Gov. Hay of Washington says:

Domestic science is conservation; the

FORESTRY AS. VOCATION.
More Places Than Persons to Fill
Them-Employes Well Paid.

From the Technical World.
young man can become forester
now just as he can become a lawyer,
minister or a doctor. except perhaps he
may have to go farther to attend pro-
fessiona school. More trained men are
needed than the schools are turning out.
The national government, with its 1885,
coo, 600 acres of national forest area, en-
ploys about 1000 foresters, rangers and
guards and needs a much larger force
Timber land owners. lumber companies,
educational institutions and states which
are beginning to take up forestry are all
seeking good men.
To be good forester a man should
combine something of the naturalist with
d good deal of the business man. He
must have the power Of observation. a
fondness for nature and the ability to
penetrate her secrets. But If he is to
succeed he must also have practical
judgment and the ability to handle men.
a forester must combine a vigorous
mind with vigorous body. He must be
of the kind that likes to get things done
and does not give up when things are not
going his way. He will have to face
difficulties and work out problems for
himself, far from outside help. relying
solely upon his own resources, supported
by his own courage. He ought to be
hard to whip.
The profe ssional forester cannot hope
for big fees and certain pleasant sur
roundings of life which crown distin-
gushed success in some other profession.
tie must be content without much lux
ury: he will have to spend good deal OF
time out of the reach OF the ordinary
comforts. He must be able and willing

longed exertion and get along well with

ew weeks of actual forest work will
tell him whether he is or not. he can

The Colored Man.
rom the Columbus Journal.

From the Columbus Journal.
In the recent municipal contest in Kan
sas City one colored man did especially
effective work, making his fight on high
grounds-no pay. no promise. no reward.
He is thus referred to by the Kansas
City Star:
1T happens that Billy Hueston has a
black skin. 1t happens that the men
whose votes he appealed for on behalf
Of the city are " the same color. But
that fact is no wise detracts from the
fine quality of citizenship of Hueston and
such as he. There are plenty of negroes
in Kansas City who are making a brave
fight for civic deeency among their own
people. Good citizens"'
That sounds good. There are lot of
colored men in this town on the same
high plane. The coIored people hold the
balance of power when it comes to poll
tics. How fine it would be If there were
some Huestons here to throw that bal
ance onto the scale for the decency and
honor of the city whenever that situation
presented ITSELF

METHODS IN A GREAT BANK.
Work Never Stops-Three Eight.
Hour Shifts of Toilers.

From Harper's Weekly.
Four big banks in the Wall street dis
trict resemble the great gold mines Of the
west in one striking feature. They have
three eight-hour shifts of toilers, and the
work never stops. One set takes up the
routine where the other leaves off. All
night long. Sundays and holidays. staff
of men in each of these banks is busy
opening thousands of letters, sorting and
listing innumerable checks and drafts that
represent fabulous sums OF money, and
getting them ready for the day force.
which Is the only one the public comes IN
contact with or ever hears about. II this
work was not carried on necessarily the
banks would soon be overwhelmed with
mountainous accumulation of detail.
Two shifts-the scouting force as
they call themselves-Work between > Ill
the afternoon and the next morning.
Each bank has big drawer in the gem
eral post office Messengers clear this of
It's letters every hour all night long. Three
thousand letters day is the average mail
of one of these large banks. Two-thirds
Of it comes in during the night. These
letters, in the case of one of the biggest
of these bfnks, contain from :o.OOO to
4O0n checks and drafts. At times these
Enclosures represent as much as $Io,OjO,-
900 Rarely does the total fall below $Sl,-
O,G,GCo-
The letters are opened as fast as they
are received. the checks are CT united and
the total verified with the foctings of the
lists. The letters are then Stamped, which
shows that they have been proven in,
as the banks call it. After that they are
turned over to the clerks who send out
the formal acknowledgements of the re-
mittances they contain. The various
checks re assorted according to the num-
bers of the books in which they are to be
entered and otherwise; the sight drafts
are grouped according to the routes OF
the banks messengers. and all Is made
ready for turning the nights accunul!ion
over to the day force. So it may be han
died by it as expeditiously as possible.
Each of these shifts of night workers
at the banks consists of from twelve TO
twenty men. Some banks get along with
but one extra set of clerks at night. These
come on duty at midnight and leave at s
am This plan CT working all night lCng
in order TO keep up with the tremendous
amount of business that comes in by mail
was inaugurated about five years ago.
The first bank that tried ii found that SO
much valuable day time was saved that
one institution after another took 1t up.
until now there are four that have these
three eight-hour shifts Of clerks and sew
eral more who work only a part Of the
