LONGEVITY AND HUMAN AVOCA-
T/ONS.

How to live long and enjoy life Is a
problem OF perennial interest. Many
Of the alleged solutions are delusive
because they ignore one or the other
half OF the problem. They either aim
at longevity at the expense of joy or
secure joy at the cost of longevity.

An interesting series of tests under
taken by the forestry bureau of the
national government gives promise OF
results as valuable as that which this
body is doing in other directions, The
tests undertaken are with view to
demonstrating that many Of our So
called inferior varieties of woods are
as useful as those which have hereto
fore been cut in large quantities as
most valuable. The natural habit of
the lumDennan, when timber was
abundant, was to cut only those va
rieties recognized as the best species.
Yet it has been found that these in

lumbermen have been forced to cut
them, Such work as this, performed

The concert given on the evening of November in the Congregational church by talent from New York City, surpassed anything in a musical line given in Weston in many years. The violin selections by Miss Marion Caro and the soprano solos by Miss Stef1ins, both of whom were accompanied upon the piano by Mrs J. L. Shively, were exquisitely sweet and beautiful, and elicited the warmest applause. The recitations from James Whitcomb Riley, by A. Selma Martin, were most
 pathetically and cleverly rendered,
 while the sketch, "Gentieman Jim, " by MT Martin and Miss Fannie Robert son, both members of St George s Dramatic Club, carried the, audience
 by storm. Thanks are due to Rev and

 personal friendship to the artists, were enabled to give this musical treat to the people of Weston. They also en-
