Tea In Paraguay.

When the natives of Paraguay drink
tea they do not pour it from teapot
into cup, but fill goblet made out of
pumpkin or gourd and then suck up
the hot liquid through a long reed.
Moreover, the tea which they use is al
together different from that which
comes from China, being made out OF
dried and roasted leaves of palmlike
plant which grows in Paraguay and
southern Brazil. The natives say that
this tea Is an excellent remedy for fe-
yer and rheumatism, and chemical
tests which have been made by Ger
man physicians seem to show that there
is good ground for this statement. Ger
tain it Is that tea is widely used
throughout Paraguay in cases of i'll
ness and that, so far as has been OBJ
served, the effects produced by it are
highly beneficial.

Forest Preservation.

The question or 1orest preser-
walton and forest cultivation is be-
ing discussed by the press of the
state, and in fact all over the
country. There is not much
doubt that the planting of trees
would be very profitable, it only
being that one has to wait SO
long for returns. 1t is rather
wonderful, however, how fast
trees will grow. About fourteen
years ago the country between
here and the lakes east of town
was run over by forest fires and
for several miles the stretch was
one vast burning. Since then
luxurious growth of birch, pop
lar and oak have sprang up which
in many places have attained
height of from fifteen to twenty
feet. A good many pine trees
have also grown up, and these
trees are now from five to SIX or
seven inches through and some
of them have attained a consider
able height. OF course it is not
to be expected that the pineries OF
Wisconsin are to be restored.
Far from it. They have long
filed their usefulness, but logging
operations will be carrird on in
this section for several years to
come though of course on small
scale. Sections of country have
been logged within the past few
years that were just such bare
plains thirty years ago, and just
as fast as the timber attains a
marketable size it will be harvest
ed once more.
The great problem of re-for-
esting, as far as northern Wlscon-
sin is concerned, is to protect the
remaining forests from destruc-
ton by fire. Fire has destroyed
as much, if not more, timber than
the lumbermen, and it seems to
us that something should be done,
some effort be make to protect
the remaing forests from destruc-
ton by fires. To do THE is not
as serious proposition as one
would naturally suppose. A few
fire wardens. active and energetic
in northern Wisconsin, with au-
thority to hire help in case of fire
we believe would be the solution
to stopping the rayages of forest
fires.

THE RURAL MAIL DELIVERY

Merrill Advocate: In discus
sing the extension of the free ru-
raj mail delivery the Evening
Wisconsin, the Green Bay Gazette
and other papers take the ground
that the rural delivery of mail
SHOULD not be extended to dis
tricts where the cost would mater
tally exceed the receipts. The
contention of those who oppose
the extension of the free delivery
system. it seems to us, is not well
taken. The post office depart
ment is not conducted for profit
and as tar rs we can remember,
does not pay, that is, there has
always been a deficiency. But if
there is any curtailment the cur
tailment should be in the cities
where the free delivery system
has been established. There is no
material Inconvenience to a per-
son living in city of from 5000
to 5000 inhabitants to SO to the

BIG NEW TANK IN
THE PRINCETON FIELD

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
PRINCETON, Ind. Dec. 1.-the Indiana
Pipe Line Company has closed contract
and will at once begin the erection of an
&0-barrel steel tank TO receive the product
Of the four Hoosier oil wells, and run 1t
thence into the tank cars 1t will be To-
Gated on the Miller farm. Heretofore with
the smaller tanks filled and no cars at
hand, pumping has frequently been inter-
fered with. The Hoosier company shipped
out three cars yesterday. General activity
continues and several new wells are due
within the next week.
There is considerable indignatio over a
report sent out from here TO the effect
that the field Is not productive and the en-
tire output daily is less than thirty bar
rels. This is not true, and is believed to
have been sent out by an oil man with a
view TO heading off other prospectors, and
thus lessen the demand for leases which
are very hard TO obtain, almost all the land
in Gibson county being leased. A careful
investigation shows that 100 barrels is a
low estimate of the fields present daily
output.

NEW TELEPHONE CASE
Judge Altman, at Lebanon, Holds
that Telephone Wires Must Give
Way to Traction Wires.
RELIEF IN DAMAGE SUIT
,ecial to the Indianapolis. Journal.

Special to the Indianapolis. Journal.
LEBANON. Ind, Dec. 19.-Judge S. r.
Artman this afternoon rendered an i'm
portant decision in a case involving the
rights OF telephone and electric railway
companies.
The new Long Distance Telephone Conn.,
pany, of Indianapolis, was plaintiff in
suit against Townsend. Reed & Co., build
ers of the Northwestern Traction line, and
asked that the latter be enjoined from in
terfering with its wires. The court rem
dered a finding for the defendants. Judge
Artman held that where a traction COM
pany has to string its trolley wires in
certain way, telephone companies are re-
CURED to change their wires to conform
thereto. A telephone company cannot en-
join a traction company from thus inter-
fering with its wires, but may recover from
the traction company, by a suit at law, the
expenses incurred by the enforced change
of wires to conform to those of the electric
line.
The plaintiff appealed the case to the
Supreme Court.
