Restoration Of British Forests.

The area Of the woodland of the
British Isles is now reduced to about
B, 900, 600 acres, which is only 80 acres
to each 1000 of the country's total
area. This is a smaller proportion
than that in almost every other Eu-
ropean country. Austro- Hungary
has 343 acres of forest to each ], 900
acres; Russia, 342; Germany 257 !;
Sweden and Norway, 25O; France,

Rains Are Coming Too Late to Save the
Western Crop.
Great interest attaches to the prospects
OF the corn crop 1t affects not only the
farmer, but trade generally throughout
the country, and more particularly In tho
three great corn States, Iowa. Kansas and
Nebraska, comprising the western half OF
the corn belt, where the drought has
wrought great damage. Rains have come
in some sections, but the belief IS that
that they have come too late and that the
yield will be half or even less of the usual
crop and that Of inferior quality. The
eastern part OF the corn belt. however.
will give an average yield, and In case Of
copious rains. which are predicted, an ex-
cess may be expected, so that u fair aver

How Baltimore Got Rid of Tramps.

The tramp nuisance had reached
such immense proportions in Baltimore
that the hospitable people of that city
got tired feeding the vast multitude
of knights OF the road who annually
blew around there at the first sign of
snow and lived on the charity of the
citizens during the cold months of the
wear. Last winter the latter resolved
to change the order of things and
opened up two establishments, to
which the people were directed to send
the genus tramp. Having arrived
there Dusty Rhodes was invited to take
q bath, with soap, and was then dis
rected to wood or stone pile. After
exercising his muscle for while he,
was furnished food and lodging. The
result was the tramp as species soon
emigrated from Baltimore.

The Condor's strength and voracity

The enormous strength Of the condor
is only equaled by his voracity and
boldness. This immense bird often
pounces upon small animals, but, from
the shape and bluntness of his claws,
he is unable to carry anything very
heavy, so he contents himself with
fixing it against the ground with one
of its claws, while with the other
and his powerful beak he rends it to
pieces. Gorged with food, the bird
then becomes incapable OF flight and
may be approached, but any attempt
at capture is furiouslY resisted.
