Cheerfulness is a duty one owes to
oneself as we'll as to ones neighbors,
for nothing so units one for the or
binary duties of life or so quickly
brings on premature old age as a mo-
rose temper, says the Brooklyn Eagle.
There are plenty of artificial aids to
cheerfulness within the reach of every
one who has real or imaginary cause
for Ill humor or congenital tendency
to surliness. When things don't go
right or your liver is guilty Of neglect
of duty strive Systematically to achieve
good humor by repeating over and
over the best funny stories or bits Of
humorous poetry you know. If con-
scientiously administered this prescrip-
ton is an infallible remedy for the
most acute fit of blue devils. If you
doubt it just try the experiment.

same relation to it that heaven did"
Wilson Farrand, headmaster OF the

the aspersion on his. own State, so he
told this:
"Once there was a Brooklyn man
who crossed the Jordan. When he ar
rived on the further shore he looked
around supercilliously, and, after pro-
longed staring, remarked, II don't see
that heaven is so much better than

UNDERGROUND Waters.

The earth contains an abundance or
water, even in places like some OF our
great western plateaus where the sur
face is comparatively arid. The great
est depth at which underground water
can exist is estimated to be about six
miles. Below that, it is believed, the
cavities and pores of the rock are COM
pletely closed The amount Of water
in the earth's crust Is reckoned at
nearly q third Of that contained in the
oceans, so that it would cover the
whole surface of the globe to a depth
of from 5000 to $500 feet. The waters
underground flow horizontally after
sinking below the unsaturated zone Of
the rocks, but in the sands Of the Da-
kota formation, which supply remark
able artesian wells, the motion does
not exceed one or two miles a year.
The underflow toward the sea beneath
the great plains may sometimes take
the form Of broad streams or moving
sheets of water, but the movement is
excessively slow.-Youth's Companion.

TIMBER WEALTH OF FAR WEST.
Where the Heart of the American
Timber Belt Is Now.


In the United States the heart OF
the lumber belt has moved westward.
At the beginning Of the last century
almost the entire wood supply came
from the then untouched forests or
the Penobscot River region OF Maine.
As the woodsmen cut deep into the
heart Of the wood the industry was
forced to find other fields from
which to draw it's supply, and the v1r-
gin forests of the South and OF the
States bordering on the Great Lakes
were cut into. Although these re-
gions are by no means depleted TO-
day, the Pacific coast is rapidly be-
coming the heart Of the lumber trade.
And what wonder, for in the three
States of California, Oregon and
Washington, there is at least one
third of the entire supply of standing
timber in the United States. In ng'
ures, it amounts to more than 6OO,OOO,'
OOO, 900 feet of uncut wood.
The forest reserves and national
parks set apart by the United States
government within the limits OF these
three states aggregate an area or 81,
42S square miles or more than y per
cent. of the total wooded area of the
states. In the State Of Oregon alone,
where a careful examination has been
made, the national census officials
have estimated the standing timber
on these reservations at $4,000 900, OOo
feet, or one-fourth. Of the States total
supply.-Review Of Reviews.
