In the unexpectedly sudden death
OF President Gilman all that is best
in American life has lost one Of Its
most noteworthy Representatives. It
was Mr.. Gllman's lot to live al a most
interesting time in the history Of Am.
erican civilization. His sound early
training, his family traditions. his op,
portunfttes for foreign travel. and tbs
wide acquaintance with public men
and scholars in all lands. gave excep.
tlonal power to his mature and well:
balanced mind and provided an admir-.
able eoanterpoise to his unusual pow.
ers OF Imagination and initiative.
While President Gilman was intimate.
ly associated with many and import.
ant undertakings of a public, a scien,
tifc. and distlnctively educational
character. he will be chiefly remem.
bered, and deseryedly SO. for his ere.
alive work in planning and organizing
the Johns Hopkins University. which
work marked the beginning Of new
era in the history of higher education.
The name OF this obscure Baltimore
merchant who left his fortune to
found university and a hospital has
been made famous in every part Of
the known world by President Gilman
by the men whom he invited to his
side, by the forces which they togeth,
er set in motion, and by the scientific
and literary achievements OF them,
selves and their students. From

son was used and that the other half,
amounting to 100000 cords. was
wasted. Such waste is typical. Mr..
Il. A. Long, in his address on Forest
Conservation at the Conference OF
Governors last spring. pointed out
that 20 per cent. of the yellow pine
was simply left in the woods-a waste
which represents the timber growing
on 100000 acres.
"The rest Of the waste takes place
at the mill. OF course, it would never
do to speak Of the material rejected
at the mill as waste unless this ma.

better and more thorough form of
Utilization. But in many cases we
know, and In many other cases we
have excellent reason to believe, that
most, 1t not all. of this material could
be used with profit. It is simply a
question Of intelligent investigation
and, more than all, Of having the will
to economize

regards the cut-oYer land, severe cut

The Fsroeious MuskeIIande.

In the bed of drained off lake was found the skull of muskellunge with swans skull inside of it, and the teeth were locked in the bone, showing that the strong. powerful bird had been attacked during a time when its head was under water, and possibly in the fierce battle that must have eusued each combatant drowned the other The fish was supposed to have been about seventy pounds in weight An other case on record is that of five pound fish being found dead, apparent ly ehoked by the partly swallowed body of another fish of three pounds. So voracious is the muskellunge that fl will deyour any living thing that comes within its vision. Full grown bull frogs. good sized ducklings, small aquatic birds, as well as many water mammals. become an easy prey ta its yawning sepulcber of a mouth.-I4ouis Rhead in Metropolitan Magazine.

SELL FURNITURE AND SKIP.

 The owner of a furnished house on
 Seventh street recently found to his surprise that his newly acquired ten ants were missing. A little later and more to his surprise he found that most of his furniture in the house was missing, too. A hurried inyesti. gation among the second hand stores in the city disclosed the whereabouts of the furniture. but it is understood that the tenants were not so easily found The house was rented to a couple of strangers just few weeks ago and the owner of the property sup posed at the time that he had made a profitable transaction A day or two ago he was informed that the house had been vacated suddenly and on a visit to the house found it pretty well stripped. The owner has now brought an action in Judge Rice's court to re cover the property which was sold to a local second hand dealer.-Douglas Dispatch.
