Then the mastery of herself which cat
shows when, having been caught in posi-
tion from which there is no escape, she calm
ly sits down to face out the threats of q dog,
is marvellous thing. Everybody has seen a
kitten on the street doorstep attacked by a
dog ten times her size, as apparently self
possessed as if she were in her mistress lap.
If she turns tail and runs down the street she
is lost; the dog will have a sure advantage of
her. Even as it is, if he could get up courage
enough to seize her on the spot he would be
able to make short work of her. 1t is case
life and death, but the whole air and attitude
of the cat is one of pure and confident brava-
do.
"You dare not touch me, and you know
it," is what her position tells the dog. But
she is intensely on her guard, in spite of her
air of perfect content. Her legs, are con-
cealed under her fur, are ready for spring,
her claws are unsheathed; her eyes never move
for instant from the dog; as he bounds
wildly from side to side, barking with comi-
cal fury, these glittering eyes OF hers follow
him with the keenest scrutiny. If he plucks
up his couaage to grab her, she is ready; she
will sell her life dearly9 She is Watching her

settling down upon his forepaws, growing
ferociously as he does SO.
Just then the sound of dogs bark in the
next street attracts his eyes and ears for a
moment, and when he looks back the kitten
was gonei He looks down the street and
start wildly in that direction, and reaches q
high board fence just as a catsstail-a mon
strous tail for such little cat is vanishing
over the top of it. He is beaten; the cat
showed not only more courage than he had
but great deal more generalship.

THE TIMBER SUPPLY.


Mr.. A. O. Putnam of Eau Claire, Wiscon-
sin, has made close study of the timber
question in this country. He gives a clear
account of the present situation, and shows
that careful estimates, now being made in
the great timber States, prove the approx
mate correctness Of the estimates made in
1880. The limitations Of the pine supply in
the Northwest were then pointed out, with
its practical exhaustion in few years under
the existing rate of destruction, and present
figures show the tremendous inroads made on
that supply during the past eight years. In
Wisconsin, for instance, the estimate of
standing pine was forty-one billion feet; the
present appears to be less than ten billien!
It is now claimed that Michigan has less than
thirty billion left, and the amount in Minne-
sofa is probably no more than eight or ten
billion. The southern forrest lands have
enormously increased in value, and northern
lumbermen have made heavy investments
there The Canadian lumber resources prove
much less than was popularly supposed, and
the Winnipeg region is now largely supplied
from Minnesota. We are also exporting
lumber largely to Australia, China, Japan
ana mexico.
The timber culture act is a failure in Min
nesota. Dakota, Kansas and Nebraska, after
trial of ten years, the government giving
away its valuable land in vain. Mr.. Putnam
suggests that the proceeds of future sales in
Wisconsin, Michigan and Minnesota should,
in simple justice. be given to those States for
the establishment of schools of forestry, and
the payment of trained foresters to take care
of the forests; and that the same be done in
the southern timber States, where govern
ment timber lands, now selling at $2.25 per
acre, could readily bring Double that price.
Mr.. Putman's suggestion is a good one.
Unless something is done soon the timber
supply of the United States will be brought
down to such 9 condition Of very undesirable
leanness. It is being altogether too reck-
lessly used. A little wisdom now in the
matter will bring big returns.
