PINE TREES OF FINLAND.


Iuoy ana the 1troUe1 Ar4 tUo We&f<N
Of the Country.
The pine trees Of Finland are the
gold mines of the country and really
tts chief trade. Pines and silver
birches flourish on all sides. Every
thing or anything can apparently be
made of birch bark In Finland. Shoes.
baskets. large or small, salt bottles.
flower vases. even an entire suit OF
clothing Is hanging UP in Helsingfors
museum, manufactured from the bark
OF the silver birch.
The lakes OF Finland. of which there
are i've or six thousand, cover about
sixth OF the country. but these lakes,
rivers and waterways all take their
share In the wood trade. In the au-
tumn the trees are felled and left for
the first fall of snow, when they are
dragged two or three. one behind the,
other.
BY this means the trees are convey
ed to the nearest waterway, where
they are stamped with the owners
registered mark and rolled upon the
Ice Of lake or river to await the natu-
raj transport OF spring. On the voy-
age those soldiers OF the forest travel
hundreds OF miles to the coast, till
finally arriving at such an enormous
wood export station as Kotka they
meet their doom.
On the completion Of the floating
season the stock OF logs at Kotka often
amounts to 100000. On arrival at
their destination they are separated
and distributed according to the marks
Of their respective owners. Large
floating houses await their arrival. The
steam sawmills are, waiting for the
trees. As they 90 In half dozen
saws run into them at once, and out
come boards and planks Of various
| thicknesses and widths.

It IL generally agreed that dueling
took its rise from the judicial combats
Of the Celtic nations. The tirst formal
duel In England was that between VII
liam Count OF Eu and Godfrey Bay
nard about the year 1890. Dueling
was at It's height In France about
1900, though It was pretty popular a.
late as 1928, In which year Francis
l. sent a challenge to Charles v. In
England dueling was checked In the
army In 1902 and gradually disappear
ed from civil life with the coming of q
more enlightened public opinion. Duel
ing was never as popular In this coun-
try az 1t was in Europe. but never
theless many famous duels have been
fought here. The code may be said
to have received It's death sentence
when Burr killed Hamilton. The de-
cline after that was steady until 1t

Work. Work. Work The modern
"Song Of the Shirt" concerns itself
with shirts or pajamas or bath robes
IN quantities little dreamed of by
Thomas Hood. They are literally
made by the hundreds by the indus
trious Red Cross workers. All over
this country the women are busy MAX
ing these garments and yet they can
not keep up with the demand. The lat

Washington, ID. O., Is for articles by
the hundred thousand, to be used for
tho allies as well as our own men.
