Boy Murders a Boy.

CHICAGO, July 23.-Harry Rudolph,

REaIA RKS BY JUDGE PAYNE.

If Judge Payne of Chicago knows as much about law as he does about law yers and is as capable of applying his knowledge of law as he is his knoWl edge of lawyers he must be good judge. At banquet the other evening he made some remarks which will be appreciated by all who know how busi ness is done in courts. He said that the courts have to deal with a tremendous number of men who should be working on the streets or blowing corn instead of practicing law. These incompetent lawyers never prepare their cases prop erly, never know what they want; they are a grieVous affiiction. Yet the men on the bench are largely at fault, too, as Judge Payne looks at it, for the intolerable waste of time in their court rooms, and the too frequent indeeorums. They should shut down peremptorily, he suggests, on all talk across the coun- sel table; they should permit no dis cussion over the admissibility of evil dence unless they themselves invite it; they should throw the plaintiff out of court forthwith if he fails to make a case; they should also set aside out rageous yerdicts on the spot instead of shirking the responsibility upon the appellate courts. T would never let a judgment be entered upon a. verdict that was not the concrete expression of my opinion" said Judge Payne. Another thing the judges should do is to abate the everlasting gab nuisance--to compel the lawyers to condense, abridge, boil down, cut it short, shut up. Tt is a most remarkable case,' he said, that canpot be argued in sixty minutes at the outside.'
 There is a good deal of sense and force in these remarks. If Judge Payne takes his own advice his court must be in many respects about what it ought to be.

The Immense Business Done in the
 Northwest-Fate of the Forests--Festivr
 Seasons Among the Lumberm en- Cupid
 Finds His Devotrcs There-ali Take
 Part in the Wedding Ceremonies.
 (From the Chicago Chronicle)
 The formerly vast and seemingly in- exhaustible forests of the United States are threatened with utter and swift de- struction. Such is the warning of the government forestry bureau, and fig ures are furnished to substantiate this grave opinion. The total forest area in the United States is estimated at 495,- GOO, GOO acres, or twenty-six per cent of the total area. Alaska and Indian res- ervations are not included.
 The present annual requirements for consumption of forest products in the United States are approximately over 24, coo 000,000 cubic feet, made up of the following items: Lumber market and manufacturers, 5,000,000,00O cubic feet; railroad construction, 500, ,000 0o0 cubic feet; charcoal, 250,000,00 cubic feet; fences, 800, ,00o, ,000 cubic feet; fuel, IS, ,00O.- C00,000 cubic feet and mining timber, 150,000,000 cubic feet. If the reader will stop to consider that these appalling figures are given in cubic and not square" feet, the amount becomes all most incredible.
 At the present rate of cutting, the re- mainder Of the forest land in the United States cannot long meet the enormous demands on it's resources. Of the two most important timbers for building purposes the merchantable white pine of the Northwest and of New England is practically gone, very little remain ing. Of the merchantable long leaf pine of the South only about 1 1,5O0 900, 900 cu- bic feet remain. The valuable ash will probably be the first to be exhausted Walnut trees are also going fast. For est fires are estimated to destroy values of about S15000,000 annually, but during the year of 1895 that amount appears to have been lost in Minnesota and Wis consin alone.

SEA-GULL DICK.
He Gets His Three Full Meals Day on

He Gets His Three Full Meals Day on
 fhe Liehtship.
 (From Harpers Young Folks.)
 You need not tell me that sea-gulls have no sense" said an old Rhode Is land salt to half dozen boys who were last summer Il know of one sea-gull. because I've seen him for years, who has as much common sense as any dog or horse or other animal you can name. That's Sea-Gull Dick, the Brenton's Reef lightship bird. He first appeared at the lightship twenty-three years ago, and each winter since then he has made his home there. He comes regu- larly every October and leaves early in March, There's no romance about what I'm telling you here; it is all ab' solutely true. He came along one day apparently nearly starved, and flew about the ship until he attracted atten- tion. The cook brought out plate of food and set it on the rail. The gull alighted and ate ravenously, and every winter since then has enjoyed the hos pitality of the ship. Before he became tame several attempts were made to catch him, but none succeeded, and now the sailors would not think of per- hitting any one to snare Dick. The gull remains most of the time aboard the ship, and the men have arranged every comfort for him. including perch es on the mast and along the rails He takes frequent short flights, never go- ing out of sight of the ship, and swims around in the water for hours. But no matter where he may be, instinct al- ways tells him when it is meal time, and he regularly responds with the men to the cooks call, taking his full three meals a day. n
 "The cook, of course, is Dicks favor ite, since he feeds him, and the bird will answer to a call from the cook just as a dog will come to his master. Three years ago, the cook fell i'll and had to go ashore for a week for medical treat ment. The substitute cook did not pay much attention to Dick, and so the gull did not get his meals very regularly. At length the cook recovered and made his way off to the ship. Dick saw the small boat coming when it was still at a great distance from the flagship, and evidently recognized his friend. He ut- tered 8 series of loud screeches that brought all hands on deck. and then flew out to the approaching boat. and accompanied 1t all the way, still contin- uing his screeehes of delight If you do not believe this tale of the intelli- gent gull, go out to the lightship on Brenton's reef some time after Novenl- ber and you can see Dick for your selves"
