How to Prevent Pauperism.

Mr.. Paine, agent and advocate of an
association designed to aid in prevent
ing paupersm, gives expression to the
following sentiments:
When Il family has fallen to where
it needs relief, some one, either from
an organization or ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
visit it and care for it in the capacity
of a sympathetic, intelligent, patient
friend, and do all possible to discover
and remove the cause Of the distress,
so that the family NAV be raised again
to self-support and selfrespect. No
one who has not lived or worked among
the poor can realize how destructive Of
physical, mental and moral energy and
of self respect, are the steps by which
respectable people often get down to
abject pauperism. A mechanic, clerk
or other man, whose family is depend
ent on his weekly wages for support, is
generally reduced to deplorable con-
dition by sickness OF temporary loss Of
employment. Even the best Of such
men soon find credit exhausted, bOr-
rowing cannot long he practiced, every
resort to the pawn-broker increases the
family discomfort, the rent becomes
due, the family is turned into the street
and pawns or sells most of the little
that remains, so as to secure another
abode, and the misery increases from
day to day. A man in such condition,
no matter how good stuff may be in
him, is exactly like Il traveller lost in
the forest or on the prairie; his wits
become dazed, and lie soon falls into
desperation Or apathy; in either case
he is likely to become drunkard, a
thief or a suicide. Thousands of bus
iness men of high social and intellect.
ual standing have gone the same way,
for the limit of endurance under great
stress is painfully near every man.

Timber Plarting National Necessity

The Chicago Lumbermen's Exchange,
at its last meeting in Chicago, revealed
the startling statement that owing to
the enormous growth of the lumber
business il will take only twenty years
to exhaust the pine forests of the
United States of America. If the
present rate of depletion continues, in
the course of five years all the black
walnut timber large enough for logs
will be used up; also the way our oak
timbers are being used up for railroad
ties, cooperage and other purposes, in
the course of forty years our forests of
oak will be consumed. Other varie-
ties of timber are disappearing in pro-
portion to the above named varieties.
1t becomes every American philan-
thronist, male or female, old or young
to commence forest tree planting i'm
mediately. q,
~ is said that every tree plantel is q
livir Fmonument to the planter. Let
us isli have some living forest tree
moihuments to let future generations
knd'w that we are here and have done
in our day and generation
for our country's good. The leading

toplant, that will make the quickest
returns, is the easiest grown and will
be worth the most money.
Catalpa speciosa, or western catalpa
is decidedly the best. Indigenous to
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Iowa
and Wisconsin, there are trees being
found in the forests as large as our
largest oaks or walnuts. The timber
has been known to last from fifty to
one hundred years, without rotting in
the least set in the ground for stock
AIDES, gate posts, bar posts, fence posts,
foot legs, etc. Its growth is more
rapid than soft maple. One tree forty
years Old, planted by a. Bryant, ST., of
Princeton, Bureau county, H., is three
feet in diameter and fifty or more in
height, standing on his front lawn 1t
is a beautiful towering tree, very fra
grant when in blossom. The foliage is
as large as the sunllower, and, like the
sunnOwer, has a tendency to draw the
impurities from the atmosphere and
make the general health Of the people
better in the community where it is
extensively grown. 1t will succeed
well on any of the bottom lands of the
great Mississippi, Missouri, Illinois,
Ohio, or any of the high prairies of the
West Any lands where soft maple or
cottonwood will grow successfully the
caialpa can be grown. The catalpa
timber being imperishable under or
lying on the glound, it can be used for
the following purposes, to wit; rail-
r)ad ties, telegraph posts, hoop poles,
lumber for canoes, skills, shingles,
weather boarding, coOperage, water
Canks, framing jimber for bridges,
piles, the manufacture Of railroad cars,
lumber for sidewalks, pump stocks,
mdertakers stock, etc.
Instructions to planters: Plough as
you would for corn; harrow WELL;
mark off three and u half feet each
way; plant as early in the spring as
the ground will work well; use one

been done in a vein of deep ridicule, a
style Of attack to which the poor dear

The Sacramento Bee says 1t is quite
apparent that David Davis does not feel
that, in accepting the Presidency of the
Senate, he has committed himself to the
support Of partisan measures. In ASSUME
ing the chair he assured the Senate that
IL the compliment conveyed in his cleo
ton had carried any party obligation
with it he should have felt constrained
to decline il. The situation is a novel
one in the history of legislative bodies.
Standing entirely alone in the Senate,
without a party or a follower, this man
finds himself elevated to the position Of
presiding officer Of that body and stand
ing next to the Chief Magistrate of the
nation. His election, moreover, appears
to suit the Democrats as we'll as the Re.
publicans; for, although the former did
not vote for him, there is every reason to
believe that they agreed among them
selves not to attempt to place any serious
obstacles in the way of his election. This
view is warranted by the fact Of their
declining to enforce the one-day rule on
Edmunds' resolution providing for his
election, which would have entitled Bay
ard to fill the vacancies on the several
standing committees. There can be little
doubt that Davis will preserve strict i'm
Partially in dealing with the evenly.
divided political bodies in the Senate.
This may not suit the politicians of the
country, but it will suit the people. The
latter are wearied with partisan agitation
and Senatorial deadlocks. With Davis
in the chair, both parties will under.
stand that the usual ''tomfoolery" will
not be permitted. The country has, we
think, reason to congratulate itself that
the time has come when q man can be
found in a position of power and honor
who owes allegiance to no party, but is
guided by a desire to do that which
would be for the best interests Of the
whole people.
