The Forestry Exhibit at the Fair.

The foreign countries which obtsined
space inside the forestry building at the
Worlds Fair are Japan, Honduras, Peru,
Hsyti, Spain, Germany, Ecuador, Co
lombia, Brazil, Mexico, New South
Wales, Canada, Russia, Italy, France,
Siam and India. Each of these coun.
tries has a separate space and makes q
showing of its most characteristic woods.
Miniature structures have been built,
with arches and ratings of natural wood
and in rustic design. Canada has the
largest space of any foreign Government,
and the various provinces Of the Domin-
ion make an interesting showing of their
timber resources.
The States and Territories which have
interior exhibits are: Pennsylvania,
Louisiana, Virginia, Arizona, Kentucky,
Minnesota; Nebraska, Montana, Wyo-
ming, New Mexico, Wisconsin, North
Dakota, Ohio, Washington, Michigan,
West Virginia, Missouri, North Car
olins, Indiana, Name, New York, Cali
fornia, Utah and Idaho. Of these West
Virginia and Michigan have the largest
space, and the exhibits from these States
are on an elaborate scale. Other States
show peculiarly unique specimens, and
the grouping of woods in tine various
spaces forms a most artistic whole. Sec
tions of tree trunks have been built one
on top of the other, and each portion of
the exhibit will be accompanied by de.
tailed information as to the locality pro-
ducing the exhibit, the area still under

With regard to their social habits,

Their temper is universally mild, they
are slow to anger, and when angry they

If you sat just there with your work or book,

Would you be matronly, staid and grand,
Or tender and sweet as you used 70 be,

Growing closer each year to me-

A beautiful haven Of love and cheer,
Age had been reaping recompense
OF honest labor snd wellspent years.

On these chserless walls till my heart grows

And God only knows how miss my wife,
How my heart aches on with its ceaseless

You we're SO young when you went away,
Only O bride or q sweet wife-child,
But prove BY the tears have shed each day

And dreame ach night Of your beautiful face,

WORDS OF WISDOM.

The lazy dog is pesrered most by the
flies.
A calf ls not valued by the loudness OF
its bawl.
He who leads time by the torelock can
sleep well at night.
The prettiest blossoms do not always
hold the sweetest honey.
Growing at the times will not lift the
mortgage on your farm.
Success in on the hill top, you cannot
get there without climbing.
Be the kind of man that you would
like to have your boys become.
It is no money in your pocket to fail
to make your stables comfortable.
The sunshine of glad hesrt makes
the darkest, dreariest day radiant and

Helsingfors, the capital of Finland, is
the most important naval station on the
Baltic, beautifully situated on penin-
sula, surrounded by islands aud rocky
cliffs, in the Gulf of Finland. Sveaborg,
the northern Gibraltar, guards the en-.
trance to its hsrbor. It is the handsom-
est and largest city in Finland. It has
broad streets, which intersect at right
angles, and several fine public squares.
The most striking among its public
buildings are the Governors residence,
the Senate House and the University
buildings. The University, removed
from Abo in 1929, was founded in 1640.
1t comprises five faculties, has fifty pro.
fessors and about 800 students. IT.

population of 10000, is famous for the
peace concluded here in August, 1743,
between Sweden and Russia, which
ended the war in which Russia gained
possession of the whole of Finland.

Commercial Value of Mummies.

Even dead men have a commercial
value nowadays. From the mummies of
ancient Egypt is manufactured kind of
paint called mummy brown" 1t can
be purchased at any shop where artists
materials are sold. For some time 1t
was alleged that the mummies employed
for this purpose were those of birds and
beasts, such as cats and ibisses, but an
osteologist who interested himself in the
subject found in some of the raw stuff
imported from Egypt certain bones which
were unquestionably human.

CHAPTER VII.

Mat Hyland, you're fool!"
ClHarsh words these, yet tho detective to
whom they were addressed made no in
dignant rejoinder; on the contrary he
nodded his head approvingly, though the
sad expression upon his face seemed
. deepen somewhat.
.-"You not only spotted him. but had.
>m dead to rights You ran upon him
or rather he ran upon you, and you
couldn't land the fish when he'd hooked
bimself on your tackle. I'm ashamed
of you, Mat Hylandl"
The person who was so freely upbraid.
ing the unfortunate detective paused in
his walk, and spat upon the ground to
emphagize his disgust.
Mat Hyland did exactly the same
thing. Lest the reader think this o
strange coincidence, We must explain that
the upbraiding parsonage and the officer
we're one and the same man. Mat was,
in soliloquy, administering to himself q
we'll deserved rebuke.
Not in all the ten years and more that
you've been on the force, he continued,
as he resumed his walk down Clark
street, did you ever make such breok
before. You'd better hand in your resig-
nation in the morning.
They say he cut across TO State street,
but don't believe it. He must have q
confederate, but I'll bet my chance of
promotion, which isn't much just now,
chat he's right in the block where he gave
me the slip. I'd rather he get off scot
free than have anyone else catch him
now. reckon they're all gone, so I'll go
back and make q systematic search for
him"
With this the officer turned and walked
briskly in the direction opposite tho one
in which he had been moving.
The time was but q few minutes after
the precipitation Of our hero into the
dark, dank collar by the trio Of guilty
plotters.
-Ye can't come inl This is no public
house, mind that!"
These words, spoken by toothless old
orone Of woman, assailed the ears of
tho detective as he endeavored to enter q
tumble-down building not far from the
spot whore Cole Winters had 30 cleverly
eluded him.

But there's nothin' crooked goin' on
here" faltered the old nag, as Hyland
threw open his coat and displayed upon
his breust silver star. the insignia of his
official character.

A moment later the detective was ex-
ploring the o d building, which was ten
Anted. by half q score Of families, and
presented a scene Of squslor and wretch
edness that the officer had never seen
surpassed.

BERENICE ST.CYR.
A Story Of L00e, Intrigue,
and Crime.
BY DWIGHT BALDWIN.
CHAPTER W-Continued.

CHAPTER VI-COnttnuods
Cole Winters had heard nothing of the
above conversation, which had been car
ried on in low tones, but the vacant
square in the rough floor was sufficient to
apprise him Of the diabolical scheme OF
his heartless enemies.
No one spoke, but stepping closer to
the lantern, Sears produced bottle,
with the contents of which he began sat-
urating large handkerchief.
@Chloroform!' gasped Cole, as the Pc
culiar odor reached his nostrils.
"Yes," retorted the youthful villain;
'it comes high, but I don't spare expense
in making your exit pleasant"
The inhuman wretch laughed, and, ad-
vaneing, applied the handkerchief to the
face of his victim.
Cole Winters struggled manfully, but
realizing that his efforts at escape were
impotent, ceased them and tried to fix
his mind upon the awful change which
seemed inevitably at hand.
He was fast losing consciousness
when an awful thought set his sluggish
brain again into action.
When, in accordance with the plans OF
his murderers, his dead body was dis
covered, there would be found upon it,
not alone the one bond placed In his
pocket by Sears, but the fifty-nine 9TH
crs, aggregsting in value the enormous
sum Of $500, coo.
For these Mr.. st. Cyr had been killed,
and their presence would establish Coles
guilt beyond all possible question.
Not only was he about to lose his life,
but the honorable name bequeathed him
by his dead father was to become by
word Of reproach.
In sgony he essaye6 to speak.
The gurglinR sound he uttered served
only to renew the pressure of the deadly
handkerchief.
Then men, light, hope of life, thoughts
of honor, and, lastly, vision Of fair
Berenice st. Cyr, disappeared from his
sight and his mind.
Five minutes latter the trio Of Williams
entered the deserted den.
Il told you" whispered Sears as he e1-
tinguished the lantern, and made ready
to open the street door, that we we're in
for run Of good luck. We've got for
tune and won't be az much as suspected!"

green of the pine never withers. where
the gray and unyielding rocks compress
the foaming rivers into narrow gorges -
here, for thousands of years, the powers
of nature have waged their ceaseless
strife without rest, without reconcilia-
ton. The river never tires of beating
against the rocks, the rocks never tire
OF beating back the stream. The noun
tain crags never grow old. The immense
morasses defy cultivation. The frosty,
clear winter sky quivers forever in the
northern light and looks down with
serene and majestic calm upon the scat
tered huts along the river bank. This,

The coast Of Finland stretches due
north until few miles south of Wasa.
At the sixty. third degree of latitude it
makes decided curve to the northeast.
The great blue Bothnian Gulf follows
the same direction, narrowing for a mo.
ment in the Quark, then widening again
and leaning its high brow against Fin
lands breast. With greater freedom
than elsewhere the Arctic winds sweep
against the coasts, driving between the
islands and beating with terrible vic.
lence against the rocks. This is very
paradise for smuggling, and no number
of cruisers would be able to prevent 1t.

smuggling to some extent was by light
