WHERE Our FORESTS Go.-To show
where our forests go we will enumerate a few
items To make shoe pegs enough for
American use consumes annually 100000
cords of timber, and to make our lucifer
matches 800 900 cubic feet of the best pine
are required every year. Lasts and boot trees
take 500, 900 cords Of birch, beech and maple,
and the handles of tools 5000 more. The
baking ofour bricks consumes 1000, 900 cords
of wood, or what would cover with forests
about so, 600 acres of land. Telegraph poles
already up represent 800, 900 trees, and their
annual repair consumes about 300, 900 more.
The ties of our railroad consume annually
thirty years growth of $4,000 acres, and to
fence all our railroads would cost $45 600 900,
with yearly expenditure of 15,000000 for
repairs. These are some of the ways in which
American forests are going. There are
others. Our packing boxes, for instance,
cost in 1874, $12,000,000, while the timber
used each year in making wagons and agri-
cultural implements is valued at more than
500, 100000

MISCELLANY.
DETESTABLE QUALITIES OF THE
CIGARETTE

ran across cigarette factory the other
day. Whew wouldn't write--or, rather,
you wouldn't dare print what saw Dirty
butts of cigars fresh from the filth of the mud
dy streets, are the cleanest and incest of the
material used compiling these precious roads
to ruin. | came down on Madison avenue
car this evening, and on the tail end there
were three little chaps, the eldest about IA
Each smoked cigarette and spat his little
life away. ventured to ask if they enjoyed
the odor. They said they did. And the
taste? Certainly. On inquring, l found
they had well-known brand of cigarette,
noted for its "opium soak " and its terrible
smell while burning. Poor little devils. They
can't last long. They were pale and sickly,
puny and offensive. What kind of men will
they make? Men? They re men already in
their own eyes. They and majority of our
little lads are full of the slang of the day, up
in all the catches and abundantly able to hold
up their end of conversation. | subsequently
saw these three boys In Niblo's Garden. 1t
would have done you good to hear them talk
A blind man might reasonably think he was
listening to three old men. Nothing was
new. They had seen it all before, and better
done at that. Down went the curtain, out
went the boys, but before they felt the first
breath of the fresh air from the street, each
puny hand held cigarette to the vile smell
ing mouth, and puff puff they sickened
everybody in their vicinity. This is an old
grievance of mine and Idont care to bore you
with it, but feel 1t ketnly. Day by day the
vice grows stronger. There was time when
cigarette smoking was confined almost en-
trely to Cubans, who knew what good to-
bacco was aud made their own cigarettes
suit. Makers became Inscriptions. Little
dirty boys were sent out to pick up cigar
stumps. Other equally disgusting material
was also utilized Opium was made to do
duty. Cheap paper took the place of rice pa
per. I wish these boys could see the stuff
their paper is made from. Wouldn't it turn
their little stomachs? trow, trow. The
cheap paper, the old stumps, the opium and
the chemicals used to make them "strong !"
deserve to be shown up. Parents have no in
fluence with their sons. Why note Because
they smoke cigars or pipes themselves. The
boys charge all the good advice they get to
their fathers desire to keep them down.
There is but one way to deal with American
boys. Reoson with them through their eyes.
If every nicotined stomach was made public,
If every time fellow died of too much cigar
cite the fact was made known, if the proud
boys could be shown rag factory and stump
grndery, it seems to me the cigarette business
would be wound up very soon.-P philadelphia

THE PAPER BAG. triumph of ma

Of simple articles is we'll illustrated in the
history Of the paper bag. Twenty five years
ago the limited amount of paper bags in use
was made by hand, and it probably never oc-
CURED to the ninety -and-nne conservative
ones that there was any necessity of improv-
ing the method. II would certainly never
pay to apply machinery to so insignificant an
article as paper bag-a mere joining OF
paste and paper Yet inventive skill tried its
hand, and the result was a machine capable
of turning off 100, 900 bags day. What fol
lowed was the same, as in hundreds Of in
dustries similarly affected. Bag factories
sprang up, and no sooner did the supply exist
than demand was created. New uses were
discovered for the article, and to-. day the an
nual consumption in the United States, in
round numbers, is 1000, 900, 600. At the
same time, the price has been reduced to a
mere fraction above the cost of the paper.

POETRY.
OUR ANGELS.

oh not with any sound they come or sign;
Which hesby ear eye recognize;
No curiosity can compass surprise
The secret OF that intercourse divine
Which God permits, ordans, across the line
The changeless line which bars
Our Earth from other stars.
But they do come AMI go continually,
Our blessed angels no less ours than His;
The blessed angels whom we think We miss;
Whose empty graves we weep TO name or see,
And vainly watch, as once in Gailee
One, weeping, watched in vain,
Where her lost Christ had lain
Whenever in some bitter grief we find,
All unawares, n deep, mysterious sense
OF hidden comfort come, we know not whence
When suddenly we see, where we were blind
Where we had struggled, are content, resigned,
Are strong where were weak
AND no more strive or seek
Then we may know that from the far glad skies,
To note our need. the watch full God has bent
And for our instant help has called and sent,
OF all our loyins angels, tne most wise
And tender one, to point to us where lies
The path that will be best,
The path OF peace and rest

4. Active. 8. Polite.
5. Industrious. 10. Nent.
One thousand flrst-rate places are open for
one thousand boys who come up to the stand

Many of these places are trades, and are al
ready filled by boys who lack some of the
vacant One has an office where the lad who
has the situation is losing his first point. He
likes to attend the drinking saloon and the
theatre. This costs more money than he can
afford, but somehow he manages to be there
frequently. His employers are quietly watch
ing to learn how he gets so much spending
money They will soon discover leak in
the ney-drawer, detect the dishonest boy,
and his place will be ready for some one who
is now getting ready for it by observing point
No 1 and being truthful in all his ways.
Some situations will be vacant because the
boys have been poisoned by reading bad
books, such as they would not dare to show
their fathers and would be ashamed to have
their mothers see. The impure thought sug-
gested by these books will lead to vicious
acts the boys win be ruined, and their places
must be filled. Who will be ready for one OF
these vacancies?
Distinguished lawyers, skillful physicians,
successful merchants, must all soon leave their
places for somebody else to fill, as one by one
they are removed by death?
Mind your ten points, boys; they will pre-
pare you TO step into vacancies in the front
rank.--Nelo York Observer.
