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
jmprovilence the peasants would speed
lily SWEEP, away all their forests to
enable tL~nA to clean the mortga-
gcs which the Jews hold on their lands.
In Bavaria the price Of fuel rose be-
tween 1880 anil 1860 as much as GO per
cent, ard building timber rose 70 per
cent. In the sixteenth century the for
csts had dwindled SO much, and the
cost of firing had risen so high, that the
Sovereign protection, and appointed .
class of officials whose duty it was to
see after the fuel supply in their prov
noes and look to the protecion Of trees
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 certain age
their rate of growth is so slow that
their room is needed for younger plants
and they are cut down. Thus a pine
reaches it's perfection after its Both
year, and goes back after it's 00th. AS
a rule, forest is cleared and replanted
every thirty years and is all exception
anywhere to see an older pine or beech.
But the BONNER Valid has not been
subject to this policemen and there o
remain in it magnificent pines several
hundred years old.

SWEET HOME.

Benjamin F. Taylor concluded his poem on
Chickamauga by the following beautiful STAN
zas on sweet home:
a camp OF blue, a camp Of gray,
A peaceful river rolled in between,
We're pitched two rifle shots away,
The sun had set the West aglow,
The evening clouds were crimson snow.
The twinkling camp fires family seen
Across the dark'ning river.
There foated from the Federal band
The 'Spangled Banner's'' strain.
The grays struck up their "Dixie Land,'
And Orally Round" and 'sBonny Blue"
All, no such fights shall cross again
The Rappahannock River.
And then, above the glancing ''beam
OF song" G. bugle warbled low,
Like some bird startled in dream,
Home, Home, Sweet Home" and voices rang
And gray and blue together sang
And other songs were like the snow /,
Among the pines when winds arc silled
And hearts and voices throbbed and thrilled,
With, CLONE, Sweet Home" forever.

An Extract From DR.. Hammond's q Address
at the I'eh1gh University.
from tho Popular Science Monthly. -
Go into the chemical laboratory of
your own noble university in honor of
whose founder we are here to-day
and touch the two poles of galvanio
battery. What is it thrills through
your bodies, and perhaps even burns
the skin OF your fingers; or even, if the
current be strong enough, strike you
dead on the instant? Galyanism. What
is galvanism? A force. Yes, and so Is
light force, and heat, and gravitation.
But when l am told this I am lust as
far from knowing what any one of the
forces is as I was before All that you
could do, If I persisted in asking for
fuller explanation, would be to tell me
something Of the origin and proper
ties Of the force in question,
and in this way I should OBJ
tain some idea of it's characteristics, and
should be in no danger of mistaking it
for any other force. That is what your
professor of physics does for you, and,
if you have only profted by the in
instruction you have received, YOU have
store Of facts at j. our command that
will enable you to recognize heat, light,
electricity, gravitatior, magnetism,
whenever you see them manifested.
When, therefore, you ask me what mind
is, I answer that it is force possessing
peculiar properties and developed by
q substance constituting part Of the
nervous organism of man and other ami
mails, and known to anatomists and
Psychologists as gray tissue. This
is similar in all essential respects, so
far as its terms are concerned, to the
definition that you would give ME Of
any other force OF course it can be
made more precise and extensive, but
no enlargement would change it's char
acter

Decrease Of Chinese Exports.

a remarkable decrease has taken

China. In the season of 1901 the ex-
port of tea reached its maximum, being
no less than 174, 514 900 pounds. It
was only 80, O66,0 900 pounds in 1861,
and last year it amounted to Isl, 140.-
900 pounds, showing a decline since
1901, of 1874, 900 pounds. But the
falling off of the shipments of silk was
greater still. The highest point reached
was 79,l99 bales in 1862, and last
year the quantity had fallen off to IT,
500 bales. The exports of tea during
each season for the past six years we're

done, and the glory of Harry's hair gone
forever.
Beatrice positively sobbed. She gathered
up every thread Of gold, kissed and wept
over the wreck, then put it away to be treas
ured up. She clasped her d~isfigured darling
TO her breast.
"Oh, my poor little boy!" she cried. 'tMy
little shorn lambl Oh, it was cruel, too
cruel! A cruel, wicked mother l am to you,
my pet" She Rugged the boy, and beHailed
the loss of his curls-a loss which the late
proprietor appeared to view with intense sat
isfaction. He was experiencing anew sensa-
ton, and at every age a new sensation is a
matter Of great interest.

trice into great animation. ''Motherln she

lips, and made, for the first attempt, a very
fair imitation of the word. The tears
streamed down Beatrice's cheeks. She kissed
the boy passionately. "Say it again-say
it always" she cried, mother, mother,
mother"
The little autocrat, being in high good
temper, consented to humor her, and all the
way to London Beatrice taught her boy the
new word-even made him dimly compre-
bend that it was in future to be the title of
the person whom his lisping tongue had I'M
til 10Y only given the name of Bee-Bee, or
SOM such infantile rendering of the style by
which he heard her addressed.
The comfort which his readiness to catch
up the new word brought to Beatrice's heart
almost compensated for the regret she felt at
the ruthless deed which had been done by
the scissors.

CHAPTER XIII.
PAINFUL DUTIES.

After the W great crimes Of removing
the landmarks Of the constitution to pander
to the Masses" and not wiping ones shoes
the enc an imperial, the other a domestic sin,
yet equally grave-unpunctuality at table
was the most heinous offense in the eyes of
Horace and Herbert. Without being exactly
gourmands they liked their food cooked to a
turn. Most bachelors who nave turned 40
exhibit the same liking. The Talberts took a
great deal of trouble about their cuisine, and
expected to be rewarded by finding every
thing, from the salt to the salmon, as it
should be. Such a matter as a h~ard-hearted
potato was all but unknown at their table,
and would have formed the subject for a
court of inquiry, and, if needed, a revision
ii kitchen utensils.
At their refined dinner parties 1t was I'M
derstood that after q certain time of grace no
one was to be waited for. 1t was their theory
that keeping several guests waiting for one
laggard was a breach of politeness. There
were unkind people who said that the broth
ers would break this rule for a lord. They
wronged our friends. They would have
waited for no one under the IN of a duke
OF at least a marquis.
Sc that when Whitaker having struck the
resonant gong and so proclaimed that lunch
' NJ N- Aiit l'a''SN ~ fNfVt
Beatrice's responding to its hospitable sum-
mons, 1t Is no wonder that Horace and Her
bert began to look grave. The soup was on
the table; Whitaker was waiting his mas
ter's commands. He, who from long associa-
ton, felt the situation as much as they did
looked absolutely sympathetic. Although he
had no reason to suppose her stone deaf he
ventured to suggest that Miss Clauson had
not heard the gong.
The beauty of the Talberts' character was
that politeness invariably triumphei over
principle, Punctuality was here the prin-
ciple; it was outraged, yet forced for a while
to submit. Horace forbade a repeated sum-
mons, and they actually waited another five
minutes before they sent Whitaker to in
quire for Miss Clauson. Whitaker reported
that Miss Clauson, the nurse and the little
boy had gone out Immediately after break
fast and had not yet returned.
"Ihen the nursery dinner will be spoiled,
too" said Horace sadly, as he seated himself
ana ladled out the coup. Horace, with his
kind heart, felt for any one who was doomed
to suffer from a spoiled dinner.
After a solemn lunch the brothers waited
for a while in the dining-room. They ex-
pected every moment that Beatrice would
appear. They did not of course mean 70
scold her, but were prepared to say a few
words of mild remonstrance; to show her,
IN fact, how the bad example of unpunctual-
ity must demoralize an establishment.
But as Beatrice did not appear the we'll

pairing turned into open expressions of won
der as TO why her morning ramblo should be
so protracted. Perhaps she bad gone some-
where to lunch. Perhaps something had

sumed its course, she turned to Beatrice.
1T must be done, my dear. II must be

Beatrice, who now had the boy. Rugged
him tightly. 81 won't-I can't do it," she
said.
1--WE shall be traced all over the world by
It, my DEAR" said Mrs. Miller, sadly.
ooh, Sarahi 1t is too cruel-too crueli
See, let us twist it up and hide it."
Herewith she twisted up Harry's sunny
locks, turned them over on the top of his head,
and fastened them with a hairpin. His cap
was replaced, and very comical the boy looked
with his hair growing upwards.
And very pretty he looked when, a minute
afterwards, thinking this was a new sort of
game, he shook off his cap, shook out the
knot, and, prestoi down fell the glowing
cloud again.
1t was tucked up again. 1t was shaken out
again-and again and again 1t was fine
sport for the baby, but Beatrice began to
glance timidly Mt her maid, who shook her
head ominously. 1--WE shall be followed every
where,n she said. Beatrice sighed.
Hell be a big boy in no time, my pretty
said Sarah, then it must come off. Don't
run the risk now. There's not such hair in
the three kingdoms"
Strange hat n woman who believed so
implicitly in destiny, Mrs. Miller should be
in her calm moments so calculating and fore
seeing.
Beatrice kissed the soft cloud, and said that
was why it was such a sin. Sarah, without
n word, drew out a newspaper and a large
pair of bright scissors. Beatrice turned
away to hide her tears.
Sarah cut a hole in the centre of the news
paper-a hole just big enough for the boy to
put his head through. He did so, and thought
it great fun. His blue eyes danced with
delight. 'Hold the corners, miss" said
Sarah. Beatrice with averted eyes took I'D
two of them in her trembling hands. The
cruel work began.
Ruthless as the shears Of Atropos, Sarah
piled her bright blades, and the boys gilt
tering locks fell in soft masses on the out
spread Standard. Never before had the
columns of that influential journal cleaned
so brightly. Clip, clip, clip, went the
scissors, every clip seeming to cut Beatrice's
heart. In five minutes the work was roughly

Triumph for the Spencer and Karcourt
Combination.
LONDON, May 16.-Everybody rema arked how
miserable and thoroughly ashamed Gladstone
looked last night when announcing his policy on
the crimes act. He shrank before the outburst
of wrath from the thinly filled Irish benches as
he never did in the worst times from the Tories.
Gladstone protested deprecatingy against the
government proposals being called coercion, and
tried to soothe the storm by piteous request
that everybody try and retain their good humor.
The result is triumph for the combination of
which Spencer and Harcourt are the chief mem
bers The Parnellites view the situation TRANQUILITY
if not with satisfaction. The National Leauge has
reached proportions beyond its most san guine
hopes, and it is low impossible that anything
which Spencer may attempt can hamper the
League. The accompaniment of coercion by
remedial bills like the Disagreement and
and-purchase measures has been calamity.
These bills have been Dead sea fruit because it
has been impossible to get them beyond their in
fancy in the present morlbund Parliament But
their mere announcement would be sufficient
to win a certain number of weak kneed, soft
headed Irishmen, whose leaning toward Glad
stone, with even the bitter experience of the last
five years, is not wholly destroyed. Coercion,
pure and simple, untempered by a single conces-
sion, supplies the rallyIng cry which will unite
all classes and inspire them with the enthusi-
asm of hot and just resentment which will
bring everybody to the polls in the general cleo
tion.
The Parnellites after much deliberation, have
virtually decided upon their programm. The
Tories must be exterminated in Ulster by COM
bination with the Wings and partition of seats
between them and the Parnellites In England
Irishmen will vote the Tory ticket, except in
such rare cases as those of Cowen, Labourchere
and Thomson of Durham and Story of Sunder-
land The determination of Irish Orangemen
will remove the great obstacle to the English
section of the Tory party examining Irish de-
mands in the spirit of possible compramise.
while in England the Irish vote turning over
forty fifty seats will prevent the Liberals from
obtaining that sweeping majority which the
Parnelites consider of the gravest
dangers of their future cause.

NEWSPAPER POSTAL PETS.

How Judge Gresham Is Alleged to Have
Fixed Fast Mails just for Chicago Papers.
Washington Special.
The arrival of ex Postmaster general Gresham
in the city is the harbinger of the active over
hauling of some of the acts of the former admin
istration Complaints have been made in rela-
ton TO certain envelope contracts, in which
Third Assistant Hazen has figured extensively.
A rehearing is demanded and General Greshams
presence is demanded by certain dismissed en-
ployes, who claim they merely followed out
Greshams orders in the premises
The agents of the Northern Pacific railroad,
are also here, and want the subject of the West
ern fast-mail service reopened 1t is claimed
that favoritism shown by General Gresham
in the distribution of the fast-mal service. st.
Louis is, and has been, much aggrieved because
of the discrimination in favor Of Chicago,
which enabled the Chicago newspapers to enjoy
undue advantages. The complainants all agree
that the whole Western fast-inall service was in
the interest of certain Chicago newspapers,
and not for the benefit of the general public.
1t is now proposed to upset the whole busi-
ness under this administration and have new
deal. The Northern Pacific people are confident
of effecting the change through Postmaster
general Villas.
