AS result of his Investigations, Pro-
fessor McCook estimates the army of
tramps in the United States at As, s45.
Practically all of them are in the prime
of life and in good health, with moth
ing to prevent them from earning a
livelihood, three-fifths of them having
trades by which to support themselves,
and nine-tenths able to read and write.
And yet they are loafers and non-pro-
ducers, refusing to assume the obliga-
tions of citizenship, and are a mere
burden to society. AT a conservative
estimate, their maintenance costs the
public SO. 90 a week, eighty-four cents
of which is spent for spirits and to-
bacco and if to this is added police
and hospital charges, the expense is
increased to "a. 40 week, as much as
it costs to support the most dangerous
criminal. The aggregate sum thus
required to keep the tramp army in
motion is SO, 169, 900 a year, a sum
double the cost of the Indian bureau,
and more than one-quarter of the an
nual interest of the public debt.
Worse than this, the army is con
stant menace to public morals and
public health, the greater that it is al
ways in motion, in that of those who
are i'll by far the larger proportion
suffer from exceedingly loathsome and
contagious diseases. The tramp evil
is thus a most pressing one, not only
because of its demoralizing effects up
ON industry, but because of the moral
and physical dangers to which it OK
poses the working population.

Not long ago there was dug up in
Ashland "a curious stone with some dim
and crude inscription upon it, 1t be-
ing shown TO an old Oregon pioneer
he pronounced it temanewas stone,
worn rs a breastplate by the ancient
Indian priests.
1t has holes in the upper corners by
which it may be hung upon the priest s
neck. 1t carries upon it a picture of
the sacred wigwam, and at one end of
the wigwam stands the totem pole, on
the top of which little flag was hung
that warned the evil spirits off while
the priest performed his divine func-
tions in the sacred house or wigwam.
This temanewas may coincide with
the breastplate of the Ephod, worn by
the ancient Hebrew priests, 50 that
the picture of the wigwam on this
stone may represent the primary an
cestor of all The temples ever dedi-
Gated in the world, and all flags and
liberty poles OF all ages and countries
may possibly 0e the lineal descendants
of the original totem represented ON
the stone. Probably this Ashland
stone is the only one of the kind now
in existence. Ashland (Oregop) Tid-

The beauty Of the elm is more than
skin deep, says the New York Post, and
high light of forestry gives it the first
rank as q shade tree, both for streets
and parks, because it is likewise strong,
vigorous, and can be grown in SO many
places. The leaves are SO tough that
dust has little effect on them. Certain
kinds of naples also have good stand
ing for shade, beauty, and rapid
growth, though the soft maple is use
less for heavy shade. Oak trees, the
English and the Turkish, though rarely
seen as shade trees in our streets, take
high rank for that use.
