The successful manipulation of the vari ous woods may truly be classed among: the antediluvian arts, for the Instruc tions given to Noah for making a water proof ark are such as would have been given only to a workman of experience. The same, to an even greater degree, may be said of the directions for build ing the tabernacle and tne temple. Ow ing to the perishable nature of wood, with the exception of a few specimens preserved In the dry Egyptian climate, no remains of the primal woodwork men tioned by Homer and the early Hebrew writers are now In existence. We Judge, howex'er. from ancient vase paintings, tomb and wall pictures, sculpture and embroidery, that the general plan of ueing animals, slaves and sphinxes for support wa6 .followed in woodwork as in the ancient metal tables, chairs and couches now preserved in museums. Homer men tions a most intereslng historic wooden chest, seen and Identified EOO years after ward by Pausanlas. This cedar chest, carved and gilt, and decorated with bas reliefs in gold and lvoir. was once the hiding place of Cypselus of Corinth. His relatives, having been warned by the ora cle of Delphi that the child would one day assume the reins of government, sought his life; but, owing 10 his con cealment In the famous chest, he lived to fulfill he Delphic prophecy and to reign over Corinth SO years 6G5 to 623 B. C Among barbarous nations wood carving as a subordinate form of sculpture bowed Itself in crude cuttings upon clubs and primitive weapons of warfare. Many of the most famous statues of antiquity were made of wood, sometimes carved with a rude, bold skill, sometimes over laid with gold or ivory or painted and decked out with highly colored robes. A curious article of furniture, indespen eable to the Boman library, was the Ecrlnium or scrool bookcase. As the vol umes of those days were rolls of parch ment tho bookcases were circular and box-shaped. These beechen-wood boxes could be locked or sealed and were easily portable when the owner wished to carry his library on his Journeys. Among the northern nations may be found excellent specimens of carved lln tols dating from the early viking times. This wooden sculpturing, although rough, is, nevertheless, characterized by a singu lar freedom of outline, together with a fondness for the distorted as a decorative motive and an elaboration and adapta tion of the grotesque to the structural and ornamental part of furnishings, as shown in the Norwegian doorway and the Scandinavian chair of the early Mid dle Ages. During medieval times the style of arch itecture known as Gothic a term first used in reprqach and signifying barbaric- grew Into favor and beautified the finest I Cnrred "Wood Chnlr. (Scandinavian work.) buildings of France, England and Germany. The pointed arch, verti cal panoling, crockcted spires and foliated decoration characteristic of this noblest style of architecture lso largoly influenced ths Interior furnishings, as shown in the magnificent choir stalls, pulpits and other equipments of cathedral and castle. It is quite prob able that the architect who planned the monasteries and cathedrals also designed their furniture upon the same general plan, carving In wood tho popular orna ment in stone, and consecrating the iinet results of his handiwork to the church. While & few impressive examples of true Gothic art may be found scattered throughout Italy. It was never entirely naturalized there. For this reason the re turn to classic models brought about by the Renaissance was especially acceptable to the Italian taste. Thenceforth wood carvings of battle scenes, triumphal marches, allegoric representations of the virtues, seasons and elements, and espe cially scenes from classical mythology, replaced the more austere modleval repre sentations of sacred subjects or the he roe of metrical romance. Fireplaces, which until the end of the 36th century haa been made of stone, wore thenceforth richly carved in oak. In England and neighboring countries the oak has been the standard of strength, tourrhness and durability, not withstanding the fact that It cros grain makes its management dimcult where nicety of detail is especially desirable. In Italy walnut, despite Its brittleness. has always been the favorite, and has been used mo;t effectively in elegantly carved "casone" fronts, panels, choir stalls -and furniture. Oftentimes it was picked out with gilt or color, and occa sionally decorated with wooden mossaic or ivory Inlay. The exuberance of Ital ian wood carving, which showed to such advantage upon the ornate and imposing chest fronts, was nevertheless distinctly out of place upon chairs and tables, giv ing them that overcrowaed effect which Is such a defect In our modern wood work. Italian grace was eventually grafted upon the vigor, dexterity and fantasy of the Flemings, and so closely allied with contemporary Enghsn carving that Flqfctlsh and English woodwork were frequently Indistinguishable. The Ger mans, too. showed themselves thorough ly 10 nave mastered the Renaissance wood carvlng. both, on a gigantic and a, minute scale. This Intermingling of German, j Florals! and Italian styles with the Angll- can Gothic, distinguishes the woodwork 1 of the English Renaissance from that of France and Italy. Interlacing strap work, j so prevalent In Elizabethan and Jacob- j ean ornament, was of Flemish origin, i Styles of design so frequently overlapped ' oaoh other during the Renaissance that It j is sometimes aimcuit to approximate the date of important pieces of carvinsr. Goth 1c designs were used as late as the 16th century, and their architectural character istics were especially noticeable In wood on paneling. At first paneling -as em ployed In She crude carpentry of the early Gothic chests, but came into almost general use for English rooms in the early part of tho 13th century. Pine was eopn supplanted by the more substan tial oak. which was decorated with elab orate tracer, a most popular design be ing a carved facsimile of a folded tex tile known ae the "linen scroll pattern. The roof and choir stalls of the chapel of Henry VII, In Westminster Abbey, are worM-famous for the their carvd enrich- taenu, showing the admixture of Gothic j WBSmkw II0' fvwBtJVCT) ' ' Jo 3PSg 1 j ff ft WOODWORK.

I Man5r flne examples of the carved i screens, fireplaces and wall panellnss o j this period are still preserved In England. j An excellent example of Elizabethan j woodwork is the oak screen or partl- tlon of Gray's Inn, the carved screen sup porting the minstrels' gallery being espe cially noteworthy. Those who make a study of the old wainscotlngs, richly carved without overcrowding', cannot but regret that so dignified and soothing a background should have been banished from modern furnishing. Without the Il lusory suggestiveness of tapestry. It had nevertheless a repose and harmonizing quality which none of our modern wall treatments even approximate. As a rule the old English paneling was espe cially designed for the House in which it was placed. In cases where the panels were elaborately carved It Is supposed that they were bought separately and placed in plain framework moldings by the local carpenter or by the "Joyner" at tached to everj" noble household. Often times the paneling did not cover the en tire wall space, large wall paintings or, a succession of pictures separated by bat tens breaking up the wooden monotony. In time separate pictures, like mIrrorsv ft !tt r Ji SIDEBOARD (Carved oak, with subjects taken from Sir "Walter Scott's "Kenllworth.") were placed In separate frames, Holbein's paintings for Henry VIII being the first pictures framed In England. The austere genius of Imgo Jones was especially influential in patterns for wood work fittings. A diligent study of the classic designs in Rome stimulated his enthusiasm and chastened his taste. In England there Is still preserved this origi nal footnote to some of his famous work ing plans: "In the name of God; Amen. The 2 of January, 16H, I being in Rome, compared these deslnes following, with the Ruines themselves. Inigo Jones." With Grlnling Gibbons, who was trained through the great architectural age o? Wren and Gibbs. woodcarving reached lti culmination for flollmpr rrUnnASB nnn skillful craftsmanship. Chippendale, Hep. pelwhite, Sheraton and Glllow brought finely selected mahogany Into prominence and did much good work in design, polish and inlay before the cataclysm of the 19th century. Since then good woodwork has been the exception. To be sure a few finely carved specimens have been produced In the mid dle of this century, but they have been conspicuous as the aoses in an inartistic desert. French Influence undoubtedly had something to do with the decline of artistic woodwork. The high state of perfection reached by French tapestries and up'nolstering materials led to careless ness in the construction and design of the framework. Then, too, the vogue at tained by Boulle's marquetry a shell ve neer on a clouded vermilion or gilt ground and Vernis Martin's successful imitation of Japanese gold lacquer monopolized for a time the furniture market. To the in vention of machinery, which reproduces a popular pattern for the million more than to any other cause may be attributed the decline of high-art carving. The result ant elimination of individual taste led to a monotonous fussiness in modern fur nishing, a restless alertness for cheap novelty, and an absence of pride in the possession of intrinsically beautiful pieces worthy to descend from generation to generation. The boxwood cradle shown In the illus tration is generally conceded to be the most important example of English wood carving, by connoisseurs considered to be quite equal to the work of the Rennais sance. It was made of Turkey boxwood for Queen Victoria in 1K0. the carved design symbolizing the union of the royal houses of England and Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. At one end were the arms and national motto of England, and at the other those of H. R. H. Prince Albert. IN CASES OF DROWNING. An Expert Describes Trvo "Wnys to Resuscitate Victims. New York Tribune. To restore the drowning no time should be lost in moving the patient or waiting for a doctor.

" c u,e memoes tnat nave been em- Pyu. but the following two, given by one wno hns rescued many persons from the surf. re said to be the best: In first place, the operator places himself on his knees behind the patient's head, seizes both of the patient's arms near the elbows, and sweeps them around horizontally and over the head, until they meet above it. when he gives them a strong pull, which he keeps up for one " two seconds. This effects an lnsplra- tion. He next returns the arms to the front surface of the chest, and makes a strong pressure against the lower ribs in order to force the air from the chest and produces a respiration. This occupies about a second of time. He repeats tbet.e, thus producing about 20 complete acts of respiration In a minute, and keeps it up until natural breathing has been restored or It is certain that life Is extinct. By the second method the operator lays j the patient on his back and places a roll of clothing under the loins, so as to make , the short ribs bulge prominently forward 1 and raise them a little higher than the i level of the mouth. The arms are then ! stretched forcibly back over the head. ; crossed, and held in this position by an 1 assistant, who also holds the tip of the tongue over one corner of the mouth, grasping it with a dry handkerchief. The operator then kneels astride the patient's hips, and, with his hands resting on the stomach of the patient, spreads out his fingers, so as to grasp the waist about the short ribs. He next throws all his weight steadily forward upon his hands, while at the same time he squeezes the ribs deeply, "as if he wished to force everything In the chest upward out of the mouth." This pressure is continued while one, two, three, are slowly counted, when it Is suddenly removed with a final push, which springs the operator back to his first kneeling position. After an Interval, during which one, two, throe, are again slowly counted, the pressure is repeated, and the process Is continued as long as necessary. While either of these processes Is going on, another person, without in any way Interrupting them, should cover the body with the best available thing at hand and remove the wet clothing as quickly as possible, loosening the garments under the body and drawing them down over the feet. The body should then be gently slipped on to something dry and covered with a dry fabric, if the first has be come damp. Warmth is to be secured by any means that ingenuity may suggest. Hot bottles, plates, bricks or stones, or even boards that have lain In the Bum mer sun, may be utilized. At the seashore there is plenty of hot sand, and often plenty of baking-hot bathing costumes. The body and limbs should be gently but constantly rubbed toward the heart, to help the blood In Its labored circulation. A stimulant should be given as soon as It can be swallowed a half-teaspoonful of whisky or brandy in two teaspoonfuls of hot water may be given every 10 min utes until an ounce has been taken. As natural breathing begins to be at tempted, It should be aided as much as possible by timing the artificial respira tions to it. It may be stimulated by care fully applying smelling salts or ammonia to the nose, by slapping the kln lightly, but smartly, or by dashing hot water upon the chest. Where- it Is available so as to cause a reflex sobbing or deep breathing by the pain it causes. Little by little natural breathing will take the place of the artificial, but It must not be left unwatched for some time. Nothing but danger from cold or press ing necessity should prompt the removal of the patient from the place where he is being treated. Not until respiration is perfectly established should he be dis- Cradlc, In Boxtvood, for Her Majesty the Q.ncen. (Designed and carved by H. Rogers, London.) turbed. If removal cannot be avoided, it must be effected with great care. After resuscitation, the patient should be placed in a warm bed, being carefully carried to it with tho head low, strict watch being kept meanwhile on the breathing lest the heart suddenly stop. Even though the natural breathing has not ceased, all the steps Just described should be carried out with the exception of artificial respiration. But this should be resorted to upon the first Intimation that natural respiration is falling. The cessation of the pulse at the wrists must never be taken as an Indication of. death, as life may be present where even an acute ear cannot detect the sound oi the heart. Deep pressure with the finger ends Just below the lower end of the breastbone may sometimes reveal pulsa tion of the aorta, or main artery of the heart and body, when it cannot be found anywhere else.

Year for Carryins the Bulk of Ottr Commerce. COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo Aug. 22. Alexander R. Smith, special agent on shipbuilding for the 12th census, ad dressed the Farmers' National Congress last night on "Will American Ships Help Our Farmers?" He said in part: "About 20,000,000 long tons of American agricultural products, valued at between $700,000,000 and $800,000,000, are annually ex ported from the United States. Ameri can farmers have, therefore, a direct personal interest In the vessels that carry these exports to their foreign destina tion. Today the cost of carrying wheat from the Pacific Coast to Europe is over ?10 a ton. A fair profit is possible at not to exceed ?6. Rates on grain from Gulf ports to Europe are 15 a ton, which is about double the normal rate. The same is true on ocean rates of transportation from nearly ever port In the United States. Foreign ships practically monop olize our foreign carrying. A year ago, when 650,000 tons of British shipping were withdrawn from the channels of trade to carry troops and munitions of war to t South Africa, a British news paper s'taled that this withdrawal had caused a rise in ocean freight rates of 30 per cent. Over 1,000,000 tons of British shipping are now engaged In the trans portation of troops, horses, mules, provis ions and other military necessities. On a 30 per cent advance in ocean rates the American people have paid ?60,000,000 above the usual freight charges during the past year, of which our farmers have paid one-half, or $30,000,000, above the normal freight charge. If the rates pre vailing today obtain throughout the ensu ing year, the cost of our ocean trans portation will Increase fully 50 per cent, or will closely approximate to $300,000,000, all but 6 or 7 per cent of which will go to foreign shipowners. It must be very clear that any prolonged continu ance of prevailing ocean rates will close many ..foreign markets to American pro ducers, the high cost of transportation leaving them no profit. The further with drawal of foreign tonnage for other than commercial purposes threatens still fur ther to restrict the profitable exportation of our surplus products. An Immense market for American coal could be found abroad today did we but have the ship ping with 'which to carry It. We can readily see what It would mean to the people of the United States in bursting warehouses, overburdened wharves, cur tailed production, diminished employment and widespread misery. If at any time the needs of foreign nations should compel them to withdraw from our trade the foreign ships which we now depend for the exportation of 93 per cent of our sur plus products. "In normal times $200,000,000 'are annually paid to foreign ships for carrying 93 per cent of our foreign commerce, or as much as the value of one-half our wheat crop, or as much as the value of two thirds' of our cotton crop, or as much as tho value of ono-third of our corn crop, and as much as is collected at all of our Custom-Houses, each year. American ships that can keep this $200,000,000 at home each year, instead of sending it out of the country, must be a benefit to our farmers. That sum would give steady employment to more than 250,000 men at $2 50 a day; It would support 1,000,000 peo ple. No farmer In the United States will contend that there will not be great Indi rect benefit to him through the employ ment in this country, In practically a new industry, of 250,000 men supporting 1,000,000 people. Think of the farm products re quired to feed and clothe those people, and think of the farm products required to feed and clothe the merchants, tho builders, the mechanics, the professional men and others who would minister to the wants of that 1,000,000 people. That $200,000,000 would turn over and over, con stantly employing our people, if kept at home. The 230,000 men employed In ship building and its allied industries would only be the beginning of the employment that $200,000,000 would give our people, If American instead of foreign shipowners did our foreign carrying. No man could trace the end of the employment and re employment that would follow the reten tion at home of one-fifth of a billion dollars now paid out to foreigners by the American people each year."

In London dear coal means misery; In WIgan it spells prosperity. Here in the very heart of the Lancashire mining world things are flourishing as they have not done for 27 years before, says a cor respondent of a London newspaper. The grimy miners, whose clogs loudly clatter down the granite-paved streets as they go to and from their' pits, are busy' con ferring about the espected rise in wages. The shopkeepers are talking of extending their premises and taking on new assist ants. Even the mine managers, who consider It part of their business to look overbur dened with care, are seen to smile as they send out notices of their 20 per cent divi dends. Every one of the hundreds of giant chimneys that unceasingly belch forth great clouds of black smoke to darken the heavens tells of the gold that is pouring into their laps. Two years ago the colliery owner was counted the most to be pitied of all capi talists. Now he Is the most fortunate. By a single streak of good luck he has recouped himself for 20 bad years. Men who bought mines at tho prices of two years ago have already In more than one case entirely recovered the capital cost. Today the mine owner Is king. He has the workmen at his mercy owing to a treaty with the Miners' Federation signed before the present boom was anticipated. He has the whiphand over the consumer, and even the coal merchant has to yield to him or do without coal. Tacoma Wheat. TACOMA, Aug. 22. Wheat, dull, un changed.
