FOREST Eiaures.

The quantity of lumber cut every
year In the United States Is three
times the natural growth. At the
present rate Of destruction the forests
viii have disappeared In less than a
generation. The enter OF the lumber
districts has been pushed rapidly
westward until today II has reached
the state of Washington, and Is APP
preaching the Pacific coast. Every
year some 10000, 000. 900 cubic feet OF
wood is cut In the United States. the
crop being valued at nearly $1,000
100000. The most serious drain upon
the forest %esource Is for railroad
ties. and the demand Is constantly in
creasiDg. In spite OF the apparently
universal use Of coal for heating. the
United States still burns up IN the
course Of a year 10000. 900 cords OF
wood. There are mt present upward
OF 200 1000 acres OF land set aside
as national forest land In the United
States. Alaska and Porto Rico The
government appropriates more than
$5.O00,0O0 a year to protect and cnlti-
vate these forest laDds.-Boys' Life.

Wit THAT LIVES
Collection of the Best of Mark
TWain's Humor.
Gathered by Albert BigeIow Paine,
the Great Humorist's Best Friend
His Brilliancy as Editor Of
Agricultural Paper.

Albert Bigelow Paine, who was q
constant companion of Mark Twain
for years, who wrote his life and re-
Gently edited his letters, has now gone
through the writings OF the humorist
and CLEANED the choicest bits. These
bits, the distilled wisdom of many vol
umes," he has brought out in a small
book called moments With Mark
Twain" The following extract, How
1 Edited an Agricultural Paper" Is
taken from his sketches written In
1S65-67:
In about half an hour an old gentle
man, with a flowing beard and a fine
but rather austere face, entered, and
sat down at my invitation. He seemed
to have something on his mind. He
took off his hat and set ii on the floor,
and got out a red silk handkerchief
and a copy of u paper.
He put the paper on his lap, n
while he polished his spectacles with
his handkerchief, he said, Are you
the editor?"
/ said | was.
"Have you ever edited an agricul-
tural paper before?"
mo" l said, this is my first at
tempt"
every likely. Have you had any ex-
perience in agriculture, practically"
"No; / believe / have not"
"Some instinct told me-" said the
old gentleman, putting on HIS specta-
Giles and looking ove them at me with
asperity, while he folded his paper
into a convenient shape. IL wish TO
read you what must have made me
have that instinct. 1t was this edi-
torial. Listen, and see IL IL was you
who wrote 1T:
"'Turnips should never be pulled |;
II Injuries them. 1t is much better to
send a boy up and let him shake the
tree
snow. what do you think OF that?-
for ! really suppose you wrote It,"
think Of it, why, / think II Is
good. / have no doubt that every year
millions and millions of bushels Of
turnips are spoiled In this township
alone by being pulled in a half-ripe
condition, when II they had sent a
boy up to shake the tree"
"Shake your grandmother Turnips
don't grow on treesl"
"Oh. they don't, don't they? Well.
who said they did? The language
was intended to be f%gurative, wholly
figurative. Anybody that knows any
thing will know that l meant that
the boy should shake the vine."
Then This old person got up and tore
his paper all into small shreds, and
stamped on them. and broke several
things with bis ane and said ! did
not know as much as a COW; and then
went out and banged the door after
him. and, In short. acted I'm such a way
that | fancled he was displeased about
something. But not knowing what the
trouble was, / could not be'any help to
him.

Graves in House Of Commons

Fonr graves. with real grass grow

exhibit even in the tea room of the

apartment there have been for sew
1eraI days past displayed models of the
war graves, which have been designed
for the war graves commission. which

STUDENT LEAGUE
 VERY ACTIVE AT
 HOLIDAY SEASON

There is probably no other body of girls in this city so active in welfare work in this city as that huge group of High school girls who form the or ganlzatlon known as the Students League of the Bridgeport High School.
 At every holiday. whether it is patriotic or a sacred one, the benev- o!ent and far-reachfng spirit of these girls Is felt in the orphan asylums, hospitals or charitable homes Yet their work is not a recent and infant venture. During the war they helped nobly and periodically at numerous times. Recently on Armistice day the Jroup sold a large number Of poppies for the benefit of the ex-soI- diers.
 In speaking of the work of the League, Miss Katherine Murphy. the president, said, "Our work is pro- gressing very rapidly and satisfac- tor1ly. The League is known all over

After Baby Comes,
 What?

The advent of the first-born into a. household is enormously exciting to the father and mother, and if one can believe in signs, to baby himself. it is rather exciting. It is true he has only gurgles of content, or howls of woe to express himself, so We can not expect to learn much from him. But with the young parents it is quite different-they can say what they think-but rarely do.
 It. was pretty little nest of a home and when Tom, who was in. France, thought of this home and Edith, he earth. And it was, for something over a year. Then, presto, change!
 Within a short time the atmosphere of the place was changed entirely had dispelled the complete serenity with a few walls of woe.
 To Edith the baby was unalloyed delight. To Tom it had brought a
 tension, as it were. If baby cried, he was sure something was, wrong
 with it and the doctor ought to be 1 summoned. Edith knew she could soon began to feel that he was out
 of the game entirely. The baby | seemed to have stolen Edith from him. She was so wrapped up in her | new love that she had become blind to his needs.
 It is just here that sometimes the coming of the baby, instead of linking
 two young people together as it should, will cause what in the long
 run amounts to a serious estrange-
 ment. To guard against this trag- edy is far more the mothers job than the fathers.
 To the Ediths of the world it may seem unjust. Mothering the baby is enough, without having to mother hubby" too. Well, it just can't be l helped! They just must do, it, and shoulder both tasks before it is too | late to remedy the results of neglect ing Tom for his understudy, From, | Jr"
