Forestry in 1apa n

Just at the time when this country
is beginning to struggle with the
problem of outstanding it's forest re-
sources, of protecting its mountain
Slopes, and of improving the water
ways, it is interesting to know that
the Japanese have successfully at
tackled the same problem, before the
land suffered severely from the evil
effects following deforestation. The
far-sighted people of Nippon have
foreseen the results of the destruc-
ton of their extensive mountain for
ests, and have safeguarded them
selves by placing all of these under
government control
The practice of forestry has been
carried on in Japan for longer
time than in any other country For
1900 years the people of japan have
been planting and growing forests,
with a success that has been a little
short of marvellous. Under careful
management, the Japanese forests
Weld very high financial returns. This
high yield is only made possible by
the close utilization of every bit OF
the tree SO that scarcely a twig is
wasted, and by the Improvement OF
the growth of their forests by care
fully conducted thinning and tend
ing. The woods are first thinned at
the age of thirteen years, and then
every five years after that UP to the
time of the final harvest, at 120
years.
It was with the opening up of the
hitherto inaccessible mountain forests
that the Japanese government be
came most intensely interested in for
estry. The mountains were still gov
eminent land, so all that was neces-
sary to protect them was to place
proper restrictions on the sale ana
cutting of timber. This was effected
by declaring the forests On the steep
slopes as reserved forests, in which
the only cutting should be done under
government direction. The forests Old
agricultural lands, not needed for
protection, are classed as available
forests, and here the cutting is nor
so carefully restricted.
Thus Japan has effectually pre-
vented the stripping of her mountain
slopes before any great damage has
been done. In some districts, where
the mountains are near the towns,
the steep slopes have already been
cleared, and this has resulted In
woods and the washing down of the
soil from the slopes on to the farm
lands. But these cases have been ex-
ceptional, and have merely served as
warning, which Japan has needed
before it was too late to prevent wide
spread destruction.

her, and just before the orb set in
bronze and gold, she asked Jane, the
houeemaid, to accompany her through
the fields to the Raven Rock.
Timid Eve dare not trust herself
alone On the dangerous platform with
that imp. He was capable of any
deviltry He might scare her out of
her wits.
Jane was a good natured girl, and
she readily obliged her young mistress.
Jane Welsh's mother, who was a wild
ow, lived not far from Norwell, in a
cottage on the banks of the lamar,
higher up, where a slip of level mea
dow ran out from the cliffs, and the
river made loop round it.
AS Eve walked through the fields
towards the wood, and neared the
trees and rocks, she began to think
that she had made mistake. 1t
would not do for Jane to see Watt
She would talk about him, and Bar
bara would hear, and question her.
If Barbara asked her why she had
gone out at dusk to meet the boy
what answer could she make?
When Eve came to the gate into the
wood, she stood still, and holding the
gate half open. told Jane she might
stay there, for she would go on by her
self.
Jane was surprised.

back to the house. Eve hastily protest
cd that she did not want her TO re-

And if l call-come on to me. Jane,

and | want to be alone
Very well, Miss.
But Jane was puzzled, and said to
herself, There's lover sure as eggs
in April
Then Eve closed the gate between
herself and Jane, and went on. Be
fore disappearing into the shade OF
the trees. she looked back, and saw
the maid where she had left her,
plating grass.
A lover! A lover is the philosophers
stone that turns the sordid alloy OF
life into gold The idea of lover
was the most natural solution OF the
caprice in Miss Ewes conduct. AS
every road leads to kome, so in the
servant maid mind does every line of
life lead to sweetheart.
Jane, having settled that her young
mistress had gone on to meet
lover, next questioned who that lover
could be, and here she was utterly
puzzled. Sure enough Miss Eve had
been to a dance at the Cloberry's. but
whom she had met there, and to
whom lost her heart, that Jane did not
know, and that also Jane was resolved
to ascertain
She noiselessly unclasped the gate,
and stole along the path. The burn
ished brazen sky of evening shone be
tween the tree trunks, but the foliage
had lost it's verdure in the gathering
dusk. The honeysuckles poured
forth their scent in waves. The air

latticed window. The room was dark,
but there was silvery light in the
summer sky, becoming very white
towards the north. Outside the win
dow was a jessamine; the scent it ex,
hailed was too strong Barbara shut
the window to exclude the fragrance.
It made her head ache. A light air
played with the jessamine, and brush
ed some of the white flowers against
the glass, Barbara was usually sharp
with the servants when they returned
from their revivals and love-feasts
and missionary meetings, late; but
this evening she felt no impatlence.
She had plenty to occupy her nina,
and the time passed quickly with her.
All at once she heard a loud pro-
longed boot of an owl, so near and SO
loud that she felt sure the bird must
be in the house. Next moment she
heard her fathers voice calling re-
neatedlv and excitedly. She ran to
him and found him alarmed and agl-
tated. His window had been lett
open, as the evening was warm.

To Fight Mrs. Eddy's Donation.

Boston.-Disputing the power of
Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy, head of the
Christian Science church, to make dis
position of so large a part of her for
fortune, formal notices have been
served upon Trustees Mcclellan, Fer
nald and Baker, having in charge Mrs.
Eddy's estate, ordering them not to
make the SI,000,000 appropriation to
found a charitable institution recently
announced, or any other appropria-
tion from Mrs. Eddy's estate pending
the outcome of litigation.
According 10 former United States
Senator William E. Chandler, this ac-
tlon is to be followed by a new law
suit involving the Christian Science
head and her trustees, brought by the
next friends" Mrs. Eddy's son,
George w. Glover, his daughter, Mary
Baker-Glover, and Mrs. Eddys adopted
son, DR.. Ebenezer j. Foster, of Water
bury, Vermont.
The contention of Mr.. Chandler is
that the proposed appropriation of
81 900 900 is in direct violation of Mrs.
Eddy's deed of trust of March 6, 1907,
by which she turned over all her prop
erty to the three trustees for life, re-
serving onIy the right to use the in
come and certain realty and which
act marked the partial termination of
litigation against her and the trustees
by the next friends" a few months
since.

be entirely Independent of another

ment, when the committee on resolu-
tions presents the following strong
resolutions on negro education, which
were adopted unanimously:
I'VE endorse the accepted policy Of
the states # the South in providing
facilities Tor the youth of the negro
race, believing that whatever the ulti'
mate solution of this grievous prob
lem may be- education must be an i'm
portant factor in that solution. We be-
lieve that the education of the negro
in the elementary branches of educa-
tion should be made thorough and
should incl:lde specific instruction in
hygiene and home sanitation for the
better protection OF both races. We
believe that in the secondary educa-
tion of negro youth emphasis should
be placed upon agriculture and the
Industrial occupations. including nurse
training domestic science and home
economics. We beiieve that for prac-
tical economical and physiological rea-
sons negro teachers should be pro-
vided for negro schools. We recon-
mend that in urban and rural negro
schools there should be closer and
more thorough supervision, not only
by city and county Superintendents,
but also by directors of music, draw
ing manual raining and other special
topics. On account of economic and
hysiological difference in the two
races we believe that there should be
a difference in cou ses of study and
methods of teaching. and that there
should be such an adjustment of school
curricula as shall meet the evident
needs of negro youth. We insist upon
such an equitable distribution of the
school funds that all the youth of the
negro race shall have at least an op-
portunity to receive elementary edu-
cation provided by the state and in
the administration of state laws and
in the execution or this educational
policy we urge patience, tolerance and
Justice"
