The chief wealth Of. the forests OF
Java, at the present time, consists In
the wood of the teak tree, which is
extensively employed for naval con-
strucuon. The trees are ordinarily
cut when they have attained an age
of about so years and q height Of be.
tween 50 and 20 feet The species
most esteemed has wood Of a brown
color possessing q greasy feeling q
the touch. since 1880 the teak has
been cultivated, and the cutting Of
/ the trees has been regulated by the
Dutch government. A peculiar fea
ture Of the cutting. designed to cause
the. wood to part slowly With its sap
consists in the girdling Of the trunk

RIDING AFTER THE WILDCAT.

H. H. Dunn ~ kfcrtatill-
Differing essentially in many character
istics from riding to hounds in the East

no sport in ali the category which I have
tried to equal the hunting Of wildcats and

is different; there are plenty Of foxes in
Southern California, but they are Of an
inferior breed 10 the long-tailed. red
haired fellows that the hounds of old
Kentucky are wont 10 trail In the main
they are small and gray and they hole

Mark Twain as Critic.

Prom the Boston Globe.
A successful young novelist was prais-
ing the critical powers Of Mark Twain.
i once had the honor OF reading a tale
Of mine TO Mr. Clemens" he said. and,
thanks to his criticism, the tale was
greatly improved. Originally it was too
highflown; he brought it down to earth
and made it homelier and truer.
For instance. the tale concluded with
these words:
'Mabel's lovely eyes dropped for an
swer, faint flush tinted her cheeks, and
she gave him both her hands; and there
in the old orchard In the shade of the
heavy fruited trees, he drew her 10 his
breast. and, raising her long ringlets TO
his lips, kissed them reverently.'
Mr.. Clemens. at this ending, blew clouds
OF smoke thoughtfully into the air, and
as he watched the smoke disappear, he
drawled:
What do you think now, honestly, of
a young man who would go nibbling at a
girls back hair when she had her face
with her?''

Bruin shook his head and the dog
growled- Bruins paw moved and the
dog jumped straight at him She hit
the glass and dropped. got up and jumped
again, and again fell to the sidewalk.
Then she streaked it for the door through

they were clothed in fantastic or gorgeous

There came Mephistophilcs. also
