1t has been four years before the public, and
It's success is really remarkable. Its superiority

There are more Parker Guns in the hands of

There are three times as many Parker Gunsin

At the UticaCOnvcntiOn of the New York State

Mrs Laura Williams, who killed
herself by jumping from the fourth
story window of the Samosett House
in Holyoke, Mass, seems to have
been convinced that she was not
wanted alive. A year ago she went
from this city to Holyoke to live with
her son and daughter. They sent
her to another relative in Vermont,
where she became pauper. The
son, while on a visit there, was ar
rested for bringing pauper into the
State, and compelled to take her
back to Holyoke, where he put her
in an asylum. Next Massachusetts
charity agent, deciding that she be-
longed to Vermont, sent her again
into that State, and again she was
returned. The asylum authorities
refused this time to receive her,
whereupon the old woman relieved
them all of any further anxiety on
the subject. But Massachusetts, had
to bury -Pittsburg Chronicle.

THE TIME WILL BRING THE MAN.
Under this head the st. Louis Repub-
ltcon says:
Has it ever occurred to the able
editors who are casting about for
some politician to be elected to the
Presidency by the Democratic party
in 1876, that the Republican organi-
zation itself is dying of too much
partyism, and it is not worth while
to make any strenuous efforts to in
oculate the opposition with the same
virus? 1t might be well to keep in
mind the fact that great many
more are this year voting for Demo-
cratic candidates who are not Demo-
Gratis, and never will be in the dyed.
in -the-wool sense. 1t may not be
entirely for the best to make too
much fuss over that class Of gentle
men who have been sitting in the
back seat supinely for several years
waiting for Democratic majorities.
Don't trot out your presidential cour-
sers too soon, for fear that they may
get tired before,the race begins.

To Initiate an Echo.

The ear is about as easily deceived as
the eye, and one by little practice
can so change his voice as to make it
appear as if proceeding from some dis
tant object. To perform in the general
line of ventriloquism, large room is
best, but for producing echoes a small
one will do.
To produce a mountain echo turn
your back to the listeners whistle loud
several short, quick notes, just as if
you were whistling to a dog then as
quick as possible after the last note,
and as softly and subdued as possible
to be heard, whistle about third the
number of notes, but it must be in the
same note or pitch this will cause the
last whistle to appear just like an echo
at great distance. This imitation, if
we'll performed, causes much surprise
to those listening.
The same thing can be done by
shouting any sentence, such as " Hal
loa, you, there 70 Ship ahoy !" Let
your voice be formed close to the lips
then quickly, in the same pitch or tone,
speak the same words very subdued,
and formed at the back of the mouth.
This is very simple, yet effective.

Consumption OF Timber.

Estimating the railways of the Uni
ted States as equal, including sideings,
double track, etc., to 10000 miles of
single track, the aggregate number OF
ties would be $50, 600 900, at the rate of
1900 to the mile. This, says n recent
circular of the lumbermen of Pennsyl-
vania, requires the timber from twelve
and a half acres of well-timbered lands
to furnish, because the average of trees
from which railroad ties can be cut will
not exceed forty to the acre, nor can
there be cut more than five ties from
each of these forty trees. The average
life of railroad tie is said to be about
five years-consequently, 30, 900, 900 are
requisite for repaires annually, and to
furnish this amount will consume 2, 500,-
900 acres of best timber land. In adj
dition to this vast area, about 10000
acres are required annually to supply
ties for the new roads which are being
constructed each year.
The circular referred to has been sent
to lumber dealers and consumers
through the State, calling attention to
the condition of the lumber interests.
1t appears from this that the amount of
pine lumber annually cut on the Sus-
quehanna river and its tributaries ex-
ceeds 500, 100000 feet. Should this
amount be cut for the next five years it
would amount to $500, 100000 feet.
A careful estimate has been made of the
area of timber land, and tho average
yield of lumber per acre, and the alarm
ing conclusion is reached that three
years stocking at the present rate of
500, 900, 600 feet per year would entirely
exhaust all the pine lumber now stand
ing. These statements are made after
very careful estimates, and with the in
dorsement of the most experienced
lumberers in the State.
