In 1858 the same party planned

10 settle the question as to whether the
woman was still alive. They searched
about the island for some time, and
were about despairing OF success when

and directed them 10 approach her

prevent her escape should she be so
disposed The men succeeded in get
ting quite close TO her before they were
discovered. Instead OF showing signs
of alarm, as they had expected, the
woman appeared qnite pleased TO see
them and received them with smile
which indicated that she was not in
the least afraid. The hunters assisted
her TO remove such articles Of clothing
and food to the boat rs she was not dis
posed TO leave behind. In tho course
OF n few days she had become at home
in the boat and helped in whatever way
she could in the work aboard. After
a months hunting the party sailed for
Santa Barbara, where the woman was
regarded with wonder and curiosity.
The people treated her with the great
est kindness and consideration. She
was taken 10 the families OF her res
cuers, where she remained until her
death, which occurred in a few years
from overeating fruit, OF which she was
very fond.

MAHOGANY.
A Wood Once Very PopouIar, but
Now Gone Out of Fashion.

"a few years ago." said a Now Yori1
furniture dealer, nobody cared much
TO buy bodsteads, sideboards, tables,
bookcases, or sofas made OF any other
wood than mahogany. Indeed, large
pieces OF furniture Of any of the lighter
woods were thought TO mako rather
vulgar display The piano was the
only exception TO this rule. At all
times rosewood was the most popular
frame for one OF these instruments; but
this was not due TO any notion that
rosewood was handsomer, bat simply
10 the fact that the great heaviness and
density of mahogany stined the music.
Now black walnut, cherry, ash, oak
and every sort of light wood that will
take high polish are seen in fashion
able houses, but OF the heavy, old
wine-colored mahogany rarely stick.
think il was the musical necessity OF
using "A lighter wood in the manufac-
ture of pianos that caused the revolu-
ton in general furniture making.
When people changing their residences
saw the difficulty with which pianos
were carried to the vans, they began
10 wonder how much power it would
cost to lift them if they were made of
mahogany, and this led TO the reflection
that fully two thirds of the entire house
hold furniture might be knocked off if
it were manufactured in lighter WOODS.
Then began the decadence Of ma
hogany --decadence of its utility as a
furniture wood, | mean, for in its inte-
gral parts il is almost everlasting. II
is undoubtedly the richest, handsomest,
and most stately of all woods; but its
popularity has been crushed beneath
its own weight A few conservative
people in New York, and many in Eng
land, still furnish their house with IT.;
but such persons are not afflicted with
the migratory fever that leads the aver
age American family to seek new
home about once in two years. Ma
hogany furniture, once placed in posi-
ton, seems to be nearly as immovable
as when the dark wood was in its native
forests, and the restless. nomadic
householder OF to-day docs not care to
be anchored to his dwelling"

Wilkie Collins at Work.

Mr. Collins, says the Book Buyer, has
described the manner in which he
works out his plot and clothes this
framework with flesh and blood. He
used The Woman in White TO illus
trate his method OF writing novels.
His first effort was TO get his central
idea-"the pivot on which the story
turns. This occurred TO him in the
shape OF a conspiracy in private life by
which a woman is robbed Of her iden-
tity by being COMPOUNDED with another
woman whom she closely resembles.
He next searched for and finally found
the three principal characters in the
drama, the conspirator and the two
women. Then began the process of
building up the story. three things be-
ing borne in mind, Ito begin at the be-
ginning, TO keep the story always adj
yancing, without paying the smallest
attention 10 the serial division in parts,
or 90 tine book publication in volumes,
and TO decide on the end"
The first step was to sketch the plot
in the mind to decide in very gen
eral way upon the development OF the
story. The beginning Of The Woman
in White" gave the author much
trouble. He decided upon an opening
scene, and spent over week in writ
ing it out only to throw it away. Nor
did any satisfactory idea suggest itself
TO him until one evening he happened
TO read in newspaper of a lunatic who
had escaped from am asylum. Instantly
the possibility Of using this incident
occurred TO him, and he fell 10 work
upon "A new beginning for the story.
After that all was comparatively
smooth work, the characters and the
details of the plot being elaborated as
the story advanced. After six months
Of hard labor the tale was completed.
