Wood and Furniture.

There are thousands of different
species Of wood in the world, but no
two square inches are alike. The same
wood may be plain-sawed or quarter
sawed, but there will be a world of
difference in the two. No one inch in
a board is like another. Nor will you
ever find two pieces Of wood of the
same texture.
Trees are developed very much as
q human being is developed. They
have vertical pipes or pores which
carry water and modicums of mineral
through their trunks and limbs, Just
as the blood feeds the human body.
There are no products in the world
whose history will compare with
those fashioned from wood. Civiliza.
tion itself has evolved along with the
evolution Of wood and its uses. Civili.
zation would have been impossible
without wood. Nations which have
succeeded most are those which have
followed the hardwood belts.
And all these facts must be weighed
when furniture and better furnished
American homes are considered.

"SOmetimes-as in southern Califor-

plenty Of building and work for casual

pilgrimages suggest a considerable
shifting of the industrial population.
But wherever wild country, and trout,
and possibly bear or deer, are within
easy motoring distance, nearly every
body falls into the habit of loading up
the old bus and starting out for any
thing from few days to few months.

FOLLOWED SEA FIFTY YEARS
Retired Commander Has Many Stories
Of Adventure Accumulated During
Half Century on Ocean.

Capt. J. w. Christie, formerly COM
mander of the White Star Dominion
liner Canada, has retired after sailing
the seas for 81 years.
Captain Christie first went to sea
when only ten years old and during
the next half century participated in
many interesting experiences.
In 1877, while still an apprentice, ne
served on the old sailor Seaforth, when
that vessel was employed to carry the
famous HudsOn's Horse from India to
the Dardanelles at the time Of the
RussO-Turkish war. The fleet Of trans
ports reached their destination, and
landing native troops to occupy
Cyprus, they found the Turks in
trenched close to the beach and were
forced to commence debarkation under
fire. The youthful apprentice was
given charge Of a spirited horse, and
mounted on its bare back swan his
steed toward the beach and the Turks
The animal, according to the captains
account of the affair, reached shore
well ahead Of all competitors and then,
despite the earnest efforts of its rider.
dashed headlOng toward the Turkish
lines. Pull as he might, nothing
would check the beasts ardor, until
one Of many bullets from the In
trenched enemy struck 1t and turned
1t again toward the sea. The appren-
tice regained his ship in safety, none
the worse for his unusual experience,
but with strong and lasting distaste
for international complications.

Furnishing the Home.

When you start furnishing any room
in the house, It is necessary to begin
with a definite idea of what effect Is
wanted, what type of furniture will be
used to determine general effect, TO
obtain a harmOnlzing whole.
You woEld not want TO copy your
friends or nelghbor's scheme because
you are seeking individuality for your
own home. SO just take time and think
up your own which would be better
suited to your taste.

Scott. however, has an attractive
business enterprise in view, which,
if accepted, would mean his passing
after having piled up the remakr-
able record Of participating in 1,138
consecutive games record he
started in 1916 with the Boston Red

best previous major league marx.
Scott may find the call of the

spring comes around, but in the
event he drops out, his shoes may
be filled by Joe Boley, 100000

number of major league clubs for

Boley has never been officially an
nounced by the Yankees or Jack
