family? And how will people like
Mrs. Astor, connected by blood and
marriage with parties on both sides of
long-continued feuds, continue the
strain of trying to keep themselves out
of hCStilities?
Of course there are rumors of peace
where there is no peace-of hurried
"makings-up" between Mrs. Wander
bilt, the dowager lady of Cornelius,
with young Mrs. Cornelius, who was a
Wilson and niece of Mrs. Aston. But
we have heard these stories before.
More real prospect of peace comes
from another direction.
1t remained for the Kemps, or rather
the ex-Kemps, to set an example which
may or may not lead to the white
doves of peace folding their weary
! wings for longer stay.
Mrs. Kemp was Baby Belle" Neil
son. Arthur Kemp was member Of
an old Philadelphia family, rather
quiet, as Philadelphia families fortu-
nately are. They were married in 1896,
divorced in 1902, and in 1903 are still
the best of friends. Not that they often
meet; that is arranged for them. But
not long ago in Newport they did meet
for half an hour or SO of chat as ami
cable as two friends can have. Both
are expected to remarry, Mr.. Kemp the
widow of Hugh Tevis, of California,
who is very wealthy; Mrs. Kemp a
young Boston clubman, himself di-
vorce.
Divorce under the circumstances is
all right or it isn't. In either case
why shouldn't the companions in a
business arrangement" or in a sin, as
the case may be, make the best of it
and be sociable?

HEALTH IS WELL GUARDED.
Substantial Progress I'm Sanitation
Is Being Made in These
Modern Times.

! People hear so much about health In.
stitutes nowadays that they are apt to
be little skeptical as to their efficiency
and to regard them largely as money.
making arrangements. In England al.
most all matters concerning the public
health are treated at Institutes, like the
British sanitary institute, for instance,
and every public man thinks it his duty
to patronize it, says the Boston Globe.
At late meeting of the institutes the
question was raised as to what had been
accomplished by these institutes, and it
was found that since public health be-
came science at the beginning of the
late" queens reign the average life of a
man has been increased by three years
and that of woman by five years.
That the doctors do know something
Is evidenced by the fact that 80 years
ago typhoid fever killed 374 people out
Of every 100000 in Great Britain. To-
day, with an enormously increased pop
ulation, it kills bare 100 per 100000
Typhus, which 60 years ago struck
down another 300 per 900 900, has beer
literally stamped out by sanitation. Sta.
ty council has saved 20, 900 lives, mostly
infants, since it's creation.
In the days of Good Queen Bess" the
death rate was so per 1000 per annum.
Deaths from fever have fallen by IS per
cent, typhoid by go, scarlet fever by 81
and consumption by IS per cent. From
1861 to 1865 scarlet fever killed 9S2 per-
sons per 100000; it now barely carries
off 100.
The death rate in consumption is also
declining. During 1876 death by con-
sumption claimed 2,526 persons yearly
out of every 100000 living. To-day
better acquaintance with the laws OF
health has cheated death of half the har-
vest of 1876 from this disease So that
the various Institutes of medicine and
sanitation do much good even If no more
than to induce better modes of living.

regarded as commercially inaccessible.
Norway and Sweden, which Go export
timber, are hardly able to supply the
deficiency of Germany. ALI other ma
tons requiring timber OF the sorts
grown in the northern hemisphere must
look to Canada for their supply.
M. Melard, inspector of forests in the
service of the French republic, in his
recent work on "The Insufficiency of
the Worlds Supply of Timber" says:
There are but seven countries at
present able to supply large quantities
of timber. Five are in Europe, namely,
Austria Hungary, Sweden, Norway, Fin
land and Russia; two are in North
America, namely, Canada and the United
States.
at has been shown that the available
surplus of Austria-Hungary, of Russia,
and of the United States is seriously
threatened by the increase of population
and by industrial development, and thai
of Norway by the abuse of the axe.
There remain only three sources of sup
ply in which confidence can be placed
for yet little time, These are Sweden,
Finland and Canada
''If Sweden, Finland and Canada were
to attempt to supply all the countries
| which reach out their hands for timber,
their normal production, and their for
ests too, would be disposed of completely
in very short time, revenue and capital
alike.
"a timber famine is thus within sight"
From what has been said it is evident
that the eyes of tt : world are turned to
Canada for the great future supply of
timber, and two questions suggest them
selves: first, what is the extent and
value of her timber; and second. we are
pursuing forest policy that will tend
to maintain this supply in the future?
Regarding the first, it has been esti-
mated that this country has an area Of
266 100000 acres of timbered land. This
is certainly too low an estimate, If taken
to represent the whole area of land on
| which any Lind of timber is growing;
but may safely be taken as embracing
the area covered by timber of merchant
able value, including pulp-wood. Put
ting the quantity growing on such land
at 1000 feet board measure per acre, we
have total quantity of $50 900, 900
feet now ready for use. Besides this We
have covering this same area an i'm
mense quantity which has not yet at
tanned a sufficient size for cutting. This

tries where regular system of cutting
has been practiced for num"er of

been established with great accuracy.

WOMEN IN HIGH POSITIONS.
Many Are Forging to the Front I'm
Various Lines of Business
and Labor.

One of the largest railroad corpora
lions in this country has decided that
the female stenographers in its employ
will not be allowed to qualify for pro-
motion, nor shall they be eligible for
its pension list. This is sweeping de-
cision, and probably represents senti-
ment other than that Of the corporation,
says the Baltimore American. Fifty
years ago no one imagined that woman
could be stenographer, and the idea
of their entering the ranks of men to
compete in heavier brain work would
have been regarded as ridiculous. 1t
cannot be said that they have conquered
every branch of endeavor, but they have
done wonders in the third of century,
and they may even dissipate the preju-
dice of this western railway corporation
before the half of the present century is
reached.
The reason for their exclusion may
come from the employees. The agrees
iveness of women has In a number of in
stances led to com binations of their fell
low male workers against them-a kind
of self-defense movement which can
scarcely be criticised severely, for the
women have pushed the men out of come
occupations which formerly belonged
to them exclusively. The majority of
clerical railroad positions can hardly be
said to be beyond the capacity of bright
brainy women; the management, how
ever, may have inferred that those sc.
lected for the higher Offices are often
drawn from those clerical departments.
and there have been notable instances OF
such cases.

none are more important than timber.

RECONCILIATION POSSIBLE.
Between Crown Princess of Saxony
and Her Husband.

Vienna, Jan. 5.-Reports have been
received here from sources closely con-
nected with the court of Saxony of
possible reconciliation between the
crown princess of Saxony and her
husband. The family of the crown
prince are especially concerned with
the future of the princess unborn
child, desiring it's birth to occur I'M
der conditions permitting of proper
Identification and to prevent possible
substitution, which, it is supposed the
princess might attempt if the crown
princess family attempted to claim
the child. The crown prince is report
ed as even now unwilling to abandon
the belief that the unborn child may
be his own.
While King George angrily insists
that his sons faithless wife be cast
adrift, it is understood that the crown
prince places no obstacles in the way
of reconciliation should mis- wife be
willing to come back. 1t is naturally
to be understood, according to report,
that it is impossible to permit the
princess to return to Saxony and be-
come queen, but the suggestion is
made that she reside in retirement
near the frontier, where she could
see her children occasionally.
No effort will be made to negotiate
with M Giron, who is regarded as a
raw student, but it is thought that the
princess might be induced to accept
the foregoing proposals on account of
her love for her children.
