How OUR FORESTS AREGoING.-The New
York Wood Worker is responsible for the
following figures, showing how our forests
are drawn upon; TO make shoe pegs
enough for American use consumes 100, O0O
cords of timber, and to make our lucifer
matches. 1000 cubic feet of the best pine
are required every year. Lasts and boot
trees take COO, 600 cords of birch, beech and
maple, and tool handles 100000 more.
The baking of our brick consumes 2,oo0,-
600 cords of wood or what would cover
about $1,000 acres of land. Telegraph poles
already up represent 800 900 trees, and their
annual repair consumes 100000 more. The
ties of our railroads consume annually 80
years growth of 5000 acres; TO fence all
our railroads would cost $40, 100000, with
a yearly expenditure of Sl5,000,000 for re-
pairs. These are some of the ways in
which American forests are going. There
are others Our packing boxes. for in

CONFEDERATE IMPRESSION OF GRANT
Our first impression of the great General
and great smoker was, as a prisoner, after
the forced march Grants advanced
corps made to get around Lees army. The
imperturbable face, firm sit of saddle, square
jaw, massive lower face, unlit cigar, as he
sat and gazed a moment at daylight, as dis
positions were making, made an impress
sion, although it was later of the same day
that it was known that it was Grant. After
the surrender Grant rode by, accompanied
by Washburne of Illinois, and some Con
federates. To some remark, some gush, we
suspect, by n Confederate, Washbune re-
piled, with some other gush, which just at
that gushing moment of defeat. was thought
to be very fine sentiment: " am proud
OF my gallant countrymen of both sides
The silent smoker rode without a word, his
cigar still unit, and perhaps the same he
had in the morning, still between his teeth
There was an appearance of firlnness about
the man and about everything about him
The cigar seemed to be fast rooted in the
man, the man in his saddle, the saddle to
the horse, the horse to the solid earth. We
have never forgot the impression of power,
or that there was with it an impression OF
simple good will and kindness, which was
as distinctive trait as tirmness without
severity. OF the cigar we had never heard
but it made an impression. 1t was feat
ure. Grant is not all of Grant without K.

He soon fell asleep, and in a short while
the other members of the family retired
Some time during the night the boys
mother dreamed that her son was dead.
The dream was startling in its details, and
from it the mother awoke with heavy
heart. AS soon as she awoke, however, she
realized that it was a dream, and turning
over went to sleep again. Again she
dreamed that the boy was dead. She
dreamed that he had gone to bed talking of
the morrow, and that she had subsequently
retired and dreamed that her boy was dead,
and awoke to find the dream true. The
dream again awoke the woman. She was
bathed in perspiration So real and life
like was the dream that the woman in her
sleep had gone through the agony natu-
rally consequent upon the actual death OF
her son. The dream bothered her so much
that she raised herself upon her elbow and
called out:
Francis, Francis, Francis, my son, are
you alive?"
No answer came from the bed or which
the boy was resting in another part of the
room, and again the mother cried out, this
time louder than before:
Francis, Francis, my son, why don t
you answer me?'
The calling awoke the womans husband,
who asked:
"Old lady, what's the matter with you
Why don't you go to sleep2"
"Oh, had such an awful, awful dream
l dreamed that Francis was dead. thought
l went to bed and dreamed that he was
dead, and awoke to find it true. l have
called him, but he won't answer
and l was dreaming the same thing as
you woke me- said the husband, as he be-
gan crawling out of bed. Out of bed, the
husband made light, and walking across
the room to the bed in which the boy slept,
threw back the cover and gave the boy a
shake. There was no response. The touch
even convinced the father that the boy was
dead, and turning to his wife he said
Wife, we have both dreamed the truth
Francis is dead"
And he was dead When the parents re-
tired he was asleep. When they awoke he
was dead. When he died no one knows.
His death was an easy one. The bedding
was not disturbed in any way. The bows
features wsre even, and the indications
were that his spirit took its fight while he
was asleep. Yesterday morning Coroner
Haynes held an inquest. The evidence
showed that the boy had been suffering
with consumption. DR.. Boring made a
postmOrtem examination, and stated that
the lungs were badly destroyed. and that
the liver was enlarged. The jury's verdict
was i'll accordance with these facts-TA At

In our woodland painting place,
Seeming both to see and hear us
With an interested face
Looking. oh so wise and woolly,
We could fancy he might say.
"Ah, knew loves frenzy fully
In my young and needless day"
Did Sir Robin too deride us
Up against that autumn sky,
On a tree which could not hid us
From his bright and merry eye'

In his mind, a larder bare,
With lis twain both crying Coldly,
Not crumb for Bob to spare :"
Then you questioned archly, sadly.

Can it be that love loves madly.
Owl and redbreast tell us so !"
And | drew robin peering
Through cottage window pane,
Singing DER his crumb feast cheering,
True loves summer does not wane."

And n satirist is Bob

All its wealth which none may rob
Ito heavens gate we take it,
Asking for its blessing there,

That can keep it fresh and fair
SO We left that thorn tree gayly,
Happy -pllghted, hand in hand.
And our love has since been daily
To us twain summer land.
Now the bells of age are tinkled
In our ears. my White-haired wife,
But though old. love grows not wrinkled
lifts summer is for life.

PHOTOGRAPHIC TESTS N WINE.-A Mar
settles newspaper describes an experiment
which demonstrates that it is possible TO
employ photography to test the quality of
wines. \ merchant ofthat city had a pho
tograph made of some wine that he had re-
ceived from Algeria. Photography reveals
chemical alterations in wine by the changes
in its crystal or in its colors. If the wine
has been weakened with water or fortified
with alcohol, the appearance of the crystals
will be evidence of it. Not only is pho
Biography useful in detecting diseased or
doctored wine, but it will reveal the pres
ence of fuchsine and other coloring mat
tiers, and also indicate its age, its condition
and the locality offs production Wine is
subject to a kind of internal movement of
change. with age and temperature, and by
photographing wine at different periods
of its life the successive stages through
which it passes can be revealed. This is
the statement made by lie Pitt lfnrsellaiSe
and if all that it claims is practicable, sort
of revolution III the wine business ought III
time TO be the result Of introducing photo
graphic tests of the condition and quality
of different vintages. If adulterated and
spurious wines can be detected with scien-
titic certainty. it is a very important dis
coYery.

4 CURIOUS TREE.-Lieutenant Hough-
ton who has recently visited New Guinea
and several other groups of islands in the
Pacific reports the existence of prehen-
sile tree. 1t appears TO be species of ficus,
allied to the well-known banyan tree.
which throws out from its branches air
roots that eventually reach the ground and
take root there, and in their turn become
new stems which perform the same func-
ton; so that a single tree will eventually
extend so far as to form a complete forest
in which the stems are united by the
branches to each other. The prehensile
tree in question similarly throws out from
its branches long, flexible tendrils, which
touching the ground, do not take root
there, but Irvine around any article that
may lie within their reach. After a lime
these quasi branches contract, so that they
fail to reach the ground, but the finger-like
processes continue to closely grip the article
round which they have twincd themselves,
and which are consequently suspended in
mid air. In this way articles of consider
able weight may be literally picked up from
the ground and held in SUSPENSION.

CHANGING ALTITUDE-To determine the
vexed question whether the level of the
Baltic was rising or sinking, water marks
about century later, and finally repaired
last year. At short regular intervals the
gauges were inspected, and the readings
carefully noted. The records of 134 years
now show beyond all cavil that while
the Scandinavian coast has been steadily
rising, the southern littoral of the Baltic
has been as steadily sinking. Since 1850
the coast of Sweden has been upheaved on
an average nearly fifty-six inches. No
change has been perceptible on line which
passes from the Swedish coast over Born
holm and Laland to the Schleswig Holstein

that catfish skins may be tanned into ele-

engaged in the business for several years
aud finds it very profitable The leather is
used for anything, from shoe laces to Slip
pers, cabas, pocketbooks and fancy pocket
case o covers etc. The leather is light gray
tougher than the hide of a badger" This
bids fair to prove another profitable way of
disposing of these skins, which have here
tofore been used principally for the manu-

letter To the poet Whittier, telling him that
they had learned To recite several of his
poems, and closing thus: If it would not
be too much trouble, write verse for us
something that we could learn and ALWAYS
remember as having been written by YOU
especially for us" In response, he sent
the following:
Faint not and faltcr not, nor plead
Your weakness: Truth itself is strong;
The lions strength, the eagles speed,
Are not alone vouchsafed to wrong.
Your nature. which through fire and blood,
To place OF gain can find its way
Has power to seek the highest good
And duty's hottest call obey.
