German Forests.

Nearly one-fourth OF the surface OF
the entire German empire is covered
with forests, about $4,000 square
miles, more than one-si1th (3s,oo0
square miles) being occupied by what
the Germans call '.hochwald;" that ls,
forests of full-grown trees.
The area occupied by trees OF the
pine family is more than three times
az great as that occupied by all the
varities Of deciduous trees combined
OF the 5,65S,OO0 acres OF declduous
trees 1,172,OOO acres are oak, $4,000
acres are birch, alder and aspen and
4,019,00 acres are beech etc. OF the
1S,4s5. 900 acres OF needle-leafed trees
1891 900 acres are pine $4,000 acres
are larch, 5,4S2,OO0 accres are red fr,
and $4,000 acres are white hr.
About 21k per cent. Of tie "hoch-
valid" is owned by the crown, nearly
40 per ccent. by the State, Is per cent.
by municipal governments, and about
40 per cent by private persons.
The entire area devoted to forests
fs to-day nearly 100000 acros greater
than it was twenty years ago. Be-
tween 1888 and 1900 the decrease IN
the area Of forests Of deciduous trees
amounted to $4,000 acres, while the
gain in the extent Of the forests o1
pines. larches and frs was 100000
acres.

Wanted His Gun.

st. Louis, It seems, mas as much
trouble convicting it's criminals OF the
ptnky Blttz character as Kansas City
has. A Kansas City lawyer, while in
that city the other day, dropped in
on q friend who is judge and found
him holding court. A young man
whom everybody knew was criminal
was Being tried for alleged completely
In the holdup OF q Dutch groceryman.
In The robbery the Dutchman had
grappled with one Of the two robbers
and had wrested his gun from him.
The robbers escaped, but the store
keeper retained the revolver, and 1t
was offered in evidence at the trial.
The prisoner managed to fake up
q strong alibi and, although the
Dutchman p ositively identified him
as The smaller of the robbers, he was
acquitted. When the jury had deliv-
cred It's verdict the young man ap-
preached the bench and said: Judge,
can have my gun now" whats
that?" said the Judge sternly. The
young man realized his mistake and
ran out of the court room. The jury
was mad. "Cant We get him back
here and convict hIm?" asked the
foreman. No." replied the Judge,
'hes been acquitted, but I hope he
robs the home Of every one Of you

HONEST CONFESSION.
A Doctors Talk on Food.

There are no fairer set Of men on
earth than the doctors, and when they
find they have been in error they are
usually apt to make honest and manly
confession Of the fact. -,-'
A case in point is that Of an eminent
practitioner, one Of the good old school,
who lives in Texas. His plain, un-
vanished tale needs no dressing up:
II had always had an intense preju-
dice, which can now see was unwar-
rantable and unreasonable, against all
mueh1y advertised foods. Hence,
never read a lire Of the many ads
Of Grape-Nuts, nor tested the food
till last winter.
"While in Corpus Christi for my
health, and visiting my youngest son.
who has four Of the ruddiest, health
lest little boys I ever saw, 1 ate my
first dish Of Grape-Nuts food for sup
per with my little grandsons. I be-
came exceedingly fond Of it and have
eaten a package of it every week since,
and find it a delicious, refreshing and
strengthening food, leaving no i'll ef-
fects whatever, causing no eructations
with which I was formerly much
troubleO, no sense of fullness, nausea,
nor distress Of stomach in any way.
"There is no other food that agrees
with me so well, or sits as lightly or
pleasantly upon my stomach as this
does. I am stronger and more active
since I began the use Of Grape-Nuts
than I have been for ten years, and am
no longer troubled with nausea and in
digestion" Name given by Postum

Russia Expects Upheava| on

SITUATION is ALARMING
Volcano Of DIseontent In Empire

Ruthless Measures May Be
Only Safety.

A st. Petersburg special says: DO
velopments all point to a crisis ID
the present agitation among the work
men OF the cities and the peasants
in the country on May day. and ap-
peals are pouring in from all quar-
tiers OF Russia for military protectlon.
The st. Petersburg workmen are pre-
pairing a great demonstration. Arms
and bombs in large quantities have
been smuggled in and bloodshed ON
large scale is feared. Wealthy per-
sons who ordinarily go to the VII
lsges on the islands Of Nevo, or TO
neighboring country places, this year
are going abroad. The government
has taken few special measures 70
meet the situation, evidently relying
on the troops and police to guard the
capital. The latter are extremely &C.
tive. All the prominent agitators are
being arrested, or have already been
sent back to the villages from which
they originally came. The prisons are
filed to overfowing.
There have been fresh disputes be-
tween the workmen and the managers
of the Putiloff iron works, and be-
tween the employees and the manage
ment Of the government cartridge
factory. At the latter place the men
sre refusing to continue to donate any
portion Of their pay to assist in the
support Of families Of the soldiers at
the front, claiming that the money ts
used to prosecute the war to which
they are opposed.
The news received from the inte-
rior is alarming, especially from tho
Baltic provinces, where the entire
population is in q state Of intense
excitement. Tho cities are being
flooded with revolutionary proclama-
tions calling on the people to rise
on May day. The criminal classes arc
taking advantage Of the situation to
pillage and plunder, while in the
country, landlords are powerless to
cope with the peasants, and demand
the stationing Of troops at every sta
ton.
From Dunabarg, government OF W.
tebsk, come reports that the Jews
arc in q state Of panic over the cir
culstion Of .prociamations similar to
those which preceded the outbreaks at
Kishinef and Gomel. ...-.

W0rlQ. One man ana GOO-CQey are
absolutely unconquerable. Grasping
the tangled threads Of history, they
have tied them into one solid knot Of
divine purpose. And that purpose for
ever stands the pledge Of a better
world and a nobler race. Do you
wonder that even God can afford to
wait for such man? Then let your
wonder give away before this mighty
fact: God has to wait, so long as the
world remains constituted as it is, for
q man to come forward and say, "Here
am I-use me-" God answers back,
Il have to use you, because I haven't
anything else to use." When a man
comes out like that from the littleness
Of self into the largeness Of God, that
moment he stands forth in Gods uni
verse a thousandfold man! Chasing
a thousand becomes the business Of
his life. Chasing a thousand tempta-
tions, chasing a thousand sins, chasing
q thousand civic wrongs, chasing a
thousand socias evils! But does he
stop there? Never! Chasing a thou
sand lost men toward God, chasing
them into fellowship with Jesus Christ,
chasing them up from their haunts of
sin toward the splendor touched peaks
of a pure and radiant manhood! That
is the mission Of the thousandfold
man. And in these days the mission
is crying as with the lips Of God.
Where is the man?
Furthermore. if history teaches one
lesson it IS this-God has His waits
and pauses. And for what? Why,
for some man to lay hold Of His pur.
poses and carry them out. God has

A Lost Custom.

Among the lost customs Of merry
England is that of the milkmaids' pro-
cessiOn. 1t was a May day observ-
ance. The manner Of their going was
as follows: They borrowed a great
quantity Of silver plate-not sham
plate, real gold plate-dishes, butter
boats, cream jugs, tankards, etc. They
built up the plate round an Obellsk,
Crowning the whole with q tea urn.
They arranged the most snowy flowers
Of the season between and about the
silver.
This Obellsk was carried by two
chairmen in gold laced hats and fol-
lowed by a troop Of handsome milk,
maids dressed in pink and blue gowns,
drawn through the pocket holes, -
whatever that means, with high beeled
shoes, mob caps, lappets Of lace on
their shoulders, nOsegays in their bos-
oms and fat Wellington hats" COW

first in q sky blue coat and bat adorned
with ribbons. The procession stopped
before the doors Of the customers and
the milkmaids danced.-London Queen.
