AME RjCAN LUMBER SUPPLY.
The Planting of Forests Likely to BE an

The Planting of Forests Likely to Be an
Important Industry.
Locking not very far into the future,
1t see'as 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 a supply &c
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,
run TO supply floods and freshets tnan
when the SLOW IS made to pass away
gradually. But this question does not
affect the solid timber interests,
In old forests, whore there Is a struc.
gle for life amous the trees bv reason

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 nave room TO
grow and are properly cared for most
kinds of American trees will furnish
useful timber in 90 or so years, and for
many other purposes they can be en-
ployed even younger. 1t takes we'll on

u dense wood to have any marketable
value.
While good timber is becoming grad

and. what is more remarkable. Europe
IS already calling on America for a sup
ply of lumber. American oak especially
is in great demand in the old world,
while our black walnut is closely fol-
lowing in its wake. Our lighter woods
also-such as the tulip tree and poplar
are coming into great demand there

DUTIES OF CHRISTIAN LIFE.
No Virtue In Ones Daily Actions Unless
1t Is Established In the soul.

"The obligations and duties Of the
Christian life are not all eAternal.n
writes Cardinal Gibbons, pointing out a
Iellgl0us lie to young { in The La
dies Home journal. They are mainly
material and must proceed from he
heart. There Is no virtue in ones daily
actions unless 1t be first established in
the soul and Is only an external express
sion OF the soul convictions CT prolon-
cation Of heartfelt sentiments. Yet the
external practice Of Christian virtues
and the performance Of Christian duties
certain to the integrity, if not to the es-
aentlal character, Of the Christian life.
Inc interior sentiments soon perish
without external expression, as life and
bodily powers become extinct without
cue and proper exercise or employment.
However, as the external duties are
not absolutely and under all circum-
stances essential, they vary both in
number and frequency according to en-
vlronmente and opportunities. A bust
ness man cannot do all hat q clergy
H9an Is expected to do, a man in trade
not what a man in leisure can accom-.
pllsh nor a man Of the world all that is
possible and easy to Il who keeps him
self from society. But all, no matter
where, no matter what their engage
ments and secular pursuits, how little
or how much time they can call their
own, can and are obliged to perform
daily acts OF prayer and religion and
accomplish many duties of virtue and
charity. There is no condition Of life
WINCH is incompatible with the dictates
and principles and precerts of the
Christian life

ANCIENT POLITICAL RINGS

The evil Of monCpolies and rings was
known 70 ancients. Aristotle referring
10 them III his "Politics," and then. as
now. 1t was found necessary to hold
them in check by legislation. The mo-
nOpolist was IN Roman law called a
~dardanarlus and punished under the
Lex Julia de Ammonia, Monopolies of
clothing, fish and all articles of food
We're prohibited by the Emperor Zeno
under pain Of contiscation and exile, so
that 1t Is certain that the rings OF
the ancient days We're as misChlevouS as
they are now. At Athens a law linn
tied the amount Of a corn a man might
buy. The earliest recorded instance we
nave was d corn ring
There is al ancient tradition that the
king who made Joseph his prime min
lster 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 Of
Egypt as Joseph's pharaoh seems to
nave done. The prime minister during
seven years Ct remarkable plenty bought
up very bushel OF corn beyond She alb
solute needs OF the Egyptians and stored
It. During the terrible famine that fol

Il battered corn successfully for the

a Mexican Custom on Good Friday.

Mrs. Sara Y. Stevenson contributes TO
The Century an article on "Maximil-
lan's EMPIRE" one Of a series devoted
to the French intervention in Mexico.
In describing the scenes that followed
the siege Of Puebla Mrs. Stevenson SAYS:
1t was a Mexican custom on Good
Friday to burn Judas in effigy On the
Plaza Mayor. Judas was a manikin
made in the shape Of the person who
happened to be most unpopular at the
time. 1t was quite admissible to burn
Judas under different shapes, and some.
times these summary autos-da-fe were
multiplied to suit the occasion and the
temper Of the people. At the same time
rattles were sold on the streets and uni.
v~ersally bought alike by children and
adults, by rich and poor, to grind the
bones Of Judas, and the Objectionable
