A Round Trip.

Many a teacher has found himself re-
peating year after year some favorite story
without considering the logic of it until
called to halt by small boy listener. So
it was with Mr.. Frisbie when he told his
pupils this year, as usual, of a certain Ro-
man athlete who every morning swan the
Tiber three times.
AS the detail Of this achievement burst
upon him, little Willie Barnes nudged his
next neighbor and snickered audibly.
The professor undertook to rebuke him.
"Willie," said he, ''you seem to see some
thing very humorous in this. Win you
explain to the class what it is? Do you
doubt that he could swim the river three
times?"
"No, sir; it amt that!" gasped little
Willie. "But l was wondering why he
didn't make it four times, so as to get back
to the side where his clo'es WERE"

Colts ISLAND, April p.
I wish to say to Dell and John, Of the NJ. B.
column, that they were not the only ones who
displayed their flag in honor of Gov. Cobb
sustaining the Sturgis law, and that my
enthusiasm must have been fully as great as
was theirs. Yes. Gov. Cobb has proved him
self to be the right man in the right place,
and when we find an official who will prove
himself true to his oath, his people should
appreciate him
Like Dell, when l read of the document
being returned to the legislature unapproved,
/ did shout for Gov. Cobb. Susan joined in
my enthusiasm, and our flag was displayed in
honor of the event, all day. 1t seemedsas if
the elements outside to help out, gave us the
most beautiful day we had experienced for
months. l cannot say that I felt exactly as
did Dell, but did long to be near enough to

HOT WEATHER AHEAD.
How to Keep the Kitchen Cool and

How to Keep the Kitchen Cool and
Comfortable in Midsummer.
Many housewife is wondering how she
will pass through the coming summer months
with the stove she well knows will make the
kitchen unbearably hot-to say nothing Of the
dirt. dust and ashes that win add to the dis
comfort.
There is a way out Of it abuse the New
Perfection Wick Blue Flame Oil Cook Stove,
an oil stove that is fast replacing the range,
the old-fashioned oil stove, and in MANY
cases the gas stove.
Anyone who has had to wait ten or fifteen
minutes for the fire to get started will appre-
ciate the New Perfection, which gives a
strong working fame at moment Of lighting.
Blue fame" means the hottest and cleanest
fame produced by any stove; always under
immediate control, and can be raised or
lowered instantly.
The convenience Of this will be understood
when it is considered that while the fame of
one burner is boiling the kettle or roasting
large joint, that Of another can be reduced TO
simmering point.
On washing and ironing days the comfort
and convenience vf the New Perfection will be
greatly appreciated. The New Perfection ia
made in three sizes, with one, two, and three
burners, and is warranted to give full salts
action.
Another home comfort is the Rayo lamp.
which produces light of unusual brightness,
yet soft and mellow. 1t is highly ornamental,
being made of brass throughout and beauti-
fully nickeled. Every lamp warranted.-Adet.

THE TIMBER SUPPLY.
Three Times as Much Timber as the
Forest Grows Used Annually.

Every person in the United States is
using over six times as much wood as he
would use if he were in Europe. The
country as whole consumes every year
between three and four times more wood
than all of the forests of the United States
grow in the meantime. The average acre
of forest lays up store of only ten cubic
feet annually, whereas it ought to be lay
ing up at least thirty cubic feet in order
to furnish the products taken out Of it..
Since 1880 more than 700, 000, 900, GOO feet Of
timber have been cut for lumber alone,
including 81, 000, 900. 900 feet of coniferous
timber in excess Of the total coniferous
stumpage estimate of the census in 1880.
These are some of the remarka BILE state
ments made in circular 81 of the govern
ment forest service, which deals with the
timber supply of the United States, and
reviews the stumpage estimates made by
all the important authorities. A study Of
the circular leads directly to the conclu-
sion that the rate at which forest products
in the United States have been and are be-
ing consumed is far too lavish, and that
only one result can follow unless steps are
promptly taken to prevent waste in use,
and to increase the growth rate of every
acre of forest in the United States. This
result is timber famine.
This country is to-day in the same
position with regard to forest re-
sources as was Germany $50 years
ago. During this period of $50 years such
German states as Saxony and Prussia,
particularly the latter, have applied poll
cy of government control and regulation
which has immensely increased the pro-
ductivity of their forests. The same
policy will achieve even better results in
t1e United States, because we have the ad-
vantage of all the lessons which Europe
has learned and paid for in the course OF
century OF theory and practice.

Entering April's SHOWS and showers;
And May, quite sure she will come
Redolent with sweet mayhowers.
Are we not pleased to others please,
Under our windows to sparrows feed?
Nothing for food, they claim our aid;
To pay in songs our kindly deed.
May we all remember this:
As we do good, SO wen be blessed,
Daily thinking some good to do;
Gladly help some tired to rest
Each others joys our own to bless.
Then feed the pretty starving birds
Which come SO sadly to our door;
And they'll pay us with thankful songs
When cold and wintry storms are DER.
