Maj. Berante," said the general-in-
chief, quietly, II should be pleased to
listen to your testimony.
The gentiemanly-like manner Of Col.
Archard and the unpretentious bearing
Of the commanding general were in
marked contrast with the loftiness of
Maj, Berante, as he told with conscious
pride how he had entered the union
lines at Knoxville, taking Harold Beach
with him, had made the map Of the de-
lenses, laying down the location and
strength of the troops, the position Of
batteries, the kind and condition of
armament; how, having been suspect
ed, he had given the map to Harold, and
by assurance and tact had made his
way back to confederate ground. He
further testified to Margaret's story
that she had sought him to beg that he
would interfere to extricate them from
their perilous situation, loftily aver
ring that he had been deferred from
giving himself up as the real culprit
only by the important work of heading
off Gen. Heath.
There was look of relief and deep
interest on the face of the general-in-
chief. Margaret's truthfulness and the
noble work she had done in shielding
her brother had been established be-
You'd question.
"And now" Berante went on, "having
given my testimony in the case of this
innocent woman, it gives me great sat

you have among you one who is stepped

The general-in-chief directed Berante
to consider the letter. Berante stood
slowly unfolding it, his glittering eyes
fixed on Gen. Heath with an expression
of malignant satisfaction.

Preserving the Forests,

However the Fifty-sixth congress
may be disposed to regard the question
OF setting aside for national park
1000. 900 acres of land in the Leach
Lake Indian reservation in Minnesota
it is probable that the discussion of the
matter will eventually result in federal
legislation affecting not only the forests
OF Minnesota, but those throughout the
country. The necessity of state or fed
eral control Of timber lands is becoming
more generally recognized as the results
Of indiscriminate cutting of timber be-
come more apparent.
Cultivation of agricultural lands may
be safely left to the individual Owners
as knowledge of the principles of agri-
culture is generally difused, and their
violation can affect only the tracts i'm
mediately involved. Forestry as sci
ence, however, is little known and in
the United States rarely applied to the
extent its Importance demands.
1t is proposed by the National Park
association to allow the cutting of tim :
Der on the Minnesota forest reserve.
but with proper and scientific restric-
lions and under the supervision of
government officials That this system
might be advantageously applied to all
forest lands, instead of permitting their
unconditional sale, seems evident when
the successful operation of the forest
laws of continental Europe is consid-
cred. France derives revenue of So. So
annually for each acre of its state for
ests; the little duchy of Baden has an
annual net income of $667, 900 from its
$40, 900 acres of public forest; the Black
forest in Wurttemberg is made to yield
So. SO an acre; the forests of Sweden,
Switzerland and other countries will
compare favorably with these, and in
every case the forest is preserved as in
violable capital, planting following cut
ting, and only those trees that are fit
for the ak being taken. Slashings are
removed and utilized, roads are built
by the foresters for the transportation
of forest produce, telegraph wires pene-
trate the woodland to convey any alarm
of fire, the forest officers are required to
pass examinations in schools of forestry
and to have practiced forestry on a
range for stated periods.
The proposition thus suggested by
the National Park association is deserv-
ing of the consideration Of congress, as
the preservation of our forests is one of
the most important matters that can
receive its attention
