CORRECT SPEAK1Ne.-What is it to speak
correctly! 1t is to accustom ourselves tospeak
and write accurately, having special care to
use no language or utter any statement that is
not elegant or strictly truthful. Avoid the
use of all slang words and phrases. They are
odious, and no amount Of personal grace in
the speaker can compensate for the disagrea-
BILE effect that the use of slang has upon the
hearer. When once the habit of using these
slang phrases has been formed, it is al
most impossible to eradicate it. Youth is the
best time to acquire correct language 1t does
not require wealth the poorest can obtain the
faculty. And how? By using the language of
books-in other words, that which one reads.
Form the taste of the best speakers and wri.
ters; treasure up choice phrases, and accustom
yourself to their use But do not fall into the
opposite error of selecting only that which is
pompous and high sounding, for that will
make one ridiculous. But choose the language
which is terse, expressive and clear, and the
habit of correct speaking soon becomes fixed,
and makes it a pleasure to listen to you.

Destruction of Timber Lands.

A writer who has been making a
study of forest trees, their rapid
destruction in this country and
their effect on climate and health,
says that since 1885 the forest area
of the Western Hemisphere has de-
creased at the yearly average rate
of Z 100000 acres, or about II 900
square miles, and that this rate in
the United States alone has ad-
vanced from 1000 square miles in
1885, to 1000 in 1855, and s,400 in
1876, while the last two years have
scarcely been less exhaustive. Sta
tistics for 80 years previous to 1885
show that we have been wasting
the supply of moisture to Ameri-
can soil at the average rate of 7 per
cent. for each quarter of a century
during the last 1875 years, and that
we are now approaching the limit
beyond which any further decrease
will materially influence the eli
mate of the entire continent.
Many eastern regions, such as Af-
ghanistan, Persia, India and Asia
Minor, once possessed of a fine eli
mate and abundant harvests, are
now often scourged by pestilence
and famine, and it is altogether
probable that their misfortunes be-
gan with the disappearance of their
forests. 1t is quite likely that we
shall suffer in climate, fertility and
health before a great while if we
continne to destroy our trees as
reclSlessly as we have done, and it
hehoves us to be warned in time.
What has happened elsewhere may
certainly happen here. Indeed,
there is great danger of it, for we
know by experience that fertile
lands have grown sterile by loss of
trees, and that sterile lands have in
turn become fertile by systematic
planting. A certain proportion of
well-wooded, as well as arabic and
pasture land, is essential TO our ma
terial prosperity, and this proper
tion can never be kept up unless
regular tree-planting be adopted as
set-off to the excessive destruc-
tion necessarily going on. For $50
years we have been telling the for
est; for the next $50 we should try
to restore what we have taken
away.
