zone Of the most striking characters

1.-THE Story of Cannoneer Under
Stonewall Jackson" was General
Jake, as we called him. whose passion
for war kept him always In the army,
although his aversion to battle kept
him always in the rear. An interview
between the general and one of our
company, as he viewed the man and
was struck with his appearance, was
as follows:
well, general, you are the most
perfect looking specimen of soldier
I ever beheld. That piercing eye, the
grizzly mustache, the firm jaw, the
pose Of the head, that voice-in fact,
the whole makeup fills to the full the
measure of man of war
''The general, with a graceful bow
and a deep roll in his voice, replied.
Sire. in enumerating the items which
go to constitute a great general I no
tice the omission of one requisite. the
absence of which in my outfit lost to
the cause a genius in council and
mighty leader in battle

$215, 671, $50. In December, 1907, the
losses amounted to $15,7S3,75O.
The Attorney General has made a
ruling to the effect that a Vacancy
Permit which purports to reduce the
amount of insurance, is illegal.
The State Association of Township
Mutual Insurance Companies held its
annual meeting in St. Paul, January
10Th and 18th. The companies repre-
sented in this Association had pros

The Attorney General has ruled that
life insurance companies in exchang-
ing policies issued prior to Jan. 1, 1908,
may use the old forms, when the new
policies are issued on an option re-
served in the original policy. In all
other exchanges policies must conform
to present standards.
The Retail Hardware Dealers Asso-

Astigmatism From Reading In Bed

Astigmatism From Reading In Bed.
Astigmatism, which is a condition
where the retroactive powers differ in
the different meridians Of the eye, is
in most cases hereditary, but it is often
acquired. The error of acquired astig-
matism often takes place during and
after a severe illness and can be avoid
ed by proper precautions. The whole
system is in weakened condition, and
the person SO afflicted, being confined
to the house, will resort to reading to
pass away the time, and this is often
practiced while in reclining position.
There can be nothing more injurious
than this practice. Reading under these
conditions overburdens the muscles.
and the action Of these muscles upon
the form Of the eye causes an irregu-
larity in the curvature of the cornea,
which is known as astigmatism. This
is detrimental to distant vision and
makes reading and near work difficult.

Greatest Lumber Cut.

| More lumber was cut in the United
States last year than in any other year
in it's history. The enormous amount
of 81 $3.50, 1876 board feet was produced,
and the mill value of this was $611 ISL, !.
1888. In addition, there were produced
II, 1858 1850, 900 shingles, valued at 1884,
lob, 555, and s,s12,sO7, 1000 lath, valued
at $11 AGO. $40. On the whole, it is safe
to say that the present annual lumber
cut of the the United States approx
mates 40 billion feet, and that the to-
tai mill value of the lumber, lath and
shingles each year produced is not less
than 500, 100000. These figures give
some idea of how vast is the lumber
industry and how great is the demand
for its products.
A glance at the kinds of lumber pro-
duced shows very clearly the passing
of white pine and oak, one the great
est softwood and the other the great
est hardwood which the forest has
ever grown. Since 1899 the cut of
white pine has fallen off more than 40
per cent, while that of white oak has
fallen off more than SO per cent. To-
day yellow pine leads all other woods
in amount cut, while Douglas fir-and
this will be surprise to many-comes
second. Since 1899 the cut of Douglas
fir has increased 1856 per cent. Louis
lana is the foremost yellow pine state,
with Texas, Mississippi and Arkansas
following in order. Washington pro-
duces by far the greatest amount of
Douglas fir.
A comparison of the lumber produ"
cling states shows that since 1899 there
have been many changes iu their rel
alive rank. Washington, which in
1899 stood sixth, now leads, while Wis
cousin, which eight years ago led all
others, is now third. In the same
period Oregon, Louisiana, Mississippi,
Idaho and California made great strides
as lumber producing states, though,
on the other hand, the amount pro-
duced in Michigan, Wisconsin, Mime
sofa, Georgia, Kentucky, Tennessee,
Missouri, Indiana and Ohio fell off any
where from 20 to 81 per cent.
The highest priced native woods are
walnut, hickory and ash, and the cheap
est are larch and white fir. From the
fact, however, that since 1899 the aver
age increase in the price of lumber
has been 40 per cent, it will not be
long before cheap woods are few and
far between.
Figures upon the lumber cut of the
United States in 1906 are contained in
Circular 122 of the Forest Service,
which can be had upon application to
the Forester, U. S. Department of Ag-
riculture, Washington, D. G.
