The Evils of Deforestation

A correspondent OF the Chronicle, o.
San Francisco, writing from Europe
and describing the evils resulting from
the destruction OF forests, says:
The evils OF deforestation have been
SO many times rehearsed that it is
only necessary to mention them brief
ly here. Trees are necessary in the
hills and mountains to protect the
springs and insure q steady supply o.
water throughout the year. If all the
trees about sources ofthe streams are
cut away the springs flow but short
time after the winter rains cease. In
early summer they have disap
paared entirely, and with them
the small brooks they have fed, and
which were wont to supply the creeks
and rivers now either greatly reduced
in volume or vanished. Consequent.
ly drouth, poverty and suffering from
fine agricultural possibilities ruined
with a soil deprived OF its sneeded mois
ture. There is another evil.scarcely
less serious. This results from the in,
undations which almost annually de
vastate those parts OF Europe which
the long course OF ages have beer
gradually denuded Of their forests,
with little or no effort at renewal
Spain has in this respect been tht
worst sufferer. Except in certain
favored localities, principally alons

desolation seems appalling. AS a nat

Tired of Her Stable Boy.

A New York letter TO Tie Boston
Herald has the following regarding
Mrs. Morosini Schillins The moral is
sufficiently obvious:
l hear that the somewhat celebrat-
ed love match between Victoria schil-
ing and her stable husband is not
quite as rosy as it was. Indeed, they
do say that the welded life OF the
coachman and his brideis rather more
spirited than affectlonate. Mrs. Schil-
ling looks thin and anxious. She was
plump and rather light hearted when
her runaway marriage occurred. Now
the girls at the Casino are tell
ing that she cries in her dress
ing-room between the scenes on
the stage and there are rumors that
she is badly treated at home. Her
father, understand. would take her
back to his home if she would get
away from her husband, but sheis not
quite ready to do that. She is, how
ever, beginning to think that she has
made a great mistake in life, and to
feel her humiliation keenly. But she
is too full OF pluck to acknowledge the
error publicly, so she grows pale and
thin and goes away by herself to weep.
She now gets $50 week at the Cast.

Thought it Was a Snake.

One day last summer while the
troops were being brought into Fort
Reno, Indian territory, to be ready to
suppress an outbreak among the
Cheyennes and Arrapahoes, they found
a great many snakes in the prairie
grass. In one day the soldiers killed
thirteen large rattiesnakes. A Young
cavalry officer gavehis experience with
an unusual specimen OF the snake fami-
ly. After going into camp about dusk
he started for a spring in a little ravine
near by. When not far from the ravine
he saw an object, which was about an
inch in diameter and OF Shiny green
color, dragging its length across his
path with a rapid movement. Quick,
as flash he drew his sabre and slash
ed it in two. This only had the effect
OF quickening it in its mad race for
the ravine. Hemude another and an
other slash, cutting off two or three
feet number OF times, but still was
not able to find its head OF check It's
speed until he got to the edge of the
rayine, when he saw, Just below him,
one OF the company horses, whoselar-
lat he had been chopping.

The Gum Chewcr's Friend.

The habit OF chewing gum, accord
ing to a Macon Ca. physician, is u
good and healthy one. "Thinness,"
he says, SIS q physical characteristic
OF Americans. account for this be-
cause OF the fact that they are in
new country, to whose climate they
have not become used. Even the de.
scendants ofpeople who came to Amer,
ica two hundred years ago are not
fully acclimated. This is true, it mat
ters not to what country people may
remove. Natural history has demon
strated that at least three hundred
years are required to acclimatize q
a nation that has taken it's abode IN
a new country.
Now, as thinness isa characteristic
OF Americans, they ought to usewhat
ever will make them fat, and they
ought not to use what will keep them
lean. The habit tofchewing gum causes
certain juices which aid digestion to
flow freely, unmixed with any injuri-
Gus substance. The habit OF chewing
tobacco also causesthose juices to flow
freely, but the tobacco chewer either
expels them from his mouth or swal-
lows them mixed with the poisonous
juice of the weed see YOU
have your notebook out; just lot
down this fact; twenty years ago the
rule was that Southern women were
thin and delicate; it is not the rule
now. Southern women are not phys
ically eqalled in North America. Any
physician who is as we'll informed as
he ought to be viii tell YOU that it is
true. This change is due to the habit
OF chewing gum. You may smile, you
may even laugh, if you please, but 1
am telling you a plain fact. AS to
Southern men, they are as thin and
gaunt as they ever were; and so they
will remain until they cease to chew
tobacco and begin to chew gum. .

Cars With Bathrooms.

chicago Herald.
Talking about luxury on the rail,
said traveller, ''let me tell you OF q
nice thing | struck last week. First,
let me ask If every man OF you hasn't
felt while out on the road that lie
would give more for a good bath than
for anything else in the way OF person
al comfort that you could think OF?
There is something about railroad
travelling that makes a man yearn tor
his bathtub at home. You not only
get dirty, but you feel that you are
dirty. The stuff seems to slime you
over, and stick you up, and interfere
with the natural functions OF the skin.
And then to think OF q five orsix days
trip across the continent without q
wash except OF your hands and face,
which cnly make the contrast with
the rest OF your body the more strik-
ing. and renders you more miserable.
well, it has been supposed that
about all OF the art and invention of
the world in the matter of securing
comfort for the railway traveller have
their home in he United States, and
particularly in Chicago, and yet, upin
British Columbia l struck the incest
thing ever saw on wheels. 1t was q
sleeping car witha bathroom. 1t is a
nice tub, and there is plenty OF room
and all the hot or cold water man
wants, and everything nice, clean and
cosy. The charge for the bath is only
fifty cents, and, during the two days l
was on the car, there wasn'ta passen-
ger on the car who didn't have at
least one bath day. And every man
and woman OF 'em swore that the lux
ury would have been cheap and de.
sirable at double theprice.'

Southern laundering Industry.


Mr.. M. D. Clark, OF Jefferson, Texas,
has lately visited friends in Saltwater

ing industry OF Texas, which has re-
Gently come into dangerous competi-
tion with that OF Michigan, Wisconsin
and Minnesota. Jefferson is on the
head waters OF the Cypress river.
This is one of the streams which faci-
litate operations in vast pinery,
thought to be the most extensive in
the United States, il not in the world.
The natives OF Texas had never at
tempted any extensive development
OF this resource OF wealth, and some
eight years ago a few energetic Northern
lumbermen found the locality in
about the same situation that the
pioneers found the pineries of the
great Northwest forty years ago
monstrous pine trees standing as
thick as possible close to the wat
er's edges of a multitude OF streams
with currents sufficiently strong to
carry logs in short time to desirable
marketing points. The discovery led
to immediate measures for develop
ment and as a result within the past
two years these men have been ship
ping lumber to Omaha, Central and
Northern Iowa, to st. Louis, Chicago,
and underselling the product OF the
Northwest. Their manufactures are
the finest grades, this Southern pinery
containing an exhaustless quantity
OF clear lumber trees. These gentle
men say that logs which the manu-.
facturer pays $12 per Thousand for
IN the Northwest only cost $5 per
thousand feet in Texas. Stumpage is
sold by the acre there instead OF by
the thousand feet. as in the Northwest,
and costs from rs cents to SO per
acre, an acre of ground containing
an average of nearly 5000 feet OF
standing pine, while there are many
bunch acres containing as high as 40,
600 feet The greatest difficulty these
Northerners had in developing their
industry was in getting railroad rates
by which they could get their manu-
factures into competition with the
Northern product. This they accom-,
p!ished two years ago, and Mr.. Stock
well says that his son-in- lawnow ships
lumber to Lyons and sells it for less
than the Lyons Lumber compay can
put their product from Northern logs
onto the market for. Northern Mis-.
sisslppi lumbermen are now turning
their attention to Texas, and q syn
dicate has recently been formed, Of
which Weyerhauser & Denkman OF

prominent lumbermen are members,

A Very Strange Story.

The strangest story of the year
comes from Bound Brook, New Jersey.
One OF the citizens of the village was
man named Hebron. Three months
ago his wife died, but before expiring
she obtained promise from her hus.
band that he would not marry a sec-
ond time. But in six weeks he took
| unto himself a buxom widow. Soon
change came over Hebron. He SEEM
ed ill at ease and appeared to be
haunted by some terrific secret. One
night he arose from q troubled sleep
to watch the burning of thu
| Episcopal church in Bound Brook.
Suddenly, while watching the flames,
he started back with an exclamation
OF horror, and, in spite Of all his wife
could do to arouse him, he appeared
as though held by some strange facin.
alton. Then he shrank back, placed
his hands before his eyes as though to
shut out some horrible vision, all the
while trembling in every limb. He
called upon his wife to see the
spirit OF his dead wife, which had come
to haunt him, and remind him OF the
broken promise he made her on her
death bed. He also declared that she
brought an army Of CHASTITY creatures
to end his life-ten thousand devils,
who ieered and jibed at him. He then
fell to the floor in dead faint From
that time Hebron believed he
was a doomed man. His dreams
were hideous, and his wakeful
moments frightful. One morning he
came to some of his friends with a
conntenance more CHASTITY than ever.
and told them OF dream he had had
during the night. He said he thought
the skeleton of his first wife lay beside
him, and when in terror hesprang from
the bed, the specter followed him. At
length it pinioned him to the wall
with one Of it's long. CHASTITY fingers,
and he felt his life blood ooze from his
pierced heart and drip to the floor.
i Then, he said, the specter licked up
| his flowing blood, screaming: $50 1

This story convinced Hebron's friends
that he was insane, and they Were
taking steps to place him in the asy.

he was found dead in his bed. Hehal

BONDS FORTY YEARS OLD.
A Demand for the States Payment of Bonds
Not Known To Be in Existence.

Seven Indiana bonds, belonging to the inter
nal improvement series, issued in 1876, have just
turned up, much to the prise of the State Of
icers, who were not aware that any such things
were in existence, and have been sent here for
payment. A letter to State Auditor Rice from
j. G. Kings Sons financial agents in New York.
a few days ago, stated that they had received from
their correspondent in Paris certificate of 5
per cent. State stock of Indiana, issued in 1916
to Mr.. Jean Baptiste Maurice du Coettosquet,
payment upon which was desired A careful
search of the records was made by the State
officers without finding anything showing that
any such bonds as were described had ever been
issued. The New York agents, however,
were requested to forward the bonds
to this city for examination. They were
sent to the First National Bank, and are held
there, awaiting the decision of the State officers
as to their payment They are badly worn, and
bear evidences of having been in existence for
many years. One is for $4,000 and there are
six others for 81 900 EACH They are signed by j.
P. Drake, Treasurer; e. W. HI. Ellis, Auditor,
and A. May. agent of the State, and are issued
to Jean Baptiste Maurice du Coettosquet.
They bear interest at the rate of per cent and
are redeemable at any time after 1866 They
were never presented at the agency in New
1Ork, 6Ya no demand mas ever DeTOr0 Deen MADE
for the payment of the principal or interest. The
financial agents who forwarded them here state
that it is their understanding that the bonds rep
resent one-half of SIC, 600 surrendered under the
act of 1916, the remaining onehaf having been
issued on the Wabash & Erie canal, its lands and
revenues
Under the Butler bill. in 1847 the State Aud
itor says, the internal improvement indebted
ness of the State was compensated, with the ex-
ception of 1872 bonds at that time outstanding
which were held by the United States Court
to be good against the State. In
pursuance of that decision, IN 1875 the
Legislature provided for the payment of
these 1872 bonds, all of which have since
been paid, with the exception of two in the
hands of the general government The bonds
which We're paid were all passed upon by the
United States Court If, therefore, the French
mans bonds are genuine, there were fraudulent
onespaid when the one hundred and ninety were
cancelled. The Auditor has about decided
therefore, that he will not pay the bonds with
out being ordered to do so by the courts.
