Prevent Forest Fires,

Ibere is a great loss every season by
individuals owning wood lots, and to
The public, from carclcssness or design
in handling fire. nthe summer drouths,
the leaves and fallen limbs become like
Under and the cigar stump or omptied
pipe, the brands from campfire or
plcnlc party, are enough TO kindle a
great conilagration. Fires are often
started from the sparks of railroad
engine, from carecssness in burning
brush, or from mi5chieyous BOYS, lust
to see the blaze, There is much loss TO
the owner Of the forest burnt over, in
trees killed, in fuel and fences consume
ed, and in the vegetable wealth Of leay-
es and mould burned and dissipated.
Inc forest docs not recover, as when IL

borhood suffers from the reduction Of
the area OF forest, already too small TO

ers. This great public evil should have

The EarcnOn.

DR.. X. H. Stockwell, Of Michigan,
treats the rsccoou as an animal iniuri-
Gus to Agriculture, and writes rs follows
in the Am. Agricu'turiSt for August.
The raccoon is described as a noctur-
nal animal, while in truth all hours of
the day or night are pretty much the
same to it. It's shrewdness, however
leads it TO seek the cover Of darkness,
while experience has Taught that fish
ing is attended with much better results
when practiced in the shadowy and un-
certain light of the moon. have OBJ
served it at different hours during the
day skulking along the margins Of
streams, hunting for frogs and turtles,
or stalking the wild duck aud her brood,
and even feeding in the maize fields.
In one instance the writer caught a
coon invading cautiously the we'll
stocked poultry yard al high noon.
Where only high or dry woodlands
or broad eXpanses of prairie prevail, the
raccoon is seldom encountered, save ~
a rambler. Low, moist grounds, with
lofty trees, are preferred like the we'll
wooded swamps and lagoons of the
South; while TO the uorthward, forest
slopes, bordering lakes and ponds, or
traversed by brooks or rivulets, are Sc
lected. The purely evergreen forests Of
the North rarely shelter it., since nuts,
acorns, and other mast are an impor-
tant factor in the problem Of life at GER
tain seasons of the year Hence its
presence therein must be held as acct
dental. But wherever the coon is
established, it wanders over wide
stretches of territory in summer, often
miles away from its home, absenting
itself for days and even weeks, espec-
ally during the wooing season. 1t is
during such excursions that 1t is met
with in the open prairie, being led
thereto, presumably, in search of
grouse, plover, and other feathered
creatures and their nests, along with
mice, hares and gophers,
North of Ohio and Indiana the raccoon
hibernates in winter but rarely, if ever,
in lower ATTITUDES. But even in his ex-
IRENE northern habitat, the habit is by
no means general or constant, as with
the bear, but appears rather as assumed,
to correspond with diminished food
supply. In Northern Michigan have
found them racing over the snow on
bright mid-winter days, while with the
advent OF extreme cold or stormy
weather, it retired again to It's peculiar
sleep IN tho recesscs of its lair. At the
same period, apair held in confinement
and abundantly supplied with food. at
no time exhibited any tendency towards
Information, though constantly refusing
admission TO their kennel of all articles
looking to increased warmth, prefer
ring to make their beds upon the naked
boards, Even during the coolest days,
when the thermometer was down In the
twentics below zero, the advent of n
tub of water was heralded with mani
fest delight in the.cod water OF which
they would paddle and play, and push
the ice about until wettcd to the skin.

if your voice shows fear, he notices it

The faculty of rccollecting faces and
facts is of great value to the politician,
but, while many claim ii, few really
possess it. Justice Harlan, of the Su-

the great elements Of the hold which
Representative Talbot, Of Maryland,
has upon his constituents is said to be
in the fact that he knows by name al
most every man, woman and child in
his county.
A handsome German girl, fresh from
Rhincland, was up before New Jersey
justice on charge Of dcsertion.
Through an interpreter she said she
didn't know she was married, the old
Dutchman claiming her having told her
that was the way servants were hired
in this country. The learned justice
said it made no difference what she
thought; she was married anyhow, and
must obey her husband. She at once
declared SHE would return to Germany,
where no fellow could marry her with
out her knowing something about it.

Driven to Madness and Suicide.

Colonel j. Ros, Greene, one of the
wealthiest and most influential citizens
Of Hastrop, Texas, died at the Blooming
dale Insane Asylum on Sunday, Feb
ruary II, from pneumonia and selI.im-
posed starvation. Colonel Greene went
to the asylum on February 8. For sever
al weeks his mind had been under II
severe strain. A dispatch from Austin
yesterday stated that less than two
months ago he had witnessed the TRACE
dy under his own roof that drove him
mad. His wife, IA beautiful Southern
lady, committed suicide by pouring oil
over her clothing and then setting it on
fire. He entered the room moment
after and endravored to extinguish the
flames, but all in vain. The horror of
the moment and the terrible excitement
under (which he was labOring, over.
came him. and he sank insensible to the
floor. When the servants entered the
room few minutes later, they found
the husband lying beside the
distigured body of his dead wife.
For several days Colonel Greene
wandered about the house in n dazed
manner. He recognized his friends, but
seemed incapable Of caring for himself.
1t was at length decided that he should
be- brought North for treatment and
change of climate. He was accompa-
MED by his tather. K. 5. Greene. After
arriving at the asylum he seemed bet
ter for n day or two, but he soon began
to refuse all the food offered him, be-
ca,lse, as he asserted, ii had been poison
ed. No arguments or force could make
