Effects of Forests on Rivers.

At the recent meeting of the inter-
national navigation congress at Milan,
some interesting data were furnished
respecting the influence which the de-
struction of forests exerts on the dis
charge of rivers. A summary of seven
important papers read at the congress
shows that it was allowed by all the
authors Of these papers that the re-
moval of forests, especially in hilly
countries. has marked effect on the
water supply of the neighboring rivers.
Where deforestation has taken place
brooks have disappeared and small
rivers once furnishing power for mills
have ceased to be sufficient for this
purpose.-New York Herald.

after expatiating on the necessity of
preserving the forests he remarked to
some of the clerks in his department
that he did not consider the service
OF any woman worth more than $50
month. Mr.. Pinchot has heard quite
numerously from the fair sex since his
observations and among his CORE
spondents was the invincible Hetty
Green. Mr.. Pinchot has not divulged
all she said, but her letter conveyed
the impression that any man who
made such superficial statement was
not worth fifty cents a year to the
government or the nation. He has
received numerous scathing epistles
from other noted women.

Missionary:
Don't the conscience OF priests al

Christ dis;pproves or have they smoth-

themselves to be priests?
Don't the devil sometimes get priests
off the earth before they die? Or dc
you yet know?
ID" you claim that all Catholic people
will g" to heaven? DO you also teach
that no other than the Catholic will &c
to heaven?
Christ says ! will build MY church
and that it will stand as staadfast to-
day as ever. We are waiting fol
Christ's second coming for His church
to be established and of Christian,

expecting?
Has the priest amy more power tt

You priests claim that you can an
