Growing Demand for Fore,ters,

The interest in forestry is rapidly
increasing in this country. New for.
estry schools are constantly being
opened. The attendance of students at
these schools this fall is greater than
ever before. though as yet the total
lumber Of students in tho whole coun
try is not large. This is due to the
fact that the forestry school is a thing
OF the las few years. The number
can only ircrease as the popular inter.

edge TO use unless the opportunities
for service are increased. Nearly ev.
cry state in the Union should be doing
much in forestry, and the work is so
immense that its proper control should
make room for the employment Of
thousands OF educated foresters. Ev-
cry state that has n large forest area
can make no better investment than to
spend money freely in paying the sal
aries OF such men. Take the value OF
the timber wiped u by any one of our
recent great forest fires and consider il
IN relation TO the salaries of foresters.
Then take the value of all the timber
destroyed annually in this country and
set il against the salaries of the for
Cstcrs that should be the employed,
and what is the result? The ineyita.
bic answer is that we must employ
skilled labor to prevent waste.

The House of Representatives at
Washington presents the unusual
spectacle OF three desks draped for
the death of three members. The
deaths have occurred within scarce
ly more than as many days, a thing
never before known, In the history
of the Nation. A singular feature
about the coincidence Is the prom
inence of the names and the rela
lions the men bore toward each
other. The gradual increase IN the
membership of the House of Rep
resentatives may In measure ex-
plain the apparent increase In the
deaths in the body, although 1t Is
hardly probable that three vacant
desks will be noticed there again
for long time.

When I Came.
(BY J. NJ. COFFIELD J

\bY j. NJ.
In the days of Lincoln years ago,
When slaves picked cotton row by row,
While Abolitonsts, black as crow,
Were crying freedom to and fro,
In Virginia State one cold spring morn,
While fields were yet of verdure shorn,
Two months too soon for planting corn,
Is the time they say that was born.
remember not just who were there
TO call me pretty and at me stare;
But one thing certain may declare
AT entertaining did my share.
Just six years after these things occurred,
my knowledge of which Is what I've heard)
My parents, who seldom, If ever erred
Sent me to school, tho demurred
For the master seldom would eschew
Applying gads In strokes not few
On the back of lads, and lassies, too,
Till the air was traught with "boo. hoo-hoo."
But he never struck me single blow,
For he was sisters sweetheart beau
And I've learned since, she let him know
If he licked her brother, his cake was dough!
We>had pay schools then, the fathers type,
And teachers OF good old Saxon stripe,
Who knew inst how and when to Swipe
Ffom farmers, their board and quarters stipe
In fancy see the house of yore;
Its shrtDked-up walls and punche oned floor;
Its clapboard roof weight poled galore;
lis hickory. hinged and latch 'stripged door.
Where log was taken from each side
Where log was taken from each side
Were windows exactly SO long, so wide
Its chimney of sticks and mud well-dried
Was built by mason before he died
Its long slim benches, fore and aft
Were made by cutting the straightest shaft
That grew In the forest close abaft
With WhiO saw and Y uuff1 NJ ho1und
Then dressed off smooth on fattened side,
A house length long, hand breadth wide,
In the side where bark grew tight as hide
Were holes bored slanting and legs applied.
They had no front, neither had they back,
For seating children they held pack,
And many an urchin whose spine was slack
Would feign to brace it and drop "Kerwhack."
"He.s scrouging me, teacher" used pat
So often as some little treacherous brat
Would shove his neighbor and send him flat
voice from rostrum-"Boys, none of thai
Beneath each window great broad plank
Was placed inclined on wooden shank
To which by turns we'd have to spank
To practice writing-licked If we shrank.
1t would take too long to here relate
The happenings since the aforesaid date,
For the hair once black upon my pate
Is turning white at lively rate
Nearly half a century has gone by
Which makes my time of departure nigh,
Vet cannot see now any reason why
should yet be known when my bones are dry.

AN ELEPHANTS EDUCATION.
how the Hugh Animal Is Tlught Various
Circus Tricks.

Although the elephant is not
carniyorous animal, says London An
swers, he is dangerous at times. If
you want to teach an elephant to
stand on his head, you have to be very
careful. Chains are placed round his
hind quarters, and heis then hoisted
by puleys into the air often enough
for him to understand what is re-
quired Of him. To teach these bulky
creatures to pose is very difficult.
One weil-known position is one ele-
phant standing with his forepaws on
the hindquarters Of another, while
he dourishes his trunk in a theatrical
altitude. TO teach him to do this you
first have to pass a chain round his
neck and another round his trunk.
The assistants haul away On the
neck chain until the animal begins to
choke. Naturally, he rises on his
hindlegs in order to be able to breathe.
Then the trunk cable is hauled on,
and the elephant, on whose back he
is to place his forepaws, is backed un-
der them. Curiously enough, ele-
plants dislike this treatment, and
often, after a severe lesson, will at
tack their teacher
If you want a waltzing elephant,
you will have to engage a number Of
strong assistants, who will push the
elephant round, some at either end
Of the great beast. You then shout
"WaltzP and all begin pushing.
Soon the elephant learns to whirl, on
the sound Of the word, Of his own &C.
cord.
Such tricks as ringing a bell, grind
ing an organ, are simple and effect
i've. You simply put the objectin the
elephants trunk and shake it for
him.
When he dances with tinkling bells
round his feet, one foot at a time is
lifted and shaken by the assistants.
