Christmas Trees.

Frederick Law Olmsted, Jr., the
landscape architect. writes to the Bos-
ton Advertiser in reply to recent
assertion that the use OF Christmas
trees has almost annihilated the sup
ply OF spruce for pulp wood" Mr..
Olmsted says: In the first place,
the Christmas trees regularly used are
not spruces az all. but balsam frs.
cannot remember ever having seen
a native spruce used or sold for
Christmas tree. While the
cutting now being done for paper pulp
Is to a large extent wastefully con-
Quoted, without due regard for the
future crop or the economic value or
land after the removal OF the present
stand, the Christmas trees are. | be-
iieve. in large proportions cut of land
which Is actually raised in economic
value by their removal. Good market
able Christmas trees cannot be cut
ip the dense woods, except in so far
as the otherwise nearly useless tops
of large trees are used for this pur-
pose. They must ordinarily be got
from localities where they have grown
up scatteringly in open land, so as
not to have lost the needles from
their side branches by shading each
other They are obtained thus in vast
quantities from the pastures in Maine
and other northern states, where the
interminable springing up Of FIR and
spruce seedlings. wind sown from the
neighboring woods. has to be fought
by the farmers with equally intermin-
able wedding out. The farmers want
to get rid OF the intruders. and IL they
can get little money for them, so
much the better"

The Woman Cigar Buyer.

High-class stores say some OF their
most exacting buyers OF cigars are
women. They will go down TO the
vaults and select brands, colors and
sizes with unerring Judgment. AS a
general rule these purchases are
made not for husbands or relatives,
but for dinner parties, and. OF course.
only the best smokes are desired.
Mrs Stuyvesant Fish always buys the
same brand. the cigars being made ex-
clusiyely for her use. Ordinarily the
price at retail would be about 81 each.
but Mrs. Fish. buying In bulk. pays the
comparatively small sum OF $50 a

who Is well up on cigars Is Mrs. Reg

is a little higher. from SIS 10 800 a
