Fur-lined circulars are not so fashionable
as they were last year for street wraps. They
are nevertheless highly popular for carriage
and evening wear, being easily laid aside in
heated room. There seems to be a sur
prising range in the price of these cloaks.
The cost seems to be determined more by the
quality of the lining than by the fineness Of
the outside material. The remarkably cheap
cloaks with white fur Innings are very pretty
to look at. but the fur quickly begins to come
off upon the dress, and soon has NANCY

Associate Justice Strong, Of the United

from the bench, having reached the age of 20
years and being entitled to retire on full pay.
Associate Justice Clifford, who was stricken

rapid increase has been going on during
recent years in the amount of freight regarded
as the maximum load Of car. Formerly
10000 pounds was the limit; now, according
to the Western Weighing Association, the
average of the different classes of freight as
determined by the weights of $4,000 cars
weighed during period of six weeks, was
from 23.750 for machinery to 20 1925 for ore,
the maximum in nearly all cases exceeding
10000 pounds. Certain classes of freight
reached. respectively, as high as IS 900, 81
$50, 80 600, and even, in the case or ore, to
the enormous weight of AZ, 500 pounds, or
more than "a tons. The superintendent OF
the Association is satisfied that the various
articles of freight enumerated. 20 in number,
will average fully $1,000 pounds per car, and
the whole will not average less than 5000
pounds per car. The fact that such loads can
be safely carried now is due to the vastly
improved condition of tracks - we'll y to the
heavier construction Of the car.

The unusual demand for lumber consequent
upon the revival of business has again
brought up the question frequently asked be-
fore, whether our forests will not presently
become exhausted. In this connection an ex-
change states that in the four great timber
States-Maine, Michigan, Wisconsin and
Minnesota-the demand for white pine is so
great that it is feared the supply will not last
more than six years at the present rate Of
consumption. In Canada it is said that there
is not enough of spruce, pine, hemlock, ash,
oak, elm and other commercial woods to sup
ply the United States for three years. The
value of the annual cutting from American
forests is nearly 81 200, 900, 900 and over l00.-
900 cords OF wood are consumed for fuel.

BUILDING ON THE SAND.

'1is we'll to WOO, ts well to wed,
For so the world hath done
Since myrtles grew, and roses blew,
And morning brought the sun.
But have care, ye young and fair
BE sure you pledge with.truth
Te certain that your love will wear
Beyond the days of youth
For If We give not heart for heart,
As well as hand for hand,
You'll find you've played the unwise part,
And built upon the sand.
IT'S well to save 'Tis well to have
A goodly store of gold.
And hold enough of shining stuff,
For charity is cold.
But place not all your hope and trust
In what the deep mine brings;
We cannot live on yellow dust,
Unmixed with purer things
And he who piles up wealth alone,
Will often have to stand
Beside his Golfer chest, and own
"Tis built upon the sand.
It's good to speak in kindly guise;
And soothe where'er we can;
Fair speech should bind the human mind,
And love link man to man.
But stay not at the gentle words,
Lot the deed with language dwell;
The ono who pities starving birds
Should scatter crumbs as well.
The mercy that warm and true
Must lend helping hand,
For those who talk, yet fail to do,
But build upon the sand.

From the Pittsburg Dispatch:
The train was delayed several hours.
There were but halfs . dozen passengers
all told and they all got out on the little
station platform. In looking down the
valley from the station ('rruckee is away
up in the mountains on the main line
of the Central Pacific Railroad we could
see some kind Of an animal coming down
out of the timber and making its way
over the top Of the snow towards the
river. It looked like Q steer or q mule,
and none Of the travellers thoughtit it was
anything olse. The snow was about four
feet deep and frozen 80 hard that one
could walk over the top of it without
breaking through. Captain Vincent
Yore, ofSt. Louis, . man we'll known in
steamboat circles both in st. Louis and
in Pittsburg, and in fact oil along the
river, was one of the passengers. There
is considerable of the daredevil under

the upper Missouri in bis early days and
attended many an Indian council along
with General Sherman when the General
lived in st. Louis. Yore was returning
from San Francisco, where he had beer
to settle some railroad business for st.
Louis parties, and was fixed up neat and
bright as a new pin. He spied th'
animal and said he thought it was q
bear, and that if he had gun he would
90 down and shoot it. We all laughed
at him, for he did not look much like q
