Waste of Timber in India.

There is a growing demand in In
dia for timber other than teak, owing
to the increase of factories and of coal
mines, while there Is also large
export. The Oldest form of cultiva.
ton practiced by the forest tribes OF
India was to burn good patch OF
woodland, leaving all the trunks bare
and black, and then to SOW among the
fertilizing ashes miserable crop OF
grain. This was done for two years.
by which time the Jungle plants grew
up and choked everything In this
way perhaps $4,000 worth OF timber
was killed to grow 500 worth of grain.
AS some of these tribes to this day
know no other way to grow corn, they
resent being interfered with and re-
venge themselves by arson and more
forests are destroyed.

WORRY WORSE THAN WORK.
Responsible for More Deaths Than
Disease or Famine.

Worry kills more people than does
disease or famine. 1t paints wrinkles
on your faces and draws lines OF care
on your brow. You worry because 1t
is cold, you worry because 1t is 100
wet, or too dry. You worry because
you have to work, or because you
have no work and you worry because
some one else does not have to work
You worry when you're rich, you
worry when you're poor, because some
one else is rich. You worry about
yourself and worry about your neigh
Dor and you worry about your God.
You worry for fear your new dress
will not fit. You worry because you
have no new dress and you worry be-
cause some one else has. You worry
about your minister's sermons and
about his family. You worry about
your children and you worry about
yourself. until you have grown cross.
irritable and impatient; until the
marks on your face evince the temper
within; until you have worried your
self into the grave.-Odessa Democrat

nothing which he will not eat. Rats
have eaten their way through live

not understand what made the e.e-

night the rats came out and gnawed
of the thick skin growing about tae
nails on the monsters feet. Appsr-

where the rhinoceros had been lying.
