sHoRTHANDeD HIS COMPLAINTS.
Experience of Disgusted Individual
who Married His typewriter.


He WAS in the midst of a dissertation on
the woes of man and the Indifference and
thourbtlessness Of woman when he noticed
that his wife was using pencil indus
triously.
MARY !" he exclaimed, what are you
doing?"
Shortbanding your remarks, John" she
said quietly. Then, as he glared at her,
she continued:
sistent, John, and say you never tnd fault
eXcept under the greatest provocatlon. L
should like TO read you a few extracts from
INV notebook. Phis is verbatim report OF
a briet conversation that took place night
before last:
MARY, where in thunder are my slip
pers2'
"'Where left 'em, ehI Well, you're a
fine wife Too busy running around mill
nery-shops TO put 'em by my easy chair'
where can reach 'em, suppose. Where
did / leave 'em? Come. trot 'eIn out, ana
be auick about it. The idea of making me
90 chasing ell over this measly house after
slippers when I'm all tired out. Don't you
care anything for me at auE
And this, John, l took down last
night: L.,
Matter Matter, Mrs. Bllnkins! Some
inspired idiot has put my slippers right IN
the middle of the floor for me to stumble
over. Started TO look for 'em and pretty
nearly fell on the top of my head. Some
people haven't got sense enough to last
canary-bird overnight
q" Why, John, you said
$50, Of course. said to put 'em right
where [ could step on 'em and roll over
and break my neck. That's just like me.
but if you'll Just leave 'em in the same
place every night I'll get 'em without GRIP
bling myself for life
Tonight, John, you started in like
this: -
MARY, suppose you've put those slip
pers of mine in the cellar OF under the
kitchen range, or somewhere. You can
find more blamed fool hiding-places for
iem than any one know. Here I've been
hunting for 'em for fifteen minutes. You
couldn't find 'em with q search warrant
If you've got brains enough to grasp one
single solitary idea 1 wish you'd,
And then, John, you noticed l was
taking notes and stopped. If you will go
On"
But John slammed the evening paper
into corner, kicked over a chair. and ex-
claimed in disgust:
well, that's the last time I'll marry my
typewriter" ,-,..
And now he's trying to explain his last
remark.

DISCOVERY OF MAHOGANY.
Carpenters Tried to Repair House with
1t, Then Threw 1t Away.
Detroit Free Press.l


The discovery Of the beautiful and cost
ly timber known as mahogany was purely
accidental. The first mention made Of 10
was by Sir Walter Raleigh, who used 1t in
1897 at Trinidid for repairing his ships.
About the beginning of the eighteenth
century a small quantity of It was taken to
England BY West India captain named
Gibbons, who sent few planks TO his
brother. physician residing in London,
This gentleman at the time of the receipt
of the wood was having house built and
placed the planks in the hands OF the car
penters.
They attempted to cut it, but because Of
It's hardness very quickly threw 1t aside.
The Doctor expOstulated, but the work
men remained fixed in their determination
to have nothing TO do with lumber which
so successfully resisted their attempts to
saw il.
The planks were then taken 10 O cabinet
maker named WollastOn, who was di-
rected to make candle-box with portion
of the wood. The same objection was adj
vanced by this workman but being pei
severing individual he persisted and finally
made the box. When polished it so out
shone anything previously made that it
very quickly became an object OF curiosity
and the people hocked TO see II.
Asa consequence the wood became quite
popular, especially after q portion of the
physiclan's treasure was employed in the
construction of two bureaus, one for him.
\ self and the other for the Duchess Of Buck
ingham. -
These specimens Of cabinet-work caused
the rejected wood TO become prominent
factor in the construction of luxurious
pieces Of furniture. Thus Wollaston was
amply rewarded for his perseverance In
fashioning it into the candle-box, and his
name, together with that of the physician
and his nautical brother, became insepara-
bly connected with the history Of the in
PRODUCTION of this wood into civilized
lands

IMPORTANT IF TRUE.
Wales. 1t Is Said, to be Correspondent In
aDIvorce Suit.

TBy Anglo-American cable 20 the Dispatch.l
LONDON, June ia 1umor, which can
not be confirmed, is current tonight that
Lord Brooke has filed a petition for dl-
vOrce from his wife on the ground Of Grim
inal conduct with the Prince OF Wales.
The intimacy of the Prince Of Wales and
the BroOks's has long been a matter of
common knowledge. but IL has always
been regarded as platonic attachment.
MR.. sTANHOPE's VIEWS.
Interest in the baccarat questions at
tracted TO the House of Commons TO-DAY
the largest afternoon attendance of the
present session. The speakers. Strangers,
and ladies' galleries were packed. The
House, hushed aud intensely expectant,
listened eagerly TO Mr.. Stanhopes state
ment, which had evidently been carefully
prepared. The announcement that Cen
erai Williams was already on the retired
list surprised the group of Radicals eager
to attack him, and the Prince Of Wales's
voluntary admission of an error of Judg-
ment on his part astonlshed and gratlhed
the whole House, and was received with
slight cheering from the opposition
benches and repeated cOngratulatory
shouts of Hear! Hear from the
Conservatives.
THE REPLY GENERALLY ACCEPTABLE.
The utter absence Of an official state
ment of defence rendered the reply ac-
ceptable to every side and has taken the
pitch ont of the Radical intention to con-
tinue their action. Several extremists, at
a subsequent private conference, tried to
arrange for a motion declaring that the
Prince OF Wales ought 20 be censured for
Indiscretlon. The bulk Of the opposition,
however, are averse to any further action
and want the matter to rest where Mr..
Stanhope left it.
A MOTION FOR PRECEDENCE,
Mr.. Smith moved in the House of Com
mons this afternoon that for the remainder
of the session several measures shall have
precedence over ell others. He announced
that every bill would probably be dropped
except the Irish land bill, the education
bill, the factories bill, the public health
bill, and the renewal of gold coinage bill.
"LABBY" AGAINST "MUDDLING."
Mr.. Labouchere complained of the
"muddhng" of public business and sew
eral other members protested against tine
sacrifice of bills promoted by individual
members.
Mr.. Smiths motion was agreed to,
