Ruined nv Mules.

An Alabama farmer says that many
negroes in the south are ruined by
mules, and he thinks he has proved it.
He owns a great deal of farm .and,
which he rents to negroes on condition
that they shall do theirwork with an OK
instead of mule. AS a result, all his
tenants are prosperous, and pay their
rent promptly. The OK, he explains, is
entirely capable in all the requirements
CT the cotton patch, but he has his lin
nations, and his colored master does
not think of mounting him and riding
off on useless errands or pleasure trips.
AS the negro cannot ride to distant
churches, cake-walks or "hoe-downs,"
and as he will not walk, he goes to bed
and is rested and ready for labor in
the morning. So far as the inference
from this experiment goes, the negro,
plus mule, is shiftless and unrelia-
bic citizen, but eliminate the mule and
substitute an OK, and he becomes reg
uiar in his habits, businesslike and pros
porous.

A Niles (Alich.) exchange reports
that Charles A. Chopin, of that town,
one of the richest men in the state.
bought land there years ago and tried
to find copper; failing, he endeavored
for 20 years to sell the ground, then,
when he was 60 years old, discovered
just in time that he owned what were
to become the richest iron mines in the
country.

An eastern exchange says that Rev.
w. H. Burley, of Port Jarvis, N. Y, was
confronted by most serious problem
recently. He is the owner of cram
berry marsh, and it SO happened that
his flock and his cranberry marsh need
edhis attention the same day. The flock
wanted sermon, and the cranberries
wanted to be picked. 1t wouldn't do to
neglect the flock and neither would it
do to neglect the berries. Therefore,
with due regard to the relative impor-
lance of each, he sent his wife to con-
duct the services and preach the SER
mon while he went after the berries.

Really the saddest part of all the IN
happy story is the death of many of the
noble women who went to the fever
stricken camps and gave their lives 70
the cause. Their heroism is not cele
brated as that of the men who stormed
the hills, but it is just as fine in quality
and great deal larger in quantity.

Destructive Forest Fires.

The fires that have been raging in the
forests of Wisconsin and Colorado are
likely TO prove more destructive of our
timber wealth than any of previous &C.
currence. This is disheartening ex-
perience, because this year, for the first
time, a new force of government Off
Gals, known as forest rangers, has been
employed to detect incipient fires and
prevent their spread. That their serv-
ice has apparently been failure it is
said cannot justly be attributed to de-
fects in the system. The German gov
eminent, which has been conspicuously
successful in forest preservation and
cultivation, maintains kind of forest
gendarmerie, semi-military organiza-
ton, uniformed and armed. and under
the strictest discipline. This force is
charged with the duty of executing
both the forest and the game laws. It's
officers must have had thorough in
struction in forestry, as well as training
in the command of men, and those un-
der them are familiar with the regions
which they are required to patrol.
1t may be difficult to engraft such a
body of forest wardens upon our sys.
tenn, but until we can employ for this
duty trained and responsible men, un.
der strict and intelligent control, the
large sum which the government now
rays annually for forest rangers will
be to a degree wasted.
