EErE FORESTS.

Under such heavy yearly drain, the
question naturally comes up, how long
will our forests hold out at the present rate
of manufacture 1t is really an important
question, upon which follows the inquiry,
as to what we are to do for building ma.
teral when this magnificent wood-pine-
is exhausted. One authority after another
has entered formally upon its solution,
with satisfactory results in local instances,
but very vague ones as to the field at large.
At the rate we are cutting it to-day, from
thirty to fifty years seem to be agreed
upon as the limit Twenty years ago there
was apparently no limit, for the consump-
ton was not only less but the means for
its manufacture were primitive, and accom-
pljshed much smaller results than now. 1t
seems as if it were impossible 10 further
improve the machinery--of saw mills, but
the near future may, for all that, see saving
machinery, in comparison to which that Of
the present day will be contemplate. So,
although twenty years ago there was no
seeing the end of the timber, now, with
the modern mills and myriads of them,
we are beginning to calculate with dire
certainty as to the time when 'tha wooden
age" will be Il thing of the past.

confessing before his head dropped. Such
a system might work well enough in
Japan, but it is very plain that its effects
in this country would be most appallin,r.
The only innocent and truly good men in
a neighborhood would receive all the
votes and pop into popularity so sud
denly as to amaze them, while profess
sional politicians would at once lose their
greed for votes and proceed to electioneer
for their better and more modest fellow
citizens. The plan would not work well
in America, very evidently.

SEVERAL Democrats who expected the
places with Treasurer Fratz which they
now see filled by Republicans, are not as
enthusiastic for Goss as they were Goss
is understood to have been the power that
controlled appointments in the Treasur-
er's Office, and these people argue that if
he thought it best to have few Repub-
licans put in, by the same course of rea-
soning they may as well vote for Tom
Young. This brings up another matter.
Did Goss four years ago, after having
contended with Banning for the Demo
cratic nomination for Congress and been
defeated, scratch the name of the success
full opponent from his own ticket when
election day came? If this thing goes on
Goss will turn out never to have been a
Democrat at all. As it now stands Dem
,ocrats, even strict party men, are alb
solved from any duty to vote for Mr..
Goss on the ground of party fealty. 1t
is entirely choice of individuals be-
tween Goss and Young.

A Void.

All those tiny dimpled fingers,
That soiled the window pane,
They will no longsr vex us,
All, nevermore again.
We hear no more childish voice,
Prattling in baby glce;
We list in vain ripping laugh,
That floateth out so free.
We hear no more she pattering feet,
or tiny baby Will;
No tongue can tell how great the void
That naught Of earth can fill.
Oh, weary mother, tired, and vexed,
l almost envy thes,
For baby's cry is tfsier borne,
Than this great id can be.
Oh, empty hands, OF, aching heart
Oh, void that naught can fill,
More welcome far the fretful cry
OF little baby VIII.

THE citizens of the town of Ava, in
Japan, know trick better than pooling
their issues; they pool their opinions and
suspicious. A series of mysterious crimes,
the author of which could not be discov-
cred, troubled the minds of the Magis-
trates to such an extent that they decided
on novel plan for fixing the guilt upon
somebody in satisfactory manner. A
pool was established, at which every citi-
zen was invited to cast his ballot, desig-
mating the person whom he supposed to
be guilty. A notoriously bad character
was elected by large majority and
promptly executed, although he gave the
affair a semblance of justification by

OLIVER HAZARD PERRY, son of the
hero of Lake Erie, died last week at An
dover, Mass, aged seventy-six years. He
was for many years a Lieutenant in the
United States Navy, but later became
engaged in the mercantile business. His
son, in whom the honored name of his
grandfather is still perpetuated, is at
present Superintendent of the Middlesex
Mills at Lowell.

THAT this city is not in an excellent

There is no more grim satire on grief
possible than that of fashionable widow
going through the slidingscale from "full
mourning" down the various grades of
diluted sorrow, to "half-mourning," to
modified regret" each of which must
be indexed by the arts of dressmaker,
until she bursts upon the public eye
as gaudy and as sprightly as a hum
ming-bird or bottle-hy.
DR.. Macleod thinks all this is not only
public evil, but that it is irreligious
thus to invest death with gloomy sur
roundings-that there are glorious hopes
linked with SORROWS for the dead" that
should be symbolized by cheerful gar
ments worn by mourners in token of the
faith in future life and reunion more
lasting and enjoyable than anything this
transitory life affords. Full mourning
he would send to the heather "who in
their sorrow at the grave have no hope,"

FASHIONABLE MOURNING.

Occasionally clergyman breaks
ground out of the beaten path and sets
himself about the reformation of some
public abuse or worse than useless GUS
tom. In the discharge of this duty
there may be nothing sensational or any
straining after effect or notoriety. To a
meek teacher of the Gospel anything
tainted with notoriety must be particu-
larly disagreeable 1t undoubtedly is to
the Rev. Mr.. Talmage. The Monday
morning blazonry, throughout the Uni
ted States, of his Sunday bursts of elo-
quencc over the sins of the modern Bah
ylon must be as painfully felt by him as
is his oratorical fame to Dennis Keamcy.

MANY cOntriyances have been brought
forward for the purpose Of heating horse
cars, but after being experimental with
for brief season they have in almost
every instance been abandoned. The
latest invention for this purpose has just
been introduced in the Third-avenue
cars, New York City, and it consists sim
ply of cast-iron stove or furnace inclosed
in galvanized shcet-iron cylinder. A
small pipe leads from the top of the fur
mace, which contains coal fire, and pen
otrates the roof Of the car, and slender
iron braces hold the whole in place in the
middle of the floor about two feet from
the forward door. These furnaces success
fully raise the temperature of the cars,
and give general satisfaction except in
cases when the cars run off the track.
Then the fiery furnaces wabble about
and scatter Goals in such an alarmingly
suggestive way that passengers gladly
flee and court the coldness Of the outside
