Supervisor Davis of San Francisco very highly,
as did others of the boreau, who said Mr.. Davis
was one of the most prompt and most efficient
men in the census service; that he was very
prompt in reporting the case of the enumeratOr
who recorded 500 fictitious nam es.
Mr.. Davis has informed the Census Bureau
that the padding is confined to five districts in
San Francisco. 1t is likely recount will be
ordered in these districts

A NEEDED WARNING.


 A warning from Germany concerning the reckless destruction of forests in this country is worth attention. At recent meeting of the Geographical society of Germany Chief Forest Master Kessler called attention to the subject. He stated that in 1880 the %, 70s saw-mills in opera ton in the United States converted S120, GOO, ,000 worth of raw timber stock into various kinds of lumber, and he asserted that at the same rate there would be nc good-sized timber left in forty years. He spoke of the enormous waste of wood through forest fires, which are the result for the most part, of carelessness or desire to clear land sor cul tivation, and declared that the plant ing of new forests, which has-of late year. received some attention in the eastern States, cannot begin to offset the waste He said that there is every reason to feal that America will soon be country i'm poverished for tree property. Mir. Kesslel made the striking comparison that whil, the United States had but Il per cent. O it's area covered by forests, the empire O Germany has 26 per cent. of its entire are' so covered Mir Kessler said that tn reckless destruction of forest trees il America and the indifference manifested by Americans in the restoration of forest is a menace, not alone to the wealth of tn nation, but threatens serious deterioration both to climatic conditions and the fertilit of the soil.
 These are wise words. We ought not t have to look to Germany for them

enough to have contributed S100,0 900 to the Knights during the Reading strike. They have now resolved to withdraw from the order if Powderly is reelected. Their grievance is that Powderly gets too much money and gives too much to his personal followers, and that he has been sanction ing foolish strikes.
 All is not cruelty in Russia. There are in St. Petersburg 73S benevolent institu- tions, upon which the city spends yearly 7,6O0, ,O0O rubles. The maintenance of hos pitals and infrmaries costs 2, 2,500, 900; poor houses, 1,150, 600; >asylums for children, 2, 1924 200; schools, 1,137, ,000; kitchens for the poor, 47, ,000; work houses, 12,000, and lodging houses 1000 rubles The sinking funds of all these institutions, besides their respective possessions of real estate, are estimated at 60 800, 900 rubles.
 An order has been promulgated by the Russian ministry of the interior that every laborer must carry with him, besides his passport, sshire list" in which the condi- tions under which he takes employment are recorded Both the passport and the ''hire list" must be kept by the employer as long as the laborer is in his hire, even in cases when the two parties have an oral agreement between themselves. But still, in order to facilitate the employment of la- borers, the courts shall recognize verbal contract as valid if it is satisfactorily proved and attested by witnesses. I The general lieutenant of the Zooriysky regiment conceived the idea of trying thu efficiency of the ''Okhotniks" Ia sort o athletic division) in his command. He or dered company of sixty-seven men t' swim across the Volga in place where tn | river is over one and half versts wide with two officers at the head and one il the rear. The whole company acquitted themselves of the task creditably. Th feat was performed toward the evening When the swimmers had made about
 third of the distance steamer was no ticed coming on them at full speed. Tn officer at the head of the comnany ordere' ''halt, with faces upwardl' and wa obeyed as promptly as if on the parad grounds. The company waited until tn steamer passed and then proceeded unti they reached the opposite shore Thei swim backward was performed withou interruption.

FREIGHT HATES.


 Some things are cheaper in Great Britain than in this country, but the transporta- tion of freight on railroads is not one of them. The latest official returns for both countries give an opportunity for interest ing and instructive comparison. The Lon don Times tells the Englishmen about it as follows: The official returns show that the average rate charged for the whole of the traffic carried on the American rail ways in 1889, merchandise as-well as min erals, was 975 cent, or .45sd., per ton per mile. In other words the railways received less than half-penny per ton per mile over the whole of their traffic. In some cases, and especially in the cases of such leading railroads as the Pennsylvania and the New York Central, the average | rate charged was considerably less even than this. Not only so, but there has been steady diminution of the ton mile rate on the railways oi America for long series of years. To gC no further back than 1889, it appears that in that year the average rate over thu whole of the traffic was 1926 cent, ol roughly, 66d., per ton per mile. It follows that even during the last six years ther' has been decrease of about 27 per cent British traders know full well that ther, has been no corresponding movement O freight rates on British railways. On thu contrary, the companies who control tn latter have at present pending unsettled demands for very much higher rates, il many cases, than those now authorized b, their private acts.
 And yet there are many people in thi country who loudly complain because tn railroads do not carry freight for less.

If that woman buys ten pounds of sugar. thought I, she will save five cents, but she will lose her train, get a late supper, and perhaps con- tract acute indigestion She will certainly wear out an extra cents worth of shoe leather, and she will get wet and lose her temper with the buffeting of the wind Is it true economy to take such a courses Would it not be better to let the five cents go, and cancel it with the gain in peace of mind and general comfort. Don't you know that there are hosts of people who manage in this same way ! They will chase all ever the earth to save | a penny, and get a poor bargain at last. They are always haunting auctions and cheap stores for special sales. Such peO- | pie tire me easily They are very uncom- promising in their disapproyal of you and of me because we prefer to pay penny | or two more pound for sugar and save | our poor old bones, and they think us | extravagant because we are too wise to ! seek to buy dollar value for a dime In the long run I sometimes think the weasel knows more than the owl, although it may appear less wise on first and casual inspec, tion.
