Forest Police in GERMANY,

Cornhill Magazine: In Germany the
woods have their police, whose duty it
is to see that no devastation is wrought
by inconsiderate owners. No man may
cut down his trees without the sanction
OF the authorities. The reason is that
wood is the staple fuel of the country,
and if the government did not step in
to protect the people against their own
improvidence the peasants would speed
lily sweep away all their forests to
enable them to clear the mortga-
ges which the Jews hold on their lands.
In Bavaria the price of fuel rose be.
tween 1880 and 1860 as much as 60 per
cent, and building timber rose 10 per
cent. In the sixteenth century the for
ests had dwindled so much, and the
cost of firing had risen SO high, that the
princes took the forests under their
sovereign protection, and appointed \
class of officials whose duty it was to
see after the fuel supply in their prov
inces, and look to theprotection oftrees
just as the police have to see to the pro-
lection of citizens. One result has been
that no trees are allowed to grow long
er than when they reach maturity. At
ter they have attained a certain age
their rate of growth is SO slow that
their room is needed for younger plants
and they are cut down. Thus q pine
reaches its perfection after its Both
year, and goes back after its 80th. AS
a rule, a forest is cleared and replanted
every thirty years and is an exception
anywhere to see an older pine or beech.
But the BONNER Valid has not been
subject to this policement and there 20
remain in it magnificent pines several
hundred years old.

Rapid Growth.

American humor delights in exag-
geration. The Yankee has such q
pride in the bigness of his country and
in the rapidity Of its progress, that he
enjoys astonishing his hearers with
tales which contain just enough truth
to make the magnifed sketch funny.
There is a town, or rather a city, in
Central Dakota only four years old.
just four years ago there was one
house, a miserable shanty, standing on
the spot where is now q four-story
hotel.
There are five large hotels, six
churches, sixty saloons, skating rlnks,
a system of water works, electric lights,
gas, school-houses, banks, wholesale
business houses of all kinds, enterprise,
energy, enthusiasm, push, selfshness
and money-making in this f%our-year-
old Hercules. Yesterday, nothing; to-
day, everything.
To illustrate, bya grotesque exag.
geration, the marvellous growth of the
Northwest, the following sketch is
amusing. An engineer on the Chicago
and Milwaukee Road, Which has pushed
its way into ths heart of Southern Da-
kota, is supposed to tell the stow.
Zone day, l was driving my engine
over the prairie at the rate of forty miles
an hour, without a house in sight and
surprising the nearest town to be thirty
miles distant. But as I glanced ahead,
I was astonished to see that I was ap-
preaching a large city. I rubbed my
eyes, thinking it was 8 mirage.

The natives Of West Africa are still
somewhat given to c~annibalism. In
1869 human flesh WAS exposed for sale
on the public market at Duketown, old
Calabar. Only . year or two ago Q
chief Of the Brass district, named I'm
amy, killed two Acreeka people, who
were sacrificed to the names OF his
fathers. In Brass, ~ in Bonny, they
eat all enemies taken in war, and they
put forth, IS q justification for this, that
dsvouring the flesh Of their enemies
makes them brave.

falling off of the shipments of silk was
greater still. The highest point reached
was 1919 bales in 1862, and last
year the quantity had fallen off to IT.
1863 bales. The exports of tea during
each season for the past six years were
