The San Domingo mahogany Is all scrub trees and the Maine pine is scrub pine. Tbe pine trees which made the fame of Maine were probably all of them from 300 to 400 years In obtaining their growth. This is the reason, or one reason, why old furniture, made of the woods available h century ago are so much In demand, and why It' commands Its high prices.

One result of this belief Is the extreme care with which each ot the great military powers of the continent watches the strength and distribution of the cavalry of its neighbors. At the present moment some disquietude exists In the Triple Alliance, because the cavalry of the Double Alliance has become superior, numerically, to their own. In the event of war, France could place In the field 327 squadrons and Russia 11; or the two allies together 1,038 squadrons, while the Triple Alliance could only musteer 746 squadrons, or 292 squadrons less than the Double V- -- V examined this machine.
