The eloquent fact that the auction
sale Of the late William G. Whitney's
stud realized close to half a million
dollars, taken in connection with the
results Of the sales Of several other
notable stables Of late. serves to illus
trate the circumstances that the de-
mand for good horsefesh was never
greater than 1t is now, and that 1t has
rarely fetched better prices. We some
times hear the suggestion that the pas
sion for fine horseflesh is going out and
that the growing fancy for automo-
billing has hurt 1t. Nothing could be
farther from the truth. II any gem

ne1ghboring States had long been cut
ting successive crops of the hard woods
which sprout rapidly from the stump,
thus practictng more or less rudely
what the forester calls the pure cop
pice" method Of management. The su-
perior market for chestnut, combined
with its rapid growth, gave it, on the
whole, the leading place in the esteem
OF these wood-lot owners, who, by win
ter cutting, were able to turn to good
account time for which farm occupa-
tons gave no other employment,
Chestnut is not exacting In its soil
requirements. Its roots spread COM
paratively deep, so that it is not 40

Its stumps are 80 vigorous that one

sprouts. Not more than one in eight or
ten of these will mature, but by Sc

or OF the parent stump may be con.
centrated on them, to the great i'm.
provement Of their rate Of growth. Tho
observations made by the bureau have
proved that low stumps produce more
vigorous sprouts than high ones, and
that winter or spring cutting is fol.
lowed by better results than that done
In the summer or fall. Telephone poles
are grown, in Maryland, from healthy
stumps in from thirty-five to thirty
eight years. and ties may proftably be
cut In about twenty-nine years. Too
early cutting Of ties should be dis
couraged as wasteful in the long run
The practice Of permitting contractor,
to cut unrestrictedly for a given snm
is one which works much injury to the
permanent productiveness of tho
woods.

Good everyday common sense 10
sometimes handed down from tho
bench more effectively even than the
law. Judge Babcock, of Cleveland,
has supplied an instance, when In rem
dering decision he said: THE young
married couple that start life on an
income of $500, and proceed to live
as though 1t were $1,000, need not be
very farsighted to see a divorce at the
end Of their romance" All law has
been said to be but systematized COM
mon sense. But, unfortunately, all
common sense Is not law. The simple
truth 30 bluntly stated by this Judge
Is one Of the most important, but least
heeded, truths in human life. The
startling assertion was made the other
day by statistical authority in Geor-
gla that ne-tenths Of the young men
Of that State working on salaries were
in debt through higher living than
their salaries warrant. It Is to be
hoped the same proportion does not OBJ
tain in other sections Of the country.
1t makes brisk business for the mon
ey sharks" but is fatal to all others.
1t would seem to be the most easily
comprehended proposition In the world
that a young man or young couple
cannot successfully spend $40 a week
on a so income. Multiplying the fig
ures will not change the proportion or
lessen the danger. Ten dollars income
and so expenditure form the road to
success. Nine dollars income and $40
expenditure form the road to failure
The guidepost, plainly marked, at
which choice Is made between these
two roads, Is the most critical point
in young mans life. Perhaps all this
is platitude. 1t has been worn thread
bare by repeated assertions ever since
civilization began. The vital truth and
Importance Of 1t Is demonstrated every
day. But the fact remains that mil
lions give no heed. The happy homes
of the land where peace and prosperity
have their shrines are the homes
where frugality binds hearts together
in loving. hopeful sympathy. The dol.
lar In the bank Is good guard against
want, but only the common sense spirit
Of making both ends meet can guard
against that demon worse than want
worry, which wrecks the home. The
American people have a most unenvia-
bic reputation for bankruptcies and di-
vorces. The penny more spent than
the penny earned is perhaps the most
direct cause of both

ascertain that the demand far exceeds
the supply.

1t would be difficult for the Tsar to
draft law which would do so much
for the internal peace of Russia as has
been done by the birth of his son. The
direct line of succession is now as
sured, and the intirgues for favor with
the collateral heirs to the throne are
no longer attractive. The effect Of the
removal Of their obstructive plans from
the path of the Tsar ought soon to be
manifest In more harmonious govern
ment. The need of an heir to the
throne was not SO great in Italy as it
was In Russia. The problems Of the
Italian government are simple in COM
parison with the Russian problems.
Yet the birth Of son to the Italian
king and queen makes government
more stable In the peninsula by accus-
toming the people to the thought of
rule by the infant Prince Of Piedmont
as the successor Of his father. In Italy
and In Russia the mothers ''joy that
a man is born" is shared by the whole
people. Indeed, the birth Of the man
child in the royal families Of those
countries has increased the stability of
two thrones, and thereby made more
brilliant the prospect for continued Eu-
ropean peace. The Tsaritsa and the
Queen each had daughters, but neither
in Russia nor in Italy does a woman
succeed to the throne. The decree Of
1707, which still regulates the success
sion to the Russian crown, gives pref
erence to male over female heirs. Italy
Is still virtually under the Sandman
constitution Of 1S4S, which excludes fs-
males from the throne.
