The Cull lire et Our Forests.
Ocrmantewn Telegraph.
There is a jircat ileal of talk about tbe
changes of climate going ou in Europe
aud America as the result of the continual
clearing off of forests, and the figures we
often sce would seem te support this view,
but new and then there seem te be figures
en the ether fcide which go te tell another
.story, and the simple looker en does net
knew what te uebeve ; and it generally
docs result in pcisens having no belief at
all. They de net kuew whether the for
ests aiea is decreasing, or whether' the
climate is or is nut undergoing a change.
When we remember that there is a consid
erable amount of planting going en in
every state, some millions for fruit, mil
lions mere for shelter aud ornaments, and
still mere millions for timber alone, we
ought net te be se badly oft'. The forest
fires destroy large quantities yearly ; but
these tracks burned ever generally pro
duce a new growth, and the young trees
arc coming en for the future iu ninny
cases as truly as if young trees were
planted. It is very often the case when
the trees are cut away for timber, the land
is net therefore cleared of weed ; it grows
again and iu time comes in. This is the .
case with numerous Pennsylvania weeds.
We knew of some that have been cut twice
since the settlement of the state, and the
third crop is new being cut for many use
ful purposes.
The greatest diminution is going en in
forest lauds out of the way of settlements,
and where peiliaps the trees would be of
little value for very many years, and per
haps be en the read te decay before tl.cy
come into profit. Here it is manifestly for
the benefit of the settler and of the ceuntiy
that the weeds should be cleared entirely
oft' for grain-cultuie, leaving euly enough,
as is generally done, for the wants of the
next twenty years or se.
On the whole we doubt whether there is
se much room for anxiety as se many net
well acquainted with the facts evince. We
are net doing se well at replanting as we
might ; but we are yet doing pretty well,
and with the stimulus and encouragement
of societies, which give sound information
and wise advice which arc se careful of
facts that the world learns te rely en them
and fellow where they lead we hardly
expect that we shall ifealize the prophecy
of a wild sort of lecturer recently, who as
serts that " as we are new going en, iu
ten ycais our forest area will be almost
gene, and the new powerful republic will
be struggling with Nature, striving te
make a desert of our new fair land !"
Tlie Pour.
It a fact well-worthy of cote that no
matter hew peer may be the season for
some one fruit or another, iu Pennsylvania
at least, if net ether states, the pear trce
always has fiuit. There are of course
some years when lliere aie mere than
otheis, but it is the rarest of all events iu
this part of the world for a pear tree, after
it gets te a fair mature bearing age, net te
have en all the pears it is fit for it te bear.
The cherry may shrivel, blacken and fall,
and even the apple may be full of proinise
aud yet yield us next te nothing ; but the
pear seems te be always ou hand. It is
true that as a matter for commercial
growers of fruit, the apple will always be
king, as we have se often contended.
They can be barreled, sliced and
dried, cidercd, aud saved and turned
te use in se many easy ways,
that nothing can compete with it in general
usefulness; but as an article of luxury
thcic is nothing te beat a geed pear. As
a ceinmcicial Iruit we de net kuew that
much has ever been made of it. Here
and thcic are lare pear orchards return
ing fair profitable results ; but these arc
small numbers iu comparison with profit
able apple orchards ; aud we have an idea
that this will always be. But there is no
one who has a piece of ground but ought
te have a pear tree or two, and mere than
this if he has room, The great family
tree should always be the pear trce. It
will live for a couple of hundred years.
What fruit tree will last se long? "We
have en our own premises pear trees be
lieved te be fully one hundred and seventy
live years old, and bear abundantly nearly
every year.
Grape Culture.
In some quarters of the Northern At
lantic seaboard states farmers complain
that the competition iu the culture of
grapes for the city markets has beceme se
extensive as greatly te rcduce the chances
of profit en the crop. We are net in
clined te dispute the accuracy of this com
plaint, in view of the cost of the packages
and the commission exacted by the mer
chants. But we would suggest te theso
farmers who cannot conscientiously con
vert their grapes into wine, which is by
far the most profitable branch of the
business, that it would be much better te
organize factories for converting grapes
into raisins, the demand for which is
always large and reliable. We regret
very much te pciccive that nene of enr
domestic grape growers have yet devoted
their attention te the packing of their
grapes iu such a way as te admit of their
exportation te distant regions, at home
aud abroad, as is dene in many of tlie
famous brands of grapes of Southern
Europe, especially theso known .13 Malaga
and Muscatel. Fer our own part, we feel
no hesitation whatever iu saying that the
most profitable form of the grape busi
ness is winemaking. Where grapes are
grown as extensively as in Southern Jcr
soy, there ought te be wine factories es
tablished te purchase grapes from the
farmers en the same principle as the but
ter aud checse factories purchase milk and
cream. There can be no question that
quite as geed wine can be made from
American grapes as any certain kinds of
the same class can be produced in Europe.
Seme Uncommonly Wise Turkeys.
J car Riceville, Tehama county, Cal.,
an
old barn belenging te Gcerge lleag, was
burned. J. Mullen had 130 tens, of .bay
stored in the barn, which was burned. A.
Hcudrick lest a cow by the flre. The hay
was insured for $1,600. Heretofore a
large fleck of turkeys belonging te A,
Hendrick have uniformly roosted in this
barn ; most of them have never known any
ether perch. They have always roosted
in the old barn. But en tbe evening be
fore the fire the turkeys for the first time
deserted the barn, and at roosting time
voluntarily chose a perch near the house.
That night the barn yna burned. Thcre
was nothing te explain this change of base
en the part of the turkeys, unless it is ad
mitted that the ghosts from the recent
Thanksgiving sacrifices came back te
warn their late fellows of the approaching
danger. Their escape by this unaccount
able freak is called special provideuce when
relating te human affairs. At all events,
the turkeys changed from their accus
tomed perch without any apparent cause.
A Sad Case.
Hew a Beautiful Washington Girl Spent
Uer Christmas.
In Washington en Monday evening a
rather unusual arrest for drunkenness was
made by the officers of the Fifth precinct.
A young aud attractive girl, about eigh
teen years of age, dressed in quiet but
elegant style, was found in the early hours
of the evening in the Smithsonian grounds,
surrounded by a gang of roughs. They
had found her in the streets under the in
fluence of liquor, and had decoyed her te
a lonely spot te rob her of the jewel
ry which she were in profusion, and
perhaps with ether designs. They
were interrupted by the arrival of the efiL
ccrs, and took te. thcr heels. The yeuug
lady was taken in charge and conveyed te
the station. It was found that she was
no common character, and her face, of
mere than ordinary beauty, showed no
traces of a fasf life. The handseme fur
lined circular which she were was stainejl
with the mud of the streets, where she
had fallen in her staggering progress. A
costly hat of the latest design was crushed
and battered almost beyond recognition.
Her dress, which was of a lovely shade of
empress, cloth, and her well-sclccted
jewelry aud the ether dctaiis of her toilet,
evinced a refined and well-bred taste.
Frem what could be gathered from her
incoherent and disjointed talfr it was evi
dent that she was a person of education
and accustomed te geed society. When she
realized her situation she began te cry
bitterly and call for her mother. It was
ascertained that she had left her home in
the upper part of the city (the West End)
early iu the day te make a call at the
house of a friend. While thcre she
lunched and partook rather freely of
Christmas egg-negg. The liquor did net
begin te have its full effect until she
started for her home early in the evening.
She staggered along the streets, and while
in this condition and almost unconscious
she fell into the hands of the roughs, with
the results abeve mentioned. Ilcr parents
in their elegant home were ignorant of the
terrible fate which had befallen their
loved daughter. This incident is a striking
illustration of some phases of social life in
the city.
Reward or Indus try.
Salt Lake Tribune,
A few days age a peer friendless lad
might have been seen wandering along
the streets looking for employment. He
presently halted iu front of a butcher shop
and walking boldly up te the proprietor
asked for a job. There was something in
the young man's frank, honest, counten
ance which struck the proprietor favor
ably. " Net afraid of hard work? " he asked.
" Ne " responded the lad with a trem
bling voice, " I have supported my mother
and two sisters for five years by hard
work. "
He was put en trial at five dollars a
week mauling leathery beef, and his
sturdy frame and healthy constitution
came in geed play. One day an old lady
came in te get some beef, aud the pro
prietor told him te attend te the customer.
"A tenderloin steak if you please,"
said she.
" Here's a cut that nobody but the fust
families get," responded the boy smilingly
as he sliced off four pounds of tough
round and cast i t with a heavy hand en
the scales, jamming it down with a quick,
dexterous movement, until the indicator
marked six even pounds. Then he
snatched it off before the delicate ma
chinery, used te weigh beef, had time te
recoil.
" Six pounds and a half, madam," he
said, looking her square in the face with
his clear, blue eyes.
The proprietor of the stall called him in
that night, aud remarking that he had
watched his course carefully, added that
as a reward for his quick, comprehensive
grasp or the business he would raise his
salary te $25 a week. This shows the ad
vantage of doing everything well, aud
when the boy's mother, back in New Jcr Jcr
sey hcavs of his success, there will be joy
in that household. Yeung men starting
out in life should learn te adapt them
selves te their surroundings and never let
an oppeitunity pass.

A BiipM.it Minister's Experience.
1 am a Huptist Minister, nnd licfcre 1 even
thought el being a clergyman, 1 graduated in
medicine, but left a lucrative practice ler my
present profession, tu years age. 1 was ler
many years a sufferer from quinsy ; Themas'
Eclcctric Oil cured mi!." 1 wits also troubled
with hoarseness, and Themas' Eclcctric Oil al
ways relieved me. My wife anil child had
diphtheria, and "Themas' Eclcctric Oil cured
them," and If taken In time It will cure seven
out et ten. I am confident it is a cure for the
most obstinate cold or cough, and II anyone
will take a small teaspoon and half 1111 It with
the Oil, and then place the end et the spoon in
one nostril and draw the OH out el" t lie spoon
Inte the head by sniffing us hard as they can,
until the Oil falls ever into the threat, and
practlccth.it twice a week, I don't care hew
offensive their head may be, it will clean it
out and cure their catarrh. Fer deatncs and
earache it has done wonders te my certain
knowledge. It is the only medicine dubbed
patent medicine that I have ever telt like re
commending, and I am very anxious te sec it
iu every place, ter 1 tell you that 1 would net
be without it in my house ler any considera
tion. I am new suffering with a pain like
rheumatism in my right limb, and nothing re
lieves me like Themas' Eclcctric Oil.
