Bert is rather proudof the arrival and swears, by all that is holy, that the little one greatly resembles him and can already say “da-da.” Great is the first arrival. The Telltale Hand. A writer in an English weekly de- clares that if we want to know what the other person is thinking we must look at his or her hands. Even un- practiced lips can lie, as every one knows. Long practice In self control will enable one to keep one’s volce sweetly cordial when there is nothing but indifference or cold dislike behind it. The eyes can be made to shoot glances which are not at all a register for the emotions. But the hands, it is asserted, are utterly beyond the con- trol of those to whom they belong. Hven people who hardly gesticulate at all—and to keep the hands still is con- sidered by the Anglo-Saxon a most es- sentlal part of good breeding—even these people are, it seems, constantly revealing themselves in little move- ments of the hands. The immortal Mul- vaney has put it on record that a wo- man’s truth or untruth can be dis- cerned by the action of her hands. Of course It takes a practiced reader to Interpret what the hands are saying. It 1s not a case of “he who runs may read.” Queer Furs. “This is cat fur,” sald a furrler. “We use it for linings. An excellent Uning cat fur makes too, Dogs, calves, colts, coons, opossums, bats, rats—any animal that wears fur, in fact, is sala- ble In the fur market. Bat hair s felted up with other stuff into an imi- tation skin. It is also used, I belleve, in rope plaiting. The dog, the coon and the opossum yleld a fur that, prop- erly treated, makes a very handsome lining. Rat skins are employed In cer- tain delicate repairs, and they also gerve to form the thumbs of cheap gloves. A queer thing about the fur business is that the furs must be taken in the dead of winter. The trapper must work under the cruelest climatic conditions. Only thus is the fur at its best. The dresser, on the other hand, who could work best in cald weather, must do all his work in the heat of summer or otherwise he would not be able to keep up with the changing fashlons,”—Exchange. The Magical Mirror. An ordinary mirror of any size or shape, a plece of French chalk pointed 80 that it can be used to write and a sllk handkerchief are the requisites. Draw upon the mirror with the chalk any design or words you choose. With the handkerchief wipe the glass light- ly until it is perfectly clear and no writing or design is apparent. Having all this prepared beforehand, show to some one and request that he breathe gently on the face of the glass, when he will see a pleture of his future wife, for the design drawn will show very @istinctly. - This can again be wiped off, and if breathed upon the design will be again visible. How Queen Bess Dined. The setting out of the dinner of Queen Elizabeth was a ceremonious functfon. First came a gentleman with a rod, followed by a gentleman carry- ing a tablecloth, which, after they had knelt reverently three times, - was spreal upon the table. Then came two others, one with a rod, the other with a saltcellar, a plate and bread. They knelt three times, placed the things on the table, knelt again and retired. Next came a lady in waiting, followed by a second. . The first lady, dressed in ‘white, after kneeling three times, ap- proached the table and solemnly rubbed the plates with the salt. Then entered twenty-four yeomen of the guard clad in searlet and each carrying a dish of gold. These dishes were placed upon the table, while the lady taster gave to each of the guards a taste from the dish he had' brought in for fear of pos- sible poison. These guards were Se- lected from the tallest and stoutest men in all England. At the close of this ceremony a number of unmarried ladles appeared and with great solem- nity lifted the various dishes and car- ridd them to the queen in her private apartments. The queen dined and sup- ped alone, with few attendants, and it was seldom that any one was admitted at this time, and then only at the inter- cesslon of some one in power. Coal Used by Romans, It is believed by some historians that coal was used by the Romans on the continent and by the Britons on the is- land before the arrival of Caesar. As early as 1234 Henry ITL. granted a - cense to dig coal near Newecastle, but a few years later the use of coal was forbldden in London, the smoke being deemed prejudicial to public health. In 1300 the London gentry petitioned the king against its use, declaring that in spite of his royal order certaln ma- liclous persons persisted in burning it. Coals began to be brought from New- castle to London in 1381, during the reign of Richard II. By the year 1400 coal was commonly burned in London as a fuel, though 200 years later, In the reign of Charles L., its use was far from being general throughout Eng: land. Authbracite coal, which, except the dlamond, is the purest form of car- bon known, was first used by a Con- necticut Dblacksmith named Gore in 1768 and as a domestic fuel by Judge Jesse Fell of Wilkesbarre, Pa., in 1808.

PALMER & ANDERSON uic) 5 i . A Fairy Tale Kingdom. The kingdom of Uganda is a fairy tale. You climb up a railway instead of a beanstalk, and at the end there 1s a wonderful new world. The scenery is different, the vegetation is different, the climate is different, and, most of all, the people are different from any- | thing elsewhere to be seen in the whole range of Africa. Instead of the breezy uplands we enter a tropiecal garden.

P., in|# Strand Magazine. A Promise Unfulfilled. 0. Henry, the well known story writ- er, once promised the editor of a mag- azine that he would deliver a short story to him on the following Monday. Several Mondays passed, but the muse | was refractory, and the story was not forthcoming. At last the wrathful ed- itor wrote this note: My Dear O. Henry—If I do not receive that story from you by 12 o'clock today I am going to put on my heaviest soled shoes, come down to your house and kick you downstairs, I always keep my prom- ises. Whereupon O. Henry sat down and wrote this characteristic reply: Dear Sir—1, too, would keep my pror- tses if I could fulfill them with my feet. ~—Success Magazine, An Odorless Disinfectant. If one objects to the odor of carbolic acid, he may use for the plumbing an odorless disinfectant prepared as fol- lows: Dissolve half a pound of per- manganate of potash In four gallons of water and pour this carefully down the pipes. This solution, if allowed to stand in bowls or basins, will stain them purple. The stains may be re- moved with a weak solution of oxallc acld. The acld must be rinsed off im- mediately after it has been used. —_— gy A Postal Deficit. , what {s meant by the postal deficit?” T “The things your mother always for gets to put on a postal card.”—Detroft Free Press, LUMBER OFFICE e o] o .

Those who reason that all lumber is alike because it looks alike, have several more guesses coming. There's as much difference in lumber as there is in shoes or clothes, and you don't buy those with your eyes shut, do you? As lumber is supposed to last -a long time, quality should be the first consideration in buying. Your money talks here, of course, but what you get for your money, talks more yet, Our rule of quality first—then price—satisfaction always—doesn’t leave any chance of blindfold lumber buying at this yard.
