From the English Estates Gazette.
Ever since the abolition of the wooden
navy we have been a singularly supine
neople in the matter of tree planting.
while it would seem that we have never
learned the lesson that the most solidly
prosperous land is that which makes the
utmost use Of every acre.

are able to make more mney than by
staying at home.
The average wage of these emigrants
was Is shillings a week, and they varied
from 20 to 80 shillings. according to in
telligence. with food. lodging and In many
cases their travelling expenses one way.
1t is customary for the Scotch and Eng
lish farmers to pay the railway fare
ticket home in the fall. Most of the emil
grants save the larger part of their
wages. 1t Is estimated the average net
savings was f12, or $50. per person. and
that the total amount taken back to
Ireland at the end of the season was
about f275,OOO. or S1,375,OOO in Ameri-
can money. These savings are sufficient
to keep their families through the rest
of the year, with the aid of their small
farms, fishing, weaving lacemaking and
other home industries
Decay of Agriculture Indicated.
According to the reports of the estates
commission the number of farmhands
employed in 1871, in addition to the owners
of land and their families. was 446 TO
or more than twice as many as are en-
ployed at present. In 1881 the number
was 30OO91. The number of occasional
laborers or extra harvest hands employed
in 1871 was 1S9.S29 as against 1850 en-
ployed In 1907. which indicates in a Strik-
ing manner the decay of agriculture in
Ireland. q.
At the same time wages have Increased
30 per cent. and the cost of boarding
farmhands has increased 40 per cent.
The hands now demand better accommo-
dations and better food, and everything
they require is much more expensive
than it was thirty years ago. The aver
age wages with board for steady farm
hands in Ireland, according to official sta
tistics. is S12 month. while ten years
ago labor was plenty at 50 month.
Wages of household servants are about
the same and have advanced accordingly.
Births Make Up Loss by Emigration.
The census statistics of Ireland are
quite interesting. and show that for the
last ten years the population has re-
manned fairly stationary, the excess of
births over deaths making up the loss
by emigration. The latest vital statistic,
available are for the year 1905, which
show a population of 4.:s91.5 an ex-
cess of births over deaths of y7,671; an
emigration of 30676 and a net decreas Sc
in population of 2,91J The following
table shows the number of births, deaths
and emigrants for ten years:

THE rAiL OF MR.. zIECrER
BY EDWIN A. NYE.
Copyright, 1908. by Edwin A. Nye.

Herman Ziegler of New York city
celebrated his thirty-fifth birthday one
day recently by exercising his wife.
He chased her, as was his frequent
want. with the butcher knife.
Albeit Mrs. Ziegler seems to have en-
tered into the spirit of the festivities,
she dutifully capered around the table
and oves the chairs to make a holiday
for Mr. Ziegler until she grew weary
of the play. Then she escaped and
ran to the neighbors
The man of the house rested from
his labors on the back porch, reciting
the story of the domestic circus he
had made and loudly telling what the
programme would be when Mrs. Zieg-
Ter returned.
In the phraseology of the street. that
was where Mr. Ziegler lost out.
Mrs. Ziegler returned. She brought
with her twelve other women Note
the fatal number = thirteen. These
merry wives seized Mr. Ziegler even
while he gloated. They bound him to
chair and joined hands In circle
about him. The circus programme
was to go on. but with changed bill.
While the twelve made a joyful
noise, as became the festal day, Mrs.
Ziegler larruped Mr. Ziegler with
section of the garden hose until he,
too, joined in the glad acclaim. though
discordantly Then the sisters of the
mystic circle helped Mr. Ziegler to his
painful bed.
Various ethical teachings might be
drawn from this veracious story of the
fall of Mr.. Ziegler.
For instance:
Every man should learn the lesson
that the race is not always to the
swift nor the battle to the strong; also
that pride goeth before a fall.
Every man must be shaped by I'M
toward events into something decent.
It is the misfortune of Ziegler that he
did not learn this until he was thirty
| five. He had bad fall coming to him.
1t was long overdue.
| So Mr.. Ziegler had to learn through
experience and a sound beating that
wife chasing, pursued either as a
wonted business or as pure recrea-
| ton, is detrimental to the chaser as
well as the chased.
| Mr.. Ziegler did not learn this lesson
in his puppy age, the Pepper age for
| humping wisdom in and beating fal.
lacies out. but it may be said
While 1t is sometimes difficult CO
teach an old dog tricks. 1t may be done.
