sCEUB PINE FOR PAPER MAKING
Long Neglected Tree Has a Fibre Fit
Perhaps For Ledgers.

The long neglected scrub or Jersey
pine, growing on abandoned farms
and cut-over land of the East seems
destined at last, the Forestry Bureau
reports, to have reached its rightful
place as a material of value, accord
ing to the results obtained through
recent pulp and paper making tests
at the forest service laboratories at
Washington.
Scrub pine might have been used
to good advantage long ago, but it
did not seem to the practical paper
maker worthy of trial. BY only
slight changes of the treatment Or
dinarily accorded pulp wood in the
sulphite process, It has now yielded
a pulp product which it is thought
can be used as a substitute for spruce
sulphite in the manufacture of news
paper.
One advantage for paper making
which scrub pine is said to have is the
fact that there is less loss in barking
II than with ordinary spruce. The
wood yields quite easily to the sui
phite treatment.
The fibre is strong and durable.
The yields obtained by the forest SER
vice are about the same as those OBJ
tanned from woods now in general
paper making use.
Practical paper makers Who have
seen this product are almost unani-
nous in claiming 1t to be a strong,
long-hbred and hard wearing pulp,
which seems especially desirable for
making bag, news and wrapping pa
pers. Several even went so far as to
say that it would make fine bank
or ledger papers when properly ham
died, and that this wood gave one of
the best fibres which has been pre-
pared from pine wood.

her babies? Mortality statistics tell
an awful story of the waste of I'm.
man energy witnessed by the high
death rate among infants. Almost
one-fourth of those who die annu.
ally in this country are babies under
the age of FIVE years Almost one.
fifth are infants not one year old!
The life of a child under two years
old in New York City is computed by
economists to be worth exactly
s69.45. Why so little? Because OF
the unlikelihood of its growing to
manhood. It has practically no life
expectancy, therefore no insurance
company will insure a child under
two. The courts have repeatedly de.
clared that the life of a baby was
worth absolutely nothing, when pa
rents have sued for redress for a baby
run over in the streets! Just last
week a baby was run over in a crowd
ed street not far from here, and
killed. SO angry were the people
that they dragged the man off his
wagon and would have torn him to
pieces had not the police interfered.
Yet every day in that same street,
dirty milk is sold, contaminated
meats bought, dust and dirt and gar
bage spread in the air, to kill hun
dreds Of babies. and not a finger Of
protest IS raised! 1t is not because
people do not value babies, but be-
cause they do not see what 1t is that
kills them.
This is a matter for State legisla-
lures and boards of health. So long
as ignorance persists, so long will the
law be evaded; and no attempt at en-
forcement, however persistent, can
avail. A campaign Of education is in
order, so that no parent. no citizen
Of this country, can fail to know that
carelessness in sanitation means lit
orally slaughter of innocents,-The
Delineator.

CONFIRMED MAN Halter,

Miss Harriet Evans, an elderly
spinster on whom an inquest was held
at Hackney, was said to have been a
confirmed man hater. "She was so
much against men that she would
not have a coin with kings head on
it, her landlady said. IF one was
given her she would throw 1t into the
fire. She would only deal in money
bearing Queen Victorla's head" Miss
Evans went to the Office of a local
newspaper some time ago, but re-
fused to enter it until woman was
sent to transact business with her.
An advertisement for apartments
which she published stipulated that
there should be no man in the house.
She even declined to receive letters
because the stamps bore the Kings
head.-Pall Mall Gazette.

Gertrude had always felt bit con-

were agitated violently and the head
of Lady Creech popped out Of the case
ment with the suddenness Of Punch.
From the keen look on her face one
might have imagined that had It not
been for her deafness she might have
heard every word Of the conversation
that had gone on below her. As It was,
after gazing anxiously IN the direction
of the road she withdrew her head
sharply and within minute came out
Of the door Of the hotel just In time to
encounter Horace and Nine. de Cham
pigny coming in from the grove. She
approached them at once.

Horace looked at her with surprise.
ION the other side Of the garden,
Lady Creech," he answered, down
there on the terrace" and watched,
with some amusement, the speedy ef-
forts Of the grim old lady as she hur-
ried OF. The amusement. however,
rapidly gave place to q more interest
ing pastime. for, summoning all his
callow courage, he set himself vigor-
ousiy to hint at possible union be-
tween himself and the noble countess.
It was evident from the first word
that the lady was prepared for him
and that, while she intended to offer
him every bit Of encouragement In her
power. she would not be satisfied with
anything short Of definite proposal
and more likely before witnesses IL
possible
He made his initial move with some
gayety. She returned his banter with
a mock seriousness and In answer to
his challenge on her somber mood re-
piled:
"But I cannot believe you are al
ways serious, my friend"
Try me-" he demanded eagerly.
"Set me some task to prove how seri-
GUS am" She smiled at him.
Gladly she said. Complete this

sistance Of this bad man who 90 trou-

Horace took her hand and murmur-
ed:
You promise me that when it is set
tied may speak to you
Yes. You may speak to me-when
you please" And at the words he
kissed her hand rapturously.
In the meantime the suddenly reju-
venated Lady Creech had found her
brother-in-law and had impaired to
him words of the utmost Importance.
She had temporarily forgotten her
DEAFNESS, Or else the agitation that pos
sessed her had removed It, for she was
bordering upon "a state Of mind"
She walked him back to the hotel
when she found him and talked con-
tinuously all the way. and as she
talked his excitement grew to match
her own. AS they approached the gar
den Lady Creech said to him:
