During the next ten years the cher.

Jerome Bonapartc. in the Ladies' Home
Journal. Various plans were medl.
tated, particularly his proposed mar.
riage to one of the daughters Of Joseph
Bonapartc. who was then living in com.
Portable exile ut Philadelphia and at
Bordcntown, New Jersey. and who was
even solicited to place himself active
ly at the head of the Bonaparte interest
in France after the death of Napoleon
at st. Helena. But "Bo," the pet name
she gave her son, was little inclined 70
help along these matrimonial specula.
tons. Her especial desire was that lie
would not fall In love with an Amer.
lean. and that he would always bear In
mind the possibility that the French
people might call Bonaparte like him
to their throne.

the peasants and poorer classes have
no other meat for weeks and months.

OUR VANISHING PINES.

The Greatest Staple I'm Our Lumber Mar
ket Seems Destined to Disappear.
Minnesota is our last great source
OF white pine lumber, and its supply
will be exhausted within the next five
years If the present rate of consump.
ton continues. The greatest staple
IN our lumber market seems destined
to disappear. Maine, once the white
pine State, ceased long ago to be Q
source of supply. The Michigan
plneries were nearly exhausted five
years ago, and the lumbermen of Wis.
cOnsin say they expec. to cut the last
white pine in that State this winter OF
the Chippewa River.
The disappearance of so large an
industry will be national misfor.
tune. Only n few years ago there
were eighty large saw mills in Fond
du Lac, Eau Claire aud Marathon.
Wisconsin towns, but now all have
disappeared, and the men who
worked in connection with them have
had to change their business or seek
employment in other lumber regions.
More than 10, 900 men are cuttinp
white pine in Minnesota this winter,
and their wages amount TO more than
$500, 600 month. About 90, 600 men
are employed in the saw-mills of
Minneapolis, and over 10000 men in
the State make their living out of the
lumber industry. They know that in
few years more they must find other
work, aud many talk already of fol.
lowing their present employers to the
e -
acquiring large interests in the timber
lands of Washington, Oregon and
California. Thus an army of axe.
men will have crossed the continent.
laying low the greatest pineries of the
country.
Thus far it has not paid Pacific
coast lumbermen to send much OF
their product East, so their surplus
has been sent to foreign markets. But
when we begin to draw more largely
upon the Southern pines and Northern
spruce and hemlock it will certainly
be profitable TO send Pacific lumbe en-
to the Eastern markets.
There is for us no serious prospect
of lumber famine The United
States will continue to beat the world
in the variety, excellence and album
dance of its timber available for saw
ing. But we shall use n good deal Of
soft lumber not so desirable rs white
pine.
This country should begin in earnest
the study of methods of Outstanding
and cultivating our timber, so that we
may always have all abundance.
Lumber is wealth and it is comfort

WORDS OF WISDOM.


Every rightful occupation has its
just compensation to the industrious
worker in the shape of well-earned
money; 1t has also its own peculiar
service of welfare to the community;
but beyond both these it exerts a re.
active influence for good upon the life
and character of every faithful toiler.
1t has the power of developing every
faculty of the mind, every fine moral
quality.
The basest thought possible con.
corning man is that he has no spiritual
nature; and the most foolish under
standing of him possible is that he
has or should have no animal nature.
For his nature is nobly animal, nobly
spiritual-coherently and irrevocably
so; neither part of it may. except at
his peril, expel, despise or defy the
other.
No true artist ever yet worked for
ambition. He does the thing which
is in him to do by force far stronger
than himself. The first fruits of
mans genius are always pure of
greed.
Be not diverted from duty by any
idle reflections the silly world may
make on you; for their censures are
not in your power and consequently
should be no part OF your concern.
Talk about looking for opportuni-
ties of doing goodr We may az well
walk about looking for frewood in
forest or water during a food. The
world is full Of such opportunities.
The mind requires not, like an
earthen vessel, to be kept full; con-
yenient food aud aliment only will in
flame it with desire OF knowledge
and an ardent love Of truth.
No human life would be possible if
there were not forces in and around
man perpetually tending TO repair the
wounds and breaches that he himself
makes.
A happy marriage depends much
more on q good, loving, patient char
acter, than all the circumstances of
time, place aud money combined.
Think Of the ills from which Won
are exempt, and it will aid you TO
bear patiently those which you may
now suffer
lie content with doing with calmness
the little which depends upon your
self, and let all else be to you as If
were not
Life without liberty is joyless; but
life without Joy may be great. The
greatness Of life is sacrifice.
The rage after desires unattainable
is increased by the difficulty
Judgment and decision are mans
great wheels OF fortune.
