rrALY,s CORK FORESTS GONE.
Reckless Destruction Of Trees Has De-
stroyed the Industry.

rfohl the SnfcaBo Cnr0nlcie.
Italy was formerly large producer of
cork. but the splendid cork-oak forests
which were Its pride and profit are now
practically extinct. for no care was taken
to replace those that were destroyed. We
are using in the same way the great timber
forests of our own country. In some Of
the Italian provinces-as, for instance. in
Calabria-the trees have been felied and
used for charcoal making. In other prov
inces they have been cut down on account
hectares Gal 800 acres in Portugal. 10000
dustry Is quite an important one and will
now receive fresh impetus, a new process
having been discovered by which large
pieces can be made out of small ones, so
that cork waste can be utilized in large
quantities. This is all the more important,
as the price of cork increases steadily, both
on account of the growing demand and the
lessened supply of the raw material.
Larger forests of cork-oak trees are ex-
isting in Spain, Portugal, France, Algeria
and Tunis None are found in Asia Minor.
and only rarely in Greece and European
Turkey. although the climates seem to be
favorable for their growth The area COW
cred by these forests is estimated at 100000
hectores (T41 800 acres) in Portugal, 250,0O0
hectares (617,150 acres) in Spain. 100000
hectares (691 $50 acres) in Algeria and only
$4,000 hectares Q97,IJ0 acres remain in
Italy.
While Spain still furnishes 32,s0O tons of
cork annually, the production of Italy has
decreased to 4,0CO tons. The value of the
Spanish exports of cork amounts to s6.000,-
600 per year. against less than $250.0O0 for
Italy Only Sicily and Sardinia are still
producing cork to any considerable extent
in Italy, while the former great oak forests
of Calabria are almost totally destroyed
1t seems incomprehensible that this de-
struetion has been permitted. The trees
easily reach an age of 200 years. They yield
cork in their thirtieth year and continue to
do so every seven years. Seventy five years
ago the English demand for cork was sup
piled exclusively from Italy. The destruc-
ton of the remaining forests goes on UNI
interruptedly, and nobody seems to try to
prevent it or to plant new forests, in spite
of the fact that Italy possesses the most
favorable climate and soil for the cork-oak
the most favorable conditions for its
growth being found in the volcanic soil Of
the peninsula.

The Decay. Of Nicknanaes.

From the Lorion Globe.
Whether there is merely a temporary lull
in the bestowal on public personages Of
nicknames, or whether the practice is dying
out, 1t is difficult to say, but it is an unde-
niable fact that in no branch of life do
nicknames flourish at the present day 90
rankIy as they were wont to do in the past.
There used to be time when every poll
tician of any Importance had his particular
name. sometimes opprobrious. Nowadays
we have Joe" for Mr., Chamberlain. and
Mr.. Laboucheres name is generally abbre-
Waited; but otherwise the public is content
to speak Of its leaders by their proper
names. Nor is 1t only In the political world
that this is noticeable. Nicknames are
dying out at the public schools. In the
earlier books of school life very curious
school Ife) the hero on his arrival at st.
Asterisk's School or Blank College is inn
mediately equipped with a sobriquet by
which the whole school will call him in fu-
ture. The modern boy, for the most part
avoids this habit. Nicknames are reserved
for those in authority. The lights of the
fifteen and eleven may possess them, but
the new boy who expects to be saddled with
some cacophonous title will be agreeably
disappointed. And even the members of the
foot ball and cricket teams referred to
rarely receive genuine nicknames of the old
style. We cannot help feeling that this is
an improvement on the old system Many

down school nickname.

Anti-Flirting Advice.

"As rule the people who part with val
liable advice on the subject of flirting have
had more experience than they are willing
to admit" complained the maiden in the
pneumonia blouse. advice is never worth
the time it takes to give it, anyway. Either
the one who gives it can't put herself In
your place or you haven't yet arisen to the
gver's stage of experience. SO it's time
wasted Besides, /, for one. like to acquire
my experience in my own way. Especially
do / object to friends generally and old
maid aunts in particular who give them
selves trouble about me. One dear old soul
after worming out of me the confession
that on one occa sion L had flrted bit Just
to pass the time, demanded to know IL T
did not consider it wicked. She even went
on to dilate upon the immortality of en-
couragipg man for whom I had no par
ticular regard. 1t was so funny at first
that I nearly laughed in her face but I
declare before she let UP she had mo
ones life away. L pulled myself together
again. however, thanks to her theatrical
phrases The one that did the business
she shot out at me like a cannon ball She
demanded why liked to have some man or

VICTIM OF HIS OWN LAW.
Signer of Declaration Arrested for
Travelling on Sunday.

Bangor, Me-, Corr. New York Tribune.
While digging over court records of the
eighteenth century in the Pownalboro'
court house. which Is still one of the an
cient landmarks of Dresden. Lincoln coun-
ty, Charles E. Allen found the interesting
story of how signer of the Declaration of
Independence was arrested in Maine for
breaking the Sabbath.
Robert Treat Paine was an eminent bar
rister in Boston, noted for the many prom
inent positions which he had held. Among
the acts Of public character the best
known Is the fact that he was one of the
signers of the Declaration of Independence.
Later he was one of the judges of the SUI
preme judicial court of Massachusetts,.
which state, of course, then included Maine.
While a judge of the court he drafted a
bath. which bill was made a law of the
commonwealth early in the year 1892.
1t 30 happened that few months after
ward Mr.. Paine, with Increase Sumner
held court in Portland, adJourning on Sat
urday. Being anxious to open court In
Pownalboro' early on Tuesday, the judge,
with the other court officials, set out on
Sunday, driving with their teams to Bath,
whence they were to proceed up the Ken
nebec by boat. OF course, there were no
railroads, and only few stages. AS the line
Of carriages approached Freeport the peo-
pie were much scandalized, thinking that
court officials should be answerable to laws
which were passed for the rest of the peo-
pie. and the wardens promptly arrested the
whole party for violating the law. They
were indicted and held for trial.
Matters were still more complicated by
the fact that the attorney general of the
commonwealth, James Sullivan, whose duty
it was to prosecute offenders, was one Of
the arrested party, and they were not
wholly relieved from the possibility of pros
ecution until the Massachusetts legislature
came to their assistance and ordered the
proceedings stayed. In their petition to the
general court, June 80, 1892. which petition
is long, they claimed. among other things.
that under the law they were exempt from
arrest, because the law provided that one
might travel on Sunday IL necessity COM

them to evade the burden of military serv-

two years.
A fourth scoundrel named Kabatnikoff,
who played the part of agent, or middle
man, was sentenced to six months hard
labor. Three soldiers were also awarded
terms of imprisonment. The sentences
have given intense satisfaction, the trial
having aroused the greatest interest among
medical, military and other professional
men in South Russia. The gang had been
a well-organiZed confederacy which had
been at work for years in South Russia,
and had waxed wealthy on the sums Of
money obtained from scores of soldiers and
recruits whom they had freed from service
by the performance of various operations.

Paris Corr London Standard
A group of tourists. including several
English and German visitors to Paris. have
Just had an unpleasant experience in the
historic catacombs which undermine the
older portions of the city. The party had,
as usual. entered the catacombs by the
Rue Denfert-Rochereau, and In single file
were proceeding, under the leadership of a
guide. through narrow gallery which runs
toward the Montsouris Plain.
They had been walking for about quar-
ter of an hour when an English gentleman
in the middle of the long Indian file. stop
ped to examine some human remains and
the inscriptions This halt divided the party
into two, and when the Englsman had con-
cluded his examination the latter portion
started on trot to join the leaders. But
in doing SO they took wrong turning, and
only after they had gone some distance did
they discover their error. The first portion
of the little expedition was by this time far
away. and neither the guide nor its menu
bers appear to have taken any notice of
the absence of the remainder of the party
though the guides have orders to count the
number of persons who go down into the
catacombs and the number who come out
For two hours the lost party wandered
from gallery to gallery before they at last
found an outlet. The ladies were much
frightened, and even the men say that the
experiences was not pleasant one.
