VENEERED WOOD.
Th? W?y H It Built Up In Laytrt Wit*
Impervious Ctmtnt.
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.

Those who desire to pay their taxes
through the mail, would expedite matters
by dropping the Treasurer a postal
asking for the amount of their tax so as
to avoid sending the wrong amount,
also stating the township or townships,
(if property is owned in more than one)
and if possible give school district where
property is located, also state whether
poll or road tax, or both are wanted.
After paying taxes examine your receipts
and see if all of your property is
covered, if not, see about it at once.
By following the above suggestions
complications and additional cost may
be avoided.

CONJUNCTIVITIS.
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 \

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 \

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.
