BIG DEMAND FOR MAHOGANY
Name Commercially Is Applied to
More Than Fifty Woods-Sub-
stitutes are Numerous.

The name mahogany is applied
commercially to more than so different
woods, says Popular Science Monthly.
Perhaps half the lumber now sold un-
der that name is not true mahogany,
for the demand greatly exceeds the
supply.
The tree is only native to the limited
area between southern Florida and
northern South America. Nowhere else
does it really flourish. But the public
will have mahogany. Women want 1t
for furniture, business men prefer it
for Office fixtures, and teak and ma
hogany are rivals in the affections OF
shipbuilders. Therefore substitutes
flourish.
1t is not surprising that the real
wood is so expensive when it is learned
that it takes from one hundred to
one hundred and fifty years for a ma
hogany tree to reach merchantable
size.
Most of the substitutes bear little
more than general resemblance to
the genuine wood, but skillful finishing
makes them very much alike. Experts
can usually distinguish between them
by the aid of an ordinary pocket lens.
The efforts of the superficial, however.
to Judge the wood by its appearance.
weight, grain and color often lead
them astray.

Little Daughter had been asked to

"It's wheatless day, dear"
"But I don't like war bread. It's so
dark and different. And the rules
aren't for children, are they?"
"No, but you know we were asked
to send one million bushels of wheat

in it whatever. But, of course, if you
don't feel you can help in this way,
YOU may buy a lighter loaf"
little Daughter started off. In a
few moments she returned. Mother
unwrapped the package. There was
the small, dark loaf, indeed different,
but really most palatable and nour-

The MAKING OF
A FAMOUS
MEDICINE
How Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound
Is Prepared For
Woman's Use.

A visit to the laboratory where this
successful remedy is made impresses
even the casual looker-on with the reli.
ability, accuracy, skill and cleanliness
which attends the making of this great
medicine for woman's ills.
Over $50, 900 pounds of various herbs
are used annually and ali have to be
gathered at the season of the year when
their natural juices and medicinal sub
stances are at their best.
The most successful solvents are used
to extract the medicinal properties from
these herbs.
Every utensil and tank that comes in
contact with the medicine is sterilized
and as final precaution in cleanliness
the medicine is pasteurized and sealed
in sterile bottles.
1t is the wonderful combination Of
roots and herbs, together with the
skill and care used in its preparation
which has made this famous medicine
So successful in the treatment of
female ills.
The letters from women who have
been restored to health by the use of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound which we are continually pub
fishing attest to its virtue.

Visible-and there they settled down
to live. They had hoped to lose them
selves among the other prisoners, and
in this they were successful, for none
of their miserable neighbors were In
any condition to notice them, and
there was nothing sufficiently con-
spicuous about two tattered blacks
and their hunchbacked daughter to
draw attention from the soldiers.
Asensio foraged zealously, and at
first he managed somehow to secure
enough food for his little family. One
day the soldiers seized him and put
him to work on the Notifications along
with a gang of other men who APP
peared strong enough to stand hard
labor. AsensiO was not paid for this,
but he was allowed one meal a day,
and he succeeded in bringing home
each night share of his allotment

ment will sustain life. Rosa and her

of hunger, but now they plumbed new

days when Asensio and his fellow con-
scripts received nothing at all. After
time Evangelina began making bas-
kets and weaving palm-leaf hats, which
she sold at six cents each. She taught
Rosa the craft, and they worked from
dawn until dark, striving with nimble,
tireless fingers to supplement Asensio's
ratiOnS and postpone starvation. But
1T was hopeless task. Other nimble
fingers worked as tirelessly as theirs
and the demand for hats was limited
Their hut overlooked the road to
San Severino, that Via Dolorosa on
which condemned prisoners were
marched out to execution, and in time
the women learned to recognize the
peculiar blaring notes of a certain cor
net, which signified that another "Cu-
ban cock was about to crow" When
in the damp of dewy mornings they
heard that bugle they ceased their
weaving long enough to cross them
selves and whisper prayer for the
souls of those who were on their way
to die. But this was the only respite
they allowed themselves.
Rosa meditated much upon the con-
trast between her present and her for
mer condition. Matanzas was the CITY
of her birth, and time was when she
had trod its streets in arrogance and
pride, when she had possessed friends
by the score among it's residents. But
of all these there was not one to whom
she dared appeal in this, her hour of
need. But even had she felt assured
of meeting sympathy, her pride was
pure Castilian, and it would never
down. She, Varona, whose name was
one to conjure with, whose lineage was
of the highesti She to beg? The
thing was quite impossible. One crumb,
so taken, would have choked her.
Rosa preferred to suffer proudly and
await the hour when hunger or disease
would at last blot out her memories
of happy days and end this nightmare
misery.
Then, too, she dreaded any risk of
discovery by Mario de Castano, who
was a hard, vindictive man. His part
ing words had shown her that he
would never forgive the slight she had

Indians Best Walkers.

When it comes TO feet civilized man
dog eating Igorrote or the pigeon toed
American Indian, says Prof. l.. j. Rich
Rrdson in bulletin entitled 1.-The Sol
der on Foot" and issued by the Uni
versity of California.
Becoming patron of the long
abused pigeon toed man Professor Rich
ardson says that the normal gait of
man is exemplified by the American
Indian, who walks with his feet set par
allel or even with the toes turned
slightly inward. In this way all the
toes function and the lifting and pro-
pelling power of the foot is at its maxi
mum, he says.
While deploring the army regula-
tons requiring a soldier to stand with
his toes turned out at an angle of
about As degrees, because of the ten
dency to cause aversion of the foot
and weakness of the posterior arch,
Professor Richardson is sufficiently OPP
timistic for civilized man to conclude
CURED bad habits he can reform and
"learn to walk" with fair results.
Walking in tight shoes generation
after generation Is the cause of nearly
all the foot troubles of civilized man,
the professor says. This condition. he
says, has left but single strong toe
on either foot, the others being in some
measure atrophied.
Frequent washing, trimming the toe
nails and an avoidance of change from
high to low heeled shoes are suggested
as a means of obviating much foot
trouble

~ afraid. When for the first time she
saw him riding at the head of his cut
Threats she was like to swoon in her
tracks, and for whole day thereafter
she covered in the hut, trembling at
every sound.
In these dark hours she recalled the
stories of the old Varona treasure and
Esteban's interesting theory of its
whereabouts, but she could not bring
herself to put much faith in either OF
course 1t was barely possible that there
was indeed treasure, and even that
Esteban's surmise had been correct
But 1T was little more than remote
possibility. Distance lends rosy
color to reality to our most absurd
imaginings. but, like the haze that tints
a far-off landscape, it dissolves upon
approach. Now that Rosa was here, in
sight of the ruined quinta itself, her
hopes and half-beliefs faded.
More than once she was tempted to
confide in Evangelina and Asensio, but
she thought better of It, Although she
put implicit faith in Evangelinas dis
erection, she knew that Asensio was not
the sort of fellow to be trusted with
secret of great magnitude-he was
boastful, laxative, excitable; he was
just the sort to bring destruction upon
all Of them. Rosa had sufficient intel
ligence to realize that even if she found
her fathers riches they would only
constitute another and greater men
ace to the lives of all of them. Never
theleSS, she wished to set her mind at
rest once for all. Taking Evangelina
with ner, she climbed La Cumbre one
day in search of roots and vegetables.
1t turned out to be a sad experience
for both women. The negress wept
noisily at the destruction wrought by
Pancho Cueto, and Rosa was overcome
by painful memories. Little that was
familiar remained; evidence of Cue
to's all-devouring greed spoke from the
sprouting burrows his men had dug,
from the naked trees they had felled
and piled in orderly heaps, from the
stones and mortar of the house itself.
The well remained, although it had
been planked over, but it was partially
filled up with rubbish, as Rosa discov-
cred when she peered into it. Only
tiny pool of scum was in the bottom.
After a long scrutiny the girl arose,
convinced at last of her brothers delu-
sion, and vaguely ashamed of her own
credulity. No, if ever there had been
a treasure, it was hidden elsewhere;
all of value that this well contained for
Rosa was her memory of a happiness
departed. OF such memories, the well,
the whole place, was brimful. Here.
as child, she had romped with Este
ban. Here, as a girl, she had dreamed
her first dreams, and here O'Reilly. her
smiling knight, had found her. Yonder
was the very spot where he had held
her in his arms and begged her to
await the day of his return. Well, she
had waited.
But was that Rosa Varona who had
promised so freely and so confidently
this pitiful Rosa whose bones pro-
truded through her rags? 1t could not
be. Happiness, contentment, hope
these were fictions; only misery, de-
spair, and pain were real. But 1t had
been a glorious dream, at any rate-a
dream which Rosa vowed to cherish al
ways.

DEVIL WoRsHIPING IN HAITI
Here the Savage Instincts of the
Blacks Have Been Fed and Fos-
tered for Centuries.

Aside from warlike considerations,
people have become so accustomed to
being safe that it is something of 9
shock to learn that only a few hun
dred miles from the centers of Amer
lean culture there is an almost savage
country. The islands of the West In
dies are, as rule, the abodes of en-
lightenment where any one, man or
woman, may travel without fear of
molestation. But such is not the
case in Haiti,' says A. Hyatt Verrill in
"The Book of the West Indies" Here
age instincts of the blacks have been
fed and fostered for centuries. From
untamed jungles they were brought in
reeking, pest-ridden slave ships to
serve beneath the lash. Debased, I'M
taught, they rose, and in a resistless
wave of black swept the dominating
whites from the land. Then were
loosened all the pent-up hatred, the
undying lust for revenge, the sup
pressed savagery of the African races,
anu SlduSHleT1 TdplHS, luCeuuldIlSLl,
torture and debauchery stalked naked
through the stricken land"
Haiti has improved considerably
since then, but there is yet much room
for Improvement. 1.-THE only wonder
is that any vestige of civilization re-
mains, that there is the semblance of
rule, of industry, of order in the re.
public" Among the barbarisms now
prevalent in Haiti are voodooism and
obeah, the former a kind of devil
worship, and the latter form of
witchcraft. ''In its most fanatical
form voodooism requires human sacri-
fees, which are accompanied by caff-
nibalistic feasts and unspeakable or
gies. Obeah on the other
hand, is merely witchcraft with no re-
ligious significance whatever, and in
its most malignant form consists of
poisoning with devilish ingenuity, and
in its commonest and least virulent
form amounts merely to a lot of nom
sense, hocus-pocus and mummery."
