lake are pine forests, on the south
shore and on the north shore. and
particularly at the western extrem-
ity. Very large tracts of this tim
Der are vacant lands, and much OF
it unsurveyed. Even those lands
that have been entered were taken
by men who had money to use on
long time investments and who are
making no use of the lands. AS
near as we can estimate it will cost
from one dollar and fifty cents to
two dollars per thousand feet more
to transport lumber from Lake Su-
perior to Chicago or Cleveland
than it will to move the same from
the Michigan pinery to the same
points. If these figures are correct,
it follows that when stumpage tim
Der standing) is worth 81 per
thousand feet in Michigan, it will
be actually worth 50 to $3.50 on
Lake Superior, provided that the
timber is of an equally good quality
and as we'll located for logging
purposes. As to the quality, we are
not perfectly acquainted with the
timber of Michigan or that of Lake
Superior; but we do know that on
the st. Louis River and its tribu-
taries, as we'll as the Nemadii and
many streams, large and small, on
both the north shore and the south
shore, and we are well advised from
personal observation and the testi-
mony of other men, that upon these
streams there are large tracts of
pine timber that will run we'll to up
per grades Of lumber. This timber
averages better than the timber off
to the south Of the lake in the Wis
consin plneries Or that farther west
in Minnesota. Perhaps it is not as
good as the timber in Michigan;
we think it is not quite as good.
But in the matter of it's location
with reference to logging, it is prob
ably far enough ahead, at least in
many places, to make up for all the
difference In the quality of the TIM
Der.
In this great region the many
streams will have to have only the
usual amount of improvements to
make the timber available at all
points, and the notion which some
of our lumbermen entertain that the
shores of lakes like Superior would
not answer for numbering purposes
will soon be exploded, and the Mis-
sissippi Valley will draw part of
her supply from its shore inside of
another generations time, as Eng
land and France get their supply
from the shores of the Baltic and
North seas. The immense drain
upon the scant supply of timber on
Lake Michigan and on the waters
of the Mississippi indicate that the
time is at hand when this new
source will be appealed to. With
IN the last few years some of the
shrewdcst operators have entered
large tracts on the St. Louis, and
the opening of the new city of Ash

Railroad. will bring into market all
the timber around that region and
the same thing will occur at every
point around the lake.
We shall be greatly obliged to

parts of this region, in order that

LITTLE ILLSs

We are seldom cognizant of the large
amount OF unhappiness that results
from little ills, though we all yield III
some degree to their successful attacks.
They come upon us like au army, and
besicge the fortress of everyday af-
fairs, until we give up the key OF con-
tent aud are shackled by small troub-
les. They offer us combat in every
path we pursue; their lines of battle
reach far into the distance, and their
destructive power is as strong as it is
irresistible.
AS the tiniest streams wear channels
in the rock, SO the constant fall Of lit
tie ills wear out the strongest natures :,
but the men who are most clamorous
beneath their influence are often those
who stand silently in the presence of
a great despair. The merchant who
frets over II poorly prepared breakfast
is dumb before ruin in his counting
room. The farmer who complains OF
a sun-scorched field is too hopeless for
utterance when famine stalks abroad
in the land. The physician who goes
with murmuring lips to the bedside OF
hysterical patient, will keep silent
vigils when death battles with life in
the courts OF disease. Our powers OF
endurance yield to small evils because
we realize that they are often the re-
suit Of our own carelessness. We rise
to meet a storm, but we fall asleep in
sunny ways, and are shorn of oul
strength by some Delilah of little ills
We vaunt our powers in presence o
the enemy and are stricken down by I
small stone from the cling of smal

The Yield of the Worlds Harvest
this Year.

On the whole it must be pronounced
Il good one. There can be little reason
TO doubt that the United States are
gathering in the largest crop of the
best quality that has ever been pro-
duced in those vast regions. Their
own estimate is that they have a sur
plus nearly enough tosupply our needs,
of their belief by depressing our mar
kets with the quantity and low price
of their produce. But America has
frequently deceived herself in this
matter, and there may be exaggeration
in the estimate this year. Egypt has
an abundant crop, and is rapidly turn
ing it into money. Austria and Hun
gary have u considerable surplus to
spare. Russia is said to have a more
abundant crop than she has reaped for
years; but as her ports on the south
exported rs can he sent to the Baltic,
or by railroad through Germany.
France and Belgium, however, have
poor crops this year, and, instead of
sending To US, will be competitors with
us for the American and Hungarian
surplus, There can be little doubt
that, il the Russian supplies were lib
Grated, the competition of America and
Russia would reduce values. 1t is per-

ing her opportunity is selling all she
can while Russia is almost shut up.
The American factories which have
supplied the Turks with rifles which
have done them such good service have
played the best possible game for the
American farmers, who could afford to
pay for all the rifles that have been sent
To Turksy out of the difference in price,
which they are obtaining for their
wheat above what they would have
got had the Black Sea been open. 1t
is clear, we think, that the worlds is
sufficient for its needs, and that, if our
traders can but keep themselves from
the panic and alarm which the disas-
trOusly bad crop of England, may, with
reason, OCCASION. although we shall
have to pay more for our loaf than the
average price Of the last cereal year,yet
the present ruling prices are nearly
high enough to attract sufficient sup
plies to our shores. 1t must not be
forgotten, however, that the failure of
our potato crop will cause large extra
demand for rbread.-[Saturiay Review.
