PREPARE FOR REST.
Tlie Money Getter HIion 1 c) Tulio Time to
learn Mow to lie n Wine Npemler.
Tliero is n time in men’s lives when
they need to learn how to work; tliero
is a timo for somo men when they
need to learn how lo stop working, or
nt least how to find enjoyment in
other than their usual money making
Occupations. In a well ordered life
Ihero is through its wliolo term a duo
allowance of hours for labor and
hours for recreation and improvement.
The man, instead of becoming absorb
ed in his business, lo the neglect of
everything else, interests himself in
works of humanity, joins social or
ganizations, where he makes friends
and lays the foundation for the enjoy
ment of the days of leisure that arc to
come. Whether he bo rich or poor,
the time will conic when lie shall lie
too old to work; when he shall lie
compelled to give up his daily occu
pation and find employment, for his
mind at least, in charitable work, in
reading or in social enjoyment.
One might suptioso that any man
might ho (lualilied for this without
special training or preparation, but
this is not the cane. Too great absorp
tion in business uffuira for many years
unfits a man for other occupation; he
becomes the slave of work, and can
find no leisure. When he seeks to re-
liru he finds himself pursued by the
demon of unrest, and either passes a
miserable existence or resumes work
at an age when ho is fairly entitled to
rest. The man of largo means who
thus finds himself enslaved is no bet
ter oil’ than his poor brother who, hav
ing readied an ago when he should
retire, is compelled by poverty to con
tinue his labors. I t is desirable, there
fore, that the prosperous business
man who finds his chief delight w hile
in the prime of life in the daily round
of cares and excitements incident to
trade should limit the horn's given to
Huch labor mid seek other associations
mid other occupations during the
hours of leisure. Then when the timo
comes for him lq give up business ho
may gradually increase tlio timo given
to rending, to self improvement, to
works of charity or public improve
ment, and finds couui enjoyment in
these, lie is no longer a slave, hut
has earned and enjoys his freedom.
The man who has no Imbhy outside
of his daily occupation, who permits
himself to bo wrapped up in selfish de
signs in money making, may uchievo
his single purpose, that of acquiring
wealth, but if lie should have no
means of using it, ho will find in it no
enjoyment. The business limn knows
very well that there is oftentimes a
great difference between the intrinsic
valuo of a given article and its com
mercial value. If he cannot use it or
dmposo of it in a profitable way it is of
no value to him. Precisely the Buttle
tiling is true of the wealth he is so
earnestly striving to gain. It bus in
trinsiu valno, hut unless ho can make
profitable uso of it (apart from mere
accumulation) it will bring him no
enjoyment, lie needs to learn how to
fpend money us well n-s how to make
it, and ho cunnot learn how to spend
all in one lesson after devoting 11 life
time to the othor study. LIo cannot
givo up tho best years of his manhood
to selfish pursuits mid then nt u given
moment retiro from business and ho-
gin to associate with his fellow men
in literary, art. charitable, religious,
and other social organizations, lie is
not fitted by training or inclination
for such company or such occupation
of his mind and energies, llets like
a stranger in a foreign land, unable
to understand tho language of the peo-
plo or to make his own intelligible to
them. He must pass a solitary exist
ence or return to i 1 is own country.
This is tho punishment meted out to
those who selfishly pursue money get
ting without giving any attention to
their social duties. O11 tho other hand,
the successful business man who,
while diligently following his occupa
tion, keeps in close sympathy with tiis
follow men, joining them in'social or
ganizations, helping to promote tho
advancement of mankind, and assist
ing in works of benevolence and char
ity, is a citizen of tho world, speaking
all languages. When he shall reach
an old ago ho will not find himself
amoug an alien people, hut with
friouds, with abundant occupation for
iniud and heart outside of business,
and with contentment, accompanying
wealth, that is n real value to him be
cause ho is prepared lo inuko good uso
of it,—Baltimore Sun.

Tho. revival of the screen in our

in castle establishments. Screen's
then wore often hung from a hori
zontal bar or red, winch was so con

An Invention Which Will Add to tlio
IteAiitjr of rialn Wood* lor Fancy Work.
For a long time manufacturers of
veneers have been trying to Secure a
fancy grain from straight grained
wood. Of course,, the more wavv and
intricate the line of the grain is, the
more valuable is the veneer. A meth
od has at last been secured of produc
ing fancy veneers from plain wood.
To understand the now process one
must first know what tlio old one was.
It was simple enough. A log seven feet
ig or less and 01 almost any dinme-
long or less aim 01 utmost uny
ter above seven inches had its hark
chipped oil' and was then steamed
overnight in a tank made for the pur
pose In the morning it was ready to
lie fastened into the big lathe, and a
knife blade as long as the longest log
used—seven feet—was kept pressed
against the wood so as to cut oil'
a shaving or ribbon about one-
thirtieth of an inch thick ns the
log revolved toward it. Two men
rolled up Mho ribbon and carried
it away ns it was turned out. Of
course the knife had to bo set parallel
with tho axis of tho log or the wood
would not nil he cut tip, and so, if the
grain of the wood were straight, the
the ribbon could not lnivoa vnriegntod
appearance, even had the long, straight
knife out the grain at an angle.
The inventor of the new process no
ticed that the growth of 110 two dill'er-
ont years in a tree had exactly the
same color and grain, even when the
log was perfectly straight grained. So
if a knife were made that would strip
off a ribbon that dipped in and out
through the growth of say two
years, tho ribbon would have two
kinds of grain, To get the ribbon
the inventor made a knife with a
wavy edge. The waves were a quar
ter of an Inch high. However,
this did not produce a sufficient
variety in tho grain of the ribbon to
suit I.I10 inventor, and he added to it
by giving the knife an oscillating
movement in the direction of tho
length of the log by a earn of a half
inch stroko. Now, if the log revolved
aguinst the knife 11 ribbon was cut
which contained waves that zigzagged
ii]i and down and exposed a grain not
only variegated in color by the vary
ing depths totwliich thokni'fo had cut,
lml which whs nt tho sumo t ime very
wavy, if not curly, in appearance.
The variegations in' the color oven of
a plain black walnut log wore remark
able and beautiful.
There was 0110 objection to this re
maining, and that was that it did not
lio down fiat 011 the surface to which
it was glued. This was remedied,
however, by stacking up the ribbon in
a hydraulic press that squeezed it with
a pressure of forty tons to the square
inch. It. came out of that press fiat.
At present three kinds ol knives are
used in these machines. Tliero is no
telling what new forms of knives will
bo invented. Thomtiehine itself is but
littlo more expensive than tlio old
style, hut a knife costs several times
as much. Besides, when a knife gets
dull a limn 1ms to labor over it for a
month with emery wheels to get it in
order again.
When a reporter was looking nt one
of the machines in East Eighth street
the other day it was cutting a plain
log. The superintendent of tlio works
stud that tho product would bring
$22.50 per 1,000 Square feet, against $0
per 1,000 were u straight knife used.
The corrugated knife, ns it is called,
will improve tho appearance of a grain
that is naturally variegated to some
extent, but when the grain is found
that is Just right nothing is so good us
the old fashioned straight edged blade.

Church mat rou|>l<>.
Wo hoar a grout deni nowadays
about the diminished attendance at
church. As a matter of fact, wo sus
pect that there is in most communities
us largo a proportion of church goers
as in the more devout past times with
which such damaging comparisons
are often made. However that may
he, 0110 thing is true: wo do find a ten
dency in this duy to think of churches
as a sort of .Sunday lyceums. We are
a good deal in tlio habit of going to
church with the object of being enter
tained by the preacher.
Perhaps the neglect of tho worship
idea may account, in part at least, for
the difficulty of tilling our Protestant
churches. The EonmuisU gather great
congregations at all hours and in all
weather. It is not by offering pulpit
attractions., hut by pressing the obliga
tion of worship. Wo may sneer at it
as superstition. A slight infusion of
tho same sentiment would be whole
some for many Protestant Christians.

Give Tour Son a Gun When He Under
stand. Handling It.
By all means let the boys have their
rillo and shotgun, furnish them a
reasonable amount of ammunition and
pay their license to shoot, if we ever
come to that protective measure. IIow
else can the boy learn to shoot? If I
had my way every boy and every
girl should learn to shoot, even though
they never killed alone a single head
of game. It is not tho extinguishing
of tlio vital principle of either bird or
beast for which men go afield, and the
game butcher should never he classed
os a sportsman.
The rifle uinl revolver are weapons,
the use of which demand physical con
ditions never found in the indolent,
effeminate or tho dissolute. They arc
weapons for men and women not for
dolls of either sex. If every boy and
girl were early taught tho uso and
abuse of firearms tho death rate from
accidents caused by carelessness would
ho reduced to a minimum; the num
ber of corner loafers, cigarette smok
ing, round shouldered, delicato boys
and girls a filiated with corsets, nerve
tiro and lieuduchcs would decrease in
direct proportion to the increase of re
cruits to the army of those now enjoy
ing such sport.
And wlmt is to hinder? Any one of
a half dozen American manufacturers
tTinl:*i rifles sufficiently light for ladies
mid hoys to use; prices nro such that
any one of moderate means can own
the very best', accuracy is misur-
passed; and ammunition, tlmt is tho
22-calibot- cartridges, which arc plenty
largo enough for all ordinary range,
is very cheap. But, alas! fickle fash
ion has decreed that tho girl child
shall bo a woman before reaching wo
manhood, and must never condescend
to mingle in manly sports unless tlio
thin voncor of fosliionablo polish
should ho marred. Fathers forget
they woroover boys and wautedugun;
or, being without desire that way,
compel their boys to think as they do,
or to use weapons surreptitiously.
No! givo tho boys a chance, mid tho
girls too.
Lot tlioso parents who nro not
sportsmen and nro blessed with chil
dren imbued with such instincts, take
the timo and trouble to learn tho art
themselves and instruct their boys and
girls. My word for it, such children
will love yctf with a deeper intensity,
will spring to obey your commands
with a hotter grace, for has not their
father, their ideal of all that is good
and great, associated himself with
them in their play? And where is
there a normal child who would not
rather associate with his father than
with any other companion?
You, who yourselves love tho gun,
do not, I lieg you, think it u boro
to guide tlio youngster in tho
paths you lovo so well or think
it ti resot no to initiate him in tlio mys
teries of an art fascinating uliko "to
young uml old. Bear in mind your
own youth, and your heart would
have gone out to any 0110 who would
lmvo taken timo uml trouble to help
you become a good shot.
Our boys and girls tiro to bo tho fa
thers ami mothers of other hoys and
girls, and how can wo mold tlio gen
eration of those who shall take our
places unless wo now stand spoil sore
to the sports as well ns to other edu
cational advantages, and where is t here

A Hltttorlo Wooden Leg.
A celebrated wooden leg has been
discovered in uti old Vincennes shop,
which was oneo a smithy. There is

"Bring 1110 buck my leg which you
have shot ofl’ mid you shall have my
keys.” The wooden leg now found
had been sent by Duumesnil to a Vin

the general expressed it. Before tho ar
ticle was sent hack the old warrior
died suddenly, and ihc sham limb re

Calfoinfa Wild Grapevine*.
A Niles (Cal.) correspondent of The
Rural New Yorker writes: 'flic Yitis
Californica, which is being used for a
resistant stock on which to graft many
varieties, is one of the most picturesque
and beautiful objects on tlio California
liver bottoms and in the ravines.
Very fow writers have spoken of it.
and very fow tourists ever get a
glimpse of the grape in its native
haunts, because it is seldom seen in the
cultivated valleys or near the high
ways of travel. It grows on the La-
gunitas, the Alameda, tlio Sonoma
and tho Sacramento, along the Saii
nas, San Joaquin and Russian rivers.
It is at its best in central and northern
California.
One of the most beautiful examples
of wild grape arbors in tho state is lo
lie seen along the Rio Linda and Chico
Creek, on Gen. Bid well’s farm in
Butte county. Hero, for fifteen miles,
the trees on tho banks are covered
with grapevines, in vast domes, spires,
arches, arbors and columns. These
magnificent vines creep gun banksund
cover piles of stone and ledges of rock.
They cross from tree to tree in leafy
bridges. When in bloom they scent
the air for miles.
In autumn, so abundant are the
small, purple clusters that they seem
to color tho whole forest. After the
leaves and fruit have fallen, the vines,
are still worth admiring study, for
they reveal their labyrinthine intrica
cies, and arc the delight of artists and
photographers even more than during
their leafy luxiiriuuco in summer.
Tho vines seem to have littlo choice
about tlio trees they clamber over.
Tho sycamores and alders, white oaks
and maples aro ull loaded with wild
grapes that in a few years climb to the
tops, and trail back in a thousand
graceful and flowing curves. In tho
Vaca valley sonic of these largo vines
have been grafted to muscats and
black moroccos with entire success.

“This thing of trying to crowd big

Several years ago Miss Kate Field,
the authoress, visited Atchison, says
Tho St. Joseph Herald. While there
she made the ncquaintmicoof a promi
nent business man, who believing Rial
sho bad somo ready money, portrayed
to her tho profit sho would reach by
buying a lot in that city. IIo induced
her to purchase, tlio prico being $3,000.
Sho paid £'.1,000 down and the balance
was to come in payments. It turned
out afterward that tiio lot really be
longed to tho man who induced her to
buy, although I10 hud represented dif
ferently. Tlio editor of The Herald
mot Miss Field in San Diego nearly
two years ago. when sho related the
story of her Atchison purchase, de
scribed tho location of tlio property,
and said sho had received a letter 1’ioni
a friend not to meet the second pay
ment, as tho property was not then and
never had boon worth more than
£1,000, tho amount slio had already
paid. Wo wore requested to investi
,gote the matter for her and did so
We had two of the best reliable men in
Atchison valuo tho property. One
placed the value less than £'.1,000; the
other thought it might be worth £.1.200.
Wdadvised Miss Field to lose the £1,000
she bad paid down rather than pay
the $2,000 yet due. This is the true
story of Miss Field’s real estate deal in
Atchison. The deal was a clear
swindle for which tho city of Atchison
was in no way responsible, but perpe
trated by a man of prominence who
claimed respectability.
A WklKtllnff Tree.
Tlie musical or whistling tree is
found in tho West Indian islands, in
Nubia and the Soudan. It has a pc
culiar shaped leaf, and pods with a
split or open edge. The wind passing
through theso gives out the sound
which gives tho tree its peculiar name.
I11 Barbadoes there is a valley’ filled
with those trees, and when the trade
winds blow across tlie island a con
slant moaning, deep toned whistle is
heard from it. which, in the still hours
of tho night, hus a very weird and un
pleasant effect.
A species of acacia, which grows
very abundantly in the L-'oudtui, is
i^so called the “whistling tree” by tin
natives. Its shoots aro frequently, by
tlie agency of the larval of insects,
distorted in shape and swollen into a
globular bladder, from one to two
inches in diameter. After tin insect
lias emerged from a circular hole in
the side of this 'Swelling, tlio opening,
played upon by tho wind, becomes a
musical instrument, equal in sound to

Fogg entered the car (says The Bos

cupied and the aisle filled with stand
ees. But he was equal to the occasion,
lie shouted with the voice of one hav
ing authority: “Plenty of seats in the

•for the next car. The standing pas
sengers started first of course, but
their were lots of the sitters who want
ed to sit together and several more
who thought by going into tho othei
car they might get two or three seat.-
to themselves. Tlie result was that
Fogg selected one of the vacated seats,
and was deep in his newspaper by the
time the crowd came pouring back,
