BEAUTY NOT AT FIRST SEEN
Makers of Furniture Were Slow 70
Recognize the Supreme Worth Of
Mahogany Wood.

Like the use of a great many Of the
factors connected with the arts and
the sciences, the discovery OF the
beauty of the grain of mahogany for
furniture was accidental, says Lon
don contemporary. The story goes
that a certain West Indian captain
who had brought hack to England
some plaDks OF mahogany as ballast
decided to give the wood to his broth
or. a Doctor Gibbons. then building a
house on King street, Coyent Garden.
But the plaGks were so hard that
the carpenters objected and the plan
Tor using them fell through.
Some time later Mrs. Gibbons want
ed n small box made, and the doctor
sent the mahogany to a cabinetmeker.
In his turn the cabinetmaker objected
to the hardness of tie wood, but the
doctor persisted 50 much in his re-
quest that the order was finally ex-
ecuted.
The finished box polished so nicely
that the doctor ordered bureau made
of the same wood. The cabinetmaker
displayed that IN hls shop window be-
fore delivering it. The duchess of
Buckingham saw it and begged enough
wood from the doctor to have it dupll-
Gated, and mahogany furniture soCn
after came into favor.

ORCHIDS CURIOUS PLANTS
BY E. VAN BENTHUYsEN.

Orchids are curious plants, even the
simplest orchids of the endogenous
type, which belong to the same group
as lilies, palms and grasses but differ
ing in their snowy. highly-colored flow
ers OF diverse shapes Possibly there
is no flower admired more and under
stood less.
The known species of orchids num-
Der 5000, which are included in 400
genera The diligent search that has
been made for these plants in every
country in the world for cultivation
purposes and on account of their great
beauty is undoubtedly responsible for
the great number of known varieties.
Some of the orchids are terrestrial
that is, they grow with their roots
in the ground-but the greater number
are epiphytes-"air plants growing
on trees and shrubs, but receiving no
nourishment from them.
1t is a strange fact that orchids
while supposed to grow in tropical
climates only are beautiful
specimens of them-in the neighbor-
hood of snow Rational methods Of
cultivation have developed leading to
the separation of orchids in three
kinds of greenhouses, according to
temperatures maintained in them-hot
houses. temperate houses and cold
houses.
There are some artiticially produced
hybrids, wonderful creations in shape,
which differ greatly from both parents
On account of the difficulty of their
production these beautiful plants com
mand fabulous prices. Thousands of
dollars have been paid for beautiful
specimens. Once created, however,
these hybrids may be propagated in
definitely by dividing the root-stock

Miss breckenridge determined to

social function she assembled half
dozen Louisiana bellies about her and,
calling Tom to the group, handed him
the medal and said: "Mr, Marshall,

Some shrubs and vines may be
placed in angles around the house or

WHY "ANURIC"
is AN INSURANCE AGAINST SUDDEN DEATH
Sufferers from BaCkaChe, Rheumatism and Kidney Trouble

Before an Insurance Company will
take risk on your life the examining
physician will test the urine and re-
port whether you are a good risk.
When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog, you suffer from backache, sick
headache, dizzy spells, OF the twinges
and pains of lumbago, rheumatism and
gout. The urine is often cloudy, full
of sediment; channels often get sore
and sleep is disturbed two or three
times night. This is the time you
should consult some physician Of wide
experience-such as Dr. Pierce, Of the
Inyalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute,
Buffalo, ~ Y. Send him 10 cents for
sample package of his new discovery
"Anuric," Write him your symptoms
and send q sample of urine for test.

Childe strobe out of the Casino at
Monte Carlo exultantly, conscious
that thousand eyes were watching
him with envy. Two hours before he
had entered with so francs in his
pocket, the only money he possessed
in the world. He had broken the
bank-he had made 100000 francs,
or $4,000 in American money. He
had achieved a record, for he had
thrice backed winning numbers in
single sitting.
He had never had more than $500
in his life. He planned his future as
he strobe through the palm gardens.
He would leave Monte Carlo the fol-
lowing morning. He would go home,
buy an estate, settle down, marry

Pardon, monsieur"
The figure lurched against him
drunkenly. AS Childe stepped aside
another man sprang at him from the
shrubbery. He struck clumsily, how
ever Childe's fist shot out. The
man, struck squarely upon the jaw,
collapsed upon the ground. His COM
panion took to his heels. Childe, with
a hasty glance at the PROSTATE ruff
fianian, made his way hastily back
to his hotel little place run by a
scoundrely Levantine, but the best
that Childe had been able to afford.
He did not like the idea of spending
another night there, but no matter.
In the morning he would be gone. As
suring himself that his winnings were
intact, he entered, ascended the stairs
and flung himself down on his bed,
fully dressed.
An hour later he was aroused by
knocking at the door. He thrust his
head out cautiously. The landlord
and two gendarmes stood in the pas

you have any valuables you will hand
them over and receive an acknowl-

Monument to a Woman.

There has just been erected at
Bievres, France, a monument COM
memorative of the patriotic spirit and
services Of Mile. Dodu, telegraph OPP
orator, who, after receiving modest
recompense following the war OF 1870,
obtained some years later the military
medal and afterward the cross of the
Legion of Honor. Now A years hav-
ing elapsed since the war, it is denied
that she was entitled to these honors.
One of the alleged services was that to
save capture by the Germans she hid
the Morse telegraphic apparatus be-
tween the two mattresses of a bed
ridden neighbor, but it is denied that
she was ever taken before a council Of
war and condemned by a German tri-
bunal. 1t is even said that the whole
dramatic story was invented by M.
Villemessant, journalist, on the bor-
der of Lake Enghein, to which place
the young telegraphist had been sent
after the war. But Mile. Juliette Dodu,
thanks to the journalist, had sub
stantial recognition while living and
now her name is In large relief on a
monument.
