NOriginv of Mahogany.

The origin of the use of mahogany
is said to have been as follows: A
West Indian trader brought home sew
eral logs of mahogany as ballast for his
ship. The traders brother, London
physician, happened to be building a
house, and his brother suggested that
the logs would serve for ceiling beams.
Acting on the proposal, the doctor gave
orders to his workmen accordingly, but
their tools were not able to make an i'm
preston on the hard wood. The doctor
ordered fresh tools to be made, and at
length succeeded in finding implements
which would cut the timber. Delighted
with his discovery he ordered bureau
to be made, and so beautiful was 1t
that it attracted general attention.

barrier Of light" formed by placing
fifty electric lamps along a submerged
cable between the island of Fano ant
the coast Of Funen. The effectiveness
of such barrier depends upon the fact
that the eels migrate only during the
dark hours. Accordingly, as soon dis
darkness begins, In the season of mi
grafton, the lamps are illuminated and
thus a wall of light Is jnterposed from
which the eels recol. A similar prin
ciple is said to have been employed
from time immemorlal by fishermen on
certain parts of the coast Of Italy.
1t Is no new principle that Doctor
Fere Of the Bicetre Hospital in Pari.
has made known in recent article Al
"Work and Repose," but it Is not the
less worth repeating. He has made
many special experiments, and an
nounces as their general result that the
supposed value of various alcoholic
and other stimulants to increase phys!-
cal and mental energy, and postpone
fatigue, or avoid the effects of fatigue,
Is illusory. There is only one form of
effective, recreative repOse-sleep; and
sleep, in order to exercise its proper
power, must be natural. The sleep pro.
duced by narcotics Is "a toxic sOmno-
lence having the appearance only Of
real reparative Sleep" But sleep itself
is mystery concerning whose nature
we possess merely a Hypothetical
knowledge"
Recent studies by Prof. Penck in the
Alps, combined with those Of Hugo
Obermaier, distinguished pupil OF
Penck, in the Pyrenees, have had the
effect of considerably shortening the
estimate of the length of time that has
elapsed since prehistoric man left the
marks of his presence in Europe. Il
now appears that both in the Alps ant
, the Pyrenees there exist contemporary
geological records showing four sue
cessive periods of alternate advance
and retreat of glaciation. Heretofore
, it has been considered probable tina
, prehistoric men dwelt in the neighbor

Now, what's the consequence of the

you, am not suggesting that SON, body

in our minds eye we imagine all the
men we know standing on pedestals and

the women we know as the Venus de

shapeless bagginess!

Why aren't we all handsome, then?
The main reason is that not one moth

old Irishwoman, who raised five fine,
big, strapping, honest SONS, said to me
one day:
"The Lord forgive me for speakin'
disrespectful of Him, but l declare to
you l donno what He's thinkin' of
whin he gives some women childher."
And that's about so. The doctors
tell us that 80 per cent of our troubles
we may blame our mothers for. And
yet they're not so much to blame, either.
The only way they had of getting 4
living was catching husband. Once
caught they had him for life. The
catching was the main thing.
Ignorant they may be of their trade
as mothers, and some say they are ig-
norant Of their trade as wives, but no.
body will accuse the women of being
ignorant of the art and craft of catch
ing husbands.

sIMIAN LOVE AND REVENGE.
Peculiar Conduct of Monkey
Causes Sailors Much Trouble.

Peculiar Conduct of Monkey
Causes Sailors Much Trouble.
A curious story of love and revenge
comes to us from the far east and the
fact that it Is the love and revenge
Of Javanese monkey doesn't abate
the human interest in the narrative.
Nor should the further fact that the
tale comes to us via the crew of
tramp steamer abate all confidence in
its truth. 1t appears that the sailors
who manned this steamer had collected
In Java a number of monkeys for spec
ulative purposes and these were con-
fined in the hold
Among them were two unusually in
telligent simians who were released
during the voyage and permitted the
freedom of the ship. Unhappily n
sudden storm came up and one Of the
playful creatures was washed over
board. The remaining one, who had
not seen his comrades sudden taking
off, searched the ship for hours and
finally betook himself to the rigging,
where he remained three days, refus-
ing food and avoiding all efforts to cap
ture him.
No doubt he held the sailors respon-
sible for the death of his partner and
| 1t would appear that he was formulat-
ing a scheme for revenge. Anyway
the third night he released all the mon
keys in the hold and for two days the
simians made life miserable for the
sailors. They bit and scratched and
fought and it was only after a number
of them had been flung overheard that
the balance could be captured and Sc.
cured. And in all the forays and fierce
charges the revengeful monkey was IN
the van.
Whatever may be contended concern
ing the reasoning powers Of the brute
creation, there have been many in
stances recorded of their remembrance
of past injuries And this fact wouit
seem to give the story of monkey ven
geance some semblance of truth

CONVINCING THE ARABS.


1t is hard to make nomadic Arab
believe that a white man can by any
possibility know anything about the
desert-especlally so to persuade him
that the lines and letters on the trav-
eler's map convey any accurate infor-
nation which will guide him on his
way. Interpretation OF these mystic
symbols, says the blographer of Henry
Clay Trumbull, gained that famous
mission worker something of the repu-
tation of a magician when he went to
find Kadesh-Barnea, the place where
the people of Israel rebelled against
Moses.
'Ayn Qadees was the modern name
his Arabs if they could lead him thith-
er, they steadfastly maintained that
they had never heard of it.
"Oh, WE'LL" said Mr.. Trumbull, know
ing what pride the Bedouin has in his
knowledge of the desert, "the trouble Is
you don't know your own country as
well as l know it. We ought to change
places. You give me bakshish and l
will show you the country.
Tomorrow morning we will go to
'Ayn Muwayleh. We will 90 past that.
Then we will turn off from the track
to the right. We will 60 down that
way about one hour. There we will find
one, two, three wells. Beyond them
will be flags and rushes growing Then
little farther on we shall find more
wells. That is Qadees. You don't
know it, but l do. Give me bakshish
and I'll show it to you"
There was CONSERVATION among the
Arabs. They discussed the matter ex-
citedly. Then their spokesman came.
"Mr. Trombool," lie said, Il tell you
now the true, honor bright They tell
me true now on the Koran. They know
that place you tell them, but they no
call it that name. They no call that
Qadees. They call it Qasaymeh."
1t flashed across Mr.. Trumbulps
mind that Bartlett, who had preceded
him and whose map he was following,
had been deceived by the Arabs.
VERY WELL" he said. But do they
know where Qadees is if this is not it?"
The spokesman knew-yes, indeed.
What Is more, he knew there was no
use wasting time trying to fool man
: who could describe the desert paths as
this one could; so forthwith they turn
ed from the main road, and over a most
difficult trail made their way to place
which, it was evident at gleqce was
what Mr.. Trumbull sought, the plao..
of the Fountain of Judgment.
