WHY-
Does Wood Rot?
The first analogy which comes to
mind when we think of rotting wood
n a piece of iron a railroad rati, for
xample which has been allowed to
remain out in the rain until it has
been partly eaten away by rust. But
here the action of the rust is due to
a chemical change in the iron or
steel, following the application of
water, while the rotting of wood is
caused by an entirely different rea
son, tiny microbes or bacteria which
lodge in the pores of the wood and
gradually eat it away until it tails
apart. The fungus growths thrive
best in moist climates and it is for
this reason that wood which had been
exposed to the elements, without the
protection of a coat of paint, turns
brown and rots away in a compara
tively short space of time.
Paint, however, is not the only pre
ventive of rot. Another is the soak
ing of the wood in crcasote or other
combinations of pitch which effectu
ally seals the pores and prevents the
entrance of the bacteria which cause
the decay. This is the method fol
lowed in the preparation of railroad
ties and other wood which must be
continually exposed to the rain,
though, In the case of the piles which
support the city of Venice, a very
tough variety of wood is used and,
owing to the fact that it is sub
merged in salt water, has not rotted
despits its centuries of use.

Common Sense
By J. J. MUNDY.
Good Breeding.
If you want to know whether a
person is shamming or pretending to
refinement and real culture, listen to
the voice in anger or annoyance.
The man or the woman who was
born to command never says sarcas
tic things in a raucous voice.
All may aspire to command, a few
reach the place who were not to the
manner born; but the true and "bred
in the bone" head of affairs is
smoother when ruffled than the imi
tation when putting on the front
supposed to be necessary to show
authority.
So cultivate poise and understand
ing. There is nothing so hard to stand
as the criticism of a person who
lacks good breeding.
You get what you expect of per
sons more often than you think.
If you know exactly what is the
right thing and expect only the right
thing and do your part, more than
likely you will get the best that is in
the men or the women you have
under you.
But remember the first "nasty,"
mean remark that you make, when
you are disappointed, may mean the
difference between success and
failure.
Absolute control is characteristic
of the men in high places who keep
them permanently and keep going
on and up the ladder.

How can children be taught not to
be wasteful?
A regular allowance is very help
ful in solving this problem. By
learning not to waste his pennies, a
child learns not to be wasteful of
other things. There is a little poem
that also is useful m this connection:
Wilful waste makes woeful want,
And I may live to say,
WnnlH I had the crust of bread
That once I threw a vay.' "

More Truth Than Poetry
By JAMES J. MONTAGUE
REQUALIFYING.
Where is handsome Dan, whose hair
Was always neatly oiled,
Who hummed a cheerful little air,
As joyously he toiled!
Who glanced at you, when you came in
And called you by your name.
And said, with an engaging grin:
"A little of the same?"
He's studying anatomy, and keeping tabs on germs
He's lamping in his lexicon for scientific terms
For he can shake 'em up no more, except on one condition,
And so he's learning how to be a registered physician.
What's become of Rough Neck Pete
Who left a life of crime
To draw 'em down on River street
Just after quitting time? -Who
always made the collars short
Which packed the dingy bar
And made Old Rafferty's resort
Extremely popular?
He's conning therapeutics, in a book six inches thick
He's learning why a fractured skull will make a person sick,
For he can't draw 'em any more at Rafferty's you see.
Until he holds the sheepskin of a registered M. D.

NECESSARY MEASURE.
The republican party is going to reduce its delegate respresentation
in the southern states. Convention time comes in the watermelon season
and it's hard to get many of 'em to attend.
