He remained In the service for a few years and then unexpsctedly resigned, saying that he was disgusted with army life and after many objections the Emperor had to givs in and the Prince was sent to Keenigsberg to become ae- auainted with the civil adufnistration.

This is the Way to Keep Well without Cascarets

Live outdoors, and let your work be exercise. Else walk ten miles day. Eat little meat, nowhite bread, no rich pastries. Eat many green vsge- tables, plenty of fruit, and bread made of whole wheat. Do that, and you'll have little need of a laxative while you keep young. But when you grow old, and the bowels become less active, you will need this help anyway.
 
 cascarets are for those who live indoors, who eat rich foods, who eat and drink too much.
 This vegetable laxative does for them exactly what proper living would do. Iteauses no irritation, as pill esthartiea, aalts and caster oil dc. It's action ls

Law fo eensor the Newa.

A drastic law against anarchism has just been passed by the Spanish Senate in face of strenuous oppostition from the Liberal and Democrat parties.
 The law authorizes the Government to suppress entirely newspapers which publish any news about anarchism. except the official notes issued by the Cove nment, and punishes by impri- sonmsnt those publishing such unofa- cfal news It also empowers the authorities to close clubs and to expel citizens who are suspected of pfopa- gating anarchisn.
 The new bill has been hotly opposed as an attack on tho rights of property and as likely to lead Co regrettable incidents. It is denounced as poli- tical move which will not accomplish what an efficient police force should be able to do.

The announcement that Melbn and Cakuso are to sing at the Opera on June ii has caused intense interest in Parisiar society. Paris seldom gets an opportunity to hear the greet ex- pensivs ssngers, for the simple reason that the Opera authorities here do not pay the enormous salaries that are paid Ia New York and London.
 The occasion of caruso's first ap-i pearance in grand opera in Paris is a special performance for the benefit Of the Dramatic Authors Fund. The lowest price for admission will be g2o.o0, and wealthy people are giving fancy prices for seats The Roth-' schilds have paid $I.000 for q box Baron Henri de Rothschild giving &200 for stall $

Parfa May 30.-The hatred of Ger 1saanv which though dormant IS as bitter as immediately after the war of 1s70-71. has been famed into name again by the arrest of German spy at Lille, and if, as 1t IS said, Frencn exposition in Berlin is the kaiser highest desire it is safe to say that if win meet with the strongest op- position on the part of the French people.
 A few days ago a man posing as . commercial traveller and going under the name. of Emile Blanchard was ar rested in a barroom at Lille just as A. private soldier was in the act of hand ing him several cartridges and some papers.
 The secret police had been shadow ing Blanchard for more than month. If was known that he had made friends with a number of soldiers whom he treated to drinks and ask Cd 10 supply him with certain tnforn1a~ tion. He had also endeavored to meet several n-commissioned offlcers The soldier who was with him whom he was arrested had informed his superiors and the cartridges and papers handed to Blanchard had been made up for this particular purpose, and when the spy had paid the soldier 10000 francs he was placed under arrest
 An investigation has shown that the real name of the spy is Edward Beck, that he is the son of q farmer at May e1lneville and that brother of his ia now serving his term in the German aarny at Metz
 Papers found in his lodgings at Lille shows that he entered into the employ of the German government m January this year and that his main object was to get hold of the mppAi- ration plans of the army corps sfa- tioned at Lille ~as well as to take photographs of the fortiacations. guns and military establishments.
 The soldier who caused his axrest' Leou Revere has become the hero Of the day because of the unusual smart way in which he understood to gain the confidence of the spy and supply evidence to convict Recix. As first reward he has been given q two weeks furlough and probabilities are that he will be decorated with the cross of the legion of honor which has never be- fore been given to g private soldier.

 That the diplomatic successes of his uncle King Edward are a thorn in tho nenh cf the Kaisor has never been shown more plainly than now when it ls said that the Emperor is endeavorins 70 arrange for French exposition to be held in this city next year.
 1T he succeeds he will do much tc offset the effects of the Anglo French opposition opened in London a few weeks ago, and the first step towards real reconciliation between France and Germany would have been made especially if the President of France could be induced to visit the exposition.
 The hrst plan was to transport the French exposition in London bodily to Berlin and nearly ail the French ex- hibitoTs were willing to have this done, but as the exposition in London does not close untu October, 1t would be im- possible 10 think of opening fair in Berlin until the spring of 1909 and the Kaiser's idea is now to have an inde- pendent French exposition at that time, much larger than the one in London and to fellow it up with German ex- position In Parls year later.
 The French press. however. seems to be very much opposed to the idea and that the English papers will do their utmost to prevent its execution goes without saying.

ut is generally realized that a GER
tain proportion OF land must always
be used for forest growth, just as for
other cropjs. Christmas trees are one
form OF this crop There is no more
reason for an outcry against using
land to grow Christmas trees than TO
grow flowers"
The Forest Service upholds the
Christmas tree custom. but recognizes
at the same time, that the indiscrim-
mate cutting of evergrcens to supply
the holiday trade has produced bad
effect upon many stands OF merchant
able kinds OF trees in different sec
tons of the country. Waste and de-
struction usually result when wood
lands are not under proper system
OF forest management. Foresters say
that it is not by denying ourselves the
wholesome pleasure of having n bit OF
nature in the home ct Christmas that
the problem of conserving the forests
will be solved, but by learning how TO
use the forests wisely and properly
The ravages through forest fires must
be checked, the many avenues #
waste of timber in its travel from the
woods to the mill and thence to the
market must be closed, and almost
numberless important problems de-.
mand attention before the Christmas
tree.
Germany is conceded to have the
highest developed system of forest
management Of any country, yet its
per capita use of Christmas trees is
greatest. The cutting OF small trees
for Christmas is not there considered
in the least as a menace to the for
est. but, on the contrary. as meaS:
Of improving the forest by thinning
and as a. source Of revenue. 1t is
therefore constantly encouraged
There is little doubt but that the
time will come when the Christmas
tree business will become a recognize
ed industry in this country. and that
as much attention will be given to It
as will be given to the growing OF
crops OF timber for other uses. This
time may not he far of. for it is al
ready understood that only through
the practice Of forestry. which mears
both the conservation OF the timn,,
which remains and carefully planned
systems OF reEorestation, will 1t be pos.
sible to supply the country with its
forty billion feet of lumber needed
each year, as well as the few million
little trees used at Christmas time.

TREE
CUSTOM UPHELD
THE couNTRY's FORESTS HAVE
AGAIN SUPPLIED ABOUT 4,
10000 TREES FOR SAM
IA CLAUS.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2G.-The coun,
try's forests again have beqn called
upon to supply about four million
Christmas trees. and again many per
sons have asked themselves and hare
queried the United States Forest ser-
vice, rs the custom a menace to the
movemet for forest preservation"
In the millions of happy homes over
the country where the younger genoI-
alton has made the Christmas tree thu
center of play since early Friday morn
ing. there are many mothers and faith
ers who have given the question more
or less thought. From Sunday schools
and otner organizations also, which
hold an annual celebration around n
gayly trimmed evergreen for the benc.
At of the little ones, has come the
question whether 1t is consistent -
urge conservation of forest resources
and then to cut millions of young
trees every year to AFFORD little JOY
in the passing holiday season.
Yes, 1t is consistent and proper
that the custom should be maintain.
ed" has been the answer Of United
States Forester Clifford Pinchot in ev.
er ycase. Trees are for use, ami
there is no other use to which they
could be put which would contribute
so much to the Joy of man as their
use by the children on this one greet
holiday OF the year.
1.-The number OF trees cut for this
use each year is utterly insignificant
when compared to the consumption for
other purposes for which timber is
demanded Not more than four mil.
lion Christmas trees are used each
year, one in every fourth family. Ii
planted four feet apart they could ne
grown on less than l 900 acres. This
clearing OF an area equal to a good.
sized farm each Christmas should not
be subject of much worry when II
is remembered that for lumber alone
1T is necessary to take timber from an
area OF more than 100000 acres every
day of the year.
1T is true that there has been Sc,
rious damage TO forest growth in the
cutting of Christmas trees in various
sections of the country, particularly
in the Adirondacks and parts of New
England, but in these very sections
the damage through the cutting Of
young eyergreens for use at Christmas
is inhnitesimal when compared with
the loss OF forest resources through
fires and careless methods of lumber.

using trees but to adopt wiser meth
