] FORESTS OF Canada. !
APPARENTLY INEXHAUST1BLE }
SUPPLY OF SPRUCE
FOR PULP.

The award of the grand prize to Can
ada for her forestry exhibit at the Par
is exposition was not unexpected, says
an Ottawa correspondent of the New
York SUM- The exhibit is collective
one from the whole Dominion, and It
occupies little more than 1000 square
feet of space. 1t is made up OF very
complete representation of the Cana
dian woods, with the principal articles
exported from Canada in a Semimanu-
featured form. OF the 121 species OF
trees indigenous to Canada 26 are in
cluded in the exhibit, the remainder
being of small economic value or OF
rare occurrence. No other country Is
so rich in forests, and it is not sur
prising that the Canadian authorities
bent all their energies in making this
exhibit complete in order to demon
strate to the world this principal
source of Canada's wealth.
Much attention was given in the en-
deavor to impress the European paper
manufacturer with the Importance Of
the pulp forests and pulp industries Of
the Dominion. This line of enterprise
is so new as not only to be Of special
interest to such visitors at the French
capital. but it's vast possibilities for
this country are as yet just beginning
to be appreciated by Canadians. Care
fully prepared statistics and informa-
ton upon this subject have been col
lated and printed by the government
for distribution from the Canadian
section at the exposition.
The Dominion census of 1881 first
mentions pulp mills. but it was merely
bo of tho Canadian pr1ID and
fiber industry. There are now 35 i'm
portant pulp and fiber mills. some of
the latest established being on a gigan-
tic scale, the largest having a capacity
of $50 tons of pulp a day. The total
output of these mills is now about LOO
tons per day, and the capital invested
in the industry is between S15,OOO,OOO
and 500, 900. a considerable proper
ton of which is from the United States.
This development has been due to
specially favorable combination of cir
cumstances. Not only is Canadian pulp
spruce of exceptionally good quality
for paper manufacture. but the forests
are the largest in the world, compare
lively easy of access and possess album
dant water power. The supply in Can
ada is virtually unlimited, and the

most conterminus with the geographic
al boundaries Of the Dominion. From
the Labrador peninsula on the east and
along the northern shores of the St
Lawrence the spruce grows abundant
ly and extends over that great triangle
between Hudson bay and the Atlantic.
Ontario has an abundance Of pulp
spruce. and it stretches northward al

flows into the Arctic ocean. On the
Pacific coast, along the mountainous
bays of British Columbia, the spruce is
found more abundantly as exploration
is pushed forward. The Douglas FIR,

Betrayal of Obligation.

The American people will not make the
murderers of our soldiers the agents of
the republic to convey the blessings of
liberty and order to the Philippines.
They will not make them the builders OF
the new commonwealth. Such n course
would be betrayal OF our sacred obliga-
lions to the peaceful Filipinos and woulI
place Mt the mercy OF dangerous adven-

tives and foreigners. 1t would make pos
sible and easy the commission of such
atrocities as were secretly planned to be
executed on the 22d of February, 1899,
in the city of Manila. when only the Wig

proposition of those opposed to us is to

WHERE HONESTY EXISTS.
Nc Burglar Air~ms Are Requires
IN the small Fswns %
Connecticut.

"People in the small towns up in Con-
necticut." saida travelling man, appear
to be much more honest than they are
in New York. Not one family in ten
thinks OF such thing as burglar
alarms, and half Of them do not even
lock their outer doors when they re-
tire. But what impresses me most are
the street laundry boxes.
''Nearly every town of 5000 or more
inhabitants has several places where
laundry packages are received and de-
livered. These places are generally dry
goods or notion stores, or haberdash-
cries. Suburban merchants as rule
do not keep their stores open much
later than eight o'clock in the evening,
and do not open them until seven or
half-past seven in the morning.
"This does not suit all their patrons,
so il is no infrequent sight 10 see out
side the store large red box with u
fair-sized opening in the top. The box
bears the legend: If the store is closed,
put your laundry in here Now just
imagine New York laundry office
using receptacle like that. Why, five
minutes after package was deposited
in the box II would be fished out and
in an hour its contents would be in
the possession of some dealer in second
hand clothing. But up in Connecticut
the scheme seems TO work very we'll
and all ! can say is that II is tribute
TO the general honesty of the com

when II will be easier for him to deprive
himself OF certain pet luSuries, learns

one spendthrift among them has retired

Possibly you may look upon that
word "spendthrift" as one that cannot
be applied to you. You may think II
applies only to one who foolIshly
throws away fortune. If you will
turn to your dictionary you will read
that he is spendthrift who is i'm
provident or wasteful. The word ap-
plies with equal force to the man earn
ing ten dollars a week and to him who
has thousands.
There are no miracles in business

toiled early and late with all his powers
