Of beauty for human life He has seen

Naturally he does not express it as

HUNTING MAHOGANY.
II Takes an Experienced Woodsman to
Locate the Trees.

Mahogany trees do not grow in clus-
tiers, but are scattered throughout the
forest and hidden in a dense growth
of underbrush, vines and creepers and
require skillful and experienced
woodsman to find them. He seeks the
highest ground in forest, climbs to
the top of the tallest tree and surveys
the surrounding country. The mahog-
any has a peculiar foliage, and his
practiced eye soon detects the trees
within sight
The axmen follow the hunter, and
then come the sawyers and hewers, a
large mahogany taking two men full
day to fell it. The tree has large spurs
which project from the trunk at its
base, and scaffolds must be erected so
that the tree can be cut of above the
spurs. This leaves stump ten to If
teen feet high, which is sheer waste,
as the stump really contains the best
lumber.
The hunter has nothing TO do with
the work of cutting or removing the
tree, his duty being simply to locate
1t. II he is clever and energetic, his
remuneration may amount to $500 or
$1,000 month, but he may travel
weeks at time without detecting a
tree, and as he is generally paid by
results his earnings are rather precari-
ous.-St Louis Republic.

Sleep and Old Acc.

There is no question that the quantity
Of sleep required steadily diminshes
from infancy to old age. This is n
rather interesting exception to the gen
tral rule that, as in many matters, old
age returns to the needs of infancy.
AS regards sleep, old age is more re-
mote in its needs from infancy than is
any other period OF life If elderly
people obtain good sleep during the
6rst few hours and If they have not
!bst that delight in reading which we
all had in youth. but which so many
Of us curiously lose, their case is not
to be grieved over. The special value
Of the earliest hours OF sleep, by the
way, has been proved by psychological
experiment. The popular phrase "beau-
ty sleep" is well warranted. 1t is the
early, the deepest. hours of sleep that
make for health and beauty.-Pall Mall

Here is a modern fairy story from

A HELP TO OTHERS.

That was beautiful thought the
minister gave us about being on the
lookout for little unobtrusive ways we
can help others, wasn't it?" said Miss
Spears, fervently, to Mrs. VALLEY, as
the two women walked slowly home
from church together.
"Um-m, yes, it's a beautiful thought"
said Mrs. VALLEY, in guarded man.

that sermon-'twas five years ago, just

an unseeing gaze on the changing fol-

thought he wouldn't wait for me to
ask him to post 1t, same as l always

"Well, Miss Nelson, don't want you
to talk outside this room about any Of

If you do there'll be trouble"
She turned her demure face toward
him and said "Yes, SIR" so meekly and

So they got along very nicely with
out any nonsense. Barclay would come
in the morning, look to see If the sailor
hat was hanging on the peg, grunt

sit down at his desk.
His heart was constructed on solid
clockwork business principles, and one

The First Dancers.

People have danced for thousands of
years and will probably continue to
do so for ages to come. This custom
Is Of ancient origin. The first people
to dance were the Curetes, who adopt
ed dancing as a mark Of rejoicing in
1543 B. G. In early times the Greeks
combined dancing with the drama, and
in % B. c. pantomimic dances were
introduced on the Roman stage. At
the discovery Of America the American
Indians were holding their religious,
martial and social dances.

the great painter of war pictures, who
Is said to be the moving spirit in the
exhibition, expresses amazement at the
great merit of the work in a majority

jects sent in will be in the display.
The contributors range from sublieu-

painting in oils, the engineers to sculp-
ture. The infantry are at home In
