V ^iHie veneered furniture of fifty j * years ago cannot compare with that< made today. The former practice ; was to make a single piece of in-1 ferior wood as the base of the article and to cover it skillfully with paper thin veneer, glued into place. As a consequence the natural warpinga of the base wood, its contraction and expansion under changing atmospheric conditions and, in moist weather, the failure of th? ^lue caused the veneer to crack, undulate or peel off. The veneering of today is generally thicker and is placed upon a built up base of three ply or nve ply sections, with the ^rain running in different directions in the various layers, so that the > base is actually stronger than any wood that could be secured. Great improvement has also been made in joining the pieces together, impervious cements having taken the place of inferior glues. It can be seen that this built up process is -i ? in no sense a cueap uue, um m audition to giving more satisfactory results in the finished furniture it has its chief value in making the supply of choice material for the exterior finish go much farther. Moreover, by certain methods of cutting the veneer many beautiful effects can be obtained, and it is possible not only to match similar pieces of wood, but by cutting from the same stock to make all of a set of furniture similar in its effect. Sometimes one log, by judicious cutting, can be made to furnish a like pattern for the furniture and interior finish of any given room. Thus the manufacturer has not only perfected a device to make his supply go farther, but to make it more useful and beautiful. And use and beauty, bv all the tenets of furniture making, are the two ends to be chiefly sought.?Woodcraft. i * . . ' The Sirloin.

There Are Ssvcral Variet.es of This ] Disease of the E/es. Conjunctivitis, which is tho most i common form of sore eves, is an inflammation of the thin, transparent membrane covering the front surface of the eveball and lining the lids. Oculists distinguish several varieties of this disease, the symptoms of which vary greatly in intensity. There may bo merely a bloodshot condition, due to the enlargement of the blood vessels to such a size that they become visible, accompanied by an itching and a feeling as if there were dust in the eves, with perhaps a little sticky discharge which glues the lids together in the morning. The eyes are also sensitive to light and sometimes ache slightly. In more severe cases the discharge is profuse and yellowish, ulcers may form, and the inflammation may even extend to the deeper structures of the eye and so destroy Eight. One of the chronic forms of con- , junetivitis is that known as trachoma, or granular lids. This is very { difficult to cure and often results in a permanent injury to vision. It is also quite contagious. Indeed, all J forms of sore eye are probably con- < tagious, but some are more so than ] others, and for this reason the most \ tnwinnlnm r>ror>? 11 1* r?n I ohoilld 1)C U^/UIVUO j/t VVWM??VMw ... taken to protect the other member* of the family when one has any form of conjunctivitis. The sufferer should sleep in a bed by himself and should have his own towels, wash rag or sponge and handkerchiefs, and these when soiled should be thoroughly boiled in a separate vessel and should not go into the common wash. The treatment of simple conjunctivitis consists chiefly in clean- . liness. The eyes should be bathed often in lukewarm water containing a pinch of salt or in a solution of boric acid, and some of the solution , should be dropped into the eye, so [ as to wash away the discharge. The eyes should be shielded from the light by smoked glasses or gog- 4 gles. I Little squares of cloth, cut large *i enough to cover the eye, may be ' placed on a cake of ice. When cold V they can ho laid on the eve and ^ changed rw soon cs they become ( warm. This application is often 1 very grateful to the sufferer and is . useful in subduing the rnflamma- J tion. If the trouble does not quickly subside under this simple treat- < ment a physician should be consult- * ed, for the eye is a very delicate organ, and irremediable mischief may result if inflammation is allowed to t run on. A very Berioua form of sore eye . is sometimes seen in newborn babies. This should never be trifled with, but the doctor's attention should be called to it at once. Children who suffer from repeated attacks of conjunctivitis should be taken to the oculist for an ex- ^ amination of the eyes, for it may be that they need glasses. ? Youth's \ Companion. Delirium Tremens. The familiar symptoms of delirium tremens, known as "snakes," have been made the subject of study g with some interesting results. It appears that what have been sup- i posed to be hallucinations have a J certain sort of evidence in fact. Certain blood vessels in the eyes become congested and assume a < dark color. These when they appear on the retina, which is ordinarily transparent, suggest to the . nervous and overwrought patient the presence of some moving, living creature. Imagination, of course, increases the nervousness, and final- 4 ly the mind becomes so disordered that the form of an offensive creature is suggested. As these fancies ' grow by what they feed on, it is easy to see how creeping and crawling things may fill the soul of the victim with the most horrible sensations. i Gloves of Mary, Queen of Soota. The famous gloves of Mary, i queen of Scots, are still in existence. ' She gave them on the day of her execution to a gentleman of the Dayrell family, and they still re- i main in the possession of his de- f scendants. They are described as being of a cool, buff colored leather, embroidered on the gauntlet in silk and silver wire. Pink roses, trees in two shades of green and a bird in flight appear upon these wonderful gloves, and the bright red lining of the cuffs i9 still as fresh and gay as when the unhappy queen first donned them. Silk and leather gloves were not the only kind with which the Scottish queen was familiar, for the poor lady had reason to remember the iron glove of Lindesey, when he forced his way to her chamber to demand her abdication, grasping her shouldar so rudely as to leave marks on it for many a day.
