"Old Growth" Pine.
pm the Evening Transcript

From the Evening Transcript.
The disappearance OF what IS known as
the odd growth" pine of this country has
saddened the heart of many a lover of our
forests, and while these monarchs of the
woods are not of the size and stature OF
the giant redwoods of California. they are
none the less an interesting feature Of our
sylvia. There ought to be some steps taken
FOR the preservation of these old trees,
which bear as important a relation to our
forests of the east as do the big trees to
California forestry.
one of the few remaining tracts in this
country has just been explored by O party
from Amherst, Mass, and IS situated on
Plsgah mountain. Just across the Connecti-
cut river from Believes Falls, on the Hins-
dale, n. H, side. Several of these trees
have attained the height of $50 feet and
their trunks are limbless from fifty ia
eighty feet from the ground These prlm.
eval white pines are declared by scientists
to be more than 1000 years old, and are
still in healthy condition.
II the state of New Hampshire cannot
secure this tract for forest reserve the
government ought to do so. With trees oil
later growth intelligent forestry can be
conserved by reforestation after intelligent
cutting. In this case the destruction OF
the 'old growth pine would mean a dis
tfnct loss to the state. Such trees ought &c
be preserved, because their very antiquity
entities them to respect.

LONELY LONDON BACHELORS.
Forlorn One-Room Existences in the
West End and the Life There


The somewhat lonely life led by Admiral
Sir Arthur Cochrane, X. c. B.. whose sud
den death at Charles street. ST. James.
was the subject of a corOner's inquest, re-
Gently. draws attention to many such soil
tary eXistences.
The district contained within the limits
of the Haymarket Piccadllly, Pail Mall
and st. James street is practically monop-
olZed by houses let out in rooms TO retired
naval and military men and civil servants,
all bachelors. who have settled down to
spend the evening of their lives within the
four walls of their respective clubs. They
sleep in the lodging houses which prac-
tiCally usurp the quadrilateral of St. James
and they get their breakfast there per-
haps and that is all The rest of, their
time they spend in their clubs.
1t must not be supposed that these rooms
are especially cheap. None are to be had
under twenty-five shillings a week; the
average price is thirty shilings. For that
one obtains a plainly furnished bedroom at
the top of the house, scrupulously clean,
but without undue adornmsnt. The at
tendance Is included; it is usually good,
provided the tenant eases matters by &C.
casional tips to the valet who keeps his
wardrobe In order and brings him his
bath in the morning. Lights are also in
Guided and at night the transient lodger
who returns to the house at II O'Clock will
see in serried rows the candlesticks OF the
habitues awaiting their return from the
clubs.
In the halls of many of these houses,
also. one may see packed away in a corner
dusty piles Of hat boxes-the property of
young officers scattered all over the globe
in quarters where silk hats are not de
rigueur.
THESE lodging houses" said the secre-
tary of large West End club, serve a
useful purpose but they are not places to
be Ill in. The rules of most clubs make 1t
impossible for members who practically live
in them to take a bed room permanently in
the club building, and these lodging houses
supply the want.
For my part 1 could not tolerate the
loneliness. But you will find old gentlemen
so welded to their clubs that they think
nothing of the few hours they spend In
bed In their lodgings. They will stay up
through the long vacation, though they
have plenty of invitations into the country,
rather than leave their clubs"

Crop Bulletin.

For the week ending July 10, 1905.
Des Moines, Iowa. The daily average
temperature of the past week was 4 to
8 degrees below normal, and the rain
fall was somewhat in excess Of present
needs. Conditions were more favorable
for field work the latter half of the
week, and some progress has been made,
in cultivating late planted corn, and in
haymaking and cutting winter wheat,
rye, barley and early oats. There has
been considerable damage to clover
that was cut the preceding week; but
there is large acreage yet to be cut,
and, with fair weather, full average
hay crop will be harvested. In the
southern districts harvesting early oats
and fall rye and wheat is in progress.
There are but few reports of damage to
wheat and oats by rust. Except on low,
wet soils the general condition of the
corn crop is fairly good. In respect to
height, stand and cleanliness, tits bet
ter than the condition reported on the
corresponding date last year. All the
minor field crops are doing very well.
In the southern section the apple crop
is very poor, especially late keeping
varieties

There is something fundamentally
wrong in the idea that only one half
of life is a success. and that the first
half with its ignorance and mistakes.
If the years beyond 81 are not golden
1t Is because the former years have not
been successful If man feeds not on
angel food II is because he cultivated
the thistle In his youth. We may
seem to lose some things. physical and
even mental. but remember the law Of
the conservation of forces. Some things
we have been dragging with us too
long already; the cunning OF the pam
Their. the greed of the swine, the van
ity of the peacock, ought to be among
the cast-off things Of the old man. II
the spiritual life is conserved not a
fragment will be lost; and our years,
as golden links. will make life richer
and in the end bring us to their great
brother-eternity.
