Fools for Forresters.

Springfield Republican.
The Brooklyn people have got precious lot of
fools for park commissioners, who are engaged
in cutting down the great forest trees in Pros
pect Park and making it like any new plantation.
It is melancholy TO think how this business of
forestry everywhere, in the country or in the
city, gets into the hands of men whose only
knowledge of trees is that will cut them
down.

Locust Suppers.

A locust supper was to have been held
recently by four gentlemen, one of whom
is a physician, and a number of their
friends were invited to Join the party, but
declined, saying they were not hungry
enough to feast on. bugs. The intended
supper was started by anumber Of young
men bantering each other about the deli
cious and vile things they had eaten. The
menu suggested worried some of the guest
when they reflected upon what they had
promised to eat, and some of them backed
out. To supply the supper fifty good,
large, healthy locusts were procured fer
the physician, but they did not know
how to cook them. 1t was at first in
tended to boil them in milk, but the
sharp appetites that had been longing
for the food w>re not satisfied that boiling
was the best way to cook them, and it was
agreed to put the supper off until the
doctor could write over to Professor Riley
and get his recipe. The supper has not
been abandoned. It is simply postponed.

Chinese Paper.

Eighteen hundred years ago, says the

Chlnese, acting upon the wasp's sugges-

auced to pulp. Now each province makes
IT'S own peculiar variety from the inner

IN a single night, is whitened, reduced to
pulp IN a mortar, and sized with alum.
FROM this pulp sheets of paper are made

Wherein Men and Women Differ.

When a woman becomes Hurried she
feels for a fan; when a man becomes
Hurried he feels for a cigar.
Women jump at conclusions and gen
orally hit; men reason things out logically
and generally miss it..
Some women can't pass a millinery
store without looking in; some men can't
pass a saloon without going in.
A woman never sees a baby without
wanting to run to it; a man never sees a
baby without wanting t o run away from it.
Women love admiration, appreciation.
self-immolation on the part of others, and
are often weak, vain aud frivolous. Ditto
men.
A woman always carries her purse IN
her hand so that other women will see it;
a man carries his i'll his inside pocket so
that his wife won't see it.
A woman can sit in a theatre three
hours without getting all cramped up,
catching the toothache or becoming faint
for want of fresh air; a man can't.

A Great Traffic ia Fouls.

Speaking of the immense number of
fowls received weekly at Marseilles,
France, a London journal says: The
fowls arrived from Italy in railway vans
Of the ordinary size, but specially con
structed for this traffic. The sides are of
lattice.wolk, and internally the van is
divided into nine tiers, Or shelves. On
each tier there are twelve cages, and each
cage is calculated to contain thirty birds.
In this way the prodigious number OF
I, 240 fowls is conveyed in a single wag-
on. The cages are provided with tins
for water on one side and for corn on the
other. and there is a door in each through
which any fowl that is injured or slckly
ran be at once removed. The birds are
said not to suffer at all OF to deteriorate
on their Journey, though they come from
| Milan or v from Venice, and in many
cases arc sent through direct as far as the
Spanish frontier. We often thank heav-
en- that we are not as the Italians in the
matter Of the treatment OF animals (and
no doubt as a rule we do SO with JUSTICE,
but If the Irish poultry consigned to the
markets of London or Glasgow could sec
the arrangements that are made for the
accommodation of their Italian brethren
they would surely pray to be delivered
from the careless kindheartedness Of the
| English and handed over to the c~alculat-
ing mercies of the Italians.

The history Of these islands is rather
interesting. They are eight in number,
and they contain an aggregate of 30, OoC
inhabitants. Their chief value consists
in the TACT that they ara on the direct

Div as coaling stations. The exports are

and copra, or dried meat of the ripe
