HOLIDAY TREES IN WISCONSIN,.
Half Million of Them Shipped An
 nuaiIy to Dealers in the East.

From the Milwaukee Wisconsin: Few people realize the difficulty ex- perienced nowadays in securing Christ mas trees for the holidays Millions of trees are used every year in this country, and each succeeding year finds it more difficult for the merchants to secure choice trees for the market, owing to the rapid advance in clear ing the forests of the west. It is es- timated that nearly 100000 trees are shipped every year from this state to eastern parties. Theodore Hoffmann is probably the most extensive dealer h { }fi 3tmas trees around here. He a. speciality of the business, and ss at he will break all records this yeal ' regard to the number of trees shiBzsaa east. Already he has several crews of men at work in Marinette county, about seventy miles north of Green Bay, and also in Florence coun- ty. MT. Hoffmann says that in years past he had no trouble in getting all the trees he desired in the swamps above Green Bay and near Marinette, but now he is obliged to send his men into the backwoods a considerable distance, as the trees cannot be secured now without a great deal of trouble. The great difficulty now is getting the trees to the railway stations, much time being lost in this work He fig ures that he will get out close to 1,000,- 900 trees this winter, more than half of this number going to the east. At the rate the trees have been disappear ing of late years I figure there will be a scarcity of them in five or ten years, remarked MT. Hoffman, while dis eussing the question. There are few persons making speciality of raising them for the market, but it is prob able that some one will take it up be- fore 1t is too late. It is really hard matter to get good trees, my men re- porting that very few of them are of good size and quality. However, there are many swamps where the trees grow in abundance, and the owners will probably realize that they are worth the holding after all, especially when they learn how valuable they may prove to be-"

A ouaintix- Yorded Memorlai.


 A quaintly=woraed memorial has been presented to the dowager empress of China and her faineant son on the subject of mining concessions to for eigners. h the opinion of the China men who have drawn up this memorial and who aimplofe the sacred glance of their Majestfess' fer their strictly com mercial proposal, the tsung-li-yamen and the board Of mines have been q great deal too free ill the granting of concessions. Whole districts have been assigned 10 the eeneessienaires instead of clearly defined spots, whilst "hon- est, upright and worthy gentry and merchants' are left out in the cold The memorialists propose that in fu- ture Ghinamen and foreigners shall own an equal number of shares in any mining company They go a step further, and claim that the direction of mining companies shall rest in the hands of Chinese merchants; and If foreigners object to this system, and ask that the direction be placed in their hands, their request shall not be entertained The rapid advance in the last sentence from a business-like suggestion to sheer exelusiveness is decidedly amusing.

Falls Into a Tunnel Once Used by Dick
 Turpin.
 London Standard: While returning from a run with the weil-known Highgate harriers, Thomas Henry Blake of Kingsdown road. Holloway, was suddenly missed from The pack in South Grove, Highgate. On his com- panions going back in search of him it was discovered that there had been a subsistence in the roadway, and that Blake had disappeared into the cavity, which was about six feet wide and fif- teen feet deep. Blake, who was seri- ously injured about the legs, was pulled out of the hole and taken to the police station close by. Dr. G. Fetch CT, the police divisional surgeon, at tended to his injuries, and then al lowed him to be taken home. The po- lice informed the local authorities of the subsistence and in short time Mr. Blair, the surveyor and engineer of the St. Pancras vestry, and ether officials, were upon the scene. An examination of the cavity led to the discovery that the upper portion of a subterraneous passage had collapsed. and on tracing the course of this pas sage another was discovered. The main tunnel, which is of considerable circumference, leads on the left to the Flask tavern, in South Grove, close to St Miehaels church, and on the right it is supposed to lead to the open fields near Kenwood the seat of the earl of Mansfield The Flask tavern, very old house, is popularly supposed to have been one of the haunts of Dick Turpin, the notorious cattle-lifter, smuggler, housebreaker and highway man. The house has numerous and extensive cellars, with trapdoors lead ing from the rooms above, and close by is the stable which is said to have sheltered Black Bess. It is supposed that these subterraneous passages were constructed in order to give a ready means of escape from the house in times of danger

BEE sTlNcs CURE RHEUMATISM
Elder WhItmer Finds It Most Sue
 eessfnI Remedy.

If you have Rheumatism, a healthy swarm of bees can cure you. They will sting the disease out of your body. The bee cure has been known for some time, but 1t isn't always a successful medicine. The latest report of suc- cess is given in the American Bee Journal by Elder Daniel Whitmer. He says: q believe that Lee poison, with some people. is a good remedy; it has proved bonanza and antidote to the writer for many years. Prior to my entering the bee industry I had been victim of the disease in it's different forms. attacking the limbs and other portions of the body. Finally, by oyerwork and manual labor, was at tackled with seiatic rheumatism, re- sulting in paralysis of the back, thighs, kidneys, bladder, etc, and was under the doctors care and confined to my bed and room for three months. Under the doctors treatment I be- came eonyaleseent, but unable to per- form manual labor on the farm AS yet the great nHmBHess in my limbs was so present that in my invalid con- dition I chose apieulture as a pursuit to give me 8 livelihood. One day in handling colony Of bees I became somewhat careless in the manipulation and irritated the bees to the extent that they rushed out of the hive and stung me desperately in the numb parts. If I had no feeling before, it was evident I had then, for I just danced as never did before, for I don't believe in it. In twenty-four hours was a well man. so far as rheumatism was concerned, numbness all gone.9

Illustrations hy Photograph.

Tn artistic circles of late some con cern has been oceasioned by the in ereasing favor which photography is finding among the conductors of illus trated magazines. Black and white draughtsmen fear that the camera is going to tell prejudicially against their calling. That may be true of the craftsmen whose skill is below the av- craze, but inquiries have elicited the fact that the demand for good and original black and white work ais greater now than 1t ever was. At the same time photography is daily play ing a more prominent part fn the pro- duction Of popular magazines, one req son therefor being that every other man is an amateur taker of sun pie lures, and is naturally interested in the productions of his fellows. profes- sional or herwtse.-London Mail

Accomplished Ling uistie Feat.

Dr. Weldon, the new bishop of Cal cutta, has accomplished linguistic feat. Six months after his arrival he took a full confirmation service in the Bengali dialect at Ranaghat, in the diocese of Calcutta. There are many in the episeopacy who take up the study Of the Indian tongues but throw them up in despair. Bishop Weldon, however, perseyered, and got ea go well that. besides the service named, he has already given a sermon in the BengaH Yefnacular, which is the one mostly spoken in the Calcutta diocese.
