A Steamer Fer Eoneymoons.

Now that ST. Joseph, Mich, is to
be the haven of runaway couples
from Chicago, the Graham n Morton
Steamship Company, Of that city,are
promising even greater things that
at first proposed. They are having
the steamer Splicer built, and will
make trips from Chicago to StJoseph
every day. BY an arrap cement with
County Clerk Needham, Of st. Joseph,
one of his assistants will meet the
incoming Splicer and will provide
expectant bridegrooms with permits
to wed long before the boat has made
fast to her dock. Those who obtain
licenses in this way leave the ship by
covered gangway, and will find
waiting for them closed carriages,
drawn by fast horses which will
transport them to the county clerk s
office. Ministers Of all denominations
will be in waiting. General Passen

Alger Ignored.

The action of President Mckinley
last week in ignoring Secretary of
War Alger when in consultation with
Governor Roosevelt, of New York,
regarding the selection Of the twen-
ty.fye commissioned officers who are
to be appointed from New York, is
the subject of much comment. Later
in discussing the next campaign,
when other members of the cabinet
were present, Secretary Alger was
not invited. The War Department
presents the curious spectacle of
great military establishment in which
neither the Secretary nor the Major
General commanding the army are
consulted regarding a single order
that goes out over their names. Sec.
retsry Alger may persist in his de-
termination not to resign, but it is
generally conceded that President
Mckinley Saturday night in ignoring
him gave him an unmistakable hint
that bis presence is no longer regard
ed as essential.

GOOD ADVICE

Oh, cal not this vale Of tears.
A world Of gloom and sorrow;
One.h the grief that Ger US comes
From self we often borrow.
The earth is beautiful and good.
How VIII man mistake it:
The folly is within ourselves
The world is what we make it,
Did we bat strive 70 make he best
OF troubles that befall US,
Instead Of meeting cares halfway,
They would not so appall US.
Earth has a spell for loving hearts
Why should we seek 10 break it,
Let's scatter flowers instead Of thorns-
The world is what we make it,
If truth and love and gentle words
We took the pains to nourish,
The seeds Of discomfort would die
And peace and concord flourish.
On, has not each some kindly thought
Then let's at once awake il
Believing that for good or ILL.,
The world is what we make it.

The Destruction Of Spruce.

Ia 1870, says the New York World,
according to George 7. Crawford, a
forestry expert, there stood in the
mountain districts of New Hampshire
about 100000 acres of primeval
spruce forest, carrying about 10, ,00O
feet, board measure, to the acre, or
10000, 900. 900 feet in all. 1he de-
mand for spruce for paper pulp, added
to the amount required for lumb Der,
has reduced this area to 100000
acres The consumption of spruce
for pulp is increasing at the rate Of
Is per cent. year. The mills OF
New York and New England make
100000 tons of paper pulp each year,
requiring more than 700, ,000,0 900
square feet, board measure, and
stripping 100000 acres of forest land
This rapid destruction Of the avail
able supply of spruce has impressed
upon mill owners the necessity OF
taking vigorous measures to secure
Few growth. The wasteful and
wicked policy has prevailed OF cut
ting the forest cleaD, not leaving
even a sapliDg standing "a pew sys

will save for reproducing the for ST
ali trees of fourteen inches and less.
Unless something is done to prevent
the destruction the supply OF spruce
will soon be exhausted.

Mrs. jefferson DAVIS.
Mobile Register ,

The Jackson Clarion Ledger produces
the following editorial squib. Mrs.
Jefferson Davis is to take up her per
manent residence near Montpelier, Vt.
No reason for her selection Of that
point has been given out Coming
from the leading paper printed at the
capital Of the State OF Mississippi, the
paragraph indirectly shows cool in
difference as to the widow Of Mr. JEFF
ferson Davis that is surprising 1t does
not even contain the simplest expression
of interest or regret that in the move
ments Of this distinguished woman, and
one who, at the time when she most
needed money, was robbed Of what she
had earned. Perhaps, il the Jackson
paper will jog its memory twill bring
TO recollection series OF unwarranted
attacks in certain Mississippi papers
upon Mrs Davis and upon the "Daugh
ter OF the OOnfederacy" because they
found it to their financial advantage to
live in New York, instead OF taking up
their residence at Beauvoir, to become,
perhaps, objects Of charity. 1t may be
this feeling has something to do with
il L is safe to say il Mrs. Davis has
decided TO take up her permanent resi-
dence near Montpelier, Vt. it is be.
cause she has found that it will be to
her personal comfort to live there.
Those who loved Jefferson Davis and
his daughter will entertain feeling Of
regret that his widow is not 80 situated
that she can pass the remainder Of her
days in the State which has done so
much TO honor her distinguished hus-
band 1t is to be regretted that it is
left to the leading paper Of his State 8
capital to express no interest whatever
in the matter.

Waiting is Prohibited.
From the Boston Traveller.

In the court of Berlin, as well as
at most of the courts Of the
minor rulers in Germany the
waltz is prohibited. The polka
and a slow sort Of galop are the only
round dances tolerated, the waltz hav-
ing been forbidden ever since one of
the young royal princesses was tripped
up by her partner and fell at the very
feet of the late Empress Augusta while
in the act Of waltzing. The Empress
who was terrible despot on the score
of etiquette, could not bear the idea Of
a dance which could have the effect Of
placing a princess Of the blood in such
an undignified position, and therefore
at once vetoed the waltz from appsr-
ing on the programmes of court balls.
The ban against the waltz has only re-
Gently been removed, so far as the
court Of WuItemberg is concerned.
This is due to the influence OF the
young Queen, woman Of great
beauty. who.is passionately fond Of dane
