WOODS THAT ARE DURABLE

General Use for Purposes OF
Interior Decoration.

Wood, its uses and, above all, its
prices, are matters of moment to ev-
eryone who contemplates building, re-
modelling or adding to house.
There are some southern pines that
are comparatively reasonable and
which give good results. Houses built
of them in Virginia and the Carolinas
attest to their durability. 1t is suit
able for interior finish, as 1t has va
riety Of grains and takes on a good
finish, whether In soft stain or hard
enamel paint.
Cypress is being used for many pur-
poses. The great swamps of the South
are yielding up their forests and the
lumber is finding its way into the
northern markets, This is not as
strong a wood as some others, but 1t
has good lasting qualities and Is equal
" good for exterior and interior fin
lsh. It Is very satisfactory finished in
Its natural color.
A wood that is finding much favor
for interior finish is the red gum, also
from the South. 1t may be had highly
figured or plain, Quarter-sawed or plain
sawed, and 1t takes very fine finish.
The red gum is finished in its natural
tones or stained to initiate mahogany

Strap Hangers In Tokyo.

After one has ridden for few weeks
on Tokyo trans he realizes that more
than 100000 people, living within
radius Of three miles of the imperial
palace, require many trans to carry
them. Seats are always at a premium.
Even the New York subway is not as
continually crowded. The trans are
fast, well handled and plenteous, but
moving stairway or sidewalk covering
all the tram lines in the city would
scarcely fill the bill.
There are five or six stations from
which trains depart for different parts
of the empire, but these stations are
only Joined by city trans, so that if
one wants to go from Tokyo station,
the terminus Of the Shimonoseki line
to Europe, to Ueno station, whence
trains depart for Nikko, Karuizawa,
Sendai and Hokkaido, he must take a
riksha, a taxicab or street car or else

miles in more than an hour to reach a
station that is only a mile and half
away as the crow fiies.-Maynard

Barley is strangely neglected by the

less gluten than wheat. it might well
take the place Of the potato on our ia
bles and this with benefit to purse and
health.

times its original size when cooked.
and its uses are wonderfully varied.
''As a breakfast dish with sugar and
cream it is rich and satisfying; for
dinner, as garnish for meat or with
rich meat gravy, it makes a savory
entree; at tea time cold steamed barley

then served with maple strip, is deli

1t makes as wholesome desserts as rice.
Indeed, there is no way In which rice
may be prepared in which barley can
not be cooked with just as good re-

cook properly. but now we have the
cereal cooker and the fireless cooker
and with them the opportunity to have

TEACH CHILDREN RIGHT WAY
Education That Teaches Them Merely
% Avoid Wrong Cannot es
Called Sufficient

The average man Is naturally pessi-
mistic, or inclined that way, and is
apt to spend more time and effort find
ing fault with things as they are, and
trying to tear them down, than to cor
recting them, or substituting better
things.
This comes from. or Is largely due
to, the prevailing habit Of teaching
children and young people to avoid do
ing wrong rather than teaching them
to do right. In this way they become
so impressed with the immensely OF
wrong and the littleness of right that
they grow up with feeling that wrong
has gotten the better Of right.
The natural conclusion must then be
that we are going to the everlasting
bow-wows, and the very best we can
do is to put the brakes on and go as
slowly as possible.
And yet every one Of us ought to
know, and should realize, that the way
to get rid of wrong is to substitute
right, for wrong disappears before
right as darkness before light or cold
before heat.
Where wrong Is, right Is not; and
where right is, wrong cannot come.
Right can never become wrong, nc
more thin love can become hate

Horses In the Time Of Homer.

The horses used In Homer's time
were war horses. The warriors were
drawn In chariots. The art Of riding
was known, but it Is alluded to as
something unusual. Ulysses at the
time of his shipwreck "bestrode a
plank, like horseman on big steed.' ~
There are reasons for believing that
the practice of riding was much later
than that Of driving, and the myth of
the centaur, where, according to Shake
speare, man is incorpsed and demina-
tured with the beast" probably origi-
mated at an early period when the ap-
pearance Of man on horseback was a
novel sight.
