TREES AND LUMBER NOTES. It is said that timber cannot be property seasoned by smoking. The cells of woody fiber are /inly a thousandth of an inch. Some kinds of wood require eight years for effecting seasoning. It is possible in some cases to assist the progress of seasoning by dissolving the sap of wood by immersion in water. The beauty of the birdseye maple arises from the contortions of its fibers. The cause of this peculiarity its unknown. A cubit foot of the best English oak, when green, weighs seventy-one pounds and ten ounces; when season¬ ed, the wood is reduced to forty-three pounds and eight ounces. Experienced lumber men say that in the process of seasoning wood should occasionally be repiled and de¬ cayed or defective pieces removed,lest they infect the others. The durability of wood does not, as some suppose, depend on its weight. Larch, one of the lightest, woods, and locust, one of the heaviest, are alike almost indestructible. it Wind shakes” are circular cracks in a tree separating the different lay¬ ers. They are supposed to be caused hy wind, and greatly injure the lumber made from such a tree.—St. Louis Globe- Democrat. His Praise.

Affected With He»rt Dlw»»« and Give* Up to m»—Saved In a Won¬ derful Way. From (he Press, Utica, If. T. There Is no one better known or respected in the village of Brookfield, Madison Co., Now York, than Mrs. John Fisk, the wife of an old resident and veteran of the war of the Rebellion. In April of this year, Mrs. Fisk lay at death’s door from neuralgia and heart disease, the family physician having recommended her to settle all her worldly a ft airs, as she was liable to be taken at any minute, and Inquiring hear that friends had passed expected at each visit to she away. But Mrs. Fisk, to the surprise of her neighbors and physicians, suddenly began and to mend, and now she Is advanced as strong (76 healthy a woman of her age years) as can be found, old and really The does follow¬ not appear nearly as as she is. ing is her own story of how she was cured. “I consider it is a duty to extraordinary myself and the community to tell of my re¬ covery from what was thought friends by my be phy¬ sicians, my husband and to a fatal Illness. I had long been suffering from neuralgia in its worst form, enduring agonies that only those who have under¬ gone such torments know, until my heart became so affeoted funtlonally and liable or¬ ganically, that the doctor said I was at any time to pass away. He bad done all in his power for me, and I thank him much for his kindness and attention, and believe him to be a good, faithful physician. I could I help was not difiposed to die, however, If it, and he having done all ho could, I felt at liberty to use any other means that held out a chance of life, and determined to try a remedy that had been recommended by a friend who had been at death’s door from rheumatism and heart disease, but who now is in good health. doubt I have had to "Whatever may as this remedy's efficacy in a dissimilar dis¬ ease, to that from which he had suffered, was dispelled on reading in the Pree) ot a case identical with my own being eured, with name and address of the person who had been so benefited. 8o my husband who now was anxious that I should at once take the treatment, purchased Pills.

First Meeting With Mosquitoes. Two Irishmen, just landed in Amer¬ ica, were eueamped on the open plain. In the evening they retired to rest, and were soon attacked hy swarms of mosquitoes. They took refuge under the bed-clothes. At last one of them ventured to peep out, and, seeing a firefly, exclaimed in tones of terror: “Mickey, it’s no use; there’s one of the craythers searching for us wid a lantern.—Pearson’s Weekly. Pvoflts 300 <« 500 Per Cent. The sewing machine, one of the greatest blessings in tbe way of ma¬ chines ever offered the public, sold for years at sixty dollars in the United States. The same machine, however, to be shipped to a foreign land, could be purchased below twenty dollars. After the patents ran out the price fell rapidly until now sewing machines are sold for twenty-five dollars and of¬ ten below twenty dollars. The sewing machine manufacturers became im¬ mensely rich from their profits of sev¬ eral hundred per cent. It has been estimated that typewriting machines cost less than twenty dollars to build, while they sell for from fifty dollars to one hundred dollars each. It is generally understood that an agreement exists whereby these high prices are maintained. Business men are compelled to pay from three hun¬ dred to five hundred per cent profit or go without the machines. Are there any other machines which yield such profits as the sewing ma¬ chine did for years, and the typewrit¬ ing machine has and does, except it be the bicycle? Avoiding Publicity. “I cannot longer keep the wolf from the door,” he sighed, his head sinking dejectedly upon his breast. Thus he sat until his wife came and kissed his throbbing temples and sought to cheer him. “Perhaps the wolf will go around to the back door,” she whispered.

A CREAT FORTUNE INCREASED $55, 000,000 IN NINE MONTHS. Standard OJ1 Magnate Leads the World lit Kapid Money Making—He Now Han to His Credit #«44,OOO f OOO—Wealthiest Man on the Globe—Some Figures. A two-line paragraph on the finan¬ cial page of a morning newspaper, says a New York correspondent, makes this announcement: ‘‘Standard oil certifi cates yesterday sold for 300, the high¬ est price yet reached.” There may not seem to be anything wonderful in that, but, nevertheless, it means that in the past nine months one man’s fortune has grown just $55, 000,000, and in the past three months just $20,000,000. A million dollars is a stupendous sum, but when it comes to adding $20,000,000 to one’s fortune in three short months it is an achieve¬ ment beyond the comprehension of the ordinary mortal, who finds it a Hercul¬ ean task to make a bare living. The little paragraph had a still more potent meaning, and that is that the wealth of John D. Rockefeller has now reached the sum of $244,000,000, and, furthermore, is increasing at the rate of $1,500,000 a month, or $50,000 a day, or $2083 an hour, or $34.50 a minute, or 57 cents every second of time, day and night, Sundays and hol lidays. Rockefeller eight and John D. sleeps one-half hours every night, retiring at 10.30 and rising at 7. Every morning when he gets up he is $17,705 richer than when he went to bed. He sits down to breakfast at 8 o’clock and leaves the table at 8.30, and in that short half hour his wealth has grown $1041.50. On Sunday he goes to church, and in the two hours that he is away from home his riches have grown $4106. His nightly amusement is playing the violin. Every evening when he picks up the instrument he is $50,000 richer than he was when he laid it down the previous night. These little facts give some idea of the re¬ lentless growth of this man’s fortune. The average great millionaire is con¬ tent if his wealth is so invested that i,t will bring in 6 per cent. Many are content with 3 per cent., but the Rockefeller riches earn more thau 7 per cent. That part of it invested in the Standard Oil Company earns 12 per cent, based upon a $300 value of the shares. The par value of the cer¬ tificates is $100, and they are now paying dividends at the rate of 36 per cent, per annum. The belief that they will soon pay 40 per cent, is the cause of their recent appreciation. Just how Mr. Rockefeller’s fortune jumped $20,000,000 in three mouths is easily explained. He owns 500,000 shares of the Standard Oil Company, or a trifle more than one-half of the total capitalization. The par value of these is $50,000,000. In February last the certificates were sold at $260. At this figure his holdings were worth $130,000,000. To-day, at $300, they are worth $150,000,000. Last August Standard Oil certificates were sold at $190. At this figure his holdings were worth $95,000,000, or $55,000,000 less than they are to-day. Jay Gould achieved world-wide fame as a money maker. When he died he left $72,000,000, and the world stood aghast at the wonderful achieve¬ ments of the man—$72,000,000 in forty years, almost. $2,000,000 a year! Bnt here is a man whose wealth has grown at the rate of $6,000,000 a month, and the outside world scarcely dreams of it; a man who earned his first quarter of a dollar hoeing pota¬ toes on a Tioga County farm, in the upper part of this State, a man who thirty-five years ago did not have $1000 to his name. Rockefeller’s wealth is not all locked up in the Standard Oil Company. He has nearly a solid $100,000,000 in vested in many enterprises of vast magnitude. In real estate he has tied up $15,000, 000; in steamship lines, $2,000,000; in iron mines, $15,000,000; in bank stock, $8,000,000; in natural gas stock, $4, 000,000; in manufactured gas stock, $3,000,000; in mines in Western States, $5,000,000; in Government bonds and miscellaneous securities, about $12,000,000, and in cash, about $2,000,000. All of the figures just given are ap¬ proximate, as the securities are con¬ stantly fluctuating, and the incessant flow of income necessitates new in¬ vestments. A total estimate, how¬ ever, of $244,000,000 can be regarded as conservative. His fortune may be greater by $10,000,000, but it is hardly less than the figure just given. This places John D. Rockefeller at the head of the millionaires, not only of this country, but of the world. At one time it was said that Li Hung Chang was worth $500,000,000, but this was proven a great exaggeration, the noted Chinaman not owning property worth one-fifth of the sum. There is one important question connected with the fabulous growth of Jfiis man’s fortune, and that is—What will it amount to in the next twenty years, should Mr. Rockefeller live that long? Hoses Among the Ancients. The ancients, in order to enjoy the scent of roses at meals, had an abun¬ dance of the fragrant petals rained down upon the guests. Heliogabalus, in his folly, carried the matter so far that the cloud of blossoms he ordered shaken down over one of his banquets actually suffocated some of his friends. The Romans, during their meals, re¬ clined on cushions stuffed with rose leaves, or made a couch of the leaves themselves. The floor, too, was strewn with the lovely blossoms. Cleopatra, at an enormous which expense, procured roses for a feast she prepared for Anthony. They were laid two cubits thick on the floor of the banquet room, and nets were then spread over the fragrant bed to give au elastic footing. HARMONY IN* STRIPES. Two Great Musical Organs Being Bl&uxoy a Man In Sing .Sing. In the State prison at Sing Sing a convict is engaged in building two large organs for the two chapels—one Protestant, the other Catholic—which will occupy the first floor of the new administrative building. This man was an organ builder by profession be for he entered the prison, understand¬ ing every detail of the instrument from its designing to making its most deli¬ cate part. He learned the trade in Canada, and has worked at every branch of the business there, in Eng¬ land and in this country. He seems to be an enthusiast in his profession, is a perfect encyclopedia of informa¬ tion concerning all the great organs of the world, and is particularly well ac¬ quainted, from personal experience, with every joint and pipe of the great organ of St. Paul’s Cathedral in Lon¬ don. Warden Bagh does not care to have the names of the inmates of the insti¬ tution under his charge made public in cases like this of the organ builder. The man is skillfully and industriously performing a valuable piece of work for the Btate, and it is proper to respect his desire not to have his identity and present unfortunate cir¬ cumstances advertised. Sufficient to say that he is working out in prison another of those wonderful specimens of ingenuity and talent on the part of a prisoner of which there are so many on record. Upon being conducted by a prison officer into the little worksbip located in the annex to the big administration building, the visitor is met by the or¬ gan builder, who, guessing that he has to deal with a reporter, proceeds at once to explain willingly and clearly the meaning and use of the various parts of the organs that occupy every available spot in the apartment. It is estimated that it would have cost the State $3100 to have had the organ for the Catholic chapel built in the ordinary way. The actual cost to the State for raw materia! to build both instruments will amount to about $260. The saving on both instruments will be about $5900, that being the differ¬ ence in cost of similar ones if built for its use at an outside manufactory. The organ for the Protestant chapel will be completed in September next; that for the Catholic chapel in July, 1898. T here is no fear that the builder will be unable to complete both instru¬ ments, so far as bis time is concerned, for, as he says, he could build an or¬ gan for each of the other two prisons of the State before bis term of impris¬ onment expires, that date being Octo¬ ber, 1900. The work on these instruments is en¬ tirely done by this one man; he has a helper, another prisoner, who, he says, is a handy fellow, but he is not an organ builder, consequently every¬ thing, from the original designs down to the smallest detail of the thousand and one articles that go to make an organ, all are originated, developed and executed by the brain and bauds of this man, who certainly must have come within the dark shadow of prison life through some strange chain of ad¬ verse circumstances.—New York Tri¬ bune. He Held; Up a Train Single-Handed. James True, the train robber, is in jail. He is accused of holding up a train single-handed. The charge againsi him was made by the United States authorities for the reason, as alleged, that he robbed a mailear. The offence woe committed last win¬ ter at Uintah, Utah. Newspaperread ers will remember about the holding up of a train at that place, the robbery of the mail and express cars and the terrorizing of the passengers. At first it was declared that a large hand oi masked men had attacked the train and that hundreds of shots were fired to create the impression that there was a small army of robbers. After it was all over, however, it was ascertained that the deed was the work of one man. He had gone swaggering through the train and alongside of it crying out ordei-s to his “men,” ac¬ companying each order with a vicious oath and a pistol shot. The trainmen and the passengers concluded that a baud of robbers had surrounded them and were lying along¬ side the railroad track ready to send a volley of rifle bullets into the train at the command of the leader. The rob¬ ber is said to have secured a lot of rich booty from the mail car, bnt he was unable to get into the safe of the ex¬ press car, and contented himself with small articles. A hot search was immediately made for the robber through the mountains about Uintah, but without success. Sheriffs, constables and detectives finally abandoned the search, but Uncle Sam’s men never grew weary, and it is claimed that a strong case has been made against True. —Sacramento (Cal.) Bee. The Art of Hill-Climbing. Hill-climbing is an art which can¬ not be mastered all at once, and re¬ quires practice and perseverance. The best way for the cyclist is to start at a steady, moderate pace, and climb as far as possible without undue exhaus¬ tion, walking the remainder of the distance. Gradually it will be possible to climb further and further before dismounting, until the hill is taken with ease. The “clawing,” or ankle motion, greatly assists hill-climbing, and should be acquired as soon as pos¬ sible. An Engineering Feat. Working plans for a tunnel to con¬ nect Sicily with the mainland of Italy, under the strait of Messina, are on ex¬ hibition at the University of Pavia. A tunnel is thought more feasible than a suspension bridge, as the narrowest part of the strait is two miles wide, and the least span psssible, 10,500 feet, is considered dangerous on ac¬ count of the prevalent high winds. lf«r Money’s Worth.
