Cincinnati Enquirer.
In olden times bedsteads, doors and other
furniture were made of solid rosewood, ma
hogany or whatever the variety might be,
while now the more common kinds of wood
are veneered with the more extensive and
beautiful woods. In this way the same
outward appearance is gained at a much less
cost, and furniture is apparently made out of
woo1h which are not obtainable in sizes suf
ficiently large to make solid pieces of furni
ture. At first the venoers were sawed, but thin
method, as the wooils increased in value,
caused so much waste that machinery was
invented for the sjiocial puriose of mak
bur veneers with the least possible loes. A
veneer-raill in operation is a curious sight.
The machinery is ponderous and seemingly
unwieldy, but it works with the utmost pre
cision and nicety, not varying a fraction of an
inch even when carrying a load of 6,000
tiounds. To carry such weights the mac bin
try is necessarily massive, but moves with
the exactness of a printting press. The wood.
lxiforo beinz taken to the mills, is put in the
sweat-room or steam-box, where it Is sub
jetted to the action of steam until it becomee
soft and offers less resistance to the knife.
The time taken in this process varies, accord
ing to the solidity and firmness of the wood,
from six to twenty-four hours. After hav
ing been thorougldy permeated with steam it is
finnlv fastened to a part of the machinery ,
which revolves altout a razor-like knife that
is utterly immovable. Unless the wood has
Ikmmi steamed it is impossible to shave it into
us thin sheets as desired, lor 11 it were nam
and dry tho sheets would be brittle and unfit
lor use.
The knife can be set so that sheets of any
thickness may be shaved olf. With one of
these machines wood can be cut into sheets as
thin as tissue-paper,but when so thin they are
not of much value, as the gluo with which
they are fastened to other goods shows
through, and if used they must be backed
with paper. As many as 150 sheets have been
cut from an inch of wood, but for common
purposes the veneers run about fifty to the
inch. Another advantage in this invention,
other than the economy of material, is the in
crease in the ei?e pf the sheets when shaved
over those that are sawed. The steamed
sheet is about four times the size of the others,
because it is taken from the entire circum
ference, while, if a saw is used, nothing can
be obtained but a transverse section.
Wood known as French walnut is the most
valuable for veneers. It has, however, no
chum to the name walnut, and is only termed
French because laree Quantities or it are ex
ported from Marseilles to this country. This
wood grows in Persia, Circassia and Asia
Minor, and is becoming very rare. It is only
seen in the most costly furniture, and great
care is taken to prevent its waste. The grain
of this wood is very peculiar, and presents
twists and figures 01 the most fantastic ana
beautifuldesigns, looking in many cases like
mosaics. There is no other wood whien pre
sents to the eye such pleasing contrasts ana
shades of color.
Next to French walnut, rosewood or ma
hogany is probably the most valuable. arge
Quantities of these woods are cut into veneers,
and fine pieces often bring as high prices as
French walnut. Ebony is a very valuable
wood, but owinz to its extreme hard
ness is seldom sent to the veneer-mill.
Economy has become necessary, also, in
the use of our native woods, and burls of
white and black walnut, asn, maple ana
cheery are in much demand. The use of
black walnut as a veneer is in its infancy, but
the wood has become so scarce that it Is now
stretched as far as possible. Poplar, ash and
oak are commonly veneered with walnut and
other more expensive woods in the manufact
ure oi all Kinds 01 rurmnire. xtosewooa
veneer is used largely on billiard-tables and
piano-boxes. Much veneering is now used in
the interior decorations of fine houses, and in
giving a hard finish to railroad cars. Chair
seats, car seats, brush backSj telephone boxes,
ciear-boxes. 6e wine-machines, cases and
many other things which come under the eye
are only imitations of what they appear to
be. Business cards have been printed on
veneer, and it has also been used as wall paper.
From the finer French walnut burls veneers
have been cut which none but an expert
could distinguish from hand-minting. Table
covers are usually made of thees. They range
in price from $25 to many hundreds.and can
be made as expensive as me purcnaser wiauea.
SHIFTS TO LIVE.
rood for Two Weeks for the Impecu
nious for a Dollar. v" '
Chicago Inter Ocean.
The next young man to consider is he who
is out of employment, and whose slender
store of currency will by no means bear
heavy draughts. Even for him there is fat
ness. He hies him to the little restaurant on
wheels, where "a piece of pie is given with
every 15-cent meal." He meets with rebuffs
and discouragements and his appetite is not
strong. He can get a good meal for 10 cents.
and perhaps two a day satisfy his hunger. Or
he can go to the beer saloon where a "busi
ness lunch" is given for 10 cents, in the high
est style of German cookery. Strange as it
may seem to many, a young man, having his
lodging secured, can live pretty well for two
weeks upon a dollar.
When even this fails and the "Little Sher
man" is too expensive, the friendless young
man begins upon a career of free lunches. It
is a fact that a thousand young men, and old
ones, too, for that matter, live exclusively
upon free lunches in this city. There are a
number of well-known beer saloons that set
out at various hours of the day lunches that
ought to satisfy any hungry man. With a
nickel to buy a glass of beer, the unfortunate
man can in several "grabs" mate quite a
hearty meaL A waiter stands at the board
behind a huge cold roast of beef, and ' as the
visitor approaches with his piece of bread
ready spread with mustard, he carves off a
slice of meat and lays it upon the bread. It
is then tnat tne nne work 01 tne iree-iuncn
fiend commences. He deftly claps a second
slice of bread uppn the beef, making a sand
wich. Then he spreads more mustard on the
top piece of bread and puts on a piece of
cheese. Another piece of bread goes on that,
and the top is neatly rounded with half a red
herring.
The iree-luncb artist then, holding in ms lett
hand what is known in saloon parlance as a
three-story" sandwich, eats a couple of raw
onions, and takes nail a dozen tones ruu 01
baked beans. If there is anything else on the
table that he thinks we would like he takes a
pick at it. such as "liver wurst," friend liver,
or pickled tripe. All tho time he has held his
precious sandwich in his left band, and now
turning to the bar he finds his glass of beer
awaiting him, and between gulps he puts
away that fecimon of architecture. If this
man is really and truly, and sure enough huii
errv. he turns a sain to the board until he re
ceives a warning look from the carver or bar-
keener, when he goes away.ana u ne nas an
other nickal h proceeds to the next saloon,
where he can complete his repast. Many
beer saloons, from JJ to 8 o'clock in the after
noon, give away hot sausage known to Ger
mans as v emer wurst," ana to Americans
as boiled aog." w itn tnese is given a coupie
of small pieces of bread and unlimited mus
tard. The man who is acquainted with the
saloons on the south side, and has a sufficiency
of nickels, can find a free lunch Tor every
hour in the day and nizht, and retire to bed
comfortably drunk and bilious as a professor
of literature.

When the government undertook to bring
the star routers to justice, it should have re
membered the following story, which is very
appropriate: "My case is just here," said a
itizen to a lawyer, a few days ago: "The
plaintiff will gwear that I hit him, I will swear
that I did not. Now what can you lawyers
make out of that if we go to trial" "Fivt

THE "SLEUTHHOUND."
The Detective's Diagnosis of the Bob.
bery.
About two years ago Mr. Aearlah Boody,
of New York, N. J., an enormously rich, re
tired plumber, on returning from Ilome,
where he had Ix-en to Behx-t a really good cash
article of title for himself, was astonished to
And the front door of his splendid residence
standing open, although he had closed it se

further, he at once perceived by Uie empty
wine-bottli-a and costly viamls scattered over
the uiuiniilii-ent satin furniture tliat the house
huiI been biu'gluiized in his absence. (It
teems strange that burglars should always
jcatter costly viands about when thoy rob a
place, but according to tho papers they will
do it.) A ponderous hair trunk, in which he
kept his valuables, had been opened, and a set
of shirt-studs and a million-dollar package of
1 per cents, removed. It was iniosKible to
tell exactly when the robbery occurred, but
the excited millionaire at once started for the
ofllce of the "prefect of police," as they say
In all the French plays.
On the steps of the ofllce he encountered
keen-looking man, with the eagle nose and
hawk-eye peculiar to detectives, who inquired
if he wished to see the chief.
"Immediately," said the millionaire.
"lie is in isew Y or k," replied the man on
the stei, ''but if it is anything of importance
I will attend to it in his place."
"I have been robbed," said the victim.
"I knew it," said the police attache, with
the true promptness of the profession. "Let
us at once to the spot."
The plumber led the way to the house.
"I trust nothing has been moved since the
crime was discovered," said tho detective as
tney entered tne bouse.
"Absolutely nothing," said the old gentle
man, wno naa roaa u-aooriau'a "M. .Uecocq

"Because," said the detective, "much de
pends on a careful study of the surroundings,"
and he began his investigations by measuring
a square inch of the dust-covered lid of the
trunk. He then produced a smnll pair of
scales, and scraping off the inch of dust re

"Let me see," he muttered, makincr acalcu
lation, 'dust settles at the rate of 48-l,0)0th
of an inch per hour. It is therefore certain
that the burglary was committed last Thurs-
aay at a quarter-past 1 a. m."
"Dear me," said the old gel
gentleman, "how
wonderful"
The detective now approached the remains
of the robbers' repast: "There were three
roDDers," ne said.
"Yes, but here are four glasses used," ex
claimed the old crentleman.
"The fourth was merely used to pour the
corky top of the bottles into," explained the

"By this overturned chair. Besides, the

"Even when burglingf said the old party.
"At all times," replied Kickshaw. "It

"Had, eh?"

And to this day the defrauded plumber is
sitting on his front steps waiting for news
from the detective (who was nothing more
than the robber himself).
A Couple of Cat Stories.
A correspondent writes to The Boston
Transcript:
"A few summers ago my cat kept her fam.
ily of four kittens concealed in the hay in an
almost inaccessible corner of the barn.
Whenever we brought them out she would
wilfully hide them again, one by one, and we
used to amuse ourselves mewing as nearly as
we could like a member of the family, when
she would come anxiously running out to us
to gather up the missing fifth which she had
never had."
Another correspondent writes to the same
paper: "Several years since we were the
wssessors or a valued cat with a family of
bur kittens in the hav-loft. The stableman.
thinking it too much of a good thing,
drowned two of the kittens. Again, in the
course of time, another family of four kittens
gladdened the heart of the same mother, two
of which she left in the family home in the
hay loft, and the remaining two she carnal
across the yard to the woodhouse, there hid
ing them away. She thenceforth devoted her
tune between the two places, m the care of
her divided family. .
"Query Did Mother Cat elect which of the
four she would keep in any event, or did she,
naving oniy the experience of the past to
guide her,' reason that if only two 'were
found she would be left in undisturbed
possession?"

WITHOUT A SUMMER.
The Htory et the Phenomenal
Weather That: Tel lowed a C'ol4
Hprlnc In 110.
New York Run.
During a cold spring like the iat on a ko
pie generally console themselves with tin) re
flection that the sun will eventually get the
victor)', and that summer will certainly
come at last, though its coming may be de
layed. Uncertain as the weather U, the
general features of the seanon recur with a
regularity which warrants the confidence
thus revised in the annual return of sed
time and harvest; but there are instances on
record in which even the seasons seem to
have lost their characteristic features, as if
the ordinary laws fTf meteorology had been
temporarily suspended. A remarkable case
of this kind, and one which the long-continued
cold weather of this spring makes
particularly interesting just now is that of
the year ISItt, which luas boon called "the
year without a sununer. A communication
printed in The Congregationalist gives the
following summary of the weather of this re
markable year:
January and February were mild, March
was cold, April began warm and ended in
snow and ice. Ice formed an inch thick in
May, and fields were planted over and over
again till it was too late to replant. June
was the coolest ever known in this latitude;
frost and ice were common. Almost every
green thing was killed; fruit nearly all de
stroyed. Snow fell to the depth of ten inches
ji V ermont, seven in Maine, three in the in
terior of New York, and also in Massachu
setts. There were few warm days. It was
called a dry sison. But little rain fell. Th
wind Mew steadily from the north, cyld and
fierce. Mothers knit extra socks and mittens
for their children in tho spring, and wtxxl
piles that usually disapjeared during the
warm spell in front of the houses were stead
ily built up again. Planting and shivering
were done together, and the farmers who
worked out their taxes on the country roads
wore overcoats and mittens. The lth of
June a heavy snow-storm fell in New Eng
land. The cold was intense.
A farmer who had a large field of corn in
Tewksbury built fires around it to ward off
the frost. Many an evening ho and his neigh
bors took turns in watching it, He was
rewarded with the only crop of corn in the
neighborhood. Considerable damage was
done in New Orleans in consequence of the
rapid rise of the Mississippi river. Fears
were entertained that the sun was cooling off,
and throughout New England all picnics were
strictly prohibited.
July was accompanied with frost and ice.
Indian com was nearly all destroyed ; some
favorably situated fields escaped. August
was more cheerless, if possible, than the
summer months which preceded it. Ice was
formed half an inch in thickness. Indian
corn was so frozen that the greater part was
cut down and dried for fodder. Ajmotft ev
ery green thing was destroyed in this country
and in Europe. The Soth snow fell at
Barnot, forty miles from London. Very little
corn ripened in New England and the middle
states. Farmers supplied themselves from
corn produced in 181a for-ayi in the spring
of 1817. It sold at from W to't-Vpe?
bushel.
September furnished about two weeks of
the pieasantest weather oi the season, but in
the latter oart of the month ice formed an
inch thick. October had more than its share
of cold weather. November was cold and
snowy. December was comfortable, and the
winter following was mild. Very little vege
tation was matured in the eastern and mid
dle states. The aim's rays seemed to be desti
tute oi beat durig the summer; all nature
was clad in a-etrole hue, and man exhibited
no little anxiety concerning the future of his
life.
The average price of flour during the year
in the piew x ork market was $13 per barrel.
The average price of wheat in England was
07 shillings psr quarter. Bread riots occurred
throughout Great Britain in 1817 in conse
quence oi the high price of the stair oi life.
Pistols in Court.
Philadelphia Times.
When Congressman Joe Blackburn, of
Kentucky, was young at the bar, it fell to
him to prosecute a case that had enlisted pub
lic sympathy. The evidence went in, and
Blackburn got as far as the argument when he
was warned to quit under penalty of. trouble.
Tho next day he appeared in court and be
gan the argument. He had not proceeded
far when there was a suspicious noise from
the rear. He wheeled to find confronting
him-a synmathizer with the accused, in anger
and aboTl' to strike. Whether Blackburn
fired through his pocket or not, mythology
doesn't say, but an instant later the would-
be pugilist was ready for an inquest, and
Blackburn turned coolly to the jury with,
"And now, gentlemen, as I was saying."
This yarn is pretty evenly balanced, how
ever, with another that tradition connects
with (Jolonel iienny oi tne counsel lor tne
prosecution. When attorney for his county
some years ago it became his duty to pros
ecute his uncle, tjertain members or the
family objected and threatened him with
violence, even in court. The situation becom-
inz critical when the argumentative stage of
the proceedings was reached, Denny care
fully laid a pair of revolvers on the table in
front of him, and saying mildly, "I shall now
argue this case," proceeded without inter
ruption through a snorting argument. "
A. 'jnew Xdea in Clubs.
The Continent.
The "Twilight club" of New York is a new
exponent of the tendency of the over-worked
business men of our cities to seek recreation
by some form of co-operative association. In
tho ordinary acceptance of the term it can
hardly be called a club. It has nothing in
the nature of a lounging-house, a restaurant,
reading-room, billiard-room, smoking-room
or drinking-room, that are inseparable from
the imported club idea as it has taken root
and developed with us. How it may succeed
is yet a problem. The movement is certainly
radical in its character, the club being dedi
cated to "the new erospel of relaxation," and
laying down its platform in the following
ouamt tormuiary:
Objects. To cultivate intellectual good
f rl'owship, and to enjoy rational recreation.

31 Ins Astor as a Ballet Uasetr.
New York Letter.
Mi Carrie Astor, daughter of William B.
Astor, heiress expectant to millions upon
millions, pet in our most exquisite socicty,has
become a ballet dancer. Her debut was in
the presence of a jammed crowd of eager
spectators. Tho dance was a Dutch reel,
elaborated by new and picturesque move
ments. Miss Astor wore a correct Dutch
peasant costume, consisting of a red merino
skirt and white muslin waist; her hair was
braided lehind and banded with an ornamen
tal gold device, while her cap, modeled after
those worn by the girls of the province of
Friesland, was prettily coquettish. She had
heavy gold bracelets, a gold-linked chain
necklace, a diamond brooch and diamond ear
rings, irihe danced gracefully to the music of
zithers, and was applauded with immense en
thusiasm. No performance by the expert
Cavaliazzi, the ballet premiere of the grand
opera at the az-ademy of music, ever gained
half the approbation. Of course Miss Astor
didn't do this on the stage, though it was part
of a show at which $1 admission fee was
charged. This happened at the Kirmess, or
Dutch festival, given for a charitable object.
