OBITUARY.
MRS. GEORGE H, DoUGHERTY.

Surrounded by husband and children and
tc - -. soFed in life, Mrs George II. Dough
Tiitsy 10 hGT nome near fFhckee passed to her
long rest Sunday evening, January goth.
She had been i'll for several weeks with lung
trouble, though until the lastfew days serious
results we're not feared. The disease finally
developed into pneumonia, which was the
cause of her death.
Emily Boardman was born at Morristown,
Vermont, Sept Z, 1860 She was united in
marriage to George II. DouGherty at Water
bury, Vermont, June 27, 1877. OF this union
seven children were born, of whom six are lIv-
ing three boys and three girls. Her husband
came to California in 1882, and in 1894, after
he had made several visits to the old Yer
mont home was accompanied here by Mrs.
Dougberty and children. They have resided
here continuously since that time.
Possessed of the qualities of love and
gentleness aud a never ending devotion to
home and family, Mrs Dougherty in her life
time endeared herself to hundreds to whom
the news of her taking away comes as a sad
blow. But to the nearer ones, so swiftly
bereft, the shock is most terrible. 1t is to
these to whom the heartfelt sympathy of an
entire community is ex xtended in the sad hour
of their bereavement.
The funeral took place Jan. %, shortly
after two O'Clock from the Catholic Church
Inc sanctuary was ne Ltly draped IN black
by ladies of the congregation. The church
was filled by the most representative people
OF 'rruckee who came to pay theirlast tribute
Oi respect to che departed. Mrs. Dougherty
was religious without being ostentatiOus and
showed the best example as mother to her
fine young family. Father Gleeson visited
her Sunday after the services in the church.
She knew the end was approaching and dis
posed heroe with great faith for the recep-
tion of the last Sacraments.
AS the body lay in the church Father Gee
son drew vivid picture of the mother in the
cofin and her baby at home in the cradle.
There were but few dry eyes in the church.
Some beautiful and appropriate hymns were
sung by kind ladies of the congregation and
visiting friends. The procession formed and
wended it's mourniul way to the grave. The
pastor blessed the last resting place OF the
departed and amid tears and sincere sympathy
all that was mortal of Mrs. Dougherty was
consigned to mother earth.
Mrs. Dougherty was daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. G. W. Boardman, both OF
whom are now living in Morristown.
She also leaves three brothers, Wilbur
Boardman of Michigan, Albert W.
Boardman of Wolcott, Edward j.
Boardman of Craftsbury, and three
sisters, Mrs. Carrie E. Marshall OF
Hyde Park, Mrs. Grace Staggles OF
Stowe, and Mrs. W. s. Daniels OF
Morrisville.

means the farms and pasture grounds

building-can be properly draughted
In addition, fire lanes connecting the
water-courses (thus joining the natural
fire-breaks by artificial ones) might be
made, and a system of patrol trails
might be created and hereafter main
tained, invaluable in case of fires, helpful
in logging operations and welcome to

1t should be continuously borne in
mind, that the revenue which forestry
means to draw from forestal capitals, is
not necessarily made up by returns ex-
clusively obtained through sale of
timber If it is financially advisable.
with due regard to the prospect of the
future, to use forest ground for forest
pasture, or for farms, or for the produc-
tion of tan bark, or for whatever pro-
duction (rosin, pulp, cork, rubber, fruits,
game, minerals) you can imagine, then
true forestry means to engage in that
most promising industry, Or, possibly,
in combination of several of them.
For the commonwealth as forest
owner, considerable share of forestal
revenue frequently consists of pennies
saved" which, if the old proverb is not
mistaken, are in no way the interiors to
pennies earned"
If by regulating, by handling the
forestal investments properly, the mani
fold losses can be reduced, which
threaten navigation, water supply, irri-
cation, agriculture, public health,
property destructible by floods, then
every penny saved by such handling and
regulating is penny legitimately earned
by forestry. In other words, the gross
returns from forestry practiced by the
commonwealth are not tangible goods
only; the yield of the forest consists, to
a large extent, of safety, of assistance,
of insurance furnished to the people and
to their industrial vocations.
Within the forest itself, these Gin
direct" blessings are scarcely ever felt.
Hence the private individual owning

the pennies saved are not saved for him.
In addition indirect" revenue cannot
be derived from the forest in many
case without curtailing the 'direct'
monetary revenue. Private forestry,
left to itself, cannot be expected to meet
the combined tasks.

cannot attempt to restrict individual
rights, without compensation, for the
benefit of the commonwealth.
On the threshold of the goth century,
it would not do to simply forbid the de-
vastation of forests owned by private
individuals in the face of the fact, that
forest destruction is, from the merely
commercial standpoint, superior to for
est preservation.
If the people realize, that the main
tenance of the forests is necessity for
their welfare, they must be willing to
spread over the entire country those
now ceptional-conditions under
which conservative management of pri-
vate woodlands is safe and remunera-
tive business.
Forestry as all investment is unsafe as
long as fires cannot be prevented from
destroying the forest. True, the prime
val forest is fairly fireproof. AS soon,
however, as the removal Of the mature
timber allows the sun to roast the vege-
table litter on the ground whilst at the
same time infammable debris is increas-
ed, the seedlings, saplings, poles and i'm
mature trees left intact by conservative
utilization of the forest are badly ex-
posed to destruction by fire.
The virgin forest in America and the
well-managed, long, established forest
which you find in Germany and France,
are fairly fire-proof. The transition
Forest" however, which necessarily
leads from primeval conditions to those of
regulated production, is very badly en-
dangered by fires. Now, during the tran
sition stage, is the time for action. Sixty
years hence the virgin forest will be re-
placed by forest allowing of regular
management, if protection is carried
through, or else will be replaced by
barrens, if protection is denied.
For the average owner OF woodlands,
protection from fire during the transition
stage, at his own expense, is practically
impossible, the annual outlay being
larger than the annual yield of the
forest.
Only on very large, compact holdings
say tracts of over 100000 acres-pro-
lection from fire can be effected at a
reasonable expense. Still this expense,
added to the taxes due annually, gradu-
ally grows up to a sum almost covering
the gross receipts obtainable from a
second growth in the forest.
Let us suppose, in order to clear the
situation little better, that lumber
man working conservatively has left in
his forest, per acre, young and i'm
mature growing stock of spruce scaling
1000 TT. b. m. per acre. After protect
ing his forest for 20 years, he will be
able to cut compare Pinchot, "The

lection from fire was five cents, the
yearly taxes were two cents per acre
during that period Of waiting. Both
outlays taken together have accrued,
figuring at per cent interest, to $2.57
in the course Of 20 years. Thus net
yield of only ($3-$2.57) or 43 cents per
acre is left to reward the venture.
The owner cutting slightly and work
ing conservatively takes great risks,
because he leaves large capital exposed
to destruction by fire.
The owner cutting heavily and leaving
almost no seedlings, saplings and poles
on the land, takes small risk. Still in
his case the period of waiting for a
second cut is SO long, that prospective
taxes and prospective expenses consume
all hope of remunerative outcome of
the venture.
Where protection from fire is abso-
lutely assured, a second growth of trees,
in my opinion, cannot be prevented from
developing. Even against the wish of
the owner the trees will encroach upon
the cut-over land. For thousands Of
years, before the advent of fires, one
generation of trees, in the natural course
of events, has replaced the other.

in Bavaria and Jack Pine in Minnesota.
Thus, if the people Of this country
care to engage in far-sighted policy,
if the providential functions of govern
ment relative to forestry are understood,
let them furnish laws and salaried
staff to enforce these laws by which
forest fires are prohibited. Then only
we can expect private forestry to be
practiced, because then only private
forestry is safe and remunerative
investment
For the Dominion and the Provinces,
in their capacity as forest-owners, similar
considerations hold good. Both are in
the lucky position Of owning large and
compact tracts, 30 that the expense Of
protection, per acre Of land, is greatly
reduced Both have the power to enact
laws suiting the task, with view of
perpetuating the forest whilst using it.
At the same time, the interest of the
commonwealth demands, that no acre of
virgin forest shall be touched, unless
the land is fit for farming, or unless the
forest, during and after numbering is
fully protected from fire.

1t certainly does not.

Mrs. FELTON, is voicing the cry of the
children in the rural schools who need
and must have fuller recognition.
The call becomes more pressing as we
realize that these children are not
aware of the loss which comes from
feature to receive the training of the
we'll equipped school. 1t seems almost
a crime, to let those of our own race
sustain this deprevation while millions
are expended in equipping colleges for
the higher education of the negro; IT
is we'll that every child of every race
should be laugh the primary branches
of an English education, but how many

Since the time of King Solomon and
of King Herod we~have learned much
of the needs of childhood. yet there
is a long road to be travelled before
we can arrive at the ultimate good,
for thousands of little ones life is only
a fierce struggle, without attainment,
by reason of their imperfect equip
ment; and the need is that we shall
do the work of preparing them for lffe's
work The rural school should be kept
in session for ten months of each year,
and every child, poor or rich, should
attend.
Mr.. Wright's dispensary bill seems
to be a favorite; it is a conservative
measure and the personality of the
author goes far in the direction of it's
adoption. The people have confidence
in his conduct and his motive. Mrs.
FELTON, attracted public attention. How
far she succeeded in forwarding the
interests of her clients remains to be
seen. A Boston barber has been fined
$40 for declining to shave negro. This
if a victory for the individual negro,
is an injury to his race. One might
look for a better result from the en-
vironment of the classic city. Why

of the race, Prof. W. H. Council, ap-
preciates the situation and realizes that
evil, and only evil, can come from
such effort. A race which does not re-
spect itself cannot expect to win the
respect of men. But there are thous-
ands who realize the truth that social
mingling is not only impossible, but
that it is not to be desired. When
this is generally accepted much of fric-
ton will disappear. II

THEY PUZZLE THE MEDICos.
Some New Diseases That Doctors Car
Neither Diagnose Nor Cure.

Some New Diseases That Doctors Can
Neither Diagnose Nor Cure.
From the Chicgo Chronicle.
When Solomon declared that there is
nothing new under the sun the art
of the physician was yet in its infan-
cy. All practitioners of the present day
bear testimony ito the fact that new
diseases of the human system are con-
stantly developing and of necessity
they require new modes of treatment.
One disease which the doctors are
trying to find out about. with very
little success, is beri- beri, which seems
to be Identical with the Sleeping sick
ness of the west coast of Africa. The
attention which the medical profession
has paid recently to eastern and trop-
ical diseases has brought beri-beri to
the fore whereas little scientific atten-
ton used to be paid to it. Negroes are
peculiarly susceptible to the disease,
and on the west coast of Africa whole
villages of natives have been known
to lie down and sleep themselves to
death Some time ago there was an
outbreak of this disease in a lunatic
asylum in Dublin, and several patients
slept to death. How this malady, sup
posed to be peculiar to the tropics and
the far east, came to appear in Dublin
is a mystery. Recently the Norwegian
bark Taurus put into Falmouth, Eng
land, having had seven cases and four
deaths from beri-beri on her way from
Jacksonville, Fla. Here, again, is a
mystery, for the disease is unknown in
Florida English and American SOL
diers serving in the far east rarely suf-
fer from beri-beri, but French and
Spanish garrisons are greatly subject
to it, A couple of years ago out of a
garrison of $50 at a post in French
Tonquin fifty died from beri-beri.
AS if the doctors were not bothered
enough with the old diseases, a new
one has appeared in Sardinia and
Sicily. The doctors in the Mediter-
ranean islands recently noticed that
many of the peasants showed symp-
toms of poisoning from eating beans.
They developed curious symptoms and
all of them We're overcome with a
drowsy stupor. In some cases those
predisposed to the disease have been
seen to fall unconscious simply from
inhaling the scent of a bean field in
flower Yet to the average person
there is nothing poisonous about beans.
Horrible thought! Suppose this new
disease should spread to Boston.
Another disease which puzzles doc
tors is that form of idiocy known as
cretinism Why does it exist only in
certain districts? 1t has been said that
it is epidemic only in limestone regions,
