Chicago H., Nov. 4.-The Illinois flag

ture and has led to numerous arrests.
was today declared unconstitutional by
Judge Gibbons in the circuit court, in a
lengthy opinion deciding the habeas cor
pus Proceedings brought by J. J. Harti-
gan. proprietor of the Glasgow Wooden
mills. Judge Gibbons declares that the
informer's fee clause in the flag act is
against the spirit Of American law as
tending to provoke strife and ill-will be-
tween man and man. The decision turns
on this point, the court holding that the
power granted by the constitution to the
governor of the state to pardon offenders
and remit fines and penalties is in conflict
with the statute which guarantees to the
s2former q share of the fine

NURSING THE TREES.
How Swiss Forests Are Preserved by
Scientific Methods.


An expert on forestry, after showing
the necessity for more stringent legisla-
ton to check the ruthless destruction OF
American forests, the dire effects Of
which extend to future generations, men
tons by way OF illustration what may
be done by properly paying attention to,
the preservation of the young growth
while cutting the mature crop, a forest
in Switzerland where scientific methods
have been observed in the cutting of the
wood. This forest has yielded a yearly
crop, without replanting, ever since be-
fore the discovery Of America, and yet
today it shows a fine growth of market
able lumber. Of all the foes of the for
est, next to the reckless lumberman, fire
is the most destructive. One of the lat
est ideas for the prevention Of fires FROM
locomotive sparks is to have two cleared
spaces along the line of the railroad, ser
arated by a double row of trees intended
to catch the sparks. Such strips, kept
free from all inhamma BILE material, would
be useful in checking small fires, and Of
immense value as lines of defense in
fighting large ones.

Preparing Walls for Papering.

The following rules are for the scrap
ing and treatment of walls of various
kinds preparatory to papering
If walls have been previously papered
it is advisable to scrape off old payer
not only from a sanitary standpoint but
also to insure perfect Job. Paper~
hangers cannot be too vigorous iii ad-
yising customers to have walls and cell
lngs scraped previous to repapering
To remove ordinary wallpaper soak
the paper by applying hot water with an
old brush. and then scraping with hand
or pole scraper.
Heavy papers, such as feathers and
felts, should be treated to a coat of hot
paste, thinned down to the consistency
Of cream. After few minutes soaking
remove by scraping.
Whitewashed walls should be scraped
after thoroughly wetting the walls with
thin paste or water, then size with strong
sizing. II Whitewash is not thick or
scaly, a strong solution Of vinegar will
answer all purposes.
For damp walls we advise either one.
TWO or three coats of Shellac over the
damp surface, or tinfoil, which is put up
IN sheets, can be tackled and pasted over
the damp spots.
For vanished paper, mix about two
pounds of common brown sugar or mo-
iasseS to One-half bucket of water, then
apply like sizing. This mixture is also
good foF Oil-painted walls. Scraping,
however. is preferred to either.
For oil-painted walls, dissolve two
pounds of pearl ash in a bucket of water
and apply like sizing.
For kalsomined wallis, wash walls and
ceilings with a large sponge, then apply
ordinary sizing. New walls should have
a coat of weak sizing.-Philadelph Rec
