Waste Of Timber in India.

There is a growing demand in In
dia for timber other than teak, OWNS
to the increase of factories and of Goa
mines, while there is also large
export. The Oldest form Of cultiva
ton practiced by the forest tribes o.
India was to burn a good patch Of
woodland, leaving all the trunks bare
and black, and then to sow among the
fertilizing ashes a miserable crop ol
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 $40 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.

EoSton's Rival,

In the course of an open-air poll.i-
cal meeting held at Boyertown some
time back a candidate for office en-
deavored to insinuate himself into che
good graces of the voters by means OF
a fulsome eulogy. After descanting
at length on the sturdy qualities of it's
citizens he turned his eloQuence to
the town itself.
Why" he exclaimed. "this Is the
center of the universe!"
How do YOU make that out?" inter
rupted an old resident who enjoyed
some distinction as student of geog-
raphy.

The PeStjferous Rat.

No place is sacred to the rat From
a sleeping man to an elephant there is
nothing which he will not eat. Rats
have eaten their way through a live
pig and bitten off the legs of living
birds. Some years ago the keepers or
the London Geological Gardens col ID
not understand what made the e,e-
feet. Investigation showed that at
night the rats came out and gnawed
off the thick skin growing about tle
nails on the monsters feet. Appar-
emily they must have fanced the horn
OF the rhinoceros, too, for regularly
the keepers ased to find flattened rats
where the rhinoceros had been lying.

LOSING THE POWER TO ACT

''Never put off to tomorrow what

Cheerful Woman.

1t is not great calamities that en-
bitter existence; It is the petty vexa-
tions, the small jealousies, the little
disapEointments, that make the heart
heavy and the temper sour. Don't let
them. Anger is a pure waste of
vitality. 1t helps nobody and hinders
everybody. No woman does her best
except when she is cheerful. A light
heart makes nimble hands, and keeps
the mind free and alert. No misfor.
tune is so great as one that sours the
temper.-Exchange.

Teach Us to Pray.

Lord, teach us how to pray
Oh, do Thou lead the way!
So rough the path sometimes, so dim and
steep,
So steep and dim where fall the shadows
deep.
With pcrils fraught when darking fogs
obscure.
Or will o'-wisps to deadly marsh allure.
When pales the cloudless splendor OF the
noon,
Or blackness robs the sky of guiding
moon,
Then teach us how to pray
And lead us into day.
Teach us for what to pray
Lord, do not let us stray
Afar from Thee! Teach us to choose llfe's
gold
Not dross; to know that pain and grief
blessing and peace. steadfast and
sweet;
Make blind eyes see, give strength to
stumbling feet,
Within the ashes of a dead self lies
\ nobler self To Thee our dead past
cries,
Teach us for what to pray

A CAT THAT HUNTS.

Well Trained.

Lester Kilgariff of Sausalto, Cal,
is the proprietor of a cat that in field
trials would probably win as many
medals as retriever of the canine
ia mily, says a San Francisco special
to the Cincinnati Enquirer. Lester is
about IL years old. Lester is not
magician. Neither is he from the old
world. He is just polite little fel-
low who has already learned how
much can be accomplished by kindli-
ness, patience and persistence. He
has been helped to train Minnie

PiETY AND DoUGHNUTS.

A baker in town near Boston has
asked for a license to sing in the
streets. He peddles doughnuts. and a
hymn goes with every one. Certainly
he ought to be allowed to sing as
much as he and his customers like.
For his object is to evangelize the com
munity. and when he is about to de-
liver a doughnut he delivers short
talk on the need of salvation and a
stanza of some uplifting verse. 1t
should go without saying that he is a
conscientious baker and gives full
weight and plenty of sugar: that he
does not fry his products in rancid
lard. or dust it with whitewash. or put
the fresh ones on top when he is to sell
them by the peck. leaving the gnarly
nubbins at the bottom of the measure.
Therefore he predisposes the recipent
to thankfulness and sanctity, and no
body on his beat has any objection TO
mixing dough and religion. 1t might
be well il the custom could extend it
self. If Mr.. Rockefeller would only
sing hymns as he draws oil for his
customers, instead of preserving the
hymns fer Sunday, and if Mr.. Carnegie
would accompany the hammering OF
plates with gleeful hallelujahs. there
might be less feeling against the
trusts, and if the walking delegate
would go about his work with psalm
instead of a jimmy and a blackjack
we could almost like him. If piety can
be associated with doughnuts, once the
symbol CT dyspepsia. what can't it as
sociate with?-Brooklyn Eagle.

Queer Use for Mercury.

The use Of mercury in the search
for a body in the canal at Brentford
this week is not altogether unprece-
dented. The advantage of mercury is
that it finds a lower level than any
other substance that could be employ
ed for weighing graphing irons, and
is of advantage in searching through
mud or sand into which body has
sunk beyond the reach of ordinary
dragging implements.-Pall Mall Ga

Bic Janerio and the Isthmus of Panama, and tells many interesting incidents of his trip.
 At Panama Mir. Coleman says prep arations are being put under way for the commencement of work on the big canal on a large scale by the first of June At present the old workings are being opened up and new machin- cry placed on the ground. On the Isthmus. says Mir. Coleman, are to be found at present nearly all of the large contractors of the United States. including the prominent firms who fig ured in the construction of the drain age canal in Chicago.
 While he was there a contractor ar rived from China and offered to fur nish coolie labor for work on the ca nal at the rate of 25 cents per day. and the laborers to furnish them selves. The contractor is at present in Washington. D. C., negotiating with the government.
 On the Isthmus there is much fever prevalent at present. It seems to permeate the ground. and strangers find it difficult to remain for long period at time
 Mir. Coleman is well known in this section of the territory, and has sold more plumbing supplies in Bisbee than any other two men who visit this section. On the return trip from Mexico he stopped at the City or Mex ico and closed contracts for his house aggregating more than a quarter of million dollars
