paign against alcohol was closely con- nected with the struggle against tuber- culosis. Millions were spent upon hos- pitals, asylums and sanatoria, but the root of the evil was neglected. The reason why they could not achieve suc- cess was that everywhere in the state they came in collision with those who were interested in the traffic in alcohol As a matter of fact, the state itself was interested in this traffic, since 1t derived a revenue of 165 ,0000 900 marks from spirits and 100 100000 marks from beer. It was a matter for qualification that methylated spirits were more and more employed for technical purposes, as this diminished the interest of the state in their consumption as bever- ages. The professors of the Breslau University have issued an appeal to the students pointing out the evils of in- dulgence in alcoholic liquors, and pro- testing against the folly and indecency of drinking contests.
 This is rather against the popular, mo- tion that in beer and wine-drinkinG countries the stronger liquors do not find much favor. But a great many notions arc being upset nowadays.

Name and New Hampshire already have State and forestry commissions, and 1t might be practicable to secure their co-opera- tion in the control and direction or sun reservation as is suggested
 While several States have acquired forest reservations or have taken meas ures to protect such areas, the Fedefal Government possesses the facilities TOT controlling such reservations in broad way, unaffected by local or private ln- terests, upon plans that will permit the use of private forests that remain, ol- recting with intelligence such cutting as is proper, and promoting new groWth on the denuded areas The subject IS exceedingly important in it's relation to the prosperity of the farmer, Who IS largely dependent on climate ana ram fall; to the great manufacturing inter ests. more or less dependent on the wa ter power furnished by our rivers; to the rapidly growing cities and towns whose water supply is drawn from our northern lakes, and to the health ana pleasure of thousands who annually visit the mountains and uplands or northern Vermont, New Hampshire ana Maine.
 The White Mountain region of New Hampshire covers an area of more than 200 square miles, between the lake country of New Hampshire on the south and the valleys of the Ammonoosuc ana Androscogein on the north. Connected with it's easterly are the great forest areas of Maine, extending to the cana dian frontier and on the west are the contiguous mountain districts of Yer mont.

 St. Louis has made an interesting and rather important discovery. It has found out that 1t IS no match for the asphalt trust. It has been forced to abandon its municipal asphalt plant, with which it has conducted the repair work on the city's pavements for ten years, not because the experience has been unprofitable, but because the city was forced into giving up it's plant by the asphalt syndicate. The city coun- cil, in voting a ten-year contract with the asphalt trust, explained that the city was unable to buy the paving ma terial, for the trust would not sell to St. Louis direct, and the go-between, em- ployed by the city to make the purchase during the years of municipal paving, had at last been frozen out by the syn dicate. More than this, 1t seems that the asphalt trust openly admits its dis crimination against the city.
 Perhaps St. Louis should consider herself lucky that the asphalt trust will condescend to make a. contract with her. When the United States is by and by studied as ancient Rome now is the United States will be 0 very interesting study.

be in a most inaccessible place If the marten doesn't soon revel in them. Like the male mink, the male marten has an overpowering love not only Tor his own offspring, but for the offspring of his fellow martens-such peculiar love, indeed, that If 1t wasn't for the instinct and shrewdness of the mother martens the race of martens would have been unknown long ago. The male nlarten Is so fond of his young that he will eat them up whenever he happens to find them. The mother, therefore, bears her young in some secret hiding place, and keeps them hidden until they are half grown and able to defy the cannibalistic love of their sire. The fe- male mink exercises the same instinct with her progeny for the father of them, as fond as he Is of trout and other fish, will leave his fishing any time to dine on his interesting little family."-From the Boston Evening Transcript

NOT ALL BEER IN GERMANY.

The people of Germany drink much beer, but they also drink stronger li- ouors. At Breslau the other day the annual conference of the Society for Combating the Abuse of Spirituous Li- o,1ors was held. In his opening ad- dress the President, Baron von D1er- gardt, declared that three milliards of marks were annually spent in the Ger man empire on intoxicating liquors and only twelve milliards on food. It was estimated that on an average every German man, woman or child consum- ed ten litres of pure alcohol, or thirty litres of spirits, in a year, which meant five glasses of spirits for each person daily. The people generally had no conception of the dangers of alcohol. This was especially the case in Upper sllesia. Among the working classes in that part of the country when child cried it was the custom to place a. sponge dipped in spirits in it's mouth. The very infants were thus accustomed to schnapps.

WOULD Br gHn sUN>HINE STATE

WOULD BE 1HE SUNAHfNE STATE,
 New Mexico wants to be State, and
 when it Is a State it wants to be called the Sunshine State, which will be very
 appropriate name for It. At the con
 vention which has just been held to
 start the State movement many prac-
 ticaI reasons were given to show why
 New Mexico is entitled to statehood.
 There are, in round numbers, quarter
 of a million people in the territory, and 90 per cent. of them, it was stated, are
 for home rule-that Is, statehood. More
 than one half of the so-called Mexicans
 speak English fiuently and are to all
 intents and purposes as much Ameri-
 cans as those of any other nationality.
 They are thoroughly in sympathy with
 American institutions and are patriotic
 and progressive In the American way.
 As an instance of the material growth
 of the territory, it was stated that fully 25, 900 people had settled therein since October of last year. As an instance of the patriotism of the people it was stat ed that New Mexico sent more men per capita to the Spanish war than any other State or territory in the Union. As an instance of financial interest re- futing the "economy" argument it was urged that the delay in securing state hood actually retards the material pros
 perity of the territory, as a State of fers more stability and inspires more
 confidence among capitalists through
 out the country. The territory has
 $500 0OO, 900 worth of property, according to the claims of the statehood advo- cates. and for these reasons and many
 others-but mainly because the people want the fullest degree of home rule and government and appreciate the privilege of statehood at it's highest New Mexico asks admission to the Union as "the Sunshine State."
