Easy Hour, in recent issue says: "But
one of the most important Developments
concerning ST. JACOBS OIL is the discovery
that it has properties which are beneficial
to the animal as well as to the human
species. 1t has, Of late, been in active de-
mand among livery men and others for use
on horses suffering from sprains or abra-
sions. The most prominent instance known
Of in this connection, is that related by Mr..
David Walton, well-known Friend, who
keeps livery stable at 1245 North Twelfth
street. Mr.. Walton states that he was
boarding a valuable horse belonging to
Benjamin McClurg, also a resident of
North Twelfth street. A few weeks ago
the animal slipped and badly spraincd his
leg, making him very lame, MI Walton
used two bottles Of ST, JACOBS on on the
animal and found within less than one

we DO not often speak Of any proprietary
medicine, but from what we have read and
heard of Aliens Lung Balsam, we shall take
the liberty of saying to those who are troubled
with cold, cough, or any throat or lung affec-
ton, that from the testimony afforded, we have
such confidence in this article, that were we
afflicted in that way, we would make trial OF
its virtues. Beware Of the fatal consequence
of neglecting this timely warning. Now, be-
fore it is too late, use Aliens Lung Balsam,
which will cure the disease. Every druggist
in the land sells it.

The Bad Boy Of America.

The badness of the bad boy of America
not necessarily the American bad boy
is acknowledged on all hands. He does
not cease to be bad when he ceases to be
a bow From the street-corner rowdy he
graduates as saloon sluggard, the ward
politician, and the sand-lot hoodlum. He
he is the same in large cities of the Unit
ed States; he is the same in the smaller
cities and villages, or little worse.
Whether his local name is "hoodlum," :"
'1arekin," "blood-tub," ''plugugly,'
"dead rabbit" hummer" ''loafer," or
"bowery- boy" he is sui generis, and has
no counterpart in any other part of the
world He respects neither God nor man;
neither the bald head of the prophet nor
the glass of the philosopher. Elisha's
she bears would have no terrors for him.
His theoretical knowledge of hunting,
derived from the study of dime novels,
and his practical skill with weapons, give
him such confidence in himself that if
warned of the punishment upon the tor
menters of Elisha, he would coolly reply,
''Trot out your she bears!" The bad boy
has no contemporary in any other part Of
the world. In Europe youth is docile
and respectful; in Asia and Africa child
hood or youth is in keeping with its sur
roundings; but the bad boy of America
is an anachronism; he is savagely grow
ing up in the midst of civilization, i'm
piety mocking at religion, lawlessness
pulling at the gown and wig of Of law,
and licence masquerading in the costume
of liberty. His mother is the "old
woman" his father is dad" his Ian
guage is slang and profanity, his amuse-
ment is violence, his religion and educa-
tion blank, and, worst of all he is Pc
culiar to the United States of North
America. E. Journal.

How Our Forests Are Used Up.


Our forests are rapidly going, while
no adequate provision is being made to
restore them. The state OF New York
has a great park full Of timber in the
northern wilderness, but annual fires are
making havoc in that region. The great
woods are losing more than they gain
from annual growth. Wood is becom-
ing more scarce and inaccessible every
wear. In many states the forests on level
ground have mostly disappeared. and
only remain upon high hills or mountains,
which are not easily accessible. The
Monetary Times" tells how the forests
disappear.
To make shoe pegs enough for Ameri-
can use consumes annually 100, 900 cords of
timber, and to make our lucifer matches,
800, 900 cubic feet of the bert pine are re-
quired every year. Lasts and boots trees
take 800, 900 cords of birch. and maple,
and the handles of tools SOC, 900 more.
The baking of our bricks consume q
600, 900 cords of wood, or what would
cover with forest about 80, 1000 acres of
land. Telegraph poles up already repre-
sent 800 900 trees, and their annual repair
consumes annually thirty years growth
of 70, 900 acres, and to fence all our rail-
roads would cost $45, ,000. 900, with a year
ly expenditure of $15, 10000 for repairs.
In ths Northwest there has been very
rapid destruction of the forests, and
much solicitude is felt as to the future
source of timber supply. Straw lumber
has been manufactured to some extent
in Kansas, and is said to answer the pur-
pose very well. Straw lumber may be
the lumber of the future. The refuse
straw from the great grain. producing
States of the West will be utilized. In
stead of raising trees, the land can be
devoted to grain, which may be sold, ano
the straw used for lumber. Coal for fue
and straw for inside finishing may re
lieve the pressure on the forests and give
them a chance to grow.

to men in Bridgeport and elsewhere with
