AMERICAN LUMBER SUPPLY.
The Planting of Forests Likely to Be an
Important Industry.

The Planting of Forests Likely to Be an
Important Industry. /
Looking not very far into the future,
it seems that the planting Of American
forests will become a productive indus
try. Preservation Of old forests, with
their masses of dry underbrush and fire
inviting collections Of dry leaves, may
be advisable for some reasons. These
Immense masses Of firewood undoubted-
~ tend to collect snow, which, by its
gradual melting, furnishes supply to
the water reservoirs beneath the surface
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 timber interests
In old forests, where there is strug-
gle for life among the trees by reason
Of their growing SO thickly together,
the result is the necessity of waiting
many years before the trees will reach
a size to make them desirable for tim
Der purposes. Where trees have room to
grow and are properly cared for most
kinds of American trees will furnish
useful timber in 20 or 80 years, and for
many other purposes they can be en-
ployed even younger. It takes we'll on
to century for the struggling trees in
a dense wood to have any marketable
value.
While good timber is becoming grad
ually scarcer on account Of our annual
forest fires, rising from the conditions
already stated, the demand is increasing,
and, what is more remarkable, Europe
is already calling on America for sup
ply Of lumber. American oak especially
is in great demand in the old world,
while our black walnut is closely fol-
lowing in it's wake. Our lighter woods
Rlso-such as the tulip tree and poplar
are coming into great demand there
for packing boxes and cases where light
weight is great object. Those who are
interested in forestry in our country
should take up the matter of encourage
ment of forest planting. It will soon be
greater question than forest preserva-
tion. Monthly.

Culture of Vines.

An all important matter in growing
vines is to see that they are constantly
supplied with sufficient water. Planted
as they usually are, in situation where
they are exposed to the sun a major
portion OF the day, the soil dries out
very rapidly, and plenty of water
should be given when necessary. In the
event Of red spiders attacking, the foil

the pests. To induce a lows bushy
growth in ANNALS, cut the tipsaof the
runners. Hardy vines, such as wistari-
as, honeysuckles, etc., when notsgrow-
ing too rapidly, can be trimmedawithI
little or no injury. -Woman's Home

MEMORIES.

Once more, once more, my Mary, dear,
sit by that lone stream
Where first within thy tinid ear
breathed loves burning dream.
The birds we loved stiu tell their tale
OF music on each spray,
And still the wild rose decks the vale,
But thou art far away.
In vain thy vanished form seek
By wood and stream and dell,
And tears of anguish battle my cheek
Where tears of rapture fell,
And yet beneath these wildwood bowers
Dear thoughts my soul employ,
For in the memories of past hours
There is a mournful Joy.
Upon the air thy gentle words
Around me seem to thrill,
Like sounds upon the wind harp's chords
When all the winds are still,
Or like the low and soullike swell
OF that wild spirit tone ],
Which haunts the hollow of the bell
When its sad chime is done.
seem to hear thee speak my name
In sweet, low murmurs now.
seem to feel thy breath of fame
Upon my cheek and brow.
On my cold lips feel thy kiss
Thy heart to mine is laid
Alas that such a dream of bliss
Like other dreams must fade!

Old Aunt Dinah was a colored wom-

would sing and cry glory with such
vigor as to be heard above all the rest
Of the congregation, but she was of an

was the custom at the missionary meet
ings which she attended to take up the
collection during the singing Of the
hymn ely abroad, thou mighty gos-

nah always threw back her head, closed
her eyes and sang away at the top OF
her lungs until the plate had been pass

Of plain speech, observed this habit, and
one evening when he came to her seat
he surveyed her rapt countenance and

THE COTTON GIN,

How a Woman Helped Whitney to Per
feet His Great Invention.
'Recollections of Washington and
His Friends is contributed to The Gen.
fury by Martha Littlefeld Phillips.
They were taken down from the lips of
the authors grandmother, who was the
youngest daughter of General Nathan
ael Greene The following is one of the
stories:
During my life at Dungeness cir
cumstance occurred there of some his
toric and scientific interest and in re-
gard to which much erroneous state
ment has been made. I refer to the in
vention of the cotton gin by Eli Whit
ney and my mothers connection with
it. The facts briefly stated, were about
as follows: While spending the previ-
GUS summer at Newport, R. l., my
mother became acquainted with Mr..
Whitney and grew much interested in
the outcome Of the experiments he was
then making in the interest of his pro-
jected gin. To assist in his enterprise,
my mother invited him to spend the
following winter at Dungeness, where
an abundance of cotton and quiet could
be assured. Mr.. Whitney accordingly
came to Dungeness, and diligently pur-
sued his experiments, room in the
fifth story having been specially fitted
for his use as an inventor. One morn
ing he descended headlong into the
drawing room, where a number of
guests were assembled and excitedly
exclaimed, The victory is minen In
deep sympathy with him the guests
and hostess went with him to his work.
shop. Whitney set his model in motion.
For few moments the miniature saws
revolved without hindrance and the
separation of the seed from the cotton
wool was successfully accomplish, but
after q little the saws clogged with lint,
the wheel stopped, and poor Whitney
was in despair.
Here's what you need,' exclaimed
my mother in her clear, decisive way,
and she instantly seized clothesbrush
lying on the mantel and held it firmly
to the teeth Of the saws. Again the
drum revolved, and instantly the saws
were cleaned of the lint, and the last
requirement of the great invention was
satisfied.
" Madam, said Whitney, overcome
with emotion and speaking with the
exaggeration Of gratitude, you have
perfected my invention!''

DURATION OF HUMAN LIFE.

A Man Might Possibly Live to BE One
Hundred and Twenty-Five Years Old.
In the average statistics of hannah life
it has been found that women Ave lon
ger than men. The reason Tor that an.
pears to be simple. -
Up to the age Of 20 to IS the man is
undoubtedly younger and less develop
ed than the woman, but in the next 20
or. 80 years Of his life the man ages
much more rapidly, because apart from
the strain and hardship of profession,
the exposure to unhealthful climates,
the disappointments of fortune, he Of
ten leads a life Of dissipation and ex-
cess which early puts it's stamp upon
his forehead and turns his hair gray be-
fore it's time. The woman, on the other
hand, who has often more than her
share Of anxieties, has, apart from the
many accidents of life, but one serious
and inevitable danger, that of the per-
petuation of her race, which, safely
passed, renovates rather than ages and
increases woman's chance of longey-
ity.
From the few facts that have ven
tured to put together we may deduce,
think, the following conclusions, which,
I trust, may be found of some interest
by those who desire to have general
view of the expectation Of life, it's real
duration and the possible causes of it's
length and brevity.
First. according to the best
authorities Of the last century, the ex-
IRENE limit Of life might be 1876 years
under extraordinary and almost abnor-
NAL circumstances.
Second.-That the anticipation of life
is roughly five times the time that the
organs Of the body-not counting the
brain, which develops later-require to
attain their full and absolute maturity.
This, of course, varies not only in races,
but in individuals, some developing
early and some much later, even in the
same climate and in the same family.
Third.-That rarely, if ever, is that
full duration achieved, owing to dis
ease, food, heredity, bad habits, wear
and tear and many other causes which
shorten life.
Fourth. The slower the development
the longer may be the duration of life.
Fifth.-That all human beings are
not born with the capacity for long life
even under the most favorable circum-
stances. AS the organism of the human
being is more complex than that of the
lower animals, so his anticipation of
life is far more variable.
Sixth. - That those circumstances
which conduce to longevity are un.
doubtedly late development, frugal hab-
It's, moderation, exemption from vicissi-
tudes of climate and extreme of heat or
cold, from mental worry and agitation,
temperature in eating and drinking,
with fair amount of brain work when
the brain is ready to undertake it.
We have all heard the we'll worn Ak
ION attributed to the Psalmist that the
"days of man are threescore and ten, -
but in Genesis vi, 8, will be found the
following passage, "Yet his days shall
be an hundred and twenty years. -
This passage seems to have been over
looked, as have rarely seen it quoted,
although curiously enough it exactly
corresponds to the theory that man
should attain five times the period of
reaching his maturity.

ANCIENTPOLlTlCAL "RlNGS."
Olden Time Schemes For Obtaining Wealth
and Power.

Olden Time Schemes For Obtaining Wealth
and Power.
The evil of monopolies and rings was
known to ancients, Aristotle referring
to them in his ''Politics,' and then, as
now, it was found necessary to hold
them in check by legislation. The mo-
nopolist was in Roman law called q
dardanarius and punished under the
Lex Julia de Ammonia. Monopolies of
clothing, fish and all articles of food
were prohibited by the Emperor Zeno
under pain of confscation and exile, so
that it is certain that the "rings'' of
the ancient days were as 'mischievous as
they are now. At Athens law linn
tied the amount Of a corn man nigh
buy. The earliest recorded instance we
have was corn ''ring''
There is an ancient tradition that the
king who made Joseph his prime min
lister and committed into his hands the
entire administration Of Egypt was
Apepi. Apepi was one Of the shep-
herd kings and ruled over the whole o.
Egypt as Joseph's pharaoh seems to
have done. The prime minister during
seven years of remarkable plenty bought
up every bushel of corn beyond the alb
solute needs of the Egyptians and stored
it. During the terrible famine that fol-
lowed he was able to get his own price
and bartered corn successfully for the
Egyptian money, cattle and land, and,
taking one-ffth for pharaoh, made him
supremely wealthy. 1t was not merely
a provident act, but a very polite one,
his policy being to centralize power in
the monarch's hands. London An
