WOODS THAT ARE DURABLE
Above All, the Cypress Is Coming Into
General Use for Purposes of
Interior Decoration.

Wood, it's uses and, above all, it's
prices, are matters of moment to ev-
eryone who contemplates building, re-
modelling or adding to a 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 it has a 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 it's way into the
northern markets. This is not rs
strong a wood as some others, but it
has good lasting qualities and is equal,
ly good for exterior and interior fin.
ish. 1t is very satisfactory finished in
it's 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 it takes n very fine finish
| The red gum is finished in its natural
| tones or stained to initiate mahogany
] and sometimes brown walnut.

BUT HE BAGGED THE RABBIT
Hunter Almost Got Pedestrian at the
Time That He Secured His
Small Prey.

Hey there; excuse me, I didn't see
you until after 1 pulled the trigger,
but l guess you are not hurt much"
came an excited voice from some brush
at the side Of the track and at the
same time the hunter emerged. James
Jones, young man, to whom the apol-
ogy was extended, began an inventory
Of his person to see whether he was
shot, and he found that he was only
slightly wounded.
Jones was walking peacefully along
the switch track of the Pennsylvania
lines. lei Hartford City, leading
through a clump of brush. He was
startled when a rabbit jumped out in
front of him, fairly on his feet. At
the same time there was a report of
firearms-and bunny turned his toes
upward while Jones fell over back
ward.
~ had been following that rabbit for
some distance and l was bound that I
was going to get him-and I did," said
the hunter. But say, old man, I'm
sorry if you're hurt. l didn't see you
at all until after 1 pulled the trigger"

Manarove Forests in Bahamas.

Mangrove trees are to me the most
fascinating of all the vegetable
growths Of our strange planet. When
young, as we thus first anne upon
them, at the opening Of the creek,
there is something tender and idylic
about them, with the fresh, childlike,
laureline leaves and dangling rods of
emerald that were really the suckers
of their banianlike roots; but, as we
proceeded inland they grew into an
absence and bizarre maturity, like
nightmares striding out in every direc-
ton, with p%rancing, skeleton feet
planted in noisome, fostering swamps,
and stretching out horned, clawins
hands that seemed to take root as one
looked and threw out other roots OF
horror like n dream.-Richard LIE Cal
lienne. in Harper's Magazine.

WHERE MUSIC IS SUPREME
Elevated Above the Other Arts BE.
causs II 10 the Most Detached
Of Them All.

The strength of every art lies chiefly
In the completeness Of its detachment
from reality. Sculpture does not gain
by being realistic, picturesque, Of dec
o%rative; on the contrary it is at its
highest when it is ideal, detached and
superhuman. Painting does not gain
by being categorical, but is greatest
when it seeks something beyond the
outward, physical view. The novel or
the essay depends for its greatness
on its power of relating real persons,
things, and ideas to that greater and
deeper reality of which they are II
part. In this sense music stands SUI
preme above the other arts because it
is the most detached. The elements
of thought and feeling and action are,
in music, presented as elements. The
thought is not thought even in the alb
Stract, for it is not "about" anything {;
the feeling is not actual feeling and the
these properties, Or states, of the hui
man beings is here expressed in its es-
sence, detached from all actual mani
Hesitation. None but the highest type
of mind, none but a heart full of deep
human sympathy, none but Il vigorous,
militant spirit, could have conceived
and brought forth such compositions,
for example, as the third and ninth
symphonies of Beethoven; yet they are
nothing but sound-neither the intel
ligence, nor the feeling, % the action
is real.-Thomas w. Surette, in the
Atlantic.

Mistletoe,

In ancient times garlands and bou-
quets of the mistletoe were hung in
taverns and doorways to ward off evil,
and by many worn as an amulet at
tracing good influences. This aver
sion doubtless sprang from Il Christian
prejudice against a plant deemed sa-
cred by the pagans, q legend of the
monks holding that the mistletoe bough
was cursed ar5 never again permitted
to grow as an independent growth.
since it had been the tree from which
was fashioned the cross Of the cru
ciixion. In the West Of England mis-
tletoe is not allowed to enter into
church DECORATIONS. /.

Our nice weather took = sudden
change last Saturday night, and
Sunday morning the people were
surprised to find the ground cover
ed with about . foot of snow. A
strong wind was blowing which con.
tinued all day drifting the snow
quite badly. No attempt was
made to clean the walks, and con-
%nequentIy the church services were
suspended. In the northern part
of the state train service was sus-
pended, but a snow pillow cleared
the track from Sioux City to Nit
chell so the passenger trains made
their regular trips. Monday morn
ing was clear and still, but the tenn
perature was 20 below zero. The
public schools did not open until
noon, and by that time the walks
we're pretty =ell cleaned. It was
the worst storm of the season, and
the first snow storm of any conse.
quence during the winter.

"By All Meansl"

I often wonder what we should see
if we could lift the parietal bones Of
our young people and take a peep at
their thoughts, as the Devil on Two
Sticks took off the roofs Of the houses.
If thoughts were visible, we might
make some surprising discoveries.
Once in n while the student, who usu-
ally talks about anything but his best

aGcation That teaches Than Merely
to Avoid Wrana Cannot BE
Called Sufficient.

The average man is naturally pessi-
site. or inclined that way, and is
1t to spend more time and effort find
Fig fault with things rs they are, and
wing to tear them down, than to cor
Getting them, or substituting better
things.
This comes from, or is largely due
10. the prevailing habit of teaching
children and young people to avoid do
.ng wrong rather than teaching them
to do right. In this way they become
SO impressed with the immensely Of
wrong and the bitterness Of right that
they grow up with a feeling that wrong
las 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 II 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, no
more than love can become hate

Always With Good Companions.

We know a man who always car
ries in his pocket n book written by
Emerson, Marcus Aurelius, Carlyle or
some other giant intellect who in
times past scattered broadcast the
blossoms of his thought that future
generations might inhale their frag-

crish achievement, when men seem to
have little time for sober reflection, it
is good to be able to summon, at will,
such blessed companions to ones pres
