'OU CAN FIND THI3 PAPFP . 1 i 1 r au 1 ilLiLrlUli aXJ.iiU.S t.'j T'tiJ vJWl.nl ..-X .a.t.lii.-il.,; ul lueew The Economic Value of Forests Doubtless you LaTe ail seen durmg the last ten years, numerous references in newspapers, magazines, etc., to tna necessity of forest preservation. This plea, however, even ia these country, is not as novel and of as recent date as may be imagined. As far back as our colonial time?, the fear of an exhaustion of lumber supply alarmed New Eng land legislators ; and as early as 1S01, the Massachusetts Society offered its prizes for timber planting. "We may smile over the fears of those times when railroads had cof yet revolution ized methods of transportation, bring ing the whole worlc! under contribution for supplies. Yet. while those fears were premature, they were nevertheless prophetic, and the very railroads which have opened up the vast forest areas of the Northwest have brought rapidly near to us the possibility of a time when a scarcity of wood may be felt. . For the haulage over so long distances of so bulky freight, ia addition toother ob stacles, allows only a small amount of the timber growing in those distant forests to be pro Gt ably moved to market, and from fifty to sixty per cent., often even more, of the trees cut is left in the woods to rot or to furnish food for the yeany conflagrations. Even now, in the moie remote lumber camps, any part of a tree less than one foot in di ameter is considered unprofitable, and is left in the woods. But while as I will show yon farther on the fear of those early alarmists is with renewed force, and upon a more reasonable basis, sgain pressed upon ns, other considerations besides a waning lumber Bupply compel our attention to forest preservation. A vague idea that some connection existed between the forest cover and the climatic conditions of a country has been prevalent from olden times "The tref is the mother of the fountain,' or "the father of the rain," are significant expressions of the sages of old. But it was dne to the representations of such eminent natura' ists as Humboldt, Bcussingault and Becquerel, that the important and com plicated part which the forests play in the economy of nature was first clearly recogcized. And now, in the light of recent Ecientificant experiments and in vestigations, added to the historical evidence of earlier times, we are forced to consider the forests of & country in a fourfold aspect. niall and Large Farms. Our notion is that small farms well cultivated are almost invariably the most proQtable, writes J. B. Delosier, of Xewry, Pa., in the farmer, s Call. Hence, we firmly believe, what has beea so often asserted, that If many a farmer would sell half cr even more of the acres he now occupies and poorly manages, and devoted his entire time and energy to the care and cultivation of the remainder, be would derive far more profits from his labor and invest ment, with much leS3 vexation of fpiiit. The fact is we eave too many who are land poor who have so much land they cannot make a living above ex penses. The happiest and thrittiest farmers we have evf-r known live en frmsof only ten to one hundred acres. every part of which is made to coont. a the other hand, the farmer who ha eo many broid rcres that he cannot walk over them daily, wher rods of fence rjrners are never cultivated or otherwise utilized, lives a life of anxiety and worry. Instead of working like slaves and living in a miserly manner in order to run a large farm or purchase all the land that joins them, it would be wise for hosts of farmers to sell some of their broad acres and concentrate their efforts upon limited acres and look more to the comfort and happiness of ther house holds, and the proper education of their children. Even if larjre farms were more prof itable which we deny small ones are to be preferred for many and urgent riasons, not the least of which are the comfort, peace and general welfare of the owners and thir families. Larger proats are realized without much mon ey laid out on the farm. It is labor which soon takes the proCts of farming and banishes the pleasure of farm life. The Month of January. "WtKn the grass grows in Janiveer. It grows the wore! for't all the year." January is so named from the Roman Janus, v.ho was the porter of heaven, having the surname of Uatu.et, the opener. lie was represented with two faces, one of which looked, over the old ytar; the other forward to the new. He p- e tided over the beginning or open ing of eveiything, henca the first month of the year was called after him, when the Itimin year was altered by Nuroa Torrpilus (who died C72 v.. c.) from ten months beginning in March, to 12 months adding January and rcbiuar-y. In his original character Janus was the God of the sun, and worshiped as such by the Etruscacsand the Romans, The temple of Janus (which was really a covered passage or gate at Rome) was left open i'j wars as a symbol that the god had gone out to assiet the Roman arms, while it was continually shut iu the time of peace. Oa Xews Year's Day, which was the festival of god Janus, the Romans gave presents to one another. Thus ancient was the otglu of the modern custom of January festivities. "Astheday lengthens, S.) the cold strtLgthens" A warm January is regarded by the farmer with anything hut satisfaction. TIt Value of fnre Wine In Slrknem.

Never put anything into the ear for the relief of toothache. Never wear cotton in tlie ears if they are discharging pus. Nevtr attempt to apply a poultice to the inside of the caua! of the ear. Never drop anything into the ear tin less it baa been previously warmed. Never use anythine but a syringe and warm water for cleansing the ears from pus. Never strike or box a child's ears; this has been known to rupture the drum head and cause incurable deaf ness. Never wet the hair if you have aDy tendency to deafness ; wear an oiled si. k cap when Lathirg, and refrain from diving. Never scratch the tars with aryth.ng but the Cnger if they itch. Do riot use the head of a pin, hairpins, pencil tips or anything of that nature. Never let the feet become cold atid damp, or sit with the back toward the window, as these things tend to aggra vate any existing hardness of hearing. Never put milk, fat, or any oily sub stance into the ear for the relief of pain, for they soon become rancid and tend to incite inflamation. Simple warm water will answer the purpose better than anything else. Never be alarmed if a living insect enters the ear. Pouring warm water into, the canal will drown it, when it will generally come to the surface, and can be easily removed by the fingers. A few puffs of tobacco smoke blown into the ear will stupefy the icsect. Nri 7er meddle with the ear if a foreign body, such as a bead, button or seed, enters it ; leave it absolutely alone, but have a physician atteiid to it. More damage has been done by injudicious attempts at tbe extraction of a foreign body than could ever come from its presence in the ear. A Sleep for SeTeu years. Herman Haines has slept almost con tinually for seven years. He has been treated a dozen different ways, but no one has been able to break his protract ed slumber. Haines is now forty-nine years old, and ten years ago was a prosperous farmer in St. Clair county. 111. At that time be was hale and hearty. Lis weight being 180 pounds. In 1ST" he was stricken with fever and ague, and in tbe spring of 1SS0 moved to St. Charles, "Winona county, Mian. A few months after bis arrival be fell asleep, and has lived in this strange condition for more than seven years. In the summer of 184 he awoke one morning, arose from his bed, put on his clothes and went about his work. When told that he had slumbered four years Le grew indignant and would not belieye that he had slept more than a night, until led before a mirror and shown bis long black hair and beard and sunken cheeks and eyes. For a month his health and habits seemed perfect. lit went to bed at the usual hour, slept through the night and arose with the lrk. In August, 1884, bis wife became very ill, and Haines was obliged to deprive himself of needed res. One night, while taking her a cup of tea, he suddenly fell asleep, dropped tbe cup, sank to tbe lloor and bau to be taken to bis bed, from which he has never risen. He lies on bis back, bieathes naturally, and suffers little pain, but is wasting away. His weigtt if now leBS thau ninety pounds and he is no longer able to move him self in bed. About eleven o'clock every night he awakens for five or six min utes, during which time he is hurriedly given a soft boiled egg. a lit tle soup and a swallow or two of coffee his only daily nourishment. Where Hies go in Winter Some one Las asked .there do the flies go in tbe winter. This is a question of "some interest, for the natural bistory of a house fly is not generally known. Few persons know that a house fly is born fully grown and of mature size, and there are no little flies of the same species, the small ones observed occa sionally being different in kind from the large ones. The house liy does not lay eggs, but extrudes living larvic, which go through the usual transforma tions in their temporary abodes in heaps df decayed garbage, and rubbish thrown out from houses. It does not bite Or pierce the skin, but gathers its food by comb or rake or brush like tongue, with which it is able to scrape tbe varuish from covers of books, and it thus tickles the skin of persops upon wbich it alights to feed upon the perspiration. A fly is a scavenger, ana is a vehicle by wbicn contagious diseases are spread. It pois ons wound9, and may carry deadly yi rus from decaying organic matter into our food. It retires from the sight at the beginning of winter, but where it goes few persons know, If a search of the bouse is made flies will b found in great numbers secreted in warm places in tbe root or between tbe partitions or floors. We recently had occasion to ex amine the roof, and found around the chimney myriads of flies hibernating comfortably and sufficiently lively to fly when disturbed io overpowering clouds. No doubt this is a favorite winter resort for these cieatures. Prescriptions Tor Laziness. All physicians are not as frank as the doctor who, having been visited by a lazy man whs complained of dyspepsia gave him the following prescription : Wood saw. 1 Cords of wood 5 Order : To be sawed into stove lengths within thtee weeks. Nor are they so fiank as another doc tor, who was visited by a lady who said that 6he was constantly troubled with loss of sleep, loss of appetite and lan guor. The doctor wrote hei a prescription. "Follow this faithfully," sail be, "and you will be able to sleep aud eat, Tbe lady took the prefcription and went out. She had scarcely reached the stairway before she opened and read it thus ; 'Stop at the first shoe store you come to, buy six pairs of boots, and wear tbini all out in three months !" p vh icr) io INZEIS U 1 -.AW : Ofl ESTY Qenu.nelas a fED H tin tag on every plug.

Troops were out scour ing the country in every direct. on Crook's particular business bein to reach Running "Water, follow on to Kawhide Creek, cross a plateau to In dian Creek, and there meet and crush Yellow-Hand or drive him back to t:.e acrency. Arriving on the plateau mentioned clouda of Indians could Le seen far away in the dim distance, and one of the officers predicted that everybody ;a the civilized command would e killed Tiiere were five companies of infantrv and one troop of cavalry, the latter making a detour and coming arcutid ahead of the wsgon-tiain in line of battle, while the mule whackers wfe ordered to dismount and fight ly their mules. All this took time. At last the red men drew quite tear, whrn from their hosts rode out in front of the lines, halting midway, a magnifi cently equipped and gaudily decoratel Indian, his handsome war bonnet failed with eagles' feathers trailing behind, and a bhinicg "Winchester rifle resting on the angle of his arm- He proudly Sit on his steed and surveyed the pale faces with insjlence and scorn. Then, uttering a war whoop of defiance, the chief taiu raised his rifle fired one thot at his enemies. The rhalleDger was Yellow-Hand. His riding forth alone, delivering but a Bingle shot, and that in the face of his enemies, the uttering of a defiant war whooi all this meaut nothing more or less than a challange to a duel. "Was there no one a.norg all those white soldiers to take up the gauntlet so defiantly thrust at them ? 1 or a moment everything was still not a sound was heard ; the Indian meanwhile striding majestically bt fore them and awaiting the result 0! his shot. Then all at once from the white men's lines dashed a sinzle horseman with his rifie carried at a ready, who rode obliquely along the front of the line, then turning sudden ly toward the champion standing alone and ready to receive him. Troops and Indians watched with interest tbe out come of the fight, for it tnertDt a duel to the death. Yellew HaDd started his pom gallopirg in a circle, lyins far on the opposite side, according to abariginal st'le of fighting from Loise back, and fired shot after shot quickly and rapidly at his pale-face i.Jvers.uy. Kuffalo Kill sat on hiB steed like a Centaur and only pulled the trigger when there was some reason for it, preferring not to waste a shot unless 1 here wa3 some chance of hitting. Gradually the circle became smaller, and the faster Yellow Hand fired his Wiiices:er, always loading his maga zine and manipulating his piece whi:e lying longside his flying animal. Wl.- n the distance had been lessened to about 1"0 yards, and when JiulTalo Kill had been grazed more than once ty Lis enemy's lead, the latter suddenly halted his horse, took a quick and accurate a:m at the circling pair, and pulled tte trigger. Djwn went the rider and st ei d, rolling over in the dnst, both of them shot to the death. Kushirg for ward, the white sccut leaped from his horse, and, whipping out a long krtn hunting knife, scalped the great war rior in full sight of both armies. With the loss of tbfir leader the ' spirit of the ludians was broken. They could not fight after that calamity, tte scalping of their favorite chief utterly and teetotally breaking their savage hearts. Xhey gave up the scheme cf joining the other hostiles in Montana and burrif d back to their own agency, scattering provisions and plunder ty the way. That night the trooi3 camped in Indian Creek, and in homr of Kuffalo Kill's great achievement and handsome trophy taken from Yellow-Hand's head, the name was chaaged frcm Indian Creek to War lionnet Creek, which latter title it si:'.

There are immense wheat, oat and hay fields everywhere, and in August there is a great activity in the country. The large majority of persons at work are women. They wear short dresses, plain and straight, and a long piece, of cloth ovr their heads, like the Arabs. Thd wheat 19 sown broadcast, and if not cut by ttie women with sickles is harvested with the old fashioned sythe, which has a two pound snead and a bioad, short blade. From the snead up to the handle there is a wooden bow something like, in appearance, the half of a heavy bar rel hoop. This bow keeps the wheat, etc., from falling back over the scythe baiidlo and scatterng. I have r.evtr yet seen a man who would deign to gather up, bind and stack the wheat or oats when once it was felled. The women must do this while the men di the "gentlemanly" woik, although I have seen many women cutting the grain with the syihe. The neighbors club together in harvest and help o::e another. A Itussian harvesting rendezvous is qiute lively, and is the scene of a motly crowd. The old men acd young by and girls, with their mo'.heis. grand mothers and aged women, assemble at daybreak. There are a number of horses, ou which are carried water, food and extra implements. Tho horses, the boys and men ride, while the old women walk. They always- carry the scythes, f irks and hkes back and forth every day, and work as Pu g as there is ilay light ; and till t":"u p.m., the hours of labor are lorg one. n
