The Forest Congress.

,es< sy..- A0e 6V1eSt SOAEAe0os
"Never before in this country, nor,
30 far as / know, in any other coun-
try, has a body of men representing
such great and varied interests come
together to discuss, temporarily and
-foresightedly, the policy and the meth
DDS under which the highest perma-
nent usefulness of the forest can De
maintained" So said Secretary WI"
son in welcoming the delegates to the
American forest congress, which gath
cred recently in Washington. Secre-
tary Wilson's statement emphasized
the scope and importance OF the con-
gress; 1t also summarized the pur'
poses of the gathering. Were there no
conflicting interests in the country
there would be no forestry problem;
but, naturally, the lumberman's aim
is to harvest all the timber he can
in the shortest time; that OF the mine
owner to cut the props for the ROOF OF
his mine in the nearest place; OF the
sheep-herder to put the largest pos
sible flock on the range; the railroad
must have ties; and over against all
of these interests are the farmers and
manufacturers, who cannot live un'
less the sources Of the water supply
are protected. The really significant
thing about the congress, then, says
Youths Companion, was its effort tc
bring all these conflicting interests to-
gether, and decide upon plans which
will eventually be for the interest OF
all. What helps one helps every other.
The delegates included senator's and
representatives, editors of lumber and
other trade journals, members OF the
geological survey, the National 1rri'
cation association, lumbermen, stock
raisers, turpentine farmers. railroad
officers, pulp manufacturers, profess
sional foresters, boards Of trade, and
many others, both friends Of the forest
and reputed enemies of it. The main
object Of the friends of the forest may
be said to be to demonstrate the fact
that greater returns can be secured by
conservative handling than by promis.
cuous cutting. The old idea Of the
forest was that it was a legacy-a
windfall, to be enjoyed in the spend.
ing. The new idea is that it is in.
vested capital, the interest Of which,
If We handle it Alright, will support our:
selves and our children, without the
necessity of touching the principal.

PRIEST AIDS IN WAR.
BUDDHIST PRELATE TELLS OF
HIS EXPERIENCES.
Right Reverend shaku soyen Says
Actual Fighting Is the Acme
of Brutality and Reck-
1essness.

Tokio.-Rt. Rev. Shauku Soyen, Lord
Abbot of Egakuji. Kamakura, one of the
most prominent Buddhist prelates of
Japan, the Buddhist delegate to the
Parliament of Religions at Chicago in
1893, has been with the Japanese army
in the field. He was present at the
battle of Nanshan Hill, and has just
published his impressions of that
memorable struggle. His opinion on
war is interesting, as that of a repre-
sentative of the Zen sect, one of the
strictest and most orthodox OF Japan.
The following is quoted from 6 trans
lation of his opinion:
"War is an evil, and a great one,
indeed. But war against evils must
be unflinchingly prosecuted till we at
tain the final aim. In the present hos
tilities in which Japan has entered
with great reluctance, she pursues no
egotistic purpose, but seeks the sub
jugation of evils hostile to civilization,
peace and enlightenment. She DELHI
Grated long before she took up arms,
as she was we'll aware of the magni-
tude and gravity of the undertaking.
But the firm conviction of the justice
of her cause has endowed her with an
indomitable courage, and she is deter
mined to carry the struggle to the Bit
ter end. Here is the price We must
pay for our ideals-a price paid in
streams of blood and by the sacrifice
of many thousands of living bodies.
However determined may be our reso-
luton to crush evils, our hearts trem-
BILE at the sight of this appalling
scene.'
How much dearer is the price still
going to be-" he asks. what enor-
nous losses are we going to suffer
through the evil thoughts of our en-
envy, not to speak of the many in
juries which our poor enemy himself
will have to endure! All these miser-
able soldiers, individually harmless
and innocent of the present war, are
doomed to a death not only unnatural,
but even inhuman! Indeed, were it
not for the doctrine of love taught by

900, persons, and this showed an increase
over the year before. Many young
men have come to the United States
from Finland since the edict providing
for the drafting of Firms into the Rus
sian army for a term of years. This
edict has probably affected the entire
populace more than any other. Aside
from this the hand of Russia is felt more
particularly in official circles.
The salvation Of the Firms in the
United States has been that they have
not crowded about the great cities and
centers of population, but have quick
ly found their sphere of labor, and
have gone to work. Great numbers OF
them have taken up farms in the north
west and are making success OF them.
Mr. Edwards declares that there is more
energy and ambition displayed among
the Firms of the United States than in
the motherland. He also says that there
is tendency of the people toward self
improvement.

the Buddha, which should elevate
every individual creature to the realm
Of a pure spirituality, we would. in the
face of the terrible calamities that
now befall us, be left to utter destruc-
ton and without any consolation
whatever. Were it not for the belief
that the bloom of truly spiritual light
will, out of these mutilated, disfigured
and decomposing corpses, return with
renewed splendo:, we would not be
able to stand these heartrending tribu-
lations even for a moment. Were it
not for the consolation that these sac
riices are not brought for an egotistic
purpose, but are an inevitable step
toward the final realization of enlight-
eminent, how could I, poor mortal, bear
these experiences of a hell let loose on
earth? The body is but vessel for
something greater than itself. Indi-
viduality is but husk containing
something more permanent Let us,
then, though not without losing ten
derness of heart, bravely confront our
ordeal"
AS to his purpose in going through
the campaign at the front, Rt. Rev.
Shaku Soyen says: II came here with
a double purpose. wished to have
my faith tested by going through the
greatest horrors of my life, but l also
wished to inspire, if could, our
valiant soldiers with the ennobling
thoughts of the Buddha, so as to en-
able them to lie on the battlefield
with the confidence that the task in
which they are engaged is great and
noble. I wished to convince them of
the truths that this war is not a. mere
slaughter of their fellow beings, but
that they are combating an evil, and
that at the same time, corporal an
Inhalation rarely means rebirth of
soul, not in heaven, indeed, but here
among ourselves. I believe I did my
best to impress these ideas upon the
soldiers hearts"
AS to the actual fighting, the prelate
says: 1T beggars description! Verify,
it is the acme of brutality and reck-
lessness conceived in this world"

ed the correspondent. "have made
many statements regarding the events
concerning that massacre"
II know; l have read accounts in
the foreign press. have stood
aghast at the frightful stories of the
butchery of innocent people which
they have printed. I know they say
well-intentioned patriots with priest
at their head coming peacefully to
place their grievances before his ma
jesty were ruthlessly shot down in
the streets; but we know that behind
this peaceful procession was an an
archistic and socialistic plot of which
the overwhelming majority of the
workmen were merely innocent TOOLS
We know from examination of the
dead and those arrested that some al
legged priests were actually revolu-
tionary agitators and students in dis
guise. We had to save the city from
q mob. Unfortunately, to do so inno-
cent and guilty suffered alike. But
suppose 100000 men had reached the
gates of the winter palace; they would
have sacked it as the mob sacked YER
sailles. From the palace they would
have gone elsewhere, and the whole
city would have been delivered over
to anarchy, riot, bloodshed and flames.
Our duty was the duty of every gov
eminent. The same situation has con-
fronted cities in other countries"

NEW ORLEANS WINE CELLAR
Fine After Dinner Tale That Lacked
the Element Of Geographical
Experience.

great wealth, was at dinner few nights

brand and vintage Of rare wine without
seeing the bottle or label, says a Wash

"Oh," she replied, II was born in New
Orleans, you know, and was raised there.
When was a slip of a girl my father used
to take me down into his great wine cellar
under the house and show me the dusty
bottles. He taught me all about wines
down in those gloomy caves"
After the dinner the hostess said to her
husband: wasn't it interesting to hear
Mrs. So-and-So tell about her fathers wine
cellars?" T.:
Great" cried the brutal husband.
Absolutely great. 1t was simply fine.
You know, there isn't cellar in New

sixth birthday souvenir. When Mr.
Aldrich selected the historical display
which should represent Iowa among the

position he fondly hoped that he might

idea that the highest prize would come
as birthday memento. That is exactly
what happened. The Iowa historical dis
play has been adjudged the best at the

and a Clear Complexion.
Every sensible woman naturally wishes
toappear attractive. She knows the value
Of bright eyes, delicate complexion and
lively spirits. She knows also that
good health is at the basis of her charms,
and that good blood is the source of good
health.
Miss Mamie Conway has a complexion
which is the admiration of all who know
her. Asked if she could make any sug-
gestions that would be helpful to others
less fortunate, she said:
my complexion would not have
pleased you, if you had seen it two years
ago. 1t was then about as bad as it
could be, and it gave me great deal of
dissatisfaction. If you want a good
complexion you must take care Of your
health, especially Of the condition of
your blood. My health was at that time
completely broken down. Twas nervous,
had frequent headaches, torpid live,
and great deal Of pain in that region,
I suffered also from indigestion. It wa'
clear that my blood was in bad condition,
for pimples broke out all over my face.'
cit is hard to realize that, for there
ism It the slightest trace of such blem-
ishes now"
cit was unfortunately quite other
wise then, and long time passed before
I found anything that gave mo any re-
lief I became very weak and istless.
The doctors medicine did me no good,
aud I took number OF highly recon-
mended tonics with no better result.
AS soon, however, as began to use DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People my
complexion cleared up, and after had
taken two boxes there was not sign Of
a pimple left on my face My cheeks
became rosy, I gained flesh and have had
perfect health ever SINCE"

and so on down. These platforms are
about four feet wide and are placed on
a suitable number of trucks running
on tracks, these tracks being propelled
by electric motors, the power being
furnished by third rail. A person,
to reach the pavilion, must step from
one platform to another, and as the
different platforms can be run at vari-
Gus speeds, or even in opposite direc-
tions, the journey would be sure to be
euticing. This device could also be
built in an elliptical form, but If so
built it would have to be made up into
sections. BY placing any number of
standards at suitable distances apart,
the passage from one platform to an
other could be made less hazardous
