months imprisonment, for allowing cattle

the yearly consumption and improyident
use of timber is almost incredible. Although
says the Scientific american, there are no
available statistics to show the exact rate of
speed with which they are using, up the
wood supply, it is easy to see that it is be-
ing done with great rapidity. Taking the
legitimate use of lumber alone, industries
based on its manufacture constitute the Sec
ond in point OF fhagnitude'in America, and
are only exceeded by the iron interest.
About 100000 persons are stated to be em-
ployed in producing sawed lumber alone;
$l43, 500, COO are invested therein, "and L.
295, 900 laths, 265r 1000, 600 shingles, 1885,
DOC, 060 feet OF timber are yearly manufac-
tured." Con the ~secondaries based on the
use of lumber as a raw material, carpentry,
cabit-making, shiprbuilding etc., millions of
people are employed. According to Prof.
Brewers assertion, wood forms the fuel Of
two-thirds the population, and the partial
fuel of nine-tenths Of the remaining third;
add this to the former estimate md some
general idea will be obtained of the enor-
NOUS drain upon American forests that is
constantly in progress. AS a fact, it is we'll
known that in ISL as many as 10000 acres
Of forest were stripped Of their timber, to
supply Chicago with fuel, and yet no at
tempt is made to reproduce.-Land and Va

themselves from remorseless spectators.
and obtain tor their products a fair compen-
sation. Yet in this, every imaginable obsta-
els is thrown in their way. Last season they
endeavored to better their condition by tax
ing contracts for grain. In some instances,
they failed to fill them, but In others, the
terms of the contract weEe complied with to
the letter. Fol some unexplainable reason,
however, no money was paid upon these
contracts which. were filled as required, I'M
til. a short time since. And then it was
brought about in the following. manner {:
The contractor for furnishing grain at, Camp
Baker, who is a farmer on the Missouri val
ley, addressed a letter to the Quartermaster
at Fort Ellis, stating that he had that day
written to Washington to knowsaNhether
he was required to furnish grain to the
Government on six months time, or whether
it was understood to be a cash transaction.
Three weeks later he received a check from
the .Quartermaster, for the amount due,
bearing even date with. the letters. written to,
him and to Washington, Now, it is a little
singular that a letter would be three weeks
between Bozeman and Centervile, a dis.
lance of about sixty mites. 1t looks. as.
though there. were some dark frauds being
perpetrated in these matters; or else the
opposition, fearing the farmers wouldsmake
a success of contracting, thereby dispensing
with middle men, have been using their in
fluence to prevent the Government officials
paying the vouchers. It is understood that
the Government pays cash, and tits a hard
ship for contractors to be compelbdeto wait
six months to have their vouchers. cashed.

FACTS ABOUT TIE FORESTS OF TIE
WORT

The forests of Europe are estimated as be-
ing 800 ,000, 900 acres in extent, or about
twenty per cent. of the whole area of the
Continent. In North America it is reckoned
that 1,46O, 900 1000 acres are covered with
trees, Of which area 900, COO, 003 are in Brit
ish North America. En- South America for
ests occupy 700, 600 900 acres. The total
amount for the two continents of the New
World and. Europe gives $500, 900 geograph-
ical miles. The proportion of forest land to
the whole area of Europe, as above stated,
is computed at twenty per cent. in Amer
lea twenty-one per cent. Surprising, there
fore, twenty per cent. to be the proportion
in Asia, Africa, and Australia, the grand to-
tai of the world covers a space of 1874, 600
geographical miles. The areaskof State for
ests and woodlands are estimated at the fol-
lowing figures in the following European
countries Prussia, 6,200o,O00 acres; Baya-
ria 3.264,000; France, 2,700,0 600; Austria, q
100000; Hanover, 100000; Wurtemburg,
469, $3.50; Saxony, 1874, 900 England, 112, 1916.
The range in height of trees varies from the
miniature alpine willow of a few inches in
height to the stupendous Wallingtonia.
which grows to u height of $50 feet, al,
thouglrindeed it is stated that one of the eu--
calypti often reaches a height of 42O feet, in
Victoria. In Sclavonia a tree called the san.
in attains a height of 274 feet, and the un-
brella pines, of Italy 200 feet. The destruc-
ton of woods and forests, however. is enor-
nous and in the majority of.instances no at
tempts are being made for their reproduc-
tion.. In South Africa, we are told. millions
OF acres are destroyed and<made waste an
nually. In New Zealand the.thirty per cent.
OF forest existing in 1880 had. sunk to TWEEN
Weight in 1868, and to. eighteen in 1873.
which rate of diminution, if continued.
would result in the total. destruction of the
New Zealand forests by 1859. In America,
IN the United States especially, the consump-
uoho OF timber. is enormous, and although
puphc attention has been called to the mat
ter, ana the United States Statute of March.

A Butterfly Poem.

A Butterfly Poem.
BY PEARL RIVERS.
Yesterday blissful sadness,
That the Singer only knows,
Fell as softly on my spirit,
AS dew drop on a rose
And feeling like the folding
And unfolding of soft wings,
Made my heart swell in my bosom,
Like BIRDS throat when it sings.
1t was long since any warning
Any faint prophetic sign
OF the presence Of Poem
Had disturbed this heart Of mine.
But the flowers buried under
The cold silence of the snow.
Keep warm hearts and know rs April
BY their need to bud and blow.
And the birds, by intuition,
Know when it is time to sing,
Though they only hear An echo
OF the bugle call of Spring.
And my heart was not so heavy,
Or so dull as net to know
That it was a captive Poem
Made 1t thrill and futter so.
While sighed and smiled and wondered
When and where it had been caught
Like butterfly it bursted,
From the crysalis of Thought.
Like butterfly the Poem
Will not live beyond day
But as butterflies are banners
And the painted signs Of May
So while poems seek the flower
OF my heart, know tits true
That the flower keeps its fragance,
And its honey and its dew.
