The Growth of Pine Trees.

The pine is tree which requires great
deal of light. Its top towering above the
other trees in the forest demonstrates this.
Trees which grew up in the natural forest
and must, therefore, in their earlier years
have been densely shaded show far less
growth both in height and diameter than
those which grew up after fire or on cleared
land. Thus the great majority of the trees
cut in the largest pine operation on Penob-
scot waters this year were from 200 to 225
years old, while trees of similar dimensions
cut in the city of Deering ran from 100 to
40 years.
Starting all alike, and with no obstruc-
ton between them and the sun, the growth
of the latter was very rapid. Many of them
yearly grew more than n foot in length and
n half inch in diameter during their early
life, while in later years thinner deposit
of wood on a larger area produced a far
greater accumulation of material. In re-
cent years these trees, now about two feet
through at the butt, had been growing an
inch in diameter in from s to 12 years

People Who Cannot Praise Heartily

The people who cannot praise heartily,
but who must find fault and pick holes
they are as vulgar as the veriest boor who
leans across rail and cuts rough jokes on
his mates as they SLOUGH by. OF such peo-
pie the smallest amount of common sense
that we may possess-just enough to enable
us to go on with-bids us take heed. Give
them a wide berth, for the fate of A. and B.
and c. and D., whom they laugh at, ira
duce tell damaging stories of and in all
ways open to them belittle and besmirch-
that fate will be yours if you put yourself
into their power. Never stay with them;
do not confide in them; give them but a
minor scantling of your company; avoid
them or hold them at arms length.-Lon-
don Queen.

IT is noticeable in government cir
Giles in Washington that the ''condi-
ton of the treasury" has almost
ceased to be topic of active CONVEX
sation. The '.gold reserve" has been
trenched upon and has retrenched.
and has been trenched upon again,
but the country is dead to the agony.
Clerks have quit leaving their desks
to stand in the corridors and discuss
the gravity of the financial situa-
ton" In the treasury department
there is but little feeling of uneasi-
ness. Talk of midsummer session
of congress to vaguely ''relieve the
financial situation" is noticeably alb
sent. The vast and complex ma
chinery of the government appears
to be running along with noiseless-
ness due to oil and ball bearings.
The only thing that breaks into the
steady hum is the occasional PUNK
OF a division chiefs head falling into
the waste basket.

SAVING DOWN A BIG TREE.
Dow the Mighty Giants of the Northwest
ern Forests Are Laid Low.

Dow the Mighty Giants of the Northwest
ern Forests Are Laid Low.
In Washington forest two loggers were
1T work, each standing on a springboard,
the end of which was slipped into notch
cut in the base of the tree four or five feet
from the ground. They spattered kerosene
oil upon the saw, which had begun to move
hard. Then after awhile the sound of its
motion changed from a dry CRATE to dull,
soft mumble,' and a thick stream Of tur-
pentine oozed out of the cleft. "Pitchi"
exclaimed both men in tone of disgust
There's barrels of it in this tree" said
one, land it's as slow molasses in Janu-
ary''
They settled themselves to work again,
but the saw moved with heavy resistance.
you'd better get the can, john" said
the older man, and the other dropped from
his perch.
Jest as well try to saw through stick
of taffy candy as this kind of a tree" ex-
planned the waiting logger. Hes gone for
the water can"
Jim came back presently carrying a leaky
oilcan heavy with water. A wedge was
driven into the tree we'll above the saw, and
the can hung upon the wedge SO that the
water leaked down upon the saw as 1t
worked in and out.
"What good does 1t dor" asked incred-
ulously.
Don't know" returned Jim, laboring at
the saw, "but It makes awful easy saw
ing"
'.Sort O. freezes the pitch, says the other
philosophically-
As a matter of fact the saw did move
more freely, drawing in little cold water
each time. and the frozen pitch, mixed
with water, frothed out in a white foam.
After q long time Of heavy saving the teeth
began to catch more fire., and few more
moments work brought the saw very near
to the under cut"
The fir stands beautifully erect The log
gers squint up its length and say oracular-
ly which way it will fall. They move the
axes and can out of harms way and spring
back to their perches.
The brooding silence of the forest is abso-
lutte, save for the steady CRATE of the saw
in and out, like stertorous breathing. Erect
and motionless the tree waits.
The men nod to each other; the saving
ceases; one handle is slipped off, and the
saw drawn all the way through and laid
back of the tree. One man springs down
and lifts his perch out and hands great
mallet to the other, who still stands upon
his springboard. The mallet is lifted, and
a loud, sonorous chant rings through the
''AIl clear aheadl TIMBER
Then the mallet falls-once, twice, thrice
upon the wedges. There is a slight creak-
ing; the logger filings the mallet aside and
rushes backward; the cleft widens; the
great green head stirs. Then, with a rush
ing, laundering roar, mingled with the !
sound of the rending fibers of the trunk, |
the giant tears his mighty arc through the !
Air. a cloud of blackness envelops the fall |
The air is dark with dust and moss and fly |
ing fragments.
The roar is superb as the tree crashes its !
way through the underbrush louder than |
cannon, but with no harshness-more like |
some mighty breaker that has climbed TO- |
900 miles of sea to beat its heart out on !
lonely shore-Atlantic Monthly.

a Money Saving. Device.

Lewis Leland, manager of the new Rem
rost hotel, Chicago, has invented Il money
saving device which hotel and restaurant
men, butchers, dairymen, crearners and
Others interested in cold storage through
out the country should know about. His
experience with big bills for many years as
q hotel man led to the discovery that if the
iceboXes and cold storage rooms in hotels,
etc, were constructed near an outer wall
instead of in the center of the building, and
q hole or window made therein, allowing
the admittance of cold al from the out
side, meats, butter, milk and cream there
in could be preserved perfectly and kept
fresh and cool, making the use of ice al
most wholly unnecessary during winter.
Hotel men and others pay enormous bills
for ice Mr.. Leland is adopting this plan
in his new hotel and says it has been used
in all the Leland houses with success, RS
i3ucing the cost of ice to a mere pittance in
cold weather. He has no patent on the
scheme, but gives it to the world as prin-
chile that has been tested with satisfactory

A Pair of Lost Glasses.

Book agents sometimes meet with anus
ing incidents. A story was told the other
day of an agent who was selling Bibles.
1t was said that he called at a house and
was met at the door by an elderly woman.
When asked if she wanted to purchase a
Bible, she replied that she had one. The
agent thinking that he would show her
the superiority of the book that he was sell
ing, asked her to let him see the one she
had. After searching for some little time
she finally found it. 1t was covered with
dust, and on opening it she exclaimed,

Could my voice follow whittier thou hast fed.
And find and thank thee would not be dumb;
As misers count their gold. I'd tell the sum
OF all the good that thou hast done and said
The noble purpose to performance wed,
The gentle blame, the fostering. dear praise,
The Kindness that made beautiful thy days
And all thou vast, before men called thee dead
Nay, it must be that thou wilt turn once moro
From heavens high court, bend earthward

How all we love thee-how the world seems cold
Whence thou hast vanished, and the sullen

OF Deaths tide mocks US with Loves over

And leaves us stranded, sorrowful and old.

WHILE the Michigan legislature is
trying to get back to capital punishment
the Massachusetts, Legislature is trying
to go forward to the abolition OF the
death penalty. The debaters of the
question in both states are referring to
the example of the other state as proof
Of the soundness of their particular
positions. The situation teaches one
lesson, the soundness Of which all must
admit, that no infalible method has yet
been invented to prevent murder.
