in a general direction toward Kau
There are also various patches outside
of the main forest in the lands called
Kipukea.
1T is a part of the island where
there are no streams, so that there is
no particular object in preserving the
forest for the purpose of conserving
water. What the effect of clearing of
the forest might be on the rainfall
would be hard to determine.

been cutting tracts through the Jungle
to facilitate the examination.
THE land may be found suitable
for homestead purposes, but to what
extent is somewhat uncertain. If the
land turns out to be adapted to home
stealing it may be desirable to have
it cleared so as to save homesteaders
that expense.
"At all the events license would
yield a revenue. Probably if not culk
ed the forest would in time die, and
perhaps therefore it is better to cut
it and utilize the product. So far the
matter has been merely under discus
sion.
Probably there will be no provi-
sion in the license for replanting of
trees. Such would likely be prohibi-
tive on account of expense to the Ii
censee.
"There will be a provision that the
cutting shall all be under the control
of the chief forester. Details are not
yet worked out. These should include
the price, the way a tree should be

ting should be done. the term OF II.

Success to the federation of negro
women's clubs in Iowa!
At Ottumwa last week 200 colored
women delegates to the State eonven-
tion of the Iowa federation resolved
to win their people back to the old
time songs and melodies as against
the aggression of the rag time fad.
In order to start the movement right
the convention spent a few hours in
singing such songs as Roll. Jordan,
Roll, Swing Low, Sweet Chariot, .
and other old-time melodies that
made the negro songs so popular In
other days.
The contrast between the singing
of those old-time melodies by a
chorus of 200 negro voices and the
present day rag time" songs can
easily be imagined. 1t doesn't re-
quire a practiced ear to feel the DIFF
ferenee between my Old Kentucky
Homes and such cheap and tacky
songs as All Coons Look Alike to
Me"
The old-tfne negro folk songs form
an interesting and historic feature
of American life. In its attempt to
restore those sweet and homely melo-
dies as the representative songs of
their race the negro women of Iowa
have undertaken a movement that is
replete with possibilities for a gen.
uine ~uplift" for their people. They
propose to revive the old songs,

SCARLET FEVER.
A scourge of White Races in All Ages
and Countries.


Now that smallpox, thanks to COM
pulsory vaccination, has become a
rarity In civilized communities, scar
let fever steps forward as the worst
of the eruptive diseases of childhood.
It is a malady of enormous antiquity.
Thucydides, writing nearly 500 years
before the beginning of our era,
called It a heritage from the remote
past. 1t has scourged the white races
in all ages and all countries. and the
physicians of all schools have leveled
their heaviest artillery upon it. Yet
1t remains a puzzle unsolved and an
enemy unconquered even to-day. We
are in doubt as to its cause. and there
is no drug or antitoxin that will cure
it. But despite all this the death
rate from scarlet fever is steadily de-
clining. and we may expect 1t to de-
cline more and more as the years go
by. The reason for this, take il,
lies In the fact that the modern doc
tor is a great deal more sparing with
pills and powders than his predeces-
sor and great deal more lavish with
water. air and antisepties. In the old
days 1t was customary to dose scarlet
fever patients with all sorts of vio-
lent remedies in staggering quanti-
ties. and as a result many of them
died. To-day medicines are but
minor auxiliaries in the sickroom,
and both doctor and nurse devote
their main energies to preventing
spread of the infection.-Delineat

The lips to lips and the breast TO breast;
All in a slory Of ecstasy. swift
As an eagle at prey, and pure as the PRAYER
OF an infant hidden joined hands uplift
To be guarded through darkness by spirits
of air,
Ere setting the sails Of sleep till day.
Slowly the low cloud swung. and far
It painted along its mirrored way.
Above loose threads one sanctioning star
The wonder of what had been witnessed
sealed.
And with me still, as in crystal qlassed.
Are the depths alight, the heavens re
vealed,
When on to the Alps the Muteness passed.
George Meredith, in Scribner's Monthly.
