THE FnisT Use OF MAHOGANY IN ENG.
LAND Mahogany, though for centuSies
used by the Spaniards In shipbuilding,
was first tried In England in King street,
in the last century. DR.. Gibbons, an emf
nent physician, was building house; his
brother, o West India captain, who had
brought some mahogany as ballast, sent
him some of the wood as a curiosity; but
the carpenters, finding it hard to work,
threw Il aside. Soon after this, Mrs. Glib
bons, wanting candle box, sent Wollas-
ton, cabinet maker in Longacre, some
mahogany 10 make it from, and would al.
low Of no excuse. The box was made
and liked. The doctor then tried a bu-
reau, which his friends, especially the
Duchess Of Buckingham, thought beauti-
full for color and polish. Tho Duchess
begged some mahogany, and had bureau
also, and the fame Of 1t soon made the for
tune Of the new wood. Mr.. limbs says
that the present floors Of few Of the bet
ter class Of old houses in King street are
solid mahogany.-AA the Year Round.

He is that way. Only by faith in the Divinity
