The Shipper Ashore. "Good men to have In etuir^c o rny sort c.f work that Involves the handling of men. end especially good for such v.ork that Is also more or less outdoors, as for Instance the superlntendenco of piers and the care of or work on any sort of boats, and work In and about warehouses, and that sort of thing," anld a steamshipman, "are retired captains and mater of vessels. "They have to be good and able men to get up to places such as they have held on the sea, and the qualities that have made them successful afloat are equally valuable In any work they may t*e called upon to do, and especially In such work as I have Indicated ashore. “They are accustomed to command. for one thing; they can make men work and keep them going; they can get. things done They are likely to be able to pick out the right soil of men for busses, If they have control of many men, and they know how to handle things and how to stow things te the best advantage. "They are all the time watchful and alert, as they have all their lives been accnstomed to he at sea, of necessity. Instinctively or by observation they know ths weather la advance and always take due precaution a regarding It; they never get caught napping. "Accustomed to taking no chance, but to having men on watch night utwl day at sea, they set wiatches Just the same on land, and fir™that special terror to men on ship, they guard against and look out for here with the game care that they would afloat). "You see, the man In com wand of a vessel lives In a world of Uls own, where everything depends on him, and where he must look out for everything, end so he develops constant watchfulness and resourcefnlness In emergency and readiness In action; he must be In the nature of things an able man, and that’s why the sea captain or mute, retired perhaps for some disability that may Impair hie usefulness at sea, may make In the right place an especially good man ashore.’’’

No sooner had she reached the decision than, as luck would li. c it, Jim Sykes stopped by lo lake hi i nioiorln;'. and in a wooded anot up on Jerome avenue they fpied u terile dii'gently cro ing the road, and ran light ov(*t him. Jane hopped out of ih car in no time and, finding the cnvnture uninjured and hi.-slug in n lively fashion, at once secured him, hi out It him home to tlio aparir.i'nt tud elirictcncd b ra the Di uiu At(crney. It was very late when she reached home and very hot. Jane eould not just find a proper pun for the Uislrii l Attorney, so she w rung out a towel in ei.Id water and put it on the Hoo; in ihe sitting room by the open window. Tho District Attorney was u mud turtle, and the towel seeiut d as good as a bank of mud for him to wallow in. Now Jane was alone in the apartment and she left a light, the tall standing lamp turned very low to scare burglars, and she went to bed with her door open to let a breeze through. In the middle of the nit‘ht she awoke. In the .sitting room Bounded the most blood curdling bumping hack and forth. She leaned out ot bed and swung the door wide open, and her heart turned over and jumped up into her mouth. Along the floor, wriggling to and fro and bumping like mad, flopped and squirmed a long snake like white something. To and fro, up and down it turned and twisted and presently made for the open door into tho bedroom. As it came toward her Jane remembered with a sick despair tbat the matches were on the sideboard in the dining room. That long

MetalU/ing Wood In France. An Interesting method of applying a preservative to railway sleepers sad timber is described in LTndusIrie Electrique of Paris. The process consists of the artificial metallization of the pores of the wood, the metal being deposited electrically. In brief, the method requires, first, the application of a solution of some salt—sulphate of copper, for example—by placing the wood Immersed In the solution in a closed chamber and Subjecting it to pressure. The wood Is thus thoroughly Impregnated with the solution. It Is then taken out, and piled up In layers In a conrreto reservoir. The first layer of timber la Immersed In the same copper sulphate solution, and also rests on a layer of jute or other fibrous material, which Is supported by an electrode made of woven strands of copper. Similar electrodes are placed between each layer of timber as they are piled up to the desired height. Alternate electrodes are then connected to the opposite poles of an alternating current supply, and ths current Is allowed to pass. The ar lion Is said to decompore the solution and set free metallic copper in the pores of the wood. Besides the preservative action In thus closing the pores, It Is said that a certain amount of copper sulphate Is permarunetly retained In the pores, giving an additional r.nd a decided preservativo effect.

Why Konthorn llllnnl* Is Called Ugx pt The year 1821 wan very wet. Corn on Hut lands was a total failure.Tlilu ye?r the weevil destroyed the wheat after It was harvested. The next year. lS2f>, there was a remarkable rrowth of . hlstles ob tho branch hottoms. The winter of 18:10-31, was known ne the winter of deep snow. The srin-.v whs of a depth from two and a ha'f to three fret on tho level. It drifted much and was very dps'.riietlvo to fruit tree?. Tho weather was Intensely hot. Both In 1831 nnd 1 822 the early frosts so injured the corn ss to entirely render It worthless for almost «ny purpose.
