AMERICAN LUMBER SUPPLY.
Planting of Forests Likely 20 BE an
Important Industry.

Planting of Forests Likely 10 BE an
Important Industry.
Looking not very far into the future,
it seems that the planting of American
forests will become a productive in
dustry, says Meehan's Monthly. Pres
ervation of old forests, with their
masses of dry underbrush and fire-in-
viting collections of dry leaves, may
be advisable for some reasons. These
immense masses of firewood undoubt-
eddy tend to collect snow, which by it's
gradual melting furnishes a supply to
the water reservoirs beneath the sur
face of the ground. Snow thaws less
quickly under the shade of trees than
in the bright sunlight. Less water,
therefore, runs to supply floods and
freshets than when the snow is made
to pass away gradually. But this
question does not affect the solid tim
Der interests.
In old forests, where there is a
struggle for life among the trees by
reason of their growing so thickly to-
gether the result is the necessity of
waiting many years before the trees
will reach a size to make them desira-
BILE for timber purposes. Where trees
have room to grow, and are properly
cared for, most kinds of American
trees will furnish useful timber in
twenty or thirty years, and for many
other purposes they can be employed
even younger. 1t takes well on to a
century for the struggling trees in a
dense wood to have any marketable
value.
While good timber is becoming grad
uaily scarceT on account of our annual
forest fires, rising from the conditions
already stated, the demand is increas-
ing and, what is more remarkable,
Europe is already calling on America

RothschIId's Error.

1t may require as much Imagination
to draw pleasure out. of an unspent
dollar as it does to get it from an un-
smelt flower, or an unkissed love, or
any of the uneXisting realities that
poets deal in, says H. G. Chapman in
the Atlantic. Many a laborious and
escetic finanoier must live in a world
of imagination, a commercial dream, as
little tangible as that of the poet. my
food and lodging are all 1 get for my
wealth." said the elder Rothschild. He
was mistaken; he forgot his dream of
wealth. He, too, was one of the poets
of a financial age. Nor, lastly, can it
be that the delight of giving ones self
up to an imprisoned thought, of
which one is as sure as death, and for
which one is willing to die, is not still,
as it always has been, the keenest
pleasure of a human soul.

The Cruelsie. of Benin city Were
Brought to an Abrupt Termination
by Novel Coup = The CannlbAls
Were Almost ParaIyzed.

From the London Mail: The cruel
ties of Benin City having become a
matter of history, attention to the Nj
ger is being directed to an equally
dark spot in the protectorate, namely,
Bendi, an important town situated
about 100 miles inland from Opobo. It
is the largest trade center in the pro-
tectorate, and is the headquarters of
the "long juju." Human sacrifices are
carried on probably to as great an OK
tent as at Benin, and fetch rites are
conducted with equal crulty. At Ben
di, too, is held sort of fetch court
of appeal, to which the natives of the
coast towns and of the interior repair
for settlement of their differences. A
correspondent at Bonny writes that
only two Europeans have ever succeed
ed in penetrating to the town. In De-
cember last Major Leonard and +.
James, two of the protectorate officers,
went to Bendi. The journey occupied
six days. On reaching any village a
palaver was had. The friendly chiefs
squatted in semicircle opposite the
chiefs of the town, who also sat in
semicircle. The proceedings opened
by the headman of the town walking
round the ring holding skull in one
hand, and wildly gesticulating with
the other, at the same time uttering
curses upon all the white men and
their descendants Il any harm befell
the townspeople by reason of their Wis
it. After this friendly act the head
friendly chief with the expedition in
his turn walked round the circle call
ing down maledictions upon the ma
tives if any harm befell the white men
during their visit. This headman, who
knew well the efficacy of new juju Or
| fetch, hit upon a plan which at the
time had an extraordinary effect on
the superstitious people. In his prom
enade round the circle he carried in
his hand an ordinary bottle of SODA
water, and at the critical moment,
| when he had exhausted the list of
curses, he leaped into the ring and
| opened the bottle, the cork going off
with loud report. Ridiculous as it
may seem, the effect was instantane-

impressed with what they called "the

of soda water cOrks always had the
desired effect of impressing upon the
people the power of the white mans

was at once closed and the intruders
were warned to leave Immediately

Thought He Was Racing Man.

From the Westminster Gazette!
Henry George had a quaint humor of
his own, and could tell a good story
against himself. During his Austral-
ian tour one of his friends in Sydney
suggested to the secretary of a local
racing club that it would be a graceful
thing to send Mr.. George a compli-
mentary ticket for the race meeting
then at hand. The papers were at the
time devoting many columns to the
reports Of Georges meetings and dis
cussions on his doctrines, but the
sportsman had evidently not read them.
Who is Mr.. George?" he asked. 81
never heard of him before" 'Why,
he's man of worldwide celebrity"
Does he own any horse?" querled the
secretary. Eyes, two very fast trot-
tiers, Progress and Poverty" "Oh, all
right" said the now satisfied secretary
heres a ticket for him"

Joke on q Phrenolouist.

The jokes that practical jokers play
upon wise men are sometimes as funny
as they are elaborate. A case in point
is said to have occurred some years ago
in England when h1mOr-loving indi-
vidual who rejoiced in the possession
Of fine vegetable garden found there
in one evening a large turnip. II so
happened that this particular turnip
was marvelOusly like in it's shape to
mans head, and bore q very decided
resemblance, too, TO the features OF
man. The joker, perceiving q fine
chance to make point, and struck by
the curious resemblance of the turnip,
had a cast made OF it, and sent the cast
to phrenolOgist, requesting him to ex-
anime its bumps and to make a report.
After sitting in Judgment upon the
cast for some time, the phrenologi>t. SO
the story goes, reported that while he
could not judge accurately from the
cast, it was his opinion that it was the
head of a person of acute mind and
deep research; that he had the organ OF
quick perception and also of perseyer-
ance we'll developed, and that there
We're signs that he was also a person
of extreme credulity. This opinion was
sent by mail, and the phrenOlogist ex-
pressed, in closing, the hope that at
some time he might have the privilege
of examining the head itself
The reply was sent that the owner
would gladly comply with this request,
but that unfortunately he could not do
so, since the original had been eaten by
himself and his family several weeks.

where he prospered and where, in 1874,
he was elected to the United States
Senate.
In this connection a good story is
told. 1t was announced that the Sena-
tor would go to Washington from his
Mississippi home by one Of the Missis-
sippi steamboats,, at least as far as St.
Louis, on his way. The captain, man
by the name Of Lathers, was a typical
Mississippi steamboat captain, and he
was reported to have said that he
would show the black Senator when he
got aboard Of the boat that he would
have to keep his place on that boat, and
If he put on any airs because he hap
pened to be a Senator the captain
would teach him his manners.
AS soon as Bruce boarded the steam
boat he sought the captain and he said
to him, Captain Lathers, am going
to Washington, and a part of the way
as passenger on your steamboat. My
name is Bruce and possibly you may
have heard of me. What l wanted to
say is that know perfectly well what
the feeling of many people who are
travellers regarding persons Of my color
is. They cannot help it, and l cannot
help it, and 1 am going to give them
no occasion for any annoyance while 1
am passenger on your boat. l simply
ask that you see to it that 1 am made
as comfortable as possible, and 1 as
sure you that you will have no reason
for complaint"
The bluff captain stepped back
pace or two, looked Bruce over, and
then held out his hand and said, with
great emphasis, 'By -, you shall sit
at my table; you shall sit on my right
hand on the entire trip, and if any man
objects he will have to fight me-" And
on that entire trip Of some three days
the captain made Bruce his guest.
One Of the impressive sights Of
washington during the incumbency of
Senator Bruce was to see him and his
colleague, the aristocratic Lamar, walk
ing daily together UP the avenue to the
Capitol. Lamar, the scholar, the orator,
the fine type Of Southern chivalry and
cultivation, had the highest respect for
Bruce and preferred his companionship
in the daily walks to and from the Cap
itol to that of any other Senator.
After his retirement from the Senate,
in 1881, Bruce was appointed register
of the Treasurer by President Garfield,
and six months before his death Presi-
dent Mckinley reappointed him to the
same Office.

Accent and Pronunciation.

Pronunciation is a matter that may
be settled with reasonable certainty by
the dictionary, but accent" as the
Toronto Globe points out, is more
subtle thing, depending upon taste and
temperament. Most disputes about ac-

events I don't call fush feGsh. An En-
glish writer deplores the "CanadiaS
accent''-a cruel blow, for the Gang
dian thinks he has an English, not an
American, accent-but the Globe re-
torts: Take three educated men. one
from England. one from Scotland and
one from Ireland, and their prOnuncia-
tion. so far as it can be defined by a
dictionary, will be the same, yet there
will be such a difference that the na-
tionaIity of the speaker viii be at once
detected" Then, again, people often
make the mistake of comparing the
speech of an educated person in one
place with that of an educated one in
another place. ITO say we call OEr

like saying the Londoners call one of
their public resorts Ide Park"

Poor as were the majority of the few Gu
bans who lived in the United States be.
fore the beginning of the revolution. they
listened to the eloquent appeals of MART
and gave him all they had on earth to lib
crate Cuba from Spain. Marti was ap-
pointed delegate of the party, and his
faithful friend, Benjamin J. Guerra, was
made treasurer. There was not much
money then in the safes of the afterward
famous Junta and their funds were soon
exhausted by an unsuccessful attempt to
start an expedition from the South. But
Marti had obtained the cooperation Of
Gen. Maxine Gomez and Gen. Antonio
Maceo, two veterans of the last war. He
knew that the discomfort against Spain
was deep throughout the island. He had
important connections with conspirators
in all the provinces. He gave without hes
itation the orders for the uprising and
went to Santo Domingo to join Gen. Co
mez and take, with him, the field.
At that grave and decisive moment the
total funds Of the patriots amounted to
not more than $4,000. 1t is wonderful
that with sum, comparatively speaking,
so paltry for SO great a purpose, a war
should have been raised which cost Spain
up to February, 1898, besides the sacrifice
of so many of her soldiers, 50,000,0 900
and caused to the United States a net loss
In trade and business of 100000, 900.
On May 10, 1895, Marti was killed in
the engagement at Dos Rios. but his work
had already been done. He had landed on
April IL with Gen. Gomez at Sabana la
Mar, on the southern coast of Cuba. after
Issuing at Monte Cristi a revolutionary
manifesto, and had had time before his
death to convoke the representatives of all
the Cuban provinces to a general assem-
bly, to elect provisional government and
frame constitution. If this was not
done until later, in September of the same
year, at the town of Jimaguayu, it was
not the less true that from the first days
all the patriots, was to organize a republic
with popular institutions.
Two months before Marti's death Gen.
Antonio Maceo had landed at Duava, near
Baraeoa, Santiago de Cuba province.
With handful of men and a few rifles
and cartridges, small open boat brought
him to Cuba from Jamaica. But his name
and his presence were enough to make
Spain tremble. He and his heroic broth
er, Jose Maceo, were surrounded by SUI
perior Spanish forces on the day of their
landing. They broke through the Span
5sh lines and made their way into the
country. In a few days, as soon as the
news spread of their arrival, the province
OF Santiago de Cuba rose in arms and
Antonio Maceo had around him more than
10000 Cuban soldiers.
The revolution was saved The few
patriots who took up arms on Feb q at
-Baire and Manzanillo had courageously
resisted under Gen. Bartolome Maso. now
Cuba's president, the attacks of the col
umns Of the Spanish Gen. Lachambre, as
