Canal Laborers Wages Reduced.

The Wadsworth Dispatch says that
the E. B. g. A. E. Stone Company are
nov using but one steam shovel on the
Government canal. They have given
notice that the wages of laborers will
be reduced from % for eight hours
work to $1.75. With 20 cents out for
board, men can arm the magnificent
sum of 81 a day, with the usual 10 per
cent discount when it pleases the bosses.
The 10 per cent discount is denounced
by the men as being only a genteel
form Of robbery, and the grievance is
to be taken to Washington in hope Of a
remedy.

On Minus Of Love.

washington, oct. Henry {.
Payne. postmaster general, was stand
inc at the open window OF his private
office late this afternoon talking to a
friend. when something darted out OF
the sky, brushed Mr. Payne's cheek
and fell in a heap on the floor. After
a moment OF startled surprise ne
picked up a painting and very tired
carrier pigeon. Around one OF the
birds legs was a tiny silver band,
engraved with the initials "F. }. I"
and a number "219." The other leg
carried tiny metal cylinder
Mr.. Payne gave the pigeon drink
from the engraved silver tankard re-
served for visitors Of prominence and
unfastened the little cylinder, think
ing that ne might be able to return the
valuable bird to its owner. The cyl
inder contained a tiny rolled sneet oil
thin paper, which the postmaster gen
eral spread on his knee, feeling, as
he expressed 1t, as II he had robbed
the aerial mail. Mr. Payne nearly fell
out of his chair wnen he read his own
Christian name at the head of the
sheet.
The note was dated Atlanta, Ga,
Friday, September 25," and was not
addressed or signed sufficiently for
purposes of Identification 1t read in
part as follows
my Darling Henry: | hope you
have shipped that crate of birds as
promised, for this is the last one OF
the dozen. | don't want to write to
you by the ordinary mail. 1t would
seem too Drosaic and modern, and
care, as you know, to think that ouT
love is not of the twentieth century
but stolen bit from the romantic
days of long ago. | love you, dear, but
If can not just whisper It to you and
send it through the air on what
choose to think are the very wings
of love, tnen I'll keep the secret tC
myself"
Mr.. Payne put the note back in the
cylinder and fastened it once more t
the carrier pigeons leg, There wa
something else in the note, but Mr.
Payne said that it was nobody's bus
mess but that of Darling Henry's."

Important Land Decision.

Chancellor Moody has decided an
important land suit involving a
large body of lands in the delta in
which Stewart, Gwynne & Co. Of
Memphis are suing the State of Mis-
sissippi through the land commits
sioner. The chancellor decides
against Stewart, Gwynne & Co., and
upholds the demurrer to the suit
which was filed by Acknowledgement
McClurg. 1t appears that Stewart,
Gwynne & Co. bought a lot of lands
through the State land office and
afterwards found that the title was
not good and that the State had no
right to sell them. They brought
suit under an act of the legislature
passed in 1900 for relief, but the
chancellor holds that the act of 1900
has been repealed and this leaves
the plaintiffs to seek some other rem

SOME ORIENTAL TALES.
Stories Related in Asia Minor tt
Illustrate the Stupidity of
the Arabs.

The Kurds in east Asia minor are
regarded by the Arabs as stupid peo-
pie, wont to make the sort of bull
that in the west is popularity ascribed
to Irishmen. There is a collection Of
stories which the Arabs tell about
them, of which these are fair ex-
amples, says the Youths Companions:
Once a detachment of Kurds was
crossing a stream, which was so mud
dy that they could not see their feet
under the water.
"We have lost our legs" they said,
and stood helpless, because without
legs they could not walk.
After a while the pasta came by.
what are you standing in that
water for?" he demanded.
"We have lost our legs and cannot
walk
The pasha got some of his attend
ants to apply thongs to the backs of
the legless Kurds, and of course they
jumped, thereby discovering their
legs again. Whereupon they all fell
upon their knees and thanked the
pasta for having restored their legs.
Once some Kurds were standing I'M

"Then let us measure it,"
"But we have no line long enough"
"Well we can a it with our
bodies. Let one hang by his hands
to the edge and another hang to his
feet, and so on until we know how
many men it takes to hang the whole
distance"
So they started to form a living
plumb-line. just as the last man was
climbing down, the top man tried to
change the position of his hands, and
they all fell and broke their legs.
"Oh, WELL" said one, when he came

With land at $40 per acre, the aver
age cost of producing an acre of trees
is about SIS. This includes taxes, La
Dor, trees, interest, and all incidentals.
II, at the end of eight years, all but
the permanent trees be removed,
about ITO to an acre will be left. Each
removed tree supplies two posts at ten
cents each, $40 trees, 1920 posts, or
over 500 per acre. This more than
covers the first cost. The plantation
has paid for itself, and the owner now
has a permanent grove, which, in the
twentieth year, gives $50 feet of lum-
Der to a tree, or $4,000 feet, which, at
$50 per 1000, equals $3.50. The in
creased and permanent value of the
land (from renewed growth from
stumps) is said to represent an eight
per cent. interest on $1,000. 1t looks

arises. Red oak natures somewhat
earlier, but is less valuable than white
oak, which requires 100 years, if al
ready started, to acquire the diameter
of 80 inches required for quarter-saw-
ing. Lumbermen consider that a pine
suitable for use must be $50 years old.
With soil and other conditions favor
able, a size for milling may be reached
by a yellow poplar in so or rs years.
A cypress tree has been growing since
Columbus landed in America and has
attained a diameter of four feet. The
pines are going rapidly, but few oaks
are left and the walnut has nearly dis
appeared.
No matter what misleading reports
are made, every thinking person must
acknowledge that the scarcity of trees
is the cause of the high price of lum-
Der. Arboriculturists realize that the
only way to secure wood for future
use is to plant trees in the place of
those which have been stripped away.
According to their various needs, man
ufacturers are demanding that differ
emit kinds of wood be cultivated. Fur
niture men desire chestnut, oak, wal
nut and birch. Railroad men those

are especially favored, for they own
the land, on either side of their lines.
on which more trees than they are able
to. use may be planted.
Whenever conditions arc c,ob os -
allow of its being grown, the catalpa
tree seems best fitted to solve this
problem. The entire trunk is avail
able for lumber, of which a tree 20
years old, and as many inches in di-
ameter, contains about $50 feet. It's
color is a fine shade of brown and it
will serve any purpose for which but
ternut or walnut are used. Its open
grain renders it readily adaptable to
receive any color of filling, so that
an imitation of most woods may be
easily mad rom it.
There are about 500, 000, 900 expended
annually in the renewal of 112,OO0,-

VII sourc are they to be obtained?
All sorts of metal ties have been tried,
but with our varied climatic conditions
and numberless curves they are not
satisfactory in this country. Again,
they cost about $4,000 per mile, while
those from our rapidly disappearing
oak may still be obtained for S $500.
The trouble in the artificial raising of
catalpa in the past has been over
crowding, causing them to be dwarfed
and lacking in vigor. The roots extend
laterally as far or farther than the
branches. If they are planted too
closely the wood growth must also be
restricted. The planting of trees
closely together, that the trunks may
shoot up tall and straight at the ex-
pense of the lower branches, while
right in the case of some trees, is dis
astrous to the catalpa. The lower part
being stunted, vigor to grow upward
is not sufficiently produced. The trees
are gnarled and knotty, with spaces
for the entrance of air, water and
hostile germs.
The catalpa speciosa, the species de-
sirable for cultivation, is found at its
best along the banks of the Wabash
and tributary streams. The trees
here grow SO far apart that roots and

w IHILE the United States has
wv been shivering for want of
coal this winter, the thoughts
Of many people have Travelled back to
the good old days" when the timber
lot furnished the wherewithal to com
bat the chill attendant upon visits of
Jack Frost. Not only was the farmer
benefited by the wood felled in his
forests, but the inhabitants of the
neighboring town clustered around
the sleds, each containing about a cord
of wood cut "cord wood length"
which, on certain days, were to be
found in the public square, on sale.
During the whole day bartering went
on, and when a load had been dis
charged, and the good dollars re-
ceived therefor invested in provi-
sions, the owner turned the heads of
his patient oxen homeward, thinking
his wood lot one of the most satisfac-
tory sources of income IN his "place."
All that is now changed. Forests have
been leveled and the timber stripped
from the small farms, so that their
owners are compelled to purchase coal
or cut the small growth which should
be allowed to develop.
The Alleghenies, denuded of their
natural covering, are a melancholy
example of forest waste. The trees are
fast disappearing from northern Mich
igan and Wisconsin. With their abb
sence have come changed climatic con
ditions. The demand for all sorts of
wood and timber has never before
been so great as now. Telephone, tele-
graph, electric light poles, railroad
ties, furniture, houses and the num-
berless and increasing needs of civ
~ilization are drafting toe heavily on
natural growths. Waste has been, per-
haps, a greater factor than all the
rest.
There is much discussion about
planting trees, and here the question
of quickest and best wood production
