A Lack of Foresight.

"A striking example of the many
ways in which we have followed the
course of the prodigal and scattered
what we should have conserved is
shown incur treatment Of our forest
wealth." says Hon Clifford Pinchot,
government forester, in the June
10th Farm and Preside. No sane
man, of course, will contend that
we should have left uncut the vast
and magnificent forests which once
covered SO much of the country.
East of the prairies almost every
acre of farm land had to be con-
quered from the forest. Much OF
this region is still woodland. In so
far as the primeval forest gave way
to a better use of the land, and in
so far as the standing timber every
where was converted into capital
value of other kinds, it is unneces-
sary and unwise to waste any re-
grets on what took place. But we
did not stop with clearing the way
for civilization; we did not stop with
turning trees into houses and trad
ing them for goods; we also burned
up, without benefit of any kind, a
major part of what should have
served for future supply, and Sc
verely impaired the power to grow
forests on land good only for the
growing of forests"

Origin of Courts-Martial.

The custom of holding courts
martial in our navy after every
case of shipwreck has a curious
origin. In 1741 the Wager. one Of
Commodore Anson's vessels, was
wrecked off the coast of Chile. most
of the crew being saved. The men
and some of the Junior officers held
that they were no longer amenable
to discipline, because their pay
ceased with the wreck; but the
captain. whose name was Davy
Cheap, differed. treated them as
mutineers. and shot one of his mid
shipmen. He was then deposed and
most of the crew made off in the
boats.
Later when it was proposed t.
proceed against the so-called mutt.
neers, the law officers of the Crown
decided that the men had been cor
rect in their view. This discovery
led to the framing of Section 81 O.
the Articles Of War. which provide.
that in case of shipwreck, destruc
ton or capture by the enemy a shiI
has to be deemed to remain il
commission pending inquiry int
the circumstances by a court-mar
ttial, -Tit-Bits.

Sure Cure for chiEfers.

Topeka, Kan, July 2:-The June
bulletin of the State Board of
Health has a very timely article on
the cure of chiggers. The article
shows that erysipelas and blood
poison have followed severe attacks
of chiggers. The chigger is not an
insect, but is known as mite, and
in many sections they are called
harvest mites, as that is the time
of year they appear. The best cure
for killing the mites and to relieve
the irritation is hyposulphate Of
soda. This is dissolved in water
until saturated solution is obtain
ed and the solution is applied to
the spot where the chigeer entered
the skin. Usually one application
is sufficient, but sometimes two OF
more are necessary. This solution
is not harmful, nor diSagreeable, ex
cept that there is a smarting wheI
the skin is sore from scratching. 1
the solution is applied to the ski
and allowed to dry without wipinl
it of, it will absolutely proven
chiggers entering the skin for a da,
or more.

Last week the Herald refused to
take a large ad for a Hannibal mer-
camille house. We have generally
adhered to the rule of turning down
foreign ads of the same kind our
home merchants were carrying. In
this particular we did not know just
what kind Of junk was offered for
sale but the question is did we help
our home merchant who doesn't adj
vertise by doing it? This question
is prompted by the fact that on
Saturday the firm flooded the town
with immense circulars advertising
the same goods we refused to adver.
tise. The papers from the same
town bring the same ads to ouI
town every day that we turn down
in our effort to protect our home
merchant. Has the merchant said
anything while we lose the business
This is a question we shall lool

e China, a Collection OF Nations.
samuel Merwin, in Success Mag
azine"
China is not a nation in the
sense gin which we ordinarily use
the word. If we picture to our
selves the countries of Europe, with
their different customs, drawn to-
gether into a loose confederation I'M
der the government of a conquer
ing race, we shall have some small
conception of what this Chinese
nation" really is. The peoples of
these different European countries
are all Caucasians; the different
peoples of China are all Mongolians,
These Chinese peoples speak eigh-
teen or twenty distinct languages,
each divided into almost innumera-
BILE dialects and sub-dialects. They
are governed by Manchu, or Tartar,
conquerors who spring from a differ
ent stock, wearing costumes, and
speak among themselves a language
wholly different from any of the
eighteen or twenty native tongues,

Cut 1t Out.


the editor of the Fort Scott Repub-
lican> refused to allow in her depart
ment, and for obvious reasons it
was not insisted upon. AS the
story goes, at a recent meeting of a
certain club of high brows, whose
object is to use a jackScrew under
the uplift, one of the members who
had recently joined the club asked
to make a few remarks on Brown
ing. 1t was not a Browning pro-
gram and nothing had been said
about the author, but this club feels
itself perfectly competent to dig in
any of the outlying pastures of lit
erature and unearth beautiful gems
that have never been seen before.
When the new member was asked
to make a few remarks on Brown
ing" she startled her fellow High
DTOWS ny Saying.
Il don't think there is any sub
ject in cooking that is of more inn
portance than browning, and in the
case of beans the browning is best
done with a brisk, hot fire., while
in the browning of bread l always
to have a slow. steady fire"
Then she sat down while the
members CROPPED for the door and
called a special session of the club
to swear each member to secrecy.
But for some reason there was a
leak in the lid, and the the attorney
general has been telegraphed.
The following is a waif floating
about in newspaperdom without
any indication of its authorship:
rs religion true? don't know and
don't care. But if it is a lie it is
the most beautiful one ever told,
one from which truth itself might
learn. Could we exist as a nation
without it? France tried it. Does
it do any harm? Then why destroy
it? Don't. It's old as civilization.
1t was almost all to our mothers.
We've been sung to sleep a thous-
and times by its hymns. We are
better men and women now when
ever we hear them sung. They are
joined to tender emotions. 1t has
made many happier and better
more honored, tender and fOrgiving
Many a man and woman have lair
down within its shadows peacefully
Don't destroy it. Why nine-tenths
of the mothers in America believe
in it. That's enough for it. 1t ha
been growing on our hearthston
for ages. Let it stay there, it can
hurt you. 1t is such a loving re
ligion. What will you give in it
stead, if you take it away? Philos
ophy? What are you to do whe
tired and hOmesick? Love? Earthl
loves are so selfish. 1t is such
beautiful delusiOn. Don't destro
it. Weave the silver threads thu
reach down from the star Of Bethl'
hem into the golden roof of sunligh
