Teak Trees 2,000 Fours Old.
The teak wood of ltindoostan is al
most indestructible. The tree reaches
a girth of from 10 to 15 feet and has a
clear trunk of 70 to SO feet to the first
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 Eurmah there 13 teak 2,000
years -eld. It weighs 40 pounds pel
cubic foot. Teak is used in India for
construction, 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
armor-plates on ironclads. It is pe
culiarly useful for the latter purpose,
■owing to the resinous matter which It
contains and which acts as a preven
tive of rust, the wood neither affecting
the iron nor neing affected by it.
Cntnngllng Legislation on Patents.
A measure of vast importance to the
manufacturing and commercial inter
ests of the United States is the act ot
congress authorizing the president to
appoint a commission to revise and
amend the laws concerning patents,
trade marks, and trade and commer
cial names. Tho laws, as they exist,
are Inadequate to the conditions of tho
lay. They aro too complex, contra-
Jktory, and susceptible of great fraud.
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
tho use of "Old Glory" and the Gen
eva Cross for purely business advan
tages. These symbols are almost sa
cred.
Novol tVuy to Clean Machinery.
The practice of cleaning machinery
by means of blotting paper has been
established in German workshops. Tho
■German workman formerly received on
an 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 cost of 2Vfc cents, in
stead of as formerly, 6% cents. The
paper is not only cheaper, hut it can
not soil tlie machine with fibers and
•dust, like sponge cloth and woolen ref
use, aud It is far preferable to cotton
waste. Beyond this, it is not so com
bustible as other cleaning materials.
Electricity Killing Off Flies.
Entomologists report that of late
years the annual crop of files Is de
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 tiles, and as the street
car horse has been emancipated, t>o
•number cf stables ts growing less,
hence the failure of the fly to be born
to multitudes as in the nasi.

THE FORGCrTEN INVITATIONS.
% Hostess Wulfad For Guests Who Did
Not Appear.
They are a young mavrieil couple
ou one of the handsomest avenues in
the city. Late last winter they de
cided to pay off porno of their Eoeial
obligations by giving au evening
party. On the night fixed for the
event the house was illuminated from
basement to attic. The refreshments
provided would fill a box car, the
caterer was on hand with his staff of
assistants and an air of eager ex
pectancy pervaded the entire estab
lishment.
At B.SO the husband frowned at his
watch and denounced all people, who
thought it smart to bo lata at a party.
At 9 the nervous young wife was at
the front gate looking both ways, dry
ing her eyes 011 a flimsy bit of lace
and showing unmislakable symptoms
of hysteria.
At 9.30 she, with pale face, steely
eyes and hard voice, was telling her
husband what good society she had
before she married and how glad all
her friends were to attend auy enter
tainment that she might give. He re
plied by saying that she might possibly
recall how he was always iu demand
in the more exclusive set which never
seemed to think licr membership
necessary to its existence. Sho bit
her lipa that tho servants might not
hear the things she would say and he
chewed the ends of his mustache in
impotent wrath. Suddenly tho white
heat of her anger overcame her when
lie said ho had wondered why none
of his oldest and best ehnius had
never mentionod the party, hut now
bo understood. She hissed au avowal
that sho would go to her girlhood
homo nud never see him again, turn
ing nud rushing to her room as ahe
Bpoke. A piercing shriek filled the
house aud ho hurried to her. There
iio was ou tho floor in all her finery,
pointing tragically to a pile of
envelopes in her new writing deak.
They were the invitations that had

Two Cents For n Priceless liook.
A workiugman purchased for two
cents an nged-looking volume, heaving
date of 1510. Tho man tried to read
it, but threw up the attempt apparent
ly in disgust, and tho volume was rele
gated to tho cupboard. Afriend of his
happened to see the book and took it
to the British Museum authorities,
who promptly made au oiler of $l5O,
the highest sum the librarian is al
lowed to expend without a special vote
of the trustees. Had the man known
what he was about he would have
stood out for more, as the authorities
would have paid almost auy price
rather than allow the volume to slip
through their fingers. It was, iu fact,
the first hook printed by Gutenberg,
and was therefore almost priceless.—

A MISSIONARY ROMANCE.
History or tlie Skip That Spreads the
<ioi>cl 1(1 lite Ladrones.
People who went to Sunday-school
forty-five or fifty years ago and saved
their pennies to pay for a missionary
ship called The Morning Star will he in
terested to know that she was designed
for work iu the Caroline aud Ladrone
Islands, which are again demanding a
shade of our attention. The ship was
suggested by a New Bedford whaler
named Ira Lackey, who made a cruise
in those parts, and on his return ap
pealed to the American Board of For
eign Missions to sent its agents there.
The vessel cost SIB,OOO, which was
contributed by Sunday-school children.
It was launched in 1850 and sent to
the South Pacific loaded with Bibles,
hymnbooks and other literature printed
in heathenish languages. For a quar
ter of a century the brig was used by
the missionaries is cruising about the
Spanish archipelagoes, with its head
quarters iu tho Carolines.
The story they tell hero is that Ira
Laekey learned the watch and clock
business, but went out as a sailor and
took command of the bark Harvest.
On tho coast of Eusaie, one of the
Carolines, he was stranded, but didn't
give up the ship. He had no tools to
make repairs hut such as his own in
genuity could iuvent. Fortunately
one of the crew could speak tho lan
guage of the people. The king was
dangerously sick, and gladly accepted
Captain Lackey's offer to prescribe for
him. He recovered. Nothing could
exceed his gratitude aud that of his
subjects. A great friendship sprung
up between the captain and the king's
little son, a bright boy of four or five
years old. The king was most desir
ous to learn about the United States
and tho reason the people were so much
better oil'than in his own country. Ho
insisted that Captain Lackey read aud
preaeli from the Bible to them ovary
Sabbath day. Tho savages listened
with attention, and when Captain
Lackey left he promised tho king ho
would send him missionary teachers.
Twenty years after Captain Lackey's
shipwreck ho visited again his old
landing place. Tho former king was
dead. The yoiilig prince, a christian
ruler, remembered him. Under his
lead and that of the missionaries the
people, now neatly dressed, assembled
on tho shore iu an orderly manner and
formally greeted their benefactor by
singing sweet songs aud hymns of
praise to God.

Naval New Year Custom.
In the old navy the hluejaokcta had
a custom of asking the skipper to
"whitewash the hooks" 011 New Year
morning. Several dozen of the quaran
tined men, whose names had been in
scribed ou tho bad conduct lists for
trivial offenses, would assemble at the
mast and ask to have an interview with
the commanding officer. When the
skipper made his nppearauce cut of his
cabin and walked forward to the mast
the loader of the bluejackets would step
out of the gang aud quietly hand the
commander new buckel filled with
whitewash and a big whitewash
brush sticking iu it. This pan
tomime meant that the quaran
tined men nsked tho skipper to
"whitewash the books," and to erase
nil of the names off of the bad con
duct lists, thereby giving all hands a
chance to begin the new year right.
If tho skipper took the bucket from
the hands of the bluejacket they would
-set up a cheer, for they knew that (ho
commanding officer's acceptance of
tho bucket meant that he would ac
cede to their pantomimic request.
But if the skipper shook his head ami
declined to receive the bucket, the
men would quietly disperse, always
looking cheap, but not making any
criticisms.

Of Infinite Fatlence.
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 docs
not live who has seen his eatliers
rumpled. Remarkable man! The
traveling public can ask more fool
questions than a r./ 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 asinlnity.
Over SCO trains go and come daily 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 lie is in demand among
his fellows when arguments wax hot.
In political forecasts he has an unbeat

the purpose of consolidating under one roof
the freight and passenger offices, now located

Deafness Cannot bo Cured
by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the car. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is by
constitutional icinodh s. Deafness is caused
by an intlamcd condition of the mucouhlining
of tho Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets
inflamed you have a rumbling sound or im
perfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed Deafness is the result, and unless tho
inflammation can be taken outnnd this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing will
lie destroyed forever. N inc cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but
an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

Smugglers foiled.
Even Saxon courtesy may be car
ried a little too tar. When about to
return from a Bohemian village to a
frontier town in Saxony, the occupants
a'sledge had their foot-warmers
cttrefully rinsed out and replenished
tfith full-bodied Hungarian wine. Thu3
they passed the guard post without let
or hindrance to the merry jingling of
the sleighbells. Laughing and joking
at the success of their little dodge, they
called at a wayside inn for refresh
ments. On resuming their seats one
of 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." —
