GOOD QUALITIES OF YELLOW PINE.
The Supply Seemingly Exhauctless In the
Southern States.
(New York Tribune.]
In places where wooden floorings or trim
mings undergo severe or constant use, the
valuable southern yellow pine has become
almost indispensable. In ship work its dur
ability has been long acknowledged, but it
is only within a few years that its useful
ness for house purposes has been appre
ciated. In former times it was tedious stuff
to work by hand, but its tediousnoss is now
overcome by improved tools and steam
dressing, and the increased call for hard
pine wainscotings and ceilings that has
attended the active building opera
tions of late has been readily supplied.
No wooden flooring that is used bare is su
perior to narrow strips of Georgia yellow
pine. A well-laid surface of the wood im
proves with ago aud friction, its resinous
quality hardens for it a sort of natural var
nish. Art, too, has recently touched this
sturdy old. timber. Thin dcorpanels are
sawed out of planks containing thick depos
its of rosin. When these panels are placed
in doors.that the sun can strike, the effect
produced is a rich, red wine color, showing
inside the room. There is a process of arti
ficially seasoning pine. There is also one of
steaming it, so that the rosin will show uni
formly in the board, but the naturally
veined surfaces are handsome enough when
properly smoothed.
The supply of this timber seems exhaust
less. A large fleet of schooners and other
craft is devoted exclusively to its transporta
tion from Virginia, North and South Caro
linas, Georgia, and Florida. The latter
state is renowned for the long boards that
are cut from its trees. Georgia owns the
standard of quality, but any untapped stock
rates high. Trees from which the pitch has
been partly removed in the manufacture of
turpentine, turn out lighted wood, but such
cuttings have not the wearing merit of saw
ings from virgin trees. Since the war,
owing to better railroad facilities, large
tracts of now forests have been opened to
commerce. Europe, especially England, is
a large buyer of this wood. Its excellence
in railroad work on account of toughness
and comparative lightness, is becoming
recognized abroad as well as in this country.
When yellow piue vessels become dis
masted or capsized at sea they form most
dangerous wrecks, and at night are an
especial terror to navigators. Their buoy
ant cargoes prevent them from sinking and
they become, so to speak, a floating reef.
Several abandoned schooners have been
known to drift about the ocean from six to
eighteen months. Not long ago one ap
peared on the coast of France. Captains re
port these drifts to the government. The
government in turn spreads the information,
but the danger is only partly provided
against, as currents or driving winds can
Vary the situation indefinitely.
Capping the Climax.
[“His Honor and Bijah.”]
“Well! well!” exclaimed his honor, as Silas
Gregg shuttled out, “but you are a hard
looking case!”
“That’s it, that’s the way,” whined Silas;
“it’s nothing but abuse wherever I go. They
abused mo in Cleveland, aud I went to Buf
falo. They' abused ma in Buffalo, and I
went to Toledo. They tried to crush me in
Toledo, and I came here, and now you pitch
onto mj the very first thing. Julge, I’m
giing to commit suicide!"
“Don’t—don’t think of it! The future may
have many bright things for you. Do you
know the charge against you here?”
“Probably murder. Shouldn’t be a bit
surprised if it was murder in the first de
gree. ”
“Not quite so bud as that, Silas. The
charge is vagrancy. You have no home—
no friends—no cash down in your pockets.
You bag your provisions, borrow your lodg
ings and neither weave nor spin. In short,
you are a solid old vag of the first water.”
“Judge!” exclaimed Silas, as he drew him
self up, “look at me I Doi look like the kind
of a clothes-pin you have been describing?”
“You do, Silas —you do!”
“Weil, that caps the climax! I don’t want
to live a day longer! If a born gentleman—
a gentleman who lias a college education and
a mind full of richness, is set down for a
tramp simply because he happens to have
his old clothes on I want to quit tins cold
world!"
“I’ll make it sixty days, Silas.”
“There you go—just as I expected.”
“And you’ll get scrubbed up, your hair
cut, and feel like a new man before night.”
“Abuse—nothing but abuse wherever I
go!" groaned the prisoner, and he left the
court-room with tears in his eyes.
Need Sanitary fonvs.
[Joe Howard in Philadelphia Press.]
The recent sanitary acts of New York at
tempt to hold in check the mode of building
tenement houses, requiring certain means
of ventilation, and exit, forbidding the fill
ing up of the entire space between the houses
with dwellings, and otherwise seeking to im
prove the condition of such tenement
houses. There only needs two steps further
in im tation of the British lodging-house
acts—one removing altogether the cellar
population when under certain unhealthy
conditions; and the other limiting by law
the number who can occupy a given space in
a tenement room.
The British acts assign 240 cubic feet as
the lowest space admissible for each tenant
or lodger, and if the inspector finds less
space than that occupied, he at once enters
a complaint, and the owner and landlord is
obliged to red uce the number of his occu
pants, under strict penalties. A provision
of this nature in our New York law would
break up the worst dens and scatter their
tenants or lodgers. The removal of the cel
lar population from a large proportion of
their dwellings should also bo made. Liver
pool removed 20,000 cellar-occupants in one
year, to the immense gain, both moral and
sanitary, of the city. New York needs the
reform quite as much. There would be no
real hardship in such a measure, as the
tenants could find accommodations in other
parts of the city or the suburbs, and some
would, perhap-, emigrate to the country.

How an Atlanta Woman was
Made to See and Hear.
AX INTERESTING STORY.
Miss Minnie Walla-e resides wilb Mrs.
George Fickland, 41 McAfee street, Atlanta,
Ga , and from her own lips a Constitution re
porter learned the following story:
Several months ago she became almost to
tally blind and deaf, and could not tasie any
thing exceptsolt. Her bones became the seat
ot Intense pain, her joints were swollen and
painful, and eventually her whole body and
limbs became covered with splotches and
small sores. Her appetite failed, and she
gradually lost flesh aud strength, and had but
little use of herself, as her limbs and muscles
were paralyzed. She, as well as her friends
and those with whom she lived, despaired of
her recovey. Her sufferings, combined with
loss of hearing and taste, and blindness, were
truly heartrending.
All treatment from physicians and the use
of -medicines seemed powerless. Her dis
ease was blood poison and rheumatism.
As she now seemed well and hearty the re
porter asked what wrought such a wonderful
change. , „ ,
“I used a medicine recommended by a
friend,” she replied, "and before one bottle
had been taken I began to see and hear. The
second bottle relieved all rheumatic pains
and improved my appetite. When I had com
pleted the use of six bottles my eyesight and
hearing were fully restored, sense of taste re
turned, and splotches disappeared, sores all
healed, and my strength and flesh restored.
1 now feel as well as I ever did, and my
friends, as well as myself, are astonished.”
“What was the Medicine?” asked the re
porter. „
“Botanic Blood Balm—B. B. B. was the
great remedy that acted so powerfully on my
d isease and cured me. I never experienced
any unpleasant symptoms from its use, and
its action is so quick that it surprises all.”
The reporter then sought a physician who
knew the case, whereupon he handed us the
following lines:
“1 examined the above case of blood poison
and rheumatism, before and after being
cured, and certify to the main facts above
stated, and must acknowledge that the B. B.
B. effected a most wonderful cure in this
well-known case.
