Plant Young Trees.

1t has often been said that as soon as you
can excite u personal interest in the plant
ing of trees the forestry question will settle
itself. One OF the mistakes too frequently
made is, however, the encouragement of
the idea that it takes centuries to get trees
large enough for timber purposes.
properly planted and properly cared
IN, as they ought to be in a well ordered
forest plantation, growth is extremely rap,

within a quarter of a century. Near where

Though nobody has a right to prescribe
the books for another to read, a direction
may be indicated which experience has
proved it is desirable to take. That direc-
ton may be briefly pointed out as the one
which contains the gems of our language.
There are many of them-quite enough to
occupy the time which the average man is
able to devote to reading. When he has
read these, he will lave a right to explore
the bypaths of literature, but only when he
has exhausted the first class should he be-
gin to dabble in the second, third or tenth
rate. In fact, once this taste for the best
is cultivated any other than it will pail
upon the ear and fail to satisfy the mind.
The reader becomes intuitively aware when
a master spirit is talking to him, for he
feels that what he is reading bears an init
mate relation to universal humanity as
we'll as to himself, and therefore possesses
a vital interest for all.
This is a true test of whether a book is
merely parochial or belongs to the wide re.
public of letters. No matter how exalted
or how humble the theme, if it appeals to
u common humanity it is literature in
the true sense. The ''Compleat Angler"
with it's freshness and simplicity and over
flowing love of nature, and the Natural
History of Selborne,' wherein, says Car
lyle, "Parson White has copied a little sen
tence or two faithfully from the inspired
volume of nature" are as truly literature
as the sublimities of Milton's cathedral di.
apason.-Chambers' journal.

A SHARK STORY.
Tho voracious Monsters Do Much Damage
to Fishing Nets.

Especial Co~rrospondencc.l
WEST HAMPTON, n. r., July A-Sharka
are unusually numerous along the south
ern shore of Long Island this year. and the
fishermen are much stirred up over the
matter, The sharks that infest the waters
Of this latitude rarely attack human be
ings, but they do a dead Of damage to the
set nets, and when, a. In occasionally the
case. one 4 found in tho remains Of u net it
has destroyed there Ia an Immediate and
xleetul butollery OF shark. Sometimes the
big fsh escapes before the butchery has
been completed, and 1t must nave been one
who had so escaped whose final ending has
made the bathing master of Speonk station
locally famous.
It was just before noon a day or 70 ago
that he sighted the ugly dorsal fin Of one
of these scaly monsters q little way out at
sea. From It's languid movements, the
bathing master decided that it had encoun-
tered some angry fishermen and announced
that he proposed to swim out a few rods
and complete the killing. The beach loung-
ers who were by approved Of his PROPOSE
ton until he called for volunteers to help
him, but then they announced it to be n
mighty ticklish performance to undertake
and declined with great unanimity to so
with him.
.Then TIL go Alone" said the bathing
master, n he did.
As the fish worked its way slowly in
shore it was observed hat the water near
it was dyed red as if from a wound, and
this lent encouragement to the bathing
master, who swan out to where there was
about 10 feet Of water. Then he edged
cautiously up to the side of the shark,
- - o.. - l.-ll1r .>~In -~. 1>-.l l..
the gill of the fish. There was only a slight
struggle, and then the man guided the
shark more directly in shore and called for
assistance. As soon as the men on the
beach saw that his captive made no resist
ance there was plenty Of help, and the
prize was quickly brought to the waters
edge and landed upon the sand, where it
was found to be suffering from a very ugly
slash, which had already brought it to a
dying condition. Further knitting fol-
lowed without delay, and when the shark
was measured it was found to be about s
feet in length. Its mouth was a formid-
able opening, and it's sharp. white teeth
impaired to it a particularly vicious as
pect.
Notwithstanding the plaudits that were
generally showered upon the bathing mas
ter because OF MS nerve Cnere were tAOSo,
especially among the men who had at first
declined to help him, who could not see
