It was not exactly malevolent; it rather Indicated a soul within harassed by some adversity. "Well,” I said when we were seated, “I saw your sign, and as I am looking for a w ife 1 thought I would come iu and see what you have to offer. But first tell me how you, a man, happen to be running a matrimonial agency, a business that seems to pertain rather to woman?” “I'm here to make stories for other people, not to tell mine.” “What do you mean by making sto

ties?”

“Stories according to the novel writers all begin with the ineetiu' of a man and a woman. Usually they mar-, ry at (lie end of the yarn, and tlie uo\ elist slinks out of the business." “Slinks out of the business'/” “/ don’t pretend to make happy marriages. I simply introduce people and let ’em figure It out for themselves.” “But why do you use the word 'slink' in speaking of the novelist?” “Why doesn't he stand up square and say: ‘I’ve told you about this couple, what kind of a time they’ve bad giftin' each other, all the fool pranks they've played a-doln’ of it to the day they was married? But y’ mouglit as well understand that 1 don't mean to say they jo goin’ to keep it up. They may git on together, but the chances are -for the fust two or three years anyway—they won't. They may tight right along, bangin' on for the sake of their children, or they may find their way into the divorce courts. Anyway, they got to git over a lot of troubles.’ Kf tlie novelist would lie fa'r about it and tell his readers jist what to expect if the story run on, lie wouldn't sell so many of his novels, but he'd have a clean conscience. He don't do no sich thing. He don’t even take ’em through the honeymoon. There’s lots of couples goin’ off together all alone by thelrselves, afeariHl somebody ’ll butt in, and before they've got through the honeymoon wish somebody icould butt in. Honeymoon! Why do they call it honeymoon? Because it changes. When it begins tlie moon's full and begins to wane right off. It Isn't the hull moon they mean, ’cause in two weeks the moon's new ng'in and begins to wane. That’s the time a couple begins to git tired of each oth er’s undivided company—that is, if they don’t begin before.” “Oh, you’re too sweeping in your statements,” 1 interrupted. ‘There arc lots of happy marriages, lots where the honeymoon never ends. But I’m interested. Tell me your own story. I don’t want a wife. I only came in here from curiosity. Of course I've no right to take up your time without profit to you. You must make your fee all the same.” I tossed a bill on to a table near by. “Well, stranger, cf y’ put it that a-wny 1 don’t mind tellin’ you. I went through the novel experience part, and I confess It was very slick. The gal and I got Hie sulks at each other every two or three days, sometimes several times a day. But the makln’ up was wo'tli it all. Then we said goodby to the story business and sailed off into the honeymoon stage. Somehow when we got miffed nt each other the makin' up wasn’t so sorghum-like. Before wc got home we had a real fight that we didn’t make up at nil. "I won’t go over what fullered, fblldron came to us and. seoin’ their mother fightliT me all the time, they tuk a hand and tuk to pitebiu’ stools at me. I stood it for a matter of ten years, when one day when they driv’ me outeii the house with gridirons and rollin’ pins I didn't go back no more. “They say cf a man wants to got on lie otighter lie in a business he knows soinepin about. What I don t know about matrimony ain t wo tb knowiiT. But I don’t seem to got on very well at it. I reckon I'm too honest. Ef I wa’n’t no honester than the novelists I could make It go well enough, lint I ain’t no sich low down

cuss.

“There nre cases," I remarked, “where one knows loo much about Ids business or, stated differently, he at tadies too much Importance to Ids

own experience.”

That may bo it, stranger. Anyway,

! since, no matter how good the Join may he, sooner or later the action of the breath will wear away the solder. To bend these thin brass tubes without splitting ur denting the metal was at one time very difficult, hut, thanks to a most ingenious artifice, the operation is now both safe and simple. The tube is first washed out with a chemical substance, such as is used by plumbers to prevent solder from adhering where it is not wauled, and it is then completely filled with molten lead pouivd in from a ladle. Thus supported from within, Hie brass is easily and safely bent to the required shape, the lead being afterward removed by

heat.—IVarsniiK

A CURIOUS WORD. Twists That May Be Given to “Ba” In the Cldncse Language. In the Chinese language the same word may be given several different meanings by the modulation of the voice. The same tiling may happen to the English "Vos.” which may lie pronounced so as to mean “1 assent to that,” or "l am doubtful.” or "Indeed?" An eminent authority on philology gives nil amusing illustration of these mcdulations in tlie Aniiamitic language, a monosyllabic tongue spoken by the people of Touquin and Cochin China. In this language the syllable "ha" pronounced with a grave accent means a lady, an ancestor. I’rououuced with the sharp accent, it means the favorite of a prince I’renounced with the semi grave accent, it means what lias been thrown away. Pronounced with tlie grave circumflex, it means what has been left of a fruit after the juice has been squeezed out. Pronounced with no accent, it menus three. Pronounced with the ascending nr interrogation accent. it means a box on the ears. Thus ihe word "bu," in the order given above, is said to mean, if properly pronounced. “Three ladies gave a box on the ear to tlie favorite of the prince." -Chicago Record Herald.

Two Previous. A Richmond woman has in her em ploy a little darky. Miff Cole. One day Miff became confidential and told his mistress he was “goin’ to the ciuiitery next Sunday.” "But. Miff, that's a long walk. You know it is more than five miles." "Oh, missus, I ain't goin’ to walk. Ps goin’ to ride.” "How Is that, Miff'/’’ "I s goin’ in a kerridge t’ my uncle’s funeral.” All day Saturday Miff could talk of nothing but tlie approaching affair. Sunday ids mistress excused him, and she expected that on Monday she would he regaled with a full account of the funeral. But Miff turned up with a most melancholy face. In an swer lo her inquiry lie said: "i didn't g<>, missus, lie ain't dead yit."- New York Herald.

Cement as a Substitute for Wood.

Decay of Building Stones. The causes of decay In building stones are various and depend ou tlie physical structure of the stoue, its composition and the nature of the surrounding atmosphere. The most destructive agent lo which Hie stoue is exposed is rain or a moist atmosphere and also iu a minor degree wind, frost and smoke The air of large towns is usually charged with various deleterious acids These acids are dissolved by the rain, which penetrates the stone in a greater or less degree, according to its physical structure, and combines with the constituents of the stone, causing it to decay, so that any contrivance that will check tlie admission of water will he most likely to SUeceed in arresting decay.—Building World.

1075.”— London Chronicle.

The relation between the increasing use of cement and the diminishing timber supply in the United States has been the subject of some interesting correspondence between the Geological Survey and the Forest Service at Washington, in a letter to the Forester, the Director of the Survey took occasion to quote from a statement of a large Philadelphia firm to the effect that it would be difficult to estimate what the additional drain on the lumber supply would have been during the last few years had not cement come into such general use. The Forester replied in part as follows; “The Forest Service is watching with a great deal of interest the increasing use of cement and other substitutes for wood. They are undoubtedly having some influence on the price of lumber, though 1 do not think that up to the present time they have greatly retarded the advance in lumber prices. The fact is that our industrial progress lias been so great that our requirements for every kind of structural material have increased tremendously. Wo are using at the present time more lumber per capita than ever before and probably twice as much per capita as we did fifty years ago. The conclusion can not 'be escaped, therefore, that in the future we must depend more than in the past ou other materials than wood for certain purposes at least. As to the increase that will take place in the production of cement, my impression is that this will he very great.” If the increase in the use of cement in the United States in past years i to be regarded as any index to it: future use, the conclusions of the Forester are well founded. Tlie statistics of the production of minerals show that our output of cement has more than doubled in the last five years, and it is well known that its use is being very widely extended. This is due to two conditions: In the first place, excellent cement materials are common in almost all sections of the country; in the second place, reinforced concrete for heavy building material is receiving increased favor among engineers, while in the country regions large amounts of cement are being used for building blocks for smaller structures. Reports received by Hie Survey during the six years from 1902 to 1907 show that the production of cement in the United States has increased from 25,000,000 barrels, valued at approximately $25,000.000 to 61,000,000 barrels, valued at $55,000,000, the annual statistics showing a steady increase in production with some slight fluctuations in price.

Seasoning ami Treating Telephone Pole < 'ross-Anns. There are used every year in the United States about 14,000,000 cross-arms for telephone and telegraph poles. Of these, perhaps onofourth are now treated with preservatives to increase their durability, and there are at least five plants, at New York City, Norfolk, Ya., New Orleans and Slidell, La., and West Pa&cagoula, Miss., at which crossarms are treated Because of their small size as compared with the strength required and the weakening effect of the holes for insulator pins, and their constant exposure to all kinds of weather, cross-arms snouM | receive a thorough treatment. A > good treatment with creosote will at j least treble their durability. A large portion of tlie supply of | cross-arms comes from the South: | they are sawed from tlie loblolly or old field pine, of which there is a large quantity throughout this region. This tree grows rapidly, but contains much sapwood, which Is difficult to season. It has been said that "loblolly pine sapwood will roi before it will season in the warm i damp climate of the South.” While this is probably overdrawn, it is nei essary so to pile the cross-arms that | the air may circulate freely abou ; them, and to proti^et them from rain ’ and snow by a roof of loose boards j By laying 20 cross-arms in a tier, 2 j cross.arms at each side and 2 in tlv ! middle set on edge, and allowing a | small space between each of the oth- ! ers, which are laid fiat, favorabh conditions for seasoning are estab lished and no rotting will occur. Sapwood absorbs preservative so much more readily than heartwood that when both cross-arms in which sapwood abounds and those in which heartwood predominates are treated in the same run the former absorb an excessive amount before the latter have received what they require Tills is not only a needless expensi hut a detriment, Inasmuch as the excess of creosote In the sapwood later oozes out and drips on those wiio walk beneath. To solve this difficulty, the cross-arms should he sorted in three classes, as sapwood intermediate, and heartwood. and treated in different runs.
