Daring a recent visit to Lincoln coun-
ty, we saw in the northeastern part of
Alma, and i'll that portion of Whlteheld
adjoining it, quite extensive tracts Of
splendid pine woods, the trees standing
very thick, and running up straight and
tall. There were several lots, belonging
to different parties, of from fifteen to
twenty-five acres in extent, and from
some OF these considerable quantities Of
timber are now being cut. Years ago
the land upon which this pine growth
is now standing was covered with a
growth of white and red oak, which was
cut Off for slaves. These were manu-.
factured, sold in Wiscasset, shipped to
the West Indies, and brought back
filed with molasses. Nearly all the
large oaks along the coast were used for
this purpose, and the ground is now
producing a growth of pines. Mr.. Dar
vld G. Pottle, of Alma, informs us that
fifty years ago his father, while gather
ing oak timbers for slaves, drove his
oxen and sled over the tops of small
pines that are now forty, fifty and sixty
feet high. and that will scale from four
hundred to one thousand feet of lum-
Der. Some Of these trees are now two
feet in diameter at the ground, the
average being eighteen inches. The
profits of these trees have been as good
as money at ten per cent. interest, and
yet our farmers fail to grow forest or
timber trees, thinking they and their
childrenwill not get paid for the trouble.
Behold these facts, and let some of your
waste land grow up to trees for your
children's benefit and profit, if not for
your own.-Mane Farmer.

Artificial Milk In Paris.

When natural milk became scarce IN
Paris, Dubruntaut proposed an artificial
milk, made by dissolving one and one
half ounces of sugar in a quart of water,
adding an ounce OF dry albumen (iIom
white of egg and fifteen to thirty grains
of soda crystals, and then emulsionizing
therein from one and one.half to two
ounces of olive oil. As the war pro-
gressed, gelatin was substituted for the
albumen, and then slaughter-house fats
purified by melting at 1902, and then
projecting into them small quantities of
water-for the olive oil. One firm made
in this latter way $4,000 gallons OF
milk daily for Paris consumption.

Smoking not Offensive.

A correspondent of Georgia paper
tells this story: One night, passing
from Wilmington to Florence, Alabama,
our car was filled with gentlemen, and
there was only one lady present. After
we had proceeded some way, it was pro
posed to have a smoke, but one Of the
passengers pointed to a card on which
there was "No Smoking ALLOW ed" So
when the conductor came through the
car he was asked if he would allow US
to smoke. He pointed to the lady and
replied, "if she has no objection you
may do So" went to the lady and,
bowing, asked if it would be offensive
to her. She, lady-lille, answered, ''Not
a ali, my dear sir, | am so lonesome il
| had :. cigar | would smoke myself" "
She was at once supplied, and we were
a set of happy fellows.

A Kiss at the Door.

We were standing in the doorway.
MY little wi'c aud !,
The golden sun upon her
Fell down So silently;
A s-aIl white hand upon my arm.
What could ask for more
Than the kindly glance Of loving eyes,
As she kissed me at the door?
know she loves with all her heart
The on" who stands beside;
And the ye rs have been 50 joyous
Stree fir-t called her bride.
We've bad So much of harlhuess
Since we met IN years before;
But the happicst time Of a was
When She kissed me at the door.
Who cares for wealth Of land or gold,
For fame or matchlcss power?
II does not give the happneS'
OF JUS one little hour
With one who loves me a. her life
She SAWS she loves me more
And | thought she did this morning
When she kissed me ut the door.
Attimcs it seems rs all the world,
With all its wealth nt gold,
T. very small and poor indeed
Compared with what hold;
When the clouds hang grim and dark,
only think the more
OF one who wai's tn" coming step.
70 ki-S me at the dcor.
IF she lives till age shall scatter
Its frost uuon her head,
T know shc'il love me just the same
A. the morning we were wed;
But if the ar gels call her.
And she goes TO heaven before.
| shall know her when meet her,
For she'll kiss me at the door.

that of Liverpool, and that a contingency
may arise when every ching which can ca '

their minds to accept the great fact that a
bulk grain trade down the Mississippi river
must needs be done, and in their desire to
serve the interests Of their patrons, they
should afford them all the facilities for
carrying grain in bulk in their powe 1t
seems as though the hull Of every steamer

10000 bushels could thus be taken by most
