INITIATE HARDWOODS

seriousness of the timber supply l question more than those engaged | in the manufacture of furniture, 1 and surely no industry is better prepared to meet the condition of the lumber market than they. Furniture manufacturers have i realized for some years that a pinch in the hardwood market is sure to come and they have suc- ceeded admirably in coping with the situation by the economical use of material by the practice of veneering, and the successful imitation of the highest priced hardwoods, at the same time keep ing up the standard of their product.
 During the last few years the great increase in the price of hard woods used in the manufacture of | furniture has created strong demand for wood which can be used in imitation of high-priced | hardwoods. The two woods that are most often successfully i'm itated are mahogany and oak, particularly the quartered oak in i the golden and darker finishes. 1 Almost without exception, the manufacturer markets these inn itations either as limitations or under some registered trade name, and does not pretend to deceive his customers
 For initiating mahogany, cherry was formerly used almost entirely. but the diminished supply and the increased price of this wood have led the ma!nufacturers to seek wood which would lend itself more readily to the stain than cherry and, at the same time, show the grain and hold the gloss. For these reasons birch, especially | curly birch. maple, beech, and gum are extensively used for all parts | of furniture. Even in the better grades of mahogany furniture. birch and maple stained to mahogany finish are often used for the posts and frames, while genu- inc mahogany, in the form of veneer, is used for panels, tops and rolls.
 In making imitation quartered oak, almost any wood can be used, since in this case, the original grain of the wood is first covered | with filler" and then the quar- tering is printed on in dark ink by the impression of actual quartered 1 oak rolls or by a transfer from quartered oak prepared by special processes. The kinds of wood | commonly used for this work are birch, maple. poplar, and plain sawed oak After the wood has been finished and polished, the imitation appears so real that only | an expert can detect the difference.
 There are certain woods used in furniture construction which are extremely expensive, owing to the difficulty of obtaining pieces with a good grain of sufficient size for working. Such a wood for insta nee is Circassian walnut This wood l which comes from the Ural noun i tains is largely used in the form of veneers for chair backs, panels, and tops in bed room suites, table | tops, etc.. the balance of the piece | of furniture being composed either of American or black walnut, | (natural fnish) or of satin wal nut, commonly known as red gum. This red gum. while it does not often show the beautiful grain of the panel, is 80 near the color of plain Circassian walnut that only | close scrutiny can detect the difference in the wood.

SAYS German Government Dominated by
Might of Wealth and Machine
Campaign Fund Denounced.

BERLIN, Feb. 26.-Herr Bebel, So
cialst leader, in the Rechstag today at
tackled the government.

Maj.-Gen. keim, managing director of,
the naval league, relative to the imperial
chancellor, Prince Won Buelow, having
sent $500 to the headquarters of the.
league for campaign purposes. Herr
Bebel said:
The recent Reichstag elections We're
simply IN official campaign without
parallel since the regime of Napoleon
III. Officers had been detailed to make
campaign speeches, and money had been
handed over from the imperial chancel-
lory to the league.
Herr Bebel added:
The Prussian ministry under Won
Buelow is the incarnation of the stagna-
ton of culture"
The imperial chancellor, who had fed
the house when Herr Bebel was speak
ing. rose as the latter ended his speech
and addressed the house.
AS for the money which he was charged
with having given to the naval league,
the chancellor said the origin of the sum
mentioned and the disposition made of it
were simple. Several gentlemen at the
beginning of the campaign desired to IN
vest money in promoting what they
rightly regarded as being the national
interests. His advice was asked and he
had been pleased to be able to transmit
contributions for legitimate purposes.

The Tone-Giving Spoon.

When civilizing influences began to be
felt by the soaring barbarian, fashion
demanded that he should quit using his
paw or an oyster shell to convey the
savory soup to his mouth. A gypsy
from India had come around peddling
horn spoons. and their use became a
sign of artistocratic taste and tenden-
cies Then still more luxurious tastes de-
veloped. Specimens of ivory and bone
have been found in the abodes of the
cave-dwellers and lake-dwellers all over
Europe. Spoons of gold and silver are
mentioned as having been used at Nero's
table. In Saxon times every guest
brought his own knife and spoon, the
host providing a towel or cloth for WHIP
ing each at the close of the repast-

at the Presidents desk in the office of
the newly organized Carnegie Trust COM

Upon retiring from the cabinet Mr..
Shaw will have served one month more
than FIVE years, having taken the treas

life.
He came to Washington as a country
banker from Iowa, who had gained con-
siderable political fame as governor of
that state and an ardent upholder of
the gold standard. Combining set of
financial views which are more or less
striking in their originality with rad
zeal standpat tariff policy, he has be-

Whether he will drop political ambi-
ton entirely, now that he has definitely

know his public and private plans, de-
clare that he is not out of the running
