V..ni.fs Greatest Lumber Kilon.

Aiid feet wide, without a knot in

from the gigantic Or trees of the l'uget
Sound forests. These trees grow to the
euormous height of 230 feet, and the
forests arc so vast that although the
saw-mills bare been lipping r()0,OtVi,000
feet of lumber out of them every year
for tea years, the spaces male by theae
tremr ndous inroads seem no more than
garden patches, Fuget Sound has 1C0
miles of shore line, tnd a!! along this

miles and miles further than tliti eye

en forest of these enormous ticca.
TU're is nothing like it anywberu oi

places the amount of standing timber
in that area at SOO.OOO.OtiO.OOO feet, or
a thousand years' supply, eveu at th
enormous rate the timber is bein ft!!ed
and wwed. The timber tcls covers 3i,

Storage of Life.
Within each ton of ccal was stored
long before the creation of man, a defi
nite amount of heat, which, by t!"e
chemlta' process of combustTon, avay
be made available for man's use. A
barrel of wheat contains a fixed amount
of food. Electricity can now be stored,
and bought and sold in measured quan
tity. Each person has a definite amount of
stored lire, normally equal to about 100
years ; but, in most cases, our ances
tors have sqi andered much that should
have come to as, and we ourselves waste
not a little that we have actually In
herited. This waisting of our store of life is as
ssriooa a thing as it is common. It
may be done thoughtlessly or ignorant
ly. but the waste is just as IiTetrlev-
able. Tens of thousands of children
die annually, and as many more survive
with a sadly wasted yltality, simply
because their mothers do not exercise
enough care In the matter of food,
clothing, pure air, and sunshine.
Our schools waste this store by draw-
ug too largely on the brain and serves
of their pa pits through tbe competitive
systems, the worry of poblic examina
tions ; tbrongh exacting the same tasks
of the bright and of the doll, and
through lack of adequate and persistent
attention to the sanitary condition of
the school-rooms.
Sjme parents allow their children to
waste their supply of nerve force by the
incessant reading of sensational books.
or by frequent attendance at exciting
evenlnz parties, and some by not Insist-
in? on regular and sufficient sleep.
Women waste It by overwork and
woriy in their homes, and it is a very
rapid waste. Gay young ladies and fast
young men waste it at a fearful rate in
their rounds of pleasure. Only next is
the waste of hlh-livintr. eoniolned
with excessive devotion to busiaess.
Of all the professions, tbe medical
wastes the life-store most rapidly by
irregular and broken sleep. Dight expos
ure, and the constaut drain cx the sym
pathies and the nervous system. It
seems a pity that those whose ereat
work is to save and prolong the life of
others should have to do it at the ex
pense of their own.
Bock barkers.
Tretty book markers can be made.
Instead of cards. A beautiful one is
made by taking an oblong piece of cel
luloid and painting some flowers on,
or figures and In gilt and fancy letters
pat "Easter" on one oorner, and a lit
tie quotation on another ; for instance.
If yon paint pansles on, you can say
Tansies, that Is food for thoughts."
Too take a piece of satin ribbon the
width of your celluloid and loDg enough
to hare it fringed out, extending over
the celluloid bs far as you may wish,
and have some very narrow ribbon the
same ehaae aa the other, and after plac
cellnloid on the ribbon yon draw the
narrow ribbon through two boles one
each end. made on celluloid and satin,
fastening them together with a number
of little loops. It Is a beautiful thing
when finished. Any color ribbon can
be used.
Another one is made of white water
color paper. Cut a strip of paper six
Inches wide, and fold the ends toward
the centre, lacing them together with
daisy ritbon, Cnished with a bow. It
you prefer you can lace the marker at
the eide, with white or pale blue rib
bon. The word 'Easter4' is written in
large letters of gold paint and a bunch
of flowers painted on, teginning at the
centre and branching on both sides.
A dainty little Easter poem could be
put on, if desired, making the gift both
appropriate and beautiful.
Tke Tallow Tree,
The high price of tallow of animal
origin has caused the attention ot soap
and candle manufacturers to be turned
toward vegetable fata and their origin.
Tbe tallow tree is a native ot China.
It produce s a fruit which, according to
the Tee hnixhc Siffensietltr, baa a ker
nel covered with a thick layer of tallow,
and contains a yellowish aromatic oil,
useful for heating purposes. After the
fruit has been gathered, which opera
tion is effected iu south China daring
the month of July, and In northern
China in October, hot water is poured
over. When the water has cooled, the
tallow can be taken cff. as it forms a
layer upuo the surface. It is then care
fully melted and run into molds made
of bamboo cane, and it is ready for the
market. So, as our readers see, the
operations are simple and expeditious
enough. As to the product, it has a
green color, it is crystalline in struc
ture, melts at forty degrees, and pos
seasea a characteristic odd which Is cot
disagreeable.;
Long Tailed Sheep.
; There are no species of sheep Indi
geneus to Australia. The fat -tailed
sheep la found in Asia and Af
rica, in Syria, India and China, also in
liarbary, and euch large numbers are
raised in the eolony of the Cape of Good
Hope that it is often known as the Hot
tentot sheep. This sheep is of small
size, with soft and short wool. Its pe
culiar characteristic is tbe enormons
development of tbe tall, by the growth
of a large mass of fat on each side of
the lower part of this appendage. This
is sometimes so great that the tall alone
has been known to weigh seventy
pounds or more. This tall if esteemed
a great delicacy for food, and to protect
it from being injured by being dragged
on the ground, the s hepherd often
places it upon a board or a small trnck
wun wneeia, wnico is auacnea Dy a
light string harneea to the body of the
animal.

Blasting Holes for Trees to Grow in.
"Few people elsewhere in the world
tnay ever have heard of blasting boles
to plaat shade or fruit trees," said a
cultivator the other day. "yet the prac
tice is common here, and. shows good
results. Ia most places there Is found
sufficient top soil for any purpose, but
as land Las become valuable people
have cast about for means to utilize
lands where the coarse sand rock comes
too near the surface for successful tree
planting. A blast, well pnt in, creates
a pocket for broken rock mixed with
top soil, which furnishes a basin to
told moisture, as well as a deeper and
cooler hold for the roots. It is too early
to say what will be tbe ultimate results
of such planting, but in a climate like
ours, where a superfluity of rainfall is
not likely to occur, it will no' doubt be
successful."
