Doubling.

Cherish your doubts. Be kind to
them. Do not smother them out with
conventionality. "Your doubts are the
brightest things about YOU" All truth
was once a. doubt in some ones mind.
Every reformation has been fathomed by
a doubt. Every improvement in society,
government or religion was born of a
doubt. The progressive philosophers
have looked on the old system with
doubt, and behold, new and better sys-
TENS have been born to the world.
Every invention has come to light be-
cause some one doubted the old and be-
heved in the new. Socrates, Plato, Kant,
Bacon, Newton, Darwin and Spencer
were men who questioned the present,
and so lifted up the future. Truth says ::
"The belief instilled into all of us when
we were exceedingly young was that
doubters would go to hell, sure. That
is to say, if very bad boy should be-
think him that some things taught to
him were strangely improbable, and
should really give his growing mind the
free rein of examination and doubt, when
he grew up to be a man, he would be
damned. Millions of us were taught at
school that to doubt now was to be
damned hereafter to believe now, to be
beautifed hereafter. There was no mid
die course. But, suppose the theory
that doubters lad no business in the do
main of thought had been applied to
secular as well as to sacred things?
Where would be Calico, Newton. Edi-
son, Columbus, and Christ, himself, &C.
cording to the gospels? Never check
your doubt; examine, investigate, rea-
son, prove-if possible. That is the
province of manhood no harm can
come of it." It may sound strangely,
but it is true, that the greatest doubter
is the greatest believer; but his belief is
in the future. He recognizes the good
Of to-day, but he questions if the best
has yet been realized and so out of this
doubt he builds for the coming day. Do
not quench your doubts. They contain
the seeds of your progress in every ele-
waited field. Your doubts are your re-
deemer. - Indianapolis Herald.

Timber In EurOpe.

Some European countries are almost
as bad off, as far as supply of timber is
concerned, as is the United States. Ac-
cording to French agricultural journal.
the oak of Sweden and Norway is
about exhausted, and they are compelled
to buy their wood in Poland, and the
pine is being rapidly removed. The
forests of Russia, along the shores of the
Baltic, in Finland and in the Southern
provinces, have been so rapidly thinned
that the forest area of the empire is now
only one-tenth. The forests of Germany
are well cared for, and there are now in
that empire about 81, 900, 900 acres of
forest lover half of which are in Prussia. J
valued at about $500, 100000, and pro-
dueing an income annually of nearly $50.-
100000. The greatest effort is made to
preserve the forests of Germany and tC,
increase the forest acreage (about $780,
900 being annually expended in replant-
ing by the State, and the imports exceed
the exports by over 1000 tons. There
are about $4,000, ZOO acres of forest in
Austria. Austria, however. has SO reck-
lessly cut her forests that she is obliged
TO buy most of her timber In Bosnia and
Montenegro. Servia, Roumania aid
Portugal have good forests, but the fine
forests of Italy and Spain are SO situated
that they cannot reach market when
cut. It would seem that the United
States might proftably follow the exam
pie of Germany and save her forests.
South Australia is at present engaged in
this work and planting trees on an ex-
tensive scale.-BOston Globe.

Married Bliss.

"You ought to get married, Bill, ;"
said Spuddles to a young friend of his
as the two were leaning over the front
gate of the Spuddles cottage, talking
about old times.

Atmosphere Of the Table.

It is impossible to estimate properly
the immense influence which is exerted
upon household by the atmosphere OF
the family table. If it be true that one
does Lot come out of room the same
person he went in, the mind ever after
retaining the impress of what affected il
there, what great results must be
achieved from the meeting three times a
day in the dining-room, from the con-
versation INDUCED in, and the sentiments
expressed there. A neat, well-ordered
table is in itself lesson to the chill
dren.
have noticed hat sensitive child
almost invariably has better manners
when dressed in his best, and have seen
with surprise the effect produced upon
a certain small boy of my acquaintance
by handsomely dressed ladies who are
polite to him. To the inviting table,
where there should always be something
attactive, however simple the meal may
be, most children will come prepared to
behave properly. It is really worth
while, and when philosopically consid-
cred, it is matter of great Importance
to lay aside as far as possible all thoughts
of hard work done before and to be done
after the meal, and to allow no vexatious
questions to be discussed at the time.
The habit of brooding over our work, and
exhausting ourselves by going all over
it in our minds, is one to be studiously
avoided There is nothing that takes
from ones energy more than this, and it

who comes to grief at the table, and is
sent away from it with his dinner half
eaten, and who suffers the whole after
noon with an undigested lump of food
in his stomach, is to be pitied, and it is
a wise plan to explain to the children
that in this way they will be punished
for bad conduct at the table
1t follows, then, that pleasant sur
prises in the way of preparing favorite
dishes, that good taste and much pains
taking in arranging all the appoint
ments of the table and dining-room,
rise above mere ministering to the an
imal existence. and affect the fine issues
of life. Good behavior and cheerful
ness ought to accompany each meal as
naturally and unwaveringly as bread
and butter. The happy laughter which
disturbs nervous force, and calls the
blood from the brain allowing the
stomach to get share, should be heard
more frequently at our tables. No ole

to save the grass and Kill the worms at
one time. Kerosene would destroy the
cabbage worm, but the best way to do
was to raise an eaf1y variety OF cabbage,
which would head out before the worms
got in their work. There is no possible
topical application which would meet the
case OF the ordinary orchard pests. They
could only be starved out. Buckwheat
is a. frst-class crop to raise, as insects
find no food in it. Repeated changes in
varieties of crops operate against the in
seets and Larvae. Farmers should pro-
tect their insect friends, such as the
lady-bug and the various parasitical in
sects which prey upon the cabbage but

The Old New York Journalists.

There are not many of the old guards
of journalism left. When l began life
in 1860, Bennett, Greeley, Raymond,
Bryant, Hallock, were the chiefs IN the
synagogue. Dana, Hurlbut, Halplnes
Wilson, Hudson and the SwintNus were
just behind them. Connery was report
ing, Reid was writing letters, Young was
reporting, Marble was assisting Goodwin,
Bundy was reporting, and the great
army of active men now the brains and
yirillty of the press were studying their
A b C's. Where be they now? Not one
editor-in-chief then in power is alive to-
day. Every one has departed. The
column-rults have been turned time ara
again. Eulogies have been preached,
leaders have blazoned their virtues and
state funerals have carried what is face
tiously termed their "remains to their
ultimate destination. Mr.. Bennett was
the only one who attained q good old
age. The fact is that as no candle can
last long with wick at both ends, so no
man who works day and night, 365 days
and 365 nights in every year, can expect
to keep pace with the ordinary chap who
goes to bed at ten and gets up for work
at seven. Yet who would exchange his
short and active life, with its fifty-yeaT

men down to an eightieth or even
