troubled with an aggravated case
OF dyspepsia. and, OF course. tho
first thing I did was to consult a
physician. As l had always
enjoyed the best OF health, was
worried a good deal-and my
only desire was 10 get well as
speedily as I could. / took
regularly all the medicines as my
doctor prescribed them must say

right. thought I was cured. and
stopped taking the medicine. But
II wasn't long before l was
feeling as badly as ever, and
again / had recourse TO the doctor.
This kept up for some time. until
at last / made up my mind I would
quit doctoring and try some Of
tho remedies 7 saw advertised {.
from day 10 day. Well. this was
worse than ever, and In most
cases ! didn't even get temporary
relief. So didn't know what 70
do, and made up my mind that I
would have to pass the remainder
OF my days in suffering. Well. to
cut long story short, / had rea<
so much OF Ripans Tabules that

Destruction of Forests.

The annual report of the commissioner
Of forestry of Pennsylvania contains
pointed warning of the consequences that
follow wholesale distractions of forests,
and asserts that Pennsylvania must take
steps to replace much of the forests that
have been destroyed. or she will be
great sufferer. Aside from the decreasing
value of timber lands owing to the fact
that matured trees are being thinned out
faster than new trees can possibly grow,
the report calls attention to and eluci-
dates the well established theory that for
ests influence floods, and also have much
10. do with keeping lands in shape for best
agricultural results.
Trees hinder the sun and wind from dry
ing the ground. Their shade favors the
growth of moss. a great water drinker,
or rather moisture holder. The leaves
fend the shock of beating rains. The cast
off leaves and branches, and the dead
trunks of trees, form a loose, thirsty mold,
which keeps the soil tender and open in
texture, thereby promoting absorption.
The disintegration of the offal of the trees
gives back to the soil certain chemical
properties needed for other plant life. In
the absence of forests, the reverse condi-
tions obtain. Heavy rains fall unhindered
upon and pack the ground instead of soak
ing into it, and rush into the valleys in
the shape of destructive floods. During
the present year several destructive
"cloudbursts" and floods have been report
ed in Pennsylvania. 1t is the opinion of
the commissioner of forestry that these
floods may be traced to the fact that the
forests in the sections in which they oc-
Cured have very nearly disappeared.
When the rainfall descends upon pack
ed earth and is quickly shed from the
hills into the valleys below, instead of
being held in the ground, it is but natu-
raj that droughts should occur more fire.
quent and last longer. Springs and wells
in certain tree-denuded sections of the
state periodically go dry, whereas twelve
to twenty years ago they were never
known to fail. 1t requires at least fifty
years of time, and great care, to grow a
forest. The commissioner therefore urges
that Pennsylvania shall set about preserv-
ing the trees she now has and making ar
engagements for the growing of others, as
a matter of self-preservation.
What is applicable to Pennsylvania in
the matter of the necessity for the pre-
servation of forests applies with equal
force to other states. Georgia included.
We have in this state now as fine forests
as there are in the United States. But it is
a mistake to think they are inexhaustible.
They suffer an enormous drain every year,
without having anything given back to
them. This cannot go on a great while
without evil consequences. The matter is
one for the attention of the law making
bodies to take account of.

Paper From sawdust and Slabs.

Many a mill owner has gazed at the
mountain of sawdust and the great pile
of slabs near his sawmill plant and re-
GREETED that these must be waste pro-
ducts. If the claim of a Wisconsin in
ventor is reliable, the sawdust and the
slabs will soon be rescued from the waste
pile and made a profitable source Of reve-
nue.. He claims to have discovered a new
liquid for reducing wood to paper pulp,
and to be able to make fine pulp not only
from spruce. but also from the several
varieties Of pine, as well as poplar, hem
lock, bass, blackgum and other woods.
Edgings and slabs from sawmilis are said
to be especially suited for pulp making
with the new liquor. 1t is further as
serted that the new liquor is much less
expensive than the old one, reducing the
cost of pulp from 30 to 80 per cent The
new liquor also cooks the wood in much
less time than the old, which is to be con-
sidered in the matter of cost. The quality
of paper produced with the new process
is said TO be remarkably strong. 1t has a
leathery texture and ptiability, and OK
clared that it is material that could be
employed with satisfactory results in the
manufacture of the cheaper grades of
shoes, for inner soles, heels and shanks.
If it is indeed fact that a LIQUOR has
been discovered which will reduce the
resinous yellow pine to paper pulp, at a
low cost, then there are better times
ahead for the sawmill people of Georgia
and the south. Hundreds of thousands Of
feet of timber go into the worthless saw
dust pile and slab pile in this state in the
run of year. In buying timber the mill
man calculates this waste, and pays for
his stock accordingly. II he could con-
vert the waste products into paper pulp.
he could AFFORD to pay more for timber.

Staining By Their Platform.

1t is doubtful If any of the republican
leaders are hopeful of any results in the
direction of international bimetallism
from the movement which the republican
senators have inaggurated in favor of an
international monetary conference. The
committee, which Senator Sherman, the
chairman of the caucus of republican sena-
tors, has appointed, will prepare measure,
however, calling for conference, and con-
gress. probably. win pass it.
The republican party in its platform de-
clares that it favors International bimet-
allism, and it must do something to show
that it was acting in good faith when it
made that declaration. Those who were
members of the last International none
tary conference, known as the Brussels
conference, agree in saying that there can
be no International agreement relative to
silver as long as England and Germany
maintain their present attitude on the sill
yer question. These two countries do not
regard bimetallism as either desirable or
practicable, and there are no indications
that they will change their views in re-
gard to it very soon--certainly not while
the price of silver is as low as it is at pres
emit
There is one effect which this action of
the republican senators will have that is
regretable, namely, keeping alive the
silver agitation. The bill paving the way
for an international monetary conference
will be discussed in all probability as long
as the silverites can find anything to say
in behalf of silver, and conference, If
one is called. will serve still further for
keeping alive the silver agitation. Still, as
the republicans have pledged themselves to
make an effort in behalf of international
bimetalism they cannot very well avoid
doing something in that direction.

Nobody will suppose for moment that
the overwhelming vote--14 to 7-by which
the House passed the bill forbiddlng the

Coal has been discovered in Louisiana,

to the extent or value of the deposit not
much is yet known. But the quality Of
the coal is first-class, as has been DEM

otherwise testing il. The coal was found
a a depth Of 1876 feet, during the progress
Of boring an artesian well. When the
samples were taken out the auger had
penetrated five feet into the vein without
reaching the bottom Of il. The samples
were remarkably free from earthly mat
ter. and were compact and clean. The
discovery OF coal In quantities in a posi-

would be a great thing for Louisiana and
