y perfect town is that in which
you can see the farmer patronize the
home merchants, the home merchant
patronizlng the home mechanics, the
laborer5 spending the money they
earn with own tradesmen, and al
animated by spirit that will not
purchase articles abroad if they can
be bought at home. The spirit of
reciprocity between man and the me-
chanic, tradesman and laborer, far-
mer and manufacturer, results every
time in making the town a perfect
one to do business ink.

The people of Oregon are to be

of bills that have been passed by

among them.

in his seat, before some one is con-

Oregon's junior senator's term will
not expire until 1881, yet the names
of persons are mentioned who are
likely to succeed him. This is un-

Congressman Springer, having
succeeded in fixing up one ''omni-
bus" bill for the admission of certain
territories. and so filled it with in
consistencies that it was impossible
for the senate committee to recon-
mend its passage, has prepared an.
other similar bill for the admission
Of Arizona, Idaho and Wyoming.
Evidently it is the intention Of the
democrats TO fool the people as long
as they are in power IN their make
believe attempt to secure the admis-
sion of the territories. They do not
want the territories admitted, fear
ing that their admission means a
death blow to democracy.

A PLEA for the Maple Tree.

At the last meeting Of the Forestry as
sociation, at Grand Rapids, Mich, Mr.
%. Davenport, of Woodland, Mich, read
a paper in which occurred Hle following
statements: IT am here for the purpose
of saving a good word for the sugar ma
pie. | believe that within the maple
belt no other tree lays equal claims to
the attention Of those interested IN the
preservation of our forests or offers so
good and economical means for the ac-
complishment Of that purpose.
In considering the subject 1t was urged
that the sugar maple fills all the desirar
ble conditions Of forestry better than
any other tree, and that, everything con-
sidered, the maple sugar industry pays
a great profit and may be considered in
the light Of q permanent investment,
and that for forestry purposes proper,
where the preservation Of living forests
is the desideratun1, those trees are the
most valuable that yield q revenue with
out the loss of the tree itself.
Timber trees decEre dividend only
at death, and ther0/is o strong tempta-
ton for their destruction. The nut
bearing and sugar yielding trees declare
annual dividends, and consequently there
Is O strong reason for their preservation.
But nut bearing trees flourish over
wide range, and there may be some dan
ger Of overproduction, besides, as rule,
the timber Of such trees is valuable and
there is O constant temptation to sacri-
fee future welfare to present profit.
With the sugar maple it is different. or
all trees yielding valuable products, its
timber is worth tho least in The markets;
it's annual dividends are high, and there
is no danger Of overproduction. It pos
sesses the prime requisites for forestry
purposes, VIZ, valuable product and
timber of little market value. Its life is
about as secure as that of q valuable tree
can be. The product of the sugar maple
is one Of the choicest luxuries, and only
needs to be known in its purity to be ap-

The Girl who Bet.

Peter Birch, the celebrated horse
trainer, tells tho following story:
"Once I was at the Monmouth track
it was this year, too-and went upon
the benches, where happened to sit just
behind young lady Of about II, who I
saw was In great trouble. Presently she
turned and asked me which horse 1
thought would win, and I noticed she
could hardly keep from crying as she
spoke. I told her that I did not know
the winner for certainty. She asked
me to put some money fo1 her on
q horse, and I frankly told her
she did wrong to hand her money
to o perfect stranger; but she
insisted, and I took it and bet for her.
After the race brought her back $50,
and you never saw anybody so delighted
as she was. Then she told me her story.
She lived in New York, and kept house
for her father and brother, and they had
iyenshersS100zto pay some bills. She
had gone to the races, instead, and had
lost $40 when she spoke to me. She was
desperate at the time, not knowing what
to do, as she dared not go home without
the money. advised her never to bet
again, and she promised me that she
would not. But her case was only one
of scores that / have seen; and there
seems to be peculiar fascination for
women to bet when once they. get to fire.
