Indigestion is often taken for consump-
ton. The word consumption means vast
ing away, and dyspeptics often waste
away as badly as consumptives.
The reason people waste away is because
either they don't get enough to eat, or
they don't digest what they do eat
III the latter is your trouble, take

A Useful Fad.

We had two arbor days in the spring
and it is appropriate that there should
be one in the fall. Some trees bear
transplanting better in the fall, and
there cannot be too much of this thing.
Nothing could be better than to have
this beautiful interest in tree culture
become fad. A tree planting craze
that would line every street and avenue
with shade trees and stock every barren
hillside and,unprofitable field with the
making Of good timber trees would at
once beautify the landscape and lay the
foundation Of future wealth, But there
are trees and trees.
Our trees need guardians, and tree
planting in this country needs special
fostering. Arbor days help this not so

Present status of New Hampshires Forests.

Present status of New Hampshire's Forests.
An ohscrvant and enthusiastic lady
member OF the Pennsylvania Forestry
association has written to the editor q
personal letter, which We give in part
to our readers. 1t shows how the den
udation of the forests of New Hamp-
shire affect one whose yearly visits have
made her familiar with what these for
ests were, while her knowledge of re-
suits which are sure to follow prognos-
ticates the future reckoning:
1.-The fate of New Hampshire seems
settled. The forests are mostly gone, all
the good timber cut, or soon Will be,
and the mountains are green only with
the young growth of hard wood trees Of
inferior quality and no size, unfit Tor
much use When the lands can again be
sold at their old priccs-bctorc the lum-
herman bought them at a high figure
for the ready money in their forests-the
state can afford TO buy them to make
good driving roads and convert the
whole state practically into "a summer
resort. Judicious cutting would have
kept the lumber interest source OF rev.
enue for all time; but alas, present
needs are paramount and the forests are
gone. The Pemigewasset, once river,
is now scarcely a brook, and the smaller
streams and brooks are absolutely dry

with such destruction Thousands of
squatters, toe, have been in the habit of
clearing lands by fire. destroying thou
sands of acres to get the use Of hun
dreds for tillage. The breath of fire has
done more than the AK to defOrest our
country. Again, in remote woodland re-
giOns, where the difficulty of marketing
lumber is great-as, for example, in
parts of West Virginia, North Carolina

WARS ARE BECOMING SHORTER.
Recent Conflicts Have Been Brief,
but Their Cost Has Been EnOr-

1t is fact that wars are becoming shorter
and shorter. but what is saved in time is
probably fully compensated for in other
ways so that they are none the less costly
in life and treasure, says the PittSburg Com
merctal Gazette. With the exception of the
Franco Prussian war the greatest war which
Europe has seen since the days of Napoleon
than forty years ago, and lasted about two
years. The campaigns of Napoleon, of course,
while they were considered short as compared
with some previous wars in Europe, were
certainly long as compared with the wars of
the past few decades. A distinct movement
in the direction of the shorter duration of
wars is to be noticed in the past few CEN
turtles. The French and the American reyo-
lutionS averaged seven years apiece. The
Napoleonsc campaigns covered nearly fifteen
years. The Crimean war lasted from 1854
to 1856 In the War of the Rebellion, in this
country, the world saw the latest war which
extended over four years CT time.
Since 1865, with the general introduction Of
telegraph the electric cable and the modern
system CT railways. war has become matter
of q few months at most. In 1866 Prussia
defeated Austria in seven weeks. Prussia de-
feated France in about two months. The
war between Russia and Turkey began in
April 1877 and was practically finished By
TIE close of that year. The war between On M
and Japan began about midsummer. 1894.
and ended in March, 1895. The present war
between Turkey and Greece seems to be
practically ended in about four weeks from
the outbreak Of formal hostilities. 1t seems
to be shown by experience that two important
civilized nations In these days Of telegraphy
and railway cannot conduct wars OF any
length of time unless the contendlng countries
arc separated by the ocean or some other
national barrier.
