the minister, who is an enthusiastic

the loss of a match game that had
seemed entirely his. But after playing
superbly, he fell off at the end, aud his
opponent beat him out. This must
have weighed on the minister's mind,
for when he rose in the pulpit the next
morning to announce his text, he be-

Residents in many parts OF New
England were awakened one extremely
cold night early in February by Loud
explosions and slight tremblings of the
earth. They thought there had been
an earthquake, and were sure OF 1t
when they found cracks in the ground
an inch or two wide and from forty to
a hundred feet long But when geolo-
gists were consulted, they said that the
cracks, as well as the explosions, were
caused by the frost, and were a reped-
ton In frozen earth Of the rumblings
and shaking that accompany the freez-
ing of a pond in very cold weather.

and, pulling OF one OF his knitted gloves,
he gave me his hand. His nose was red.
but his fine, kindly eyes sparkied bright

umph, which one may see on man when
he has broken the ice TO take his morning

accusation that he resembles the En-

sticking to the Disasreeab1e Job.


1t Is the man who can stick to the
disagreeable job, do 1t with energy and
vim, the man who can force himself to
do good work when he does not feel
like doing Tin other words, the man
who is master of himself, who has a
great purpose, and who holds himself
to his aim, whether it is agreeable or
disagreeable, whether he feels like 1t
or does not feel like it-that wins.
1t is easy TO do what is agreeable, to
keep at the thing we like and are en-
thusiastic about; but it takes real grit
to try to put our whole soul into that
which is distasteful and against which
our nature protests, but which we are
compelled to do for the sake of others
who would suffer If we did not do It.
To go every morning with a stout
heart and an elastic step, with courage
and enthusiasm, to work which we are
not fitted for and were not intended to
do, work against which our very ma
ture protests, just because it is our
duty, and to keep this up, year in and
year out, require heroic qualities.-O.
S. Marden in Success Magazine.

All the main questions arising out of
cussed, or at least touched upon, In the
report Of the Secretary of Agriculture
on the southern Appalachian and White
Mountain watersheds. The report was
made for the purpose of informing Con-
gress as to the ACCESSIBILITY of purchas-
ing and setting aside the regions men
toned as national forest reserves.
Whatever Congress may do in the mat
ter, the report and all kindred discus
sion of forests have great value In edu-
eating the country. On the proper care
Of forests in public and private hands
depends primarily the supply of lumber
for all future time The insistence Of
experts on this point has stimulated In
terests in scientific cutting, the treat
ment of land which has been cut over,
the protection of standing wood and
young growth from fire More than
this, we have learned the value OF trees
in preventing the washing away Of val
liable soil and the consequent clogging
OF warehouses;. Without trees the
rains wear the land down to the bone |;
the melting SHOWS run unchecked in
the spring and cause destructive
floods; streams which furnish power to
mills cannot have a regular flow, and
reservoirs for public water-supply can
not be maintained. Moreover, entomol-
ogists tell us that a rapid diminution
of forest trees in any region destroys
the balance between tree life and the
insect life that preys upon 1t, and so
increases the burden on fruit and
shade trees. The problem thus affects
not only the lumberman and the indus
tries that depend on wood, but the
whole community. Nature has estab-
lished relation between the forests of
the North and the water that flows by
New Orleans. knowledge Of this rela-
ton Is a bond between the states be-
yond the power of politics to make or
break. The public is becoming educated
in the science Of forestry and In the
greater science of mutual dependence
and responsibility.

1t is no disparagement Of the Queen

Eest that her fearlessness and spirit OF

almost innumerable parallels In the

of this type. If this were not the case,
