The MALADY OF MEANNEss.-Som
OF the philan;hropists have got so far as
to classify crime among the diseases.
They want criminals committed to pris-
on :" for cure" instead Of for a definite
term, just as yellow fever patient is
sent to the hospital to be kept there till
he gets well. There is something plausi-
be in the theory; at any rate, the rascal
is put under lock and key-call him sick
man or sinner. But neither the philan-
thropists nor the court take cognizance
of a certain kind of moral malady, which
is quite as contagious, quite as danger
Gus, docs every bit as much harm in the
community as those diseases make mani
fest, by a tendency in the lower ranks Of
society to pick pockets, and rob hem
roosts, and, in the higher circles, to i'm
itate other peoples signatures, ard spec
ulale upon other peoples securities. /
mean the malady Of meanness, | mean
you, poor wretch, whose disease is eating
out, not only your own heart, but the
hearts of those who are dearest TO you.
You, with your talk about right, and JUS
tice, and human law and your deed,
which has in it nothing of right, or JUS

PAPER IN JAPAN.-The uses Of paper
in Japan are ludicrously various. 1t is
used in daily life, in the drawing-room,
in tho nursery and the kitchen, in ways
that are dark to foreigner. A Japan
csc is never at loss for string, a sheet
for letter, wrapper, handkerchief,
towel or platter. In his bosom is
roll of paper, and what paper can ac-
complish is only known to the native of
Japan. When Yezaburo or Kintaro cut
his finger, bandage is applied, and tears
are dried by the same article. The ex-
quisitely dressed young lady takes a roll
of paper from her girdle, and 10 it be-
comes handkerchief. Pass into the
street on q rainy day in Yeddo, and you
see for miles panorama Of moving disks
of paper, and suit of oiled and water
proof clothes, hat, coat, trowsers and
shoes, may be bought almost anywhere
in Japan. Boxes, pipe cases, twine dish
cs, tea trays, carpets, chimneys, roasting
tins for firing tea, windows, doors, parti-
tions and screens, are everywhere made
of paper. The panneled walls Of houses
are made of paper pulp. Old japanese
armor is largely made Of compressed
laquered paper, and perhaps Europeans
adopt the custom Of papering the walls
of their houses from the people. The
dwellings of the better classes Of the Jap
anese people are always papered, though
the sheets used are not over foot or
eighteen inches square. They are pol
ished, silvered, gi!ded, co!ored or printed
with binds, flowers, animals, and many
tasteful designs. In looking over a pa
per dealers sample in Jeddo, one rarely
sees loud " or uncouth pattern always
excepting the dragon, in which the norm
al japanese doth SO delight.

SATURDAY, MARCH II, 1874.

CALIFoRNIA oOD-CHoPPERs.-e is
in the logging camps that a stranger will
be most interested on this coast, for there
he will see and feel the bigness of the red
woods. A man in Humboldt county got
out Of one tree lunaber enough to make
his house and barn, and to fence two acres
of ground. A schooner was filled with
shingles made from a single tree. One
tree in Mendocino, whose remains were
shown to me, made mile of railroad
ties. Trees fourteen feet in diameter
have been frequently found and cut down;
the saw logs are often split apart with
wedges, because the entire mass is too
large to float in the small and narrow
streams, and | have often seen them blow
a log apart with gunpowder. A tree
four feet in diameter is called undersized
in these woods, and so skillful are the
wood choppers that they can make the
largest giant of the forest fall just where
they want it, or, as they say, "drivc
stake with the tree"
The choppers do not stand on the
ground, but on stages raised to such
hight as to enable the axe to strike in
where the tree attains its fair and regu-
lar thickness for the redwood, like the
sequoia, swels at the base near the ground
These trees prefer steep hilsides, and
grow in an extremely rough and broken
country, and their great hight makes it
necessary to fell them carefully, lest they
should, falling with such enormous weight
break to pieces. This constantly happens
in spite of every precaution, and thoro is
little doubt that in these forests and at
the mills, two feet Of wood are wasted to
every foot of lumber sent to market. To
mark the direction line on which the tree
is to fall, the chopper usually drives
stake into the ground 100 or $50 feet from
the base of the tree, and it is actually
common to make the tree fall on this
stake, so straight do these redwoods stand
and SO accurate is the skill Of the cutters.
To fell a tree eight feet in diameter is
counted a days work for man.-Har-
per's Magozine.

A REMARKABLE School TEACHER
A Georgia letter in the New York Sun
says Colonel d. b. b. Graham, of Tenn
perance, Telfair county, in this State, is
probably the most remarkable school
teacher in the world. He was admitted
to the bar as a alawyer in 1892. Soon af-
ter he was stricken down with acute rheu-
matism. He then became paralysed, his
whole body being helpless, except his
hands and arms, up to his eyebrows. For
a long time he has taught school while
lying on his back. His school is in
fourishing condition, and he is making
money. Many distinguished persons
have graduated from Colonel Graham's
school. The Col. was never married.

BEST TINE TO CUT TIMBER.-Dr. Har-
tig, who has made numerous experiments
TO determine the point, states that March
and April are the best months in which
to cut timber for building purposes, as
it then contains its lowest per cent of
moisture, which he states to be forty
seven per cent. During the three pre-
vious months it has ffty-one per cent.
and the three following ones, forty-eight.
He further states that properly seasoned
timber should not contain more than
from twenty to twenty-five per cent. Of
mosture, and never less than ten per
cent. If the moisture is removed to n
greater extent, the wood loses strength
and becomes brittle. An English au-
thority states that if trees are fcled as
soon as they are in full leaf, and allowed
TO remain undisturbed until the leaves
dry up and fall of, the timber will be
found well seasoned, the leaves having
exhausted all the moisture.

won worldwide reputation, and in the art
centers of Europe it is an admitted fact that
its wood-cuts are examples of the highest per-

in favor of steel plates is rapidly yielding to Il
more educated and nddiscriminating taste which
recognizes the advantages of superior artistic
quality with greater facility of production
