Any one who takes vital interest in
the welfare of his grandchildren can
insure their being rich by planting
trees on treelcss land, which land he
can leave to them in his will. Some
big British fortunes have been provid-
ed for in this manner. A predecessor
of the present Duke of Athole had a lot
of land, but it was not especially yslu-
able-in fact, he was "land poor"
He determined that his descendants
should fare better and so began plant
ing trees. In the course of his lifetime
he planted 14,095,719 larch trees alone,
covering an area of 1924 acres. Ills
last plantation covered 1900 acres,
which in the ordinary way becomes n
forest of mature timber 20 years after
planting Trimmed down to about $50
trees an acre, each tree will contain at
least 90 cubic feet of timber, which, at
% cents a foot, gives sum of $4,375
an acre, total for the value of the
timber on the last plantation alone of
1874, 100000.
The whole initial outlay for this plan
tation, which has so increased the
wealth of the ancient house of Athole,
is said to have been only about $4,000
for the Seeding trees and the cost of
the labor of planting them. The main
tenance of the wood was paid for out
of the profits arising from the sale of
young wood when thinning the planta-

RUBBER HISTORY.
Man That Came with Columbus Saw
Haitians Playing Ball.

.sThe world was long time learning
the uses and value of rubber" says Il.
E. Armstrong In Ainslee's. "For two
centuries after the Spaniards saw the
gum in the hands of natives of the new
world 1t was little more than curios-
ity. Old Herrea, who went with Co
lumbus ON his second voyage. made a
note of an elastic ball which was mold
ed from the gum of a tree. At their
games the nude Haitians made 1t
bound high In the air. The Aztecs were
familiar with the gum and called 1t ule,
and from them the Spanlards learned
to smear 1t on their coats to keep out
the wet They had crossed the seas
for gold and never dreamed of time
when the sticky milk the uncouth In
dams drew from strange trees would
be worth more than the treasure Of the
hills.
"Jose, king of Portugal in 1855, comes
down to us as the wearer of pair or
boots sent out to Para to be covered
with waterproof gum. Yet 300 years
were to eiapse before a Connecticut
Yankee should make a pair of boots OF
rubber which would not decompose.
Dr. Priestly. author of work on Per

useful In small cubes for rubbing out
pencil marks: hence the name rubber.
The India linked with 1t refers to the
sayages who gathered 1t in the Amazon
wilderness. DIR. Priestly's cubes were
half an inch long and sold for 3 shil-
| lings, or rs cents. apiece-a stiff price,
for the finest rubber today is 81 a
pound Its price for ten years has
| ranged from 81 cents to $l.09.
"The conversion of the gum to useful
purposes made but slow Roadway. The

Many veterans of the Rebellion can

airy charge in which the narrator OF the
following experience nearly lost his

a peculiar interest and may show the
way to restore health, strength and en-
ergy. Mr.. William FL. Whiting, of Mt.

"When the Civil War began ! was
