The time a cutting has very Little properly cared for after it is cut. The method of handling posts, poles and logs. at different -times of the year, however, does influence their dusrabit- ity. Late spring and summer cutt;ng: 'Posts, poles and other rough products cut in late spring and early summer are mere likelee to be attacked by in- sects •and fungi,. because the wood is freshly cut and in the- most favorable condition for attack at a time when insects and the spores of fungi ate' most active: Seasoning also proceeds - more rapidly \ during the warmer Months and may cause excessive checking. If the wood is peeled when cut, and piled openly on skids for sea- soning, the opportunity for decay will be reduced to a minimum,, but check- ing will not be retarded. In no case should the wood be 'allowe.4 to lie in direct contact, with the ground. Ohecke ing can be reduced someWhat by locat- ing the pile's in a shaded but dry Place. The bark peels most easily in spring It can be removed at apy other time of the year, but the labor and expense will probably be greater. Fall and winter cutting: Timber cut in late fall and winter seasons more SlowlY and with less (41eck:ng than during the. warmet Whea proper stotage,or'lhandling is iMprac- ticable, winter cutting is best. Fungi and insects do not attack wood out-of- doors in cold weather, and by the time warm weather arrives the wood is partly seasoned and less susceptible to! attack. It is for this. reason Mat winter cutting is advantageous, and not on account of a snialler amount of , moisture or sap in the wood in winter, there ieem to be much to the moon theory. 111EAL111 FOR THE IABY Neuralgia and Other Severe Ner- vous Disorders Cured Through the Blood. In ' many severe nervous disorders the hest reine.dy is often a tonic.

Much of the storm's terrific damage at Coepus ChriSti is said to have been caused by a "tielal wave" of Ilteat !height', which.. swept 'away entire, blocks of houses. But what is a tidal wave? . It has nothing whatever to do with the tides. Any great' onrush +of , the sea that overwhelms the. land ia called a tidal: wave. In 1867 such a Wave threw the' United States cruiser Mo- nongahela clear out of the harbor and into the town of Priedrichstadt, on the island of Santa Cruz. Such waves may be dile to various 'ing up of masses of water bY a hurri- cane of wind, as at Corpus Christi. Or an earthquake under the sea may be the cause. Submarine volcanic eruptions are of ,not very. infrequent. accurenee, ands,' earthquekes are liable' t6 accompany them. Or a mere Slipping of strata in the . Sea -floor may cause earth- quakes. If, incidentally to -the Volcati- lc or seismic disturbance, one part of the .sea -floor sinks Or another part riSes, there must be a consequent rush of water, which may assume the pro- p.ortions of what is called a. tidal wave. The great earthquake that destroyed Libson in 1755 was suaipleifiented by a tidal Wave which relied up the valley of the Tagus ffom the -eeean, merging all the- lower portions of the city and destroying thousands of lives. Twenty-five years ago Japah was vistted by a series of terrific tidal waves, which ran fifteen or tWenty miles inland. They'aectimpunied gteat earthquake shocks. The tidal wave above mentioned, at Santa Cruz, also struck St. Thomas, where a wall of water that looked fifty feet high' ran up over the land.
