FORESTRY NOTES.
Conducted by Ladies Literary Club.
Birch Bark.

Rostou, May 18th.
Editor Forest and Stream.
Ou- of the loveliest of our trees is
the white birch with its graceful foliage
aud cleaning trunk; aud yet how often
it is robbed OF half IFS beauty 10y care
less hands,
The temptation to take off strip after
strip of its easily peeled bark seems well
nigh irres,ir7re if one NAV Judge 10y the
countless forlorn trunks along our road
sides. Instead of silvery, white col
umns standing out with conspicuous
grace from the green of neighborine
shrubs aud trees, the trunks are. marred
, by great black circles, the results of
wounds inflicted 10y wanton passers by.
Too often this is done merely for the
fun of seeing how easily the bark can
he pulled off, and as no thought is given
to to the feelings of the owner when he
| finds that one of his finest trees, in
which he took great pride, has been
robbed forever of its beauty.
The next time you are tempted to
cut off birch bark, stop.
Think Of the injury to the tree, and
the injury to all who shall pass that
way after you, in depriving them OF
something they might have enjoyed hut
for you, the sight OF that tree in all it,
beauty. Remember that the bark never
grows again.
If you have in mind the making OF
some article for which birch bark is az
absolute (') necessity, can you not al
least take it from some fallen log OF
from some tree well hidden~in the cell
ter of the woods, removing only the
outer layers, aud those i'll such way
that the tree will suffer as little Al
possible? BY doing this you will earn
the gratitude of all wayfarers and land
| owners. Miss NJ. f. Carter.

Girls: Go to college, but not with
the ambition of becoming literary lights /;
study stenography, but not with the idea
of earning your own bread for the rest
OF your days. 1t at college you are
honestly convinced that, by continuing
unhampered course in letters, you are
likely to be of superior value to the
world, choose your path accordingly. If
you study stenography, keep in mind
that it is truly valuable only as a reserve.
Neither is the Sammum bOhum. If you
60 to college or study stenography, the
only safe aud right ambition for nine
hundred ninety-nine out of one thousand
ofyou is to find your mate aud become a
devoted wife and mother. If, perchance,
you happen to be the one of thousand,
never fear but that both you and your
friends will know it soon enough.

SCHOOL-YEAR END.

Mr.. Editor: Another school-year
ended and millions of brain cells, into
which for ten months various bits of in.
formation and knowledge have been
packed and crowded, have swung wide
their doors and doubtless too many of
them are already as empty as Pandora's
box. Naturally the school.year end,
whether a commencement or gradua-
tion, is the occasion of joy to the bright
and dull pupil alike, aud whatever legit-
imately provides expression for this Joy
should receive hearty support. The pre-
vailing mode of celebrating this event,
however, we believe, receives no sanction
from our public school system.
During these June days scenes of our
school-year end return unsummoned. 1t
was an occasion of joy-and profit, too.
There were recitations selected from
literature studied during the year, lucid
demonstrations of problems in mathe-
MATES, descriptions of the geography of
a given section OF territory; and certain
OF the advanced pupils, histrionically
inclined, staged a chapter from Dickens
At all events, after the sremarks by the
principal" the pupils who had taken
part carried away with them something
OF value and attentive parents and friends
had some idea of the course of education
al training pursued in the schools Fur
thermore, aside from the coveted assign
nents "to Le'p decorate the hail." moth
ing had impeded the regular and orderly
conduct of the school sessions: rehear-
sails took place after school hours.
Leaving the abstract and reminiscent
and coming to the concrete, we believe
that the method ofcelebrating the school.
year end in Island Pond should be rad
ically reformed. AS interesting and
agreeable as the exercises of the lower
schools were, did they indicate in any
way Elemental advancement that should
be expected after years schooling 2.
Did they not rather cater to grace of
body than growth OF mind Did they
not rather impress one as amateur
vaudeville than as an exposition of in
telect?
Concerted stage work requires uni
formity of action and uniformity of
apparel. The former was acquired bv
= much hard work OF both teachers and
pupils, partly during school hours and
1t must surely have more or less affected
regular school work. The latter strikes
at the foundation of every American
institution: equality of privilege. Ger
tain OF the uniforms must have necessi.
tated considerable outlay CT money, trih-
ing for some parents, burdensome or
impossible for others. Perhaps some
pupils may have desire to participate in
one of the 'drills," but, unable to pro-
cure the required uniform, felt sense
of injury not half understood.
Let us have change in the celebration
of our school-year end Let us have an
observance that wi Il reflect the workings
of our schools aud not the amateur stage

There is more Catarrh in this section of the
country than all other diseases put together, and
until the last few years was supposed to be in
durable. For a great many years doctors pro-
nou1lced it a local disease and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Sci
ence has proven catarrh to be a constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure, manufacture
by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio. is the only
constitutional cure on the market. It is taken
internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoon
full. 1t acts directly on the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred
dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for cir
