Mast Trees

From Harper's Weekly.
In the provincial charter of 1891,
under which the Plymouth colony and
the province of Maine We're united
with Massachusetts, 1t was provided
that all trees of the diameter of "a
inches and upward, ~ inches from the
ground growing upon land not here
tofore granted to any private person.
should be reserved to the crown for
the furnishing of masts for the royal
navy
surveyor general of woods was ap-
pointed to see that this provision OF
the charter was carried into effect
Near the coast all white pines of suit
able dimensions were marked with the
broad arrow"--three cuts through the
bark with an AK, like the track of a
crow This was the Kings mark.
Long after the revolution had OBJ
liberated the royal authority, men who
had been taught in boyhood to respect
the Kings mark hesitated to cut such
trees
In telling a tree it was necessary to
bed 1t" to prevent its breaking. This
was done by cutting the small growth
and placing the small trees across the
hollow, so that there should be no
strain upon one section more than upon
another when the monster pine struck
the ground
The mast was hauled out of tue
woods on one strong sled, whether in
winter or summer, and SO many oxen
were required that the hind pair were
often ehoked In crossing hollow, be-
ing hung up in their yoke by the pull
ing of those ahead of them.
A mast-hauling was a great event,
and everybody within walking distance
came to see 1t.

New WAY to Spot Founders.

With good deal of persistency the sug-
gestion is at present being made in va
rious quarters that the finger print sys-
TEN of identification be extended be-
yong the narrow use to which il has so
far been limited-the detection of the
major criminal. In this connection New
York IS believed to be the only place
where the impression becomes a part of
the magistrates record TO enable him to
detect a new offender from an habitual
one.
1t is in the night court for women that
this use is made of the finger print. And
it Is the success of the system there
which the advocates of its extension cite
as one of their arguments.
With this experience TO point to, Joseph
II. Williams of the criminal courts COM
mittee of the New York Charity Organi-
cation society asks the Survey, why tine
use OF finger prints should not be APP
piled to all minor offenses. I'm a study of
inebriety made about three years ago,
Bailey b. Burritt of the State Charities
Aid association discovered that men had
been convicted in the magistrates courts
for intoxication and sentenced to the
workhouse as often as 40, so and even Go
times. Nevertheless, IL one of these men
was convicted again tomorrow and chose
ogive fictitious name, which is a COM
mon practice in the criminal courts, there
would be nothing whatever in the court
records TO distinguish him from a first
offender. Without some such reliable
record ON hand how is it possible for the
judge to make an intelligent disposition"
The cost of installing and operating this
system for one year is placed at about
$1,000 But the establishment of the sys-
tenn. it is argued would cause a saving
in another direction. In the study of MIR.
Burritt, II was shown that one "rounder''
had cost the city more than $500, another
$500. another $500 and fourth $751; 1T
is safe to say, concludes Mr.. Williams,
''tha the wiser dispositions made possible
