millions of feet Of lumber which are
cut from the forests every year 10 be
manufactured into everything, from a

ernment has taken up seriously the
subject of the deforestatiOn OF the
country and attempted to enforce. in
a small way at least, the replacing OF
some portion Of the trees with new
paintings which shall serve future gen
erations. In continental Europe nearly
every country has passed through this
stage and reached the period In its
history where the forests are as well
cared for as are the fOrtifications and
other government interests. A small
army patrols the wooded areas. and
only certain portions Of the forests
can be cut each year.

NERVE SAVED STEVE BRoDiE.
Charley Mitchell Thought Better OF
intended Chastsement.


. The presence in New York of Mltch'
ell. once boxing champion OF England
recalls an incident in the strenuous
career of the late steve" Brodie,
who jumped from the Brooklyn bridge
nearly score of years ago TO glory
prcsperity and hstrionic fame. Brodie
visited London in the early nlnetles,
where Mitchell, playing the part OF
.ciccrone one night introduced the
Bowery boy at the Spooferies CLUB
resort for prize fighters, horse Jockles'
and their kind, where the festivities
are seldom concluded before daylight
and the police have more than once
been called upon to restrain merri'
Ment.
In The course OF a general conversa'
tion the English fighter happened 10
make some adverse comment upon the
then mighty John l.. Sullivan, which
called forth a sarcastic remark from
Brodie with reference to Mitchells
abilities as a sprinter while in the ring
with the American champion.
With an oath the Englishman gave
the smaller man a push that sent him
reeling ten feet backward, and then
pushed upon him to administer correc-
tion for the others temerity. Brodie
was due for a fearful bruising, but the
Bowery boy was equal to the occasion.
He was erect on his feet with pistol
in his hand when the prize fghter
reached him. Putting the weapon un'
der the others nose, he remarked
calmly:
You t'lnk you're goin' to make
reputation off lickin' Steve Brodie,
don't yer? Well, you just hit me once
and .here1l be a lot in the papers
abort It, but you won't read It,
Frlly appreciating the inutility OF
pos:-mortem notoriety, Mitchell ex'
planned that he was only Joking, and
the incident was closed.-New York

When the crystal dew reposes
On the mignonette and roses,
Is the Joy with which | greet thee, my

sadness TO the heart,
Thus discordant gloom rejoices
And these grim nocturnal voices
Touch the chord of melancholy as the mo

Neither dawn nor yet the nightfsll make
the total of life's day,
Not the eastern sun ascending
Nor the west with daylight ending,
But the minutes in between them as they
speed themselves away.
Not the greeting nor the farewell tell what
friendships love doth mean,
Not the hsndclasp with its gladness,
Not the goodby with ia sadness,
Not tse meeting nor the parting, but the
life that lies between.
Friendship binds two lives together though
broad seas between them roll,
,Tis no vanishing emotion,
Not fancy or a notion,
Friendships threads are interviewer in the
fabric OF the soul.
