LINCOLN'S LIFE MASK. I
I
It Was Looked Upon Wrth Wonder and
Admiration In F^nce.
"It is to Frenchmen that is due
the credit of first seeing the true
beauty of the life mask, of appreciating
it and describing it. When
I took a plaster copy in 1877 to the
oldest Paris bronze founder to get
it cast in bronze I put it down on a
table side by side with a mask of
the Abbe Lamenais. The first words
of the founder were: 'What a beau
* * i
tifuJ face: A> tiy, it s more ocauuiui
rnd has more character than the
abbe's, and we think that is the
handsomest one in France! What
an extraordinary construction, and
what fine forms it has!' Then he
asked who it was and added, 41 shall
take pleasure in showing it to Soand-so,'
naming several of the principal
sculptors in Paris for whom
he did work.
"Fremiet was particularly interested.
He said, among other things:
Tt 6eems impossible that a new
country like yours should produce
poch a face. It is unique.' Then
he asked: 'Do you know anything
about the physique of this man?
He must have been tall and slim,
having little flesh and very alert in
action.' As I was then making
some sketches of a statuette, baaed
upon verv little knowledge of Lincoin's
physical appearance, FWmiefs
suggestions were of great
value, as I knew him to be learned
ethnologist. He then recommended
me te get tor a model a man of
the neighborhood who was tall and
slim, but very compactly built. His
height whs six feet four inches, the
aama, as I learned long afterward,
as that of Lincoln. At the close of 1
our conversation Fremiet said: 'You
have in hand a wonderfully intereating
subject %| envy you/
"Some weeks after, when I went
to get the bronzy copy, the founder

preciative terms of what they saw '

they said: It is unusual in general
construction, it has a new and interesting

remarkably beautiful and subtle. If

Dodging Shot.
When Dewey was first lieutenant <
of one of the gunboats which Farragut
used as a dispatch boat the admiral
used often t$ come aboard
and steam up hear the levee to rec- *
onnoiter. The southerners had a
wnv of rushinrr a fieldpiece to the
TTrf # w
top of the high bank, firing point
blank at the gunboat and lien backing
down again. Upon ont; such oc<ytsion
Farragut saw Dewey dodge a
shot.
"Why don't you stand firm, lieutenant?"
said he.' "Don't you know
you can't jump quick enough?"
A day or 60 after the admiral
dodged a shot. '"The lieutenant
smiled, and h?fd his tongue, but the
admiral had a guilty conscience. He
cleared his throat once or twice,
shifted his attitude and finally declared
:
"Why, sir, you cant help it, sir.
It's human nature, and there's an
end to it" f
Playing Gooaabarry.
Playing gooseberry or "to play

connection with sweethearting. A
lass arranges a walk with a lad, but
for some reason she does not care
to go alone, so she takes a friend,
another girl, and the friend "plays
gooseberry." Sometimes the girl
who is invited to share the walk refuses,
saying, "Nay, I'm not going

Ths PaM # Rom*.
Odoacer, the Goth, was proclaimed
king of Italy A. D. 476. This
ended the Roman empire of the
west. The Byzantine, or eastern
empire, founded A. D. 395, with the
division of the epnpire by Theodosins,
fell A. D. 1453 with the capture
of Constantinople by the
Turks. In truth it cannot be said
that any one, or even two, nations
overthrew Rome. Rome was overthrown
by the pressure of the whole
barbarian worla, assisted by the inherent
corruption of the Roman
people.

"Did you ever see such pretty

HOW VENEER IS MADE.
An Interacting Industry Ftund In |
Lumber Centers.
How veneer is manufacture is a
mystery to the majority of people, j
The industry is not only one of the i
chief occupations of Mattoon, Wis., i
but an exceptionally interesting one i
also. j
After a tree has been cut in the |
woods and' brought to the mill on
flat cars it is rolled into a pond (
near the mill. Logs are hoisted
from the pond to a drag saw, where <
they are cut into various lengths. I
They are then put into a steam box
for at least twelve hours in order to
soften the timber. This steam box
is a large box directly behind the
drag saw, into which the timber is"
piled. A two inch pipe containing (
holes through which the steam can (
escape passes through this steam
box. At the end of twelve hours i
the timber is removed from the i
steam box, and then coi. the proc- i
ess called peeling. With spuds and .]
axes the bark is removed easily, for
the timber is soft now and red hot. 1
It is.then ready to enter the mill <
and l)e cut into veneer. .. 'v , (
The peeled lo? is hoisted on a j
crane to the veneer lathe, and that i
it the last one sees of the log. When
it once pe^es this lathe it oomes <
oat on the other tide in long., thin >
sheets of veneer. According - to i
thickness desired, R is cut from
one one-hundredth of an inch to ;
one-half inch thick and sixty-fow
inches long.
As the veneer leaves the machine !
it slides along a table thirty feet in
length. Ten feet from the end is
the clipper, where it is clipped into t
different widths, an inch being allowed
for drying. It is now ready
to enter the drying process. 1
The drier is eight feet wide and j
100 feet long. It is a chain driven <
machine throughout, having feur
WU 01 rwicre. xu vnuti w mw i
this drier there are 90,000 .het of ,
one inch pipes passing through it <
ibore and below each set of rollers. 1
The temperature must always be j
from 200 to 250 degrees. Veneer <
is put into the drier at one end, or,
in other words, fed to the drier.
While the veneer slowly moves
through the machine it is also dried, i
so that it is smooth and dry, but i
very hot. The men in charge of '
the veneer at that end always wear '
canvas gloves to prevent their hinds <
from becoming burned and blister- ]
ed, while the perspiration runs free- <
lv from their faces. It takes from ?
fifteen minutes to two hours for :
veneej.^o work through this drier 1
one way/ , ' r ; '
The second story of the local mill
is known as the glue room. Here ;
veneer is glued together for furniture
factories, bordering panels for <
dressers and glass backing.
The machine known as the hy- i
draulic veneer press is ten feet high.
The veneer that has been glued for
panels or glass backing is placed in
this machine, and by pressure of
water in a tank beneath it slowly
forces the vepeer together until.it
is firm and dry. Then it ia removed, 1
packed, and shipped, ? Milwaukee

man life told the story of Desgenettes,
which, though well known,
is worth telling again, as it is told
by Desgenettes himself. .
When the French were about to
evacuate Jaffa the question arose
what was to be done with the
plague stricken soldiers in the hos:
pital. Desgenettes says: "Shortly
before the raising of the siege?that
is to say, on the 2?th?General
Bonaparte sent for me very early
in the morning to come to his tent,
where he was alone with his chief
of the staff. After a short preamble
as to our sanitary condition he said

at once- the sufferings o? those
stritken with plague and should end
the dangers which they threaten us
by giving them opium/

developed his idea with the greatest
coolness, saying that he was advising
for others what in like circumstances
he would ask for himself.
"He pointed out to me that he
was, before any (me else, charged
with the conservation of the army,
and consequently it was his duty to
prevent our abandoned sick from
falling alive under the scimiters of
the Turk*. 'I do not seek/ he went
on, 'to overcome your repugnance,
but I believe I shall find some who
will better appreciate my intentions.'
" Desgenettes goes en to
say that opium was, as a matter of
fact, given to some thirty patients.
It happened, however, tnat a certain
number rejected it by vomiting,
were relieved, got well and told
wh;it had happened. The story has
been told in various ways, and the
fart of the poisoning of the sick
soldiers has been accepted by the
enemies of Napoleon and domed by
the defenders of his memory. Desgenettes'
narrative bears the stamp
of truth.?British Medical Journal.
Tha Story of a Caxton.

which he tells the story of the unearthing

entrusted with the work of weeding
out the superfluous books. A perfect
copy of Dame Juliana Berner's
