,RELANp's NEED OF FORESTS.
Like United States, She 10 Late In
Waking Up to Her Sins.

Ireland has awakened to the nation
al value of her forests, but SO late that
radical measures will now be neces-
sary to make up for past neglect. A
commission appointed by the crown
to investigate the condition of Ire
lands forests and to suggest measures
for lettering 1t has just made public
its report
The commission outlines and vigor-
ously urges the adoption OF a large
scheme for the state TO plant about
100000 acres with forest trees. This,
with the 100000 acres of existing for
est, would give Ireland / 100000 acres
Of forest land, an essential for the
agricultural and industrial require
ments of the country.
About 10000 acres Of this would be
purchased by the state in mountain
GUS and rough regions and managed
as state forest, says Harper's Weekly,
while 100000 acres, chiefly in small
blocks, would be planted by the state
but managed by private owners or by
county councils.
ihC iaCt tHdt uhucT Tie idnu puT-
chase acts much woodland formerly
held in large blocks is being sold in
small parcels and numbered and that
there is now opportunity for the gov
eminent to acquire woods and land
suitable for forests make II specially
urgent for the state to take immediate
action.
To show that such scheme of land
acquisition and planting is not imprac-
ticable the commission cites the case
OF Denmark, an agricultural country
half the size of Ireland. which since
1881 has increased her forests by 1885,
900 acres.

Dogs Of Luxury.

The appearance of little dogs as OBJ
jects Of luxury goes back to the most
ancient times. Documents are not
wanting to show that Greek and Ro-
man women had pet dogs which they
idolized. Even men, particularly
among foreigners, were not ashamed
to walk the streets OF Rome with pet
dogs under their arms. Plutarch re-
lates that julius Caesar, seeing one
day in Rome some strangers thus load
ed with their dogs, asked them iron
ically whether the women of their
country did not bear children Tertia.

HEALTH SERVICES
IN THE CHURCHES

Ray Stannard Baker in the first
of his new series on ''The Spiritual
Unrest" in the December American
Magazine, tells the story of Heal
ing the Sick In the Churches" OF
Emmanuel church in Boston, he
says:
I'm addition to quiet personal
treatment. largely attended meet
ing is held every Wednesday even
ing in the church. II is in reality an
apotheOsis of the old Unattended
praper-meetihg: but under the inn
petus of the new work, people come
| by hundreds; there are often eight
hundred to one thousand men and
women present. After singing and
| Bible reading requests for prayer
are read A women who is to un-
dergo a serious operation tonight
asks your prayer that she may be
sustained "A man struggling with
the demon of drink asks your pray
| ers.' These are merely samples. The
people kneel and DR.. McComb or
DR.. Worcester prays. Afterward a
short practical address, applying the
| teachings of Christ to human Ills,
\ Is given. When this service is over
| the people go up TO the social room
| where an hour is spent In making
and renewing acquaintances Many
of those who come have had great
help from these meetings.
| "It is difficult to convey any idea
| of the eagerness with which suffer
ing men and women, Protestants,
Catholics, Jews, non-believers, have
come TO Emmanuel church, In search
of the new life. Where once the
ministers were compelled to go out
and urge men to come In, IL Is diff
ficult now to find room or time for
all who come. Last winter DR..
Worcester was awakened about 4
o'clock one morning by ring at his
door-bell. Half aroused, he thought
he hearG n man crying or groaning.
He went to his window and looked
out. There. sprawled on his front
steps, lay the body OF a man. He
rushed down and opened the door
and found the man lying In his
blood. his wrists cut In an attempt
to commit suicide. DIR. Worcester
4 sent for a doctor and after the nee
. essary medical treatment found out
that the poor fellow was suffering
from hypochondria, life not wortf
living" and after number o
. treatments brought him around nj

Worcester that he had heard OF hi
work and took last chance to CONF
from Rhode Island TO see II he coul'
not be helped.
People have come not only from
Boston but from all over the coun

EsmeraIda County To Sue BondSmen

The county commissioners of Esmer-
aida county have instructed District
Attorney Swallow to bring suit against
County Clerk and Treasurer Hardy's
bOndsmen to recover approximately
the sum of $4,000. county funds
which that official had deposited in
the State Bank and Trust company
when the crash came. The position
that the county commissioners take is
that the county treasurer can deposit
the countys money wherever he secs
fit, but that he and his bundsmcn are
ut all times responsible in the premises
cs. The treasurer, however. points out
that an order was made upon the
minutes of the present county com
mission authorizing him to deposit the
finds of the county i'm the three banks
in existence at the time the order was
made. The question which now arises
is as to the legality OF such an order
and, if made. whether il releases the
custodian of the county funds from
responsibility.
