SUGAR PINE LUMBER
FINDS BIG MARKET
CALIFORNIA FORESTS FURNISH
MUCH SOUGHT WOOD
Government Experts Find That When
Young Growth Is Properly Pro-
tected Timber Lands Yield Enor-
nous Profits

Few users Of wood know that on tn,
Pacific coast there is a vast quantity
OF lumber comparable in all essential
qualities with the best grades of white
pine ever produced in the east This
is furnished by the sugar pine, a tree
commonly found along the western
slopes of the Sierra Nevada noun
tains in California. Even when COM
pared with the giant big trees" with
which 1t often is found, the sugar pine
is not a puny tree, but frequently
reaches diameter of ten feet and a
height Of $50 feet. A single treeshas
been known to yield $4,000 board feet
of lumber, and threes smaller than
eighteen inches in diameter are seldom
cut at present. These facts make It
evident that sugar pine lumber, in
respect to the sizes furnished, is far
beyond the eastern white pine, even
the pumpkin pine of the early days.
The wood is scarcely distinguishable
from white pine. 1t is practically the
same weight and the same color. 1t u
somewhat resinous, however, and per-
haps a little brasher. 1t is soft
straight grained and easily worked
1t is used for everything for which
white pine is available, and is especial
ly valuable for pattern work. The
wood is already finding it's way into the
eastern markets, and, while 1t is not
at all likely that anything but the best
grades can be shipped long distances,
there is no doubt that sugar pine lum-
ber will more and more replace it's east
ern relative. There is no difficulty
whatever in furnishing plank up to
four feet in width and absolutely free
of any defect, at price that is low
for material of that quality.
The cut of sugar pine lumber in Cali
fornia has increased from 55,000,000
board feet in 1900 to 120,0O0,000 feet in
1904, and it is estimated that there are
25 900, 100000 feet of it still standing.
Sugar pine does not form extensive
forests by ITSELF as the white pine of
the east once did, but grows with west
erns yellow pine, white fir, incense cedar
and the "big trees" In Northern Cali
fornia it is found at attitudes between
1000 and 5000 feet above the sea- and in
Southern California at attitudes be-
tween 5000 and 10000 feet.
The tree produces a large quantity of
seeds, in cones that are twenty inches
long. The seeds are large and edible
and consequently are sought by squir-
rels and other animals. The Indians
also gather them to eat. On this ac-
count and because the seedlings are
easily killed during the first five years
by lack of moisture and proper shade,
the sugar pine does not reproduce it
self readily, but the lumber is so valu-
able that there is every reason why an
effort should be made to replace the

TUTORS FOR ALL
COLLEGE STUDENTS
NEW SYSTEM TO BE TRIED AT
PRINCETON
Naughty Seniors and the DIgnified
Juniors viii BE Taught by Closer
Contact With Professors Of the
University

From the Baltimore American.
President Woodrow Wilson of Prince
ton has written an article which ap-
peared in recent issue of the Daily
Princetonlan, the college newspaper, In
which he explains for the students the
Workings Of the new tutorial system of
instruction which is to be introduced
at Princeton university next fall. The
article says in substance that there will
be fewer lectures and fewer class room
exercises in the various courses, in or
der to make way for personal confer
ence between the student and the in
Etructor. The present staff Of the uni
versity will take an active part in this
conference work, and 1t will be the
chief business of the gentlemen who are
TO be added to the faculty, so that the
The whole aspect of instruction will be
materially altered. The students will be
met by their instructors either singly
or in groups. When groups are formed
they will be made up of men who are

preliminary training, the same capacity
for work and the same tastes and apti-
tudes in what they undertake. Those
who cannot be thus classified or who
stand in any special need of individual
assistance will be met singly and as
sisted in the way best suited to them.
Preceptor as Guide
1t is expected that each undergraduate
will be assigned, for the work of the
department which he chooses, to some
one preceptor who will be his guide in
all the reading and work of the depart
ment, so that the course may be drawn
together, so far as he is concerned,
into a single body and studied as a re-
lated group, rather than singly and sep
arately under different masters. 1t is
hoped that in this way the student may
be relieved from constant drill in those
subjects which he carries most easily
and in which he needs little assistance,
and will be supplied with the best pos
which come harder to him and in which
the stimulation OF direct contact with
trained scholars is of vital consequence
to him. The preceptors will not set the
examinations, and will, therefore, be
more free to cover the subjects broadly
in their dealings with their pupils.
There will naturally be good deal
of written work connected with this
sort of instruction. The students will
be frequently called on to submit brief
reports Of one kind or another to their
preceptors, very much as they do now
in the various thesis courses, though
more informally; and it is expected
that all of this written work will be
judged of with regard to the English
in which it is written, as well as in
respect of its subject matter, so that

HATPIN HEADACHES
Picturesque Head Gear Responsible for
Much Unnecessary Suffering

Several peculiar cases of headaches
among women patients of a young
West Philadelphia doctor have been
discovered by him to be due to hatpins.
II was baffied for long time" he
says, by a patient who was an invet-
crate trolley rider, and I attributed the
malady to the strong wind to which
she subjected herself during such
rides. She persisted in the riding, how
ever, so 1 set my wits to work, and
when she told me that once when her
hat had blown off and she had had to
tie It on, she had stopped the headache.

oUR GROWING LIBRARIES
Facts That show What Mr.. Carnegie
Has Done

From Harper's Weekly
The federal commissioner of educa
tion has published some interesting Ii
brary statistics showing that in 100
the number Of books in public societl
and school libraries was 54,419,OOO. Th,
number represented an Increase of 81
per cent In twenty-eight years, an In
crease largely due to Andrew Carnegie
to whom upwards of a thousand IL
braries In the United States owe theil
existence wholly or in part. The mum
ber Of volumes in 1900 was 44,591 ,OOO
The largest collection of books in the
United States is the congressional IL
brary, which contains 100000 volumes
including pamphlets, next to which
comes Harvard university, which con-
tains 100000 bound volumes and 3500O(
pamphlets. The Boston public library
figures in the third place, the aggregate
number of its books and pamphlets be-
ing 772,0O0. The New York public Ii
brary, which will comprehend the AS
tor, Lennox and Tilden foundations,
has 100000 volumes and 100000 pamph-
let's. To appreciate, however, the IA
oilities for reading afforded in New
York, we should mention that the New
York city library has 100000 volumes,
together with large number of pamph-
let's; that the library of Columbia uni
versity has nearly 100000 volumes and
$4,000 pamphlets, and the mercantile Ii
brary 262,OOO volumes, including pamph-
let's.
The Philadelphia Library company
owns 201, 900 volumes and $1,000 pamph-
let's, and the number of books and
pamphlets In the Philadelphia free IL
brary is 100000. The Chicago public IL
brary has 258,OOO books and pamphlets
and in the library of the Chicago uni
versity there are $4,000 books and 150,-
900 pamphlets. All of the last mem
toned statistics refer to 1900. In the
same year the Bbliotheque Nationale
at Paris had 100000 books and pamph-
let's. The British Museum 100000, the
Imperial library at st. Petersburg 1,500,
900, and the Royal library at Berlin
1 100000. 1t appears that the number
of American publications in 1902 was
1888; of British publications in the same
year, 1881; of italian publications in
1900, 1915; of French publications in
1902, 1919; of German publications in
the same year, 26.9O6.

the men will have constant drill in the
correct use Of the English language
and in the development Of their power
to express IDEAS
The General Theory
The general theory of the system is
that college work ought to be radi-
calIy different in method from school
work; that the men ought not to be all
lowed to get the impression that they
are merely getting up tasks, learning
the lectures and ideas Of particular in
structors, or mastering textbooks. but
should feel that they are reading up
great subjects for their own sake. In
order to enable them to do this read
ing intelligently they will be directed
by their preceptors to the books which
will best acquaint them with the chief
matters involved Nn their several
studies. The lectures will not be so
much the subject matter Of their
study as incidental aids to the study
ing they are doing. The object of the
lecturer will naturally be to give the
greatest possible amount of stimula-
tion and to expound the more difficult
and the more interesting portion of
the subject in hand.
"Such a system" says President
Wilson, fought certainly to give the
student greater feeling of independ-
ence and the distinct impression that
he is handling himself not as a pupil
merely, but of his own initiative, though
under competent guides and in inti-
mate association with scholarly teach
ers, who serve him not only for guild
ance, but for stimulation of the best
kind"

MONKEY WOULDN'T DRINK
Namesake of Carrie Nation Refused
Dose Of Whisky

From the New York World.
Emulation of the example of her IL
lustrious namesake, utterly refusing to
touch liquor in any form, even for med
icinal purposes, may cost the life OF
Carrie Nation" who is pining away
from homesickness and illness.
With her head buried on the breast of
Cassie Chadwick" hidden away from
the gaze of the public in a little house
in Brookside park, Carrie Nation"
would accept but little nourishment
and her death may occur at any time.
Carrie Nation is one of the colony
of eight monkeys which arrived at
Brookside park from New York Thurs
now, the monkeys seem to realize the
impending gloom and their chattering
has almost ceased.
Custodian Huff consulted monkey
expert in the city and the advice he
received was: "Give her a little
liquor" but Carrie refused absolutely.
She was willing to take liniment in
milk, but she would not let whisky
pass her lips.
Yesterday she semed better, but
would not leave her little house, where
Cassie Chadwick" tenderly looked
after her. The monkeys take turn
about in staying with her.
The other monkeys are all well and
doing nicely in their new quarters.
They have been named Hoosier, Hank,

Lived 4s Years In Frontier House

Mrs. r. A. Howard of Clear Lake,
Ia, has lived in one house for forty
eight years. When her husband brought
her to Iowa a bride of the spring Of
1857 he built a home for her with
native timber, supplemented by finished
lumber from Austin, MINI. The stair
way was made of black walnut, cut
from the forest surrounding the home.
The house has stood substantially as
it was built for forty-eight years, and
all that time Mrs. Howard has oocu-
pied it. Her husband was killed In
