THE CUBAN FORESTS.
Valuable Public Timber Lands in
Urgent Need of Protection.

HAVANA. Jan. 16.-The Cuban Secre-
tary OF Agriculture. Rivera. has submit
ted report to Governor General Wood
urging the appointment of a board OF in
spectors to preserve the forests He rec
ommends that six inspectors be appointed
at an annual salary Of s.. 900 each and that
they have authority to use the rural guard
in protecting the public timber lands. There
are many mmbermen IN Cuba looking for
bargains aud there is nothing to prevent
the unauthorized clearance Of very vslUa-
bic tracts where they are accessible. There
Is no great danger. however, Of Cuba los
ing her forests until the transportation IA
cilities are vastly improved. Cubans own
ing splendid stretches OF mahogany tim
berlands in the interior Of the island are
IN straitened circumstances because OF
their inability TO get their prcSucts 20 the
seabOard. With railroad development and
reduction IN freight rates there will be
a great onslaught made on the forests
public and private unless the lands are
protected. but the problem hardly seems to
be one requiring an immediate solution.
The area ~ public forests in Cuba is es-
timated ar 1850. GOO acres.
The reports OF the illness OF Col. Ramon
Williams formerly American Consul Cen
sral here, are erroneous. He IS attending

THE OYSTER INDUSTRY.
A Profitable Business This Year In
MnrNImnd.


CAMBRIDGE. Nd. Jan 16-There are
thirteen oyster-paeking establishments in
the town of Cambridge Managers and
members OF the various firm say that the
business of 1899 was equal to- il not better
than. that OF 1898. Some say that the
business would have been more profitable
but for the fact that labor has been very
high.
Last year men could be gotten on dredge
and tong boats for from $I2 to SIS per
month, while this year the same class Of
labor costs from $22 to $50 per month, and
is very hard to get at that price This and
the increase in the price OF provisions has
had much to do with profits. Shell stock
has brought far better price. requiring a
considerably larger capital to conduct the
same amount OF business On the whole
possibly nine out of the thirteen packers
will say that the business has been quite
satisfactory. There were but two houses
interviewed who thought that the oyster
beds are being depleted, the other main
| taining that there are as many and even
more oysters in our waters than ever be-
fore.
One veteran In the oyster business re-
members when oysters could be caught in
the Great Choptank River only in spots;
now he says the river is a veritable oyster
bed; the continuous taking Of oysters with
tOngs and dredge has distributed the small
growth over almost the entire bottom. He
also claims that the annual catch has in
creased enormously
One thing in which all seem to agree
! is that Cambridge harbOr should have
at least four oyster inspectors instead Of
one, as We now have They contend that
one man cannot protect the interest, and
that there are plenty OF good men who
would accept the position OF inspector for
[ $3.50 cne-fourth OF the salary now paid.
They are Arm In the conviction that the
most important thing to be done is the
strict enforcement Of the Gull law This
done the majority Of them contend that
there is no danger OF depletion in the
/ ChOptank. Notwithstanding the annually
increasing catch.
Quite number Of those interviewed say
that the successful enforcement OF this law
will be very difficult until the buyer and
the packer lend their aid 10 a strict police
supervision. When the buyer and the
packer refuse to accept illegal oysters.
then they will not be caught
Two Of the most prominent packers are
| in favor OF the count Law" now In force
/ IN New Jersey. cOntCnding, for instance.
/ that the tenth or twentieth tub should be
counted and the amount obtained by the
multiplication OF tubs, and that this could
/ be done more rapidly and with no more ex-
pense than culling. and would go very far
/ in the enforcement OF the Gull law They
/ want, they say, no more oyster legislation.
/ but give us good police protection. with
I proper inspection and we will be all right
and the oyster beds will be perfectly safe.

The secret formula OF Duffy's Pure Malt
Whiskey was discovered in 1860 by one OF
the worlds most famous chemists. and
strange to say. no other living man has
ever discovered how to produce a pure
malt whiskey. This great whiskey has saved
the lives OF thousands OF people who were
apparently doomed by that dreaded OF all
diSeases-con For forty years
Dufy's Pure Malt Whiskey has stood the
most crucial test Of doctors and chemists.
and is today recognized and endorsed by
the best authorities in the medical profess
sion as the greatest known stimulant and
tonic. on account of its absolute purity
and medicinal properties. Duffy's Is the

A HUMAN OSTRICH.
Ply Siclans Recovering Hardware
From John SaseI's Body.

NEW YORK, Jan. 16.-JOhn Sasel,
twenty-five years old. is recovering in St
Johns Hospital, Brooklyn. from the ef-
fects OF a surgical operation which was
performed to relieve a severe attack Of in
digestion. Sasel who had worked as
professional human ostrich. had swallow
ed many things which don't agree with
the human system, and on Friday doctors
in the hospital made an incisiOn in his
stomach and removed two nickel and one
brass watch chains. two latchkeys. six
hair pins rs common pins. ten 1-2-inch
iron nails and one metal ring with a
stone in IL.
There are some other pieces OF metal
still in his system the physicians say, but
IL is impossible 10 find them. and they do
not believe they will do much harm. II is
a theory that even the articles which were
removed would no. have caused trouble
had not the chains got tangled.
Sasel says that II he RECEIVERS he will
never again try to load his stomach WITH
an indiscriminate lot Of hardware. He had
given exhibitions in museum for four
teen weeks and had endeavored to swal-
low any small article which was given to
him by the spectators.
