Timber in EurODe.

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 100000 acres of
forest lover half of which are in Prussia, }
valued at about $40O, 100000 and pro-
ducing an income annually of nearly $50,
100000. The greatest effort is made to
preserve the forests of Germany and to
increase the forest acreage (about $500,
600 being annually expended In replant-
ing by the State, and the imports exceed
the exports by over 1000 tons. There
are about 5000, 900 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. Seryia, 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.-B0ston Globe.

Origin OF Smother Evening" -

There was once wicked king who
hired a wicked murderer to smother two
little princes in q great big tower. So
the wicked murderer went to do his
work with two fine goose feather pillows.
The little princes tried to melt the iron
heart of the wicked murderer, but they
had no fire to put the heart in, and could
not do it, and he got ready to finish his
job. When he came to them they wept
piteously, and cried, ooh, do not kill
us. Not this evening"" Then the
wicked murderer laughed bitterly, and
said, "Aha, not this evening? Smother
evening"" And the little princes not
knowing what pun was, because thew
were good Sunday-schooi children. both
cried, "Oh, yes, dear, good, kind man.
some other evening"" Then he laughed
loudly again, and repeated, Smother
evening"" and in q few minutes thew
were both ready for the undertaken, who
was standing at the front door kicking
his toes against the brick wall to keep his
feet warm, and swinging his silver
mounted tape measure in his hand.

The idol OF Hindoo Women.

Hindoo girls are taught to think of mar
riage almost as soon as they can talk /; in
deed, they are often contracted in mar
riage at six or seven years of age, and
go to live with their husbands at twelve
or thirteen. Before this, at the age Of
five, they are taught to propitate the
gods in order to secure a good husband,
and their little minds are distracted by
the idea of what a model husband ought
to be. The orthodox conception is q
husband like the god silva, who was holy,
austere, advanced in years, and faithful
and devoted to one wife, the goddess
Doorga. Good little girls revolt at the
idea of husband marrying a second
wife while the first is alive, and will con-
sequently confess their anxiety to marry
a faithful spouse like silva, and they
learn from their elders to utter the most
vindictive speeches against their rival
wife. But, for all that, Krishna is the
idol of Hindoo women, and he was any
thing but faithful to one wife. He not
only kicked over her milk pans, ran
away with the clothes of the milk maids,
but danced and firted with other mems
wives, eloped with royal damsels, and
married an infinite number of beautiful
women,

Covering Boilers with Silk.

It is well known that silk is an excel
lent non-conductor of heat, and some
recent experiments in Germany would
seem to indicate that it might pay to
incase boilers in this costly material
In one trial three boilers of the same
size and make were ranged in order, one
covered with the ordinary felt, another
with a coating of silk only fve-eighths
of the thickness of the felt, while the
third was left altogether uncovered.
They were all filled with water having
temperature of 100 degrees Centigrade,
and examined at intervals. After the
lapse of three hours it was found that
the unprotected boiler had lost twelve
degrees of heat, and the other two each
two degrees. After further lapse of
thirty three hours, the felt-covered boiler
! had lost thirteen and half degrees, and
that covered with silk only fourteen, SO
that there was no appreciable difference
between the protective powers of the silk
and those of a casing of felt nearly twice
its thickness. With regard to the cost
of the material, it is said that in all silk
| manufactures there are waste scraps
which it would be difficult or impossible
| to utilize in the trade. These can, it is
| asserted, be made up into bands and
rolls, costing comparatively little, and
sold at profit to the makers and users
of boilers. AS to the lasting and wear
ing powers of silk as compared with felt,
nothing is said, and there has not, per-
haps, been time to apply an adequate
| test but it is, at the least, possible that
in this respect the finer substance may
possess great advantages over the coarser
and cheaper.

Near.SightedDess.

Education may create discomforts as
well as secure great advantages. The
German nation is threatened with a pc
culiar trouble of the eyes, as a penalty
for reading badly printed books and for
unwise methods of study. A careful in
vestigation of the schools by competent
physicians has revealed the unpleasant
fact that near -sightedness is growing
common, and may become universal.
In children of five years and under, it
was rarely found the vision was quite
perfect. In the lower schools, from fif-
teen to twenty per cent. of the scholars
were effected; in the higher schools,
from forty to fifty per cent. In the
theological department of the University,
seventy per cent. of the students were
troubled and in the medical department
the misfortune was almost universal,
only five per cent. not being thus
afflicted.
The physicians ascribe the difficulty
to the practice of holding the books too
near the eyes, and the practice is due in
large measure to the poor print of
cheap books.
The trouble is increasing in our own
country, and it might be wise to have a
similar examination of our own schools
by skillful physicians, in order to call
public attention to the evil.-Morgaa-

Women for Canada.

Newspapers, like all other embodi-
ments of enterprise, can occasionally
indulge in conclusions in predicting that
the manifest destiny of at least one-half
of Canada's population was to emigrate
to the United States. The foundation
for this assertion is found in the advice
of the Marquis of Lorne, who presses
the necessity of English women emil
grating to Canada. The Governor-G Gen
eral, like wise Canadian, suggests that
such emigration should be encouraged.
Although English women of the class
who would be likely to emigrate of their
own free will would find the United
States more promising destination than
Canada, they will undoubtedly in Canada
exert a favorable influence on the popu-
lation, for they will not only keep at
least an equal number of young men
from straying South of the st. Lawrence,
but they will cause many Americans to
make excuses for visiting the Dominion.
Canada may not for her own sake be
particularly attractive to Americans, but
if ship-loads of manageable English
women are to land there, young Amer
leans may be depended upon to be there
in force to look at them. Canada never
made wiser move.-M Y. Herald.

Win Railroad Ever Cross the Sahara

Some years ago Victor Hugo made an
after dinner speech in relation to the
possible future of Africa, which was
ridiculed even by people possessed of an
intelligent imagination. The ground
which the great poet took was that, per-
haps many centuries hence, Africa would
develop d civilization of her own as
wonderful in its way as any civilization
that has yet existed. Surely, it is not
more remarkable that in course of time a
highly cultivated race should develop
from negroes than that human beings be
evolved from the quadrumana-and the
latter is theory almost universally ac-
cepted at present by the scientific
world. 1t is not known whether the
project in contemplation by the French,
of building q railroad across the Sahara
will have any effect in Fastening the
realization of Victor Hugo's dream. The
idea is to construct a road of this kind
from the head-waters of the Niger to
the French possessions in Africa, and
then to form union with another rail
road running east from Senegal. There
are numerous obstacles at present in the
way of this project being carried out.
1t has long been cherised by the French
nation, however, and there is every
probability that it will one day be fully
carried out.

Reward Of Industry.

A poor friendless lad might have been
seen wandering along the streets looking
for employment. He presently halted
in front Of butcher shop, and, walking
boldly up to the proprietor, asked for
job. There was something in the young
mau's frank, honest countenance, which
struck the proprietor favorably,
sNot afraid of hard work p he asked,
"No," responded the lad with a
trembling voice. 81 have supported my
mother and two sisters for five years by
hard work"
He was put on trial at SIS week maui
ing leathery beef, and his sturdy frame
and healthy constitution came in good
play. One day an old lady came in to
get some beef, and the proprietor told
him to attend to the customer.
"A tenderloin steak, if you please, !"
said she.
"Here's a cut that nobody but the
first families get," responded the boy
smilingly as he sliced off four pounds of
tough round and cast it with heavy
hand on the scales, jamming it down
with a quick, dexterous movement, until
the indicator marked six even pounds.
Then he snatched it off before the deli
cate machinery, used to weigh beef, had
time to recoil.
"Six pounds and half, madam" he
said, looking her square in the face with
his clear blue eyes.
The proprietor of the stall called him
| in that night, and remarking that he had
| watched his course carefully, added that
as a reward for his quick, comprehensive
grasp of the business he would raise his
salary to S25 per week. This shows the
advantage of doing everything well, and
when the boys mother back in New Jer-
sey hears of bis success there will be Joy
in that household. Young men starting
out in life should learn to adapt them
selves to their surroundings and never
let an opportunity pass.-SaH Lake

Grouping the Hair.

Atlength it appears, says an exchange,
that a radical change in the fashion OF
arranging woman's greatest glory, her
hair, is really to take place. We hear
rumors of impending innovation from
headquarters = in other words, from
Paris. It is probable, though, that they
will here be simply voices In the air and
nothing more for some time still. First,
because a new fashion never gets fairly
started with us until it is almost an old
one on the other side (this statement
may sound both unfair and unpleasant,
but it is literally exact, nevertheless),
and then become the close, prlm, de-
mure little couture a rAngtaise which
is now worn, and has been for the past
two years or more, is exceptionally
suited to the small, delicate head and
slim face of the average American
woman. It is not SO well suited to the
piquant, irregular-featured "minors" of
the Parisieanes, however. Therefore
they have begun to adopt looser, softer,
less severe style Of couture. ......
The hair will, during the winter, it
seems, be worn lower on the neck In
coils, braids, or curls, and in the even
ing, when flowers are added, they will
be mounted in trailing sprays and gar
lands, to fall gracely on the said coils,
braids, or curls. The latter (the curls)
are apparently destined again to most
especial favor. And there have been re-
Gently number of young ladies seen
abroad with their hair cropped short
like boys, and curled in fluffy rings
all over the head, after that same fashion
so very much in vogue about ten years
ago.
There are faces to which it is an un-
deniably becoming couture, this. But
as to its being generally becoming, or
even remotely so-that is not, assuredly.
A blonde, rather small and delicate and
vivacious, with eyes soft, silky hair, and
rather child-like face, perhaps, looks
most charming with her sunny halo Of
clustering rings, quite a cherub, and
probably ten years younger than she is.
We knew Polish lady some few
years ago, with a pretty, pale, spiritu-
ellie face, ash-blonde hair, dark-brown
eyes, and mole on her left cheek, who
had adopted this coifure, with black
velvet and blue ribbon passed across the
front occasionally, and it suited her to
absolute perfection. But then there are
hosts of women who, after they have
made the sacrifice of hair for passing
of fashion, look anything but well with
cropped and curly heads-in fact, look
quite decidedly the opposite from well.
And it is no small sacrifice for woman
with fine suit of hair to have it cut off,
either. The result should pay very well
to make the performance at all satisfac-
tory. It is one of those cases in which
the immortal Shakespeare's counsel to
look before we leap may be pondered
with good effect.

The Don't-You-Know" Young Man.

One of the most conspicuous objects
in certain circles of society at the PIES
ent time is the "Don't you know" young
man. He ranks along with the youth
who carries his coat on his arm and
smokes cigarettes on the back platforms
of street cars. If you meet him in the
morning he greets you by remarking
''This is fine day, don't you know"
His last salutation at nights to the effect
that he wishes you ''a very good even
ing, don't you know" He goes down
on Third street just before noon and tells
his broker to "buy me some Wabash,
don't you know" It matters not where
he goes, his "don't you know" goes
with him. He beams down upon his
partner at the ball and as he places his
arm around the butterfiy's waist, re-
marks "Im very fond of waltzing,
don't you know" He bows graciously
to his friend in the pew behind him
after service is over on Sunday and
thinks "the sermon was rather tedious,
don't you know" When his fond parents
conclude it is about time he honors soci
ETY. and some millionaire's daughter by
getting married he breaches the matter
to the girl in question by informing her
that 81 love you, don't you know"
Everybody knows him by his "don't
you know" and those who are sensible
of the ludicrous, as we'll as ridiculous,
have his expression for by-word and
get lots of fun out of him. But he is
obl1vious to it all. He deems his phrase
very neat and very fashionable and
would not drop it 6" for the world, don't
you know" So he dons his stitched
backed gloves, twirls his natty little
cane, and starts out every day to see what
is "going on down town, don't you
know" He is one of the features of
the times and must be recognized in any
summary of the oddities of humanity.
The "don't-you-know" young man must
be heard to be appreciated, and he is
sure to be appreciated, in one way or
another, when he is heard. For he is
character. "don't you know. Penn

A New York Preacher.

A New York preacher, in sermon to
young ladies, repeated few of the
pungent things that had been said about
their sex. One writer he quoted as the
author of the disrespectful proverb:
There were only two good women.
One is dead and the other was never
found" The Chinese say that woman's
tongue is her sword. and she never lets
it rest. DIR. Payson wrote: ''A welded
man is like bird with q broken wing
He may futter, but he never can fly. 7"
Among the Amazonians candidates for
nuptial honors had their hands tied in a
paper bag filled with fire ants. If they
survived the painful ordeal they were
considered fitted for the trials of matri-
mony. The following are some of the
pertinent SMILES employed: "Woman
is like the snail because she loves her
own house best; and she is unlike the
snail, who carries all he possesses upon
his back. She is like an echo, which
speaks when spoken to, and unlike the
echo, which always has the last word.
She is like the town clock, which per-
forms its work regularly, and on time,
and unlike it because her voice is not
heard all over the city"

A Boys Luck.

The Norristown (Pa.) Herald in a
recent issue referred among others, to
the following cases of special interest.
They are their own commentary. Mr..
Samuel G. Nyce resides at 3OS Marshall
street, and holds the responsible position
of journal clerk in the Pennsylvania
Legislature, at Harrisburg. While Mr..
Nyce and family were in the country
recently, his boy. aged three years, fell
and broke his leg. He recovered, but a
very troublesome stiffness set in and he
could scarcely use the leg. The injured
limb was rubbed several times with St.
Jacobs Oil, and the stiffness was SO much
reduced that the boy was able to use his
leg freely. DIR. Knipe said it was the use
of st. Jacobs Oil that cured the stiff.
ness. Mr.. Nyce himself used the Great
German Remedy for toothache with good
effect, and also for sprain and pains of
rheumatic nature, and always with good
effect. Mrs. Nyce also says she thinks
the Oil is a splendid thing, and she
always keeps it on hand.
