Mahogany Leads A ;.w"g Woods.
Among cabinetmakers and users or
furniture, mahogany is easily the most
favored wood. It has beauty of sur
face. It Is easily carved and It Is not
BUbJeCl to changes In fashion. Also II
is adaptable to any article of hum
lure.
Tradition has it that mahogany's dis
covery was quite accidental. A enr-
penter in sir Waiter Raleigh's shop
in 1090 saw some of the wood, experi
mented with it. ami convinced of If'
value, made use of it. Mahogany is
found extensively In Africa, but the
greater quantity used in the I'ulted
Stales comes from Cuba, Mexico and
Central America.

duced In 1730, when the exchange was
still known as "New Jonathan's," It
Imjh been suggested that "bear" Is a
reference to the selling of the bear's
skin before killing the bear, while a
"luill" Is supposed to be a speculator
who buy stock for forward delivery
In the hope that the price will rise so
tjiiit he can sell out at a profit without
taking up and paying for the stock.
Contangoes, which have been reintro
duced, are the percentage paid by the
buyer of stock for postponement of
transfer day. the term being derived
from the Spanish word "clntengo,"
meaning "1 check."
Iceland Popples.
The wonder of tourists Mt Lake

of Iceland popples. These popples,

acres at Luke Louise and large are, is
at Banff. Perennials, they live all
winter and blossom continually from
early In May until iietohcr. The
faster one plucks them, to quote an
old Irish song, the faster they grow
At Banff they are the first green
(hinge, to show above the sell, and the
gardener at the Banff Springs hotel
has often found a gesjgaj wild deer
feeding upon the early shoots. The
deer cut the tlrst growth, but the sec
snd growth Is t00 bitter for them
HeMdes, by that time other green
sprouts have appeared, and the
orange, yellow and white popples are
left unmolested, to bloom ull through
the summer and well Into the fall.

THE CREATION OF MAN
"fOW when the Manltou had created
' the birds and the beasts and the
fishes, nnd had then created the grizzly
to rule over them, he returned to
heaven content with his handiwork.
He left behind him on the earth a
happy kingdom, where the animals
lived In peace together and where the
grizzly, who was their king, was kind
and Just and fair to weak and strong
alike.
As time went on there finally came
a daughter to cheer the life of the
Manltou In heaven ; and as she grew
to womanhood she was fair to look
upon; as beautiful as the dawn and
as stately as the oak. The blue sky
gave the color to her eyes, the placid
lakes put their expression there; and
golden sunbeams gave their beauty to
her hair. The south wind warmed
her blood and made It red ; the snows
gave off their glow to tinge her skin.
The rinding waters, soft and low,
gave up their music In a voice for her.
And she was fair to look upon, even
us the blossoms In her hair.
The Manltou, who loved her much,
gave her the freedom of the heavens
and the earth to go and come as she
pleased, excepting only the one small
spot where the grizzly was given
power to reign. Here she must not
go, for there were evil spirits and
strong hands to stay her way. And
there the power of the Manltou did
not avail, for It was the home of the
grizzly who was ruler.
But one day, walking all alone, the
maiden forgot the warning of her fa
ther and wandered Into this forbidden
land where lived the grizzly, and
where flowers bloomed and all was
beautiful and bright. As she wan
dered about the forest the beasts saw
her beauty nnd carried word of her
coming to the grizzly. And the grizzly
came down the trail and looked upon
her ami desired her. He was so Im
pressed with her beauty that he for
got the Manltou and his power, and
seeing the maiden, carried her off
against her will to Ids home. And
there he kept her hid away for many
moons and finally he married her, al
though it was against her will, and
for long years he held her In captivity
and the Manltou knew not where she
had gone or why.
Finally a child was horn to the grli
ily and the daughter of Manltou. And
this child, when he had grown, heard
from his mother's Hps the story of the
grizzly's cruelty. He learned, too, how
the grizzly had run away with the
daughter of Manltou and had stolen
her from her home and kept her in
captivity; and he was very angry, and
prayed night and day to the Manltou.
who yvas his grandfather, asking that
he might be given the Strength and
the wisdom to right the yvrong.
So the Manltou heurd his plea and
decided that the grizzly must he pun
Ished ; and so the Manitou decreed
that the grizzly henceforth should
walk on four feet like the beasts lie
had governed, And on his body hair
was made to grow, and his language
became the grunt and the scpjenl ; and
he was made to dig In the ground to
find his food and his eyes were made
to watch his feet and no longer could
he look toward heuven and into the
fine of (he Manltou, who Is good al
ways.
In his place the Manitou named the
Ited Man the son of the (Ireut Spo
il's daughter and the grizzly- to rule
so long as he bore himself as a niiin
From tils mother he Inherited his form
and beauty and wisdom, and from hit
father the strength and courage and
power and so he came to rule ove
the land which the Manitou hud ere
uted.
So was the creation of the Chosen
People who are the tribesmen, and
who lived for ages under the sunshint
of heaven and counseled with Manitou
and ruled long and well until In latei
years evil spirits came from the sen
and fom;ht and wrestled with tt

power and their strength. Then d!,l
