Growing Timber for Profit.

The State Geologist of New Jersey, in his
annual report for 1885, just published under
the head of forestry, furnishes some highly
significant statistics and suggestions. He
says that it has long been recognized by
real experts in forestry that the art could
not be successfully introduced here until
the planting and cultivation of timber
could be made profitable commercially.
To abstain from wasteful cutting of timber,
and to enforce measures for the prevention
of forest fires, is not forestry; it is but the
beginning of an approach to that scientific
handling of forest resources which COM
bines planting, protection and continuous,
regulated cutting, so as to make the forest
q perennial source of revenue, without de-
stroying the productive capacity of the
land. or exterminating valuable species
of timber through ignorant culture.
The time appears to have arrived in sew
eral parts of the country, and notably in
New Jersey, when experiments in forestry
can be undertaken for commercial purposes.
Professor Shocks recommendation of the
cultivation OF locust timber on the 100000
acres of waste land of the cretaceous forma-
ton in New Jersey is a case in point. That
such culture will be fairly profitable, upon
the maturity of the timber, is now beyond
doubt The one element that remains to
be secured, in order to give the industry a
sure footing, is such general recognition
of its security as will result in progressive
annual increase in the market value of
growing timber, so that man embarking
in such an enterprise need not feel that,
unless he waits and spends for twenty-five
or thirty years, his investment will be prac-
tically worthless. AT present as a general
rule, ii may be said that land covered with
timber nearly or quite ready to cut has an
increased value, but that there is no pro-
pertionate market value for timber only
half grown

Samantha on the License Question

How can we help workin', Sister Mink
ley? How can we hold our hands up and
rest on our feather-beds? fla deadly serpent
had broken loose from some circus, and was
a wreathin' and twistin' his way through
Jonesville, swallerin' down a man or
woman every few days, would men stand
with their hands in their pockets or
leanin' up aginst barn-doors a Within,
arguin' feebly from year to year whether it
was best to try to catch the serpent and cut
its head off, or whether it was best, after
all, to let him go free? After they had
seen some of their best friends swallered
down by it, wouldn they make an effort
to capture it? Wouldn't they chase it into
any hole they could get ii into? Wouldn't
they turn the first key on it they could get
hold of? And if it broke loose from that,
wouldn't they try another key, and an
other, till they got one that would hold
him?
az Do you suppose they would rent out
that serpent at so much year to crunch
and swaller folks accordin' to law2 And
would it be any easier for the folks that
was crunched and swallered, and for the
survivin' friends of the same, if they was
killed by Act of Congress? What would
such law be thought of, Sister Minkley
And that is nothin' TO the laws as they be.
For what is one middlin' sized serpent in a
circus, that couldn't eat more one man
week with any relish to this intempennce
that swallows down hundred thousand
every year. and is as big as the Great Mid
gard serpent have heard Thomas j. read
about, whose folds encompassed the earth
Sister Minkley sithed so loud that it
sounded some like groan, and | KEEP on
in dreadful eloquent way:
"' We have got to take these things to-
home, Sister Minkley, in order to realize
'em. Yours and mine are as far apart as
the poles when we are talkin' about such
things. As a general rule we can bear
other folkses trials and sufferin's with resig-
nation. When it is your brother and hus-
band that is goin' the downward road, we
can endure it with considerable calmness
but when it is part of my OWN heart, my
Willie or my Charley that is goin' down to
ruin, we feel as if men and angels must
help rescue him. 1t was this that sent
forth the wonderful Woman's Crusade,
that made tender, timid women into heroes
willin' to oppose their weakness TO banded
strength. 1t was this that made victory
possible to them. What was the crusade
to the Holy Land that l have heard
Thomas ]. read about to this? That was
to protect the sepulchre where the body of
our Lord once laid, but this was to defend
the living Christ, the God in man. -

THE BoYoorrER's sAruHDAY NIGHT.

We We got them all thoroughly boycotted now, y
resolute workingman said
But Jennie declares that she doesn't see how
Or where we are going to get bread.
The bake-shop began 1t we boycotted that,
With those who continue to buy,
And told all the people just what we were at,
Denouncing the bread and the pie
" The pig-headed butcher went there for his
buns,
The grocer went there for his bread
We boycotted both, and so bOycotting runs,
And that is the way it is spread
The people who dealt with those boycotted
folk
We speedily boyeotted next;
But keeping the list declare is no joke,
And ne'er was my head so perplexed.
We're boycotting here and boycotting there,
And mean to succeed or to sink
But Jennie insists that she doesn't know where
Topurchase our victuals and drink.
We're bound to keep up the good work, never
fear,
To conquer or die in the fight
But Jennie has naught in the cupboard to cheer
The boycotters Saturday night

sniders CRAY over Music.

While a gentleman was watching some
spiders it occurred to him to try what effect
a tuning fork would have on the insects.
He suspected that they would regard the
sound lust as they were in the habit of re-
earding the sound made by fly. And sure
enough they did. He selected large, ugly
spider that had been feasting on flies for
two months. The spider was at one edge
of his web. Sounding the fork he touched
a thread at the other side of the web, and
watched the result. Mr.. Spider had the
buzzing sound conveyed to him over his
telephone wires, but how was he to know
on which particular wire the sound was
travelling? He ran to the center of the
web very quickly, and felt all around
until he touched the thread against
the other end of which the fork was
sounding; then, taking another thread
along, Just as man would another piece of
rope, he ran out to the fork and sprang
upon it. Then he retreated little way and
looked at the fork. He was puzzled. He
had expected to find buzziug fly. He got
on the fork again and danced with delight.
He had caught the sound of the fly, and it
was music to him. 1t is said that spiders
are so fond of music that they will stop
their spinning to listen, and man once
said that when he retired to his room for
quiet before dinner and played the flute,
large spiders would come on to the table
and remain quite still, running away as fast
as their legs could carry them directly he
had finished. BROOKLYN Eagle.
