Benefits of Forestry.
Brooklyn Eagle.


There are striking differences
between results, sanitary, industrial.
commercial, in a country that protects
its woods, and one n which things go
at haphaZardS and in which the
immediate dollar rather than the
ultimate health and wealth of the
nation is the thing to be gained.
Sweden'S wealth is increasing and
ours is decreasing SO fast, in our reck-
less chOpping that water supplies are
dried, rainfall is decreasing, agricul-
ture is set back, industries dependent
on water power and wood fuel are
banished, prices of wood materials are
raised, the beauty and salubrity of the
land are diminished, and parts of the
country are threatened with the
blight that has fallen on portions OF
the Old World, where the same reck-
less spirit of destruction has been rife.
In Europe state control of the woods
began when it was round that towns
which had for centuries enjoyed a
commerce were cut off by shallow
water from communication with
other towns along the banks. The
same thing has occurred in this country
as witness the Connecticut, and the
severity of these artificially created
hardShipS will increase unless we
copy the Old World methods and
secure and protect our woods.

A Singers Voice by Post.

OF all the uses to which the phono-
graph has been put the following is
probably one of the most practical.
A well-known manager received some
time since letter from Paris inclosing
the photograph of lady and what ap-
peared to be tinfoil neatly folded up
and curiously indented. The letter was
to this purport:
'Sir: 1 inclose photograph of myself
in La Traviata' and specimens Of my
voice. Please state by wire terms and
the date when can appear at your the
ater. have the honor to be, sir, yours
F. B."
The poor manager, whose scientific
education had evidently been neglected,
was considerably puzzled. The photo
graph showed lady Of attractive pres
ence, the letter was to the point and
evidently American. But how to dis
cover lady's voice from tinfoil curl
ously indented passed his comprehen.
sion. He consulted his friends and
soon obtained the necessary informa-
ton. An adjournment to the Crystal
Palace was unanimously voted. The
foil was at once adjusted to the instru-
ment there, and, after a few revolu-
tions of the machine, the notes of a
well-known operatic melody resounded
with crystalline clearness An imme-
diate engagement Of the cantatrice was
the result Of this novel test of her voice.

As Others See Us.

We have way of generalizing in the
most superior fashion in regard to more
ancient races. This, however, is boot
for the other foot-a quotation from q
certain Chinese essayist, who thus de-
scribes the American people:
They live months without eating q
mouthful of rice. They eat bullocks
and sheep in enormous quantities. They
have to battle frequently.
The men dress all alike, and to Judge
from their appearance, they are all
coolies; neither are they ever to be seen
carrying fan or an umbrella, for they
manifest their ignorant contempt of
these insignia of gentlemen by leaving
them entirely to women. None of them
have finger-nails more than an eighth
of an inch long. They eat meat with
knives and prongs.
They never enjoy themselves by sit
ting quietly on their ancestors graves,
but jump around and kick balls as IL
paid to do it. They have no dignity,
for they may be found walking with
women.

Unnatural History.


81 think it is a funny thing" remarked
Young William Lee,
One night when he was studying his nat
ural history,
"How animals with plants and trees can
get SO strangely mixed,
Although this book declares that in their
Kingdoms they are fixed"
smiled at Williams quaint conceit, but
when I'd thought minute
couldn't help acknowledging that there
was reason in it;
For in the park across the way, as plain
as plain could be.
Beside the gateway growing was a tall
horse-chestnut tree.
And dainty dog-wood blossoms from the
woods we often bring,
And there's the yellow cow-slip that we
gather in the spring;
We've hunted for the fox-glove and the
timid hare-bell blue,
And captured spiky cat-tails and the
pussy-willow, too.
In corner of the garden is the tiger
lisy's lair,
Last April there were dande-lions ram
bling everywhere;
In fact, whole menagerie very quickly
found
OF animals, both wild and tame, a-grow-
ing in the ground.

WHEN I WAS A BOY.

When was boy, oh, the fruits were SO
sweet,
And the melons so luscious and fine;
The cherries were redder, and richer their
meat,
And the berries were simply divine.
There was nothing but joy-when l was
a boy.
What beautiful, soul-thrilling song birds
there were;
How much sweeter the song OF the
thrush!
The mocking birds carolings hallowed
the sir,
Which with Eden delights was atiush.
There was nothing to cloy-when was a
boy.
The dogs and the horses were far better
then,
And the game in the woods; and the
Were as much above those of to-day as
are men,
And the bliss could be measured by
tons.
There was then no aTloy-when I was a
boy.
In that good and that glad bright day
that is gone .-4-
Flowers had sweeter perfume, and the
birds
Wore plumage more gay, while the sun
brighter shone;
Braver men uttered kindlier words.
There was small heart annoy-when /
was boy.
Like angels from heaven were lgirls Of
that day;
Modest, sweet, and SO pure andtso true;
All honor and virtue illumined their way;
They were then far more beautiful, too.
And their ways were so coy-whensI was
boy. H..
I know shall never see times like the
old,
Giving peace. to the day that die;
Reclaiming these women, 30 overly bold,
Who with men and the devil now vie.
But had no such employ-when l was
boy.
When was a boy, a mans riches and
wealth
Were not solely his money and lands;
There were riches Of character, riches Of
health,
And the wealth Of the work Of hisl
hands
had riches of joy-when was boy.
