STONE AND THE FORESTS. rnder Governor Stone's administra tion trreat strides are being made In the movement to protect and develop the forests cf Pennsylvania, in the in terest primarily of the farmers, and lor the preservation of the water ways of the comuonwealth. Dr. J. T. Roth rock, the st?te forestry commissioner, has Just completed the purchase of 60. C00 acrt-i of land, to become a great rerervation for the preservation of the forests of the state. He says that the forestry corcmUsion has 40.000 addi tional acres in view, which he hopes to secure soon. A large tract of the new purchase, he states, lies in Centre and Clicton counties, adjoining the Girard and Roudinot tracts, already held by the city of Philadelphia, and affording a continuous stretch of 43. 000 acres of land, "pleasing a perpet ual park to posterity and a new life to the state." Dr. Rothrock, ia com monting upon thi3 subject, said: "It is cot often that a reformation as large as this has been accomplished In the lifetime of the generation which started the movement. The forenry cruse, however, is won in Pennsylva nia. It ir. net a question now as to whether the work of restoring cur lum bering industries p.nd the normal Cow of vater in our streams shall be under rnhen. for that is already decided upon.

She Is a woman who has led the s'.itnuous life for ve!L it is he.rdly the conventional th!ng to mention years when one Is sneaking of & woman's work, but ber hair U snowy white, although prematurely so. It was about two years ago that Mrs. Conner, inking ber typewriter and a ridiculously small amount of baggage besides, started off to see things and write about what she saw. The Klon- ) dike was just then the most talked alxut part of the g!o!e. So to the Klondike went Mrs. Couuer. The way was not easy. There was no railroad over C'hllkoot then. The trltj up the Yukon was long and bazardocv She made It. however. She reached Iaw son. - Now.- one docs not see gold dug In the streets of Dawson. The claims are miles out on the creeks. The trails were at that lime such as mitue strong men weary. Rat Mrs. Conner had not gone all that distance to "-ee a mining lewn. She wanted to st-e the miners at work. She wanted to see them washing gold. And she did. She slept 3 vns. eliza Alien ai:o coxvf.r In a miners' shanty. She dined with J hem. drank coffee from tbeir tiu cup aud ate beans from their tiu plates. She dug out a nugget all by herself. She tnlUed with successful argonauts and with Ihose who were discouraged. Homesick men who were digging out fortunes tohl her what they were go ing to !o "when they came out." and lesperate men who had failed talked to her of their loved ones left behind. Much of the pathos and more of the humor Mrs. Conner confided to ber typewriter, and the types painted a true picture of the life of the Klon dike. The types do this when an artist touches them. Then Mrs. Conner left the Land of the Miduight Sun and started for the Land of the Chrysanthemum. She sail ed from San Francisco to Japan. At Honolulu she stopped for a time and looked up some of the facts In connec tion with the last days of her cowork er and friend. Kate Field, who died. It will be remembered, while visiting Hawaii. She also visited the principal islands and descended the crater of the volcano Kilanea. ()T Yokohama the steamer which had carried Mrs. Conner into the orient met a typhoon. During the ensuing disturbance, wbea the great ship was U-Ing tossed about like a cork on the mighty waves. Mrs. Conner was thrown down a companion way. Her right arm was broken at the elbow, the worst sort of break. Here was a mis hap which would have sent most wo men, and many men for that matter, back to home and friends. But Mrs. Conner never thought of turning back. She went to the hospital In Yokohama and told the surgeous to do their best and do it ns quickly as possible. In the meantime there was war In the Philippines. Mrs. Conner. Ignoring the fact that her right arm swung useless in splints, was anxious to go. As soon as possible she took a steamer for Hongkong and hurried from there to Manila. Once there she went alKr.it seeing all that was to be seen. Wo meu had !een barred from the firing line, of course. She was told that it would Ik1 useless to ash for a pass to the front. Rut she made friends with privates and ofTn-ers and gained her jKiint. She went to the firing line. She heard the bullets whistle. She sat In the trenches and watcher! the meu load and fire. She saw the wounded and the dead. Then she went back to her typewrit er. There was the correspondence to lie done and only one good hand to do It with. The liest one was out of com mission. Resides, there was the pain. Ohl bones do not knit as readily an noting ones. Rut with only one hand Mrs. Conner wrote column after col umn. Forty was the total mimlier she turned out with her left hand. She did not Intend to let a little thing like a broken arm keep ber In Idleness. How many men do you f.uppose would have done the same? Tbey are as few as women. After leaving Manila Mrs. Conner started westward. A P. ami O. steam er took ber lo Ceylon, through the Red Hca and Suez canal Having made a Bl)ort s,n.v a Marseilles, she went to the Island of Jersey, where she has been enjoying a season of well earned rest, although even there r.he has U-en by no means Idle, for "Work and Hoi-" Ir the mono o which she has adhered always. Rut Mrs. Conner ban teen a pioneer fei other things besides taking a type writer around the world. As the daughter of aa Ohio farmer she start ed out lo live a different life from J that k-d by the girls she knew. She i began by teaching school, and when the found that as Instructor of lan guages in a high school the prospects before her were still narrow she went J Into Journalism. Her apprenticeship In the profession of letters was passed In the office of ! the Ciuciuuaii' Commercial under Mr. ' Mural Halstcad. Since then she has filled almost every post that can lie ' round iu an editorial room. She has bees a police court reporter, an ed itorial writer and the editor of various departments, from women's pages to agricultural columns. She has written history aud fiction. Mrs. Conner has always preached that woman was man's equal, and she has practiced what she preached. For years she has lcn active in the wo j man' suffrage movement and Is to j day recognizi-d as one of those who J have done much "for the advancement of the sex.' She is a veteran member of Sorosis.

Why men t"uld support thefr wives Is a question tT: la petting a consid erable share of attention In the public prints, and the discussion of It brings many curious facts to the surface. Among these was the story of the melancholy discovery made by the heirs of an old Massachusetts farmer some yearn ago. nis young lielrs be ing gn-edy. they endeavored to prevent the wiJow from enjoying the life use of a third of the estate. To their de light they discovered that the farmer had Imposed an Illegal ceremony upon the misuspectlns. woman and that, then-fore, she was not bis widow. The case apjH-ared to be a snrely winning one for I hem. and accordingly they brought suit. The Judge appreciated the sad iositIon of the du;ed ohl wo man, who had done the old man's housework for years and who was now threatened with loss of home. He ad vised the defendant to bring suit for services which the old man was not entitled to. as she was not his wife. Actfng iion this advice, the old wo man made out a bill at current wage rate by the week for all the years she had performed the housework. The court allowed the claim, which It tool: the entire estate to pay. and there was consequently nothing whatever left for the heirs. The Incident is Interesting and Illus trative. Large numbers of Idle wo men are supported by their husbands, but as Alice Stone Rlackwell showed In one of her admirable contributions to current sociology published In The Sun the census of ISiM) gives 12.(tX.12 i as the total of families In the United State and only 1.434. 791 persons em ployed as domestics, less than one servant to 11 families, even if no fam ily kept more than one. Measured, therefore. In dollars and cents the services of a wife and mother as general honscworkcr. child's nurse, child's seamstress and dressmaker and the work the woman does for the chil dren are a legitimate credit for her ac count, for in all but eight states ihe children are regarded as the exclusive property of ihe husband, since the sole control and disposal of them Is vested la him as long as he and his wife live together. Such tl'.is agnlnst husbands rould lie presented for their Inspection ns would put an effectual stop to the pretense that they are really support ing their wives. Boston Herald. Pacta For Splaatera. Some one Is proposing a husbands' union for the protection of birsbanda. Just what they seek to be protected from is not yet stated. But the anion Is intended for all the downtrodden of the hind thnt Is. of the male portion. Possibly the union Is to be founded on the same lines ns the school for wives lately established In England. Still lietter are the marriage schools which are lielng developed in Germany on very practical lines. It Is for girls and women only, and the value of such a training cannot lie overestimated. Girls leave the marriage school com petent to undertake the management of a house and a husband. The girls who have graduated from these r-chools have leen extra lucky in get ling married, so It Is said. Another society which has been or fnniJsed In Denmark Is the CHibncy Insurance society. Its object Is to pro vide for those women who cither can not or will not provide thcnisclvi-s w-lth husbands. The premiums, which are at various scales, begin at the age of 1.1 and end at 40. a period at which It Is supposed most of the member will have abandoned any thought of marriage. Such being the case, the woman reeelv- an annuity for life. If. however, she marries at any time after or U-fore 40. she forfeits all her claims. With the profits thus accru ing by chance or purpose the society hope lo provide for Its members doom ed to single bh-sseduess. Old ma ils In the United States are uttrtuilievi by the bachelors, al though It Is popularly supposed, that tbtf contrary Is the case. To come to exact fig ires, there are 7.427.707 bache lors and 3.14.I'J4 spinsters. This is UKn the authority of a goverr-neut re port. Even in Massachusett..here It was thought that old maids constitute a large proportion of the population, they could each tint) a husband and then not exhaust the stock of single men. for there are 22U.0S5 men and ou!y 210.2,"5 wouieu who have not yet entered into the bonds of matrimony.

Ralph Waldo Emerson, In his essay on Heroism. says that genuine hero ism Is persistence.

The child heard the family talking their na tive language, which he could not un derstand, aud that made him have a sort of superstitious fear or them. S Mr. Emerson used to walk lo uud rrom school with Ihe little fellow. But one day be decided that the child was old enough lo overcome his fear and pass the bouse of tbe French family by himseir. He went to sc hool, with the lad and told him that he must return alone. Arter school was dismissed Waldo walked manfully toward home until he had uearly reached the French house. Then he stopjied. and. leaning against the fence. Iw-gan to whimiier. Miss Elialt'th Hoar, a uelghlior. saw hi:i and went to his rescue. "Come. Waldo. I am going your way. and you can walk with inc." said she. The child looked u.i tearfully Into ber eves a moment ami l lieu said in the most doleful voice. "I don't ihinfc that was what my father meant for me to do." Then he trudged ou by him self. In such ways Ikj.vs and girls may prove their heroism in the little duties of life. "Thla Little Pla Tame Home." A correspondent of a New Jersey friend writes lo him Unit be has a very sensible pig. He savs lie had more pigs than be wanted to keep, so he sold one to a i;i:in living in a ncighhortn village.

A wee little lady who lives In a sub urb saw and heard a donkey for the first time the other day while out for a walk with her aunt. She talk.tl aloui It continually after getting home. It was "such a boofu" donkey" and "such a good donkey' ami so on through her small store of adjH-lives. When her father came home at night, he beard the story over agaiu. with a renewal of the adjectives. "And so you liked the donkey, dar ling, did you?" he asked, taking the tiny lass on his knee. "Oh. yes. papa; I liked him that Ir. 1 liked him pretty well, but I didu: like to bear him donk." A Clever Horse. At a farm one of thtlorses was con stantly escaping from Its stable at night, and It was thought some boys had leeu playing pranks and let It out. The farmer decided to sleep in the hay loft to discover. If he could, how it was managed. He found the horse broke the halter, went to the door, pulled the latch up and galloped Into a field near with tbe cows and sheep, and so the mystery was explained. Sachets to lay among the contents of a bureau drawer may be made by filling small muslin hags with a mix ture made by pounding to a fine pow der one ounce each of caraway seed, cloves, mace, nutmeg, cinnamon and tonka beans and orris root sufficient to equal the weight of all the other In gredients. Stitched velvpt is having an enor mous vogue In Paris. A stitched vel vet underskirt with' fringe edged cloth tunic and a smart cloth Iks! ice with stitched velvet yoke and sleeva top is quite the rage. It Is astonishing what a variety this invariable combination can produce Flowers no longer are scattered over the table, but are bunched together at the center. In fact, blossoms are rare ly used at all. The popular thing for the moment Is a handful of green ferns or some growing green plant.
