Signal. Il Is not unnatural to notice the
d.sineiinAtion -vineed On the part Of
many pastors to deliver scrmons on
the subject, and to ask Why 10 few arr
preached. II one should visit any Of
our large cities. and worship In a dif-
scrcnt church twice every Sunday for
one year. he would be amsIed to dis
cover not only that Temperance dis
courses are rare. but that many SER
mons would contain no hint OF the al
most omnipotent vice. II Is not to be
expected that n pastor shall preach on
this subject every Sunday. or that he
shall aiiude To Il In every sermon. but
that Il shall be presented frequently
enough to keep the people awake to q
sense OF their duty. One city pastor
made Il habit to touch upon this evil
In every discourse or address that he
delivered. While his congregation were
In hearty sympathy with temperance
work. they became weary Of the con-
stant ailusion he made TO II. II Is =
wise minister who can preach upon
this topic as opportunity secms to sus-
gest. and allude to Il Us circumstances
require. without creating a chill Of in
difference. It ia the work Of the
preacher to SO present the subject that
the vice will appear In Its true light.
and Christians be melted to nght
against Its legalixation. But the aim
of this article Is to give few reasons
why more temperance sermons are not
delivered. 1. There are no doubt,
men in the ministry who have only n
disproportionate conception of the
magnitude Of the drink evil. 2. There
are congregations In which are MEM
bcfs 80 closely allied to the liquor
traffic that anything more than the
mere mention OF this vice would cre-
ate trouble in the church and make
tire pastors resignation very desirable
This is a most unfortunate position
for q pastor. No doubt more than one
has been placed in 1t. II ought not to
be u..,icult for a minister to know
what to do. It is the result that the
pastor fears. The command Of Paul is
to declare the whole council of God.
Preach the Word. 10 the Injunction. Il
Is evident that no one can obey these
commands and not refer to the use OF
intoxicants. 3. There are. pastors
who maintain that the only way to
overcome this evil is to include 1t in
the catalogue Of vices which are to be
corrected by conversion to God. This
Is a noble conception. oh, that It
might be realized! 4. I do not say It
10 true, but the question arises: are
tnere not some men in the sacred ONCE
who would not hesitate to take a social
glass? II there are, then We have
discovered another reason why some
pastors avoid this subject. II would be
hypocrisy to preach against the use OF
liquor and use It at home.

In connection with the investiga-
tions Of commercial trees by the Divis-
ion OF Forestry n set OF tables has
been prepared for the Adirondack
hardwoods. by which various nnan-
cial calculations can be made accu-
rately and easily II the approximate
number of trees on given area and
average diameter are known. The most
important tables show: The value Of
mature trees at different stumpage
rates; value OF immature trees Of all
ages at different stumpage rates; in
terest represented by annual growth
trees; and interest represented by an
nual growth in board feet on capital
represented by land. From these ta-
bles the timber owner can find the
exact financial gain in waiting for his
timber to grow to any given diameter.
the interest his forest is earning OH
its cost. and similar valuable informa-
tion. The tables are now complete
for the so-called Adirondack hard
woods, including yellow birch, sugar

The skau Gull the Eagles Foe.

The natives of Foaia one Of the shet- iand islands, make q business of rear ing skau gulls in order to rid the island of the eagles that commit 50 many depredations The magnificent red sandstone cliffs that skirt the north, western coast became . fayorite haunt of the eagles. and in this inaccessible spot they increased 70 rapidly that they became a terror to the farmers And fishermen who dwell on this iso- lated spot. Tie skau gulls are also strong and fierce, and the iaYeterate foe ef the eagle. In battle the gulIs are nearly always victorious, and so the Inhabitants of Foula hit upon the novel plan of feeding and caring for skau gulls. which, though formidable to their feathered enemies, are very peacgaal and deeile when brought in contact with man.

So hungry was T. poor brute that when dangling in the air it tried to bite at the tufts of grass on the face of the cliff II must have died of starvation in a very few days more, as every bit of her5ase within reach was nibbled to the earth Some idea Of the risk this reseuer ran may be gathered from the fact that this particular spot has always been considered inaccessible. and that < took tile gentleman fully TWO hours to make the ascent The lake Indet the cliff is forty fathoms dea2

 in That State.

in That State.
 Norway (Maine) Correspondence Of the New York Times: Since the paper makers commenced to build big suI- phite mills in the Maine woods the price of spruce timber lands has doubled, and in some cases trebled. Next to spruce, the timber in greatest demand is clean and thrifty white blrcb, which is sawed into bars and sent by the shipload to Scotland to be used for thread spools. NeaT1y all the factories ill the United States, and more than half of those in Great Brit ain, obtain their spool stock from Maine. According to A. 4. Burleigh of Houlton, Maine, who has spent the best part of his life in the woods as a lumber operator, Maine's birch trees are due to the spiteful conduct of two employees of the Maine land office. Some French Canadians in 1920 squat ted on state land near the Penobscot river and defied all efforts to eject them. Finally, in 1925, two special eonstables were sent to the place from the land office in Augusta, with in- structions to make clean job of evict- ing the F'renehmen. The constables, after turning the families out, set fire to the houses and =haystaeks. Twelve hours later the French village was a smoking mass of ashes, and the big gest forest fire ever known in the state was sweeping north, burning off more than fifty townships of ol6-gFeWth pine and doing more than $10,000, ,000 damage to the state lands. Many square miles of Eackmatack timber were also burned over, the fire eating ten feet into the black peat logs that had been accommodating for years and years It is tradition that, after crossing AFoosteok county, the fire ieaped the St. John river and swept over New Brunswick terminating In the destruction Of 3Iifamichi, where l20 persons perished. The survivors were forced ito flee into the Gulf Of St. Lawrence, where they stood neck deep in the water for two days and a night, while deer. caribou, moose. bears and wolves swan around them, seeming to seek protection from their enemies. After the fire had burned itself out and the land had absorbed the alkali of the ashes, about 5,000,0 acres came up to wild cherry and white birch saplings. For more than ten years the two species struggled for control of the territory. Then the black knot, which had been imported from Europe killed off the wild cherry trees, giving the birches the right of way. About 5o.000,0o0 board feet of spool bars are now shipped out of Maine every year and the supply Is still large.
