of Seattle, thai the timber supply of
the United States is ineXhautrble, as
given in newspaper report from
Seattle yesterday morning. They
were free to express themselves that
MIR. Weyerhaeuser is mistaken and
overestimates the value and amount Of
the natural increase OF timber on
land.
J. A. Tormey. former superintend-
ent Of the city schools but now inter-
csted IN the sale of timber lands, said:
Il cannot understand why Mr..
Weyerhaeuser should make such
statements. He Is one Of the best
informed men in the United states on
the subject OF forest supply. but II is
common knowledge that the timber
supply of the middle west is exhaust
ed. There are only 10 sawmills there
today where there were formerly
about so.

Bulletin II OF the United States

the stumpage regions of the central
west is $50 per 1000 feet, In Micni-
gan SIS to SIS and in Minnesota from

kind here sells for 81. In many parts
OF that country where timber was
worthless a few years ago the stump
land has become valuable Some of
the land in Michigan has been gone

Pleasure and Sacrifice.

An alert little a~ve-year-old was visit
ing a city park with her mother for
the first time. She had noticed the
beautiful red and white swan boats as
they passed through in the morning,
and her mother had promised they
should come back after the shopping
was done and have a ride.
Shortly after dinner they stood on
the bridge ' the lagoon watching
the boats below and listening to tho
cry Of the barker az he tried to induce
the passing crowds to patronize his
swan boats.
But when her mother started toward
the boat landing little Elsie declared
very vigorously that she did not want
to go at all and, as her mother urged
her, broke forth In tears.
This sudden fear was 80 different
from her former eagerness that her
mother could not understand it until
she noticed the boatman's call.
he was crying: "Come along! Come
alorg! Ride clear round the pond.
Only s cents for ladies and gents!
Children thrown in!"

Apples 40 Onions.

In parts Of England many quaint su-
perstitions still center round the apple.
Apples hung on strings and twirled be-
fore the fire are said to fall off In the

more recent, though hardly more seri-
GUS, custom necessitates a bowl Of wa

apples. Mothers must drop forks into
the bowl from a distance Of about four
feet. II the fork pierces an apple the
feat is believed to protect the perform

Sun COOKING.

Sun cooking-roasting and boiling by
sunlight instead Of by coal or gas-has
been going on for 300 years. There are
sun stoves that roast a sirloin or boil
q soup to perfection. They are only
used, however, by scientists. A. sun
stove consists mainly OF "a, mirpor-a
spherical mirror-on a Joint. There; Is
also a reflector. The place for pot or
plate is so situated that the mirrors
rays can be focused on It accurately.
A German. Baron Tcherhausen, was
the first sun cook. He began in 1857 to
boil water. and in 1888 he had very
good success In boiling eggs. Sir John
Herschel and Button are other famous
names associated with cooking.
In California various sun cocks have
boiled a gallon Of water in twenty
minutes, roasted meat in two hours
and poached eggs in fifteen minutes,
quite as good time as the ordinary fire
makes.
An odd thing about meat roasted by
SUI rays is that it has an unpleasant
taste. This is avoided by the insertion
Of a plate of yellow glass between the
meat and mirror. In all solar stoves
the sheet of yellow glass fgures.-Lon-
don Tit-Bits. So.

Animals and Instinct.

It 10 q mistake to imagine that an.
mails are prevented BY instinct from
eating Injurious food. A chicken will
drink paint; a COW partakes Of water
in which poxious chemicals have been
washed: ducks cheerfuily swallow
snails and choke themselves In the
process. No; animals, like children,
need watching.
Recently numerous cases Of poison.
ing in ducks. which followed the con-
sumption Of cabbage leaves, have at
tracted much attention. A few hours
after feeding poisoning, has manifest.

EARLY English Scare.

: In 1870 q report was circulated that
"certain galleys. with a multitude OF
armed men therein, were lying OF the
foreland of Thanet," and an order was
at once issued that "every night watch
shall be kept between the Tower Of
London and Bnlingsgate. with forty
men at arms and sixty archers." The
watch was kept in the following or
der: Tuesday. the diapers and the
~tailors: Wednesday,, the MERGERS and
the ap%othecarles; Thursday, the, 1sh-
mongers and the butchers; Friday, the
pewterers and the winners: Saturday,

championins the Worm.
!. An incident that occurred some years
ago during a session Of the British
parliament furnished an amusing IT,
Illustration of the power Of satire to
bring about results that sober argu.
ment often fails to accomplish.
There had been introduced q bill de-
signed to prevent cruelty to wild ami
mails In captivity. 1t was opposed on
the ground that. IL passed, it would
endanger certain kinds Of legitimate
sport.
When the Earl Of Kimberley arose
he gravely admitted the force Of this
argument.
'There can be no doubt" said he,
shat the bill would put an end to fish,
ing with worms as bait. 1t f. a bill to
prevent cruelty to wild animals in
captivity. The schedule states that
the word animal shall be held to in.
clude reptile. A worm may be held to
be a reptile. A worm impaled on a
hook must certainly be held to be in
captivity; therefore the angler who
uses d live worm for bait would be
guilty Of cruelty to an animal in cap
tivity."
The laugh that followed at, the ex-
pense of those against the bill robbed
the opposition Of. whatever force It had
and carried the measure to a sue
cessful issue.-Cincinnati Commercial
Tribune.

The Paper They Were Written On.
The average author would probably
laugh at the statement that at one
time in the worlds history manu-
scripts. simply as such, irrespective of
the nature Of the text, were. immense
" valuable. In ancient times manu-
scripts were important articles from a
commercial point Of view. They were
excessively scarce and were preserved
with the utmost care. Even the usur-
srs were glad to lend money on them
when the owners were obliged to offer
them in pawn. It is related in an
ancient tome that a student of Pavia,
who was reduced by his debaucheries;
raised, a new fortune by leaving In
pawn a manuscript Of a body Of law,
and a grammarian who was ruined by
q fire rebuilt his house with two small
volumes. Of: Cicero through the ready
aid of the pawnbroker. ]
