THE REDWOOD SUPERION TO WAL-
NUT, CHERRY OR MAHOGANY.
now Valuable Timbers Rave Almost
Disappeared—The House Painter‘s Imi-
tation—First Ilse of Redwood as a Fin-
hhlng Lumber—The Sugar Pine.
The ordinary course of human events would
be the discovery of the beauty of our native
woods about the time they disappear. For
the past thirty years house builders have in-
discriminately worked the wavy, bird‘s-eye
or straight grained redwood into sills, sleep-
ers, atudding, sheeting or shingling, appar-
ently inappreciative of the fact that they
were using a 'timber with far more natural
beauty than‘the costly black walnut, cherry
or mahogany that were imported at so great
an expense.
For fifty years black walnut was split into
rails in the Mississippi valley, although now
it is worth $400 per 1.000 feet for ornamental
work. The white ash of the eastern states
was nearly gone before the marvelous beauty
'ofitegraining was discovered by the furni-
ture makers. Now every part of the country
is marked to find crooked and knotty trees
to be worked into fancy lumber. Maple, ex-
cept that it was the source for the farmers’
“sweetening,” would have disappeared a
century ago as firewood. Within the mem-
. cry of men now living great piles of it were
burned for the ashes, which were sold at ten
cents a bushel to be worked into black salts
at the “potashery,” formerly a necessary ad-
junet to every country store.
As these valuable timbers disappear-ed,
house painters tried in immitato the inimita-
ble beauties of the lost woods. Such imita-
tions they were! The clumsy daub looked
something like a whale in a high sea, a vessel
stranded on rocks, or the final catastrophe
predicted by the seer of the isle of Patmos.
Of course, there were artists whose work
wasnotsoodensive to good taste, but why
not have use the original woods for what
they were worth, taking measures to pre-
serves the beautiful grainings?
. In frontier life, away from saw and plan»
ing mills, the lumber that readily splits into
shingles, shakes, siding. fence rails and pick-
ets is the first fobeappropriated. Such were
the sugar pines of the Sierras and the woods
of the coast range. The former are nearly
gone, and the latter are disappearing at a
rate that will soon make them things of the

board is a study for an artist.
examines or hoaxes.
The cheap lumber made of the smaller and
crooked trees is especially interesting. The
writer, for years, has been in the habit of
visiting buildings in process of erection to
study the different_ graim'ngs of the boards
used. Most of the cheap lumber had a mix-
ture of early, tangled grained wood, with
portions of white sap wood. the latter form-
ing a cheerful contrast with the russet of the
center of the boards. Sometimes the knots
were sawed through, that gave an idea of
pomible landscapes. The writer has seen a mar-
velous representation of plain and mountain
produced by the juncture of light and dark
wood. Rough lumber from the saw showed
an innumerable variety of styles; how much
more interesting it would be dressed, and the
graining brought out! Every line of it is
beyond imitation by any artist, yet it was all
buried under paint. paper or plaster.
Some twenty-five years ago a builder in one
of the northern coast towns erected a public
hall. using the native redwood as a finishing
lumber. The lower wainscotting. three feet
from the floor, reaching to the windows, was
in alternate white and dark redwood. Be-
tween the windows, which were eight feet
high and eight feet apart, were panels of red-
wood of selected logs sawed slashwisc; that
is, the logs were set on the blocks so that the
saw ran across the grain, producing what
house painters call “hen-ing bone work.” The
lumber was (1er with the grain to work
smoothly, and the knives of the planets left
no “eaty places.”
In selecting the lumber for the panel work
the continuity of the graining was separated
—no two boards from the adjoining parts of
a log being placed in company. The work
was further varied by reversing every alter-
nate board and half of, the herring bone
pointing upward and the other half down,
the lines nearly fading out in the while wood.
Each panel of eight feet square was framed
in with the zizzag redwood, sawed from the
butts of the trees for this purpme. The space
above the windows, four feet wide, was fin-
ished in white redwood, the 'ceiling or over-
head being lined with cloth and covered with
a light wall paper.
The effect was marvelous. No one enter-
ing the hall the first time could believe that
the panels were anything but the work of a
skillful painter. The wavy lines resembled
mountains, valleys, lakes and sea. The occa- -
sional knots, seen at the distance of a few
feet, amumed all sorts of mysterious appear-
ances. The rustic population who came to
dance would often gaze in wonder at the
curious effects produced by the woodwork.
nanwoon AND PINE.
Recently a few builders have been daring
enoughtointroduce the native uoods as a
finishing lumber. The Wilcox house, at Los
Gates, is finished in redwood and pine, care
being taken to preserve all the fine grainings,
The natural tint of the sugar pine is con-
verted into a gold color by use of shellac
varnish; the redwood, by the same means, is
made to resemblethe russet leather, so fash-
ionable at the resent time for house finishing
inthe east. be general effect is pleasant
. and cheerful. It is not a coarse imitation; it
istruth, and will induce frequent observm
flea and admiration.
Many attempts heretofore to utilize the
utiful grainings of the native timbers
ailed because of improper finish. Finished
in oil, as oak frequently is, the whole becomes
a, dull brown, the graining ultimately dis-
appearing; finished with shellac, the surface
.becomes hard and the markings are pre-
served.
The redwood furnishes an immense variety
of colorings. The outer portion of the trunk of
atree is a delicate white; the center a deep
ruaset brown. Large tmes have ahabit of
settling down upon themselves near the
ground. Sometimes the lower part of the
trunks are twice the size of that above. This
results in a curly or wavy grain, or a bird’s-
eye appearance, according to the way the log
is sawed. Formerly, and in many cases even
now, high scaffolds were built in order to
chop the tree off above the “bulge,” which
was considered useless. Generally these en-
larged portions are carefully saved, as there
h a growing demand for the curiously marked
wood. .
Tao roots, too. are beginning to be sought
for as cabinet lumber. Many think the
stumps and roots, which will neither burn
nor rot out, will yet bring more than the
original price of the trees—San Francisco
Chronicle.
An Unhappy Life.
“0h, Mr. Lighthead,” remarked Miss Old-
girl, with a simper, “I've seen just eighteen
happy summers to-day."
“Only eighteen happy ones?" replied he,
with pity in his tone; “what an unhappy life
you must have hadI"—New York Sun.
Is It “Neether” or “Hither?"
The pronunciation of the word “neither" is
very generally considered to be a matter of
taste. Most dictionaries give both pronun-
ciations, but good speakers invariably give
the long 0 sound, although the long i sound is
generally supposedto have no more serious
objection than being somewhat affected, and
is a pronunciation often adopted by clergy-
men, especially Episcopalians. It is how-
ever, incorrect, as its origin will show. It is
well known that the German pronunciation
of o is-long, as “due feind," the enemy, while
the English rule isto pronounce the diph-
thong as long 0, as “receive.” The long e
sound was invariably given in “neither”
until the reign of George I of England.
Being of the house of Hanover, and speaking
English indidercntly, he gave the German
pronunciation to tho diphthcng. Court para-
sites thought it properto ope the king and
this pronunciation spread. Few people know
this origin, and hence the general mistako.— .

Hebrew Capital in New York.
On all New York commercial exchanges
the Hebrews are seen among the most in-
fluential members. In banking their capital
is set down at $100,000,000. The clothing
trade is almost entirely in their hands. From
Canal street to Union square, of the 1,200
Broadway firms over 1,000 bear Hebrew
names, and the adjoining side streets are
filled with their places. On a Jewish holiday
that part of the city seems deserted. Max
Well is the richest Jew in the city, his figure
being estimated at 88.000000. Following
him are forty other millionaires of the same
race. The Hebrew capital in the Cotton Exv
change is over $0,000,030, and of city real cs.
tote they hold at least $100,000,000. An esti-
mate of the animal transactions of the whole-
mle trade of New York done by Hebrews
puts the figures at $262,000,000. It is a
'strauge- fact that there are comparatively
few Jews in Brooklyn—New York Star.
Working to Commissioner.
The state dairy commission is in a pickle.
Commissioner Ives some time ago made the
statement that no cow’s milk, under the legal
test, would go above 5 per cent. After this
he went to the Farmers' institute, at Farm-
ington, and while there was presented with p.
mmple of milk-that under test went 11 per
cent. The eyes of the commission and the
granch bulged out at this and will remain
so until they read this and learn that the sam-
ple was carefully exgracted from sheep owned
by Carl Judson. Commissioner Ives will un-
derstand the miracle them—St. Paul Pioneer

now the Records Are Obtained, How
They Are Kept, and the Use That Is
Made of Them—History In a False
Light. '
The place where “war reminiscences" are
made is here in Washington. It is a little
square graystone building on G street. Any
sort of war reminiscence that is wanted can
be had their on very short notice. The war
articles that appear in such numbers in popu-
lar magazines and newspapers, written by
great generals and privates with wonderful
recollections. come in part or in full from
this place. . If a general of either army is
called upon by The Century, or some other
popular periodical, to write his recollections
of the war. he repairs at once to this place to
gather up his recollections. It is a sort of
magic cell which awakens lagging memory
and corrects popular fallacies Gen. Wal-
lace, Gen. Beauregard, Col. Allen. Gen.
Cor-ac, Gen. Smith and Gen. Sherman all go
there to put on their thinking caps; or, when
they do not go in person, they write for in-
formation. This great weakener of recollec-
tions is the war records office. The amountof
information they have collected is almost in-
conceivable. Many old war veterans go
there and search out the old documents before
writing the history of what they saw. It ‘is
astonishing how often they are forced by the
cold, dried and well preserved facts to discard
pet notions about how things were, and are
obliged to revise their impressions about
things with which they had thought them—
selves entirely familiar. »
Frequently officers of the two opposing
armies, who have led the charge against each
other-’3 forces, have met here for the first time
to know each other. Each looking at the
battle or the maneuver from adifferent stand-
point, they come to look over the records to
see how it really was. There is no chancefor
any quarrel about it. There is no room for
any exaggeration. The records are right at
hand to sustain the truth or to brand a fallacy.
Generally, both men find that their impres-
sions were not quite right. Facts make friends;
so they soon become cordial. There have
been some remarkable meetings here of men
who have fought hard face to face, but never
met before. All who have met this way have
become friends. They sit and talk the whole
thing over, correct each other’s errors of
memory, or are both set right by the record.
Sherman, Sheridan, Beauregard, Hunt, W-
laca. Long and the younger Lees have met
there. Sherman has drawn largely upon
these records in some of his writings. Gen.
Grant, while writing his book, was in con-
stant communication with Gen. Marcus J.
Wright, who does the work of collecting the
Confederate records. A large amount of the
matter in the book was get in this way. He
also furnished information to the office and
corrected some erroneous statements made.
Jeff Davis has drawn upon this source for in-
formation for use in his book. Gen. Wright
has in his possession a letter book filled with
nothing but letters from Grant and Davis
upon the same subjects.
Strange to say, Jeff Davis was among the
very first to respond to the call of the govern-
ment for official papers of the Confederacy.
He sent all his papers cheerfuuy as soon as
he received the request. When the work 'of
collecting the records was first begun, it was ‘
thought that they would never be able to get
enough of the Confederate papers to make
the record complete; but for nine years now
Gen. Wright has been writing to the surviv-
ing Confederate officers, or the families of
officers who were killed, and he has succeeded
in collecting fully as complete a record of the
Confederate army as is bad of the Federal.
All letters or orders written by ofilcials or
ofiiccrs of the army during the war that re-
late at all to the subject of the war are col-
lected and compiled and printed without edit-
ing. When the work is all done there will
have to be another history of the war written
from those records. Many things that' have
been accepted as truths will be proved by
arose records to be absolutely false. They
will show that officers on both sides have
been overestimated and that other officers
have never got the credit that was due them.
There is a sort of hole of romance sur-
rounding all the battles that puts history in a
false light. Officers in writing reports of
battles, under the excitement of the time,
have often fallen into the error of exagger-
ating the enemy’s forces. One very popular
error which has been corrected by thwe
records is with relation to the first battle of
[2112] Run. It has always been believed that
the Federal f0rccs on that occasion greatly
outnumbered the Confederates. It has gone
into history so. In the north, as well as in
the south, it has been accepted as a. fact not
to be disputed, and the northern people have
always felt a little shame that their large
army should have been defeated by so much
smaller force of Confederates. These records
bring to light the fact that there was not a
difference of 1,000 men between the strength
of the two armies, and of those actually en-
gage-l in the battle, the Confederates had
v.1; .1500 of as many men as tho Federals.
Thor.- are a number of other cases where the
odtlmf battle have been accepted as very
heavy when such was not the case, and there
are the expositions of plans and purposes
that throw an entirely new light on the his-
tory—Washington Star.
Apaches on a Spree.
No drink loving old topers ever enjoyed
their liquor so much as have the Apaches
whenever they could‘ procure it, a vice, how-
ever, that is rapidly subsidiug as the tribes
are concentrated at agencies more directly

made a fermented drink called tiz win, which
is not as strong as the corn whisky of civiIi-.

it compensates for its lack of strength. For
some three days before it has reached its
highest point of fermentation not a single
piece of food is swallowed.
At the end of that period they fill them-
selves to their utmost capacity with the un-

Charity in Paris.
I have been trying to calculate how much
each of the legitimate sufferers of the Opera
Comique fire should get from the various
relief funds which have been started. The
task has proved too hard for even approxi-
mative accuracy, but I take it every victim
will be able to buy a cottage and a cow, and
at least the indispensable three acres. ' There
will be enough left after that to keep the
male victims in cigars for life, and to present.
each female sufferer with a pair of diamond
earrings. I should explain. however, that
this x uugh estimate makes no allowance for
the cost 'of “adrninistration.” I dare say
half of it may be swallowed up in “ex-
nses.” Poor victims! They will have to.
do without the cigars and the diamonds.
Really. one cannot help indulging in sav-
age jokes of this kind if one watches the
comedy that is being played here. This
charity? Well—ofakind it may be.‘ But it
is both the cheapest and the dearest kind in-
vented, and it will be strange indeed if it
“covers a multitude of sins.” Too often the
fetes and balls are pretexts for puflery,
vehicles for vanity. Actors and actresses,
journalists and generals, ducheases and demi-
mondaines, have all been beating the drum
on the back of charity. Themewspapers
have opened subscription lists toshow the
public how much more support they have
than their rivals. A ducheas organime a

the Dangerous Occupations Kill More
lien Than War-A Painful Case.
The great number of recent railroad disas-
ters in New England and the facts that have -
been made public by the discussion of tho re-
cently enacted employers’ liability law in
Massachusetts throw new light on the pre-
ponderance of women in this state. An in-
vestigation of all the facts bearing on this
social phenomenon reveals a tragedy which
may be told in statistics. Who. are these sur-
plus womenf Unmarried women? 80 it has
been supposed, erroneously. '
It has been amumed that they were the un-
married: the maidens and Spinsters “left"in
the struggle for matrimonial prizes, and
therefore presumably not the “fittest." But
aninvestigation made shows that they are
neither young maidens nor spinsters, but they
‘were, not long ago, the “fittest,” the brightest
of their sex, who early won the love and sup
port of brave young fellows, and are ’now
widows. It takes very few figures to tell this
fact in the tragedy. The total excess of fe-
males in the state is 76,373, and of this num-
ber 65,004, or more than 85 per cent. are
widows, the total number of widowod men in
the state being 32,154 and of widowed women
97,158. -
It is not among women of advanced years,
or even among those in middle life. that the
great excess is found. More than half are
not yet 40, and 29,004 are of ages between 20
and 30. They had but tasted of the happi-
nem of wifeth and motherhood when they
were made “superfious.” A great number of
these women are the widows of. the men whoae

lation we read of in our newspapers night and
morning—tho young wage earners killed in

The perils of the fisheries. are afarnilinr
tale. Since earliest colonial days the coast
population has derived its support mainly
from the sea, and if the down east minister’s
salary is no longer paid in cod and mackerel
by weight or count, it isnono the less paid
with cod and mackerel in anoi her way. The
fisherman seee'but little of his home. His
quest takes him 15‘) to 1,000 or
more miles from Gloucester. Ho enters
the little dory, and, casting off from the ves-
sel, exposes himself tothe full force of the
Atlantic. With the best of luck, his suder—
ings are severe, and it is often that the worst
of luck overtakes him. Lost in the fog, he
dies in the ngonies cf starvation and thirst,
and “Inst seen on the Georges" is the only
word that gets back to the desolate home at
Gloucester. From 00 to 160 lives a year-are
lost from fishing vessels hailing from that
single port of Gloucester. Last year the num-
ber was 115.
Not so concentrated in' one locality and
occupation, but enormously greater in the
aggregate, is the loss of life in the inland in-
dustries The network of railroads that
covers the state is the great minotaur. The
average number of fatal'accidents to railroad
employee during the ten years, 1875 to 1886,
The average number of
accidents not fatal was 180, and a large pro-
portion of these, it should be remembered,
result ultimately in premature death. The
average number" of persons not omployes
killed while walking or lying on the track
was 97.9 per year. An analysis of the latter
number shows that the popular notion that
track walkers are usually drunken men or
tramps is as mistaken as popular notions in
general. The majority of them are laborers,
going to and from work by the railroad
track because it isanoro direct than the high-
way.
The fatalities among men who meet death
while actually engaged in the duties of their
calling make up apainful record. Here is
one case from many in my note book. John
Gaylord was a freight brakeman. He was
“one of the boys," buta warm hearted fellow,
with plenty of good sense. Annie Day was a
conrely, affectionate girl, whose father was
an engineer on the same road. When John
was promoted ton. regular post on the plat-
form of a passenger car of a mixed train, and
told that if he kept straight he would be a
baggage master in a few months, he said he
would keep straight and marry Annie. He
kept his word inboth particulars; but the
railroad officers did not keep theirs. John
was still on the platform of like passenger car -
when there were three little Gaylords in
Annie’s neat kitchen. One day John was in
especially good spirits as he started off, and
he looked back and waved his dinner pail to
Armin and the three little faces in the door-
way. The next day the. train had covered
two-thirds of the return trip when the signal
sounded for brakes. John sprang to his
posit. The brakeman on the freight car just
forward saw the passenger car topple to one
sido,saw John straining at the brake, and
turned away his eyes. 'lhe passengers
crawled out,~not one badly injured. and the
trainmen looked about ’for John. They
found him under the wreck, his hands clutch-
ing the broken brake—white, dead.
It was nearly tea time, and nearly time for
John, when Annie heard the ncwsboy's cry-
ing, “Last edition—all about the accident,”
afamiliar cry that‘always filled her with a
dreadful fear. In a moment‘she had the
paper. In the blur of headlines that swam
before her eyes she saw only the words,
“John Gaylord, of this city, kill ” Annie
is now one of the “superfluous" women of
Massachusetts.
Now multiply this case of Annio'Day by
almost the number of weeks lathe year,
change the scenes and incidents in evory
case, and you begin to have adim idea of
the tragedy of railroad employment in this
one little state so full of roads. Multiply by
more than the number of days in the year,
and remember the occupations of the fire-
man, the miner, the quarryman, the roofer,
the painter, the dyer, the grinder of cutlery,
and many more, and you begin to see the
extent of this suffering and struggle.

gar melodrama of sensational accident. It

PLAYING MESSENGER 80V.
flow a Young Chap Managed to Hear a
Famous Parliamentary Debate.
“I would like to have been in London on
Jubilee day,” said a prominent business man.
“It would have been great fun tohave studied
the people who made up the tremendous
crowds on the streets that day. I was in
London on the day that the Gladstone minis.
tryresigned, a year or two ago, and I had
some odd experiences. I wanted very much
to be present at the session of the house .of
commons, because every one believed there
would be extraordinary excitement. I went
to Mr. Wuller, the American consul, and
secured ale.ter to Mr. O’Connor, the consul,
however, assuring methat the chances were
against me. He thought that if I could get
the letter into Mr. O’Connor’s hands I would
succeed, but he did not believe that I could
get the letter to Mr. O’Connor.
“I went to the parliament house to find a
great crowd of prominent and distinguished
people endeavoringto gain admission. The
difficulty I soon discovered was, to have the
three or four lines of policemen give any at-
' teution to the letters carried by persons who ‘
presented them. I noticed, however, that
messengers and telegraph boys went through
the lines without being questioned or detained.
I am not a very large man, and I at once de-
termined to go through the three lines: of

then taking O’Connor's letter in my hand

the letter addressed to Mr. O‘Connor and
made vehement and hurried explanation to the
effect that the letter must be in Mr. O'Con-

asked for Mr. O'Connor, presented my letter,

pleasantly over the incident, gave me a good
seat, and I heard the famous debate to great
advantage. I was one of the few Americans
who gained admission that day to the house
