INCREASING USES FOR VENEER

Process by Which It Is Prepared for the Cabinetmakers. Hardw'ood trees, such as the oak, the walnut, and the ash have been made more valuable in modern days by the invention ofyveneering machines, up the logs into a uniform thickness of less than onetwentieth of kn inch. Veneering is not a new art, but in early days it was all hand work, and the process was so slow and laborious that the cost was great. Some of the old furniture of Colonial days shows how patiently and accurately the first American cabinet makers w (irked; but as a rule solid wood furniture was preferred andmanufactured. The veneer of today, says the Christian Endeavor World, instead of Cheapening furniture, really makes it in many respects superior to the solid hardwood articles. The several layers of veneer are glued in the surface with the grain running in opposite directions. This gives a firm, substantial finish, which will rarely warp in hot or cold weather, or swell or crack. Heavy mahogany or oak doors are inconvenient to handle, but by making the doors of IJfelit wood and veneering them on the outside we have handsome doors that are easy to handle, and which never warp and sag. Altogether, the veneer is considered one of the greatest improvements in the wood working industry of the day. Without veneering machinery it would of course, be impossible to place fine cabinet articles within the reach of the multitude. Parlor and ornamental furniture and cabinet pieces, with handsome veneered surfaces, appear in nearly all of our homes. The very best of the oak, the walnut and the ash trees are selected for veneering. Only the 1 poor, coarse and knotty logs are turned over to the manufacturers of the cheaper articles. A large walnut tree, with a perfect grain is worth a good deal of money; for it can be made into hundreds of feet of veneer. -1 The veneering machines are of two kinds —sawing and slicing. The former was at one time considered the best and people demanded only sawed veneer for the choice furniture, but it requires an expert today to distinguish the difference. “T Expert woodsmen are traveling through the great all the time' in the interests of the veneering companies, and when they find a handsome hardwood tree they buy it. Sometimes it is found in the heart of the woodg and again on s.ome lonely farm or in the dcoryard of a small country home. _lf it is large, straight and perfect in grain, ten times as much will l:e out for it as it would be worth for ordinary lumbering purposes. These perfect specimens- of hard-" wood trees~are then cut and trimmed, sawed info convenient lengths, peeled and even spilt. The logs ars shipped to the factory in this rough condition, sometimes thirteen to twenty feet in length. The first process is to cook them. This is done by plunging them into a vat of hot water or steam, where they are left until th§y become soft and pliable. When propdrly cooked they go to the veneering machines. These either Slice or saw the legs intp slabs of an inch in thickness. So perfect are the slicing or cutting machines that the veneer does not vary' a hair’s breadth throughout its’ whole length. The usual veneer is one-twentieth of an inch in thickness, which is so thin that it scorns as if it must be broken when handled; but in its soft, pliable condition it rarely cracks or breaks. Next it is hardened or seasoned by steaming, which takes from one to two dfiys. When it has been properly seasoned the moisture is all extracted from it, and it is strong,'tough and elastic. The veneer is then ready for the cabinetmaker. He cuts it into different lengths to suit his purpose, utilizing every small piece that might otherwise prove waste. Nearly every spuare inch of the log is used by the cabinet makers, so that the I amount of waste in a tree is signlfiI cant. Nearly everything is veneered today, from our pianos and sideboards to cars and the interior of ferryboats. Car manufacturers are among the largest consumers of veneers, and ope may study’something of the art any time during a journey in cars or boats.. The art of the cabinet workers is I skilful and cunning. They lay the veneers on so that no joints are visible, and by running the grain of one layer opposite to that of the next they toughen and harden the surface so that it rarely warps'or shrinks. The graip of the veneers comes out. better than solid wood, and the surface will take a much higher polish, while the strength and durability are remarkable, considering the built up character of the wood.

The Camera Today.

Thirty years ngo a camera was a rarity, says tho World’s Work. The enthusiast who possessed one carried a mountain of traps afield and smoth ered In a tent during his tedious man Ipulatlon of the wet plates. Last year the United States alone made 30U,000 cameras, worklng’iwlth the njsre pressure of a bulb or button, and the photographic business reached the respectable commercial total of |20,0(10,000.

Had Met Before.

A young medical student came face to i:u.e with a dear, kind, fatherly looking gentleman, with white hqir and of highly respectable appearance. They both- stood transfixed. The same idea ■•l.xshed across both of them. “Your faqe is familiar—very familiar; but I- can't remember where' we have met So- often,” However the friendly impulse was carried ofi|. They ihoak hands warmly, partodE of a friendly glass and departed, still, ignorant of eacfi • other’s name and occupation. But the young man was determined jo solve the problem, and he seized on a waiter and said 'to. liiin; . ■ “Toll me, waitdi. who is that distinguished stranger with the long white hair?’’ And the waiter whispered slowly: “Phase, sir, that's the pawnbroker.”

Got His Wish.

Prof. Edgar L. Lurkin, the noted astronomer, was discussing marriage at a dinner; in San Francisco. Prof. Larkin belie es that it is criminal to continue for life marriages that are unhappy. “Why condemn,” he said, with a grim laugh, ‘men and- women to such misery as afflicts our mutual friends, the Blanks? We. have all mutual friends, in the Blank's position. “Ar the ■ height of their usual quarrel the other- day Airs. Blank choked back a sob and said, reproachfully: . - ~ “‘I was reading one of your, old letters today, James, apd ■ you said in it that you would rather live in endless torment with me than in bliss by yourself.’ “ ‘Well, 1 got my v,is X/ Blank growled.”

In the Waist.

She was examining her new waist by the aid of the big mirror. “Dear me!” she exclaimed, pettishly, “I can’t see anything pretty in this.” ‘Well, I can,” chuckled the young man who was sitting on the sofa. “Really? And what do ybu see pretty in it?” 1 —— ■ “Why, you.” ' And then she blushed and said she thought the waist' was just too Igvely* for anything.

They Go Together.

said the yer.ig wife, who had' taker: rp physic.:! cal Lure, “how do you t’knk I am- 'I ’ili?” “My dear,” replied her husbaml fondly, ’you are In;i.i Hire a wr.tib.” “Thank you, Henry. And Henry?” “Well?” r “If —if I am built like a watch, don't ym. think. I should have a few jewels? 7 ’ z'.ml than Henry frcwr.pd anil said ’ the liid-i who compliments a woman is an idiot.

Long Deferred.

Meeker —“Yes, I'm perfectly willing for my wife tc have the last v.ord, but —’’ Blecker —‘Then what’s the trouble?” Meeker —“The trouble is sb Jiasn’t reached it yet, although wo have been married seventeen years.”

An Artful Dodger.

.“Yes,” saiS the candidate, “I must admit that when those hoodlums down at Podunk tried to argue with me I dodged the issue.’’ “Why did you do that?” queried the campaign manager. ■ “Because,” explained the candidate “they tried to argue with eggs.”

Guilty!

Squiggs —“Goodman was arrested for beating his wife yesterday.” Squnggs —“Heavens! Is it possible? I always fancied him to be the best of husmmds.” ' Squiggs .£o he is; but they were racing automobiles and he got beyond tlie speed limit ; nd was jerked; he beat her, though.”

The Greedy Band.

“When he was poor he was a good poet, but prosperity ruined him.”' “How was that?” “As soon as he began getting a dollar a word, he wouldn’t stick to the meter. Insisted on jamming in oxXra words.” -

Good Reason.

Towne—Why do you call young Fetherbranc “Cholly?” His first name is Noah. Browne —Yes, but that's so inappropriate. Noah had sense enough to get in out of the rain.

Secure.

Depositor—"ls this hank safe?” Cashier—" Well, I can say that not a cent ever gets away from the directors."

Suckers!

Diner—"l thought you advertised that you were serving fish today?” Waiter—" Well, I’m here for that purpose; what’ll you have?"

Timely Warning.

"My friends,” said the campaign orator, "beware of the unscrupulous briber. (Applause) There are men so lost to shame that they will offer you a shilling for your vote. (Hisses) Do* not listen to them. Spurn them. Be on j*our dignity. Demand) more." (Continued applause.)

FAIR EXCHANGE A New Back for an Old One. How it Inn Be Done In Rensselaer. The back aches at times with a dull, indescribable feeding, making you weary and restless; piercing pains shoot across the region of the kidneys, and again the loins are so lame to stoop Is agony. No use to rub or apply a plaster to the back in this condition. You cannot reach the cause. Exchange the bad back for a new and stronger one. Rensselaer residents would do .well to profit by the following example:, slrs7 Jose'ph Houk, Benton St., Goodland, Ind., says: “I used Doan's Kidney Pills and they proved of great benefit to me. I suffered from backache and pains across my loins. I was unable to sleep at night and as the result I had no strength or ambition to perform my housework. My kidneys were weak and the secretions became irregular in passage, giving me great annoyance and I became very nervous. Hearing of Doan’s Kidney Fills, I decided to try them and procured a box. In a very short time I felt much better. I continued to take them and. was benefited in"' every way.” For sale by all dealers. Price 50c. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo,New York, sole agents for the United States. Remember the name—Doan’s—and take no other.

Hurry! llurrle! Hurrah? Good! I have just secured a train load of Booth’s highly flavored oysters direct from the Booth Hatcheries jn Baltimore.

So Hurry up and get your oysters for your turkey dinner tomorrow. There is nothing like an'oyster dressing for a good and noble Thanksgiving dinner. Even all the poor devils in prison get turkey and oysters on Thanksgiving. I have the best place in town for bread and cakes. The loaves are as big as my N. Y. Counts, and my N-, Y. Counts are as big as my lies. GEO. FATE, The Fat Dinner and Baker Man. , Model Restaurant and Bakery. •"I suffered habitually from constipation.
