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.

Tbe Care of Ibe Ears.
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 !"

Perhaps tLe greatest expeiietee cf
BulTaln Kill's life was the killing 0f
Ycllow-Hanrl, a facDou" Cheyenne
Chief, and the cor.sequfnt nami'nj 0f
War Jlonnet Creek in Wroming rrorri
that circumstance. When Gee. Ciook
was serenauicz the Sioux tribe w.tb
bullets in the summer of 1S7G liufTo
Rr.l wai his wagon master and cLief
of scovts. A courier had come it.to
Crcok's camp with the iriteliier'f-e
that youEu Sitting-Lull La-J Lroken
away frcm Red Cloud Agency wltL SOj
fighlins tucks and was then on u,e
way to join old SittLug-Kull up here ia
Montana Territory, while Vellow-lUr..,
the big CLief of tho Cheyennt-s, hai
also left his agercy without pn mission,
with 8W warriors, lxjund north ca a
similar errand. 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:'. I
bears.
Woniciu Workers In Russia.
The women in Russia do two-thirds
of the work in the rountry. 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.
