Suits for Small Boys.

The suits worn by small boys are
very much simpler than the kilt suits
lately worn, and altogether more COM
Portable for the child. In the first place,
the clumsy vest is dispensed with; then
the kilt is not so heavy, as the most
stylish kits are plain in front and have
only about eleven plaits behind, all
turning one way. Moreover, this kilt
skirt is sewed to a waist of silesia some
what in vest shape, the whole garment
is buttoned down the front, and when
the cutaway coat is put on the suit is
complete. For very plain suits these
are made in beige-colored linen bound
with dark-brown braid; they cost $3.50.
For better suits, sold at ten dollars,
gray cloths of light quality, olive MKT
ures, Scotch CheviOts, baskct-wOven
and quadrille cloths are used. Dress
suits made in the same style are of dark
brown or blue cloth, so smooth that it
rows of fine silk braid doubled for TRIM
ming, and very small flat plain but
tons. The collars are cut deep and
square. Similar suits are made of
white pique for very little fellows, and
are trimmed with pique braids. Dark
blue flannel, trimmed with black, blue
or white braid, is made up in this way
for country suits.
Instead of the yoke aprons worn by
little girls, boys of two or three years
have princesse coats or slips of light
cloth or of linen, cut with kilt-pleating
behind and an Ulster belt, to slip on
easily over their snowy-white under
clothes.
Boys just in trousers wear knee pam
falcons and single-breasted cut-away
coats precisely like those worn with
kits. Sometimes the coat is left off
and they wear only a shirt-waist of
white percale, with colored coral figure
or Japanese design, or else spots of
blue and pink. These have six plaits
down each side of the front, but the
backs are gathered. They are long
enough to reach over the hips, and are
held in shape by belt stitched on the
outside; on this belt are eight buttons,
to which their other garments are to be
fastened. The collar is Byron shape
and the cuffs are square. Such waists
are sold for one dollar; for the same
price are white waists with plated
linen fronts. Light overcoats for small
boys are long single-breasted sacks
made of pale gray or brown quadrille

A Miners Fatal Trap.

A placer miner, whose claim is near
Iowa Hell, in Placer County. had had
his sluice-boxes robbed on several Oc-
casions, and although he tried all ordi-
nary methods for detecting the perpe-
traitors, failed to do SO. Finally he de-
termined upon a plan which was as
novel as it was terrible in execution.
A quicksilver tank was charged with
powerful explosives and placed in such
q position that no sluice robbers could
approach the boxes without coming in
contact with an ingenious arrangement
which would explode the i'm plement of
death and nurl them into eternity with
the precision of bursting boiler. On
Sunday last the inventor of this appa-
ratus (whose name our informant failed
to obtain) went to the locality where
he had it planted" when, by some
strange and unknown accident, it ex-
ploded. Its power to do the work for
which it had been made was fully dem
onstrated. The owner was shattered
into q thousand atoms-a victim to his
own inventive faculties. Nevada (Cal.)

This is q strong contrast TO make be-
tween the two Empires-for Austria is
as populous as England. Proceeding
to moralize upon it little. Mr.. Seyd
says:
"People who 20 to Austria find the
residents walking about in black hats
and in as good clothes as we do here;
that living there is as cheerful if not
more cheerful and agreeable than here.
Little do they know of the abnegation
which all classes in Austria have to
practice, of the hard work done by the
people, and if they appear to be more
contented or light-hearted than our
selves, the fault on our side must be
sought in the stronger division between
rich and poor, and the insufficient edu-
cation of the poor. Were the division
of all this wealth of ours more equal, to
the ultimate benefit of the richer classes
as would prove to be the case, and were
general education higher, England
would certainly contain the happiest
population on the face of the earth.''
The United States would probably
rise up and say no to this conclusion.
Although, in respect to international"
wealth. we are much in the condition
of Austria, and not SO prosperous as
England, yet we have the great advan-
tage of more equality in the division of
such wealth as we have, and a very
general education of the poor. We,
therefore, after the present stress of the
weather is over, financially, shall be the
"happiest population on the face of
the EARTH" if we remain true to the
American idea of government and So
ciety-no matter what changes England
may make in the direction of that
equality which Mr.. Seyd and Matthew
Arnold alike Springfe { Mass

Destruction OF Forests.

WE all rejoice, commercially, when
we read such statements as that over
one billion feet of lumber were market
ed in Chicago last year. But we seem
to take no cognizance of the fact that
upper Michigan and Wisconsin are be-
ing rapidly denuded of their forests,
and that consumption, at the rate which
it has been going on for some years
past, will soon exhaust the source of
supply. 1t is true, trees will grow, and
in due time come to be of serviceable
size; but it is slow process, and a
generation or two will pass away before
they come to useful maturity.
There should be some systematic plan
adopted for the preservation and re-
newal of forest trees. The Government
has offered inducements in this direc-
ton in the treeless prairie States; stillj
it is not extensive enough to accomplish
the object desired. An agent has been
employed to prosecute inquiries with a
view of discovering the means best
adapted for the preservation and re-
newal of forests. 1t is all-important
that this agency be continued, for a
country stripped of its forests loses a
large portion of its means of prosperity,
both directly and indirectly. In Europe
the vital importance of this subject is
far better understood than with us.
There the Governments were compelled.
centuries ago, to face this question, and
forestry, in all its branches, has been
made the subject OF the most thorough
scientific inquiry, followed by practical
action. We have acted, evidently, up
on the idea that our forests were mex
haustible, and so we have cut, and
slashed, and wasted without restraint
or thought of the future.
We have known in our experience of
streams on which there were mills and
factories in the early settlement of the
region in which they were located, so
dried up by the removal of the forest
upon their 'head-waters, as to lie utterly
useless, and in some instances they have
almost entirely become dry, except dur
ing the season of rains in the spring
and fall. And this process is going on,
upon large scale, all over the coun-
try. Therefore, the question of timber
culture, as we'll as of the careful hus-
bandry of that which we have, both on
public and private lands, is a vastly i'm
portant one, and it has come to that
pass that something must be done to
stay the hand of wholesale destruction

The Brazilian Empire has been
obliged to issue $40, 900, 900 to 500, OOO,-
600 in paper money to meet current OK
penses, the treasury being depleted and
unable to meet its payments, although
6 and even 81 per cent. interest is Of
fered by the treasury fer six-montbs'
loans or renewals. This is owing to
recent extravagances in prosecuting
public works.
THE total expenditure for the main
tenance of the Central Park Menagerie,
New York, during 1877, amounted to
81, 3s6-being 81, 900 less than in 1876.
Only $25 was expended for the pur-
chase of animals. A number of star
l.ngs (Stuynus vulgaris) and English
pheasants were last summer liberated
in the park. The starlings remained
through the summer, but departed in
the autumn.
LORD ROsEBERRY, who married Miss
Hannah Rothschild, the other day, is
much greater man than is generally
supposed in America. The general
supposition in this country is that he is
merely a member of the House of

of more than ordinarily elegant leisure.
Nothing could be further from the
truth. Lord Roseberry is far more
than all this. He is the editor of a

A Western WOman's Pluck.

A LETTER from Chicago to the Madi-
son (Wis.) Journal contains the follow
ing:
"Six years ago gentleman who had
been a war Governor of an Upper Mis-
sissippi State, was afterward Minister
to European Court, and subsequently
at the head of one of the most important
Departments of the Government, and
member of the National Cabinet, died,
leaving a wife with from $4,000 to
500, 900, and this mainly in an unpro-
ductive homestead in Southern New
York. Through the advice of sup
posed friend Of her husband, this lady
was induced to sell her property and
put the proceeds in a herd of cattle in
Southwest Nebraska. She came out to
look after her investment, and finding
the condition of the herd unsatisfactory,
assumed $4,000 of liabilities and
bought out and took the management
into her own hands. In few months
the herd was in good and thriving
found herself suffering from pecuniary
embarrassment, and appealed to her
eastern friends for aid. They looked
upon her venture as a visionary one,
and declined to assist her, but advised
her to give it up, save what she could
from the wreck, and return to them.
She did not believe there was any such
word as fail, and applied herself all the
more diligently to her business. She
rode to the herd every day, except Sun
day, sometimes in q buggy, but gen.
orally on Observation-Disclosures miles each
way-and gave the most minute in
structions TO her men. Her troubles
she kept entirely to herself. Her help
or her neighbors did not know but she
had bank to draw upon for all the
money she needed.
"At the end of the year she sent for
the father of her late partner, and they
divided the herd equally and settled,
with loss to her of over $4,000, which
she paid to get the partnership dis
solved. She then borrowed $1,000 to
enable her to pay some small debts,
make some improvements in buildings,
and start afresh, entirely unembar-
raised.
"At the present time her liabilities
are only $4,000. She has herd of
over !. 1000 head of cattle, has an album
dance of conveniences for them, and no
stock farm or range within 100 miles is
provided with as good barns, sheds,
corrals and ranges for cattle. Her herd
is clearing her over Sc, 600 a year, and
constantly increasing in size. At the
railway station, where she resides, she
has farm of 40 acres, on which are
good dwelling, barns, sheds, cheese
factory, corral, ETC., in perfect order.
The farm is all under fence; she buys
all lumber used herself, and has every
improvement, large and small. made
under her own eye and as she directs.
In truth, she is her own superintend-
emit, and personally looks after every
thing both on the farm and at the cat
tie ranch. At the ranch she has a
comfortable house, which she occupies
when her business confines her there.
She visits the ranch about five times a
week, generally on horseback, and goes
and returns the same day. No bust
ness man in Nebraska is in better cred
it than this enterprising and excellent
lady,"
