 Europe is old country, but there are some trees left there. Central Europe hes still some immense tracts of uncleared forest I lands. In some Austrian provinces, such as Croatia and SlaVonia, the proportion of woodland is so great to the population that \ if it were divided among the inhabitants | nearly two acres would fall to the lot of each person. In the three principal wood pro ducing districts there are nearly 100000 acres of forests, the yearly increase of which | is valued at more than $2,500, ,000. The | export of wood is large item in Austrian | trade.
 Clean, New York, place of five or six 1 thousand inhabitants, encourages the location l of manufacturers there by having board of l trade which guarantees for the employees of l manufacturers locating there homes built I after their own plans and supplied to them l at actual value, the tenants paying thereon
 the rental price of from $5 to $8 per month 1 This gives the laborer the option of owning
 his own home or of paying rent, the terms in either instance being the same, save in the | matter of interest upon the unpaid portion 1 in case of purchase. The plan is said to work we'll for all concerned.

 him the first sausage made from each pig slaughtered and week later called to in- | quire his health. If it was all right the pork 1 went to the market, and examination fees | were saved.

Going out to Fish up 81, 900, 0O0a
From the PHILADELPHIA Record

|
Before two months shall have
passed I said DR.. Seth Pancoast last
night. e propose to land in Phila-
delphia 100000 worth Of gold
and silver bars and precious stones
now lying in the bottom of the At
lantic Ocean, the treasure of the
sunken English sloop-of-War De
Braak, which went down in 1913. S
The main obstacle heretofore to To-
eating the wreck, the Doctor says,
has been the variation Of the me-
ridian, which has been accurately
solved by Lieutenant Commander
Adams of the United States Navy,
who has been granted a leave of abb
sence by the secretary of the navy to
further prosecute the search for the
De Braak. He will act as the chief Of
the expedition, which is the second
one fitted out by DR.. Pancoast to
search for this wreck. The steam
boat Long Branch Of New York has
been chartered for this expedition,
and after undergoing repairs she will
take on board a full complement OF
submarine divers, experts and Off
GERS in charge Of Lieutenant Adams.
Everything will be under strict
navy discipline. The spot
where the wreck is said to be
is about a, half mile off the
point OF Cape Henlopen, and with
the powerful pumps from the steamer
it is expected that the mud will first.
be washed away, and then the divers
will land the bars OF the precious
metal on the deck of the Long, Branch.
A revenue cutter will be asked for to
protect the treasure. The headquar-
tiers OF the expedition will be at Cape.
May point The De Braak, in which
the treasure is supposed to be buried,
sailed from Falmouth, England, on
on June 3, 1797, for the British
West Indies. She was commanded
by Capt. James Drew, with a compile
ment OF Sc men, and in the following
May arrived off the Delaware Capes.
While under mainsail and reefed top
sail she capsized and sank with the
captain and 80 officers and seamen.
The rest OF the crew escaped in the
ships boat and a pilot boat, which
was waiting to take the pilot ashore
Two hundred Spanish prisoners also
went down at the same time. The
De Braak was a licensed privateer
under the English flag, and while on
her journey across the ocean over
hauled two prizes, both loaded with
the specie which DR.. Pancoast and
Lieut.. Adams will endeavor to bring
from the bottom OF the ocean.

The Man Under the Bed.
From the Detroit Free Press.

The man under the bed seems to
exercise an irresistible fascination up
on the feminine mind. This fascina-
ton undoubtedly may be accounted
for largely upon traditional and
hereditary grounds. Scientists tell
US that persistent personal habits
tend to produce themselves from gen
GRAFTON to generation.
Then, again, women will continue
to.look under the bed so long as the
world lasts, I suppose from sheer
ingrained curiosity Who was it
that said, sLife would not be worth
living for a woman were it not
for the constant possibility of
finding out some secret? At all
events. this is plainly the rea-
son why women hide the pockets in
their dresses; why they organize
sewing, circles; wey they yearn to be
come postmistresses. Curiosity comes
!. as natural to woman as singing
does to a cat. This looking under
the bed every night is one of those
innocent little excitements which
brighten the dull hue of everyday
life and fringe it with romance and
poetry. What if the anticipated
boots should some time appear!
There is excitement enough in that
thoughtto keep even a Woodworking
society woman in a pleasant futter
all day. Aye, blessings on those
supposititious boots! What a dull,
prosaic life most women would lead
If it was not for them!
Tol0ok under the bed is a Woman's
ancient and prescriptive right. Oc-
casionally a Witicism is perpetrated
which hinges upon some woman's
having forgotten to perform this
time honered ceremony Butwhoever
sets forth or banks upon such a witt
cism shows his gross ignorance of
woman nature. A woman never
forgets to look under the bed. That
IS a duty and a principle which it is
psychologically impossible for her to
omit. When a rooster forgets to
crow early in the morning or a,
plumber forgets to make out a, bill
In the glad spring time, we. will listen

How Webster Twice Missed It.

Wingless and featherless,

They borrowed the singers dress.

Three weeks ago a dinner party was

TO the library, il so came about that the
subject Of spiritsm was preached. 1t is
very curious how frequently the subject Of
spiritism is preached ON these occa-
sions when groups Of sympathetic people
gather about the ingle in that delicious
hour between the conclusion OF a good
dinner and tho sound Of the clocks bed

composed Of individuals who knew the
world from having lived long in it--barring
