with his sick master on the desert
plains of interior Australia till death
had taken them both, though his own
safety might have been secured with
ease. Their power of endurance is
such that they have been known to
travel over one hundred and twenty
five miles in twenty-four hours, and be
ready to move on if required. Their
keen power of scent and observation is
now appreciated by the police, and woe
be to the criminal whose track they
are uponi Not a disturbed leaf nor an
overturned stone will escape their keen
eyes
Last December three desperate bush
rangers escaped from the Jail at Perth,
Western Australia. They were famil-
lar with the bush, and had hours start.
vet with the assistance of ''black
trackers," the escapes were in the
hands of the police within twenty-fOur
hours.
But the "blackfellow" will not work;
if any duty is required of him. and the
idea is impressed upon him that 1t is
only play. he is ready and willing to do
it, no matter how arduous the task
may be. He will ride horseback all
day after cattle, and stay awake all
night to watch them, if he thinks it is
fun; but let him find it is work he is
doing. and he will take to the bush at
short notice. nor will he return to the
same master. He asks no pay; clothes
he does not need; bite to eat, and his
satisfaction is complete.

A BROKEN REVERE.

Sometimes while sitting here alone half dream
ing
When free from toiling through the liVe-long
day,
There come to me from changeful embers
cleaning
Familiar faces long since passed away.
There come to me the melodies OF childhood.
Like fute-notes waited on the twilight air.
Or bird-song from the dingle in the WILDWOOD,
When deeper shades of evening gather there
And vagrant fancy, like some minstrel rover.
Wakes tuneful notes from memry's golden
keys,
Until catch the scent of blooming clover
And hear the low, sweet murmur OF the Dees.
Until again in woodland haucts ramble
With bare, brown feet, and heart untouched
with care,
Or gather tribute from each grape and BRAN BILE,
AS songful as the mock-bird singing there.
Until, alas the feeble embers dying,
The pleasing phantoms vanish from my sight;
And naught is heard save fearful, sad winds
signing,
And in my thoughts creep shadows OF the
night.
But while tonight, within those shadows sit
ting,
Deep melancholy gloom enshrouding me.
There came night-robed, blue-eyed angel hit
ting,
And all unDidden perched upon my knee.
Her baby arms around my neck were stealing,
Her silken curls across my faCe were drawn.
When in my heart there came q restful feeling,
And all the shadows from my thoughts were
gone.

FOREST PRESERVATION.
Legislation Necessary to Prevent the ID
struction of Woodlands.

Legislation Necessary to Prevent the De-
structiOn of Woodlands.
The situation of our American wood
lands, and the fact that in England
even stringent measures are under
consideration for the increase of the
forests. give the experience of the
smallest State in Europe considerable
interest in forestry. 1t was found in
1868 that an enormous quantity of
wood was being imported into Switzer-
land. and that the native yield
amounted to almost nothing. The
Swiss Government, on aseertaining the
situation, immediately reorganized the
Forest Department, and placed all the
forests under the control of the State.
The owners of wooded lands could not
cut down trees without the consent
of n Government official. Even barren
hillsides could not be touched with the
axe. The severe measure at once pre-
vented the waste of wood, and made
the cantonal forests even a source of
revenue, both to individuals and to the
State. The result was that in 1886,
each acre of forest under Government
control gave free yearly revenue of
one dollar and twenty-five cents an
acre. The example of Switzerland
could not easily be repeated in larger
country where the State is less per-
fectly controlled. but many of the
closely settled countries of Europe
have been compelled to resort to
similar measures in order to prevent
the exhaustion of their timber and the
IL Il 4
that the Russian Government has
undertaken the restoration of the
forests of Turkestan, which had
been wasted in recent years,
and by whose disappearance the coun-
try was taking on the character of
desert. 1t is believed that England is
well situated for the easy restoration of
its forest wealth, and that in no long
time measures which have already re-
ceived attention for the conversion of
our own waste lands into forests in
New England will commend them
selves to private enterprise, if they do
not take the form of State legislation. In
Switzerland the Government even went
so far as to grant subsidy of from
thirty to fifty per cent. of the total
cost of planting forest trees, and, in
addition, supplied the owners of waste
lands with young trees from the State
nurseries at price much below their
prime cost for this purpose. The time
is not far distant when legislation will
be necessary in our own country in the
several States to prevent the wholesale
destruction of forests, on whose pres

Nearly always it is the docile bull

When the cattle are put on the grass

To increase the value of the heifer
ten per cent. teach her to lead.
No man practices economy who does

The man behind the times breaks

Eternal vigilance is the price of

Some men allow their imaginations

The note that is not due till two

Bad tempered COWS. dull plows and

Extend the house cleaning into the

There are now hundred rivulets on
