Menace of the Forest.
m the NATIONAL Magazine.

From the National Magazine.
The climatic history of the old world will
repeat Itself in America. If forest destruc-
ton, at it's present rate of recklessness,
should continue much longer. our continent
will have to dry up. So will an orator who
should venture to urge that fact upon a
Doodle legislature, in this era of lumber
trusts. But the fact remains. and its sig
nificance may be inferred from the expe
r1ence of the Mediterranean coast lands.
where thousands of god-gardens have been
turned into Gehennas of wretchedness and
desolation. By tree destruction alone a ter
ritory of 100000 square. miles has been
withdrawn from the habitable area of our
planet. The physical history of the eastern
hemisphere is the history of a desert
that originated somewhere near the cradle
of the Caucasian race-in Bactria. perhaps,
and, spreading westward and southwark.
has blighted the Edens Of three continents
like devouring fire and is now scorching
the west coast of Africa. and sending it's
warning sand clouds far out to seaward.

BARRIERS MUST BE cIEANLY.
Rules to Reduce Danger Of ,Contagion
While Being Shaved.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
In New York city the board of health has
Just issued orders which preYsde for strin-
gent regulations Of all BARRIERS to go into
effect at the beginning Of next month. Ten
years ago such regulations would have
been laughed at, but 80 much has been
learned about the manner in which dis
ease may be spread that the authorities
consider that they are acting in behalf Of
public safety well as Of private COM
fort for the shaved. Here are the speci-
fications, which ought to be Of general in
terest:
~ BARRIERS must wash their hands tho
roughly with soap and hot water before at
tending any person.
ca No alum or other astringent shall be
used in stick form. If used at all to stop
the flow of blood it must be applied in
powder form.
90 The use Of powder puffs is prohibited.
a. No towel shall be used for more than
one person without being washed.
90 The use Of sponges Is prohibited.
90 Mugs and shaving brushes shall be
thoroughly washed after use on each per-
son.
90 Combs. razors. clippers and scissors
shall be thoroughly cleansed by dipping in
boiling water or other germicide after every
separate use thereof.
90 No barber. unless he is a licensed
physician. shall prescribe for any skin
90 Floors must be swept clean or mopped
every day, and all furniture and wood
work kept free from dust.
Q0) Hot and cold water must be pro-
vided.
QD A copy Of these resolutions is to be
hung in conspicuous place in each shop.
Customers are also advised to have their
own brushes, combs, etc
Now most Of the above rules are COM
piled with in every well conducted "ton-
serial establishment" but 1t Is evident that
such course Is not universal or the rules
would not be necessary The rules are
sensible. and II they were put in general
effect in this city much good would result.
There are those who think that the govern
ment Is becoming entirely too paternal. On
the contrary, 1T seems likely that regula-
lions in behalf of the general welfare are
to become stricter.
Anything that helps toward cleanliness
and state OF health is fitting and should
be employed The man who cannot shave
himself ought to have the assurance that
he Is to be treated in perfectly antiseptic
manner at the hands of the ''artists" of
the razor.

What q Cool Summer Does.
From the Philadelphia Record.

well-known business man said yester.
day that the ordinary observer did not stop
to consider what a cool summer meant to
the entire business community. Said heS
1T affects everything that depends upon
trade for life. 1 have no doubt that the
present slump in stocks is due in part to the
cool summer which has made the crops so
uncertain. Let start with the farmer.
He has had poor luck with his corn, melons
sell summer clothing and all kinds of sea-
sonable wear have hardly paid expenses
every seashore resort has been running
light and will lose heavily unless August
pulls them out. This means so much money
lost from circulation and all the mechan.
ical trades and industries must suffer. OF
course, no one is to blame, and the only
thing to do is to live and let live until 4
real hot summer comes to push things
along again"

Etiquette on the Links.

GIuck In n Frenzy.

When Gluck composed his immortal
works. a bottle of champagne was al
ways placed on either side of the piano,
and its effervescence helped to inspire
tie great arias of 'Iphigenia," "Armi-
da" and "Alceste." When the final re-
hearsals were held of the "Iphigenia,"
Gluck had not yet written the melody
to the Dance of the Scythians." Ma
verre, the ballet master, becoming IN
easy over the delay, went to him one
morning to urge him to hurry it up
AS ne entered the composers anteroom
he heard unusual and terrific noises
emanating from Gluck's library. He
approached stealthily and through 4
crack in the door saw Gluck in shirt
sleeves, his face as red as fire and dis
torted by horrible grimaces, singing,
gesticulating and jumping about like Il
madman. Naverre, frightened by the
extraordinary spectacle, pushed the
door open. "Ah, there you are" ex-
claimed Gluck. 81 am just finishing
your dance and will let you have it
right away" 1t was then that Gluck
had composed that grand orgy of the
savages which created such profound
sensation on the stage.

SliYeca In POtafnes.

In peeling potatoes it is often OBJ
served that the outer flesh of the tuber
contains brown slivers extending from
the surface inward to the depth of
about one-eighth of an inch. These sliv-
ers do no harm except to slightly injure
the appearance Of the cooked potato.
Usually their location is indicated ex-
ternally by a minute puncture in the
skin. In some cases each silver Us sur
mounted by pronounced elevation,
and tubers so affected are called PIN
ply potatoes.
The slivers and accompanying PIN
pies are caused by minute white
worms, the larvR of the common flea
beetle, which bore into the tubers while
they are growing. Naturally slivers
are most common In potatoes in locali-
ties where flea beetles are most abun-
dant 1t is likewise plain that to pre-
vent the appearance Of slivers in the
tubers it is necessary to prevent flea
beetles from attacking the tops. This is
best accomplished by spraying the
plants very thoroughly with bordeaux
mixture containing paris green at the
rate ct about twelve ounces to fifty gal
Ions Ci bordeaux. The same treatment
prevents blight and the ravages of po-
tato bugs-F. G. Stewart in American

Korean Schools,

In Korean schools the master is
dressed in white, generally wears spec
tacles and always has a rod in order
that the child may not be spoiled. He
gathers his flock around him in the
most fatherly manner and deals out
justice with an unsparing hand. The
scholars are dressed in their best, but
must study without their shoes. These
latter are kept in sight of the master
at all times. The course of study is not
very extensive to look at, but when it
comes to studying the Korean language
through the medium of Chinese it must
be confessed that the beginning of a
course is difficult. The scholar is first
taught the name and meaning of Chi
nese characters and then their meaning
in Korean, just as though he were
obliged to learn English through the
medium of the Greek alphabet. Stu
dents keep up a steady droning noise
as each one goes on repeating his por-
ton of the tasks aloud, regardless of
what is going on round him.

Tons Of Food For the Atlantic.

in the Springfield Republican says: AT

pursue the unwilling stomach in every
corner of the place; food tasted. vast
ed, thrown away. There is one port
hole on the steerage deck, from the
galley apparently, which belches it
forth in continuous stream-half
loves of bread, great remnants of meat:
we have left trail of it across the At
lantic. If some one would only esti-
mate the tons of wasted food which
are annually thrown into the Atlantic
or could calculate how much cheaper
these steamship companies could give
self respecting fare for this gilded glut-
tony, it would certainly be interesting
and worth while
