Good For Climate.

Hon Elwood Cooper of Santa Bar bara was one of the first Americans to recognize the prospective value of the eucalyptus as forest trees He acted upon his conviction and has for a score of years been reapiug the re- ward. Besides enjoying the beauty and shade of his groves, as we'll as the beneficial change they have wrought in the climate of the region, he has for years received from them an annual income of no inconsider- able amount
 "In many of the semi-tropic DOT tions of the globe the eucalyptus is the tree most suitable to plant for forest cover. Much of the treeiess land in Southern California might be covered with these trees As the con ditiOns under which the different eu- calypts grow in Australia are very diverse, it is evident that if the spe- cies are properly selected they will thrive under the most diverse con. ditiOnS here in California.
 "The timber of the different euca- lypts differs very much in character. While that of all species is hard the degree of hardness, the strength, the durability, flexibility, color and many other qualities are quite different. Great difference exists also in the same species grown in different soils and climates. To these variations are due, largely, the great variety of uses that the timber of these trees serves.
 Under favorable conditions euca- lyptus trees in seeding plantations have reached maximum develop ment of five inches in diameter and sixty-seven feet in height in four years. This represents an average of growth of seventeen feet in heighth in the course Of year, though a growth of ten to fifteen feet yearly is the general average.
 Tt seems to be the prevailing opin- ion of lumbermen in the West that eucalyptus cannot be seasoned This is a mistake as it is no harder to season than oak or any other hard woods of the East.
 Hardwood Qualities.
 The eucalyptus furnishes hard wood possessing qualities similar to those of hickory or ash The wood of different species differs in strength and durability, but in general the tim Der is very strong, heavy and hard with a close grained and homogeneous structure. The specific gravity of the wood of most of the species is greater than that of water, the dry wood of the blue gum averaging over sixty pounds to the cubic foot.
 "The wood is very tough resisting indentation, tension and torsion. This is of advantage, for it will not crack ar break ont under strain at joints or bolt holes The wood is stiffer and less elastic than eastern hickory The col or of the different species ranges from white to dark brown and in some species the sapwood is unde-

TAFTLETS.

The whole party and the whole
country will unite on Taft.
Taft is a big man today but he
will get bigger as the campaign
progresses.
1t will require no diplomacy to
bring the hackers of other cam
didates at Chicago into line as
cordial supporters of the nation
al ticket. They were in line
from the moment of the nomi-
nations. Uncle Joe Cannon and
Senator Foraker will work for
Taft's election.
The country as a whole has
recognized that the Republican
presidential candidate is fully
equipped by character, ability
and experience to discharge with
credit all the arduous duties Of
the presidency. Even the Dem
ocratic newspapers admit his
capacity and his fitness, The
Democratic press of the East
seems even now to be getting
ready to give him a qualified
support, and the southern news
papers, although they will not
bolt the Democratic ticket, are

II am not of opinion that all kinds
Of homework afford beneficial exer-
else. Indeed, sweeping and busting are
liable to be injurious, and the same
may be said of washing, ironing and
scrubbing. They are too arduOus they
exercise one set Of muscles at the ex-
pense of others, and usually cause IA
tigue, which Is always bad.
1T is different, however. with cook
ing, which employs all the muscles Of
the body without overtiring any Of
them. In short, it is a first-rate exer-
else, inducing a uniform and harmoni-
Gus development of the physique. Not
only does 1t require the best efforts Of
the body, but also Of the brain, for 1t
calls upon the judgment, the perceptive
faculties and the Imagination, cultivat-
Ing and stimulating all three.
'0The very heat of the kitchen pro-
notes health, for free perspiration Is
hygienic, Kidding the blood Of lmpuri-
ties, clearing the pores and making the
skin soft and rosy. The blush that
comes from bending over a stove is far
more becoming to young girl who puts
her heart into her cooking than that
which the apothecary's clerk hands
down from the shelf of the drug store.
1.-THE artistic aspect of cooking ought
not to be forgotten, for the production
Of good things to eat is properly to be
regarded as a fine art 1t is a pity
that this cannot be more strongly en-
phasized, and that American women
cannot learn to relinquish their habit
OF regarding kitchen work as Justine
lively mental and fit only for the inlet
tered, whereas, as matter Of fact. it
is an occupation worthy Of the atten-
ton of any. graduate of Vassar or Wei
lesley.
1T Is we'll that hirelings should do
the sweeping, the busting, the washing
and the ironing; but the American girl,
no matter how wealthy she is should
be a skilled practitioner of the culinary
art-an art fundamental in the build
Ing of human happiness, wherein may
be obtained wholesome exercise for
both body and mind"

MansfieId's Rebuke,

A group of theatrical men were talk
ing In New York about the late Rich
ard Mansfield.
"Mr. Mansfield" said one, "was a
delightful humorist, a splendid racon-
teur in society, but at the same time
he had certain proper and becoming
sense of his own dignity, and it never
paid to be unduly familiar with him.
He was, as we all know, rather bald.
He resented, from BARRIERS or friends,
any allusion to his badness. Well, one
night at a party, a man came up be-
hind this great artist, staggered him
with a violent slap on the back, and
exclaimed in loud, jovial, familiar
voice:
"Hello, Dick. How are you? Every
time l see you, you get balder and
bal ler'
Mansfield drew himself up. He
sneered at the other.
"'Hello,' he said. I don't know who
you are, but every time l see you, you
get ruder and ruder.'"

THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE.
TwO-Thirds of the Worlds Core
spOndence Carried on In Ii.

TVvO-Thirds of the Worlds Core
sDOndence Carried on I'm Ii.
Two-thirds Of all the letters which
pass through the postoffices OF the
world are written by and sent to peo-
pie who speak English. There are
substantially 100000 persons speak
ing collOqulally one or another of the
ten or twelve chief languages, and Of
these about % per cent, or 125. 100000
persons, speak English. About 9O,0OO,-
600 speak Russian, 100000 German,
100000 French, 100000 Spanish,
100000 Italian, and 100000 Por-
|. tuguese; and the balance Hungarian,
Dutch, Flemish, Danish, Polish and
Norwegian.
Thus, while only one-quarter OF
those who employ the facilities Of the
postal departments of civilized govern
ments speak English as their native
tongue, two-thirds of those who CORE
Epond do so In the English language.
This situation arises from the fact that
SO large a share of the commercial
business OF the world is done in En-
glish, even among those who do not
speak English as their native tongue.
There are, for instance, more than 90
600 postof1ices in India, the business Of
which in letters and papers aggregate
more than 3OO,OOOOOO parcels a year,
and the business of these offices is done
chiefly in English, though of India's
total population, which is nearly 300,
100000, fewer than 100000 persons
either speak or understand English.
Though 100000 speak Russian and
understand it, the business of the Rus
sian postofice department is relatively
small, for the number of letters sent
throughout the Cars empire amounts
to less than one-tenth the number
mailed in Great Britain alone, though
the population of Great Britain is con-
siderably less than one-half of the pop
ulation of Russia in Europe.

ANOTHER WAY.
~N~A~~~N~


The recent financial stringency with
out doubt cast more or less uneasiness
over many Of the small depositors in
country banks, and although there were
many who did not wish to show their
uneasiness, they nevertheless felt a
hesitancy as to making further de-
posits, and many desired to withdraw
their money already on deposit. That
this desire was fixed In the minds Of
some who yet desired to betray no mis-
is illustrated by the following incident,
which occurred at a bank in a country
town In one of the middle Western
states.
A Swedish farmer had sold some
hogs on the local market, and upon re-
ceiving his check in payment immedi-
ately went to the local bank to realize
on his sale. Upon presentment of the
check, the banker said to him, do
you wish the money on this check?'
"Vell, tank yust SO veil take him"
was the quick reply.
You really want the money!
"Yah, / tank / take the none"
but do you really need the money!
asked the banker.
well, no. / don't exactly need him,
but tank | take the none"
WELL" said the banker, "if you
really want the money, of course will
give it to you, but l thought If you did
not need 1t, perhaps you might open an
account and deposit the money and
then check against it as you needed
IT.
Den ven 1 send my shecks here you
viii refuse to pay DEM"
"Oh, no, we won't. If you open the
account we will pay your checks when
ever they come H."
This seemed assuring to the Swede,
and he said:
''Vell, If you pays my checks, den
open de account" and the account was
opened and pass-book and check book
handed to the new customer.
Half an hour later a close friend of
the new depositor appeared at the
cashiers window and presented a
check signed by his friend for the full
amount of the deposit, which was
promptly paid by the banker without
comment
In about an hour the Swede appear
ed, and walking to the cashiers win
dow, handed the banker his check-book
minus only one check, with the re-
mark: "Vell, don't tank l needs him
any more"

that voters who do not vote shall be
penalized, and for a practical working
scheme he suggests a poll tax which
shall fall upon the delinquents Every
man who votes would be given a certi1-
cate that would be equivalent to a tax
receipt for the amount of the penalty.
It Is impossible, however, to make any
thing practical out of these compulsory
voting propositions. There Is far too
great range for the rational exercise
Of ind vidual discretion and judgment
A voter may stay away from the polls
because he Is dissatisfied with the can
6idates fog whom he has an oppor-
tunity to vote. Assuming that there
are two, he may believe that they are
both unfit on personal grounds. Or
neither of them may represent the po-
litical ideas In which he has faith. In
either case he will not choose between
them because, as he would put 1t, there
is nothing to choose. The occasions for
Indifference on such accounts are COM
mon. They were often effective with
some elections, but the maneuvering Of
worthless office-seekers who use party
names 10 confuse and betray the peo-
pie. Then there are times when SIN
cere party workers are so disguised by
the actions Of conventions Of their own
party that they feel themselves dis
franchised. They will not support the
unacceptable nominee that has been
forced upon them, and party loyalty
prevents them from turning to the OPP
position. In all these cases abstention
from voting betokens no lack Of In
terest In the political duties Of the cit
Izen 1t Is decided on deliberately, and
is due to conscientious convictions. So
there may be conscientious objections
to taking part in politics at particu-
lar time because Of deep aversion for
some generally accepted governmental
policy, and there is no place at which
the line can be drawn. Even the citi-
zen who keeps away from the polls
year after year through chronic indif-
ference and carelessness cannot be
reached by law because classified
ton is out of the question. We must
trust generally for getting out the vote
to the common desire of voters to par
ticipate in elections, to their personal
interest in doing so and to the influ-
ence of public sentiment and the agita-
ton that is kept up In the press and
on the platform.
