Can father kidnap his own children was
question promptly answered b. the Balti-
more authorities yesterday. y telegram
was received by the marshal OF Baltimore
from the chief OF police OF Savannah request-
Ing him TO arrest one Schreiner. who was
about leaving for Europe. as he had kidnap-
ped two children. Schreiner was arrested
and stated that the two children with him
were his own. and that losing his wife about
a year ago, he had, at the request of the
father and mother OF his wife, Ieft his chill
dren with them. Finding that they were
educating them 10 forget their father, he had
sold out his business, and not wishing to
have any trouble with the Old people he took
Inc Children up in the street where they were
playing and brought them on to Baltimore
intending TO leave with them for Europe.
The marshal at once telegraphei 10 the chief
OF police at Savannah that he could not de-
tain Mr.. SchreineT unless furnished with
evidence that the children were not his or
mat their custody had been given 10 Others
by competent court. To this reply was
received from the grandfather of the children
saying he had sworn out a warrant against
Schreiner for kidnapping, and asking the
marshal to hold him until he could reach
Baltimore. Later a telegram was received
from the chief of police at Savannah saying
that he did not know that any court had
given the custody of the children to any per-
Son other than the father, whereupon Schrei-
ner was Immediately released, and will sail
for Europe to-day.

A Romantic Story.

THiRTY-ONE years ago little boy, -four
years old, the son of Daniel Hutchins of
Burlington, N. j., while playing outside
the door of the home of his parents, was
kidnapped by two men and taken to
Philadelphia on board OF steamboat.
From that city the boy was soon after
ward taken to the West, where he grew
up under the charge of his captors. Upon
arriving at the age of manhood he
started out in life for himself, and tray
eled over nearly every part of the civil
lied world. AT the time of his disap-
pearance from home his parents became
almost frantic with grief because of his
loss, and had the Delaware River and
its tributaries, together with the sur
rounding country, searched for his where
abouts, dead or alive, but all in vain.
The people of burlington showed the
deepest sympathy for the sorrow -strick-
en- parents, ana large rewards were
offered for the recovery of the lost one,
Notwithstanding which the event re-
manned shrouded in mystery for the long
space of thirty-onc years, when the lost
one appeared at the scenes of his child
hood in quest of his parents. In the
meantime the father and mother died, it
Is supposed, from pure grief, thinking
that their boy must be dead. After fight
ing the battles of the world and max ing
for himself snug competence, the
young man became convinced that he
was not the child of the men with whom
he had been living, and he determined
to find his parents. He entertained a
slight recollection of his old home, and
tidings of his parents in New Jersey,
and, aided by inquiry, he fixed upon Bur
ington as the place, arriving only to find
his parents dead-N. T. Heyatd.

Something New in Gambling.

Qua Chinese residents have introduced
into the city something new in the art of
gambling, and the game appears to he
well patroniZed by the Celestials The
belongings" are a rope stretched from
one awning post to another and bearing
the prizes, generally a coat worth, say,
$40, hat worth So or 50, and IA pair of
shoes worth 81; suspended from the bal
cony by string is piece of pork
weighing two, three or four pounds, but
no one knows the exact weight, and 1t is
hung so high that it cannot be touched
but only looked at. Parties DESTROYS of
taking IA chance in the game purchase a
ticket, of which forty are issued, the
prices varying from one bit up accord
ing to the value of the prizes, and
each purchaser marks on his ticket his
name and the figures indicating what he
thinks the piece of meat will weigh. The
ticket is rolled up, ted with string and
handed, together with the necessary
money. to the - boss" of the game who,
as soon as the tickets are all sold, takes
the meat down and weighs it carefully.
The tickets are then opened and the
patron that has marked closest to the
weight of the pork is awarded the first
prize; the second best gets the second
prize; and the third the third prize

Russian Forests.

ACCORDING to recent statistics ~ pei
cent. of the whole area of Russia, or 442.-
S97 800 acres, is covered with timber
trees. Nearly 60 per cent. of these
forest-trecs are situated in the four
Northern Governments-Arch No-
logda, Olonetz and Perm. The Govern
ments of the South are comparatively
poor in timber, some parts being nearly
treeless. But since 1912 the Forest Adj
ministration has been remedying this de-
feet by extensive planning Between
1866 and 1870 upward of 10000 acres
were planted. The native trees are prin-
cipally Scotch pine, spruce, fir, larch,
birch, lime, aspen and oak. The value
of the forest products exported in 1871
amounted to 16,O26,553 rubles- The
home consumption is estimated at 264,
100000 rubles per annum. Wood is al
most exclusively the fuel used in Russia.
The railways consume annually I,200,o09
rubles' worth for this purpose An
enormous amount of wood Is also con
sumed in various manufactures. Wood
en- drinking-vessels, platters and spoons
take the place of pottery and metal in
many districts except in the houses OF
the itch. From 30,O00,000 to 40 600, COO
wooden spoons are made every year.
For the manufacture of bast mats,
bark boots (lapti), cordage, etc, immense
numbers of trees are sacrificed every
year 1t is comput, d that 1O0,Oe0,oO
pairs of apti are made annually, each
pair requiring the bark of four young
trees; thus 400,000,OO0 trees are cut
down every year for shoes. Young lime
and birch trees are raised for this pur-
pose A great destruction of pine trees
for the sake of their rosin is also prac-
ticed. The aspen is largely used as IA ma
terial for paper-making. Ten manuiac
tories are engaged in the manufacture
of this paper in Russia and two in Fin,
land. As the aspen has been until
recently considered useless vast reserves
of the tree have accumulated, which VIII
supply the market for many years. Inn
Der, resinous products and bast mats are
the chief articles exported. The Scotch
pine, spruce, fir, birch and oak are al
most the only woods exported.

Selling Il Subscription Book.

In Fred b. Perkins story, "Scrope,'
Mr. Button is a subscription book pub
Usher, and is described at much length,
with samples of his manners and con
versation. Perhaps The best scene in the
whole novel is his interview with the
book agent, JacoX, whom he wishes to
get into his service. Here is the end
of it:
Nov, Mr.. Jacob, do you know how
to sell customer book"
Why" said the little man, greatly
impressed by the intense manner and
weighty matter of Mr.. Buttons address
-" Why, I've been in the habit of think
ing SO; and I've sold good many books;
but III say this, Mr.. Button-that I'm
ready to take your directions"
Now We talk like II man o sense,
said Button. Hcre'-and taking up Il
copy of the History of the Bible" he
handed it to Mr.. JacoX, adding " Now
sell me that book
Jacox looked puzzled.
Il mean it mean exactly that.
Confound Il book agent, anyhow, Cursed
piratical villains"
Jacox, without IA word, took the volume
and rose from the chair. Button seized
pen, turned to the table, and began to
write assiduously.
"Mr Button, i hclieve?" said Jacob,
in prompt and sharp, but good -natured,
voice.
Jaoox laid the bo.k on the desk, open
to the title page.
There. Mr.. Button. You're a man OF
family. That book will do more to keep
