How We Use Up Our Forests.

1t is estimated that it takes twenty
two acres of spruce land to furnish
enough wood pulp paper to run a large
metropolitan daily just two days. The
writer who makes this statement de-
plores the time when, at this rate, our
forests will entirely disappear, and
paper be very scarce and expensive.
Meantime, the art of printing eontin-
ues, because there are many truths the
world should know; among Others,
that Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is q
cure for diseases of the stomach, such
as dyspepsia, indigestion, constipation,
biliousness, insomnia and nervousness.
This famous medicine has been the
standard remedy of the American peo-
pie for fifty years. Do not accept a
substitute. The genuine has Private
Revenue Stamp over the neck of bottle.

Borrowing.

Make it rule neuer to do it. and
then do it only when positively oblioed
to! And in nine cases out of ten.
where one is awake to the wants of
the household, this evil can be effectu-
ally forestalled.
Borrowing is often carried to such
an extent that it becomesa nuisance
makes hard feelings, and even enemies,
among the best of friends. One pos
sessed of the borrowing mania can
hardly be expected to remember the
needles, pins, thread, cups of sugar,
eggs, flour, baking-powder, saleratus,
etc., sent for in so many cases of ''dire
extremity" The one who loans has,
of course, better memory, but is very
10th to 'speak of these trifies," but
which aggregate quite sum in the
end
The habit of borrowing small sums
of money from neighbor is especially
to be deprecated. recall two in
stances, and donbtless the reader could
duplicate them: Mrs. W borrowed
of Mrs. c., in sums of five and ten
cents for street-car fare and to make
change (by actual account), three dol
lars, not penny of which was ever
returned or alluded to by the receiver
Miss F., under ''great pressure" :"
obtained of an aged friend, who could
i'll afford the loss, small sums of money
until it amounted to five dollars. She
only wished it for few days." but
gears have passed, and the debt is not
cancelled. Even the most corrupt jury
would, we think, convict these two
persons of (polite) thieving rather
than neighborly borrowing.
AS we have admitted, borrowing is
sometimes allowable; but one should
be prompt and conscientious in return
ing even the smallest article.
1t is proverbial of some persons that
one must go after what is lent them
] know lady who annually makes the
tour of her neighborhood to find the
carpet-stretcher she lent the spring
before.
There are many things, such as quilt
ing frames, soap-kettle, bags and chairs
ETC., together with the tabled ''um-
brella," that may as well be bought,
with the expectation that they will
shortly become public property and
lost-at least to the original owner.
Let us strike against borrowing, and
boycott the borrowers!-Good House
keIing.

small But ReyengefuI Chicago Cit~
tEsn Does Not Wait for the
Powers to Act.

That nothing arouses youthful ar
dor so much as war has been demon
strated SO often that it has now be-
come an axiom. For this cause the in
habitants of the opponents of the
United States are the enemies de
faeto to the lads who tramp the
streets of Chicago. This has been
shown of late in their antagonism to
the Chinese because of atrocities
committed in and around Peking, says
the Chicago Chronicle.
They have made faces at the Celes-
tials, pulled their pigtails and thrown
stones through their windows. It re-
mained for a Clark street lad, how
ever to take summary vengeance on
a Chinaman against whom he held a
fancied grudge.
1e Kee is a rotund Chinaman, who
lives back of one of the stores that
line the east side of Clark. In the
afternoon he is in the habit of stretch
ing himself on the little 2x4 porch in
the rear Of his home for nap. The
other day he lay down without antic-
ipating any untoward incident that
might cause him to wish he was in
some other country.
Dreams of the fowery kingdom and
the delight of seeing his enemies suf-
Ter were infesting his brain when a
dull thud brought him to a sitting
posture. He saw boy running away
with hatchet in his hand. He
grabbed for his queue Immediately
and found it lying nefr where his head
had rested while he was sleeping. The
mischievous lad had clipped the be-
loved pigtail very near to ifs hasa

The funniest mixup we have read of
lately occurred in Conowago, Pa. A
farmer kicked up a bumblebee's nest,
and was attacked by the insects. He
yelled to his hired man for help The
hired man, seeing bee prodding the
farmers face, hit at it so hard in his
excitement that he knocked the farmer
down and into the nest. The farmer
arose in a fury and went for the hired
man. They fought furiously, and the
bees prodded both. Each swore out a
warrant for the other, alleging assault
and battery. With blackened eyes,
swollen noses and bodies bulging with
beestings, they appeared before the
justice, who was so much amused that
he snorted out, and both men arose to
lick him, but were calmed by the con-
stables.

A ROUND OF GAYETIES,

Your correspondent has previously
mentioned the popularity of B. C.
Norris summer hotel at Lake.
side, but last week there proved
the greatest in hilarity on record.
Among the gentlemen of the house, the
two brightest lights seemed to be M.
Spellmeyer and Fred w. Nichols of Jer-
sey City, N. j.; and what they could
and did not originate with the aid of %
of the fair sex, guests at the same hotel,
ia unworthy of mention. On Monday at
3 q. M, coaches we're at the door and q
most jolly party rode to New Milford,
taking breakfast there at the New
England house, calling at an early hour
on Mr. and Mrs G.. M. Beach and with
proper exercises dedicating the new piaz.
"a of their home to pleasure and comfort.
On Tuesday evening by this same party
of fun and jollity, full dress hop was
enjoyed in Mr. Norris parlors at Lake
side. On Thursday evening progress
i've euchre party occupied their minds
till midnight. On Friday evening a
watermelon party and frolic on the Nor
ris lawn could be heard till long after the
moon went down. On Saturday morning
from grand stand erected for the occa-
sion, the boat races on Lake Waramaug
were plainly seen and witnessed by Mr.
Norris guests and many of their friends,
but the week of entertainments closed
there on Saturday evening with a mas
querade ball, to which upwards of $50
were invited, most of whom attended,
and the fun and satisfaction connected
Herewith cannot be described. iCos-
tunes of all hues and styles were adopt.
ed and in most instances we'll carried out
by the participants. The very best en-.
tertainment seemed to be kept for the
last, and we are promised, this week, at
it's close, program Of exercises and en-
tertainments which will far excel
those already mentioned. Your
correspondent regrets to state that
Messrs Spellmeyer and Nichols were
obliged to return, this week, to their
city duties, but others have taken their
rooms. Mr. McGirr returned last Friday
from New York to join his wife there for
another weeks recreation, and life goes
