing way with the expensive and un ornamental chimney. The draft arrange ment consists of a large fan, which is connected with a 4 by 4 double cylinder engine. The fan has a wheel 54 inches in diameter and runs at almost any rate of speed desired. The draft is something prodigious and makes it possible to em ploy fuel of a lower grade than any heretofore used. Instead of the best Cumberland coal, a mixture of Cumber land and screenings has been tried. The cost of operating the fan, even with im perfect apparatus, is something like SBOO per annum. The smokestack is scarcely taller than the roof of the building and of less capacity than that heretofore used for such purposes.—New York Ledger. Story of Lincoln. This Lincoln story is told in Short Stories: A New York firm applied to Abraham Lincoln some years before he became president for information as to the financial standing of one of big neighbors. Mr. Lincoln replied as fol lows: Yours of the 10th inst. received. lam well acquainted with Mr. X. and know his circum stances. First of all, he has a wife and baby; together they ought to be worth $50,000. Sec ondly, he has an office, in which there are a table worth $1.60 and three chairs worth, say, sl. Last of art, there is in one corner a large rathole, which will bear looking into. Re spectfully yours, A. Lincoln. Wanted It Altered. Minister (to newly wedded pair)— The married state imposes various du ties. The husband must protect the wife, while the wife must follow the husband whithersoever he goes. Bride—La, sir, couldn’t that be al tered in our case? My husband’s going to be a countiy postman.—Judy. The Bottle Poet. The “bottle post’’ is an Gid institu tion on the south coast of Iceland. Let ters are put into corked bottles, which are wafted by the wind to the opposite ccast. They also contain a cigar or oth-. er tiifle to induce the finder to deliver the letter as addressed. PAY FEES OR SUFFER TIPS THAT MUST BE CIVEN ON THE BIG OCEAN LINERS. The I'aannfer Who Seeks to Evade This System es Mild BlackmalHug Has His Life on Board Made Miserable by tbo Employees of the Steamship. The fee system is more rigidly en forced on a big passenger steamship than anywhere else. It is one of the places where servants demand their fees and tell you the amount that they think you ought to give them. While the waiters at restaurants and hotels expect fees for their services and will hint and may perhaps make it embarrassing for you if they are nnt paid they have not gone so far as t I you that they want a fee and pr< r.bo the amount. Even porters do not do that. They come around, brush your cout -nd hat and run the whisk over your trousers, but it is seldom that they ask yon for any money, let alone a specified amount. On the passenger steamers the stew ards regard their fees as a matter of right as much as the steamship com pany regards your passage money. It is possible to avoid paying the fees, as they are not collectable by law, but the passenger who does not pay them will have trouble in getting his luggage off the steamer, and it would be well for him to keep off steamers afterward where any of the servants of that boat are employed. Tho stewards seejp to have some sort of fee guidebook or black list of passen gers who do not give fees, so that they can make them suffer on future trips. Certain fees are regularly fixed and ex pected, irrespective of the cost of the stateroom or the style in which a man travels, while certain other fees depend on the style. For an ordinaiy passenger there are fees to be given*to the state room, steward, the saloon teteward, the deck steward, the smoking room steward and the barber and bath man. The fee to the steward who looks after your stateroom is about 10 shil lings. The steward who waits on you at the table should receive the same fee. The deck steward, for bringing you an occasional drink and looking after your steamer chair and rugs, expects 5 shil lings, but he will take half a crown. The smoking room steward expects 5 shillings, and if you are in the smoking room a great part of the trip he feels that he is entitled to as much as the stateroom steward or your waiter. A bath every day on the passage can be had for a 5 shilling fee. These rates are fixed by long custom. , The stewards can tell whether or not a man understands the rates and if he will pay at the end of the trip. If they do not think that he will, they give him hints from time to time until they get some assurance on his part that he recognizes the obligation of the fee sys tem. If they think he will not pay, he will have a hard time of it. He will find that his stateroom is not well made up: that he does not get care when he is seasick; that he is served last at the table and does not get the things that he ordered; that the wrong drinks and cigars come to him in the smoking room, and that his steamer chair is con stantly lost. The servants are as effec tive as seasickness in making a man’s trip miserable. These fees are not to be paid until the last day of the trip. The servants very speedily find out at which place a passenger is to get off. If making his first trip, they are pretty sure to know it. It is advisable for him in that case to tell his stateroom steward and hia waiter that he will give them the regu lar fee at the end of the trip if they serve him properly and that if they do not they will not get a penny. If he tells them this in the proper way, hft will get as good service as the man who is well known. The last morning of the trip th estate room steward comes round for his fee. If the passenger does not offer it, the steward suggests that it is customary to give him a fee, and that the regular fee is half a sovereign. If anything lesa is offered him and he thinks he can get a half sovereign by refusing to accept less, he will at once hand the proffered sum back and say in an insolent way that he never takes lesa than the regu lar fee. With many passengers, particularly women, this remark and the tone ex tract the 10 shillings. The saloon stew ard does the same thing. The stewards work in with each other, and if a man succeeds in avoiding the stateroom stew ard the saloon steward will ask him fox both himself and the stateroom steward. As a man cannot get off the ship until it stops, there is no way of escaping these demands, which will be repeated during the last day of the trip until the passenger succumbs.—New York Home Journal.

Much of the artificial coloring of foods is traditional and not meant to de ceive. Thus candies are colored obvious ly to please the eye and add to the at tractiveness of the confectioner’s show case, and likewise butter and mustard are colored with no intent to spoil their purity. "i The average age at which women marry in civilized countries is 98*4 years. Modern Greek pea... :tn exchange* gold and silver wedding ring, and they drink wine from the same cup. Bat the regular ritual of the Greek church or dains that solemn betrothal precedes the actual marriage, in which are utod gold and silver wedding rings blessed by the priest, the gold ring being given to the man, the silver ring to the woman. The form of the espousal is then repeat ed, and the rings are placed on the right hands and then exchanged that no in feriority maybe betokened by the wom an wearing the silver ring and also to indicate a common ownership of prop erty. An Armenian mother usually chooses her daughter’s husband. After all busi ness preliminaries are settled between the families the bridegroom’s mother, accompanied by a priest and two ma trons, visits the bride and gives her a ring in token of espousal, and with this ring the couple are ultimately married. Among the fishing communities very ancient and elaborate rings are used, and they descend as heirlooms from generation to generation. In Japanese marriages arranged be tween very young people the girl re ceives a ring in evidence that the union is binding. In Malabar an old native custom seats both bride and bridegroom on a dais, and a relative washes the feet of the bridegroom with milk and puts a silver ring on the great toe of the right foot. He then hands a gold ring to his kinsman, and a necklace and chaplet of flowers are put on tbo bride’s neck and head.—London Mail Korea*! Seven Wonders. The seven wonders of Korea are: (1) The marvelous mineral spring of Kiu shanto, one dip in which is a sovereign cure for all the ills that human flesh is heir to. (2) The double springs which, though far apart, have a strange, mys terious affinity. According to Korean belief, there is a connection under ground, through which water ebbs and flows like the waters of tho ocean, in such away that only one spring is full at a time. Tho water possesses a won derful sweetening power, so that what ever is cooked therein becomes good and palatable. (3) Tho cold wind cavern, whence comes a never ceasing wind so piercing that nothing can withstand it and so powerful that the strongest man cannot face it. (4) The indestructible pine forest, the trees of which grow up again as fast as they are cut down. (5) The floating stone, a massive block that has no visible support, but, like Mohammed’s coffin, remains suspended. (6) The warm stone, situated on the top of a hill and said to have the pecul iarity of spreading warmth and heat all round it. (7) A drop of the sweat of Buddha, for 80 paces round which no flower or vegetation will grow, nor will birds or other living things pass over it. —Brooklyn Eagle. Saint Norah and the Potato. St. Norah was a poor girl, says the London Punch, who prayed St. Patrick for a good gift that would make her not proud but useful, and St Patrick, out of his own head, taught her how to boil a potato. A sad thing and to be lament ed, that the secret has come down to so fowl Since the highest intellectual and physical life is dependent upon diet— since the cook makes, while the physi cian only mends—should not she who prepares our pies be as carefully trained as he who makes our pills? Certainly whatever may be the knowledge or the ignorance of the serv ant in the kitchen, the mistress of the house, be she young or old, ought to be able, like St. Patrick in the fable, out of her own instructed head to teach Norah how to boil a potato or broil a steak so that they may yield their utmost of rel ish and nutriment. Until she can do that, no woman is qualified to preside over a household, and since few reach adult life without being called to that position in the household of husband, father or broth er, the legend of St. Norah has a wide significance.—Youth’s Companion. The Northwest Indian and His Way*. The Indian of the plains is a far more picturesque individual than his brother or cousin of the coast He does not erect totem poles and has no timber for the purpose if so inclined, but he is suffi ciently spectacular himself without re sorting to grotesque carvings and paint ed wood. His saddle, with its leather hangings and wooden stirrups, is in itself a remarkable aggregation, and when set off with his goods and chat tels tied in bags, rags, strings and straps, the effect is remarkable. He wears the cast off garments of his white brother in such original combinations that he looks like the personification of a secondhand store. Sometimes the adoption of a pair of guernseys as an external covering gives him quite an athletic appearance. He wears his hair in Gertrude braids, and prefers ear rings about the-size of half dollar coins. A mosquito net or handkerchief is his favorite head covering, and if he as sumes a hat it is as an additional and purely ornamental appendage.—Detroit Free Press. Buried at Santiago. “Few students of Napoleonic histo ry,” says the London Chronicle, “are aware that Dr Antomarchi, who at tended upon Napoleon I during hia last illness at St. Helena, is buried in the cemetery at Santiago de Cuba. He had a brother living in that island, and after the emperor’s death proceeded thither and lived at Santiago, exercis ing his skill as an oculist gratuitously among the poor. After his death in 1825 a public monument was erected to his memory in the local cemetery. ” Love In Early Daye. “Yes,” saicfcAdam to Eve as the twi light drew about the aged couple, sof tening their lineaments to a semblance of youth, “how well I remember the day we met!
