No. INSTRUMENTATION

Ina green charming one in a tropical sea
Dwelt "a cannibal king by the name of Gum
Doe.
Like Flora McFlimsey, of Washington square,
This tan colored monarch had nothing to
wear"
Though his costume was light, yet it didn't
show dirt.
If he fell in the river, why nothing was hurt.
'S . 7s7 - - - > a So t2-f "a
Whene'er he grew hungry, he went on a raid.
And from his fat subjects selections he made.
His "long pig" he tied to a two or a tree,
And cooked up his dinner without any three;
And then undisturbed in the shade he would
snore-
Stretched out on the grass meath the broad
cocoa four.
What happier life could a mortal contrive?
Alas! that good fortune forever must Aue!
One day as the king took his afternoon sleep
A slumbering hurricane rose from the deep,
Picked him up, whirled him around, dropped
him into the sea,
Thus ending the chapter of happy Gumbee.

AS u Result OF Timber Cutting the Rfv-
ers Are Drying Up.
The drying up of once large streams In
Russia, owing to the reckless cutting down
of trees, is giving the government of the
car no end of trouble. A European stu
lent of forestry has been considering the
effects of the removal Of forests in south
ern Russia. There immense growths once
lined the banks and guarded the sources
Of the Yolga, the Don, the Dneiper and
other rivers, insuring q full, perennial
low But a spirit akin to the enterprise
which has destroyed wide forests and desc
lated broad areas In the United States has
devastated the Russian wilderness and left
a wilderness of a different character. The
result US seen in the great rivers Is deplor-
able. "The Mother Volga grows yearly
shallower, the steamers find scarcely sever
or eight feet of water in midstream and
the ferries pursue their snakelike course
from bank to bank in search of the ever
shifting channel. The Don with its tribu-
taries is choked; the sources of the Dnie
per creep downward, and its chief tribu
tary, the once noble Worskla, with a flow
of some 220 English miles, is now dry from
source to mouth"
The exhaustion Of the springs indicates
that this river will not reappear. The Bit
jug, a river in the Don region. has like
wise disappeared; valley and bed are file
to the banks with sand and earth" Accord
ing TO "A Russian writer, a great part of til,
country is threatened with the heat and
aridity of the central Asian steppes. A.
long dgo as 1850, shortly after a famine in
Russia, the effect of deforestation in the
country about the Donez was complained
of. No attention was paid to the com.
plant. Deforestation went on; streams
and springs dried up; spring and summer
rains began to fail, and their cessation,

of the failure of last years harvest in Rus

Novel Relief for St. Johns

Some men seem to regard the problem
Of getting a wife much as they would con.
slider the buying of a horse. The mayor OF
st. Johns, n. F.. has received a letter from
a Maine farmer, who says that he has
heard of the great fire In that city, and
desiring to aid some sufferer, would be
glad to give a suitable woman a home,
He would employ her until they became
well acquainted. and then, if agreeable,
would marry her. She must be between
twenty-five and t~hirty-lve years of age, OF
light complexion, good character and
weigh from $50 to ITS pounds.
