Here and There.

The Democrat must ask for informa-
ton. 1t did not know, until the legisla-
ture, just at the point of adjournment,
placed bounty of - cents on ''porcu-
pines, so called, that the fretful animal
of the quilts was a serious foe to the
prosperity of the state. Since that act
numerous statements have appeared in
print regarding the damage done by the
said animals to the timber lands. These
statements have all agreed in a general
way that the damage is immense, and in
some instances tracts of land have been
named where the timber was nearly all
ruined by the hedgehogs. But we have
yet to see the first explanation of the
manner in which the ruin is accomplish
ed. 1t may be so simple question as
to be foolish, but how is it that the
'pOrcupineS, so called" damage the
timber lands?

Yes, cold as it has been the most o
the time during the month, some of tn,
trees are quite green to-day, April 80
and should the weather prove favorable
planting will soon be here.
To show the contrast in the seasons i
might be mentioned that 80 years OF
more ago there was a snow storm on thu

to be the finest sleigh ride he had en-
joyed during the winter.
But it is getting dry, the roads dusty
fires are getting unruly, so that a gentle
rain storm would be in order.

had the first blast of music died away
when Mr.. II. appeared at the window
and wanted to know what they were
making all that noise for, at the same
time threatening to prosecute every one
of them unless they left at once. And
they left, calling it fantastic fizzle.

Volcanic Functions.

Terrific as are the forces of volcanic
action, they have served and do yet
serve their ordained purpose in the
magnificent scheme of cosmic develop
ment. Volcanoes form natural vent
for the pent up internal forces result
ing from the slow cooling and CONSOLE
dalton of the earth's mass. They act
as the safety valves Of the world, with
out which the crust Of the earth would
in all probability burst with explosive
force and with resulting cataclysm
appalling to contemplate. Volcanoes
tend, in fact, 10 maintain the normal
stable equilibrium between the interior
and the outer surface Of the world

IF the public schools ever add to the

fine art the boys will take much
higher honors than the girls" lament
ed Il perplcXed teacher. Il used to
wonder why it was that all the en-
ployccs in florists establishment

the preference was due to their supe-
rior physical strength. but know now
that it Is because they have better
taste in the arrangement of flowers.
With all her supposed Inherent talent
in the matter of home adornment there
isn't one girl in thousand who can
