There is an ancient tale of band
of Arabs being pursued by their enc
mics which sums up their theory about
a horses color. Among the fleeing
band was Il man with unusually keen
eyesight. and from time to time he
would describe to his leader the horses
ridden by the enemy.
What manner of horses do they
ride
"Black horses"
Then there is no need of haste
AT the noon halt the leader again
asked. What manner of horses 90
they ride now?"
BAY horses"
Then we must ride harder
A few hours later the leader asked
"Are they horsed again?'
''They ride chestnuts.
'.Then we ride for our lives"

WHY Colds are Dangerous.

Because you have contracted ordinary
colds and recovered from them without
treatment of any kind, do not for a
moment iuagine that colds are not
dangerous. Everyone knows that
pneumonia and chronic catarrh have
their origin in a common cold. Con
sumption is not caused by a cold but
the cold prepares the system for the
reception and development OF the germs
that would not otherwise have found
Judgment II is the same with all in
fectious diseases. DipMheria, scarlet
fever, measles and whooping cough are
much more likely to be contracted when
the child has cold You will sec
from this that more real danger turks in
a cold than In any other of the common
ailments. The easiest and quickest way
TO cure a cold is to take Chamberlain's
Cough Femedy. The many remarkable
cures effected by this preparation have
made it a staple Article of tradc over
large part of the world. FoT sale by

The Worlds Timber

Prof. Somerville's paper before the
British Association on the timber sup
ply shows that the world is steadily
approaching a timber famine. Already
Britain pays each year 1000, 900 ster'
ling for wood; Germany, with nearly
twelve times the area of forest pos
sessed by Britain, annually pays II, :
600, 600 sterling for imported timber,
and although the United States of Amer
lea exports wood and wood products to
the value of 10000, 900 sterling per
annum, she has to pay as much for i'm
ports. In Europe, Sweden and Russia
are, of course, the chief timber-e export
ing countries, but in both cases the vast
inroads on supplies is seriously felt, and
exports are being appreciably reduced.
There are, of course, Canada and ST.
IBERIA, but in Canada, at all events, wood
is being used up at rapid rate.

Strenqth of Human Hair

A human hair of average thickness
can support load of Ga ounces, and
the average number of hairs on the head
is about $4,000. A woman's long hair
has a total tensile strength of more than
five tons, and this strength can be in
creased one-third by twisting the hair.
The ancents made practical use of the
strength of human hair The cords of
the Roman catapults were made of the
hair of slaves, and it is recoreed that the
free women of Cathage offered their
luxuriant tresses fort he same use when
their city was besieged by the Romans.

Government Forests of
PRUSSIA Well MANAGED

Prussia has national forests, cover
ing nearly 1000, 600 acres which are
made up much as if the pineries of the
Southern states of this country and the
forests of some Of the middle Atlantic
and Central states we're combined.
hen forestry was begun by Prussia, a
gree. part of the timber land had been
injured by mismanagement, much as
American forests have been, and the
Prussian foresters had to solve the
problem Of improving the run down
forests out of the returns from those
which we're still In good condition.
They solved it with striking success.
Immense improvement has already
taken place and s steadily going on.
The method of management adopted
calls for a sustained yield-that is, no
more wood is cut than the forest pro-
duces. Under this management the
growth of the forest. and consequently
the amount cut, has risen sharply. In
1880 the yield was twenty cubic feet
per acre. in 1856, twenty-four cubic
feet; in 1890, ffty-two cubic feet, and
1904, siXty-hve cubic feet. In other
words Prussian forest management has
multiplied the rate of production three
fold in seventy five years. And the
quality of the product has improved with
the quantity. Between 1880 and 1904
the percentage of saw timber rose from
nineteen per cent to tfty-four per cent.
1t is a striking fact in this connection
that in the United States at the present
time the people use about three times as
much timber as the forests grow. If
We we're everywhere practicing forestry
with a resulting improvement equal to
that made in Prussia, the forests of this
country would be growing as much as
we use.
The financial returns in Prussia make
an even better showing. Net returns
per acre in 1850 we're twenty-eight cents.
In 1865 they we're seventy-two cents; in
1900, 81. SO; and in 1904, $3.50. They
are now nearly ten times what they were
sixty years ago, and they are increasing
more rapidly than ever.
These results have been obtained in
Prussia along with almost ideal techni-
cal success. Then what is wanted is
sustained yield from the forest year by
year in the long run, it is clearly neces
sary to have always certain number of
trees ready to be cut; there must be a
proper proportion of trees of all ages.
This percentage has been secured and
maintained with almost mathematical
accuracy
