Too many women when they become
wives and mothers cease their reading
as they forget their songs. Bright
speech and good story may be told
over the coffee with much better effect
than the recital of the household wor-
ries and the ways Of the handmaiden,
topics In high favor with most women
when the man OF the house returns at
eventide. There is nothing so fascinat-
ing to the masculine nature as the ele-
ment of uncertainty in life. In business
and all the contingencies Of life. That

FACTS ABOUT MAHOGANY.
Where II Grows, It's Value and How II
Is Prepared For Shipment.

Where II Grows, Its Value and How Il
ls Prepared For Shipment.
The United States is not a ma
hogany growing country, unless Gu
ba may now be said to be a part of
the United States. 1t is tropical
wood. Its home is in Central Amer
lea and in Cuba, Jamaica and Santo
Domingo. These islands give the
smallest, but heaviest and prettiest
wood. British Honduras, Guatemala
and Nicaragua give the most and
Mexico the largest timber. The
richer, solid, heavy varieties come
from the islands. These will not
float. They are susceptible of a
high polish, and the wood has a
rich, wavy figure. The pretty fig
ured pieces of wood are of great
value. A six foot piece, which in
cluded the crotch of tree, in a GER
tain shipment brought about $500
when cut into veneers.
No matter where a shipment Of
the wood comes from or what varie-
ty it is, there are always more or
less Of the fine, faky sticks that
make veneer. Mahogany is a phe-
nomenal wood, in that it does not
warp under any conditions of wealth
er, use or age. Neither does ;. it
shrink. 1t is of great beauty, hard
ness and durability. In no other
wood can these qualities be found
combined with large size, uniformi-
ty of grain and richness of color and
figure.
The island timbers are eight to
ten feet in length by twelve inches
in diameter, some from Cuba, how
ever, reaching thirty-fve feet in
length by two feet in diameter. Hon
duras squared timbers are as long as
forty feet by two feet in diameter,
and the three foot and four foot
timbers come from Mexico. The
softer mahogany comes from the
swampy lands. There are no ma
hogany forests. The trees are not
grouped that way, the individual
trees being more or less widely sep
arated. Like other trees, the core
is the poorest part, often being
worthless.-Mississippi Valley Lum-
herman.

Among all tie useless things that

would perhaps be impossible to find
anything more entirely absurd than the

high enough to support the pillows and

Tho Tailor Made Gown.

Women take II lot better care of their
evening gowns than those in which
they are seen daily. Isn't 1t strange
how many women will wear tailor
made day after day every time they go
out, yet never think of Laving 1t press
ed? Yet man always has the suit
he isn't wearing in the hands of his
tailor. being cleuLed and pressed.
Women's tailor mades are good deal
like mems clothes nowGdays-that is,
in the cloths of which they are made.
They are almost as Liable to being
kneed or wrinlled. and there's nothing
freshens gown like Il good brushing

Not long ago stock of crockery

General Stoessle then asked per-
mission to present his charger to
General Nogi as token of his APP
probation and admiration.
General Nogl expressed thanks
for the Russian generals kindness
but said he could not accept the
horse, but, he continued, he would
accept it for the army, since he
considered that the Russian hors-
es we're the property of japan and
felt he could not make General
Stoessel's charger his private
property. General Nogi also
promised that when the horse was
handed over to him to see that it
was treated with the greatest
kindness out of respect for the
brave Russian foe.
Thereupon General Stoessel as
sured General Nogi that he ad-
mired his rigorous principles and
appreciated his point of view.
The Japanese commander re-
quested General Stoessel to con-
tinue to occupy his residence at
Port Arthur until arrangements
were completed for the return of
himself and family to Russia.
Referring to the burial of the
dead, General Nogi said the Jap
anese since the beginning on the
military operations had always
buried the Russian dead. Those
found later on would be inferred
at u special epot and suitable
memorial would be erected as a
tribute to the bravery of the for
mer foes Of the Japanese.
After luncheon, at which both
generals sat together, group
photograph was taken at the cot
tage and General Stoessel remoun-
ted his charger to show the
horses good points and said good
bye to General Nogi and rode
back to Port Arthur.
The quiet and even solemn
meeting of the generals ended at
about l o'clock. The regular
Russian soldiers in Port Arthur
marched out today. The only
troops now in the city are the
volunteers.
Two fires were started in Port
Arthur today, for which General
Stoessel apologized. He said the
volunteers were unable to control
the populace and he desired the
Japanese enter. Port, Arthur i'm

FUTURE
Of Organized Labor
is Considered.
PRES. MITCHELL SPEAKS
Concerning the Expiration of Con-
tracts, and Labor Fortifying
Against Reduction.

cit may not be amiss at this
time to call your attention to the
fact that one year fr' m next April
our joint agreements expire in
practically every coal producing
district, both bituminous and an
thracite, in the United States.
Reference to the reports of COM
mercial agencies and trade jour
nails seems to indicate an ap-
preaching revival of business and
a period OF industrial activity. If
these predictions are realized, we
should be able to regain the loss
in wages sustained one year ago
and to improve conditions OF en-
ployment in those districts in
which no reductions were forced
upon us. 1t is, Of course, un-
necessary 10 say that our ability
to make furthur advancement-oI
even to retain our present stan
dard of living and wages-will de-
pend in no small degree, upon the
strength and solidity of our union
and in making preparations foi
/ that time, we should not only
strive with all our energies to per
feet our organization numerically,
but We should also make provision
for the maintenance of our people
should we be SO unfortunate as to
become involved in strike.
/ 81 am, of course, hopeful that
we shall he able to reach salts
factory settlement upon the expir-
alton of our present contracts,
but, nevertheless, there is always
the possibility of disagreement,
and as far as 1 am personally con.
cerned j have determined that.
under normal conditions, the pres,
ent scale of wages, the present
standard of living among the coaI
miners of this country shall never
be lowered with my consent
There are times when workmer
are called upon t. and should
share in the. loss of profits which
follows periods of industrial de-
preston, but there is II standard
below which men cannot maintain
themselves and their families, ano
below this point the wages of or
ganized workmen cannot be per.
mitted to fall.
"a reference to the financial re.
port of, your secretary-treasurel
will impress you more forcibly
than any words of mine could do,
with the necessity of providing
funds for the maintenance OF
strikes. The funds for this pur.
pose can only come from one
source. unless our membership
provides us with the money W,
cannot supply it to those who are
on strike. And if we are to make
adequate preparation for our mex
interstate convention we mus
have a large fund at our disposa
so that we may, in the interim
resist any attempts to reduce wag
es in the outlying districts or any
efforts to weaken the strength ant
influence of our union"

Fish and the Sixth Sense.

1t Is stated that there are some indi-
cations that fishes possess sixth
sense, the organs of which are the
pores of the head and of the lateral
band. This band is row of little ca
nails connected with the external world
by holes through the scales. In these
cavities, under which runs large
nerve, are found nerve heads or termi-
nations like those of other sense or
gans. The use of this apparatus is un-

Canned Fruit For Dessert.

Canned fruit may be used for des-
serts in many ways. Tie juice in the
can should be heavily sweetened and
boiled down to ii sirup. This makes the
fruit richer. Common canned peaches
heated in thick sirup and served with
cream are very good indeed. Canned
raspberries make delicious Bavarian
cream or charlotte russo.

Half His Shirt,

They had finished the parish tea,
and the curate stood up to say a
few words to the recipients before
they dispersed. He spoke in elo-
quent terms of the impecuniosity of
curates in general and then went on
to say in apparently touching tones,
"Why, even as l stand before you
now l have only half shirt to my

erend gentleman received parcel
containing half dozen new shirts,
accompanied by card bearing the
name of one of his fair parishioners
AT the earliest opportunity he called
upon the lady and thanked her foI
her gift and then proceeded to ask
what had prompted the kind action
