SABLE JOTRNAITSH.

Out Of the West comes light on the momentous
question of forest preservation, wood pulp and
news paper, and the light is scarcely less weird
than that Of q pea green sun In mauve sky.
Some print paper manufacturers in Wisconsin
have hit upon simple but startling solution OF
this tripartite problem. They propose that
newspapers be printed in white ink upon black
paper and the arguments for this piece of topSy-
turyvdOm are cOncatenated Ike the tale about
the house that Jack built. The paper mill
makes black news paper; black news paper is
made out of almost any old fbrous stock; this
old fbrOus stock need not include good spruce

and compelling the appointment OF literary

that the manifold blessings following the adop

can cheap paper be manufactured having

reading of blackboard inscriptions. The slight

1t is at once d compliment TO the people and the
proper exercise of the influence that attaches To
the highest office In the state. Governor Hughes
is commissioned TO advance and protect the states
