A Rabbit and a Whistle,

Did you know that short, sharp
whistle from the mouth would stop a
rabbit? 1t surely does. Next time you
see little Molly Cottontail leap from her
burrow and make off don't shoot: just
whistle. Whether from fear or curos-
ity'I cannot tell, but she will stop still
N her tracks. An antelope has been
known to do likewise. An African
hunter once said that the elephant is
the most timid of all animals and can
be frightened into 4 cold sweat by Il
mysterious noise.-New York Press.

"Taking a Day Off,"
The Persian Carpenter.

In accordance with the invariable
custom of all eastern artisans the Per
sian carpenter sits upon the ground
while at work. Instead of a bench a
strong stake Is driven down before
him. leaving about ten inches above
ground. and upon this he rests his feet.
The facility with which the work is eX
ecuted in this position has always been
matter of surprise to European work
men. In the royal arsenals foreign
tools are used, and a better system
of working has been introduced, but in
the native workshops the workmen are
still to be seen sQuatting on the ground,
and. being used to this position from
infancy and their tools being formed
to work with more efficiency when
used in this way, any alteration is
scarcely to be expected. Their princi-
pal tools are the frame saw. adj.
planes, hammers, nails and few
smaller implements.

The Professors Mistake.

Professor Milne said that when in
Canada, at a meeting of the British
association. he was invited to give a
ed, and he went on all right At Il
quarter past everything was going
splenddly, and he talked till he got to
the last sentence. He then looked at
the clock and saw that it was pointing
to twenty past 8. He was Mortified
and, looking at the serried ranks in
front of him, determined that they
should not think that a man who had
come from England had said all he
had got to say in twenty minutes. So
he began a story to spin out the time.
He saw that Lord Kelvin was looking
a bit puzzled, but he went on with the
yarn till some one hit him on the back
and muttered in his ear: "Shut up,
Milne; you have been talking an hour
and half. The clock has stopped"-

SOME OPPOSITION
TO PENSION FUND.
SALARIES OF ALL PUBLIC SCHOOL
TEACHERS TO BE ASSESSED
FOR SUPPORT.

Pubic school teachers,of the State are
said to be somewhat divided in their at
titude towards the bill which was sign
ed by the gavernor on Saturday, pro-
viding pension.fund for the teachers
of the State, after a service of twenty
five years.
Under theterms of the bill, the teach
ers are to pay one per cent. of their
salaries to the fund to care for aged, in
firm or incapacitated public school
teachers. There is no option in the
matter, the law being obligatory. The
provision of the;law does not make any
distinction between white and colored
teachers in the matter, and
there are some who do not take kindly
to the idea of having their small funds
disposed of by the State without their
leave or consent.
Senator Watkins, of Chesterfield, un-
dertook TO have the bill amended so
tDht tCaChClo W GIG W NC SlNOh q CIIdllCC
to say whether they desired to become
members Of the pension fund-that is,
if they should desire TO contribute and
make themselves beneticiaries of the
provisions of the measure. But that
amendment was rejected by an over
whelming vote, and the teachers were
all placed on the same footing. In
case one of the female teachers of the
State should marry and her husband
should die and she again become a
teacher, she would have TO teach for
twenty-five years before she could be-
come a beneficiary under the law
That is the way it is understood. And
when woman teacher marrieS she al
once is made to give way for another
teacher, as married woman do not, as
rule, hold their positions as teacher.

eady increased with increased expendi-


ture for management.
A second lesson, clearly brought
home by foreign forestry, is the need
of timely action, since forest waste can
be repaired only at great cost.
Third, private initiative does not suf-
flee by itself to prevent wasteful forest
use. England, it is true, has so far
consistently followed let-alone policy.
However, England has been depending
upon foreign supplies of wood. Now
that all Europe is running behind ev-
cry year in the production of wood O.
$40, 600 TONS, and there are unmistak-
able signs that countries which lead as
exporters of wood will have to curtaii
their wood exports, England is at last
feeling her dependence and is speculat-
ing uneasily as to where she can GER
tainly secure what wood she needs III
the future.
Fourth, when the forest countries are
compared as to wood imports and ex-
ports, and when it is realized that a
number of the countries which practice
forestry are even now on the wood-im-
porting list, the need of forestry in the
export countries is doubly enforced.
Russia, Sweden, Austria Hungary,
and Canada, for instance, are making
good the wood deficit of large part of
the world. Sweden cuts much more
wood QO6, 900, 900 cubit- feet) than she
produces; Russia, in spite of her enor-
nous forest resources, has probably en-
tered the same road; and England, the
leading importer of wood, must count
more and more on Canada. But the
United States consumes every year
from three to four times the wood
which its forests produce, and in due
time will doubtless take all the wood
that Canada can spare. In other words,
unless the countries of the western
hemisphere apply forestry promptly
and thoroughly, they will one day as
suredly be held responsible for world
wide timber famine.
Fifth, in comparison with foreign
countries the prospects for forestry in
the United States are particularly
bright, for the following reasons:
QD We start with the..assurance that
success can certainly be attained
hox faxx Of hoY,1iaa ms
which have trammeled other countries.
We have no ancient forest rights and
usages with which to contend, or trou-
blesome property questions to settle.
(3) The results which other lands
have achieved by long struggle, often
with bitter costs, are free to us to use as
we wish. We have, is true, our pure
ly National and local forest questions,
but the key tosmany-of them is some
where in the keeping of the countries
which have achieved forestry.
az In variety combined with value
our ts..arelwithout parallel in the
world. They produce timber adapted
to the greatest variety of uses, so that,
except to meet shortage, importations
of wood are unnecessary. Furthermore,
transportation facilities enable us to
make every forest region available
Thus, by specializing our forest man.
agement, each kind of forest may be
made to yield the kind of material for
which it is best adapted, and the wastes
due to compulsory use of local supplies
may be practically eliminated.

In Switzerland, where every foot of
agricultural land is of the greatest value,
forestry has made it possible for the
people to farm all land fit for crops, and
so has assisted the country to support
larger population, and one that is
more prosperous, than would be the
case if the valleys were subjected to de-
structive floods In country as small
as Switzerland, and one which contains
so many high and rugged mountains,
this is service the benefits of which
