Whenever l have heard people rail
ing at the vast fortunes of some of the
California millionaires, says an Eng
fish writer, have always replied that
no man became a millionaire in the
early history of California who had not
earned his fortune by the risks he had
had the courage to face. remembered
an old Irishman named Bill Dunphy
bringing home to my mind what these
pioneers had encountered when he told
me how he and companion had Jared
in a journey across the continent. The
companion injured his leg. Dunphy
had to cut it off with an ak and then,
going forward through the dark I'M
traced woods to search for the trail
and for food, had to leave his friend
behind by the side of stream and
with a single tin of biscuits to keep
him up till his friends return. Then I
saw what the pioneers of 1S49 had
faced, and l felt that they merited
such rewards, however great, as for
tune had afterward bestowed upon
them.

The Tongues Of the balkans.

Too many languages are spoken in
the Balkans. A traveller in that region
writes of the babel: Turkish, Bulga-
rian, Serbo-Croatian, Roumanian, Ar
menian, Greek, Albanian, Kulzo- Wal
lachian, Chingeni, the language of the
gypsies; Spaniole, the language Of the
Jews of Spanish or Portuguese descent,
and the language spoken by the Ger
man, Austrian, Roumanian and Rus
sian Jews. Add to this Arabic, Per-
sian and Syrian, largely spoken in Con-
stantinople; Italian, on the northeast
coast of the Adria; Russian, in the
northeastern parts of Roumania; vari-
Gus Austro-H Hungarian idioms spoken
in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the
Caucasion languages of the Circassians
and Georgians." Not one of these Ian
guages is of common use.

Linen Makes Rice Paper.

The rice plant contributes nothing to-
ward the manufacture of rice cigarette
papers but the name. Rice paper as
bought by. the cigarette merchants of
Egypt and Turkey is made from only
perfectly new trimmings of linen and
mostly comes from English and French
mills in Constantinople, Fumen and
France. The celebrated Chinese rice
paper is made from thin slices of the
pith from the canes of tree about five
feet high A sharp knife pares the
pith into cylinders of uniform thick
ness, which are than unrolled and
pressed out into so called rice paper.
By the way, Egyptian cigarettes con-
tain no Egyptian tobacco, for since
1890 the cultivation of the tobacco
plant has been prohibited. 1t is for
workmanship and the curing of the
leaf that the Cairenes are so justly
celebrated, but the tobacco they i'm
port comes entirely from Turkey.

The Value OF Woodlots.

Occupying, as it usully does the rocky,
sterile soil or the equally untillable
swampy land, the woodlot is the most
neglected part of the farm. Were it cot
for the excellent natural conditions
favoring forest growth in Maryland, our
woodlands would long ago have refused
to yield their valuable products in re-
taliation for our neglect and wanton
waste of their resources. But a new
order of things in coming into being.
The farmer is awakening to the fact that
wood is just as much a crop as hay or
corn, that intelligent care will certainly
bring better yield-and will increase the
value of the property. A good woodlot
is like good buildings, good fences, an
improvement with market value when
it becomes desirable to sell.
The most important function of the
woodlot is to supply the farmer With
required fuel and construction material
needed on the farm. There is con-
slant demand for fence posts, rails,
stakes and poles as well as an occasional
need of saw logs for making the necessary
framing material and boards for farm
buildings In addition to this the farmer
often finds that he eau sell timber for
cross-ties, poles, piling, &C., at good
price.
The single item of FIRE wood is an i'm
portant one to the farmer. In one of the
counties of the State where the average
rural conditions exist, it was found, bv
careful estimate, that the average annual
consumption of fire wood per family was
about ID cords. II the farmer had to buy
this. or haul coal from distance R. R
station, it would be quite tax. He can
cut his wood at most convenient times
when other farm work is not pressing so
that the fuel he uses is practically that
much gained The fire wood taken
from the woods, if it is the dead material
as is generally the case. is really an inn
provement to the woodlot and cannot be
considered as reducing the growing
stock.
The woodlot serves other purposes
which, though not so apparent as those
that have been given, are none the less
OF importance. These are in the nature
of protection A woodlot surrounding
the home and farm buildings. or located
on the windward side of them, affords
protection to both man and beast.
This means not only added comfort,
but a saving of food and fuel. Wood
lands at the source of streams or near
springs tend to preserve in them an even
flow throughout the year. 1t is a we'll
known fact that woodland springs live
through periods Of drought when those
not protected by trees dry up.
Windbreaks of trees also have very
beneficial influence in checking evapora-
ton of moisture over adjacent cultivated
fields during windy, dry weather.
The wood1ot is just as essential ITO a
we'll ordered farm as buildings or any
thing else that contributes to the COM
fort. convenience, and beauty of the
surroundings.

rhe. lone Star OF rexas.

The origin of the Lone Star flag Of
the republic of Texas is not entirely
clear. The claim has been made that
it was unfurled in the present territory
of Louisiana in 1910, but other search
ers cannot find earlier trace Of it than
the presentation of such banner to
the company Of Captain Andrew Rob-
inson in May, 1885. Still another claim
is made for flag unfurled at velasco
Jan. s, 1886, and said to have been

The word aCnnnize. ;,

Etymologists are driven to pure con-
lecture to explain the origin of the
word "capsize." One of them suspects
that it comes from the Spanish Ian
guage, as so many sailors words do,
and may be connected with ''cabe-
GEAR" to nod the head in sleep or to
pitch as a ship. and with "capuzar un
baxel," to sink a ship by the head
"cabeza" meaning head. Another guess
based on the fact that ''capsize" is an
English dialect word for moving a
hogshead by turning it over alternate
ly on to its two heads-is that the word
is simply ''cap," head, and "seize."
