Many people suppose that the use Of
mahogany for the manufacture Of fur
niture is very ancient. AS a matter
Of fact, the first record we have Of this
rare wood is in 1895, when Sir Walter
Raleigh repaired one of his ships with
1t in the port of Trinidad. The next
we hear of mahogany is many years
later, when an Englishman who was
sailing from one of the West Indies
used quite lot Of what appeared to
him rough lumber for ballast, and
when he arrived in Eangland and
found his brother building house he
gave this apparently ill-featured tim
Der to him for his house. When his
brother turned the lumber over to his
carpenters, they refused to use it, be-
cause 1t was so hard that it spoiled
their tools; so its use for building that
house was abandoned. His wife, how
ever, short time after gave some OF
this wood to her cabinetmaker in or
der to have him make for her candle
box. He too, complained Of the hard
ness Of the wood and its effect upon
his tools. The candle box was finished
at last, however, and 1t was SO hand
some, having taken on such a beauti-
ful polish, that this box became quite
a curiosity among the society people
Of that day; SO much SO that the lady's
husband had the same cabinetmaker
make him a bureau of the same wood.
The bureau was so unusually beauti-
full that the cabinetmaker went regu-
larly into the business of manufacture
ing bureaus and made not only rep
utstion, but a large fortune out Of the
Observation-Disclosures Constitution.

90 WEST. OLD MAID.
That's tho Best Way to Increase Your
Chances of Marriage.

C1Auce5 OF uthrEthBc
The woman who can not catch man
must now lay 1t to other than econ
omic reasons. The old reliable excuse
that the supply Is not equal to the de-
mand is no longer valid. There ar
1900, 900 more bachelors than old maid
N the United States. The govern
ment says SO, and the government gen
orally knows. Perhaps it is because
old Uncle Sam himself is bachelor
for whoever heard Of Mrs. Sam?-tnas
he has taken such an interest in the
matter as to secure the exact figures.
Perhaps it was out of solicitude fol
the old maid and in the desire Of bring
Ing her more of the sunshine OF nope
that he instituted the investigation. AT
any rate he has the figures, and they
are enough to make glad the heart OF
every spinster in the land. There Is
not state in the union where there
are as many old maids as bachelors.
Even Massachusetts, the traditional
home OF the spinster of the poll-par-
rot species, has more men than wom-
en- of marriageable age. The bachelors
outnumber the old maids by only two
tenths of l per cent in Massachusetts,
which is lesser per cent OF excess
than in cly Of the other states. But,
even at that, there are nearly 7,0oU
"superf1uous men" there, who would
be left chanceless If the $4,000 old
maids would pair off with. the other
219,000 old bachelors. How is that for
Massachusetts, the greatest state In
the union for old maids? 1t would
seem that a spinster of ordinary at
fractions and ability would be able in
the light Of the facts and figures which
the governmental investigation has
disclosed to arrange matters wherever
she might live. But If she wants
territory where negotiations may be
completed with even greater ease
where the lottery Of marriage must be-

east to the rolling prairies or noun
tain wilds of the west, where there are
ten bachelors to every available maid
