The PROGRESS oF'THE TIMBER GLuTToNY.-
Mr. James Little of Montreal, foresees that
the people of the United States will give their
pine, hemlock, and spruce lands east of the
Rocky Mountains such clean shave within
the next ten years that there will be nothing
eft worth mentioning. These kinds of lum-
her, he says, are chiefly found in Maine, New
York, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and on the
mead waters of the Mississippi in Minnesota
aud Wisconsin. Names supply of pine is
nearly gone, and her people are cutting
spruce as small as six inches. Pennsylvania
is annually cutting off 500 600 900 feet, Chief
Iy OF pine and hemlock, which will use up the
whole in less than five years, and northern
New York, which produces 300, 900 600 feet
annually, is going to be appropriated by the
State as a reservoir and public park. The de-
struction of trees in Minnesota and Wisconsin
is rapidly Increasing. The consumption oil
these kinds of timber in Michigan, state
that is supposed to have an inexhaustible
supply, reached last year, 1910 900 900 feet,
the Chicago fire making tremendous draft
upon the forests, and this years product Is
2,O0e 900 900. Our alarmist figures that
he next dozen years will require seventy
Thousand million feet of timber, which would
cover fourteen million acres, whereas we have
Dnly seven million acres uncut. Canada is
already largely drawn upon, but, says the
writer, were she to supply the immediate
wants of the United States, every stick OF her
pine east of the rocky mountains would be
used up in three years. The unequal duty
imposed by the United States government,
by which the cheaper kinds of timber from
Canada are shut out of the market, is severe
ly criticised. The statements Of this writer
are somewhat alarming, and his structures on
duty very proper, but what can we do? We
must have the tim Der, and all that is left US
is to 90 ahead and cut it, and when it is gone
the good Lord will hunt US up something
better, as He did when we had harpooned all
The whales, and the oil was getting low IN
our lamps.

THE SHEPHERD Docs OF CALIFORNIA
Rev. Clement E. Babb tells the youthful
readers of the Herald and Presbyter what
an old shepherd told him about the shep-
herd dogs of Southern California.
He says you may 60 over the plains
and hills there for miles, and see thousands
of sheep, but not man to watch them.
Around each flock, or band of say thou
sand sheep, are half a dozen dogs, of
! ocular breed dogs whose pro- enitors
we've imported from the sheep-pastures OF

Swiss INDUsrRY-A recent number of
the Journal Official della Repubzique
Francaise contains a very thorough review
of Swiss manufactures, especially as dis
played at the Vienna Exposition. The
author (Mr. f. Chaulnes) enumerates
some of the difficulties against which the
Swiss are obliged to contend. The prn-
cipal one is, of course, the great extent Of
arid mountain land. On this point he
says: " The soil of Switzerland, fit for
cultivation, constitutes not more than fif-
teen per cent. of the total surface" Next
comes the lack OF iron and Of coal. Then
the position of the country is remarked on
as unfavorable on account of Switzerland
being obliged to pay custom-house charges
to so many surrounding nations. But he
says hard labor outweighs this unfavorable
state of affairs. Aided by the numerous
water courses, the perseverlng industry of
the Swiss people has established extensive
manufactures of cotton goods, wooden fab
RIGS and silks Of rare shades and designs.
Straw work has also received some atten-
ton. Mathematical and scientific instru-
ments are made at Zurich and at Berne,
and pianos at the former place. Of the
cotton manufacture, which is an industry
of especial interest to us to look at, NJ.
Chaulnes says !: i" In 1860 Switzerland
numbered l,60S,1 100 spindles to-day
there are more than 2,059,35l, thus
showing in thirteen years an increase of
more than 457 ,242 spindles." From this
nurfber of spindles the estimate is made of
" an annual consumption of raw cotton of
about 81, 100000 pounds" Zone hun
dred thousand music boxes are annually
manufactured in the Vandois District of
St. Croix alone" The manufacture of
watches of all qualities, from the very
finest to the most ordinary, is perhaps the
distinguishing industry of Switzerland.
On the branch of trade the review names
many of the leading manufactures, and
saya, zone is led to ask if everything in
time is measured by Geneva Matchmaking,
to say nothing of eternity" "The mere
name of Geneva evokes in the mind the
idea OF the matchmaking industry how
many watches, pocket chronometers and
monographs The house of Patek,
Philippe & Co. display great quantity of
pocket watches, stem winders. adjusted to
heat and cold. There is In Switzerland
this saying: g. When the sun does not
know the hour he asks it of the matchmaker
Patek."

Prithee tell me, Dimple-Chin,
AT what age does Love begin?
Your blue eyes have scarcely seen
Summers three, my fairy queen,
But miracle of sweets,
Soft approaches, sly retreats,
Show the little archer there,
Hidden in your pretty hair;
When didst learn a heart to VIM

Tell o tell me, Grizzled- Face,
Doyour head and heart keep pace?
When does hoary Love expire?
When do frosts put out the fire?
Can its embers burn below
All that chill December snow?
Care you still soft hands to press,
Benny hands to smooth and bless?
When does Love give up the chase?
TELL o tell me, Grizzled- Face
All the wise old lips reply,
Youth may pass and strength may die;
But of love can't fOretoken;

A COOP Gown answer to the question
- What is good COW p correspondent OF
the c untrg Gentleman SAYS:
The working of COW has aptly been com
pared to the running of machine. 1t re
qulres certain amount of power to overcome
he friction; and whatever power we have
yer. goes to do the work. 1t requires a
ertaln amount of food to keep up the waste
II the system, or to keep the cow in fair
condition, and the surplus goes to produce
milk or tat. A COW whose digestive appara-
rus enables her to convert large amount Of
surplus food into milk, is a good cow for
nlk, and cow that has capacity to con-
vert large amount of surplus food into fat
is good COW for the butcher. The cow, or
reed Of cows, whose milk contains large
percentage of caseiD, is good COW to breed
for the cheese dairy, while the cow whose
milk is rich in cream is good cow for the
putter dairy. II 1t was possible to combine
ii these qualities in one animal, we would
have a good cow Tor all purposes Milk that
) rich IN casein is not likely to be rich in
butter, and the COW that yields two or three
psunds per day of fat in butter, cannot, IN
he nature of things, put SO much fat on her
Jack. | one wants good butter COW, he
must select cow bred for her butter produ-
eng qualities, and so for milk, cheese OIL

partizsn way, "easy." But what will
he done with COlfax and the Vermont
Senator, and Blaine and that noisy
Congressman Garfield, who used to be
a preacher, we are told, and is now the
most devout Of Radicals? Must all these,
and many like them, go unwhipt Of
Justice? Poor Brooks, He is hopelessly
doomed. BY the action OF Congress it
j. proposed TO make his sin the equiva-
lent in Nervousness of that of Ames and
all the dozen or two other thieves
vino have prOstituted Office to the basest
uses OF cupidity. Brooks can hardly
kick the beam. his villainy, however
black, is not weighty enough. The civ
iiized world watches and criticizes the
DEGREES Of the high tribunal now re-
quired to mete out justice to its own
members proven unworthy Of places
they occupy. VIII the Congress Of the
United States redeem itself in the eyes
Of mankind by rising above mean parti-
Zan and personal considerations, and
purging itself until none may dare re-
peat the story Of foul ofenses done by
these victims OF Ames's wiles? We
shall see; bat have little faith.

IMPORTANT MEASURES BEFORE THE
LEGISLATURE.
From the Nashville Banner
An effort is being made to remove a
certain difficulty in the way of immi-
grafton and the development of the
State, that Is not a small one. The
boundaries and titles to many of the
lands of the State, and especially to
some OF our most valuable mineral lands,
have always been uncertain. The Board
of Trade of Chattanooga took the first
active measures in regard to this subject
1t is to be hoped that similar organiZa-
tiOns will continue to agitate this and
other subjects of general interest. In
this way important matters will become
better understood, and the necessary
legislation more readily secured. Mr..
Snyder, of Hamilton, has introduced the
following House joint resolution on the
subject:
WHEREAS, On account of the confu-
sion of boundaries and the conflict of
titles in that portion of the State not
heretofore laid off by law into districts,
ranges, townships and sections, the
State is annually losing a considerable
amount of revenue, and much of the
land is unOccupied and undeveloPed;
therefore,
Be it ResOlUed 6y the General Assem-
big Of the State Of Tennessee, That the
Governor be, and he is hereby author
lied and directed to appoint from each
of the grand divisions of the State, one
attorney-at-law, TO constitute a commits
sion, whose duty it shall be to draft and
report to the next session of the Gener-
al Assembly, such bill or bills as may be
necessary to cause such parts of this
State as have not been heretofore laid off,
to be surveyed and laid off into districts,
ranges and sections, and as will compel
each claimant of title to any part of said
land, to set up the same, to the end that
the titles may be vested in such as are
or may be entitled by law.

and resources Of this city. And yet the
city stands with its hands in its pockets
staring vacantly at st. Louis while this
vigorous city absorbs the food we eat
and inhales the very air that Memphis
breathes and destroys every resource of
Memphis's wealth and greatness. 1t is
against the stupid policy of those
that govern that a revolt viii
be inaugursted Monday afternoon
at the Hall of the Chamber of
Commerce. Memphis has every natu-
raj facility for the acquisition of bound
less wealth, and is new emily great in
the little despicable men who shape the
ciy's fortunes, and, unfortunate is
Memphis, that there is no great man to
lead the way cut Of the midst of calam-

have strewn along a once magnificent
city's pathway to splendor and bound
less prosperity.

II Mr.. Brooks must be offered up a

we not express the hope that "Sunset I"
Cox will be returned to Congress in his
stead? Cox was beaten at the last elec-
ton, though running far ahead of his
ticket, byan excellent gentleman named
Tremaine. But whatever Mr.. Tre-
maine's personal virtues, learning and
eloquence, be is not a Quintus Curtius
TO close the yawning ehasm of insuffer-
able dullness left in the capitol when the
witty, eloquent, graceful and poetical
Sunset gilds, for the last time, the hori-
Zon Of Congressional wisdom, with bril-
liant corruscatiOns of his genius. Nye
also, unhappily for the somewhat
somnOlent Senate, at the same time
leaves the other end of the
capitol. VIII not dull, heavy fog en-
shroud the massive pile of marble, gilt
tering in morning sunlight, and blind
ing i'm its very whiteness, and yet not
more imposing or brilliant, or tasteful
in its grand proportions than the wit
and eloquence of Cox? Let New York
give us sunshine in "Sunset' in substi-
tuition for the s0lemnity of Brooks.
Alas! poor Nye. the universe explored
could furnish for him no substitute.
