signed to duty at the Montreal court
house. The new office was consid

That Teethina, the famous baby
laxative and stomach corrective, is

Figures Produced by ouarter.sawlno.

In some common woods. notably the
oaks, figure is produced by quarter
saving, says the American Forestry
Magazine. In practically all woods
there are ribbons Of tissue which run
at right angles to the axis of the tree
like spokes In a wheel. These are the
rays. often called medullary, or pith
rays, because some of them appear as
extensions of the plsh into the wood.
In all the conifers and most hard
woods these rays are too fine to show
distinctly. In others, as In maple,
cherry and mahogany, they are dis
tinct, but not conspicuous.
