doubtless true that we often act as

the startled youth, sit isn't lesson

gladly have saved his eyesight from
the duty of study; he would not so
gladly save it from the enjoyment Of

to be more anxious for our health on
a rainy church-nlsht than on rainy

conscience our ally in a contest against
duty; we make it our enemy in Il
contest against personal qualification.
But if We regard every moment of
life as pre- empted by duty, if we re-
member that what it is not our duty
to do it is our duty not to do, we
shall find that the voice of conscience
ought never to be stilIed, THAT it is as

seeking as in the harder lines of con-
scious service. There is but one voice
of right for work and for play.

One Of the strangest facts of it's
kind is the almost total extinction of
the American buffalo. Only twenty
years ago, it is estimated, nearly
8,0O0,0O0 Of these animals roamed the
fields and mountains of the West.
The Smithsonian Institution at
Washington has lately been collect

have almost entirely disappeared.
Less than 500 now exist. Most OF
these are in captivity, nearly 200 be-
ing under the protection of the Gov
eminent in Yellowstone Park, and
eighty-five are known TO be wild.
Indians and hunters baye deeimated
the species with fearful rapidity, and
many have probably persisted from
the pressure of civilization upon their
natural haunts. With the opening
of western lands they were pushed
farther west into the deserts and
mountain wastes, where many died
from want of food. Doubtless their

more than other logging companies. Mr..
Frank Stout figures out that the general
shortage in the log crop on all the streams
will be about twenty-five per cent. In
one sense this will be good thing for
the lumbermen, as it will make them clear
up their drives and hold stock up to good
prices. 1t will not ne so well. however
for the raft boats as they will have less
work to do in towing RATS than usual.
