Government PrOtec-
! ton of Forests ~ ~
! BY A. H. WASHBURN,
uwner Of the Yosemite Valley. California,
Stage Route.

mostness enough human life can exist. Without it there can be no
prosperity.
What the government has done in protecting the trees of the
the states in the union. There is a heavy fine for clipping off a lit
tie piece of bark from the giant redwood trees of the Yosemite val
ley, and whoever does it suffers. There ought to be similar penal
ties for destroying the forests in Maine, Vermont, New York and
all the great western states too.
Some day it will be done. NO ONE CAN TELL o SOON
WE MAY BEGIN TO SUFFER FOR THE DEVASTATIONS
THAT HAVE BEEN GOING ON FOR A HUNDRED YEARS.
Every state should have a department of forestry and should
reserve immense tracts of land where skilled foresters were en-
p1oved to cultivate and care for the forests.
Up in New England the forests have for so long been considered
the chief staple of the country they are beginning to run out in good
earnest. There are now rivers up there that hardly have a good
tiers have been at work winter and summer, cutting off the best of
the lumber and carrying it UP to the banks and driving it down the
rivers to the cities and towns where there are sawnins. The houses
Of the country are built of wood, whereas they should be OF stone
and brick, with iron for the frame.
The time will come when this style prevails. When it does come
the forests will have their turn to recuperate-if they have not al
ready been destroyed. 1t is a sorrowful fact that up in New Eng
land, where was born and where l have recently been visiting, the
pine forests have been cut off till there are hardly any of them left.
And where they are cut so careessy they do not come up again to
pine. They come up to white birch, which is not half as good and
has a smaller mercantile value.
The proper thing to do in the east is to establish schools for the
education Of foresters. Then have these foresters preside over a
given piece OF country, and be backed up by proper laws governing
the cutting of timber. This would obGge the farmers and the for
esters to give the growing wood a chance.

BRIEF BOOK REVIEW.
atical. But Is n Pleasing Depart
ure from the Hackneyed Style.

The following brief paragraphs are
copied from Encounters Between
Famous Men," the forthcoming book
by j. Ellington Bildad. They simply
show, says the Ohio State journal,
whittier the historical novel is drift
ing:
"As George Washington came within
sight of Rome he observed that the
city was in flames, and, having drunk
all of the fire eXtinguisher from his
bottle at the previous stop, he turned
his horses head and was about to
gallop away, when his quick ear
caught the strains of music. George
paused, and, looking upward, beheld
Nero perched on the city wall playing
a violin solo. Waving his hand in
adieu to the cruel tyrant, General
Washington rode away, leaving the
cracking flames behind him, because
the Father of His Country had no use
for cracking flames where he was
going"
''This is the only instance on record
of a meeting between George Wash
ington and Nero. It's authenticity
cannot be doubted, inasmuch as the
writer's grandfather was present
when it happened"

Migrating Jelly Fish,

The Bay of Naples abounds in me,
dusae or jelly fish, often growing as
largea as twofeet in diameter and weigh
ing so and 60 pounds. Some of them
shine at night with a greenish light
and are known as "noctiluca" might
lanterns) by the natives. The jelly fish
sometimes make migrations in great
groups, sometimes so large and so
thick as to impede the navigation of
vessels, like the floating plants in the
Sargossa sea of the tropics. These
shoals of medusae, as they are called,
may be so dense that a piece of timber
plunged in among them will be held
upright as If stuck in the mud, and or
binary rowboats cannot force their
way through them. Their ~migrations
have never been explained. They are
irregular and occur at no particular
season of the year and under no par
ticular inf1uences.-Indianapolis News.

the back with the great hook, and

the back with the great hook, and
then throw it into the bayou where
it is sustained at a depth of a yard
by the wooden disk. Then he climbs
a little way up the sapling, bends it
down and ties the free end of his
rope to the top, permitting it to
spring back. Then he returns to his
work.
The invading tarpon sees the null
let, takes it in his mouth, swims
with it for 20 feet and tries to swal-
low it. AS he feels the prick of the
barb he leaps, or rushes, and is fast
ened. He has an unbreakable hook,
a grass rope and a tree to fight
against. That is a killing combina-
ton, no matter what his weight and
strength.
The tree which is dead though un.
rooted is elastic and gives him the
strain of the rod as if it were held
in human hands. He may leap 20
times clear of the water and shake
his head like a dog tossing a bone,
churn the still dark water into
waves and burst with all of his speed
against the thing which holds him,
but no one is there to see. Finally
he turns on his side and dies.
Before dark Tony goes up the
bayou in a skiff and finds a drowned
tarpon. He tows the fish to the
bank, drags it out, estimates its
length and weight and goes home.

THE TIME OF SINGING BIRDS.

There's a murmur and stir in the under
world.
A hurry of life to greet the sun
The little green leaves are wide untu.ied,
And primroses open one by one;
The boisterous winds blow kind and soft
AS they feel the kiss of the rainbow
showers,
And the merry brown larks sing high
aloft,
And woods are alight with flowers.
You seemed so weary, o Earth, and old,
A feebler traveller scant of breath,
With the blood in your veins grown dull
n cold
You dwelt in the Shadow-land of Death!
And then, on a sudden, we scarce knew
when,
You rose with the break of the first
Spring day
And laughed in the face of forgetful men
And passed on your royal way!
You whispered a word to the wandering
breeze,
And the almond blossoms their petals
shed.
And soon will laburnum and lilac trees
Give place to the hawthorn white and
red:
There's a mating of birds n bleating of
f1ocks,
The plowman goes whistling np the
dawn
And the river is leaping DER fern-fringed
rocks
Like a creature, newly born!
Come out, o jewellers in cities bred
The dewey meadows are cool and sweet,
There's a cloudless canopy for your head,
A daisied pavement to rest your feet:
And the gold that you hoard in mint and
mart
Is surely a poor and passing thing
To the Heaven-stored wealth of Natures
heart
In the first glad days of spring.!
Christian Burke. in Pail Mall Magazine.

such n~oiseleSs ease that one will
hardly know that there is a fire in
his neighborhood save by the clang-
ing bells of the rushing artillery APP
paratus.
In point of economy the modern
appliances will, it is claimed, cut the
expense of a fire department in a big
city to a third or more less than they
are at present. 1t is claimed that the
use of the chemical extinguishing
powder will work a vast saving to
property owners in salvage, to say
nothing of the economy in expense
to a city. 1t is a fact that the great
est loss from fire is caused by water
Such damage will be obviated by the
new methods proposed. 1t is GER
tain that fewer tiremen and horses
will be necessary under the new
regime. Nor will the expense of
maintaining equipment for fire en-
gines and the like-hose wagons and
reels and hose, for instance-be half
so great, according to the best esti-
mates.

INSULT FROM WILD TURKEY.
The Notifying Experience of
Southern Sportsman with One of
the Woodland Wits,

The wild turkey, called by Choctaws
and Cherokees in different tongues the
wit of the woods" is supposed by old
hunters to have intelligence above
that of other birds. In general it has.
Yet sometimes it mods like Homer,
and sometimes it displays the inditfer-
ent recklessness of Il cross between
DArtagnan and dear old "Oudia's"
hero, BERTHE Cecil, says the New York
Sun.
c. S. Stribling lives near the lower
part of the San Antonio river, a few
miles above its debouchment into the
Gulf of Mexico. Wild turkeys are
plentiful in the region and he kills
a good many of them.
In winter it is never more than three
miles from his house to a roost. When
he wants turkey meat he saddles his
pony before daylight, rides within IL
quarter of a mile of the roost, dis
mounts, walks stealthily to the bur
dened trees, waits until he can see a
round black form between him and
the sky, knocks one over and goes
home.
Mr.. Stribling does not pretend to
be a sportsman in the finer sense of the
term, in fact he raises cotton as a
means of keeping in debt, but he likes
turkey, especially when it is self-fla-
vored with nuts and wild pepper.
The river runs by his home and is
80 yards wide. Directly ere from
his front yard grows "A solitary cypress
that is probably $50 feet high.
One forenoon, while sitting on his
front gallery and enjoying a cob-pipe
he had been blackening for five years,
Stribler glanced toward the cypress
and saw perched upon its top a wild
gobbler whose FURNISHED feathers
shone in the sun. 1t stood calmly with
head erect enjoying the air and the
placid river beneath.
Striblerj laid down the pipe care
fully, walked into his bedroom, pickec
up his rife of "A caliber, and went
back to the gallery. He knew that he
would be forced to goahalf-mile down.
stream to the nearest ford, cross,
com back upstream, go back down.
stream and come back upstream in
order to retrieve, but did not propose
to be insulted.
He shoots well. He leaned firmly
against the end post of the gallery, got
the tip of the front sight on the base
of the black beard which hung from
the gobbler's breast, held it there for
a moment, smiled as it occurred to him
that the thing was too easy, and
pressed the trigger firmly and stead
lily.
There was the usual sharp crack,
which sounded doubly loud in the still
ness of morning, but the turkey was
unmoved. 1t evinced no curiosity.
Stribling tried it again, a little more
carefully, and with less confidence;
same result. He said: 81 may be get
ting old and wrinkled in the face, but
I'll bet the farm and all it costs me
that can make it move" Same re-
suit.
That was all the cartridges he had.
He walked to the bank of the river
and yelled at the bird. 1t looked down
at him and sailed away.

Insisted on His Rights.

Some parents still believe in the old
adage that sparing the rod spoils the
child. An Indiana paper tells of one
of this class who strobe into the
schoolhouse and confronted the teach
er after the scholars had been dis
missed for the day.
81 understand you whipped my boy
this morning." he began angrily.
Eyes, sir, I did," the terrified teach
er responded, "but l did notwhip him
severely"
"That's what I'm complaining
about" rejoined the parent; "you
didn't wallop him half enough. Now,
look here. l am one Of the largest
taxpayers in the school district, and
my boy is entitled to as good a whal-
ing as you give any other boy. I'm
derstand that. If you slight him
again you'll hear from me. Good aft
ernoon, sir!"-Youth's Companion.

HIS FISHING-ROD A TREE.
Louisiana Blacksmith Who Catches
More TarpOn Than Anyone
Else with Less Fun.

On Pettibouche bay, a small linden
tation of Louisiana coast line, lives a
French blacksmith who catches more
tarpon, year in and year out, than
any 20 men in the United States put
together, though why he catches
them or what fun he gets out of it
he cannot tell. His name is Tony
Racial; he is grizzled, and he has
lived there all his life, says the New
York Sun.
A good many sportsmen arc in the
neighborhood of the bay from April
to November with expensive rods
and reels, camping outfits and mon
ey to pay for boat hire, and Tony,
when he has the time, looks at them
with interest. He cannot under
stand their enthusiasm, but is will
ing to let it pass without protest.
He works hard, shoeing horses, re-
pairing the wagon tires of nearby
planters and doing an odd job now
and then on broken sugar-making
machinery, and he has not much
leisure. Luckily for him he can fish
in his w peculiar way and work at
the same time.
Within a hundred yards of his
shop a deep bayou, 80 yards wide,
makes down to the sea, and the wa
ter in it for some miles from its
mouth is as salt as the sea water,
Sea fishes visit it in numbers, and, as
many schools of mullet pass into it,
the tarpon haunt it. Tony catches
them in this way.
Two hundred yards up the bayou
bank stands a tough oak sapling, Is
feet high and as thick through at
the base as his calf. 1t is 20 feet
from the water and he has shorn it
of limbs to the top. 1t is his fishing
rod.
Some time ago he made from tried
steel a huge hook, with a sharp
point and atrociously effective barb.
This hook is six inches long, nearly
as big as a lead pencil in the shank
and an inch and a half in diameter
at the curve.
Attached to it is four feet of very
strong dog-chain, a chain with a
breaking strain of probably 300
pounds. To the chain he has tied 60
feet of quarter-inch grass rope that
would hang a bull. He has a float
made of a wooden disk four inches
across and the float is kept some
three feet above the hook.
Twice or thrice a week Tony will
catch a fat mullet, hook it through

King Edwards Memory.

While he was in England Mark
Twain says his head was once taxed
as gas works. He wrote Queen Vic
toria a friendly letter to protest, say
ing: 81 don't know you, but I've met
your son. He was at the head of a
procession in the Strand and 1 was on
a bus" Years afterward he met the
prince Of Wales, now King Edward
VII, at Homburg. They had a long
walk and talk together. When bid
ding him good-by the prince said: 81
am glad to have met you again" This
remark troubled Twain, who feared
that he had been mistaken for some
one else. He Communicated the sus-
picion to the prince, who replied:
"Why, don't you remember when you
met me in the Strand and / was at
the head of a procession and you
were on a 'bus?"-St. Louis Post-Dis-
patch.

what-but the man in the office there
thought you must have meant tons,
so l told him to ship 200 tons. What
did you mean, Frank?"
81 was talking about buying 200
shares of copper stock"
Shares; that's it! l couldn't re-
member, but | thought it didn't sound
like TONS"
Weakened by illness, Mr.. Miller
broke into helpless and uncontrolla-
BILE laughter, while Dolly gazed at him
in alarmed solicitude.
Don't laugh so, DEAR" she i'm
plored, softly, and then burst into
tears afresh, sobbing: sob, Frank,
I've driven you crazy, I know I have!
Oh, dear! Oh, dear!"
With difficulty Mr.. Miller con
trolled himself.
"Why, Dolly" he said, at wasn't
copper l intended to buy; it was cop
per stock"
"Well, that's what l thought. You
call it stock, don't you? I've often
heard you speak about your stock on
hand. Don't you near copper, as
well as other things, when You speak
that way"
And Mr.. Miller had to confess that
he did.
"That was 4 lucky mistake of yours,
Dolly" MI. Miller remarked a week
later. "All the men at the Lakeville
mills have struck, and it looks as if
the works would be tied up for a
long time. The price of the Coalescent
company's shares has dropped ten
points. and is almost sure to go low
err. If l had bought 200 shares as /
intended. I should have lost $4,000. So
that part of it is good luck. But ow-
ing to the strike and the reduced out
put of the company's mills, the price
of copper has gone up, and shall be
able to sell to other dealers those
200 tons you bought at a profit of
several dollars a ton. So, my dear,
you did the right thing when you did
the wrong thing"
Which was very pleasant news, in.
deed, to Dolly. But she didn't feel
pulled up and proud over it,; nor to
her most intimate friends did she
ever boast about her business ability
in the purchase and sale of stocks.
And, somehow, when in her presence
was repeated Mrs. Ashley Adams re-
mark that corn-stalks were the only
kind of stocks she knew anything
about, Dolly always blushed.-Ledger
Monthly.

Tenant Farming.

One of the striking things shown by
the last census is the remarkable in
crease of tenant farming. The per-
centage of farms operated by tenants
showed a considerable increase by the
census of 1890. For the whole country,
this percentage has increased in the
last ten years nearly twice as fast as
the percentage Of population Of the
nation, four times that of the purely
agricultural population, and twice
that Of the farms operated by their
owners.-Pittsburg Dispatch.
