NOTHING BUT TREES.
WOnderfu Woods of the Great North
west Extend to the Length
of Continent.

Nowhere else in the world is there
such forest as this. A few steps in
any direction from the roads of the
loggers bring one at once to the prime
val wood, writes Ray Stannard Baker
in "The Conquest of the Forest" in
Century.
Turn to the north. A thousand and
five hundred miles you may wander,
if you will, and never escape the inclos-
ing silences of this wood. Across the
British possessions, through endless
reaches of mountains, snow-capped, in
accessible, and onward to Alaska, moth
ing but trees and trees-cedar, fir,
hemlock. pine, spruce. Turn to the
south. For a thousand miles of Sier-
ia, through the heart of California,
where grows the sequoia, the monarch
among trees, to the very deserts of the
Mexican border, and you will find this
forest still covering all the hills, thick,
silent, and all but undisturbed. A con-
tinent long is this wood. facing the
Pacific, here 200 miles wide, from the
water's-edge across the heights of the
Cascades and the Sierra, there narrow
ing to a thin, struggling, yet persistent
growth along the mountain tops.
This tree before you, rising $50 feet
in air, straight and strong, thicl<-coat-
ed with brown bark, it's mighty base
setting firmly in the earth, its roots
gripping deep, was growing before
Columbus saw America. Five hundred
years has it been standing here, rails
ing its head to the sky. What storms
has it bent before; under what ages of
sunshine has it gained strength; what
lightning strokes have threatened it,
what sweeping fires! And still it
stands with the sublime majesty of
age and strength, fearful of nothing
and the sound of axes knocking in the
valley below!
But long before the seed of this
hoary giant was sown in the wind, for
ests were old on these hills. For $4,000
years and more have these mountains
been forest-clad, one forest rising 500
years from youth to maturity, sinking
away in ripe old age, and giving room
to another generation of trees. Deep
in the earth to-day lie some of these
ancient forests, changed by the slow
chemistry of the ages into coal, and
now at last beginning to give out for
men the sunshine which they stored
I'D centuries before the beginning of
history.

TRAGEDY OF TROUT STREAM.
Death of One Of It's Denizens In the
TaIOns of an Enemy of
the Air.

A big brown and white bird came
wings stretched far out to right and
left He flew slowly, for he was look
ing for some hing-something that he
wanted very much. He was doing the
family marketing. Up in the top of
a big pine tree, mile away, his wife
was sitting on a nest full of eggs, and
it was both his duty and his pleasure
to find a supper for her. Suddenly he
stopped short, writes w. d. Hubert, in
Leslie's Monthly. He had caught sight
of the thing for which he was search
ing-a dusly, shadowy shape with an
outline like that of a submarine tor
pedo boat, lying moveless in the clear
water. For just an instant he seemed
to hang poised in the air, but it was
only long enough to change the direc-
ton of his motion; then down he went
with a rush and a swoop.
The brook trout saw him coming and
tried to dart away. but it was too late.
With a mighty splash the osprey
struck the stream and went clear I'M
der and out of sight, while the water
boiled and surged over him. He could
not see for the commotion about him,
but his aim had been true, and his out
stretched feet touched a slippery,
Shiny, wriggling body that was just
beginning to gather Roadway.
Quicker than wink his toes closed
about. it and his sharp talons sank
deep into the trout's flesh. Then up he
came, rising out of the stream like
some tabled monster of old, and shak-
ing the water from his feathers in a
shower of flying drops. Every thread
of muscle in his wings and breast was
working with all its might to lift that
heavy trout. Up went the birds great
pinions till they were straight above
him; then down they came. flashing
the air like whips. Up again and
down, up and down, up and down.
harder and faster and fiercer; and lit
tie by little he and his victim rose
above the stream, till at last they were
clear of the treetops. Then straight
away to the nest in the old pine, where
the wife was waiting to make them
both welcome.

HAVANA HOTELS AND CAFES.
Anne ric cams Have Diffi Guilty in Getting
Food That Is Suited to
Their Taste.

Havana has half a dozen or more
hotels and yet an American has diff
Guilty in finding one 20 his taste, since
food is the chief consideration. There
are plenty of things to eat, too, but
for the most part they do not please
the American palate, and after several
days spent in one of the hotels the
tourist finds himself longing for some
simple dishes, says a Havana report in
the Chicago Daily News.
Most of the people who come to Ha-
vana from other parts of the island
are here on business, and these, in
stead of taking rooms at a hotel, be-
come the guests OF the people with
whom they have business dealings.
The exceptions are very wealthy plant
ers who prefer to go to hotels. In the
ployes sleep under the employers
roof, and there are usually number
of extra beds for out -of-town custom
ers; not only beds, but meals, too. In
this way the hotel registers show the
presence of very few visiting Cubans,
when in reality there may be great
many in the city.
The queerest in build of the hotels
is the Trotcha, situated in Vedado. 1t
is 20 minutes by electric car from the
heart of the town, but its remoteness
seems to add to its attractions. In
summerit is filled with people from the
city who wish to escape from the ex-
IRENE heat. All the year round it is
patronized by those who are glad to
get away from the crowded city. Some
transients go there, but not many.
Newly married couples find it a most
agreeable place at which to spend their
honeymoon. The young brides, ar
rayed in the most charming tea gowns
of airy materials, wander about among
the trees in the garden, utterly I'M
mindful of curious eyes. Some have
compared the shape of the interior of
the hotel to ship. The two tiers of
sleeping rooms are placed one above
the other, with narrow galleries run
ming about them; the upper tier is
reached by narrow spiral staircase.
No light enters the rooms excepting
lndI WHICH COUItS III OVER Tic dOOIS.
These doors reach little over halfway
to the ceiling. The building was the
alter number of years ago. The hotel
has not always paid as well as it does
now; it's prosperity dates from four
years ago, when the evacuation COM
mission made its headquarters there.
Havana is a city of cafes. There are
hundreds of them, of all classes, in all
parts of the town. 1t is strange, in
deed, if one passes block without see
ing one or more; passing strange if
two blocks are passed without encoun-
tering several. At all times of the day
there are men sitting at the tables.
At breakfast time, IL o'clock, there are
so many men seated there that one
wonders if any of the heads of fami-
lies eat at home. Homes and business
houses are crowded together, too.
Buckets of white agate AIRY the work
ingman's meals to him pr are taken by
him, and often entire families have
their meals brought in this way from
neighboring restaurants.
