Ethics of Gambling" Several partici- pants in the debate declared that gam bling could not be exactly defined, and was to be condemned principally on &C., count of it's evil results. They declined, however, to state in what the immoral ity of the act Itself resided. Two other speakers did something toward describ- ing the immortality of the act initself, but in such metaphysical and fine spun terms that they would find it pretty diff ficult on that basis to bring home the immortality of gambling to the man in the street.
 Strangely enough, we cannot discover that most of the ethical treatises within our reach have anything very clear to say on the matter And neither Janet nor Martensen appear to refer to It.
 Why is the act of risking property upon pure chance immoral? The an swer to that question we believe to be found in two considerations. First, property represents human effort, sweat and blood and life, and the gift of God; and secondly, whatever property we have acquired is in our hands as a trust. It is a power for the use of which we are responsible.
 No one who has ever come under the influence of John Ruslins teaching

about the moral significance of money. and our responsibility for it's wisest use, need have any doubt as to where the precise sin of gambling resides. What does the gambler do but this? He puts his property, which represents his toll and the gift of God, and for the use of every farthing of which he Is responsi- ble, to a hazard into which no element of reason, judgment or foresight enters. His act is immoral because it is the de- nial of responsibility, the misuse of power. Men have no right to hazard their title to what represents life and the gift of God, and one of their re- saurces of power and blessing, upon the turn of cards or the falling of dice.
 And the evil results that the gam bling habit produces-atrophy of the spiritual nature, recklessness. irrespon- sibility and lack of faith in ones own rowers-are the direct, logical and in evitable sequences of the evil in the act itself -Watchman.

 Most dWellers in cities have heard the shrill characteristic calls of the do- witchers flying over in the night, not knowing that above them were huge flocks of emigrants or immigrants.

THE DOWITCHER'S DEATH SONG.
 SONG.

Of All the Cries of the Bird World it is
 the Saddest and Strangest.
 The winged jacksnipe, squatting low on the edge of marsh, will sometimes utter a guttural croak as it's pursuer draws near. and when it does this the end of it's bill will be against the ground. The quail, hurt so that it can not move, will often chirp in fright ened fashion just before the dog seizes it. But the saddest and most peculiar sound in all bird nature comes from the wounded dowditcher which sees that escape is impossible.
 This lone-1eeped brown nemher of the blower family is not ordinarily an expert at concealing itself. It runs through the grass with no effort at hid ing and trusts most to it's wariness and willingness to take wing When wing bone is broken, however, it develops a special ability to efface itself. and if the gunner be without a dog it will often escape on ground that is apparently bare. The hunter who has seen it fall will find it most surel. by going as near to the spot as his memory will guide him and then moving in a wide circle gradually narrowing with the point where he last saw the bird for it's cen-

On the Lumbermen and the Saw-mills
 of Maine.
 This year we have had baby winter. The sedding in Maine always breaks up too soon. There has been no decent sledding since March came in. Bare ground with a sled is a hard road to travel. We always pray for six weeks sledding in March-that is, two weeks sledding in April. If the sledding would come the 1st of December and stay until the 1st of May, what busy hive of in dl1strv Maine would be! A dry, cold winter gives opportunity for employ ment of men and teams at good wages all winter long. An open winter, short at both ends and broke in two in the middle. keeps the men and teams in the woods idle and cuts down the crop of logs. This year the demand for saw logs and pulp stuff" will be greater than the supply, and logs will be high
 This winter most all the storms have been more rain than snow. If the weather holds cold after the snow comes a logging road soon becomes so hard and smooth that you can hardly load a team, but logging roads run through swamps and low ground, and are ruin ed by a thaw. This winter one thaw has come after another, and work in the woods has been stopped, waiting for the roads to freeze up.
 An open winter in Maine is hard winter for the poor man. A much small CT sum of money has been paid for la bor in the woods than would have been if the winter had remained frozen up

"quick as wink" when they wish to

and it has been carefully ascertained
that the time consumed in the opera

average individual. That Is, two-twen-
ty-fifths of second are consumed in
closing the eyes, four-twenty-fif in

1nefHcient Puget Sound Forts.

Naval officers think that the forts
that defend Puget Sound would be
almost useless in case forest fires or
thick fog prevailed at the time of an
attack from the sea. Difficulties Of
navigation experienced during the
most of the smoke haze caused by the
recent tremendous CONGREGATIONS and
the delay of the battle-ship Oregon in
departing for Panama because Of dan
ger attendant on making the ocean
through the smoke are responsible for
the theory that the forts are inefficient
under these conditions. The gunners
in the forts would be unable to see TO
aim even In the unlikely event of the
discovery of the attacking force.
