Many of the finest woods in exist,
ence are yet unknown, or only slightly
known, to the manufacturers of wood
in the civilized world. The woods of
Central and South America are, per-
haps, the most remarkable as well as.
the least known. In the yet untouched
forests of this continent are many.
woods far finer than any of those now
in use. These woods range from pure
white to jet black in color, and many
of them are most beautifully marked
and veined. Some of them are SO hard
that they turn the edges of axes, CHS:
els and other tools. while the band saw
cuts them only slowly. In the Column
bian exposition there were many dis.
plays of little known woods, and the
finest of them were those from Argen-
tine Republic, Brazil and other South
American countries. Some OF these
southern woods yielded to the teeth
of the band saw, not the ordinary saw
dust, but fine powder, fine as the
finest flour, so hard were the
woods. Some of them burnt but
slowly. Others possess qualities that
keep them free from insects. Some of
them seemed to be practically indie
structible by air and water. All along
the eastern slopes of the Andes, up to
the snow line on those great eleva-
tions, throughout all the great river
valleys. and in some of the wide areas
of level country in South America, are
great forests of fine woods that are es-
pecially fit for the finest cabinet and
furniture work, and also for shipbuild-
ing. carpentry and other industrial arts
in which wood is the raw material"
These great forests are now an I'M
known quantity in the commercial
world. but they will come rapidly into
the knowledge of men and into indus
trial use when once the railroad has
reached them. Before many years. 1t
is safe to predict. the South American
and Central American republics will be
threaded by railroads. and then those
wonderful woods will be drawn upon
to supply the demand for new and fine
woods i'm all the civilized countries

COLORISG GLEO.-Oleo is a villainous
brand simply because il is only sold as
butter. If every state would pass a
law making it 4 criminal ofTense in the
manufacture to color it. the stuff
would die of its own accord. 1t tastes
like white lard, and it naturally look,
like white lard. and it is u sin and Il
shame that it should be allowed to
masquerade as yellow batter. The
south is the peculiar victim of thi,
fraud. and yet there is hardly a state
below the line that has the usual cleo
laws against its fraudulent sale.
Hence, we say, encourage dairy organi-
zation.-Elgin Dairy Record,

KNOWLEDGE

tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, vino live bet

less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products TO

the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup Of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas

beneficial properties of perfect lax
alive; effectually% cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid

A TESTED COw.-The exhibitions OF
the Eabcock tester at many of the ag-
ricul:ural fairs has been a useful adj
vertisement for it. and an excellent
object lesson for the dairymcn. who
should use it to test their milk a: home.
that they may learn which cows give
the best milk. However. we should
not care to buy or condemn a COW
because of the result of Il test made
under the condition of an animal in Il
strange place and surrounded by thou
sands of strangers. We do not know
enough about it yet to know whether
there would be an excitement that
would increase or decrease the fat in
the milk from its normal condition.
And the results would be apt to vary
much with different animals. An old
stagcr that had hecn taken to a dozen
or more fairs might not notice it at all.
while a younger, nervous heifer. never
away from home before. might be
greatly excited by her strange sur,
roundings.-Ex.

The Women KNOW Rest.

Much comment has been caused by
the official reports of the United States
N Canadian governments, in which
are presented the evidences of the SUI
perior strength, purity and wholesome
ness of the Royal Baking Powder.
II is true that the good housewife
looksupOn concentrations of the Royal
Baking Powder from scientists and
official sources such As these very much
like the gliding of refined gold" Her
practical experience long since taught
her i'm the most convincing way the
great usefulness and superiority of the
Royal article. A higher proof than
this she does not want and cannot have.
Yet it is pleasant for her to realize
hat the facts established by these
great competitive tests. these scientific
examinations made under direction of
the Government, exactly parallel those
she had before worked u in her own
cOmmon-sense practical way.
1t does not appear that any baking
powder, when presented in competi-
tion with the Royal. either at the Gov
eminent tests or before Worlds Fair
iuries. has ever received favor or award
over the Royal or made an equal show

conductor and saw him add it to a
bunch already bullying in his pocket.

In the present increase of cheap magazines
II is well to remember that those which retail
at ten cents are sold at but 4 few cents above
the cost of the paper and printing. Judged by
mere bulk they contain hardly half the amount
of reading matter that is found in the larger
magazines. and however interesting they may
be. the features that have made the American
magazines, and especially The Century
famous throughout the world. are not possible
in these lower priced periodicals.. Among these
features are great historical and biographical
works such as the War Papers. upon which
there was expended for text and illustration

upon it for years. much Ct the time having been

TO the national archives: and all the recently

history The Century Co. have made special
arrangements with many modern artists for the

Eruit and Vegetables Profitable.

Prof. VIM. L. Lazenby, than whom
there is no more competent man to
make the statement. affirms that he
never knew of 4 community where
fruit and vegetable growing was over
done. We believe this 10 he true, and
from a rather wide observation we be-
lieve that this business is one that
creates a permanent demand when in
a~ugurated in any district. no matter
how u~npromising it may have appeared
to be, when begun. We know of COM
,munitieS where the one who first
started out in this line were looked
upon as visiOnaries who would never
make the business pay. but whoare now
enjoying a competence. while others
are making money by following in
their footsteps. The truth is that the
more of n certain line of goods or pro-
duets of any kind there is produced in
any community the wider becomes its
buyers there are who are attracted to
it. Certain districts in Ohio. for in
stance. are noted for their onion crops
in all the markets of the country. and
buyers from distant points regularly
visit those districts to purchase the
crops. Others are just as well known
for the production of Strawberries. and
the demand reaches as far as Chicago
on the west and to distant points in
other directions. So with other crops
of this class. Grapes, berries. potatoes
or any other crop grown by horticult-
wrists. if grown in large quantities in
any section of the country. become OBJ
jects OF competition among large buy
ers and good prices rule. If the mar
ket is not SO wide as in case of small
growers there is always a permanent
demand at home up to certain limits,
and Is Don as this is reached other
markets are opened. There is not the
least danger Of horticulture being
overdone in this country for a long
time.

CHECK THE WEEDs.-We never liked
the practice of letting the weeds grow
until their seeds We're ripened, which
is often defended by the plea that they
can then be gathered together and
burned. \ great many weed seeds are
shelled in cutting or pulling the weed
and getting it to the heap. Then I'M
less some dry wood is used to make an
extremely hot fire, it is by no means
certain that all the weed seeds will be
destroyed. The heat of fire bursts the
seed pods, and they fall to the earth. If
the fire burns slowly without much
heat, the carbonic acid gas which is
thus developed does not rise and be
dissipated into the air. but remains at
the bottom to burn. The weed seeds
are thus protected, and will often
spring up. especially around the edges
OF the fire where a heap of weeds was
burned the previous year.-Ex.

is told by a recent Egyptian traveller.
Every visitor to Egypt is called on to
purchase what the seller impudently
declares to be mummy wheat. but
which is really wheat of the present or

is found credulous enough to buy some
of this so called mummy wheat. and,
of course, it grows when planted.
Some of them have eve shown grains
of Indian corn as the grain they have
found in Egyptian tombs, though this
is an exclusively American cereal, not
known in the old world until after Co.

year Lord Sheffield, of England,

found in a newly opened tomb. 1t was
