A Cat that Saved the Baby.

circumstance happened in my own
nelghborhood few years ago, says MIR.
Palmer, the truth of which | cannot
doubt, as it was related to me by u per-
son who was spectator of the occur
renee. The mistress of the house was
sitting by the fire, when the cat came
to her and looking up in her face mewed
most piteously.
AT first, being engaged, she paid no
attention to it; but the cat was not 10
be discouraged by this neglect. She
continued her cries, going towards the
door and then returning to the lady in
the greatest agitation. These actions
were so often repeated, and in such an
expressive manner, that she felt curious
to know the cause of such uneasiness,
though she was reluctant to leave her
seat till the cat, extending her claws,
pulled her by the apron. She could no
longer resist the importantly of the dis
tressed animal. She rose ard followed
her conductor into a small wasl-house
where some tubs, partly filled with
water, were standing, into one of which
child nearly two years old had fallen,
and was in danger of drowning.
This intelligent cat saved the child's
life, and in this instance showed a de
gree of attachment superior to that
commonly observed in her kind. Yet
on the removal of the family some time
afterwards, she could not be retained in
their new habitation; but, in sfite ntf
every precaution, returned to her former
abode

Cultivation of Forest Trees.

The German Government has given
fresh proof of its sagacity by creating in
Alsace and Lorraine sixty-three
" forest administrators" each of whom
is to superintend $4,000 acres of land,
prevent useless destruction of timber,
and encourage the planting OF trees.
This is a Napoleonlc idea. 1t is a meas.
ure calculated to diminish that want of
forests that affiicts Europe far more than
it does America. The difference is. how
ever, that we need them to increase our
rainfall we have lumber enough to last
us for centuries, while the pressing need
across the ocean is for wood itself. Oak
is especially in demand. France pro
duces every year | ,320,000,00O gallons of
wine, and uses 100000 cubic feet Of
oak in making casks. The greater part
OF this is imported at a cost Of $4,000, 900.
Austria supplies much of it, but the
drain upon her resources has been SO
heavy that she has now only 100000
acres of choice woodland. The Romans
called Mount Htna, in Sicily, nsmoroSa
(wooded), because its sides We're covered
with a quarter Of a million acres Of trees.
Now the old forest sites are bare rocks.
Spain and Greece are substantially wood
less Holland, Belgium, North Germany
and England are importers Of lumber.
Norway and Sweden, which have fur
nished almost every European country
with cargo after cargo of timber, have
been obliged to limit the destruction Of
forests by law. Unless the present enor-
nous consumption OF wood is checked
by research and invention, Il century or
two will see forest farms, where trees are
grown and harvested like grain. This
is actually done in a certain township
IN New England to day. man owns
,ome valuable woodland and each year
cuts down twentieth of his trees, sells
them, and prepares the ground for new
crop. 1t has been found that twenty
years growth makes them marketable,
and their owner is now cutting off his
timber for the second time. And yet
our tariff laws offer premium of copper
cent. to encourage the cutting down of
our remaining forests.

Preparing Rubber for Market.

Since the surveys of the Madeira
rapids have been finished considerable
number of Bolivians from Moios and
Trinidad have settled along their line,
to tap the rubber trees which are found
in great abundance on both sides of the
river. The following illustration will
give an idea of the process used there
in preparing the gum for market. The
sap or milk OF the tree has been received
in an inverted turtle shell. An earlhen
jar, with hole in the bottom, sits over
a palm-nut fire, the smoke ascending
through the jar. A Bolivian Indian sits
near he dips a paddle into the milk,
and holds it over the smoke until the
gum is hardened, then dips it again,
and again hardens it over the jar. This
process is continued until the end Of
the paddle is covered to the proper com
mercial thickness. The gum is then
cut Oft, and is ready for market. A
good days work is six pounds. The
rubber product of the Amazon Valley is
increasing with great rapidIty. That
for 1870 was correctly estimated at
$40 net tons, and when once the lands
of Bolivia are penetrated, this figure
will be very largely increased. In
Northern Bolivia, especially upon the
Manu-tata river and the western
branches Of the Benz, are vast groves OF
rubber trees, as yet untouched. They
border lands of exceeding fertility and
health, and are destined ere long to at
tract much attention.-Harper'S Mag0-

TIE North Carolina AssaSSins.

The company of banditti in Robson
county, North Carolina, of whose eX-
ploits so much has appeared in print,
has been in existence nine years, dating
from Confederate times, and is now led
white, mulatto, and Tuscarora Indian
blood. The partners of his adventures
are his brothers, Steve and Tom, and
his brother-n-law Boss, and Andrew
Strong; but he doubtless has secret
partners. To the accounts of these ban
dts there is now charged sixteen muir
ders and over three hundred robberies,
all committed without injury or punish
ment to the gang. The scene of their
crimes is exclusively Robson county,
where they were all born, and which
contains population of about $4,000
white inhabitants, being mainly Of such
descent. All attempts CT citizens and
militia to rout the band have met with
successful resistance, and the only hope
now seems to be the intervention of
United States troops. The leader, Low
cry, has many rewards hanging over his
head, amounting in all to $4,000, but
his excursions up and down the country
are as bold as ever. His mulatto wife
and three children reside at Lumberton,
the county seat of the overawed region.
The bandits are armed with repeating
rifles and pistols Of the finest workman
ship, and have sworn they will never be
taken alive. The officers of the Ruth
ertord railroad, which runs through
Robson county, are in constant dread
Of trains being thrown off or the track
being torn up, and report says nothing
has saved them except Lowery's super
stitious dread of disturbing the United
States mails

A Case of Suspended Animation.

On February %, John D. Blanchard,
prominent business man of Palmer,

preparations were making to convey
the body from the house, when the life
like appearance of the face was remark
ed, and doubt expressed as to the body
being dead. 1t was also discovered that
the blood was limpid in his veins, and
there were warm spots under his arms
and on his back. The idea OF burial
was given up, and galvanic battery ap.

restoring life. The doctors give 1T as
their opinion that he is dead, yet they
advise that interment be delayed until
signs of decomposition are visible.

follows the finger as it is pressed along

An Infallible Remedy for Badness.

By the burning of the house of Mr..
William Spinney at Argyle, n. S., last
week, five children, the youngest of
whom was no more than 10 years old,
were burned to death. The following
sad particulars are given by Coroner
Kirby in the Yarmouth Herald: Mr..
Spinney and his wife went to a neigh
boris house on that fatal evening, being
absent from to o'clock. The chill
dren all slept in one room up stairs, in
two beds, and Mr.. Spinney's mother, who
was old and insane, in Il room below.
When the fire was discovered it had
made considerable Roadway. Mr.. Spin
ney was the first that arrived, the house
being then all ablaze. lie carried a
heavy ladder there, and, having placed
it at the upper window, broke that in,
and made several attempts to enter the
room and rescue the children but in
vain, for the smoke was SO sitting, and
the flames SO fierce that he failed to
effect an entrance. He thought he
heard two of the children cry out. The
old woman was found in her bed asleep,
and dragged out by some of the men
there and saved. Thus, in one hour
were those poor people deprived of all
that they held Decentralization, pro
visions, clothes, household effects, and
last, but not least, their poor five chill
dren so suddenly destroyed in such
fearful manner.

Seasoning Wood.

A writer in an English journal in,
forms US that small piece of non
resinous wood can be seasoned perfectly
by boiling four or five hours-the pro,
cess taking the sap out OF the wood,
which shrinks nearly one-tenth in the
operation. The same writer states that
trees 1elled in full leaf in in June or
July, and allowed to lie until every leaf
has fallen, will then be nearly dry, as
the leaves will not drop off themselves
until they have drawn up and exhaust.
ed nearly all the sap of the tree. The
time required is from month to six
weeks, according to the dryness or
wetness of the weather. The floor of a
mill laid with poplar so treated and cut
up, and put in place in less than a
month after the leaves fell, has never
shown the slightest shrinkage.
