PRESERVATION OF Woop.—The increasing cost of wood in this country has led to a great num- ber of experiments in preserving all kinds of wooden structures exposed to the weather from decay.

The finished wood, ready to be put together, is first submitted to } to drive out and is then placed in a hot bath efly of asphelt and carbolic acid. the solvent of the asphalt evapor- ates, 'eaving a skin or coating of thé asphalt on the surface of the wood that resists water and keeps the antiseptic material securely locked within the pores of the w The exterior of the wood presents a smooth, black surface that does not need to be painted.

All this will be called a Wall street trick or stock-jobbery; but in fact it is simply corporate dishonesty. Let ustake one glaring example. Suppose that there exists a large corporation, having a heavy eapital, and performing highly important func- tions in relation to the public. Its board of di- rectors Is Cort poe of the leading men of the financial world, and a large proportion of the permanent stock of the corporation is held as a it investment. Another company is started as a It can pay no dividends, and is not likely to, for its promoters repai themselves doubie their original outlay through the medium of a construction company, and they propose to make more by selling out. But this cern can and does injure the dividend-paying company.though not much. In courseoftimethe leading spiritsin each corporation come together secretly, and arrange what, in a term bor- rowed from the gambling-table, is called a “deal.” The dividend-paying company is to absorb the other, and to double its own stock. An elaborate program Is laid out, extending over many months. As the first step in It, holders of the dividend-paying stock must be induced to sell out—“‘shaken out” the streets call it. The corporate dishonesty begins at this point. The board of directors meet, and in statement of the company’s affairs, which is & carefully concocted falsehood from woginasag 66 end. In it they represent that business has fallen off to the most serious extent; that the revenues have so greatly shrank that it would be highly impolitic to declare the usual quarter- clared, which, it is true, will require most of the surplus in the company's treasury to pay, but, by caretul economy, they hope it may fally The pause “hy this wepared for by the . rumors that the ny are in a truly deplorable industrious propagation o dend; the men who are in the secret have pre- viousiy sold their stock and they set to work to are frightened at what they see and hear; they inake haste to sell, and the price goes on sink- a level where the conspirators decide it is time to buy. They have covered their short con- tracts, and make their profit that way; and, under their buying, the price rises as rapidly as it went down, which catches the swarm of Wall street stock operators who had been sell- ing the stock short, and were not in the secret. When the men who are conducting the deal get all the stock they want, offieial announce- ment is mae that the rival companies have agreed to combine, and the stock of the consoli- dated concern will be doubled. This being done, the conspirators desire to sell their enormous holdings of the watered stock. They therefore meet again in their official capacity as directors, and issue another official quarterly statement, in which everything said in the last is unsaid. The revenues are declared to have increased in a most unexpected way.great econ- omies have been effected, and the profits of the quarter are large enough to allow a dividend to be declared at the fuil rate onthe whole doubled capital stock, while the outlook for the future is sueh as to give assurance that it will be con- tinued and possibly increased. This official statement is just as much a falsehood as thelast was.

The Mand of a Murdered Woman that Would Not Stay Buried. From the Denver Tribune. “Murder will out.” That a cine toa horrible crime has recently been discovered there can scarcely bea doubt. Something over a week ago a horrible kan was brought into the resi- dence of Mr. Bi who lives on Larimer street, West Denver. He first notived a pet dog coming in the room with what appeared to be a piece of meat in his month. The dog was re- pulsed several times, but still insisted upon at ag on unsightly bone or meat, as the case might be, into the house. To his horror he noticed that it wasa human hand. The flesh was decayed, but still adhered to the fleshy por- tions of the hand and even to the back of the fingers and knuckles. G The hand was apparently that ofa woman. It was small and delizate and looked as if it had been torn trom the body of a corpse. It was wrapped in a plece of paper and laid away in a secure place in the back yard. Finally the dogs got hold of it again and began to carry it about the neighborhood until a citizen buried it beside a tree which grows near the mill ditch near Lar- imer street. Here it remained for several days until the heavy storm of Saturday night washed the dirt away and again exposed it to view. Mr. William Ryan was the second to find the “nid- den hand.” He lives in the old church at the side of the mill ditch where it crosses Larimer street. Going towards the ditch early on Sun> day morning, after the storm, he came to the tree already aliuded to. Where the dirt had been ally washed away and was beaten down hard and solid between two of the largest roots of the tree he saw projecting fromthe earth a human hand and wrist. Officer Casey, in looking the matter up, found the facts to be as first ‘ed, i.e., that the hand ior Eeabag eds oe of the oo it — rst been found in the mn of a dog. Fur- ther than this he was hablo terrane the alien His theory is that the finding of the hand is the clue to & murder. Whether it was the right or left hand was not learned. One theory is that a murder must have been coramitted and the body buried near the mill-race, where the water washed against it until it was ‘lally exposed and a hand or arm was torn off by the dogs. A Tritune reporter visited the locality yesterday and found all who were cognizant of the strange aflair very much excited about the matter. Michael Davitt. From the N. ¥. Times. Michael Davitt seems to stand alone among those who have from time to time come to the surface of popular agitation in Ireland. The son of a small farmer, he was, while yet a boy, driven to seek eager in England. Labor- there in an humbie position, accident de- prived him of one of his arms. He subsequently vecame involved in a movemefit which an Eng- lish jury considered treasonable, and he was sent to penal servitude.

You have got a pretty good nerve to tackle a subject cf so sweeping a nature.” The co‘ning graduate seated herself alongside of the horse reporter's desk, “Shall I begin at the begiriuing?” she asked. “I think you might better,” was the reply. “**Schoolmates,’ began the girl, “‘we nd upon the’ verge of a shoreless sea, the—’” “Hold »n,” said the horse reporter. ‘Come back and get the word again.” “Why, what is the matter, sir?” asked the young la:ly. “That's all wrong,” wag the reply. “How can anyone stand upon the verge of a shoreless sea? If a sea’s got a verge it isn’t shoreless by quite considerable. You mustrig that sentence up differcntly.” “Do yon think so?” “Certainly Ido. You might as well say you were sitting in the arm-chair of a chairless par- lor. I svppose you have been there.” The yonng lady blushed and said she really didn’t kiow. ‘Perhaps, then, you would be kind encugh to suggest the outline of an essay for me. I hardly think the one I have written would suit you.” “Well,” said the horse reporter, “you wont to say something that will catch the old men that have nice young sons; something that will carry theold toughs back into the misty past with its flood of tender recollections, and make ‘em feel as if they ought to have died early. The Ship ot Life racket is a pretty good one.” “The what?” asked the young lady. “The Ship of Life racket,” replied the horse reporter; ‘‘and seeing that you have started out ona sort. of marine essay, perhaps it would be the best way to have it headed. You take tliat sentence about the shimmering sea being kissed by the horizon for a starter, and then you go ead. You want to describe the squali in all its dreadful splendor, and tell a nice, easy lie about a «tately ship that has come trom the far- away islands of the southern seas, where the breezes are laden with the balmy odor of spices, and all titat kind of rubbish, you know. Then work up the peroration. ‘Tell how the good ship, almost in sight of home, is attacked by the tempest.

Mr. German Smith, of Winchester, Va., one of the largest and most successful dealers in sumac in the sonth, gives the following directions in regard te sumac culture, preparation for market, &e.: “The sumac should be taken while all the sap isstil! in the leaf, and before it has turned red—say, asa general thing, during latter part ot June, July, and not later than August, and in no case after it has began to dry up and deaden, nor after.the least frost. for itis of no account then, and wil! not be bought. The earlier the sumac is taken the better it is. The red berries must al! be thrown out. The little low, or black suinac, as it is called, is as good as any, and the best way to take it is to cut it and thresh it and take out the stems. This can be done by 4 fine rake or running it through a fan. It may be wilted in the sun, but must be cured under cover, and not allowed to be burnt by the sun or te get wet, or to be in such large quanti- ties as te heat in curing—any of which destroys its color and strength and renders it valueless. It should not be thrown upon a tight floor to cure, buf raised up, so as tolet the air get under it; and by shelving loosely much surface can be obtained in a small space, and the sumac will cure faster. All sumac should be gathered. at least 4 month before it is sufficiently cured to be brought in for sale, and in bad weather even a longer time may be required to properly dry it, for net only the leaf but the twig, too, must be thoroughly dry, so that it will snap short off ike a clay pipe-stem, or it cannot be received, for it wit! heat and spoil. This must be strictly observed. “Howaver long sumac may have been taken or however dry it may be, it draws the damp- ness from the atmosphere in a cusp time, and must not be packed until it is perfectly dried out again. “Sumac should have the same green, bright color an‘i fresh appearance when cured as when taken from the bush, and must not be bleached, nor looF dark and dead, nor smell musty. It is Just as important to have your sumac gathered at the proper time and in good condition when brought to market as anything else.

I was riding in a part of New Hampshire some fifty miles south of the mountains. As usual rod was in the wagon.. It was a brilliant day, one of those days when one is glad he is alive. The wind was vlowing freshly down the valley, the horses were in good order, and the country ‘Was springing up everywhere to greet the late but welcome spring. . My destination was nowhere in, particular. You who have read these letters in past years do not need to be told that this is a way we have of taking long rides In spring and autumn. Mayhap the beauty ofa scene will tempt us to nger along the road, the charm of a peaceful Village will persuade us to stay over night, or over a day or days. Perhapsas we go along we will strikes 8 lake wherein fish may be found. More pleasant sttll, a trout stream may run near the roadside,and my horses know a trout stream well, and are almost sure to stop with- out a touch on the reing, if they see a good place for a cast. And this was just what they did that morning, though it was something more than a stream and good fishing ground which arrested them. For, on the green grass at the head of a spark- lng pool, in a clear, rushing river, a rod or two from the roadside, a boy was kneeling and ad- justing a cast of flies.. The horses knew what the boy was at, and took it for granted this was the proper place to stop. ‘Are there trout in the river?” I asked. “Oh yes, lots of °em; but you can’t catch em very easy; anyhow, I can’t, but grandfather can, and I’m learnin’ how.” There was a clump of bushes between me and the head of the pool, but as the boy was speak- ing I saw a line with two flies go out into the alr from behind the bushes, and the cast fell on the rip in the pool, and as it came up toward the foam there was a swash and dash of the water, and the line straightened out taut and then cut the surface as it swung across toward us. AS yet no rod or fisherman was visible, but in a few moments both emerged to view. An old man, a very old man, wading in the shallow edge of the stream, stepping with cau- tion, but firmly, came into view, his eye fixed steadily on the pool and as full of light and brightness as a boy’s eye. He knew what he was about, that was plain enough. He did not look mp, for some time, but when his glance caught the horses and buckboard.and met mine, he nodded cheerily, recognizing, as he after- ward said, the look of a brother angler, but he gutetly held to his work.» It is quite as pleasant to see a fish handsomely taken as to take one yourself. He held hts rod in the right hand, well up, and the bend a down to the butt spoke of a weighty fish. ie first few rushes had been controlled betore he came in sight, and now the trout was hanging low down inthe water and swinging slowly from side to side of the pool. Passing his rod to the left hand, he bey to use the reel with judgment, and the fish came nearer. Then he rushed, and the fingers left the reel to run, and the rod bowed a little down to the stream to ease the strain, and I saw his finger press on the line against the rod below the reel to make it drag more heay- ily. So the fish did not go into the swift water below the pool, but, yielding to the persuasion of the light rod, turned and gave it up. In leas than five minutes he lay on the green grass, and I weighed him, a plumb three pounds, and then I looked up to meet the smil- ing face of the old angler. “The boy says he is learning to take trout. I fancy he couldn’t have a better teacher.”. ‘Well, Tought to know how to take them here. I've fished this river every spring nigh on to seventy years.” “You began it young.” “Not so very young. I'm elghty-one, and Tye caught trout since I was seven years old.” “And like it as well as ever?” He looked first at me, then at the river, then up into the sky, and swept a glance around the scene before he replied. Then he sald, with emphasis: “Yes, just the same as ever. When I had hold of that trout I was thinking of a four-pounder Itook out of this pool when I wasn’t fitteen years old, and I felt just as I felt then. I don’t believe it’s in human nature to change one bit in feeling about taking trout, from ten years old to a hundred.” ‘There was a keen pleasure in talking with an experienced angler of this sort,and we talked as cheerily as ene les loye to talk. He told me @ great many things worth remembering about the habits of the’ fish ‘in that river. For the habits of trout, like those of men, are different in different localities. . Hence it is that books of instraction. and rules about flies for certain seasons, and writtén ways of fishing are of small account. My experienced friend took no stock in the imitation theory. , “Sometimes,” he said, “but very rarely in thia water, a trout takes @ fiy because it resembles a fly of the season, but mostly I think they are tempted by the varlety which is offered them in something alive and eatable, which they have not tasted before. A trout is a greedy eater. In the freshets he crowds his stomach with sticks and stones and everything which goes along in the thick water.” ‘‘Are trout of this size plentiful here?’, “No, no. The river is well stocked, but of late years the average size will not be much above a quarter pound. But every spring I get three or four fish running from two to three pounds, and afew pounders. There’s another in the pool as iarge as that one. I saw ther both rise a while ago. Will you try a cast?” And he offered me his rod. ‘0, I will not interfere with your sport.” “Not abit of it. I would like to see another man hope? that fellow better than to take -him myself.” ° “You belong to the true brotherhood,” I said; “but I wik use my own rod.” “Try this one. “I made it myself last winter, a year ago, and it will serve vou well.” It was a capital rod, and, to my surprise, was made of a wood once recommended to me, but which I had never before seen in use. The tree is commonly known as shadblow. It does not often grow large, and it is difficult to find straight trunks. He told me he had trained and straightened the growing trees for four years before cutting them. The rod was in two ieces, spliced and wound, and weighed per- ps ten ounces. The line was of horse hair, a marvel of braiding, without an end out any- where to catch in the guide-rings; and the files black tail-fly and a golden hacker bobber.

We passed the day together along the banks of the stream, going foran hour to bis home near by for dinner, and coming out afterward to talk rather than fish by the side of the water.
