IT is interesting to note how the heaven Of the
United States Forestry Commission is working A
very few years ago the first thought Of the farmer in
country to strip the land Of trees and get
in crop Of vegetables cereals as quickly as pos
sible. It shortsighted policy, but was natural
enough, for untold wealth of trackless forests was
then awaiting the ak of the woodman; but during
the last ten years things have changed and the
farmer is beginning to realize that trees good
crop and that it is quite profitable and not nearly
as speculative to plant and grow them it is to
many Of the cereals: John r. Spears, writing on
the profit in tree planting in the New York Times,
tells of farmer living near Hutchinson Kan, who
planted eighty in trees. In the of the
first years following the planting 1880 trees
we're elled and cut into fence posts each tree made
on average. two fence posts which sold for 10
cents each on the ground. The farmer received
$4,000 cash for the lumber that was cut and three
years later the balance of the timber the panta-
ton was measured by the Agricultural Department
at Washington and found to be worth $26717 per
acre. $21 1880 for the lot "After counting every
expense" says Mr.. Spears, Including all labor,
the price for which the land would have rented and
the interest at per cent on all money invested-a
net profit of $19755 per remained for ten years.
or $19.75 per year. In addition to this profit was
the money received for the trees cut in the thinning
Even when the ground is to be used for strictly
agricultural purposes it seems to be good plan to
leave some timber on or it, particularly in the
western states where the rainfall is uncertain. A
country denuded of timber requires much more
moisture than land upon which trees are growing.
The latter retains the moisture. And on the other
hand, trees prevent the ground from washing away
during severe storms. It seems to be fact that
only the farmer who is penny wise and pound
foolish" strips his land of trees.

Mr.. VANCE THOMPSON, discoursing on fa]conry
in the July Harper's says the next few years will
witness a revival of the medieval pastime both in
this country and abroad and prophesies that it will
supplant the festive aniseed bag as recreation
for wealthy people who go in for outdoor sports.
Mr.. Thompson has evidently determined to be in
the vanguard of the writer's who will make the 'cam-
pagn of education" in behalf of the SPORT and his
first article the subject is most fascinating. He
considers the matter from the viewpoint of a hu.
manitarian and would persuade his readers that the
sport is not cruel. In fact he says much. NO.
he says "this is not cruel sport" It is drama
San DID, old DRAMA splendid and cruel and strenuous
life ITSELF we neither better nor worse than
those who draw the curtains and sit at home' A
specious argument, Mr.. Thompson. 1t were better
to give oneself to the joys of wild riding and
the chase and forget the humanties while following
the hawk
The plea of the life strenuous covers multi
tude of cruelties. It can be applied to dog fight
cooking main logically as to falconry; for are
not the dogs the cocks fighting for their lives in
the grimy, bloodstained pit enacting the old
drama of life and death as the hawk and pheasant?
Surely they are The environments different
that's ALL There is sport that has the death of
an animal as it's ultimate object that is not cruel
there are only degrees of cruelty. It is more hu-
name to shoot bird than to have it torn and mu-
tilated by a falcon, it is more humane to shoot
fox than to run it down with the hounds. Shooting
and fox hunting exharating sports, but neither
can be defended from the humantarian's standpoint
The best of such pastimes is :fun for the boys but
death to the frogs" If there is to be revival Of
falconry it will be because it takes it's followers out

BENEF1CENT providence keeps watch and ward
over the fortunes of the Standard Oil Company and
destiny shapes the end Of J. D. Rockefeller, rough
hew them how he will On the 18th of this month
representatives of all the coal miners in this country
will consider the ACCESSIBILITY of general STRIKE and
from the present outlook the indications that it
will be declared The very magnitude of the under
taking will appeal strongly to the western miners,
let alone the arguments of the anthracite men. If
this general strike does and continue for any
length of time the railroads will have to resort to oil
for fuel, and should the change be made it
probably would be permanent. Almost any old
wind blows some good to the Standard Oil people,
even the discovery of rival fields in Texas and a
strike among coal miners.

Inconsistencies as cause OF reverslOn to
agery is the novel and startling theory advanced by
DR.. Henry G. Rowland in the July McClures AS
expounded by the writer the theory sounds most
plausible to the layman. Dr. Rowland is surgeon
in the United States army and has considerable
shore duty in the Philippines. For the sake of
argument he admits that in some cases natives have
been executed without trial, that commissioned
officers have ordered their men to torture prisoners
and that the have been only too willing to obey
the orders. After admitting this, he proceeds to
prove that under the circumstances neither officers
nor men can logically be held responsible for their
acts.
Many of the soldiers in the Philippines, says
DR.. Rowland, suffer from chronic nostalgia, in
plain language homesickness, which when it gets be-
yond certain point much recognized disease
yellow fever or measles. The climate Of the islands,
combined with the per6dy and brutality of the ma
tves the long forced marches and the mpos
sibility of ending the instruction without exter-
minatng the inhabitants, aggravates the disease
until in course of time acute dementia makes it's
appearance Several cases that under the i'm
mediate observation of DR.. Rowland are cited by him
in his article.
Dr. Rowland emphasizes thought that must
have occurred to thousands of persons in the last
army in the Philippines do not differ from the
general of meets in America in fact
they not different And the average American
is pretty decent sort of fellow who finds soace
in administering the water in lawlessness of
any sort. Admitting this self-evident proposition
if some Of the troops in the Philippines have trans
crossed the laws of civilized warfare is it
able tossuppose the offenders we're demented when
the offences were committed? We think not.
If DR.. Rowand's diagnosis is correct the
remedy is simple: Send troops to the Philip
pines and send them often Don't keep the men there
SO long When they first go there, according to our
authority, they level headed enough it is after
the long, heart breaking marches continue month in
and month-eut that the iron gets in its work and
the acute nostalgia manifests ITSELF The of the
tropics helps If the island service drives men mad
after couple of years and endangers the reputation
of the country the obvious thing to do is to relieve
them before they have been there too long By al
simple system it could be SO arranged that each
regiment could always have large number Of fresh
men in it's ranks without being composed entirely
of recruits, while the officers could be relieved by
men from home at stated intervals.

WORLD WANTS OUR GOODS.
Daily Inquiries Received From
Firms in Various Lands.

Evidences of the demand throughout
the world for American made goods are
received daily at the Commercial mu-
scum in Philadelphia, says the Press
Of that city. The correspondence bu-
reau received recently more than a
dozen letters from firms located in vari-
GUS foreign countries requesting infor-
nation as to where various manufac-
lures can be obtained.
One of the communications came
from st. Paulo, Brazil, asking that the
writer be put in touch" with manufac-
turers in this country who produce tex
tile fiber machinery, mining machinery
and machinery for operating vessels for
river navigation.
Another correspondent who lives in
Gilly, Belgium, desired to know where
he could secure fat and round steel
cables for mines He stated that the
European made goods of this descrip-
ton were not of a very good quality,
and he closed his letter with the state
ment that there was an urgent need for
cables of superior quality. The
writer also explained that he wanted to
represent United States fire and acct
dent insurance companies to compete
with London concerns. According to
his communication, there is fertile
field in Belgium for writing insurance
policies.
A Paris firm desired colored kidskins.
A Norway firm expressed u wish for
American made chemicals. A letter
was received from Christiania firm in
Norway stating that their Shanghai
house wanted machinery for making
cement barrels. From Budapest came

USED A HATPIN.
PIucky Columbus Girl Found an
Effective Weapon.

AS Miss Maude Tamb bin, a young
girl Is years af age, who works at the
Bibb Mill on East Highlands, Column
bus, was going to her home on East
Highlands, a few nights ago following
a roadwaY2in rather lonely part of
northwest Rose Hill, she was accosted
by strange negro. She wanted him
to let her alone, saying her uncle, a
policemn, lived in house just short
distance ahead. He was not frighten-
ed, and ran in front of the girl, block
ing her path. She tried to escape
him by turning aside, but he turned to
the same side of she road and kept her
back.
The negro then advanced upon her,
making desperate attack upon her,
with the evident intention of commit
ting criminal assault. The plucky girl
drew her hat pin and lunged it at the
negro, and, she believes, stuck it in
,, him. He struck her In the breast and
caught her arouud the neck, trying to
throw her to the ground. The girl is
strong for her age, however, and re-
sisted stoutly, at the same time max
! ing desperate efforts to stick the me-
gro with the pin. Finally, alarmed
by her cries and baffled by her stout
resistance, he ran away. He carri ed
the hat pin, either in his hand or
sticking in his flesh, the girl did not
know. The negro was stranger.
