The king knows that this journey
through the Congo BODIES no good to
him. His consent to it was asked
only as matter of form. Prince AL
bert, rich by inheritance from his
father, endowed with revenue by the
Belgian parliament, owes little to, and
knows he will get nothing from the
king. When he returns from the Con-
go he will throw off all pretense Of
submitting to leading strings, follow
policy of his own, and, inevitably,
will find himself at the head of a
party hostile to the king.
There may be no open scandal. The
prince, surrounded by the atmosphere
of the German courts, will break no
rule of etiquette. In public he will be
deferential to his sovereign. King
Leopold, most acute of men, will be,
in public, as loving to his nephew as
ever. But war there will be, with or
without scandal Prince Albert, while
holding aloof from politics, already
has done and said enough to show
what his policy is. 1t is a policy op.
posite in all things to that of King
Leopold.

Forestry AS a Profession.

At enc time ia the worlds history
at its beginning, uncivllized man
called the forests his friends. He
worshipped at the shrine of the mighty
oak, the giant cedar, the Washington
a Gigautea, because they gave him
shelter from the fierce north wind,
the burning sun and the deluge of
rain. In their branches he not only
found weapon to defend himself
against the fierce beast of field aud
forest, but in them close to their
protecting trunk he could build his
nest and sleep in peace with them he
could build his fire to warm himself
and to roast his meat and roots.
In short time however after he be-
came civilized enough to use mother
earth and to make her produce crops
OF all kinds he looked upon the forests
as thing that was in his way, at an
