CHINESE CARPENTERS.

Naturally preeminent among the

penter still maintains the leadership.
Though almost invaribly welded to
the use of the tools of his ancestors
and to their methods. judged by re-
suits he is more efficient in his line
than are the average of the foreign
trained filters and machinists in
theirs. though constant dimunition
of the difference is in progress.
In judging the performance Of the
native workmen it is almost impossi-
bic to avoid the popular bias that adj
diction to their own methods and
tools invariably bespeaks fatuous
conservatism. Though this is in
many cases true 1t will often be
found ON careful observation that
what has passed for a stubborn blind
ness to the virtue of innovation is In
reality keener PERCEPTION of com
parative merits than the Judge him
self was aware. This Is particularly
true of Chinese carpenters. While
most of their commonest tools differ
in some radical way from our own It
is never safe to assume the superior
ity of the western product Their
small ak, for example. is beautifully
balanced tool. and they are remark
ably adept in the use Of it, being able
to work as true a surface Herewith
as can be obtained with an adxe in
the hands of the white man. On heavy
work 1t Is customary for two to new
together on opposite sides, striking
alternate blows. Both hands are used
and the recover IL over the shoulder,
alternate right and left. There is a
freedom of swing with an accuracy of
delivery that LIS treat to watcn, and
the rapidity of the blows is almost be-
wildering.

TIMBER WASTE BY FIRE.
Need of Scientific Forestry in the
United States is Very Great.

A forest fire is a terrific thing to
fight when it once gets fair start
Often it is practically beyond human
control not long after it's destructive
work begins. And it is a prodigious
waster of the natural resources of the
United States Probably no other
country suffers so much from fires in
forests, says the Cleveland Leader.
Ii the timber of America could be
saved from damage and destruction
by fire the day of the exhaustion OF
the forest wealth with which this re-
public was wonderfully endowed
would be indefinitely postponed. Fires
not only ruin trees ready for use,
but kill millions of young saplings.
They prevent reforesting in many
wide areas which have been denuded
Of their original timber.
The tragic news from northern
Michigan and neighboring districts in
Wisconsin is a grimly Impressive re.
minder of the havoc and peril of for
est fires. The story is old. 1t has
been told over and over in the United
States. Many thousand lives have
been cut short, in the aggregate, by
fires in the woods. Uncounted mill
lions of dollars worth of extremely
useful property has gone up in smoke.
The nations resources have been
wasted.
There is room for vast improve
ment in the guarding and care of
American forests 1t is possible to
prevent many fires which would be
terribly destructive if permitted to
get well started. Others can be put
out while still small enough to con-
troll. The whole wide field of for
estry is open for progress which will
mean much to the United States.

ANOTHER RESULT OF RAILROAD
RATE BILL.
Of WIDE INFLUENCE
Land Agents and Homeseekers viii
be Affected by One of Its Provi
sions-Agents Will Receive no
Passes and Passengers Must Pay
Full Fare.

The new railroad rate law, which
becomes effective the first of the
year, no doubt affects land agents
who have been conducting homeseek
ers' excursions to the southwest,
northwest and Canada. 1t has been
the custom of the railroads to grant
these agents passes similar to those
given employees. There is no doubt
that this is prohibited by the new
law, and there is considerable spec
ulation as to what course the railroad
companies will pursue in the future.
AS yet no order has been received
at the Offices of the railroads in this
city, but no doubt there will be some
special orders covering this point
soon. The plan which presents it.
self as the most feasible is to make
the land agents employees of the
roads. 1t is specifically provided in
the law that before any person can
receive pass he must be on the pay
roll of the company. If the agents
are on the pay roll they will clearly
come within the meaning of the law
as employees.
At present the railroads designate
certain date as homeseekers' days and
upon those days excursion tickets are
sold. Only homeseekers are supposed
to take advantage of these rates, but
of course, the company is dependent
to certain extent upon the represel-
tations of the parties themselves. or
the agents conducting the excursions
In some cases the privileges granted
by the companies have been abused
but generally the plan has worked
satisfactorily.
The new law will unquestionably
put many of the agents dealing In
southern, northwestern and Canadian
lands at serious disadvantage. 1t
is certain that the company will never
put all such agents upon its pay roll
and the proposition will resolve itself
to survival of the fittest. Probably
only the most responsible and best
business men will be chosen.
1t is hardly possible that the rail.
roads will abolish the present system
of providing transportation for agents
and cease encouraging the homeseek
ers' excursions altogether. The rail
road companies are directly benefited
by the movements of people from one
part of the country to another, such
as has obtained in Texas, and this
has given rise to the assumption that
they will place their land agents upon
the company pay roll.

as there are different kinds Of per
sons. The kind of nome that one
possesses is largely determined by
one means. That is to say, the ricn
man viii provide himself with a rich
ly conducted house. The man of mod
crate means will have a house less
deliberately built, furnished, and con-
Quoted. The poor man must. do the
best he can. and that often will be
poorly enough. Now, it Is obvious
that the home which win be satis-
factory to one of these groups win
not be satisfactory to any other. The
rich man, who is accustomed to the
daily luxury of his own house. would
not know how to live in a poor way

The poor man for his part, would
be equally lost amid the luxury of
the rich man, and the man in moier-
ate circumstances will be as much
dissatisfied with the home of the
poor as with the home of the rich.
But the abiding place of each is a
home. Each fails when measured by
the standard of the others. This es-
sential fact is apt to be overlooked
by those who find 1t their duty to en-.
large on the homelike qutlities of Ger.
tain homes and their absence from
others. It is serious mistake to
deny homelike qualities to expensive
dwellings.
