Casabianca the bey who stood on the burning deck whence all but him had fled was only ten years old at the tme he met his death. His father was captain of the/ Orient, the flagship of Napoleons fleet and during the bat tie of Ahukir Bay In 179s was competed to assume command of the whole fleet because the admiral had been killed
 The death of the brave boy who re- mained steadfast until the vessel was destroyed by an explosion, rather than leave without the express command of his father, who lay too deeply wounded to hear his son's cry aroused much sympthy and admiration. Mrs Hemans expressed the general feeling in the closing words of her often parodied poem:

has not come about because the for
ests have been used so freely but be-
cause of the failure tG use forest
growing land. In a nutshell, the prob
lem is that the United States is cut
ting wood out of its forests three or
four times as fast as 1t is being grown.
Much Of the land on which timber
stands or has been cut off will always
be forest land. 1t is ample to grow
all the wood needed for the use of the
people of this country and for export
trade In lumber and products manu-
featured from lumber, if the land can
be kept at work growing trees. Tim
Der for the future is simply a matter
of putting idle land to work.
Every reasonable announcement
should be given to the landowner TO
grow timber on his own account in
the ways best suited to his own pur-
poses, but by some means or other the
public must see to 1t that forest lands
not needed for agriculture do not lie
idle. The regulations imposed must
he reasonable and equitable. Obvi-
ously the owner of the land cannot do
it all. The public must aid him in
the hazard of forest fires
and must recognize that. the present
methods of taxing forests in many
regions are equivalent to taxing
farm crop twice week during the
growing season.

The new demand outside of the reg

and they see the need of proper in
dexing for all this material, and for
making IL available for immediate use
as the books In library are available.
Aside from the bigger concerns are
such clients as a lawyer or q doctor
with large practice. Such men WIN
often have whole library that il use
less unless properly indexed.

But a librarians training is proving

Timber depletion has now reached n

iifths of the primeval forests are gone
and where 81 per cent of the timber

ISOLATION OF Commerce.
Liberal use of American forests was
necessary part of the commercial
growth of this nation, Colonel Greeley
believes, but refOrestatiOn should have
been practiced, if not from the start,
at least in late years. There is an
abundant area of forest land in this
country to support all industries, and
u liberal supply of wood is most nee
essary TO the people of this country.
II was thought that, like the European
countries, We would use, when our civ
iliZation was older, but one-third or
One-half as much wood per capita as
we did in the early days. But this
rule does not affect the American peo-
pie. The older the states and COM
munities in this country grow the
more timber they seem to require in
one form or another.
Demand Continues to Grow.
Many substitutes have been devised
for wood, and yet the great demand
of the country for timber continues TO
grow. More wood is used in construc-
ton today than before the discovery
of concrete, and more wood is used in
building railway cars than before the
steel or part-Steel car was developed
This is apparently true in nearly every
industry. e.

fruit worm. 1t doesn't often become
serious pest but occasionally 1t has
been known to take a whole crop.
The worm eats into the partly grown
berry and feeds on the pulp. Hand
picking Is still the method used to hold
this worm in check. Poultry ought to
be turned into the gooseberry patch
after the fruit is picked, as the hens
will do a lott toward clearing the
worms from under the trash. Poultry
and fruit are good combination
when run right.

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
YANkEE."

VIZ HILE the genesis Of the
w term Yankee" as applied
by the English to Americans In
general, by Southerners to those
residing in the North and by
Northerners to New Englanders,
is shrOuded I'm the mists Of
colonial antiquity, there are at
least two explanations which
bear the ear-marks of truth and
logic.
The first, and most generally
accepted Of these, Is that the
word Is corruption of the
French Anglais or English"
used by the northern Indian
tribes during the early days Of
the colonies. History states that
"Yengeese" was as close as the
Indians could come to the pro-
nunciation either Of the word
"Anglais" or English" and 1t
is easy to see how this, in turn,
could have become transmitted
into Yankee"
Another explanation, a trifle
more scholarly, is that Yankee
came either from the Scotch
"yankie" meaning smart or
shrewd or from the Dutch
"Jankin," which was the diminu-
tive of Jan or John. One au-
thority goes so far as to declare
that "Jankin" was the generic
name applied to the English set
tiers of Connecticut by the
Dutch settlers of New York.
The first known use of the
term in print occurred In a
poem entitled Oppression"
published in 1865, in which ap-
peared the line From meanness
first the Portsmouth Yankee
rose" The coupling of the
words Portsmouth and Yankee
would appear to bear out the
contention that the term was
one applied principally to New
Englanders and therefore orig
inally of Dutch origin.
