Forests and Waterways.

It is an absolute principle: No for
ests, no waterways. Without forests
regulating the distribution of water,
rainfalls are at once hurried to the
sea, hurried, alas, also across the
country. After devastating the neigh
boring fields, the rivers find them
selves again with little water and
much sand. Do you want to have
navigable rivers, or do you prefer to
have torrents that will destroy your
crops and never bear boat? The
river Loire in France used to be one
of her best waterways; it Is now the
river whose foundations are most de-
structive. Special studies have been
made for the river Loire in particular,
The parts of the country are being re-
forested, that is necessary to make
the river as navigable as it was be-
fore, The officials who have the care
of the canals have also the supervi-
sion of the rivers. Thus we are work
ing in order to turn to the best posi-.
BILE use the natural resources of our
country-those resources which the
rashness of the isolated individual
would often destroy If the government
did not interfere in the interest Of the
many.-M. Jusserand, French ambas.

Question of Ham Raised in Washington

this dainty morsel is not only an art,

"Our pigs are raised with snfinite

last they are doomed to DIG, we are
almost as sorry as they cas possibly

Facts About Hailstones.

If It was not for the countless tril-
lions of dust particles that float sep

there could be no rain drops, snow
CRYSTALS or hailstones. From a per-
fectly dustless atmosphere the mois-
ture would descend in ceaseles rain
without drops. The dust particles
serve as nuclei about which vapor
gathers.
The snow crystal is the most beauti-
full creation of the aerial moisture, and
the hailstone is the most extraordin-
ary The heart of every hailstone is a
tiny speck of dust. Such speck, with
a little moisture condensed about it,
is the germ from which may be
formed a hailstone capable of telling
a man or smashing window. But
first it must be caught up by current
of air and carried to the level of the
lofty cirrus clouds, five or six, or even

earth, spinning through the cloud, and

CAREFUL DOCTOR
Prescribed Change of Food Instead of
Drugs.

1t takes considerable courage for a
doctor to deliberately prescribe only
food for a despairing patient, instead
of resorting to the usual list of med.
icines.
There are some truly scientific ply.
sicians among the present generation
who recognize and treat conditions as
they are and should be treated regard
less of the value to their pockets.
Here's an instance:
-Four years ago I was taken with
severe gastritis and nothing would
stay on my stomach, so that I was on
the verge of starvation.
Il heard of a doctor who has sum.

west, seven dogs and one mountain
lion "got busy right away" For mo
ment or two the chances seemed
equal, for the lion is terrific fighter;
but seven experienced dogs are toe
much for the strongest panther, and
the end was not far off. The dogs
holds became longer as the lions
struggles became weaker, and the
fight appeared to be nearly over,
when in it's death struggles the lion
broke free from the dogs and charged
blindly at one of the hunters, knock
ing him down and infiicting some
nasty scratches At the same instant
the dogs again fastened on their prey,
ard man, lion and dogs formed mad

the worst of it. Indeed, matters might
have gone badly with him, had 1t not

thus putting an end to a very exciting

there is nothing very extraordinary in
the circumstance. l once saw lynx
take flying leap out of the top OF
a very tall pine, with no worse effect,
apparently, than to give him a mo-
mentary sensation of breathlessness.
Although, as a rule, panthers are
brought to bay, or, as is more ire
quently the case, freed, after short
run, in some instances. especially
when the country is at all difficult,
they will travel for many miles be-
fore making a stand. l have noticed
that the farther a panther travels, the
harder it fights in the final melee,
probably because it tires less quickly
than dogs do, and is therefore less
out-classed at the end than at the be-
ginning of run. But in any circum-
stances they are worthy antagonists,

ing a full-grown panther, but 1 doubt
if the report was authentic. One dog
that knows it's business can kill a
wolf, for the wolf is dangerous only
at one end, whereas the panther can
deal death at either. Once let dog
get a firm grip on the throat of a
wolf, and the wolf can do him no in
jury; but the panther, when being
throttled by dog, has only to give
one rake with those terrible hind
claws, and its assailant's body Is laid

when hunting in pack, of spread

worry it to death in comparative safe

one of the prettiest bits of animal In

Uncle Sam Develops New Easter Lily

great saving if the time taken to force
good Easter lily could be reduced by
month or two.
With view of bringing this about
the hybridization of the Philippine
and the Bermuda lily has been effect
ed. The result of the cross is flow
err larger than the familiar Easter lily,
but not quite so broad as and little
shorter than the Philippine lily.
Up to this time Americans have had
to rely for a very sparse supply of
Philippines lilies upon the Philippine
islands, and they arrive early in the
spring, when they cannot be used for
forcing; but by growing them in
California they can be obtained in the
fall in good time for forcing into flow
er during the winter. The plants so
far grown in California, says Mr..
Oliver, do not show signs Of the lily
disease.
A second line of work In connection
with the production of lilies has been
under way in the department for the
last four years. This embraces the
selection of plants which show free
dom from disease as manifested by
spotted leaves and distorted flowers.
Three varieties have been selected,
all of which are well known in this
country.
In connection with the work on the
improvement of florists flowers a new
blooming dahlia has been de-
veloped by Mr.. oliver. and, it is be-
lieved, will fill a long-felt want in
supplying flowers of brilliant colors
several weeks before the ordinary
types of dahlias are available. The
seed-bearing parent of the new race
is a species discovered three years
ago in Mexico at an elevation of 1000
feet by Federico Chisholm. The plants
were forwarded to the bureau of plant
industry and have been crossed with
the ordinary species, and as result
of these crosses more than 20 new
forms have been developed.

are turning their attention to things
OF beauty as well as usefulness, and

by them. Next season in all probable

were originated in the departments

"The growing of lilies in the United

Ona of the most promising of the

MRS CHAMP CLARK of Missouri

MRS CHAMP CLARK of Missouri
4v1 has entered a controversy which
is in progress in Washington among
society leaders, epicures and chefs
as to the best way to cook a Virginia
ham, by contending that a Missouri
ham is the best, anyhow. The wife
of the Democratic leader in the house
of representatives takes direct issue
with Gov Joe" Blackburn, Col
John A. Joyce, Mrs. F. Berger Moran
and others who have declared in favor
of hickory smoke with which to cure
tho ham, the light of the full moon in
which to kill it, and that it must come
from the Mother of Presidents" for
only there does the real aristocratic
porker have its being. The contro-
versy has become so hot that Presi-
dent Taft may be called upon to de-
eide it.
"The Missouri ham Is so far ahead
of anything in the pig line introduced
by Virginia or elsewhere" said Mrs.
Clark, that I can't understand how
people can be so deceived. Isn't every
thing better in Missouri than else
where? Why, of course it is. Then,
why shouldn't hams be superior? With

of appreciation of anything, the own
er at once says: "Senor, it is yours; -
but he simply intends something fat

pected to accept anything that is Of
fered to you. An amusing story is
told of Sir Spencer st. John, the Eng,

this national courtesy often provokes
embarrassment. Sir Spencer, who is
gallant old bachelor. was prom
enading with some ladies in the park,
when he met a nurse girl with a
bright-eyed baby. The ladies stopped
to admire the little one, and Sir Spen-
Ger asked whose child it was. "Senor,

a courtesy. Sir Spencer has never in

children since.
