Though Ice Formed in the Vicinity OF

Of many farmers in this section OF the

there would have been serious trouble,

general that the fruit will not suffer as a
result Of the drop in temperature.

NUEsOF WOOD

Mahogany when IL Is New Is OF a
Light Color.
Not all the mahogany which we see
n use today exhibited as an heirloom
is the real antique it Is said to be, for
helrlooms may be made to order, and
even q furniture connoisseur will have
difficulty in detecting the difference.
Most people think of mahogany as
deep red, while, in fact. when new it is
a light color without stain, and when
treated with colorless liquids it be-
comes a golden shade. This darhens
with age. ana at present all the genu-
inc mahogany which we see must have
attained its dark hue through centuries
Of use It is about the most expensive
OF the woods In general use. but Cir
cassian walnut IS valued even higher.
Blrdseye maple is next, a costly mate
rial on account of the great difficulty
In treating H.. Its grain is perhaps the
most eccentric of all the various styles,
and consequently its working up and
its lasting qualities are rather uncer-
tain. The differences In grain make
differences in its density and hence its
disposition 10 crack and split. Vernls
Martin is a style which was a favorlte
in the reign of Louis XIV. and its pop
ularity has not waned with the years
1t takes fits name from a famous fam
lly named Martin who were noted cab
lnetmakers in Louis XV.'s reign. This
beautiful spaftercd gold dust decora
ton, with its paintings by Watteau Is
the real Vernis Martin style, unchang
ed today.
Oak is at the head Of the lists Of
woods which have varied finishes. Bog
oak is a brown green shade, caused by
long immersion in peat OF marsh bogs.
Old English oak has a rich brown
shade, supposed to be acquired by age
and the smoke from fireplaces. Both
these styles are however, successfully
Initiated by the manufacturers OF to-
day. weathered oak and Flemish oak
are both popular finishes, the former
representing the color which rain and
sun and wind would cause on the oak,
and the latter Is black, representing
the effect caused by centuries Of smoke
on overheated rdfters. Antwerp oak is
one Of the dark finishes like the others
mentioned. but varnish and shellac are
used. SO that high polish is the re
suit.
Birch, natural or curly; maple and
sycamore are the original wood shell

LONG WALK IN OFFICE
Average Business Man Covers Vast

Average Business Man Covers vast
Territory In Year.
'If 1 had n cent for every mile I
walk during office hours every day I'd
soon be able to retire." is remark
frequently heard from men and wo-
men who are kept on their feet while
at business The general impression is
that the distance Travelled daily is very
great. And so il may be. But the sim
pie experiment Of carrying q pedome-
ter for few weeks will probably
chow that ones income at cent a
mile would not be worth collecting UNI
Ill the end of year.
A downtown Office man has Just FIN
ished an experiment of this nature. He
carrled a pedometer six weeks. regis
terlng It's total each night. At the end
OF that time it was found that the dis
tance Travelled, though varying greatly
from day to day. came to fairly even
average at the end OF each Meek.
How many miles do you suppose he
walked on the day Of his highest rec.
ord? Twenty? Thirty? Fifty? No,
only nine miles. The lowest record
came the very next day and was a
mile and half But the average for
each week was thirty-three and one
third miles. or an average Of six and a
half miles for each working day. The
six weeks showed totals as follows;
30i5. 2Iia. 81. "a, 32la. 30. or an aggre-
gate OF 200 miles and a half mile over.
At the end Of six weeks, therefore, he
would have collected 81 at a cent a
mile.
In the course OF a year this Office
travelling represents an Impressive
walking tour. with its total Of 1888
miles. II made as a continuous trip
across country It would take him from
New York to Bismarck, n d., or to
Galveston. Tex Brooklyn Eagle.

LOVE OF SAND
sIan's Unconscious HarIring Back to
Primitive Times.

sIan's Unconscious HarIring Back TO
Primitive Times.
The love Of sand is universal, felt by
all and at all ages. The child finds in
IN a ready and plentiful material for
giving something OF defniteness to the
world Of his childish imagination, and
when experience shall have proved the
real world to be less pleasant and not
expressible in sand he nevertheless as
a grown man tacitly admits the attrac-
tion Of the old time medium and
spends his holidays upon II. No water
ing place need trouble as to it's pros
perity If it has broad forefront Of
sand.
Probably so general and ingrained a
love Is only to be accounted for as the
result Of a sympathetic and uncon-
scious "harking back" 10 the feel Of
the life on the dry sandy soils OF the
east, upon which man first wandered
and In which he first delved. He can
sit OF lie with greater comfort and
ease-as he originally sat, without a
chair, or lay, without a couch-upon
sand than upon any other kind Of
earth, and upon sand he reverts read
lily and without fear VI convention 10
primeval barefootedness. Possibly even
the charm Of the "sanded iioor"-in the
concrete to our forefathers, the COM
fort and coziness Of cherry inn parlors
and kitchens, warm with the ruddy
heat Of glowing logs, on snowy nights
may also be due TO vaguely assertiye
instinct
In proof it may be readily concluded
that far distant man would not have
been long in finding out the advan-
tages of dry cave as a dwelling
place. It would be found most readily
In soft friable rocks. The natural and
further easy expansion Of the cave to
meet growing demands for house room
by scraping down Of roof and sides
would result In sanded floor. Littei
of rude cave living and housekeeping
could be more easily swept out with
the leafy bough or bunch Of sedges
acting as the original broom when
mixed with sand than without its aid
The savage family which swept its
cave out oftenest and most thoroughly
would certainly be the healthiest anc
strongest-London Spectator
