VALUABLE RESULTS.

The forest comprises a little over
one-half of the estate, which stretches
along the banks of the French Broad
for about six miles. In ALL there are
1881 acres of woodland. The forest
is very irregular, as a result of the
clearing operation of the many pre-
vious owners, all of whom had their
own necessities and their own ideas
OF how land should be cleared The
axe has in some parts entirely denuded
the land of trees, and fire has served
a similar purpose in other portions.
Density of growth, therefore, varies
considerably, both as to the young and
mature trees. Two things have at
least been done at the forest These
are that large trees, surrounded by a
dense growth of smaller ones may be
felled and removed with comparative
ly' very unimportant injury to the
young crop, and that the additional
cost Of the necessary care beyond that
OF ordinary destructive numbering is
SO small as to be out of all proportion
to the result. If this latter fact should
be established later ON in other parts
of the United States, it's importance
to the future success of intelligent
forestry will be of inestimable value
to owners of woodlands.
This selection system will be car
ried en- over the two-thirds of the es-
tate that is situated on the west side
OF the French Broad. On the other
side OF the river the regular high for
est system is to be adopted. There the
land has been divided into ninety-
two sections, and there, in a theoreti-
cally perfect forest, the trees will be
cut in one section after another in
rotation until the whole ninety-two
sections have been cut, when work
will again begin on Section 1, and be
followed year after year. until the
whole Einety-two sections have again
been gone over with, when the rota-
tion work will begin again. Mr.. Van
derbilt, young man though he still is,
can hardly expect TO see this plan car
ried out and the theory OF a perfect
forest growth proved. That will be
left to his heirs"

THE SAME OLD QUESTION.

Even Cato and Scip!o Discussed
When the CcnturicY Began.
In the years GOO and Col A. u. c., or
AAno Urbis Conditn-that is, after the
building Of Rome, or 154 and 153 b.
C.-the question was discussed In
Rome whether 600 or COL was the be-
ginning Of the seventh century after
the founding of Rome.
While as. in our days, the standing
question In the capital Of the Romans
was "Quid novi ex African (What is
the news from Africa?) third war
with the republic of Carthage seeming
imminent. Cato the elder, Scipio the
younger and other prominent men of
the day found time for the discussion
Of the century question dnd disa agreed.
Some held that GOO, others that Col,
was the first year Of the new century
of old Rome.
So Calpurnius Piso. the Roman an
nalist. tells us in his records. He after.
ward. in 14S B. c.. commanded the
Roman legions in Africa against Car
thage, which two years later succumb-
ed to Scipio Africanus. by whom it
was destroyed.
No doubt hardly n century passed
after the times of Charles the Great
(Charlemagne) in which the centurial
commencement problem did not agitate
the minds. This was especially the
case in Italy in the thirteenth and four.
teenth centuries.
In the year 1000 there was such n
hot discussion on the question in Ger
many that medal was struck in COM
memoration Of it. with the German in
scrpton which in English version is:
"Oh. wonder of wonders! Man counts
1000, and still he ponders how old he
may be-"
Toward the end of 1870 the same dis
pute arose in the fatherland. and the
discussion was especially hot at Wei
niar. at that time the center of German
culture. There were two opposing par
ties called respectively the "Ninety-
miners" and "!Iundreders," according
to their believing either 1T90 or 1860 to
be the last cf the eighteenth century.
Goethe and Schiller. as may he seen
from their letters. at first siding with
the Ninety finally were con
verted to join the "Hundreders." but
not without first having celebrated,
over bowl of champagne. the close of
the eighteenth century on Dec. 81.
1888. and again celebrating in the
same way the beginning of the nine
teenth century on Jan. l, 1S0l.-Balti-

A SONG BY MALlBRAN.
How 1t Burst Forth After One of Her
Periods of Silence.

In the autumn of 1892 Malibran was
at Rome and went one afternoon to the
Villa Pamphili with Horace Nernet,
then director of the French academy at
Rome, his wife and beautiful daugh-
ter, Louise 'Vernet. and Legouve. The
great singer had been mute for several
days. such periods OF SILENCE in her art
being not unusualwith her. Walking
through the grounds. they came to one
OF those delicious corners of umbra-
geous green SO characteristic Of q Ro-
man garden. where a little fountain
gushed from under low terrace. ap:
preached by two short flights of mar
BILE steps and shaded by tall cypress@
and pines.
The freshness of the water and the
heat Of the day tempted Malibran, who
ran like child to hold her head under
the fountain. Her hair was soon wet,
and she iaughingly shook down its
raven black coils to dry. The sunlight,
piercing through the trees like little
golden arrows, caught the crystallized
drops of water on her head and made
them shine like tiny stars. She sud-
denly looked up at the platform above
the fountain. Her countenance chang
ed. The laughter ceased and gave
way to a serious and strange express
sion. She slowly mounted the marble
steps and, reaching the platform, lifted
her face toward the heavens, looking
like priestess with her flowing hair,
and intoned the great air from Norma,
"Casta Diva"
The surprise, the slngularity OF the
mise en- scene, the delight Of. hearing
her in such spot after long silence,
her own emotion at hearing her voice
Joined with that Of the murmuring
fountain, the breath of the air and all
the splenlors of that garden, made
such an impression on the small group
Of listeners looking up at her on her
pedestal that none of them could re-
strain his tears.-Cornhill Magazine.
