The Thief Traekers.

A curious profession among the Be-

their animals always more or less at

Of crackers" and it would be either
bold or an ignorant man indeed who
ventured to interfere with an Arabs

which a camel stolen from camp
near Ismailia was, after weeks OF Ia
Dor, successfully tracked to the Sudan,
where the beast was recaptured and
summary vengeance wreaked upon the
robbers. Selected for natural ability

UNIVERSITY SUMMER SCHOOL.

Monday the Summer School OF
the University of Virginia, which
opened June 18th, had enrolled 800
students, and passed far beyond
the total attendance of last sum-
mer, which was 403, The indica-
tons are that the enrolment OF
this session will reach 700. Stu
dents have arrived from every Sec
ton of Virginia, and from nineteen
states of the Union.
1t is gratifying to observe that
the care taken to supply disting-
uished teachers for the College
Courses has met with hearty re-
spouse, and many men, teachers OF
High Schools, have come in fol
this work. The courses in English
offered by Prof c. Alphonso Smith
and Prof. Chas. w. Kent, and IL
History by Prof, S. c. Mitchell
have enrolled large and enthusiasts
tie classes.
Other special features of the
Summer School have enlisted thell
full share of interest. Among these
to be mentioned in particular are
Prof. K.-C. Davis course in Agrl
culture, Miss Margaret Kings
course in Nature Study and Schoo
Gardens, Miss Edith Charlton
! course in Domestic Science, ant
the course in Story Telling b.
Richard T. Wyche, president of tn
Story Telling League.
The new dining hall was com
pleted in time to be opened on tn
first day of the Summer School
and the services of an experience
manager were secured. Owing t
it's convenient location and the eS
cellent fare furnished, this hano
some hall has from the first prove
a favorite resort for the students.

WOODLOTS In JAPAN.

In these times of great drain on
the timber supply, caused by the
heavy demand for forest products
of all kinds, Americans may see in
Japan an example of what can be
done in growing wood on small
plots. That country contains Il
million wood lots, about three
fourths of which belong to private
persons and one-fourth to COM
munes.
The average size of the plots is
less than nine-tenths of an acre.
They usually occupy the steepest,
toughest, and poorest ground. In
this way land is put to use which
would otherwise 60 to waste, and
if unwooded would lose its soil by
the wash of the dashing rains.
From Japan's woodlots, the
yearly yield of lumber is about SO
feet, board measure per acre, and
three-fourths of a cord of frewood.
In many cases the yield is much
higher. More than half a billion
trees are planted yearly to make
up what is cut for lumber and fuet.
Assessment for taxation is low,
averaging for the 81 million lots
less than dollar an acre.
With all the care in cutting, and
the industry in replanting it, it is
by no means certain that Japan's
forests are holding their own. Ii
the preservation of the forests is
doubtful there, it is evident that
depletion must be alarmingly rapid
in other countries which cut UNI
sparingly and plant very little, On
the other hand, it is encouraging to
see what can be done with rough,
steep and poor land. The United
States has enough of that kind,
without touching the rich agrlcul-
tural acres, to grow billions OF feet
of lumber.

It's Power of Changing Color ror es"

Tho free frog is found throughout
the eastern United States, ranging west
TO Kansas and Texas and nortn in'o
Canada. It inhabits woods ana OF
chards and is found on trees, stohe
walls. fences and houses. Inc eggs
which are deposited early in May, are
attached singly or in small groups "
grass or dead stems at the surface oi
the water. Early In July the young
have passed through the tadpoie suse
and leave the water. TlS. are green
ot first. but soon turn to gray or gray
and green. The tree frog is larger!
nocturnal, in habits and feeds on III
scots. 1t is notable for its many color
changes and varies from almost white
TO green or dark brown or various COM
bInations of green and gray,
While the tree frog Is common
throughout the eastern United States,
It's purring trill is far more familiar
than the frog itself, owing to its retir-
ing habits and powers of resembling In
color the object on WHICH II reSlo'

He was always wounding their

remarks at their expense.
He was cold and reserved in his
manner, cranky, gloomy, pessi-

He was suspicious of everybody.
He never threw the doors of his
heart wide open to people, or took
them into his confidence
He was always ready to receive
assistance from his friends, but al
ways too busy or too stingy TO as
sist them in their time of need.
He regarded friendship as luxury
to be enjoyed, instead of an oppor'
tunity for service.
He never learned that implicit,
generous trust is the very tounda-
ton stone of friendship.
| He never thought it worth while
ha spend time in keeping up his
friendships.

Appleton is the euphouious title
Of the new town with broad streets

planned on a beautiful and COM

attracted most favorable comment

One prominent advantage of the
new town is its situation amidst the
large orchards of the Oregon Flat
country, and the first enterprise to
be promoted at Appleton is a Can

thousand cans of fruit or tomatoes
daily.
