Brunswick, Me-, a place OF about
1000 inhabitants, is probably the first
municipality in the United States to
undertake forest planting on a large
scale, or what is practically the old
world institution of town forest. The
town owns tract of about 1000 acres
Of what was once pine land, but long
since given over to fire and buckle
berries. At a recent meeting Of the
council 500 was appropriated to i'm
prove this land by planting 1t TO white
pine. Seed will be purchased and a
nursery established to raise the young
trees. At the right age they will be
transplanted in rows and set out in the
positions they will finally occupy and
will then require little more care ex-
eept protection from fire. The land at
present 1t absolutely unproductive. II

A Fine Memory.

W. Bourke Cochran, the Democratic
orator, is said to have a marvellous
memory. James d. Hughes relates in
the Philadelphia Record that several
years ago he sat in the third row In the
balcony of a hall in Cleveland. Ohio
when Mr.. Cochran delivered an address
there. Two years later he was pre-
sented to Mr.. Cochran. He said: ST
do not remember having met you. but
your face Is familiar TO me-" Mr..
Hughes replied that Mr.. Cochran had
never seen him before, but that he had
seen Mr.. Cochran in the West. "Ah.
yes" he cried, quickly, lat Cleveland
two years ago, you sat in the balcony"
Mr.. Cochran afterward explained that
the faces of his auditors are strongly
stamped upon his mind whenever he
speaks in public, and remain upon his
memory for years afterward.-Cleve-
land Plaia Dealer.

1t appears that the pie bakers of New
York are quite unable to keep up with
their orders. They can't find the neces-
sary expert help required and the de-

form of dessert is holding it's own
handsomely against the inroads Of the
trapped sweets and frothy nothings of

Princess Stephanie daughter of the
King of the Belgians, has written d
book on love. In it she tells her read
ers whom to love, when to love, how to
love and where to love. She discusses
the conditions that make for love, the
chances of various temperamentS and
characters for inspiring love, and in
order to reach as many would-be lovers
as possible the Princess, who has been
through a finishing school, writes some
of her rules in several languages. This
is interesting, but it is labor thrown
away. There Is no art of loving. 1t
cannot be learned from any book. If it
could, of course a young and pretty
princess would be an acceptable teach
er. But in that case we might improve
the situation by starting colleges to
train other teachers, and have young
people duly instructed ON how to love
successfully, according to rule and pre-
cept. The fact that the author of this
book has had a wide experience in
Cupid's court does not prove that she
is an apt teacher in anything beyond
the mere etiquette and outward forms
Of love-making. Although the story Of
love Is said to be threadworn, 1t is new
er told twice alike. No lover can ex-
pound its mysteries to another 1t Is
the one unique thing in creation.

subject themselves and the whole Department
to the inexpressibly grave suspicion of being
governed by partial and interested motives. If
the police failed to make any arrests they might
be deemed merely derelict In duty. But when
they arrest some misdemeanaDts and criminals
and let others go, there is only one OF two
conclusions to be drawn. and these are the
worst possible. Either the police are discr'mi-
mating for a purpose against those whom they
arrest, which in the circumstances is simply
persecution. or they are showing favor, for
purpose. to those whom they do not arrest,
which Is nothing less than compounding felony.
That Is the logical and inevitable conclusion
to be drawn from such incidents as that which
provoked Mr.. Cornells rebuke.
