How Mahogany Is Obtained.

Mahogany, which Is chiefly found in
Nicaragua, Is . very valuable wood,
but it takes much time and is expensive
TO import. In order to do so conces-
sion must first be granted by the Mica
raguan governments; then 1t is neces.
cary to find native laborers to cut the
wood, for no one else can live in the
malarial swamps infested with poison.
GUS snakes end other reptiles, where
the trees grow The natives are hard
20 manage, as they easily take offense
at fancied Sights and then refuse to
work at all. There are 400 or 500 Logo
TO IN acre and each log brings $75.
However, they have to be laboriously
hauled out of the dense woods one at u
time, and the working season only lasts
for six nonths OF the year. Most Of
the logs are sent to France. as the
United States is poor market for the
wood.

articles will tie high.
ONE of the most handy utensils
about farm and barnyard is a wheel
barrow whose wheel has a broad tire.
The common narrow tire on a barrow
wheel cuts into the soft ground so
that it makes it a very hard vehicle
to propel.
Good hay, properly fed, will carry
stock through mild winter without
grain, but they cannot make much
gain on 1t. The reason why some
who try this find their stock in su h
bad shape in the spring is that the
hay is not very good-probably cut
too late.

OBSCURE PRESCRIPTION.
Doctors Should he Careful to Say

A prescription written by a we'll

says the New York Tribune, gave the
followin" directions: First day take
three pills at intervals of an hour; sec,
ond day take two pills at intervals OF
an hour; third day take one pill and
then stop"
This is certainly obscure. and as n
matter of fact the wording of the pre-
scciption came @ causing serious
trouble. The direction for the third
day would be likely. of course. to make
any one pauSc to consider what was
meant by the whole. but, if that last di-
rection had not been given it would
have been easy for some people to in
tcrprct the directions as take three
pills every hour during the first day
and two pills every hour during the
second day" What was meant, Of
course, was that three pills We're to be
taken on the first day, one pill at a

which has surrounded the labor question
tor some time past, decided to settle the
matter without any further ceremony.
The company notified the miners union
that it would reduce wages to So a day
or entirely suspend operations in all the
works and gave the miners a week to
decide wheter they decided to work on
