Local Forest Laws.

In a country so extensive as that OF
the United States it will always be
difficult to enforce any general law OF
the preservation Ci forests, but local
or state laws might be enacted which
would be observed because the people
of limited area OF country could
readily understand the wisdom of such
enactments. In Switzerland there are
some cantons in which there is law
forbidding the destruction OF a tree
without the planting of another to
take its place. These laws are the
outgrowth of necessity, for it has been
demonstrated that the removing of
the forests has increased the dangers
from violent storms, foundations and
landslides. The people of this country
should take warning from the expert
ence of older nations, and not permit
the mountains and hills now covered
with forests to be laid bare, as is now
being done in many of the Northern
states and territories.

How Much Milk for Pound of Butter.

At the late meeting of the New York
State Dairymen's Association, held at
OSwegO, December Is, a call was made
for information as to the quantity of
milk required for a pound of butter,
A creamery manager from Bradford.
Pa, responded to this call with the
following figures: A mixed herd Of
twenty-one COWS in the eight months
from April to November inclusive
1882, averaged a pound of butter to
twenty-three pounds OF milk, and
averaged POP pounds of butter per
COW. Fourteen grade Short-horns in
the same time averaged a pound OF
butter to twenty and One-half pounds
of milk per COW. Fourteen Holsteins
in the same time averaged pound OF
butter from tWenty-fOur and One-half
pounds of milk, and averaged 235
pounds of butter per COW; and eleven
grade Jerseys III the same time aver
aged pound OF butter from sixteen
pounds OF milk, and in ten months
averaged $50 pounds per COW. The
record for the eight months having
been lost, he could not give it in COM
parison with the other herds for the
same length of time. The gentleman
said he had been in charge of the
creamery since 1882, and had endeav-
ored to impress upon its patrons the
Importance of improving its stock,
with what results the following state
ments will show: IN 1882, with $50
COWS, it required twenty-three pounds
of milk for a pound OF butter; in 1882,
with | 100 COWS tWentV-One mounds
of milk made pound of butter, and
in the season of 1884, twenty and a
half pounds OF milk made a pound of
butter, and Unexpected to still further
lessen the quantity required.

a Machine for Manufacturing None,

a San Franciscan has an ingenious
machine for the manufacture of
money. 1t consists of a small box en-
tlrely composed of metal. Beneath
the cover is a plate of brass with a
hole sunk in it large enough to hold a
50 gold piece. A funnel to all appear
ances leads to this hole or die, and
into it metal may be poured so as to
complete the illusion. When thecover
Is shut down it presses the funnel to
the back part OF the box, and away
from the hole in which the So piece
atterWard appears. In the center OF
the box Is a spring arrangement en-
tlrely concealed from sight by the brass
plate, and in 1t can be placed about
twenty So gold pieces. When the box
Is closed, after the metal has been
poured into the funnel, the operator
passes a small key through hole in
the side OF the machine and touches a
spring on which lie the gold pieces and
one OF the coins is by this means slid
into the die, so that when the cover of
the box is raised the metal has disap-
peared and instead is a half eagle rest
ing on the die.

A Fortified Gambling House

from the San Francisco CALL
On the east side of Dupont Street,
near Clay, a building is being altered
for the purpose of establishing a res
taurant In 1t, and in connection there
with there is being fitted up a room
which will be used by Chinese gamblers.
The room is twenty-five feet wide by
eighteen deep. The studding has been
| covered inside and out with grooved
and tongued pitch pine. The outside
OF each partition is covered with sheet
IRON one eighth of an inch thick. and
fastened by means of round headed
carriage bolts, set about five inches
apart.
The entrance from the street is
through a narrow door setin the west
ern partition, and hid from view bv a.
broad staircase that leads to the up
! per floor. The casing of this doorway
Is covered with steel strips Il quarter
OF an inch thick and several inches
wide, which are as well secured to the
partition by iron bolts as possible.
On the floor, in place of the ordinary
threshold, there is q thick iron plate.
From the interior the door is fastened
10y means ola swivel bar, which fits into
the sockets, and in addition thereto
| there is a heavy iron-bound piece of
timber six feet long, which, if occasion
requires, may be thrown against the
| door as a brace, from a floor hold.
The door itself is OF three inch pine.
covered with a quarter inch steel plate
! strongly riveted.
In the rear partition there is a door
that opens into a large kitchen con-
nected with the restaurant. The kitch-
en- is a room, the walls of which are of
/ brick. Two windows light the room,
but each OF these has heavy iron graf
lngs set in them. This place is so
/ strongly fortified that, under the most
/ favorable circumstances, officers hav-
ing wedges, axes, pinchbars, and iron
mauls could not effect an entrance I'M

Relics of Robinson Crusoe.

In an age of such iconoclastic tenden
cies as the present, when all the old be
liefs are being laughed at and there il
''irreverence for the dreams of youth, =
it is gratifying to find a people in which
there still fingers that ''simple faith
which the poet tells us is better than
Norman blood. Such people exist in
the little fishing village of Largo in
Fifeshire. Having been told that
Robinson Crusoe was born there, they
are now showing to the stranger not
only his cottage. but the identical gun
and sea chest which he had with him
on the desolate island. 1t NAV be said
that this is another way of carrying out

to make money, honestly if possible.

The Inevitable Master.

There is nothing that can quite sup.
ply the place of full acquaintance with
the rudimentary facts and suggestions
OF any of the callings in which men
strive for wealth and fame. The man
who begins by learning the alphabet of
his chosen pursu it, and progresses by
degrees and with trained faculties, is
the one who in the long run will come
off conqueror. This applies as we'll to
those OF remarkable natural gifts as to
those who are more slenderly equipped
in that regard. An eminent phifoso-
pher has said, with apt and signal force:
Genius is an infinite capacity for re-
ceiving discipline 1t is discipline that
tells, and without that there can be
only partial success, at most and under
any circumstances. There is no royal
road to first-class triumphs. no short
cut by which the necessity of close and
hard preparation may be avoided.
Dore discovered this, even if he did
not acknowledge it; and if man Of
his splendid talents could not cause an
exception to be made to the rule, with
all his determined and prolonged efforts.
1T is safe to say that it must be rule
which nobody has power to overcome.
The moral of such struggle and such
failure appeals to all classes of PEG
pie. Men may prosper in measure BY
natural energy and cunning alone, but
prosperity thus obtained is incomplete
and uncertain. The thorough man il
the inevitable master; and thorough
ness comes only by timely and perse-
vering discipline Louis Globe

A Faithful MaiI-Carrier.

Dogs have been put to all sorts of
uses by man. Not only do they guard
our houses and keep away thieves, but
they hunt game for people to shoot, and
go after it when il falls; they churn tho
butter and lead the blind; they take
care of the babies, and drag us out of
the water when we are so careless rs to
fall in. In more ways than can tell
they work for us and delight 10 do it.
That's the pleasant thing about their
service-they do not work Tor pay.
Not all she gold in Calioin would
have feathers weight with one OF
them, but kind words, gentle treat
ment, and now and then bone, bind
dog to his master for life and in
death.
We are not slow TO avail ourselves
of this most willing servant, and one
would think we had found out all the
uses to which dog can be put, but
little m n ng camp in California has
discovered new thing for him to do
to carry letters.
The place is hardly big enough to
have a name, and of course can not
think of having a post-office: but the
few miners there want their letters Just
as badly as though they lived in New
York City itself They could not find
a man to bring them three miles from
the nearest post-office. for every man in
a camp wants to dig for gold, so they
have taught a dog to do it Dorsey is
the name of the faithful fellow. and he
runs his three miles every day, from
Calico, where the stage stops, to Bis
marck, the camp, in twenty minutes,
with the letter bag strapped to his back.
