Awful Slaughter of Timber

An alarmed dealer in lumber tells the
Paducah (Ky.) Ne,ss that it will not be
ten years before ''the supply CT logs will
be hard problem to sJlve." He saws
the timber along the Tennessee and

is now nearly extinct as an article of
commerce. Other trees will grow up in
the place of those that are destroyed in
some sections, but it takes at least q full
generation for any of the varieties to
mature into merchantabIe timber, and
some of then will require more than &
generation to do it. In other sections
the young trees are being wasted in as
most shameful manner

The emotional life of a horse is re.
markable. There are instances on record
where the death of the horse has been
traced directly to grief. One instance
is called to mind, which occurred more
than twenty years ago. A circus had
been performing in UnionviIle, Penn. d,
when one of the trained horses sprained
one of his legs so that he could net
travel. He was taken to the hotel and
put in = box stall. The leg was ban
daged, and he was made as comfortable
as possible. He ate his food and wa,
apparently contented until about mid.
night, when the circus began moving out
of town. Then he became restless and
tramped and whined. As the caravan
moved past the hotel he seemed to real.
ize that he was being deserted, and his
anxiety and distress became pitiful. He
would stand with his ears pricked in an
attitude of intense listening, aud then as
his ear caught the sound of the retiring
wagons he would rush, as best he could
with injured leg, from one side of the
stall to the other, pushing at the door
with his nose and making every effort to
escape. The stableman, who was a
stranger to him, tried to soothe him, but
to no purpose. He would not be com.
forted. Long after all sounds of the
circus had ceased his agitation continued.
The sweat poured from him in streams.
and he quivered in every part of the
body. Finally the stableman went to
the house, woke up the proprietor and
told him he believed the horse would die
II some OF the circus horses were not
brought back to keep him company. Al
about daylight the proprietor mounted
horse and rode after the circus. He
overlook it ten or twelve miles away. and
the groom who had charge of the in.
jured horse returned with him. When
they reached the stable the horse was
dead. The stableman said that he re.
NAMED for nearly an hour perfectly still,
and with every sense apparently strained
TO the utmost tension, and then. without
making sign, fell and died with scarce
ly struggle. The veterinary who was
called remarked after the circumstances
were told him that unquestionablv the
horse died from grief. If it is possible
Tor all the mental faculties of the horse
to become abandoned to grief to such an
extent as to cause death, how much more
does he appeal to the sympathy and re.

A Tale Of Summer Days.

A tale of roses and,-roguery, which
has its moral for too susceptible maids,
il waited from the last midsummer
days 1t was at seaside resort, and
young man, veritable Prince Charm
ing, who cannot help 'practicing"
when he is near pretty girl, was at his
usual occupstion-devoted TO several of
them at once He counted, in fact,
this time, four victims to his attrac-
tons. As two, however, were at the
hotel on the beach and the other pair
in separate cottages in different direc-
tons, he had managed to make all
happy without any elashing.
Just before the season closed. the fair
cottagers went with their parents to
pass few days at the hotel en- route to
their city homes. Four sweethearts
under one roof were too much for even
this clever campaigner. He concluded
that the situation was too complicated
for him, and a prompt departure was
/ arranged for. The evening he left he
managed to see each girl separately and
to murmur in her ear tender tale of
love. He would take no decided an
swer then, but if his affection was re-
turned he begged her to wear az break
fast the next morning red rose which
he gently pressed upon her. The last
interview took place about eleven, and
the midnight train bore the young
scamp to New York.
At the first meal on the following
day four young women appeared in the
dining room with red roses thrust in
their belts. The gay cavalier not pre-
senting himself the girls after time
began to compare notes, and all that
worries those deceived damsels is to
know whether their joint lover had any
means to discover how many of his
roses were worn at the breakfast table.

The Jumping Bean.

One OF the most curious products Of
Mexico is the jumping bean, Il vege-
table curiosity, whose feats of acrobatic
agility has never been fully explained
by the scientists. They grow in pods,
each pod containing three beans. Each
segment is rounded on one side and A
shaped on tue other, greenish yellow in
color and in circumference about the
size of large lead pencil. When
placed on a table they roll over aud
skip about, sometimes actually jumping
a good two inches; when held between
the thumb and fore6nger they are felt
to beat as strongly as the throbbing of
strong man spulse. The agricultural
department at Washington has been
acquainted with the rarity since 1854.

$3.50, 561 600, and the domestic to about
1869, 35l, $50 The revenue derived from

greater by more than 100 900 sacks. An
idea of the fever of speculation now rag
