FACTS ABOUT USE OF MAHOGANY
Cuban Forests Exhausted and United States Gets Much Of Supply
Now From Mexico.

North America supplied G5.6 per cent
and Europe Is per cent. Though Eur
one supplied only a little more than
one fourth as much mahogany as there
was imported from North America, its
average value per thousand feet was
more than twice as much, due to finer
quality. The remainder of the i'm
ports came from Africa, South Amer
lea, and Asia.
Mexico furnished 1872 per cent of
the mahogany coming from North
America. Nicaragua followed with 1872
per cent, British Honduras with 1916
per cent. Cuba with s per cent, and
Honduras with IA per cent. Other
Central American countries furnished
the small remaining percentage.
Immediately following the war with
Spain. lumbermen of the United States
exploited the largest and most accessi-
bic of the Cuban mahogany forests.
For a few years the forests of Cuba
contributed more largely to the supply
lin this country than at the present
time, largely owing to the rapidity
with which this valuable timber was
logged and shipped. An engineer en-
|ployed by American authorities during
the recent Intervention in Cuba claims
that nearly all of the available supply
of mahogany of that island has been

For refined expression in the manu-
facture of furniture and all other
forms of interior decoration, mahog-
any is undoubtedly the peer OF the
hardwoods. No wood is so universally
used today for this purpose in every
city and country of the world; no
wood is so freely and successfully i'm
itated.
Americas architects and men of the
furniture and cabinet making indus
tries draw heavily upon the markets
of the world in the struggle to supply
an ever increasing demand for genu-
inc mahogany. Hundreds of tons of
logs annually are imported into this
country and worked into beautiful
forms to grace fine homes or dignity
the interior of public buildings, large
hotels or railway cars.
A few years ago mahogany was re.
garded as very precious wood, and
was employed only in the interior of
the finest houses and in the manufac.
ture of the most expensive furniture.
During the past few years, however.
there has been a wonderful develop.
ment in mahogany Importation and
use.
The total quantity of mahogany i'm
ported last year was nearly 100000
board feet. OF this large amount

exhausted and that what now remains
in any considerable quantities is far
remote from transportation facilities.
The number of buyers of mahogany
in this country's hardwood market is
now exceeded only by those of oak,
maple, poplar, Eastwood. ash, birch,
chestnut and cypress. The principal
reason for the popularity of mahogany
is that the importers of the logs and
the manufacturers of lumber have
never advanced its prices beyond a
modest profit, and it is relatively SO
low that it now makes little difference
in price whether an office building or
a home is finished in mahogany or
quarter-sawed white oak.
Another reason for its popularity is
because it improves in tone with age.
After much experimentation car build
ers finish practically all of their cars
in mahogany, as it withstands salts
Ifactorily the severe usage and also
holds it's finish. The chief centers OF
mahogany importation and manufac.
ture are Boston, New York, Louisville
New Orleans, Chicago, and Indian
apolis.
The mahogany is the wood of tree
of Swietenia, of the natural family OF
lCedrelaceae, named by Joaquin in hon
or of ]. Van Swieten- The tree is one
of the most majestic and beautiful
with large spreading head and pinnate
shining leaves. The trunk is often 4t
feet in length and feet in diameter
and is divided into many massive
arms.

Journal there appeared recently an in

According to Expert Opinion, Play

That Beerbohm Tree, the player,
has caustic wit is evidenced by an
incident wherein he and an unknown
playwright figured.
The writer had obtained permission
to read his offering to Tree. The actor
evinced no great degree of enthus-
isam, either during or after the read
ing; but he did take the manuscript,
upon which he scrubbed hastily few
suggestions for its betterment.
See here, Mr.. Tree" was the indig-
nant ejaculation of the ambitious play
wright, its hardly fair of you to dis
pose of my work in this summary and
nonchalant fashion. I'd have you
know that this play cost me a years
hard labor!"
"So?" queried Tree. my dear fell

you at least five!"-Harper's Weekly.

THE WoNDERBERRY.

Mr.. Luther Burbank, the plant Wiz
ard of California, has originated a
wonderful new plant which grows any
where, in any soil or climate, and bears
great quantities of luscious berries all
the season. Plants are grown from
seed, and it takes only three months
to get them in bearing, and they may
be grown and fruited all summer in
the garden, or in pots during the win
ter. 1t is unquestionably the greatest
Fruit Novelty ever known, and Mr..
Burbank has made Mr.. John Lewis

America. Mr.. Childs is advertising
seed of the Wonderberry all over the
world, and offering great inducements
to Agents for taking orders for it.
This berry is so fine and valuable, and
so easily grown anywhere, that every
body should get it at once.

JOY WORK
And the Other Kind.

Did you ever stand on a prominent
corner at an early morning hour and

cause it meant their daily bread, and
the others cheerfully and eagerly pur-
suing their way because Of love of
their work.
1t is fact that ones food has much
to do with it. AS an example:
If an engine has poor oil, or boiler
is fired with poor coal, bad result is
certain, isn't it?
Treating your stomach right is the
keystone that sustains the arch of
health's temple and you will find

the result that prompted the testimo-
NAL.

tial trial. Remember there are mil
lions eating Grape-Nuts every day
they know, and we know if you will

Place potatoes in a skillet, iron

cover tightly with turned over sauce

better than that of ordinary mashed
potatoes, especially if, in removing the
skins, care is taken to get all the con-
tents out.
