As to Growing old.
Boston Herald.

Boston Herald.
 A foreign writer undertakes to answer the question as to whether 1t is sad to grow old. and treats the subject most fe- licitously. He says the art of grwwing old is difieu1t one, but he asks if the understanding how to be young is not difficult also. a question that will readily find an affirmative answer. It Is the same with the possession of wealth. Da the rich know how to be rich? Mven as to health, the secret of graciously bear ing health is as difficult to acquire as that of carrying off gracefully illness. Yet nothing can be finer than a plaeid and amiable old age. This writer remarks that ''one of the most beautiful things in the world Is an old person who. made pAtter by experience. more induigent. more charitable, loves manlind in spite of its wretchedness, and adores youth without the slightest tendency to mimic 1t. Such a person is like an old Stradivartis. whose tone has become so sweet that its value Is increased hundredfold, and 1t seems almost to have soul" This "adoring youth without the slightest tendency to mimic it. Is fine touch indeed.
 Every woman takes lot of satisfaction in the thought that she would be . terrible nirt f she didn't have such high ideals.

Use for the Bible.

 New York Times.
 Senator Fairbanks of Indiana, who is being spoken of as a possible Republican candidate for the Presidency, has some reputation as an after dinner talker. His speeches are a mosaic of anecdotes and quaint sayings picked up in political cam paigns. Not long ago he told of visiting one of his constituents. He was ush- cred into the parlor. and the daughter Of the house. aged 5, promptly hopped on to his knee. He smeothed her curIs, admired her doll. and evidently gained her confidence. By way of habit and entertainment. she took up the illustrated family Bible to show him the pictures. What nice little girl you are" said the Senator.
 That's what my Sunday School teach CT says" was the reply.
 Your Bible is used often. It hasn't a speok of dust on it." returned the states man.

 gagged in the battle of which the first hos of Pennsylvania Railroad employees ap- piled to the poles of the Western Union Telegraph Company. The falling t the poles in Pennsylvania and New Jersey was heard around the railroad world The ! blows were not aimed at the telegraph company. but at the Gould railroad sys- tenn.
 President Robert c. Clowry of the West ern Union Telegraph Company, said yes- terday that he had prepared for the emer- genoy, and that the service of the cor poration had not been interrupted. Be- hind all, however, was heard by the ini- tiated listener the beginning of the war fare which will stir the railroad world to It's centr.
 Behind the present conflict stands Am drew Carnegie, who has changed the rail road maps of the world as we'll as dotting 1t with library buildings. When he was actively engaged in the manufacture of steel Mir. Carnegie had a fight with the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. He be- lieved that 1t was costing him too much to ship his finished goods over that line. and he theatened to parallel the railroad lines.
 Carnegie Knew Gould's Ambition. At that time he knew that George Gould wanted to bring his Wabash Rail- road to an Atlantic port, and the result of several conferences between MT. Car negie and MT. Gould was a contract by which the former agreed that the Car negie Steel Company should give 1,50o, ,O0C tons annually of freight to the Wabash in consideration of it's building into Pitts burg. The United States Steel Corpora tion, which absorbed the Carnegie Steel Company, now has that contract to fill. When the National Tube Company threatened his supremacy MT. Carnegie made plans to start a rival tube plant,
 and that made it necessary for Mr. J.
 Pierpont Morgan to buy out MT. Carne-
 gie at tremendous price and form the | Steel Trust.
 Then George Gould determined to seek an alliance with John D. Rockefeller, the richest mar in the country. and invited
 him into the Missouri Pacific, which has
 since had a phenomenal rise and has gone
 on a permanent dividend-paying basis. The new alliance placed Gould with the
 Union Pacific and Southern Pacific Rail- l roads. tassgs 4sTg
 Threatens the Pennsylvania.
 He made a close trafac arrangement
 with the Central Pacific, which gave him an entrance into San Francisco from Og- den. Then he tuned his attention toward
 reaching the Atlantic, and pushed on from
 Toledo to Pittsburg. He Is now engaged | in building a cutoff line from Jewett, | O., to the Smoky City by which many miles will be saved.

LUMBER SUPPLY.
ProdisaI Use Americans Make Of Tins

Weeks Progress 1t Is not strange
that trees were once objects Of worship,
and forests considered holy places. Trees
are benefactors in more ways than one.
commercially valuable, they have still
greater value for climate, and are by
no means negligible as satisfaction to
the esthetic nature. One thing is certain,
countries that have laid sacrilegious hand
on their trees have been cursed with
Grabbed age and barrenness.
In speaking of our prodigal use Of conf
erous timber and the possible end Of the
supply, the Milwaukee Sentinel says: "Tha
latest estimate was an incidental feature
of paper read by T. B. Walker of Min
neapolis at the recent meeting Of the
American Forestry association, from
which the Mississippi Valley Lumberman
takes figures for interesting comparisons.
Mr. Walker finds that the country still
has a lumber supply amounting to some-
thing over thousand billions Of feet.
Figuring on a 90 per cent. annual in.
crease In the cut, he concludes that the
thousand and three billions in the country
at large will last twenty-five years, but
he makes no allowance for the growth Of
timber in that length of time, and at the
end of the quarter century statisticians
doubtless will still be figuring on the rap.
idly approaching end
But the end is coming, nevertheless,
and in time exceedingly short in com-
parlson with the probable life of the ma
ton. Each succeeding estimate takes into
account smaller timber than was meas.
ured in the last and every tree large
enough to make a scantllng is now in
cluded That is the explanation Of the
level maintained in the supply as shown
by estimates many years apart. Mr..
Walkers estimate for the northwestern
states includes. in fact is necessarily al
most exclusively made up Of, trees which
sstimators of thirty years ago considered
wortheless. His date for the end may
have to be set back few years, but not
n great many.
