Teak Tree* 3,000 Years Old.
The teak wood of Hindoostan la al
most indestructible. The tree reachet
a girth of from 10 to 15 feet and has a
clear trunk of 70 to 80 feet to the firsl
limb. The timber retains its fragrance
to a great age. It is a wonderfully hard
wood, durable and strong, and once
seasoned does not split, crack, warp,
shrink, or alter in shape. In certain
portions of Burmah there is teak 2,00 C
years old. It weighs 40 pounds per
cubic foot. Teak ia used In India for
construction, bridge-making, sleepers
and furniture. It is exported to Europe
chiefly for building railway carriages,
shipbuilding or making decks and
lower mosts and for the backing of
arracr-plates cn ironclads. It is pe
culiarly useful for the latter purpose,
owing to the resinous matter which it
contains and which acfcs as a preven
tive of rust, the wood neither affecting
the iron nor 'icing affected by it.
Entangling Legislation on Patents.
A measure of vast importance to tho
manufacturing and commercial inter
ests of the United States is the act ol
congress authorizing the president to
appoint a commission to revise and
amend the laws concerning patents,
trade marks, and trade and commer
cial names. The law 3, as they exist,
are inadequate to the conditions of tho
day. They are too complex, contra
dictory, and susceptible of great fra*d.
The United States courts, in deciding
causes on the laws concerning patents,
have unintentionally done much to ren
der "confusion worse confounded." It
is to be hoped that the commission will
stamp with its strongest disapproval
the use of "Old Glory" and the Gen
eva Cross for purely business advan
tages. These symbols are almost sa
cred.
Novel Way to Clean Machinery.
The practice of cleaning machinery
by means of blotting paper has been
established in German workshops. The
German workman formerly received on
Jin average 250 grams of cotton waste,
one new sponge cloth and one or two
renovated ones per week; now he is
supplied with 150 grams of cotton
waste and eight to ten sheets of blot
ting paper, at a co3t of 2% cent 3, in
stead of as formerly, 6V4 cents. The
paper is not only cheaper, but it can
not soil the machine with fibers and
dust, like sponge cloth and woolen ref
use, and it Is far preferable to cotton
waste. Beyond this, it is not so com
bustible a3 other cleaning materials.
Electricity Killing OfT File*.
Entomologists report that of lato
years the annual crop of flies Is do
creasing rapidly and steadily. The al
most universal adoption of electric
traction is credited with bringing about
this desirable result. It has been
stated that stables are the chief breed
ing places for flies, and as the street
car horse has been emancipated, the
number cf stables in growing less,

Ce Is Sluiply a Scrub Wolf Hut is a Won
der Nevertheless.
Want is n coyote? A coyote is nlit
tle nnimsit ol the wolf species that ill
habits the foothills of the Kooky
Mountains. Ho is about eighteen
inches high anil long in proportion,
ami is the embodiment of duplicity.
His color is indescribable. He is
neither white nor black nor yellow,
nor any other well-deSued color; bat
a sort of blending of all producing a
hue that can best be described as
coyote. Ho is not beautiful either in
appearance or character. There is
nothing attractive about him. He is
not troubled with conscientious sam
ples; uoither is he brave, and lie won't
tight unless be is compelled to. He
is a scrub wolf in every senso of the
word.
His physical beauty is about on a
par with bis moral aspect. He has a
little, peaked-shaped lieud, in the front
of which, very close together, is a pair
of the brightest, blackest, wickedest,
little eyes that ever shone in the moon
light. He does not appear to possess
any great amount of brains; but
there is more unadulterated cunning
wrapped up in liis hide than cau bo
found in the same amount of space
anywhere elso in creation. Tlio man
who imagines that a coyote does not
understand bis business just because
lie has not n high forehead will soon
learn that the principles of phrenology
do not apply to this epitome of every
thing that is smart, rascally, tricky
and impudent.
In regard to his ability to get over
ground, in other words,"to changelii3
mots, too much cannot bo said. It is
a good deal like the wind. Yon can
not tell whence lie cometli nor whitlier
ho gooth. When'lie makes up his
mind to place a certain amount of
space between bimself and a given lo
cality, he does not stand on the order
of going. He docs not run in the
common acceptation of the term, but
lie suddenly transforms himself into a
dimly defined streak cf gray light that
Rhimmers across the landscape for an
instant nud thon sinks into oblivion,
so far as mortal view is concerned.
He is soldom seen in the daytime.
The glare of the sun does not seem to
be suited to his make-up; he prefers to
waltz around among the sagebrush in
tho soft light of the moon. During
the day he is of a retiring disposition
and recuperates his exhausted vitality
from the previous night's debauch un
der the friendly shade of a projecting
rook, or in the deep seclusion of a
clump of quaking asp, away from the
busy haunts of men and remote from
any trail or road.
Light Employment.
Tho Deutsche Zeituug, San Paolo,
Brazil, give 3 some shameful particu
lars of the "spoils"system as it pre
vails iu that country. Ono story,
translated in tho Literary Digest, has
ail nmusing side.
Some time ago a general was sent to
ono of tho northern States to investi
gate tho management of a Government
railroad. He belonged to the set of
men who have themselves obnoxious
by their endeavors in tho service of re
form, and here are some of his ex
periences;
The very first day lie found in one
of the rooms of a railroad station a
strong young man who was doing noth
ing. Thinking the yonug fellow had
come to see him he asked:
"Do you wish anything, my friend?"
"No, sir. lam employed here."
"So! What are your duties?"
"I have to fill the water jugs iu tho
office every day."
The general was a little astonished.
In tho next room he discovered another
able-bodied young man, smoking a
cigarette. "Are you an employe?" ho
asked.
"Yes, sir. lam the assistant of tho
gentleman in the next room."
But that was nothing to avhat was to
come. The general lmd already been
informed that the road employed eight
een engineers, while only eight were
working. He ordered that in future
these men should at least take turn
about. Tho Dext day 0110 of the3e
"engineers," a beardless youth, came
to him and told him that lie could not
run a locomotive to save his life.
"Then how did you get on the pay
roll?" p
"Well, yon "see, general, it's this
way; My family are poor, but I
wanted to study law. We've got some
pull, so I managed to get an appoint
ment as honorary engineer, to make a
living while I pursue my studies."
Geese in History.
Geese have at least twice merited a
page iu recorded history in times past
and a third now awaits tho pen of tho
chronicler who shall read in the Ger
man press that the innocent birds are
the cause of a threatened war of cus
toms between Germany and Ilnssia.
A recent decree of the government of
William 11. forbidding the introduc
tion of liussian geeso across the fron
tier has led Bussia to make reprisals
in nullifying concessions made iu the
payment of duties ou leather and cel
luloid goods. Tho agrarians in Ger
many are tho instigators of tho cru
sade against liussian geeso on the
ground that they spread poultry chol
era, but they havo traitors in their own
camp, the Gcrmau taste for fatted
goose flesh being stronger than tho
acceptance of modern quarantine
ideas. Concessions on both sides van
alone prevent a long contest. —New
York Herald.

HOUSEHOLP MATTERS.
Oiling the Wringer.
Do not fail to oil the wringer every
time you wash. If oiled often there
is less wear on the machinery, and
less strength is expended by the op
erator. To clean the rollers rub them
first with a cloth saturated with kero
sene oil, and follow with soap niul wa
ter. Always loosen the rollers bo
fore putting the wringer away.
Caring For tho Irons.
Irons may be made to last for years
and they may be treated iu such fash
ion as to wear out in a fow months.
The first great secret in their preser
vation is to keep them from rusting.
To this end, when not in use, they
should be stowed away in a cleau, dry
place. If, in spite of this care, or,
more likely, because of some neglect,
they should still become rust}', rub
them thoroughly with lard aud bees
wax aud then with sandpaper.
Planning the Meals.
The average housekeeper finds that
her memory is shortest when it comes
to the daily planning of meals. Her
frequent cry that she cannot think of
nnything to order never seems to be
suggestive to her of its own remedy.
She has ordered and does order every
day the round of family living, and
if when the process is over she would
arrange iu a little hook kept for tho
purpose the chief dishes that have ap
peared oa the table during the twenty
four hours, she will find that she<
quickly accumulates a valuable memor
abilia. Instead of eataloguiug these
dishe3 under Sunday, Monday and
Tuesday, it is simpler to classify them
breakfast, luncheon, dinner; sub
stnntials and desserts. A housekeeper
who has practised this plan since the
beginning of the year has over and
over again been amazed to discover
how the useful simple "ilfshes escape
her memory without it.
Tlio China Closet.
A china closet should have its glass
doors and sides kept as bright as the
proverbial new dollar. To bring out
the good coloriug of your specially
fine bits of ehiua and silver, measure
your shelves svith paper aud buy just
enough material to allow aa inch be
ing turned in all around. Let the
fabric to cover your shelves be a high
pile plush, either of deep crimson,
Lincoln green or goldeu brown. Crim
son brings out tho bright trifles best,
and while I advise getting a thick pile
iu plush, I do not think it at all neces
sary to buy an expensive one. A good
housekeeper, whose silver always
looked brighter than any one's else,
was asked what preparation was used
to achieve this effect. She answered
laconically, "Elbow grease." Aud
then she went on to explain that the
average bit of silver was usually white
rather thau brilliant, since tho aver
ago maid thought that putting whit
ing ou and takiug none oil' was all that
was necessary for the precious metal.
"What a good maid should do," said
she, "is to use as little whiting as
possible, and to rub aud brush until
every particle of the whiting is re
moved."—Ladies' llomo Journal.
Tlio Hag Carpet'* ltd urn.
The rag carpet, after many years,
has returned. It is ouce again fairly
popular, and tlie rag 3 that for a quar
ter of a century have beeu going to tho
ragman, are now being treasured up,
since, if they are of wool, they are al
most worth their weight in gold. Why
the rag carpet ever did go out of stylo
it is hard to determiue, and its reap
pearance in society is not difficult to
understand. Properly put together
aud mado of a good assortment of
yags, it is exceedingly pretty and
withal, easy to manufacture, all tlio
knack needed being the skill necessary
to out the rags iu strips, sew them to
gether in lougths, and wind them into
a ball. For a small sum the rag car
pet weaver docs the rest. Bath room
aud study rugs aro tho chief uses of
the rag carpet of to-diiy. It is not so
much rag carpets, in fact, as it is rag
carpet rugs. Tho rag carpet rug is
not largo as a rule. Six feet by three
would be quite au extraordinary size.
Tho idea is to have quite a number of
them, aud these much smaller. They
cleau easily and wear like iron.

Of Infinite Patience.
Some men are great in silence, some
are grand In talk. The Pennsylvania
Railroad company has a man in charge
of its bureau of Information in Jersey
City who answers on an average 10,000
questions a day, and the person does
not live who ha 3 seen his -Gathers
rumpled. Remarkable man! The
| traveling public can ask more fool
questions than any other public on
earth; but to interrogate stupidly,
foolishly, Idiotically or otherwise Mr.
R. B. Caldwell Is to discover a reversal
of the Biblical injunction to answer a
thick wit according to his asininity.
Over SCO trains go and come dally at
the Pennsylvania station, and all these
Caldwell must have at his tongue's
end, as well as a complete map of the
universe.
Caldwell is every one's main depend
ence. I have heard people Inquire
after lost parcels. I have heard others
ask: "Have you seen a man around
here looking as if he expected to meet
some one?" "Did a long, thin chap
with eye-glasses leave a message here
for me?" "Did a young woman with a
child tell you she expected her hus
band to arrive on the Chicago limited?
I'm the man." Caldwell knows at sight
every politician that travels, every
prominent man In public life, every
regular and nearly every irregular pa
tron of his road. Being a man of var
ied knowledge ho is in demand among
his fellows when arguments wax hot.
, In political forecasts he has an unbeat
en record.—New York Press.
Following: In Chicago's Lead.
The street cars in Belfast, Ireland,
contain a notice to this effect: "The
habit of spitting in a public convey
ance is a filthy one, and renders the'
person so offending a subject for Ihe
loathing of his fellow-passengeiv,."
New St. Louis Headquarters.
The Baltimore & Ohio and Baltimore? &
Ohio South Western Railroads have secured
a long lease on the magnificent room at
Broadway ond Locust street in St. Louis for
the purpose of consolidating umlcr one roof
the freight and passenger offices, now located
in that city. The new location is the ground
floor of tho American Central Building with
!'"> feet on Broadway and 85 feet on Locust
Street. The ticket oftlce will be in the centre
fronting on Broadway, the freight depart
ment on one side and the passenger depart
ment 011 the other, with General Agent Orr's
office in the rear.
It is quite probable that these offices will he

when women must be most careful of their
strength, Mrs. Houseweurt was taken
seriously 111- Tho family physician told
her that she had reached a critical period
of her life, and must bo very careful.
His prescriptions and treatment did not
benefit her, and other treatment proved un
availing.
At last Dr. Williams' Pink Tills for Tale
People were brought to her notice, with
indisputable evidence that they wore help
ful in cases such as hers,and with renewed
hope she tried tho remedy. Last March
she took the lirst box of the pills, which
guvo much relief. She was determined to
be cured, nud kept 011 with tho mcdlciue,
until now eight boxes have been consumed,
and she feels like a now woman.
Mrs. Houseweurt said: "I have taken

Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications, ns they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is by
constitutional icmedics. Deafness is caused
by an inflamed condition'f the mucous lining
or the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets
inhumed you have a rumbling sound or im
perfect. hearing, and when it is entirely
<dosed Deainess is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out ami this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever. Nine cases out or ten
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but
an inllnmcd condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that
cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure.

Smuggler Foiled.
Even Saxon courtesy may be car
ried a little too far. When about to
return from a Bohemian village to a
frontier town in Saxony, the occupants
of a sledge had their foot-warmers
carefully rinsed out and replenished
with full-bodied Hungarian wine. Thus
they passed the guard pest without let
or hindrance to the merry jingling of
the sleighbe'.ls. Laughing and joking
at the success of their little dodge, they
called at a wayside inn for refresh
ments. On resuming their seats one
cf the party exclaimed: "Why, the
foot-warmers are quite hot!" Then tne
boots of the inn stepped forward and
said, with a friendly grin: "The foot
warmers were quite cold, gentlemen,
so Just to oblige you. I emptied and
filled them again with hot water."—
