Money BY Mail.

Thepostofice department announc-
ed that to facilitate the correct issue
of postal money orders, and fur
Their improve it's money order SER
vice, it has introduced, for distri-
button by business firms to their pat
rons, and for the convenience of those
who have occasion to remit to such
firms, special forms ofapplications of
money orders, in which the name and
address of the payee are conspicuous
ly printed in red ink.
The style of these especially print
ed application forms is exhibited in
samples shown. The department will
furnish such forms free of cost, and
will cause them to be sent to any ap-
plicant, in such reasonable quantity
as may be desired. Upon request
made therefore through the postmas,
ter at any money order Office.
1t has already become the practice
of many large advertisers, insurance
companies, publishers, seedmen, etc.,
to enclose one of these application
forms with each bill, catalogue, in.
voice, prospectus, etc, issued by
them; and the results show quite
conclusively that the method com.
mends itself to a large class of per.
sons who make purchases by means
of mail ORDERS" and who have beer
in the habit of paying therefor in
postage stamps or in coin or notes
sent in the open mail. It is desirable
to avoid the use of postage stamps
for this purpose, as also the trans
mission of coin or notes in the oper
mail, especially where money orders
are available. To encourage and pro
mote the use of the postal money
orders, which afford the safest anC
most satisfactory means of making
remittances of small amounts, thesl
application forms are designed.
These applications will be printed
with translation in any foreign Ian
guage.

Lumber in the South.

In 1880 the southern lumber mills
had an output valued at $38, 116, 900.
In ten years this had advanced to
$105, 575,819 Since then there has
been a steady increase in production,
until to-day it may be conservatively
estimated that the value of the out
put, including the material used for
crossties, fuel and fencing and the
naval stores by-products is between
1926, 100000 and $35O,000,00O.
With no change in the methods
which have been generally followed
in numbering operations the output
of the south ought to be expected to
reach at some time point where an
annual decline instead of an annual
increase will be reported, and this
may be prevented and the timber OF
the south may be made perpetual
source of wealth.
In recentissue of the Manufacture
ers' Record is noted the beginning
of plan for a conservative handling
of southern forests, which, generally
applied, will make them permanently
productive.

BIGGEST OF BATTLESHlPS.
Three of 5000 Tons Each to be Built
by Great Britain.
[ From The London Telegraph

From The London Telegraph
For several years past the size OF
the men-of-war of the British navy
has been increased at a rapid rate.
We are building battleships and ar
mored cruisers of $4,000 tons dis
placement, and it has now been de-
cided by the Admiralty to maze
further almost sensational departure
by laying down in the present
year three battleships with a
displacement of no less than
10000 tons. They will be thelargest
and most powerful vessels for war
like purposes afloat. Remarkable
as is this further addition OF 5000
tons the decision of the naval author
tiles, though it will be severely criti-
cised, is in keeping with the tendency
of all construction in the last forty
years. We began with the Warrior,
of 5000 tons; than built the Agin-
court and her sisters, of 10000 tons
or so in 1876 laid down the infex-
ible, of IL $50; in the SOS the Ad-
miral class, OF 10000, followed by
the Nile and Trafalgar, of II, $40,
and in the early 90's by the Royal
Sovereign, of 1850. Then came
the Majestics of IA, 900, and the For
midable type, $4,000. Now at a
jump we pass to leviathans indeed of
$4,000. The tendency abroad,
though not so marked, has had the
same direction. America is building
ship of $500 tons.
Our new monster warships will
mount four 50-ton II inch weapons
of the newest type, being the same
number as is carried by all the battle
ships of recent date, and ten six-inch
quick-frers, instead of II, as in exist
ing ships. The reduction in number
in this instance is due to the intro
duction of an entirely new piece, the
rs wire-wound breech-loader, which
has been adopted because the eight
inch gun ia too heavy for rapid work,
and a need has been felt for some
thing between the twelve-inch and the
six-inch quick-fire.
II there is an advantage in this add.
ing to the size of our ships of war, in
spite of the cutlery against the policy
of putting all ones eggs in one bask.
et," it is not easy to see why we should
rest satisfied with the present stage
Vessels of 20, 900 or even 10000 tons
may be regarded as desirable before
many years have passed. Meantime
the average cost per ton, which has
risen in The last six years from sec
to SIS in this country, still continues
to increase, and while the newest
armored cruisers will cost more thar
21,000,000 the battleships of 5000
will probably not be completed fol-
less than 81, 100000 each, possibly
more.

Effect of Liquor.

Prof. Hodge has proved that dog
kept habitually under the influence
of liqnor is not as intelligent, alert,
energetic or reliable as dog of tenn
perate habits. The purpose of the
experiments is to prove that what is
true of dogs is equally true of men.
1t would hardly be supposed that ex-
periments upon dogs would be nee
essary in order to prove that. 1t
should be possible to find sufficient
illustration of that fact among men.
Since the earliest records were made
it has been common knowledge that
sober habits we're an advantage to
a man. This has been recognized in
the business world always. A man
of bad habits has little chance to Sc
cure good positions. No employer
wants a tippler or a guzzler or a
drunkard for an employe. No man
can secure employment who presents
himself under the influence of liquor
and no man can retain employment
who shows he is using liquor freely,
such men cannot do as good work as
temperate men, and are not worth
the wages they would get; therefore,
they are turned away. With DR..
Hodges dogs the effects are just the
same, but no different. A prospec-
tive purchaser of Dogs would prefer
the sober to the intoxicated speci-
mems, and 80 would the prospective
employer of men. Worcester Gazette.

The stories of gold discoveries in
Luzon should not be accepted at
their face value. Undoubtedly there
is some gold to be found on the
island, but it cannot be very abun-
dant, or else the Spaniards, who were
most persistent gold seekers, would
have found it. They overlooked a
lot of it in California, but for this
very reason it is not likely that they
overlooked any great amount in the
Philippines.

The census of 1900, for the first
time in a century, shows that the
white population of Louisiana ex-
ceeds the negro population. And
Judging from the rate at which the
negros are now leaving the state be-
cause of persecution the excess will be
very much more pronouncedin 1910.
All this cannot be very pleasing or
reassuring to the Louisiana planters,
who have to rely so largely upon
NEGRO labor.

This line he was to carry to the Mis-

Lewis & Clark's expedition, was st
keeping all eye upon the grave of the
soldier they left here in the wilderness.
Mr.. Pierce found the spot, but instead
of the "seeder post" of Captain Clark,
he says that there was cross upon the
hilltop. Of the grave there was no
sign, but the cross was in fairly good
condition. 1t was of red cedar, the two
bars being roughly hewn from logs the
joint was not mortised, but the intersec-
tion had been notched with an axe and
then secured with pins, likewise of red
cedar. These having become somewhat
loosened with time, Mr.. Pierce caused
them to be renewed and Sergeant
Floyd was once more committed to his
destiny, which has now, after another
half-century, brought him to a stone
monument 100 feet high. A. T. R.

GET THE BEST SHRUBS FOR THE
LAWN

In selecting shrubs for the lawn,
quality should be considered, first of
all. There cannot be many used on
small grounds, therefore those selected
should be the BEST Let me say right
here that it is a serious mistake to scat
ter shrubs over the surface of lawn.
To do so detracts from it's dignity. A
lawn, as a lawn, should be given a
chance to assert itself, and stand on it's
own merits. If it is broken up by shrub
berry it looses it's individuality, and is no
longer lawn in the best sense of the
word. Shrubs should, therefore, be kept
to the rear of it, or to each side, and the
lawn be left perfectly clear. Shrubs
planted in this manner give to the open
space of green, a sort of framework or
setting which enhances j. it's beauty

Importance.
Already two great national works
have been made possible by the exis-
tence of this Arboretum. The first, the
Forestry Report Of the Tenth Census,
prepared here, which is the foundation
of the awakening of this country to the
practical worth of it's forests and sec
ondly, the issue of that great work,
"The Silva Of North America" the
most important contribution to tree
knowledge that has ever been made,
whose author was thought worthy of
the gold medal of the National French
Society of Agriculture, one of the high
est of scientific distinctions.

The influence of the Arboretum upon
public opinion through it's organ, Gar
den and Forest, which only ceased when
the good seed had been thoroughly
sown in the American mind. it's con-
stant pressure upon the people through
the press, can scarcely be calculated;
but all who appreciate of what impor-
tance the preservation of the forest
wealth of the United States is to it's
future income, should be glad to uphold
the strength Of this great and invalu-
ablesinstitution and to aid it in main

DUTY ON RUSSIAN SUGAR

New York, Feb. 4.-According to n
special from Washington to the Jour
nal of Commerce, there are two as
poets to the problem Of whether n
countervailing duty shall be laid upon
sugar imported from Russia, upon the
ground that the system OF regulating
sugar production In Russia is equiva-
lent to a bounty, which will be care
fully considered by Secretary Gage
before announcing a decision. One
relates to the facts, the other to their
legal Interpretation. The facts were
pretty well ascertained by a special
agent of the treasury who went to
Russia last summer. The system Is
complicated, but has been fully set
forth in the report which is now be-
fore Mr.. Gage. The question Of how
the facts shall be interpreted is now
under consideration.
Attorney General Griggs has been
asked by Mr.. Gage for his opinion.
The facts appear to indicate that
there is no payment by the Russian
government to the sugar growers, but
considerable tax Is levied and pro-
duction is restricted to a given guam
tity for each establishment. The Ok.
cess of production must be marketed
abroad, but the gross production. in
Guiding that sold abroad contributes
to the adjustment of the allowance
of the production Of the following
year. 1t is in the interest Of pro-
ducers who desire to increase their
future quota to purchase the cer
tificates of expectation from those
who have produced surplus, but are
less concerned to increase their quota
Thus the purchase of the certificates
enables them to secure larger al
lowance for the future, while the ex
porter receives a premium from the
purchaser of the certificate over and
above the price he receives for the
sugar.
1t is contended by the advocates
of a countervailing duty that the en-
tire machinery is under the control
of the government and that the ex
porter does, in fact, receive bounty
through government Intervention. Il
is contended that there is no bounty
involved, but that the entire arrange
ment Is a sort Of pooling contract be
tween different sugar manufacturers
who are taxed heavily In any event
and receive no substantial aid from
their government. Which OF these
views is correct is problem the Sec
rotary Of State must eventually de
eide.
