"We have adopted a systciii, said• the ental to a London interviewer, "which, L'eliev-e, is practically Behr.

I stand up. and utter part of n sentence. He repeats it. I go on again. He repeats it. He does not know what I am going to say; he merely translates my words, so that very soon I find myself speaking nearly as rapidly as if I were addressing them in my dative tongue. You would be surprised With what a swing it goes." Gen. Booth then went on to give some of the impressions lie gained of the Deitch people. Trade is good; work is plenty; and though wages are low, the people get on well. There is no abject poverty. Little flashy finery is worn. There is too much Saturday night drunkenness, however. The Clergyman's Hobby horse. Visitors to a quaint little church in England observe a curious relic in the shape of a high stool with a leather top like a saddle. The parish clerk shows not a little pride in this relic and tells its story with relish. During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries the country parsons were accustomed to spend much of their time hunting with their country squires. Ofteutimes the fox got more attention than the sermon on the following Sunday. Such was the ease with the parson who left the sad- dle stool behind him as a relic of the days of fox-hunting parsons. He was a good deal more at home in the saddle than in the pulpit, so in order to intro- duce some of the life and spirit into his discourses which he felt while in the hunting field. the reverend gentleman had this saddle stool made. It was placed in the pulpit before the parson mounted the steps. Once astride this hobby the parson was able to reach a much higher degree of enthusiasm and eloquence than he could have unmotmted.

A statistician has learned that the anual aggregation of the eireulation of the papers of the world is estimated to be 12,000,000,000 copies. To• grasp the idea of this magnitude we may state that it yould cover no fewer than 10,- 450 square miles of surface; that it is printed on 781,1 ',50 tons of paper; and, further, that. if the runlber (12,000,000,- 00^) rei.resentcd, instead of copies, sec- mnds, it would take more ti!c.1 333 years for theme to elapse.

Calculating that the average man spends five minutes in the day reading his paper (thio is a very low estimate), we find that the people of the world altogether annually occupy time equivalent to 100,000 years read- ing the papers.

Public demonstration of affection is most repugnant to the good taste of the Japanese, and it is the absence of this which is so generally mistaken for a lack of genuine feeling. I recall one man who was so devoted ,to his mother (though 1 doubt whether he could ever have been said to have "talked about" her; that, when she died, while he was abroad, his depression was so profound that my husband watched him with anxiety lest he should commit suicide. The stoical training may render more unsympathetic a coarse nature; but re- pression to the refined soul brings and exquisite capacity for pain scarcely -con- ceivable by those who are free to give utterance to every emotion. Another man said to me, "I rarely speak of my mother, for a foreigner does not understand that a Japanese mother may be just as dear to her son as his to hint and by the Tapanese it is not ex- pected that one should utter one's deep- est feeling." That same son fainted with grief when his mother died, and when consciousness returned rose to make light of a "little dizziness." without referent, to its rause. To this day. when- ever he goes from home, he carries with him his mother's letters, monntecl on a Ieantiful roll of ivory and brocade., and en the anniversary of her pa sing be- yond his mortal ken quietly devotes a portion of the day to mutation and speeizi thoai^ht of her. Even to his wife, despite the closed. bond of love, he says not, "This is the day of my mother's death."—Outlook. Minard's Liniment Cures 6arbet in Cows Red and Green Snow. At various time it is recorded that there has been "blood on the face of the noon." Some old chronicles tell of showers of blood. which, however, are not well authentieated. The "bloody sn.ow," on the other ]rand, is an actual thing. Snow is sometimes found in polar and Alpine regions, whore it lies unnielted from year to year, and the annual fall is small, colored red by the presence of in- numerable shall red plants. In its native state the plant consists of brilliant red globules on a gelatinous mass. Red snow was observed by the ancients, aassage in Aristotle referring to it; butt it at- tracted little or no attention until 1760, when Saussni•e observed it in the Alps and concluded that it was due to the pollen of a plant, It was also noticed by the Arctic expedition under Captain Ross on Baffin's Bay shore on a range of cliffs, the red color penetrating to the depth of twelve feet. Less frequent is a green growth of snow. Just imagine these rich colors decor- ating the landscape near our large cities!

Indianapolis Furnishes Much of the Sup- ply for Cabinetmakers. "There is a great deal of so-called oak furniture sold nowadays," said an Indianap- elis dealer, but a large part of it is veneer- ed. This is .. particularly true of parlor and ornamental furniture. Coarse and common furniture may be made of solid oast, but fine furniture is almost invariably veneered. This is because a much finer finish can be got from quartered oast veneer than from and solid akes d.

There are seven factories here, and their combined output is nearly equal to that of all the other factories in the United States. The Indiana Lumber and Veneer Company, the Iargest of the local factories, has branch establishments in Grand Rapids, Mich., and in New York City, and its goods go all over the continent. Some of the other factories have almost an equally exilonsive trade. The one named makes a specialty of quar- ter -sawed white oak veneering. It also makes walnut red oak, sycamore and maple veneer, but about 75 Per cent. of its output is quartered oak. The syca- more used to be regarded as a comparative- ly worthless tree, but it works up well in veneering, and finds many uses in the man- ufacture of furniture. It can be stained in imitation of cherrry and other hard woods. There are two kinds of veneering, sawei and sliced, but it takes -an expert to tell the difference. The process of manufacture is simple and interesting. The logs, de- livered in the factory 1n the rough, about thirteen feet in length, are first cooked in hot water vats to make them soft and work- able. It does not matter how groan they are. After being thoroughly cooked, they are placed on machines designed for the pur- pose, and either sliced by a powerful knife the length of the log or cut by a circular saw into slabs about one -twentieth of an inch thick. These slabs are the full length of the log ,and when first cut are so pliable that they can be bent double without break- ing. The uniform thickness or thinness of the slabs is preserved by the action of the machinery and does not vary as much as a hair's breadth in the entire length of the slab. After the slabs are sliced or sawed they are seasoned by steaming. This re- quires only about twenty-four hours, and then they are ready for the market. Indianapolis veneering; is sold all over the United States and in Canada. It is in great demand by car builders and furniture manu- facturers, especially oak veneering, which is placed as a finish on softer and cheaper woods. Some of the huge oak logs wheel come to the factories show by the rings in them that the trees were from 250 to 400 years old. These monar&.ue of the forest all come from Indiana, and the period of their growth reaches far back beyond the time of the country.—Indianapolis News. Do you catch cold easily ?

There is a North Missouri editor who is very fond of honey. This editor makes frequent trips to Kansas city, and whenever he makes one of these trips he stops at a hotel where he can always get honey. On a recent trip he was accompanied by his wife, and just as they were approaching the city he told her ho was nearing the place where he could get his honey. That night as they dined at the hotel, he turned to a waiter and asked! "Where is my honey?" With a broad smile the waiter replie.i: "You mean that little dark -hatred one? Ob, she don't work here no more." The editor is still explaining to his wife. Minard's Liniment Cures Distemper. leis No Windmills in China.

When a traveller gets his first sight of a palm grove he does not easily forget it. Ho sees the trees springing up ,as it were, from the water in which their shadows are re- flected. Besides being beautiful ornaments to a landscape, these palms aro among the most useful gifts which nature has given to the inhabitants of tropical islands, In sup- plying actual necessities, and in the number of useful purposes to which it can be applied, bamboo takes first sank, but two palm comes next. In Ceylon, where the bamboo is not utilized to the extent to which it is in Japan, the palm has the pre-eminent position. To many of the people of this island, the cocoa- nut trees are everything and their very lives depend upon them. The tree supplies most of their wants besides giving them valuab e commercial products. In this island there alle estimated to be nearly twenty millions of palm trees, and among the poorer classes a man's wealth is estimated by the number of trees be owns. They form the most im- portaut,asset of his estate, and by will are generally divided among his family, As one of the important traits of the Cingalese in his love of litigation, one can readily see what an important part the palm tree plays in the law cases there. There is a case on record in whict the 2,520th part of a grove, contain- ing only ton trees, was the subject of dis- pute. Ono of the greatest difficulties which the engineers had to encounter in building a railroad across the island was to determine the ownership of the palm trees.
