FACTS ABOUT MAHOGANY. ~| Whore It Grows, Its Value and How It Is prepared For Shipment. The United States is not a ma hogany growing country, unices Cu- j ba may now be said to be a part of the United States. It i3 a tropical < wood. Its liome is in Central Ainex- |H ica and in Cuba, Jamaica and Santo Domingo. Those islands give the) : smallest, but heaviest and pcottieet wood. British Honduras, Guatemala' '. and Nicaragua give the most said : Mexico the largest timber. The T, richer, solid, heavy mariettas como from the islands. 1* heso will pot . float. They are susceptible of a high polish, and the wood has a rich, wavy figure. The pretty fig ured pieces of wood are of great value. A six foot piece, which in cluded tho crotch of a tree, in a cer tain shipment brought ' about $500 when cut into veneers. No matter where a shipment of the wood conies from or what varie ty it is, there are always rooro or lean of the ?ne, flaky sticks that make veneer. Mahogany is a phc ; nomenal wood, in that it does not warp under any conditions of weath | er, use or age. - Neither does it shrink. ,It is of great beauty, h?rd ness and durability. In no other wood can these qualities be found combined with large size* uniformi ty of grain and richness of color and ligure. The island timbers are eight to ten. feet :.u length by twelve inches in diaraefir, some from Cuba, how ever, reaching thirty-five feet in j length by two feet in diameter. Hon ; duras squared timbers are as long as forty feet by two feet in diameter, and tho three foot and four foot timbers come from Mexico. The [ softer mahogany come3 from the swampy lands. There .ore no ma ! hogany forests. The trees are not grouped that way,' the individual trees being more or less widely sep arated, like other trees, the core is the. poorest part, often being Worthless.?Mississippi Valley Lum berman .> _ Half Hio Shirt.

A few days later the rev I erend gentleman, received a parcel containing half a dozen new shirts, accompanied by a card-bearing the rame of one of Iiis fair parishioners. . At the earliest opportunity he called' i upon the lady and thanked her for . her gift and then proceeded to o3k.-f what had prompted the kind action.

A HOLS IN THE GROUND. Sari We Build It or Must Wo Say That We Dig It? "Can we 'build' a hole in the ground ?" asked a man who takes an interest in the words we use and the changes which have taken place in our language. ."I think not. , Yet we. speak of 'building' a canal, and moat rperaous understand thoroughly what we mean. The word 'build' has undergone many chang?e, and it now means many things. I said just now we could not 'build' a holo in the ground. I was thinking of the purer meaning of the word build when I said that. Of course wo can .'build* a hole in tile ground. Often when we dig we 'lmild.' Wo 'build' graves. I suppose it would not be wholly wrong, in view of the latter meaning of tho word 'build/ to speak of 'building* a well or a ditch or any other thing which re quires digging and labor of a con structive sort. 'Build* apparently comes from tho Anglo-Saxon 'bold/ meaning a house; a word of Scandi navian origin and formed by adding 'd* to the Icelandic word 'bol/ which means a house or a farm. Skeat d<?? clares tho word is really Scandina vian-. The middle English?that is, tho English from tho thirteenth to tho fifteenth centuries inclusive, for the word 'build* was 'bulden/ and late Anglo-Saxon gave it as *byldan.' 'To build' was a more literal mean ing o* *bulden* and *byldan.' Tho word *bol* is found in the old Swed ish, meaning a house, a dwelling, while in Danish 'bol' means a small farm. The word *bo* appears in old Swedish, meaning to live, abide, dwell. At any rate, the word *build* has broken from its old moorings, and_ f?nce we understand what is meant by the expression 'build a ca nal/ which is in its physical aspect merely digging a ditch or a hole in the ground, there can be no serious objection to tho use of the word *build* in this connection. Words must change as men and conditions change, and after all these changes in the meaning of words form one of the surest signs of the progress we make'.*' ? New Orleans Times Democrat1__ Wholesale and Retail. In arithmetic Captain Hank is not especially strong. In business, how ever, he has "cut his eyeteeth." He knows the difference between wholesale* and retail, although he sometimes gets the two styles of trading mixed. "Captain Hank/' said a summer hoarder In the early -days of the sea son, "how much will you change to rent me a rowboat ?" "How long do ye want it?** "Five days. Perhaps a week/* "Well, now, I'll tell you," said Hank deliberately. "I have two kinds of rates?hullsale and retail. One's for a week or more, and the other's for a week or less. If ye take it ? week or more, that'll cost you at the .rate of 50 cents a day, $3.50 a wreek. But for less tlian a week I don't feel as if I ought to charge quite so high. > It gives more folks a chance to rent boats when you ddn*t have them out so long. So for less than a w?ek I charge at the rate of $3 a week, and for five days ?well,;that won't cost you inore;n $1.75."?-Youth's Companion. Equal to the Occasion.

FOOD VALUE OF EGGS. A Good Substitute For Meat and Easy of Digestion. Almost everybody cabs eggs. There is perhaps no article of diet that is more commonly eaten in all coun tries than eggs, liens' eggs ace used raoro than any )ther kind, al though some people c$t duck eggs, goose eggs ana the eggs of the gui nea fowl. Turkey eggs arc not so often eaten, limy arc generally kept for hatching. Eggs are said to bo a perfect food, the same as milk ?that fe, containing all tho food elements necessary for the growth and maintenance of the young chick, just as milk docs for the young animal. While it is true, of course, that the egg docs contain all tho elements necessary for the young chick, yet it would not follow that these elements arc in tho right proportion for the ?ole nourishment of an adult person. That eggs arc a splendid food is not to be ques tioned, but that eggs alone would furnish sufficient diet for a grown pcrsou is hardly probable. Eggs consist of protein and fat, water and mineral matter. It is tho Erotein or nitrogenous matter that uilds up and repairs the tissues of the body, while the fat supplies en ergy. The white of an egg is often said to be pure albumen, but it also contains phosphoric acid and sodium chloride, or common salt. The yolk contains the fatty part of the egg, phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, potassium and iron. Eggs also con tain; sulphur, and this probably ac counts lor tho dnrk stain left by eggs on silver, the sulphur coming in contact with tho silver forming silver sulphide. Eggs are very easi ly digested. Kaw eggs are more quickly digested than cooked eggs. Soft boiled eggs, roasted eggs and poached eggs are more easily digest ed than fried or hard boiled eggs The stomach will digest a raw egg in from one and a half to two hours Soft boiled and roasted eggs require from two and a half to three hours, while hard boiled or fried eggs must bo allowed from three and a half to four hours for digestion. Eggs fur nish a good substitute for meat, and we believe it would be far better for the average person if eggs were more frequently used in place of meat. Especially do they make a light, nu tritious dish for breakfast instead of the usual bacon or ham or sau sage?Medical Talk. o The Last of Bill. The first football match for tho season in an English town being un der discussion, a member proposed that at that game tho players should wear black bands on their jerseys, out of respect- for a certain Bill B., a popular member of tho club who had died some time before. "I don't see as that's necec3ary," objected another of the footballers, "seein* as 'ow Bill has been dead thiB eight months. If we'd done it at the time there'd 'a* been somo sense in it." "I know all about that/' argued the proposer, "but it's like this ;ere: The ball we played with all lost year was blew up with Bill's own breath, and while we'd got that we none of. us looked on Bill as benr really gone-like, but the ball got busted at practice last night, and bang went poor owd Bill, so to speak. That's 'ow tho matter stands. Sc I says, 'ands up, them as votes for black bands and a new ball." Anything He Could Get. .
