Trees Becoming Scarce.

It is almost an instinct with des.
cendants of the earlier settler Of this
country that trees are to be got out
of the way so as to make land for
cultivation. Until recently there were
too many trees and clearing land was
one OF the hard, necessary tasks. Now
the condition is different but the old
feeling that there are always plenty
of trees fingers. and with It the notion
that a little extra labor in cutting and
hauling timber so as to preserve the
forest is sheer waste of time. But
the forests are disappearing in some
places where they are much needed
and they do not return for a long time
when they have been cut clean

TAKE BABIES TO THE POLLS.

in Their Arms.
When the various provinces of Aus.
tralia were federated into one com
monwealth and the federal franchise
was given to women the newspapers
were greatly concerned as to what
would become of the babies while
their mothers were out voting, says
the New York Tribune.
They never thought of how the
babies were getting on on the 1854
other days of the year." said Miss
Alice Henry OF Australia to the New
York Equal Suffrage Association, at
the Hotel Aston, but their possible
fate on that one day out of the 3G5
seemed to give them great concern.
But the matter settled itself very
simply. We found on the first day
when we enjoyed the federal fran.
chise, that there were plenty of WON.
en- politicians ready to stay with the
babies while their mothers went out
and voted. They were organized and
detailed for that very purpose. But
many of the mothers did not think II
necessary to avail themselves OF such
services, for there. was no law against
taking the babies to the polls. | my.
self saw perambulators going down
the streets by the dozen on election
day and some women actually marked
their ballots with their babies Growing
