A Story With q Moral.

"Don't cross bridge until you
come to it." There was once Il man
and woman who planned to spend q
day at friends house, which was
some miles distant from their own.
So one pleasant morning they started
out to make the visit, but they had
not gone far before the woman remem-
bercd bridge they had to cross which
was very old, ami was said to be UNI
safe, and she began to worry about
it. 'What shall we do about that
bridge 2" she said to her husband. 81
shall never dare to go over it, and we
can't cross the river any other way"
"Oh," said the man; 81 forgot that
bridge; it is bad place. Suppose it
should break through? We should
be drowned. /" '.Or suppose you
should step OH rotten plank, aud
break your leg, what would become
of me and the baby?" 81 don't know"
said the man, "what would become of
any of us, for couldn't work, and we
should all starve to DEATH" So they
went on, worrying and worrying, till
they got to the bridge, when, 10 anu
behold they saw that since they had
been there last a new bridge had been
built, and they crossed over it in safe
ty, and found they might rs we'll have
saved themselves all their anxiety
Now, that is just what the proverb
means; never waste your worrying on
what you think may be possibly go
ing to happen; don't think, Suppose
it should rain tomorrow so that l
can't go out - OF, "What should do
if should have headache the day of
the party?" Half the time the trou-
bles we look for do not come, and, rs
we have said, it is never worth while
to worry about what may not hap
Den.

The Cultivation Of Forest Trees.

Professor T.. >. Sargent has un0er-
taken al enterprise in which he ought
to have the cooperation and support
of all thoughtful mcn-the collection
and dissemination of knowledge con-
cerning trees, and the promotion of
their systematic cultivation. The
dwcllers in our eastern States, remem-
boring tho vast wooded tracks which
yet lie at their doors, are apt to smile
incredulously at the notion that the
cultivation of trees can be . source of
much gain to them, but they may be
reminded that certain valuable kinds
of timber, as black walnut, beech, but
ternut, and bird's-eye maple, are near
ly extinct OH the Atlantic slope, while
their value has greatly increased, .
single log of figured black walnut
from the Ohio valley having recently
been sold for five thousand dollars, and
even then returning q handsome profit
in the sale of vencers and many new
species might be successfully intro
duced. But for the far West, from
the Mississippi to the Rocky Noun
tains, it may be said that forests are
the one great and crying need. Not
only as settlements Increase is the
want of timber severely felt, but the
terrible droughts which now rob the
fertile lands Of western Kansas, New
Mexico and Colorado of half their
value might be controlled by the sim
plest kind of tree planting, systemat-
ieally pursued, ana vast addition
made to the wealth of the continent.
How much may be effected even in q
short time by such work, thoughtful
ly carried out, is shown by the exam
pie of desolate and sterile valley in
the wild region of Barccllonettc in
the Lower Alps, which until 1868 was
almost anulaliv devastated by the in-
undations of the mountain torrent
which flowed through 1t. Its recla-
nation was begun by building dams
of stone across the torrent, which,
thus checked, expanded in time of
flood into II series of lakes, depositing
a fine alluvium, i'll which grass was
sown rs the waters reccded, followed
by bushes. which soon gained hold
sufficient to prevent their being swept
away by the now gentle current. The
growth of these itself moderated the
violence of fools, by returning the
melting of snow, and the descent OF
water from the slopes; and trees be-
gan to flourish, these multiplying in
geometrical ratio as their own good
effect increased, until now the once
bare valley is clothed with vegeta-
tion, the 1itful torrent has become
steady and quiet brook, and inunda-
tions have ccascd.-Anaeylc0n Aschi-

some OF the most cmlnent scientific
men now accept the view taken by
Adhenar, namely, that continents
have not been depressed, but over
flowed by the ocean. Owing to the
procession OF the eQuinOxes, the mass
Of water is transferred from one hemi-
sphere to the other once in 10, 500
years, and the sun remains eight days
longer in one hemisphere than in the
other. At the present time the VIM
tors- of the snHthern- pole are eight
days longer than with us; the ice
continent has consequently formed
there, and the mass OF ocean is to be
found in the southern hemisphere, and
the ice covers a space upon and around
the south pole more than twice the
area Of all Europe. The extreme of
cold at the Antarctic pole was reached
about 600 years ago, since which time
the climate has been becoming mi1der,
while that north Of the equator has
been growing colder. a1s F--.a

Gibraltar, the Lake Erie island
which lay Cooke made his summer
home in the days of his prosperity,
has had little attention of late. The
mansion still contains its fine furni-
turc, but has no tenant, and is only
opened at long intervals for an airing.
The once well-kept grounds. are a
wilderness. The only dwcller on the
island is Owen Brown, 4 SON OF John
Brown, the abolitionlst. A recent
visitor describes him as "tall and
stoop shouldercd, with II sandy beard,
in which lay few streaks of white.

that he had played part III such

a small salary as guardian OF the
property, and spends much OF his
time fishing.

"Helen,, and HeleHs ssBabies.S

"Jennie june" mentions day spent
not long ago with "Helen" and Hell
ems "babies." She says:
1t Is All open secret that "Helen" is
Mrs. John Habberton, the daughter
of q physician Of Hartford, Conn.,, and
the wifo of one Of the gentlemen con-
nected with the Now York Her0ld.-
Mrs. Habberton is a bright, sunny
tempered, sweet, yet thoroughly sen-
sible woman, who actually enjoys
living with and working for her chill
dren-tiie rarity Of the fact must be
the excuse for the emphasis put upon
it-and the comfort she gets out of
what so many other women consider
a burden, and care to be got rid of ut
any cost, it would do them a world of
good to sec. Yet her children are not
exceptions SO far as care and trouble
are concerned. They are exceptionally
bright; but one is an invalid, and an
other has 8 genius for doing things
quite equal to her immortal brothers.
But how easily care sits on Helen's
handsome shoulders! How constantly
she sympathizes, how cheerfully she
works with them; and when evening
comes, and they oil gather round the
piano in the parlOr of the "Home
Farm" she sings for them, and with
them, songs and hymns that send
them to rest full of happiness and
united affection. The author of "Hei-7
ems Babies" is the author of "Just
One Day"-a book SO full Of sympa-
thy with those trials aud details OF
wOman's life, OF which men usually
know little and care less, that no wo-
man could lave imagined man wrote
it. Yet il Was written by man, and
that man the father of '.Helen's ba-
bies," during al absence from his wife
and family. 1t is hard to tell which
is most to be congratulate "Helen,"
Helen's husband or "Helen's babies"
but it is good to know that behind.

A Mining Superstition.
Carbondaie UPa.) Cores pondence of tn
I oliis Rnaau llican

Carbondale (Pa.) Cores pondence of the ST.
Louis Republican.
Miners, especially those who have
come from foreign countries and rep
resent past generation of their class,
are given to many superstitious fears.
The younger miners-those born in
this country, and who have grown up
under the influence of its enlightcning
institutions-do not, as general
thing, share i'll this superstitious be-
lief, Il though some of them place as
much Importance on "slgns" and
"omens" of good and evil as do their
more ignorant ancestors. Among the
superstitiOns cherished by miners is
that of wl,istling ina mine. To whis-
tie in a mine is considered an evil
omen. Miners never whistle while at
work. Sometimes they sing while
toiling in the dark, damp, narrow
chamber of the mines, hundreds of
feet below the surface, but never loud
ly, and only plaintive folk songs
and ballads that have been crOOned
over the cradles of generations of their
class. 1t is singular fact that, de-
spite the peril that constantly bescts
him in the mine, the coal-niner is al
ways cheerful amid it all. Let one
who may visit mine but whistle
while among the workmcn, and the
cheerfulness he has noticed as charac-
terizing them will be gone at once
Most all old miners believe that a
'good luck spirit" Turks in every
mine, and that at sound of whistling
it flies and leaves the miners ut the
mercy of the spirit of evil. II ill be-
falls any of the workmen that day the
believers in the superstition ascribe its
cause entirely to the frightening away
of the good luck spirit by the fatal
whistle.
In 1910 there was great mine dis
aster at this place. Several miners
were buried in one Of the Delaware
and Hudson Canal Company's mi hes
by q sudden caving-in OF the roof

WASHINGTON Clerks.


ton Neacs SAYS: For set of people
who take life easily at all times, but
especially In hot weather, commend
me to the clerks i'll the departments
here. The hours Of duty At tho long,
est are only from y O'Clock In the
morning Until 4 In the afternoon, and
Mondays they are let of ats Ont Of
these six scant hours-for many clerks
are not very prompt III getting around
in the lnoriling-they are allowed
time enough tor lunch at noon, and
YOU seldom see one who looks ~
though he had to work very hari any
Of the time. With some exceptions
the rooms in these great buildings,
with their massive wallis, are about as
cool places as one can find on hot
day. Then, too, clerk Is granted a
months vacation every year on full
pay, which he can take whom and as
he pleases. Altogether there certainly
does seem a good deal that Is agrcea-
BILE about o place in one of the depart
ments, especially good paying
place. If there were . fixed tenure of
office and regular system of promo
tions, so that faithful worker might
expect to rise steadily, there would
not be a more comfortable way Of
making a living for q man who
had no special ambition. As it is,
there is another and sadder side of
the story. There is no assurance of
permanence. A man may work faith
iully for years; he may bring his
family here anu set up his home; he
may come to regard himself fixture,
and then, all OF u sudden OF a morning
he may find himself turned adriIt.-
1 heard very sad case of just this
sort only the other day, where man
was discharged after twenty years
faithful service simply because there
was nothing more to do. He is a man
in niddle life, too old to start i'll any
business, and untitled for any other
occupation by score Of years in
clerkship, and one does not wonder
that he declares that lie will solemn-
ly warn every young man whom he
can influence against ever taking .
position in one Of the departments.
