was driving away toward the town Of

Cutting Trees to Save Forests.

Doctor Fernow, chief of the forestry
division of the department of agricul-
ture, says that trees must be cut down
ana ought to be cut down, not only
for commercial and industrial uses,
but also for the good Of other growing
trees, and all that the scientific for
ester asks is that the cutting should
be done judiciously. The ignorant
lumberman who does not look to the
future cuts down all his forests at
once, while the forester cuts the
trees so as to make it permanent in
vestment. The old fable of the man
who killed the goose that laid the
golden eggs has been wasted on many
lumbermen in the past, but it is to be
hoped that the establishment of the
school of forestry in Cornell university,
the first in the country, is destined 20
work great revolution in the ideas Of

while she was parting with the French

angrily. whatever you have to say

he is stranger and unfortunate? What
has Monsieur Caussidiere ever done to
you that you should dislike him SO
much?'
The young man stared at her flushed
cheeks and angry eyes; then he ex-
claimed

She flushed crimson and turned

Marjorie. "You are a coward, Johnnie

This was too much for Marjorie. she
uttered an indignant exclamation, and,

hasten after her; and almost before he
