Tired of Her Stable Boy.

A New York letter to the Boston
Herald has the following regarding
Mrs. Morosini Schilling. The moral is
sufficiently obvious:
I 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 bride is rather more
spirited than affectlonate. Mrs. Schil-
ling looks thin and anxious. She was
plump and rather !ight-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, l understand, would take her
back to his home if she would get
away from her husband, but she is 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 $40 a week at the Cast.
no, and the ped Die in the company
like her and havS sympathy for her
apparent distress. She sings well
enough and looN well enough to be
sure of earning ) good living on the
stage as long a. she may choose to
stay there.

Southern laundering Industry.

Mr.. NJ. D. Clark, of Jefferson, Texas,
has lately visited friends in Saltwater
Mimi. and gives some interesting in
formation in reference to the lumber
ing industry OF Texas, which has re-
Gently come into dangerous eompeti-
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-
lltate operations in vast pinery,
thought to be the most extensive in
the United States, if 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
lnonstrous 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 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 IS 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 $3 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-
plished two years ago, and Mr.. Stock
we'll says that his son-in law now 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-
sissippi lumbermen are now turning
their attention to Texas, and syn
dicate has recently been formed, OF
which Weyerhauser & Denkman OF
Rock Island, ILL.,, and many other as
prominent lumbermen are members,
for thepurpose of operating extensive.

The Evils of DefOrestati on

A correspondent of the Chronicle, ol
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 a steady supply O.:
Water throughout the year. If all the
trees about sources of the streams are
cut away the springs flow but a short
time after the winter rains cease. In
early summer they have disap
psared 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.

less serious. This results from the in.
undations which almost annually de-

the long course of ages have beer

Spain has in this respect been the
worst sufferer. Except in certain
favored localities, principally along

the Pyrennes, or along the Med
iterranean, it may be described as ar
absolutely treeless country, its vast
olive orchards affording here and there
a partial exception. Ono may trave

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 rattlesnakes. A young
cavalry officer gave his experience with
an unusual specimen of the snake fami-
". 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 all 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 a fash he drew his sabre and slash
ed it in two. This only had the effect
of quickening lin it's mad race for
the ravine. He nude another and an
other slash, cutting off two or three
feet number of times, but still was
not able to find it's head or check it's
speed until he got to The edge of the
ravine, when he saw, just below him,
one Of the company horses, whose lar.
lat he had been chopping.

Cars With Bathrooms.
Chicago Herald.

Chicago Herald.
"Talking about luxury on the rail-"
said traveller, "let me tell you OF
nice thing struck last week. First,
let me ask if every man OF you hasn't
felt while out on the road that he
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 q man yearn FOR
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 five orsi days
trip across the continent without
wash except OF your hands and face,
which only 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 the 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 with a bathroom. 1t is a
nice tub, and there is plenty OF room
and all the hot or cold water q 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 a passen-
ger on the car who didn't have al
least one bath a day. And every man
and woman Of 'em swore that the lux
ury would have been cheap and de.
sirable at double theprice."

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 a promise from her hus.
band that he would not marry q sec.
ond time. But in six weeks he took
unto himself q buxom widow. Soon
change came over Hebron. He SEEM

haunted by some terrific secret. One
night he arose from a troubled sleep
to watch the burning of ths
Episcopal church in Bound Brook.
Suddenly, while watching the flames,

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 sha

to end his life-ten thousand devils.
who jeered and jibed at him. He then
fell to the floor in a dead faint. From
that time Hebron believed he

were hideous, and his wakefnIf
moments frightful. One morning he
came to some of his friends with
countenance 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 walls
with one Of its long, ghastly fingers,

The Gum Chewer's Friend.

The habit OF chewing gum, accord
ing to a Macon, Ga. physician, is a.
good and healthy one. "Thinness, +"
he says, "ls physical characteristic
OF Americans. Iaccount for this be-
cause OF the fact that they are in
a 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 NAV
remove. Natural history has demon
strated that at least three hundred
years are required to acclim&tize q
q nation that has taken it's abode In
a new country.
"Now, as thinness is a characteristic
OF Americans, they ought to use what
ever will make them fat, and they
ought not to use what will keep them
lean. The habit OF chewing gum causes
certain juices which aid digestion to
flow freely, unmixed with any injuri-
Gus substance. The habit OF chewing
tobacco also causes those 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. l see YOU
have your notebook out; just jot
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 will 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 I
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
