BUILDING Timber of Evergreen Class.

Timber used for building purposes is
most often of the evergreen" class.
In this class one finds white pine,
Carolina pine, Georgia pine, redwood,
red cedar, cypress, white cedar,
spruce, Norway spruce and hemlock.
Formerly spruce and white pine were
used almost exclusively for the frame
work of houses. These materials were
especially well adapted to stand the
strain, attendant on house construc-
ton; but they have now practically
disappeared from the market, and in
their place have been substituted Nor
way pine, southern pine and tamarack,
all of which are vastly inferior to
spruce and white pine.

virtue of tincture of iron as bever
age and to learn how many calorie:
of heat two photograph needles pro
