SOME ODD RACES

Several girls are seated in row, each
holding in her hand a cravat. From
starting line directly in front Of them,
at a considerable distance, an equal
number of boys start on signals. Each
one runs to the girl opposite him. falls
on one knee before her, and after she
has tied the cravat around his neck,
speeds back to the starting line. The
first to reach it is the victor. Another
race is sometimes done on horseback;
the riders, as they gallop past the
women, must each seize an open UNI
brella held out by a woman, and, clos
ing it as they ride. return to the start
ing place. This may be done on foot
if horses are not available.
Another is called wheelbarrow race,
in which the boy puts his hands on the
ground while his ankles are grasped by
a GIRL who trundles him along on his
hands from starting line to goal.
These plays are translated from re-
cent French magazine.

Doesn't Favor SiIencer.

BUFFALO, March 30.-The new
Maxim gun silencer will not be used in
Buffalo if Superintendent Regain can
prevent it. The great possibilities for
the commission of crime by use of the
device have profoundly impressed the
superintendent and he intends to have
some law enacted that will forbid it's
common use. This new gun silencer,
says he, may be a mighty clever
thing, but it's use by hold-up men and
burglars would be a great menace to
the public With the gun silencer'
crook could shoot down citizen.
and although policeman might be
within a block of the scene OF the
crime ne would be none the wiser
until he ran across the body of the
victim The loud report attending the
firing Of revolver today does
great deal to prevent its common use
by housebreakers and highwaymen."

ICE FAMINE STRIKES
new YORK CITY HARD
Not Since 1890 Has There Been So
Poor Season for Gathering Ice
of Good Quality.

NEW YORK, March 3O.-Not since
1871 mas there been so poor a season
for gathering ice of good quality, and
not since January of the present year
mas there been a favorable opportunity
to secure this product except in sec
tons to the north of us. Those who
improved that early opportunity did
we'll, but many were unprepared for
it and have been disappointed in their
reasonable expectation that other
chances would follow.
The New York city companies, espe-
cially, are making very poor mouths,
preparatory to marking up prices to
an almost unprecedented figure if the
consumers will stand the terms that
they are now discussing The Hudson
river cut is declared very unsatisfac-
tory. It's yield is 40 per cent less than
usual and the quality inferior. Five or
six weeks of cutting are common on
that immense source Of supply This
year there have been hardly as many
days. In years of fairness it is the part
of reasonable business foresight to
IAN occasional year of shortage.
A shortage is all that present condi-
tions amount to, 1 is still very far
from a famine and every purveyor to
the wants of the public in this respect
should have his houses we'll stocked.

College Course for $133.

BOSTON, Mass, March 30.-Mil-
lionare Barbour is working at his
cheap college scheme with his usual
zeal He is ready to offer to the Mas
sachusetts college, now seeking fncor'
poration by the legislature as a state
college, his plan for giving poor stu
dents a cheap college course, it being
no hing less than full four years
course for $13S or $34.50 per year. Mr..
Barbour has been working on his
plans for many years and has Won the
support of many educators to whom he
has submitted it, The underlying prin-
ciple is to carry college education to
all parts of the state to permit those OF
slender means to continue their stud
les after graduating from high schools.

INCREASE IN USE
OF FOREST TIMBER


Western hemlock .a...... LIS per M.
HE'D cedar .............. 800 per NJ.
During the past field season esti-
mates of the timber on each of the %
national forests of Washington, Ore
gon, and Alaska have been made, as
an inventory to guide the government
property. The reports of these esti-
mates, which are not yet fully COM
pleted, show that there are over 100
billion feet of timber, besides
some hundreds of millions of cords of
wood, on the 100000 acres of ma
tional forests in Oregon, Washington,
and Alaska. With these estimates as a
basis, the amount that can be safely
cut on each national forest each year
will be calculated and this figure set
as an absolute limit to the annual cut.
In the eastern part of the district GER
tain areas, chiefly sparsely forested
slopes at the headwa. ers of impor.an

Corn Products Company.

NEW YORK, March 30.-The recent
merger of subsidiary corporations
having necessitated the election of
new set of officers, the annual meeting
held today is attending to that duty.
For the first time since The panic has
started all it's plants on full time. This
move has been made necessary by the
large increase in the volume of orders
received by the corporation during the
past few weeks. Moreover, it is claimed
tina. it will be some time before the
p ants will catch up with the current
demand for the company's products.
The factories are now grinding about
100000 bushels of corn per day as
against $4,000 per day during the de-
preston.
