Hon. F. l. Vassault, in a splendlds
article beautifully illustrated, in
the June New Peterson. ITO
say that the timber belt, which
lies along the slopes of the Cas-.
cades and in the western part of
the State, covers 10000 square
miles, or about the area of the
State of Ohio; conveys but
vague idea of it's extent. Travel
ing on the railroads which have
now cut paths through it, it re-
quires thirteen hours TO traverse
this belt from north to south, and
ten hours from east TO west. In
the earlier days, before the inva-
sion of man began, one might
travel through this virgin forest
for days without once seeing the
clear light of day. And now, after
the inroads of the lumberman
have continued for many years,
there are miles of impenetrable
forest that have never been trOu
den by the foot of man.

THE HOME CORNER.
BY JULIA TRUITT BISHOP.
Written for the LIGHT

If you were asking to be deliver
ed from all the evils that beset
mortals, ask first of all to be deliv-
cred from the sin of fault-6nding.
1t is my deliberate opinion that
the habit of finding fault is direct
ly responsible for nine-tenths of
the misery and unhappiness that
has possession of the world. Bless
ed faculty of making the best OF
things! Blessed people who pos
sess it! They are the ones who
carry about with them all the sun
shine of life, and who irradiate not
only their own pathway but the
lives of all who come near them.
But given, for instance, one gen
uine fault-fnding woman. and
there ISM house in the country
large enough to hold her, or beau
tiful enough to satisfy her .carping
spirit. You spend your substance
buying her home that you proud
1y think is perfect in all its details,
and when you show it to her and
expect her applause, she says cold
1y: What a pity that these Win
dows are so small! 1t quite spoils
the house" You think that she
will be delighted with your new
suit, which you have ordered with
especial reference to her tastes; but
she exclaims: How strange that
you should think Of getting brown.
You know I never liked brown"
You give up your business and
take every pains to plan AM eNcur-
sion, which IS solely to give her
pleasure, but when the plan is
divulged, she says: ooh, I am
not sure I want to go Ito the
Springs at all. You know l have
always wanted to go to the noun
tains. 1t seems to me you might
Just as easily have gone there
but no one ever thinks of me-

And as for Mary, who has doubt
less had some trouble and anxieties
of her own during the day, why
the weary lines on her face deepen
a little, perhaps, but she goes on
her way, and makes no outcry be-
cause the bread is bitter in the inn
where she is sojourning. But
some day the long repression has
its effect, and she gives up the
struggle. These little troublesl

THE ORIGIN OF THE EAR.

When the fish came ashore, its
water-breathiug apparatus was no
longer any use to it. At first it
had to keep it on, for it took a long
time to perfect the air-breathing APP
paratus which was to replace it.
But when this was ready the prob
LEM was, what to do with the
earlier organ? Nature is exceed
ingly economical, and could not
throw all this mechanism away. In
faCtNature almost never parts with
any structure she has once made.
What she does is to change it to
something else. Conversely
Nature seldom makes anything
new; her method of creation is to
adapt something old. Now when
Nature started out to manufacture
ears, she made them out of the old
breathing apparatus. She saw
that if water could pass through a
hole in the neck, sound could pass
likewise, and she set to work on
the highest up on five gill-slits and
slowly elaborated it into a
hearing organ.
There never had been an exter-
nal ear in the world till this was
done, or any good ear at all.
Creatures which live in water do
not seem to use hearing much, and
the sound waves in fishes are simp-
ly conveyed through the walls of
the head to the internal ear without
the definite mechanism. But as
soon as land-life began, owing to
the changed medium through
which sound waves must now be
propagated, a more delicate in
strumeut was required. And
hence one of the first things atten-
led to was the construction and
improvement of the ear.-From
Where Man Got His Ears, by
Professor Henry Drummond, in
Magazine for June.

a passion when he finds the COttee
cold or the steak over-done. A
quarrel over a miserable little dog
that wouldn't have brought fifty
cents in any market has ALLEVIATE
friends who would have died to
protect one another when the bat
tie ragged loudest; and mere mat
ter of a poor fence and three or
four predatory cattle has set a. men
shooting at one another, when in
any matter of great moment they
would have stood side by side, the
truest and best friends. A foolish
child's quarrel, aggravated by
meddlesome and gossiping tongues,
has put bitter enp1ity between
communities, and brought about
feuds that went from generation to
generation, and populated the
grave yards with people who
should have been happy and thriv
ing farmers.

And so it goes on, through every
scene and circumstance aof your
daily life. Nothing that you do
is right in the eyes Of the > fault
finding woman. She is the per
petual hair shirt, which you always
wear. Her irritating ways are like
the pricking of a thousand needle
points. You know how to meet
and endure great troubles, but the
exaspering little things--they are
the ones that leave you helpless,
another Gulliver in the power of
later Lilliputians. And when the
great troubles really come, and the
sympathy of silence would mean
so much to you, why there she is,
that miserable Jobs comforter of a
fault-fnding woman, and she says
that thank goodness she had moth
ing to do with the calamity for she
thought all the time that you ought
to have done the very thing you
did mt do, and if you had taken
her advice this wouldn't have
happened; but that was just the
way it always had been, you never
had listened to her, and now Just
see the result! oh, miserable NOR
tai, that finds himself compelled to
occupy the same house with
fault-fnder! Yet many great and
wise men have given themselves
over to just such unhappiness,
from which there was no escape.
There is not the slightest doubt
that some one of Solomon nuner-
Gus wives was just such a woman,
and she must have led the great
King of Israel terrible life, too
else how did he get his ideas of "a
brawling woman in a wide house,"
Even the great palace only gave
thai old time shrew more room in
VII ca to make other people I'M
happy, and the King himself must
needs fly for peace to that little
CORNER in the housetop." An old,
old story, waited down to us across
the ages on the wings of a language
that is dead and from a people

And speaking of petty annoy

power over us beyond all endur-

himself for his intrepid courage;
and who would sit in a surgeon S

hero; but trust John for flying into

ing farmers

And it is melancholy fact that
John will wrestle successfully with
business cares all day, and will
have perfect control of his nerves
ali that time, so that the stupidity,
or the arrogance, or the loudness
of the people with whom he deals
seems not to have the least effect
upon him; but when he escapes
from the office and reaches the
front gate at his own home, prestol
He is quite a different John. Then
it is that the children noise dis
turbs him, and Mary must bundle
them off to the farthest corner of
the yard. Then it is that he can't
find his slippers, and it is something
strange that nothing even is where
it ought to be in this house. Then
it is he sees with disgust how John,
Junior, is destitute of shoes, and
the smaller Mary has torn her
dress. There isn't another family
in the land that get through clothes
as fast as his. There is Smithson,
for instance, with FIVE children in
stead of four, and he is saving up
money all the time; whereas Johns
nose is kept perennially to the
grindstone, and there is nothing
within asylum walls. Great trou-
