Concerning Ebony

The deep black heartwood, which Is
most highly priced in number Of
trees OF the ebony family, Is men
toned in the Bible In Ezekiel, p :l5,
in connection with ivory, probably on
account Of their value and Of their
contrasting colors. Ebony was once
supposed to grow in the ground with
out root or leaves" and to II were
ascribed many miraculous powers. The
chief source Of the ebony wood Is the
island Of Ceylon, where huge logs Of
the pure heartwood are cut and hauled
TO the coast. For interior decorations
and furniture ebony has been super
seeded by rosewood and mahogany, but
for cabinet work II Is still widely EN-
ployed, being exported from MNdaqas.

II nothing else served, man would

the glow that he feels Is something

finer creature because he has done
something useful. Let him be schoOled
in useful labor and this delight In be-

thousands Of years before Solom0n's

the land OF Bhela, had 1900 ministers
and ruled over 90 little kings. IN adj
dItlon he had 800 wives Of noble line
age, 800 wives endowed with great
riches, another 800 perfectly beautl-
ful wives. This inventory is given In
one OF three Tlbetan Mysteries"

When people decry the fashion Of

back to advertisements In Boston

The advertisement also announces
"A constant supply OF perfumery, gen

This Time, Good Yarn
Is Told on Scofsn1on

One good old yarn that is exhumed
from time to time, or rather reincar-
mated, since 1t appears In slightly
different form, concerns the Scottish
land law known as tenure by feu,
which consists in the tenant perform
ing certain services, or making certain
payments failure In which may result
In forfeiture of the tenancy.
Some time back 1t was decided to
abolish feus on the Sutherland es-
tates substituting therefor generous
form Of lease which would have the
effect of making the crofter the own
or, In all but name, Of the land he
titled.
To his grace's surprise, however, the
first Highland farmer to whom the
new terms were explained resOlutely
declined to entertain them.
But, consider" said the agent "the
rent you will be called upon to pay is
merely nominal, and we are giving
you lease of 900 years"

ma, time soon rims away" he re-
torted.
