THERE IS MONEY IN TREES
Land Planted to Them Pays an Av- craze of Ten to Twenty Dol
 lars Per Annum.

Fortunes in forests are possible iu more ways than the fairy tale manner of discovering them beneath tree. At Urbana, Ill.. is a 35-year-old plantation of European larch worth t61s per acre. another in Minnesota worth s471 per acre; North Dakota cottonwood plantation is worth s2s6 per acre, q South Dakota white willow plantation is worth S3s0 per acre. These exam, pies are not quoted as rare. but repre- sent many successful tree farms. Land planted to trees pays an average of ten dallars to s20 per annum for terms of years ranging from IA to 35. Few farms in these regions show a better return per acre for this period from their annual crops. The planting of forest crop offers a way for young men to lay by a competence for old age that is surer than pensions and an. nuities.

HELPLESS JEWS IN RUSSIA.
Are the Victims of the Most Brutal of the Lowest Class of
 Russians.

Discussing the condition of the Jews in Russia the New York Times says: "In such a social convulsion, the dregs of society are thrown to the top and become the scum. That is what is happening all over Russia. And the impulse of these brutes let loose, who find themselves freed, by whatever cause, from their customary fear of the police, is to attack first of all the most helpless of their neighbors, especially if these have anything of which they can be robbed. In Russia that class is the Jews. Under the official and the popular ban, disabled by law from pos sessing the means of self-defense, in every Russian town these unfortunates whether by the connivance or by the collapse of the usual agencies for the preservation of order, are left to the mercy of merciless mob. What fol- lows Is what was to be expected in such case. Massacre, arson, pillage, all the crimes to which race prejudice. in conjunction with mere greed, can urge an unrestrained assembly of riot CTS. Nowhere in human history has there been bloodier catalogue of woe. It is a vast calamity, which appeals to human sympathy as deeply and as tenderly as any such calamity can pos sibly do. More than that, 1t is a part of the price which Russia is paying for her transformation into a modern people, member of the family of civ ilized nations. These unhappy Jews are the sacrifice. They are bearing the burdens of crimes and blunders and stupidities which at all events are not theirs. And it is not a figure of speech to say that Humanity shud- ders" at the awfulness of the price. Il ]. It is the task of the whole civ ilized world to see that the transfor- nation of Russia to the political and social conditions of that world shall be managed with no human suffering in the process that can be avoided by human help. Perhaps we may say that 1t is especially the task of this country, which illustrates what it believes to be the most advanced of those condi- tions"

LAW OF SUPPLY AND DEMAND
Convincing Proof That There Are Exceptions to All Estab-
 lished Rules.

Young gentlemen" said the profes sor of economies, relates Puck, de. mand has tendency to advance price. But there are exceptions to all rules.
 For instance, let us say that the president of life insurance company needs a loan of s50.OO0. The current rate of interest is two per cent. The presidents tender conscience will not allow him to borrow from his own company at less than the current rate. But there happens to be another presi- dent of a corporation who wants to borrow s50,000 He also has tender conscience. Here is an increased de mand and we shall see that it becomes effective. For what happens? The president of Corporation A borrows 50,000 from Corporation B at one and one half per cent, and the president of Corporation B borrows from Cor poration A $50,000 at one and a half per cent. Again, here is man with watch which he would not sell for less than $250. One dark night he meets on lonely road footpad who demands that watch. The footpad holds a revolver to his head. This you will see makes it an effective demand. Does the price of the watch go up? On the contrary, the owner of that watch becomes anxious to part with it on any terms. That watch is no long er--to him-worth 30 cents.
 Possibly, you will observe a simi- larity in principle in these cases. At any rate, you will see that there are exceptions to most rules"

ON GAIT AND POSTURE.
Habit Is Everything in These Mat ters-one Should Zealously Work
 for Good Style.

Each persons gait is characteristic The hopeful woman has a hopeful, springy gait; the Respondent one, a dragging, Respondent walk. Ifyou want to find out persons peculiarities watch his walk. Is it strong and vigorous or weak and vacillating? Is it firm and de- cided or faltering and uncertain? As the walk is so is the character.
 The predominating characteristic of most women's walk is indecision. In youth this carries itself in a certain un- certain swaying of the body; in age. when accompanied with stoutness, it changes to the fateful and hateful wad- dle. Watch a number of women walk up a theater aisle out of dozen there will not me one whose walk in any way compares with the floating. gliding

method of locomotion which is the pop ular ideal of what a woman's walk should be.
 Aside from her character a woman's walk Is an index to her breeding. The girl who walks down the street swing ing her arms like pump handles may have the happiest disposition in the world. but little restraint exerted over her flying members would give the pass ers-by a more favorable impression of her bringing up and self-control.

Beauty of the Country Where Missionaries Have Just Met Death
 a the Hands of Fanatcal Chinese.

A new place has been marked on the map, and as people are getting familiar with the name Lienchow and reading of the terrible massacre there of American missionaries, they are won dering where the place is located and what manner of city it is. That 1t is in China they know, as the name in- dicates, but just where in the 4,225, ,000 square miles of territory comprised in thas vast empire they have but vague idea
 Lienchow lies about 300 miles to the northwest of Canton, in the province of Kwangtung, the district from which practically all the Chinamen in the United States come It is a city of some 10000 inhabitants, if you consid- CT only the population within the city proper. but if the populous suburbs ex- tending to the east and south are in cluded, as they properly should be, the figures will be nearer 50,000.
 Lienchow is peculiarly fortunate in its location, resting as 1t does by the side of the picturesque river of Lien chow, which winds its tortuous way to the southeast and at last joins the North river in its plunge almost due south to the great West river, few miles west of Canton.
 One would have to travel far and search long in China to find another city with as beautiful and attractive surroundings as those upon which the people of Lienchow look. A point of vantage from which to look upon the fertile plain as 1t sthretches west and north is at the base of the pagoda,

of clear sky. Of all places in China where American missionaries are la boring, Lienchow was the last place one considered as dangerous, for even during the Boxer troubles of 1900 the missionaries there were unmolested A writer who has studied the people considers them more docile than those of the lower districts, being more civil and appreciative than the myri- ads to the south. And it is to these people that the missionaries have been ministering. In the women's hospital there, Dr. Eleanor Chestnut, one of the murdered missionaries, had up to the time of her untimely death treated 5,479 patients since 1893, the year of her arrival upon the field During the years since the mission was estab- lished at this interior city by the Pres byterians quite a valuable property had been acquired, including as it did the hospitals, the residences of the missionaries, and the schools, mostly new buildings, which included a church just completed with a seating capacity of 700. All these buildings the Chinese mob burned after the murder of the five missionaries, Mrs. Machle, and her ten-year-old daughter, Amy, Dr. Eleanor Chestnut. and MT. and Mrs. Peale. Dr. Machle and Miss Pat terson managed to escape from the cave where they had all taken refuge and gained the house of the Yamen of the prefect, whose protection proved effectual

East Trains and Disaster.

The awful accident which befeI the twentieth centur-" limited train in the railroad yards as Mentor, Ohio, Wednesday night, will not increase the popularity of abnormally fast trains with the travelins public.
 A sustained speed of a mile a min ute for 800 milas is an experiment which both the Pennsylvania railroad and the New York Central Michigan Soushern system began a week ago. Prior to that time-twO vears or more ago-the Pennsylvania had abandoned it's 2O-hour train between Chicago and New York. because Of the great ex- pense and inconvenience attached to it's operation. It was possible to make the schedule. but the traffic of slower trains had to be subordinated to the ''hyer'' Tie New York Central con tinued to operate it's 20-hour train between the two cities however. and the twentieth century limited has for years been a favorite with travel CTS who were willing to pay extra charge for remarkable speed. A few weeks ago the Pennsylvania decided to experiment with an 1S-hOur train between Chicago and New York and special arrangements were made for trial run in each direction. The re- suit verified all expectations as to its success. Both trains were landed at their terminals promptly on time. The Vanderbilt system not to be outdone, made trial runs on the 1S-hour sched- uIe. wieh entire success. and then both roads announced the establishment of a regular schedule of IS hours.
 To make the time, including stops. it is necessary for the trains to trav- eI al the rate of more than a mile minute for most of the distance; in deed. for long stretches a speed of nearly one hundred miles an hour is accomplished. It is obvious that train flying through space at this rate must be smashed to spiinters if it leaves the track.
 The average American is credited with a desire to cover the greatest possible distance in the least possible time when travelling. but nobody in his senses will wish to fly over the rails if deadly peril is to be a necessary fea- ture To be sure, an open switch, as at Mentor, is calculated to wreck q train that is going at only ordinary speed. and the frightful catastrophe of Wednesday night might have hap pened to a train going at only forty miles an hour. but the public will as sociate the fact of the accident with a train which was moving on a sched- ule of seventy miles an hour.
 It was announced yesterday by the interested officials that the new time table of the twentieth century linn ited will not be abandoned because of the Mentor wreck. but in the end the railroads which have established these wonderfully fast trains between Chi cago and New York will be governed as to the speed of the trains by the attitude of the travelling public. The loss of 21 lives in the most horrible manner of which the human mind can conceive will be attributed by most people, certainly, to the phenomenal speed at which the train was going.
