Our Consumption of Timber.

We have now about 90, 600 miles of rail-
road the annual consumption for ties or
sleepers alone Is ~, 600, 000, or thirty years
growth CT $4,000 acres. To fence these
roads would require at least l30, 200 miles
of fence, which would cost $40, 000, 900 to
build. and take at least Sl5, 600, 900 annual
" to keep in repair. We have $4,000
miles of wire, which requires in its putting
up 500, 900 trees, while the annual repairs
must take 800. 600 more. The little, in
significant lucifer match consumes annually
in its manufacture 800. 900 cubic feet of the
finest pIne The bricks that are annually
baked require 1000, 900 cords of wood,
which would sweep the timber clean from
%, 900 acres. Shoe pegs are quite as i'm
portant an article as matches or bricks, and
to make the required annual supply con-
sumes 100, 900 cords of fine timber, while
the manufacture of lasts and boot trees
takes 500, 600 cords of maple, beech and
birch, and about the same amount is re-
quired for plane stocks and the handles of
tools The packing boxes made in the
United States in 1874 amounted to Sl2,-
900, 900, while the timber manufactured in
to agricultural implements, wagons, etc, is
more than 500, 900, 900. The farm and
rural fences of the country consume an i'm
mense amount of lumber and tim
Der annually, but as we grow older as
nation, this consumption may, and probab-
" will, be reduced by the more general use
of live fences or hedges. Our consumption
of timber is not only daily on the increase,
but our expectation of timber is also rapidly
increasing. Our slaves go by the million
to France annually. walnut, oak, maple
and pine to England, and spars and docking
timber to China and japan.

Br-inark's Courage.

Bismark' $ life is full of authentic anec-
dOtes recording his singular fcarleSsness.
As child he does not seem to know wLat
danger is. His mother is in constant fear
about him. If he does not get drowned he
will certainly break his neck. Many acci-
dents happen to him, and he often has very
narrow escapes, but somehow he always
does escape. As he grows older he becomes
more prudent, but still he does not know
fear. In GOttingen, where he went to
law, he got involved in four ducls on the
day of his arrival, because, quite regardless
of the respect due by a freshman to his
seniors, he coolly and deliberately insulted
four of these who had taken the liberty TO
laugh at him. While in the army he saved
his servant from drowning at the risk of his
own life. For this deed he got a medal,
which for many years was the only deco
ration he had. lie wears it still ; and it is
said-and We readily believe-that he is
quite as proud of it as of the numberless
ribbons, crosses and stars which now cover
his breast After lsis Bisrsark's courage
was displayed on other fields He was
among the first, and certainly among the
most conspicuous of those who, while all
around were carried away by the revolution
or despair of being able to resist it, stood
up boldly and agitated openly against it.
He took the lead of the reactionary party
and became very unpopular. The liberal
press in Prussia attacked him with great
violence. In Parliament he met with We
hement opposition. He seldom lost his
temper, but he never retracted single
word of his attack on the revolution. Some
illusions having been made to the fate
which generally awaits those who try tOr re-
sist the demands of a great people for liber-
ty, he merely shrugged his shoulders. He
is of the opinion that death on the scaffold
may be very honorable death. While
he was canvassing for his election at place
called Rathenow, an old farmer asked him
if he thought il were of any use ''to fight
against those Berlin democratsi" 'It is
better to be the hammer than the anvil, p"
replied BIsmark. He has always managed
to be the hammer. When he was on the
point of leaving Rathenow mob surround
ed the carriage in which he was seated with
his friend Mr.. Won Stechow. Stones were
thrown at him, and one struck him on the
shoulder. lie rose, and picking up the
stone that had fallen in the carriage, hurled
il back at the crowd. II was a multitude
against two men, but nobody dared to stop
Bismark's carriage. In 1850, when the
tide of political passion was still running
very high, Bismark went one day into
tavern at Berlin to take glass of beer. A
man near him, feeling himself supported by
the presence of his friends, began to abuse
a member of the royal family. Bismark
looked at him, and said quietly, ''If YOU

Economy I'm Dress

To be sure. these are hard times, and
prudence is needful: but, my dear ladies,
that is poor economy that leads you to buy
cheap goods simply because they are cheap.
In the long run this plan does not pay.
If you buy but little, buy good material.
Everybody could contrive to have three
dresses in wear. If it is important to have
one really good dress, il is equally lmpor-
tant to have a good second best to save 1t.
MANY poor women destroy best dress by
wearing it at unsuitable times, simply be-
cause they have no other presentablc in
which to 30 ont A richer neighbor could
save her silk on a rainy day by wearing a
coarser and more suitable dress. We know
a lady who. on a small income, manages to
dress handsomely in all occasions, going
out great deal in fashionable circles 1t
takes science, but she is equal to II she
buys one good dress year, this she has
made UP in the prevailing stvle, and sets
if aside as her very best for dinner parties,
sunny Sabbath's and the like. The last
wears best dress is remodeled into an excel
lent second best, which is most used of the
set. 1t serves for afternoon wear, for gen
cr,I street wear and dull Sundays. Then
comes the third best, which is made, most
likely. of several old dresses, ripped apart
and turned to the best account. This is for
very common use, bu. looks very well even
in the street, for the materials of which it
Is made were of the best in their day, and
such goods have a perennial youth. The
other accessories of her toilet are always
elegant. She never buys cheap lace, which
