The Northwestern Lumberman,
which few years ago took the ground
that the supply of white pine in the
Northwestern States was sinexhaustible,
now shows by what it believes to be
authentic figures that the shortage in
one district alone for the current year
will be 700, 000,00 feet, and informa-
tion points to general shortage in
all the Northwestern pine territory,
running into billions of feet.

Carl, of Denmark, and Princes George

Egypt is a gorgeous machine, almost

A LESSON IN LOVE.

Love is not wise" they say
Those sage advisers that have lived and
died,
And in their sterner moments put aside
The arch intruder from their way
'Love is not WISE" they say.
They seek to frighten thee
Thou who art far from their old, stupid
world,
And on the airy wings OF youth art whirled
Above all practically;
They seek TO frighten thee.
Decline their wisdom now;
And seek that only that cur hearts perceive,
Only that grand, great bliss which believe
Comes from our spirits secret VOW
Decline their wisdom now!
edmond Picton, in Times-Democrat.

The struggle for supremacy between
gas and electric light has been a de-
tormined one. Electric light has made
wonderful progress in point of cheap
ness since 1877, but the gas men are
also advancing. Formerly gas was
made wholly from coal. Later on coal
and petroleum combined known as
water gas) came to the front and re-
duced the cost materially, and now
another big step has been taken-the
production of gas wholly from petro-
leum. A plant of that description for
making both fuel and illuminating
gas is building at Haverstraw, N. Y.
Gas at fifty cents thousand is bound
to come, maintains the New York Re-
corder.

WHERE THE CATTLE COME TO

At evening, where the cattle come to drink,
Cool are the long marsh-grasses, dew
cool
The alder thickets and the shallow pool,
And the brown clay about the trodden brink
The penslve afterthought OF sundown sink
Over the patient acres given to peace;
The homely cries and farmstead noises
cease,
And the worn day relaxes, link by link.

Breathes in this mild benIgnity of air,
These dear familiar savours Of the soil

The simple dignity Of common toll,
And the plain wisdom of unspoken prayer

A business man remarks that it is
wonderful what effect the speed of
elevators has on the manners of men
in transacting business. Go into an
office building where the elevators
rush up and down like flash, you
will find the effect reproduced on the
men who do business there. 1t is
quick, sharp, nervous work. Where
the elevators are slow there is more
deliberation and conservatism.

A French statistician says that the
number OF men and women in France
is more nearly equal than in any other
country of the world, there being only
1907 women to 1000 men. In Switzer.
land there are 1000 men to 1000 wo-
men, and in Greece only 933. The
conditions in Hong Kong, China, ac-
cording to this authority, are ap.
palling, there being only 366 women
to 1000 men.

year-old children entering Boston
schools had never seen robin, eigh.
teen per cent. had never seen a COW,
some thinking it as big as their

about milk, cheese, butter, leather,

never seen growing corn, blackberries

not know beans"

A man whose business it is to solicit

odicals complains that doctors are
feeling the hard times, remarks the
Chicago Herald. Many decline to

are seeking advice at the hands of less
expensive men than they have usually

wonderful Speed OF Atlantic Liners

The highest recorded speed on the
Atlantic as an average for the whole
passage is 2l.9 knots per hour, per-
formed by the Ounard steamer Luz

The direct and indirect losses caused

stopped will represent a loss to en-
ployes of, let us say, at least SIX times
as much as that suffered by the com.
panies. Hundreds of factories were
obliged to close from lack Of coal or
coke The wages lost in these were
five times the amount lost by the manu-.
factories. The beef companies lost
hundreds of thousands and California

"There was once a monarch Of old" I say, 'yVho sat where the beach and the breakers
 met. Roll backt' he said to the waves one day, For the royal feet must not bo wetl But the waves rolled on. For things there
 be, tell her, that mind not majesty. And silent and shy Is the Sandman old, And pever. I'm sure since the world began, Has anyone seen the sands Of gold or spoken a word to the kind old man But perhaps, when the twilight's gold turns
 gray, you may see the old Sandman pass thIs way. "For your majesty's eyes arc young and
 bright.
 Though mine with the dust of time are dim And possibly queens have a c!oa.c- sight Than subjects who sway to a sovereign's
 whim. But I'll watch for him, Sweetheart and Queen,
 say And speak fl see him pass this way" But the Sandman camel for tho young eyos
 dropped,
 And the small mouth curved in a drowsy Then down to her majestys lips stopped. And kissed her and whispered prayer the
 while; 70 Thou that giveth Thy loved ones sleep. This night her majesty safely keep"

 Do you doubt that hundreds of such cases reported to us as cured by Golden Med ical Discovery were genuine cases of that dread and fatal disease You need not take our word for it. They have in nearly every instance, been so pronounced by the best and most experienced home physicians, who have no interest whatever ill his representing them. and who were often strongly prejudiced and advised against trial of "Golden Medical Discovery, " but who have been forced to confess that 1t surpasses, i'll curative power over this fatal malady, all other medicines with which they are acquainted. Nasty cod liver oil and its filthy emulsions and mixtures, had been tried in nearly all these cases and had either utterly failed to bene- fit, or had only seemed to benefit a little for a short time.

 Bud" Pangborn, for several years and in various capacities connected with the shcriff's and constable's offices and the police department Of Little Rock, now fugitive from justice, has been heard from. Two indictments hang over him-one in Cleburne county for bigamy and one in Little Rock for malfeasance in office. He was indicted at Little Rock last winter and a bench warrant issued for his arrest It was never served, because he suddenly dis appeared.
 Before appearing in Little Rock he deserted his wife and family in Gle burne county, and in less than three months afterward married Miss Avalo- mia Pittman, of the capital city, whom he also deserted. Shortly before his departure he organized a mob and took from the penitentiary a negro named Thomas, charged with assaulting white child. and hanged him to a tele- phone pole in the heart of the business part of the city. All efforts to locate Pangborn have proven unsuccessful,
 
 in Little Book know ofhis whereabouts. He wrote letter from Lansing, Mich, to one of the newspaper men of Little Rock. He says:
