Desertions .rom the Army May BE Pre-
vented by Judicions Action.
Gen. Davis in his annual report for
the Department of Porto Rico reverts
to the question Of desertion from the
army. He recommends, as the result
of his observation and experience, that
all attempts to coerce deserters be
abandoned, and that the system of re-
wards for captured deserters be abol-
ished. He says
Il have long been of the opinion that
the proportion of the deserters caught
and punished bears to the whole so
small a ratio that no influence whatever
is produced upon military discipline in
general by the apprehension and pun
ishment of the few men who are Sc
cured.
Every soldier IN the regular army is
actually volunteer. Upon enlistment
he subscribes to the oath, which Is in
Use or contract of future service and
conduct. Public sentiment in America
is inclined to regard the desertion of
soldier as nothing more than a breach
of contract There is No strong public
sentiment, ever actire, to discomfort

Austria and Russia there are practi-

The HEROINE OF TO-DAY.

She Is Self-ReIiant, Physically Strongp
and Fitted to he Mans Companion.
The heroine of modern life and tic-
ton is contrasted with the heroine of
the centu,y's beginning by Robert
Grant, in the Woman's Home Compan-
ion. IN the following passage Judge
Grant leaves little doubt as to which
of the two he prefers:
Not only woman herself, but the
universe, rejoices in the new heroine of
real life and contemporary fiction-the
self-reliant, incredulous, spllere-seek-
ing, critical, yearning modern woman.
Even the rose on her bosom wears
prouder demeanor, as though conscious
of her changed estate. Who would re-
mand her to her insipid servitude?
Certainly not man. She has become his
true companion instead of his adoring
doll. The Amelia Sedleys have passed
ever, and the Marcellas rule in their
place. And yet, with the swinging of
the pendulum in mind, a philosopher
may be pardoned for dropping a few
violets on the grave OF the heroine of
the past; even on poor Amelia Sedley's
Amelia, who would certainly have
bored this philosopher to the point OF
WEAKNESS.
Amelia Sedley was the SHEER heroine
of the past without lights AMI shadows.
But her more attractive sisters lie also
in their graves, and memories of some
of them come back TO us fragrant with
virtues in spite of their limitations,
which, it seems to a philosopher, the
new herolne-the Gibson girl-cannot
affo, TO disregard. They had no minds
to speak o., It is true. That is. they
were parrot-like in their repetition of
what their husbands arr. fathers and
brothers told them was so; and their
energies were devoted to household
concerns--the generation and rearing of
babies, the production Of delectable
food, to darning, nursing church work
and small charities. They were gener-
ally timid and afraid III mice. disIn.

destruction caused by the fall of enor-
NOUS trees is in itself great, but the

by the forestry division Of the Depart

which Will be issued in behalf of the
big trees. The report was prepared for
the Information of the Senate Commit.

time considering the preservation Of the
Calayeras and Stanislaus big tree
groves. 1t is the first document on the
subject which has ever been published
by the government, strange as the fact
may seem. Prof. W. II. Dudley, OF
Stanford University, who aided with
the work, is now preparing more de-
tailed account of the big trees and the
big tree groves, which will be published
by the government forestry office. The
pamphlet now out contains an excellent

Forester Pinchot says Of It: The

the trees necessarily entails very con
siderable breakage when one Of them
falls. Such a tree strikes the ground
with 4 force Of many hundreds or even
thousands Of tons, so that even slight
inequalities are sufficient TO smash the
brittle trunk at It's upper extremity into
almost useless fragments The loss
from this cause IS great, but It IS only
one Of the sources Of waste. The great
diameter Of the logs, and, In spite Of the
lightness OF the wood, their enormous
weight make IL impossible TO handle
them without breaking them up. For
