The Pine Lumber supply

lCharles Ellis in The Current
Pow long will this wonderful work
among the pines continued The stock of
pine yet standing in Michigan can pro-
duce 10000, 000, 900 feet of lumber, if
cut for that purpose. In eight years,
therefore, at the late average production
of the state, the pine will have been used
up. But such predictions have been
made for years past In 1867, the stand
ing pine of Michigan, was estimated to
be 81, 416, 900. 900 feet and it was pre-.
dicted that it would be all gone in
seventeen years. But since then the
Saginaw valley alone has produced about
II, 600, 900, 600 feet, and will continue 10
cut in the neighborhood of l., 10000 900
feet year for the eight or ten years to
come. As pine grows scarcer, it will
make more lumber than when it was
plenty.
{ RIlt in Tarediefinr tho end Of nine INN
bering, a person must take into account
the timber which is yet standing in Wis
consin, Minnesota, Canada and the south.
And it will be many years before it even
grows scarce, when we estimate the
whole. Yet an end must come to the
forests that the white race found in this
country. Doubtless pine forests of the
second growth will be raised for future
use, but the present magnificent forests
will disappear. 1t has been estimated
that the demand for lumber in this coun-
try from 1880 to 1890 would require
30, 900, 600, 900 feet, and one can readily
see that at that rate the stock must soon
be gone

Medical Science and Sanitation.

Medical science has made marvellous ad-
vances in every other department, espe-
cially in surgery and the knowledge of dis
eases; yet with all this it is suspected that
the old women of former generations with
their "yarb" teas and simple medicines
were quite as successful in treating COM
mon ailments-cOlds and the like-as are
the usual run of physicians with their
powerful mineral drugs and bookish learn
ing. All are agreed that more dependence
is to be placed on sanitation and hygiene
than on medicines. Diseases can be pre-.
vented, but if serious are a puzzle to the
doctors of any school There are some
specifics that are known to be useful, but
no drug is infallible, and each individual
system is a new test even to the best
known medicines. The problem, after all,
is not so much how TO cure disease as
how to avoid being sick

Practical Hints About Glasses.

When persons find their eyes becoming
dry and itching in reading, as well as
those who find It necessary to place an OBJ
face to read. they need spectacles.
Spectacles sold by peddlers and jewellers
generally are hurtful to the eyes of those
who read much, as the lenses are made of
inferior glass and are not symmetrically
ground Unless the lenses are mounted
in a suitable frame and properly placed
before the eye, discomfort will arise from
their prolonged use. The proper time to
begin wearing glasses IS Just as soon as

Sfnn the Ennlishness-

1t seems to be considered the bounden
duty OF the officials of every agricultural
fair or similar exhibition In the country
to send the President an osteutatious iu-
vitation TO accept free ticket to attend
as one of the curiositles, or rather IS tue
great cut iositv, OF the occasion. IL seems
to be also considered obligatory on the
President, through his private secretary,

ment and honor bestowed on hun, ex-
pressing the great pleasure ii would give
MIN to attend and " ltness the evidences of
the immense progress your section is
making materially, morally ana intel

must needs take up the subject and make
It known far and wide shat the President
has been invited to attend our fair, and
he will most probably De here, as he has
never visited this section OF our great aud
glorious country BEFORE"
Now the truth may not be lattering to
fair officials generally, but il must be
told if il should hurt. 1t is of no Use to
invite the President to visit your town.
He doesn't feel any very especial interest
In it, or In your fair. He doesn't want 10

to see the people OF any other place in the

to Gusn county he wouldn't do 1t, for the
simple reason that he would enjoy him.

hundred OF your citizens Unfortunately

fellow citizen and candidate with small
chance of ever getting there) for Con-
gress."
or course it is very unappreoiative and
unpatriotic OF the President not TO accept
any OF these invitations, out perhaps he
is politely averse to making himself the
Jumbo OF the agricultural circuses. Be-
sides. he gets about twenty such invita-
lions every day in the year, and il he had
nothing else TO do but to attend fairs, he
could devote but few minutes TO each
one, and he would be worked TO death In
less than a week.
1t is said that the President has a
double In nearly every State in the Union.
II the people persist in wanting him to
attend their county fairs 1t would be a
good idea to have these doubles gathered
together in Washington and duly trained
to represent the chief executive of the
nation. They could be thus utilized aud
made TO serve some end in life, provided
they could be made to keep sober, and be
prevented from promising Offices to too
many applicants.

Pave the Streets.

One OF the most important committees
OF the City Council is that on streets and
lanes. 1t devOtes considerable time to
matters which come within its jurisdic-
ton. Doubtless much of the delay in
perfecting plans for paving the streets is
due TO the fact that il has so many things
to attend to.
1t ought not to delay much longer, how
ever, the work Of paving three or four
more streets. The pavement on Whita-
Ker and Dayton streets should be ex-
tended to Anderson street, and Jefferson
or West Broad street should he paved its
entire length. OF the streets running
east and west Anderson. or New Houston
and Hall streets, or CASTOR and Liberty
streets, should be paved at once. 1t the
finances of the city will not permit of the
paving of these streets their entire width.
some of them might be paved only half
their width, though it is ques-
tion whether the temporary saving
that would be effected In that way would
justify the cost that would eventually be
incurred. The other side of the street
would have to be paved at some time in
the near future, and to make two Jobs of
the improvement would be 10 put the city
to an expense much greater than would
be incurred If the whole work were done
at once.
On Liberty street pavement on one
side would answer very well, but that
would not be the case with respect to the
narrower streets.
The present Council will have the
making OF the tax budget for the coming
year, and if the pavement improvements
were begun at once they would not be far
advanced before the city would have
ample means to continue and complete
them. The citizens and real estate own
ers are willing to be taxed for such visi.

will pay for itself in y few years in the
saving of the amount that was annually
expended on the old dirt street in cutting
down elevations and illing UP ruts. The
money that was spent in that way
brought no permanent benefit 20 any one.
The sentiment OF the people Of the city IS
in favor OF street paving, and the Council
will be sustained in obeying this senti-

The nomination OF Abraham S. Hewitt
by the Tammany and County Democracy
for Mayor OF New York is very popular
one in that city. Even the Republican
papers do not hesitate to say that he is
capable OF making one of the best Mayors
that New York has ever had.
He makes his acceptance OF the nomi-
nation dependent upon the nominations
for the minor Offices. He wants honest
and capable men in all of the subordinate
places, and he is especially determined to
have board OF Aldermen who will SYM
pathize with him in his efforts in behalf
OF honest government. He understands
that without the right sort OF Aldermen he
will be unable to inaugurate reforms or to
prevent the city from being robbed by dis
honest contractors and corrupt poiti-
clans.
There is a movement among Republic
cans to indOrse Mr.. Hewitt's nomination.
They could not do a wiser thing. They
cannot elect candidate of their own,
and it would not, therefore. benefit them
in any respect to make a nomination.
II the contest is between Mr.. Hewitt
and Mr.. George alone there is not much
doubt that Mr.. Hewitt will be elected.
Mr.. Hewitt is practical man OF affairs,
while Mr.. George is a theOrist and a
dreamer. There is no doubt that Mr..
Hewitt would make a good Mayor, while
Mr.. George would as likely be failure as
a success. Even the workingmen, whose
caud date Mr.. George is, would consult
their own interests by supporting Mr..
Hewitt.
Mr.. George is a free trader out and out,
and, besides, has some very peculiar
ideas relative to property. Mr.. Hewitt
is tariff reformer. The tariff
issue, however, will not, in all
probability, play an important part
in the contest. The Mayor of New
York mas nothing to do with the tariff.
WHAT is wanted in that city more than
anything else is an honest, capable,
practical man at the head of the NUM-
cipal government.
