White Pine Thoughts.

In 1890, according TO one estimate, we
stin had eighty billion feet of white pine
timber standing ia the United States
or this quantity. il is said that fifty bill
lion feet already have been cut. The two
dollar tariff may be counted upon to do
the rest. Canada still possesses vast reaches
OF virgin white pine forest. Under free
trade in lumber some of our small re-
naming white pine forests might have
been preserved IA while longer, and re-
forrs,ati0u undertaken with chance
al ultimate success; but the Northwestern
lumber combination, which controls the
entire ara, is in the saddle, and the
American trees are doomed to early de-
struction.
Among apologists for this iniqutoGs
fiscal policy we find people who insist
that il only tends 10 protect American
manufactures and labor; that Canadian
hogs stin are free. aad viii come to Ameri-
can mills To be made up into lumber and
other wood products. instead of support
ing Canadian mills and tabor. 1t is aiout
as certain as anything can be that the
Canadian parliament will place an ex-
port duty of two dollars per tiaoasaud feet
on timber. in retaliation for our lumber
tanff. Then, as the Hanna Havcmeyer
bin contemplates putting an additional
punitive tax, equivalent to the export
duty, uu all goods bjected to one by
other countries. we probably shall lind
Canadian timber shut out under four
dollar prohibition
The disastrous effects of the proposed
lumber end timber oppression viii lie far
reaching. New York and the Eastern
States have hundreds Of mills and fac
tories engaged 1 Il the manufacture OF
saoi,es, doors. frames, blinds, shelving

supply OF law material they depend uPGn

the Possibility Of future operations in their

from the West VIII preclude the idea OF
seeking a supply fIom that quarter, and
soon they VIII have to face tie alterna-

or quitting the business A very important
Eastern industry thus will be destroyed
that the NoTthv estern IumbeT barons may
add many MN ons TO their present fortunes
and he in a position to devote scme Of
them to the noble purposes Of the next
Republican national campaign fund.
After all. that is the principal object
Of the proposed tariff in any case The
trust and monopoly argument is that while
oppression ray ALLEVIATE votes it also
creates a fund with which to buy then again.
The assumption is not without color of
truth. The campa gn Of 1850 was some

apelogists for the Hanna Administration

KAISER ANNoYs THE QUEEN.
GnwelcOne Representative of His
Court at the Jubilee.

London, June 26.-The presence of Prince
Albert of Prussia a. the jubilee festivities
in London. as the representative of the
German Emperor. hasbeen a source OF great
irritation to the reigning family OF England.
IL had been arranged that the Emperor S
brother, the sailor, Prince Henry, par
tieular favorfie OF his grandmother, Queen
Victoria, should represent the court Of
Perrin, but when the Emperor heard that
his grandmother, while in the south OF
France, had invited her cousins, the Duke
and Duchess of Cumberland, TO the Jubilee
festivities. he cancelled the appointment of
Prince Henry, and iDtrust ed the duty Of
representing the Gernan empire 10 Prince
Albert. the hanusoInCst, stupidest and dull
est--vi,ted of the house OF Hohenzoilern.
This prevented thr Duke and Duchess Of
Cumberland from availing themselves OF
tie Queens inyii alton, for the dixie is not
only an ex-crown Prince of the former
kingdom OF Hanover, but aIso de Jure SOW
ereig8 or the Duehy OF Brunswick, from the
throne OF which he is debarred by Prussia,
which has conferred the regency thereof
upon Prince iAlbert. Under the circum-

ship a prince who retains, in defiance OF
all rights ard international law, the ruler

Had tie Ruchnss OF Cumberland gone
to London and been present at the Jubilee
ceremonies, tbe English people would have
had the opportunity OF gazing once more
upon the mnst magnificent collar OF pearls
in Europe. which. for tie first twenty years
% her reign, was worn by Queen Victoria,
Tut which she was compelled TO surrender
TO her Hanoverlan relatives in 1853, h law
suit between the King of Hanover and her
self having decided that the collar formed
part and parcel OF the crown Jewels, not
Of England, but Of Hanover, aad that from
the moment the accession OF Queen Victoria

four English Queens in succession, must

when Umbrellas Were First Used.

Umbrellas are OF great antiquity; among
the Greeks they were a mark of elevated
rank, and one is seen on Hamilton vase
IN the hands of a princess. We find the
umbrella figured upon the ruins of Per
sepolis; and the Romans carried II at the
theater to keep off the sun. Yet Coryate,
the traveller, In 1911, notices the umbrellas
OF Italy as Tarities. These and other UNI
brellas are only described for keeping off
the sun, which may be explained ny the
comparative scarcity OF rain in the above
countries. The frequency OF rain in other
lands led to their being used for a very
different purpose. Jonas Hanway is de-
scribed to have been the first to walk the
streets Of London with an umbrella over his
head. which he had probably used in his
travels in the East. And in 1878 one John
Macdonald, footman, was ridiculed for
carrying in the streets an umbrella which he
had brought from Spain: however, as he
tells us, he persisted for three months in
carrying his umbrella. till people took no
further notice of the novelty.-Harper's
Round Table.

A Prudent Dutchunan.

Several board of trade men the other day
fell into q discussion about beer aud the
fondness Of foreigners for that beverage
One of them finally offered to wager that
any German at work upon a building near
by could drink a gallon of beer without
stopping. This proposition was accepted
aud q German stOnemason was accosted
'.Wiu you drink a buck etful of beer IL
will pay for it?'' he was asked.
The workman was suspicious. He wanted
to know all about the discussion and the
wager At last he said ''Vell. / drink it (

adjoining alley for a few minutes, but pres
entity returned, smiling, and said he was
ready to make the test. The coterie visited
a saloon near by and the Tcuton drank

Coming back TO his mallet and chisel, he
said: II vas not suraif could drink pail
of beer or not, SO I vent into Chris Olsen's
