Six men are now examining public lands in California to determine what parts of them are suitable for national forest reserves, and similar studies will be made of lands for state reserves. A study will be made of all lands owned by the state in order to determine the uses to which they may best be put, who should administer them, and what sort of administration they should have. A forest map of California will be made, showing the location of all forest areas and distinguishing between the different kinds of forest In con- nection with the forest map will be a study of important trees in order to learn with exactness the commercial range Of the valuable species. An in vestigation will be made of the effects of numbering on the forest in order to determine what ought to be done to cut-over lands. It is of great impor- tance to know what happens to the land in different parts of the timbered regions after it is cut over by the lum- bernran-whether it comes up again in timber or whether it becomes waste land. t

THE GUEST OF THE WEASEL.

But in spite of every excuse that can be brought forward, the weasel's load of guilt was very black and very heavy, and he was probably dreaded by more of his neighbors than any other creature in the forest. It seemed as if there was no getting away from him, for he followed everywhere. The fate of certain red squirrel, one or the fleetest of his kind in all the Mich igan woods, is a good example of our hero's methods. The weasel chased him one day, and he scuITied away at the top of his speed, and soon 1eft hls pursuer out of sight Through the cedar swamp he went, over pine ridges
 down into the gullies and up agaln, now leaping over brook, now crossing a larger stream on a fallen tree, now scampering up a tall maple and out to the end of long branch, and now launching himself on the air, with his legs spread out like those of a hylng squirrel Down he came, and the in 'stant he touched the ground he was OH again, scattering the dry leaves 1n ms Night, and soaring partridge almost out of her wits. Last of all he rusneu into a hollow log and curled himself up in its farthest corner. surely ne was safe now. The enemy could never find him here, after all that running and turning and twisting and doubling. But the weasel had a nose, and It was good one, and he followed the spur reI's trail swiftly and unerringly. pas smannp and ridge and gully and brook and river, up into the tall maple, ana out upon the long branch. There ne lost the scent, but he easily guessed what had become of it, and he, too, leaped out into the air, and struck the ground within a few feet of the spot where the squirrel had landed. Back and forth he ran. this way and that. nosing the dry leaves, until he found the trail again, and a few seconds later his victim saw his fierce black eyes peering in at the end of the log. The squirrel was one of the sauciest and most impudent of all the woods people, but that sight was altogether too much for him. and his nerve for sock him completely. With scream of terror he collapsed. and lay there in trembling heap till the weasel came in and put an end to his career.-From

HOW FOREIGN CHILDREN LEAR

The foreign parents of East Saos lL children realize that kIoWledge-es- pectally knoledge of the language--is bower. In the class room, as on the street, the conflicting racial cnarac teristics of the children of different natiouaIities, the influence of beredity 1rorne-fffe and environment, are all strfkingly exemplif1ed. The teachers soon come to realize that the surest -way to spur the Jewish boys on to re newed efforts dn tlleir studies is 10 tell them constantly stories of the po- sitions of power and wealth which await boys who have the education to fill them, stories of other boys who have grown up to fill such positions. The dreamy, indolent Italian children can best be reached by an appeal to their love of pure scholarship, their appreciation of the artistic, of rhythm and music, of the beauty of form and color With nothing in their unlovely lives to awaken spark of artisuc creativeness, once given glimpse of artistic procedure in the modelling and drawing classes, they display that marvellous talent for crea ton which is their heritage of race, and which has out1ived the degradation of fifty gen. erations. All the children of the east side, especially the Hungarians, have a wonderful gift of language Every body's Magazine.

The greedy fangs of corruption ha

The greedy fangs of corruption have
 fastened themselves upon every
 branch of the postal service. MT
 Bristow's report gives substantial proof of shameless tratticking in offices,
 grating in almost every bureau, of bold and brazen defiance of all civil
 service rules, and of the damnably
 pernicious influence of party consider ations in the administration of one of
 the greatest departments of the gov
 ernment Thus writes a Washington
 correspondent. One of the results of
 the investigation is the discovery that nois and Iowa have been especially favored in the distribution of rural mail routes. As three of these are pivotal states in national elections, the
 reason of this favoritism is perfectly
 obvious. If MT Payne is really i'll, he cannot be blamed for it. A national scandal of this kind is enough to make anybody sick" In it's purely moral
 aspect, it bears a strikingly close re- l semblance to the Panama affair in
 France, which in it's course, besmirch- 1 ed the regulations of almost every
 leading politician. The postoff1ce de | partment has become absolutely rot l ten. Every branch of the service needs reform and lots of it. It is the presidents duty to leave nothing un- | done to bring every culprit to justice | The scandal is no longer a matter of lurking suspicion. It has advanced into the indestructible realm of facts
 This being the case, every political grafter, blood-sucker and briber should
 be hunted down and held up for pub lie condemnation. The national ad- l ministration, which happens to be re.
 publican, has reached the point where
 retreat is no longer possible. It must
 act fearlessly or take consequences
 Does the latest step look as though the
 people of the country are going to gel l the facts of this matter when the '.gag rule'' is applied to the officers oi l the department and no action taken ir
 the cases of men already indicted oi heinous offenses? The people vii
