Of the grass always incline toward the
south, and that they are less green on the
northward side. In the forest the slender
twigs OH the boughs bend southwark, it
may be, that only the trained eye can de-
tect the DETECTION; yet it is there. The
moss on the treetrunks is always on the
north side, the bark is smoother and
more supple on the east than toward the
west, and southwark the mildew never
comes.
Thus does this unlettered savant box
the compass in the wilderness.
The timber-cruiser is hero. lie is a
forest-king. The wealth OF the woods is
his. He always travels alone. His acts
OF courage, endurance, and skill are never
witnessed by others and are never boasted
OF by himself. Indeed, his successes or
failures are never talked about, save to
the directors of the lumber companies
who employ him, and to whom he makes
a infinitely detailed report. He has prob
ably the best memory known to man, for
he will return from two months "cruise"
and be able to locate accurately every
tract Of valuable hcmlock timber in a
hundred square miles Of worthless woods
and tamarack.
He undertakes the most arduous Jour
neys without providing more than a
blanket and few days provisions; he
confronts all kinds Of dangers, mindful Of
their inconvenience, but fearing them not,
because he studies nature OH CONNER
cial basis. In brief, he is true philoso-
pher; always prepared for the unex-
pected; happy, because ignorant Of the
relative values of comfort and discomfort,
and brave, because he is an .egotst who
believes thoroughly in his own abilities.
His is the task of locating the land
scrip that capitalists and large corpora
tons have purchased from the govern
ment. He precedes the woodsman, the
AK and the saw, just as the posttrader
precedes the teacher and the preacher.
He is to tile advancing lumberman what
the Don Cossack is to the Russian host.
The location OF choice tract of timber
is a secret to be guarded with his life.
Weeks, even months, may intervene be-
fore the lands can he "taken up" and en-
tered upon the records at Washington.
The painless forest is his home, solitude
his companion, and, like his brother on
the "multitudinous sea-" he often dies
alone, and his unbured body becomes
part OF the elements of nature he so init
mately courts. He is new to literature,
unknown to song and story.-Julius
Cham bers, in the March Century.

A Disputed Case

Many persons dispute the que stion as
to whether or not bsldoess caused eth
er by disease or neglect can be cured.
In deciding the question allow us to say
that most cases can be cured while
others can not. Only specialist OF
years of experience can tell that. Prof.
Birkholz, the world-rsnowned German
specialist of the Masonic Temple, Chi
cago, where those who desire good
head of hair or beard can consult him
10 private and free of charge. After a
thorough examination, which costs you
nothing, we will tell on whether ornot
you may procure that trait of personal
adorums mt SO n scessarY to your exist
ence. and if We find that the TO licles
are not dead we will treat you and
guarantee the results or ask no pay

Danger from Catarrh /.

The most important feature about
that very common complaint, catarrh
in the head, is its tendency to develope
into some other more serious and dan
gerous disease. The foul matter drop
ping from the head into the bronchial
tubes or lungs is very liable to lead to
bronchitis or consumption, that
destroyer which causes more deaths in
this country than any other disease.
AS catarrh originates in impurities in
the blood, local applications can do but
little good. The common sense meth.
cd of treatment is to purify the blood,
and for this purpose there is no pre-.
paration superior to Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla. The powerful action OF this med
icine upon the blood expels every i'm.
purity. and by so doing cures catarrh
and gives health to the entire organi m.

A CITY IN RUINS.
An Earthquake in Argentine Re-
public Destroys La Rioja.

lage Swallowed Up-Loss of Life ~
Estimated at 1900.

BUENos AYREs, Oct. 30.-A CORE
spondent at La Rioja, capital of the
province of the same name, telegraphs
that the city has been ruined by
Sunday nights earthquake. The
churches, schools and public edifices
were all thrown down. The people
are camping out in the neighborhood.
The scene was horrible one, women
shrieking and fainting on every hand
as the walls came crashing down. Two
sisters of mercy were killed and many
more are now entombed beneath the
ruins
The governor fears that the killed
and wounded throughout the province
must number at least 1000, as many
of the outlying towns also suffered
Not a house in town is without dam
age. 1t is reported that in various
parts of the province the ground
opened and geysers of boiling water
and mud spouted forth.
Couriers continue to arrive here with
news of the damage wrought in the
various departments and towns. The
village of Del Arbordon has been com
pletely swallowed up in the huge gaps
which opened in the ground.
South 81 Buenos Ayres only slight

age. La Prensa has opened public
subscription list and the town of La
Rioja has contributed 10000 milreis.
1t is estimated that at least 10000 per-
some are homeless.
The earthquakes occurred, according to re-
ports, in the provinces of san Juan and Rioja.
The two provinces are among the most pros
porous in the republic. A little over 100 miles
to the south of the city of San Juan, capital Of
the province of that name is Mendoza. In
1861 Mendoza was thriving city of 2s 900 inhab-
itants, but was utterly destroyed in that year,
only about 1000 of the inhabitants escaping
death in the catastrophe. Mendoza and San
Juan are almost equi-distant from the great
active volcano of Aconcagua. The regions in
the plains along the foot of the Andes there
are all subject to frequently recurring
earthquakes and the buildings in the
cities have to undergo constant repair from
the damage from that source. San Juan ana
Rioja are important cities, the latter being the
center of the wine industry, The two prov
inces are devoted to Embarrassing. canning and
wine-making. AS many as two earthquakes a
week not unfrequently occur in these prov

Aeronautics.

We do not know at how early date
man first envied the birds, their power
of passage through the air, but there is
no aliusion in classical lore to any
practical attempts, unless the story OF
Daedalus and Icarus has some fJunda-
ton IN fact, The first trial ct aerial
transportation is little more than a
century ago, when. on June 5, 1884,
the Monigolfier brothers, at Annonay,
near Lyons, France, sent up a small
balloon inflated with hot air, but no
person accompanied it, The following
October one Roster made an ascension
ut Paris. the balloon being inflated
with hydrogen gas. The dates of first
ascsnsions across the channel are:
England, August, %. 1884; Ireland,

land. There have been some frightful
accidents to aeronauts, but really ba-
booming is not particularly dangerous.
From 1888 to 1889, fifty six years. four
hundred and seventy-one persons made
sions, many of them a great num-
Der of times, and only nine were killed
or fatally injured. But, though balloon
assertions can be easily and safely
made, no reliable method of direction
has been discovered, so that pract cal
navigation Of the air does not seem
near at hand. For a time then, we
must rely upon the railroads as a
means of trayel, and are really quite
well of when such comprehensive and
well equipped systems as the Burling-
ton Route are ct our service. For tick
