THE APPALACHIAN PARK.

In the May Country Life, Mr.. G. P.
Amber, in writing on "Our Noun
tain Forests" gives a description of
the beautiful mountain region in
North Carolina, Tennessee, South
Carolina, Georgia, and Virginia
which has been talked of for q
national park, under the name of
the Appalachian National Park. Mr..
Amber advocates very heartily the
purchase of some two million acres
in this wonderful region. He says
it is vastly more ~aooessi bic than any
of the other well.known national
parks, being only twenty four hours
from New York, and that it can be
visited all the year around, and that
it is one of the few regions where
the lumberman has still left an op-
portunity so preserve the natural
beauty of the mountain f0rest re:
gions and protect the ultimate
sources of the important water
courses. Senator Pritchard has
introduced a bill in the Senate ask.
ing for an appropriation of IS, 000, 900
TO acquire this land. Mr. Amber
says that it can be purchased for
from two to five dollars an acre. If
the matter is pushed through, the
credit will belong very largely TO
Mr.. Amber himself, though he
gives no evidence of this in his ar
ticle, because his persistent advocacy
of the scheme and ingenious appeals
through a literary bureau TO the in
terests important in the matter
have been the chief causes why the
project has succeeded in getting be-
fore Congress. Mr.. Amber says /:
Nowhere on this continent Gan
there be found to-day as large areas
of virgin forests as there are in the
southern AppalachiRns, and nowhere
are the forests composed of go large
a variety of hardwood trees. This
is the point where the fora of the
North and South practically meet
where all varieties found in the
North, As we'll as the South, grow in
p%rofusion, according to the altitude
and the natural environment. Here
the hemlook reaches it's greatest
growth, the pine, the oak, the ash,
popular, tulip, cherry, walnut,
chestnut and many other kinds of
trees grow TO a size which can be
found nowhere else in she country.
True, the difficulty of marketing
timber from these steep mountain
slopes is enormous, but the prices
of lumber is soaring. Indeed, the
inroads of unscientifo lum bermen
in this region have already become
alarming. Review of Reviews for
May.

The Thinkers.
CoTToN-G1K ECONOMICS.

The invention of the ootton-gin
ras of greater benefit go manufac-
.nring in the North than so agrioul.
.1re in the South is a contention
made by Edward Ingle in the Twen-
tieth Anniversary Number of the
Manufacturers Record of Baltimore,
and in tracing the influence of the
invention upon the economic history
of the country, he writes "Within
less than fifteen years after the first
enduring settlement of Englishmen
had been made in America the Gull
ture of free institutions, of slavery
and of cotton side by side was begun.
The growth of each of them was as
first slow. It was not until the close
of the seventeenth century and the
beginning Of the eighteenth that
African slavery began TO assume
anything of it's later proportions, and
not until the inventions of Watt,
Hargraves, Arkwright, Crompton
and Cartwright, paralleling the lay
ing of the foundations of the repub-
Ho and creating a great demand for
the products of 4 merican slave labor,
we're capped and amplifed by the in.
vention of the saw-gin, making pos
sible the employment of a greater
supply of that labor in the cotton
fields, that cotton became a dominat-
ing staple in Southern agriculture,
and, linked with expanding slavery,
q dominating influence in American
industry, changing from hand 80 ma
chine, and American politics, slowly
working out the experiment. in rep
resentative government"

however, being Poles and Russian

many Greeks during the last year or
two as Englishmen and Scotchmen.

Armenians who come 80 this country

ONLY LIFE rs WEALTH.

"The question for the Nation is
not how much labor it employs, but
how much life it produces. y y
THERE Is NO WEALTH BUT LIFE-life,
including all it's powers of love, of
Joy, and of admiration. That ooun-
try is richest which nourishes the
greatest number of noble and happy
human beings that man is richest
who, having perfected the functions
of his own life 80 the utmost, has
also the widest helpful influence,
both personal and by means of his
possessions, over the lives of others"
These words of Ruskin, written
for England nearly half a century
ago, contain universal and eternal
truth, and + equally applicable TO
America to-day. As a people we are
becoming rich with un preoented
rapidity. Field, forest, mine, and
factory are pouring forth their
golden treasures, and our commerce
Is with all the ends of the earth. Our
great business and commercial com
binations are the wonder of the
times. Labor saving inventions are
multiplying production beyond all
precedent. All this rs we'll If rightly
used, but it must not be forgotten
that all this is of only secondary i'm.
p~ortanoe, and is only vanity and
vexation of spirit unless 1t con,
tributes TO greater, purer, and hap,
pier living. All material wealth is
only raw product for the great fac
tory of humanity, and, like any
other raw material, ia valueless IN
less it is cons amed in the production
Of she higher product. Here the
transmission must be from the ma
tsrial 80 the spiritual. The finished
product must be God like men and
women, and free, joyous, happy,
pure childhood for all the children
of the nation. The chief workers in
this factory are the teachers in she
schools, who must look up, not down.
To make wealth producers is good,
and o an unworthy object of the
schools but 80 produce perfect men
and women is far greater. THERE Is

LAUGHLIN's ELEMENTS OF POLITICAL
ECONOMY. (Revised Edition.) By
j. Laurence Laughlin, Phi. d ;.
Head Professor of Political Econ
omy in the University of Chicago
Cloth, 12mo, 384 pages. Price,
81 20. American Book Company,
New York, Cincinnati, and Chi
oago.
We are glad so see a new edition of
this standard work, which brings it
up TO date both as regards theory
and practical facts. Professor
Laughlin's brief yet lucid explana-
tions of the principles of political
economy have rendered his book
most satisfactory for use in high
schools. In the revision, among other
changes and additions, suoh topics
as the tariff and ~bimetallism are i'm
partially discussed in their latest
phases a fuller treatment ia given
30 the development of division of
labor; and there is added a brief
discussion of large production and
of combinations of producers. The
book represents the best thought of
an acknowledged authority, as modi-
fed and adjusted to the latest social
and political movements in this
country and we a confidently
recommend it as a sound and helpful
presentation of the subject.

Gentlemen About a year ago I
was suffering from what I supposed
was rheumatism. I became SO bad
that I could hardly get on my feet
from a sitting position. I run down
in weight from one hundred and
ninety five TO u hundred and forty
five pounds. I tried different kinds
of medicine but received little or
no help. I saw DIR. Kilmer's Swamp
Roothighly recommended for kidney
trouble, but I never had any idea
that my kidneys were affected. I
thought I would try a ffty-cent bot
tie of Swamp-Root and see what
the effect would be. I commenced
taking it according TO directions and
in a few days l saw that it was help
ing me. I used the fifty cent bottle
and then bought two more dollar
bottles, and they completely cured
me. I have got back to my original
weight one hundred and ninety-fv
pounds, and I am a thorough advo-
cate of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root.

Too large a class of the young peo-
pie in America, of both sexes, are
seeking pursuits not requiring man
uallabor, says William Mather. Their
education as given az present in the
high schools and colleges tends rather
TO unfit them for the actual indus
tries of life, in a country where the
vast resources of nature are waiting
for willing and trained hands to
utilize them. The American boy
with his Unborn ambition and natural
ingenuity, would cease to regard
manual labor as drudgery, if his
hand and mind together were indus
trially trained through the school
period.
