Hundreds of thousands of young spruco, balsam and hemlock trees an nually uri sac; idee i iu ti e Christmas trado, and it is alleged ueeilessly. A cooplo of days ago Professor Gilford Pinohot, tho government forester, was asked how many troes wore cut down every year to be trimmed and decorat el for young Americans. He replied : "No doubt many hundreds of thons aods of young trees aro used for this purpose every Christmas. But don't you worry about tho losses sustaiued j by our foiests from this cause. That : is not a drop in tho bucket compared | with tho destruction of larger audi more valuable trees for other pmposes. An acre of laud will produce several thousand spruce trees of tho kind that aro used for Christmas decoration. But tho great danger wo must guard against, if the forests of tho couutry aro not to be totallv wiped out, is the reckless cutting of timber for com mercial purposes. For instarce, 120,- 000,000 new railroad tiesaro laid down in the United States every year. That represents the destruction of at loast 7/5,000,000 trees overy 13 months for that purpose aloue. More millions cf trees aro cut down annually to make telegraph and telephone poles. But with proper care our foiosts can fur nish all this timber without being ex hausted. Everything depends on the j adoption of systematic cutting plan by which certain trees may bo saved, others cut and new ones plautoi."

OVER THE TICKER [Original.] She was a splendid girl, but I knew she should marry money. This was i my thinking, not hers, of which 1 knew nothing. A long time 1 worshiped her. Then when the great Wall street boom came on I Invested a few thousand dollars and gained a fortune. I was worth $200,000. This result was not fully attained till the summer of 1902. Hearing that Marguerite was at the seashore, I went there. I pretended to be much surprised to meet her, but this was all assumed. I had gone there to woo and win her If I could. I didn't have much trouble inducing her to accept my attentions—lndeed, she would decline to make engage ment with very rich men to be with me. though she knew nothing about my circumstances. September came on, and many people left the coast Enough remained to keep up the daily attendance on the beach and ut the hops. One morning Marguerite and I were ndtting on the shining sands look-' lug at the bathers. I had got pretty near to a proposal the night before and was just about to close the matter up so far as my part was concerned when I heard a cheery voice behind me, and ; Billy Allen clapped a linud on my shoulder. I introduced him to Mar guerite, and we all three chatted to gether. Billy said there was a flurry In Wall afreet and suggested that we goto the hotel and look at the ticker. Marguerite said she would like togo, too, so we rose, sauntered together up tho beach and were soon bending over tho tape. I explained matters to j Marguerite. "Those letters M. O. P.," I said, "stand for Missouri Pacific common stock. It Is a great favorite at present and is usually referred to as 'Mop.'" "A good name for a poodle," inter posed Marguerite. "Now, a holder," I said, "of 100, shares of 'Mop' makes or loses SIOO for every point It goes up or down. On 1 000 shares the change is SI,OOO, on 10,000 shares SIO,OOO, and so on. Sup posing we have, say, 20,000 shares, let us see what one makes or loses as the. quotations vary.*' I held the tape and read the quota tions on the stock. "A quarter, a half, three-quarters rise. We're ahead $15,000. Back she goes a quarter, a half, seven eighths, one point. We've lost our $15,000 and $5,000 besides. Still she goes down. A half, three-quarters, a point, a point and a quarter, a half, three-quarters. Great heavens, 1m she never going to stop? Two points, a half, three-quarters, three points. We've made a big loss. We're out $60,000." "It quite takes my breath away," said Marguerite, with a gasp. "Oh, you would soon get used to It," I replied. I am not much of an admirer of my self and didn't tlvink I was doing any thing remarkable, but Billy, who knew I was "long" of exactly 20,000 shares of "Mop," looked at me in amazemeut. There was some reaction (which, as I explained, regained some of our hypo thetical losses), and then down went the quotations, so that when we loft the ticker I was out $85,000. Mar guerite went upstairs for a short nap before lunch, and Billy and I went out ou to the piazza to talk It over. I made up my mind that I would take advan tage of the first reaction and sell out. The next morning I met Marguerite on the piazza. I excused myself for not having seen her in the evening by saying I had Billy on 1113' hands and proposed that before we went to the beach wc should take 11 look at the ticker. We did so, and I saw that sev eral stocks of which I had a few thou sand shares each followed "Mop's" ex ample and slid down to a point that left me barely SIO,OOO if all my shares were sold at the prices quoted. Ire solved to save that bagatelle for fu ture operations and, excusing myself from Marguerite for a few minutes, . went to the telegraph otlice and sent a message to my broker to sell all I had "at the market." Then I rejoined Mar guerite and we went lo the beach. That evening while we were sitting togetlier 011 the piazza looking at the ocean slowly lapping the shore as a lion may lick his chops after devouring somebody I said to my companion: "Marguerite, you are the only woman I ever saw whom I wanted to marry, and I resolved three years ago that if I ever made enough money to take proper care of you I would ask you to be my wife. Yesterday morning when Billy Allen came up I was worth $200,- 000 and was 011 the eve of putting the question to you. We went to the ticker and saw $t;0,000 pass away in less than half an hour. The rest, except $12,000 which I have saved from the wreck, went yesterday afternoon and today. 1 tell you this because It Is due to you and myself that you should know why, after all I have said to you, I do not complete what I have begun." She sat looking at me with eyes opening wider and wider fill I had fin ished. "Do you mean to tell me that that supposititious case was your own?" "I do." "Then all I have to say Is that I'd rather marry a man with such splen did nerve than one with a million." With a simultaneous impulse we opened our arms and clasped each oth er in a tight embrace. My fiancee would not hear of my leaving Wall street. She said that a man with such nerve Is especially lif ted for a speculator and I must seek my fortune where I lost It. I went "short" and in less than three months regained my $200,000. Where I shall land eventually I don't know. We must all take our chances In this world, and my chances seem to be In the stock market. F. A. MITCHEU A ruiioHoiilier.

EFFECTS OF TOBACCO. In Sonic CAIPI It Ist Stimulating nml In Other* Narcotic. Whether or not tobacco Is a stimu lant lias been a vexed question ever since the time of Ovledo, the tirat writer to describe it fully, who says j that the Indians of Ilispanlola used to- ! I baeco to produce Insensibility,' whereas others among the old Spanish discov erers say that the natives smoked to stimulate themselves to fresh exertions. Men whose business leads to expo sure to weather or to violent physical exercise, such as sailors, soldiers, watchmen, navvies and field laborers, all take tobacco as a stimulant and have done so from the first. These classes are mentioned as spe cially large consumers of the weed in Dr. lSverurd's "Panacea," published in 1050. liobbes and Newton both used tobacco to stimulate. Goethe and Heine hated it. Scott smoked profusely; but, according to Mr. Trelawney, Byron "never smoked pipe or cigar." Modern experience and observation seem to indicate that tobacco is a stim ulant in moderation and a narcotic in excess, in this respect resembling all' other intoxicants, using the term in its widest sense, from tea to opium. CAT'S CRADLE. OrlKtn 'if tlie Nnme of the Fnmlllnr String and rinjjcr Game. Cat's cradle has been familiar to most of us from childhood as a game for two players, in which tlie first winds a looped cord over the fingers of both hands In a symmetrical figure, and the second inserts his lingers and removes it in such a way as to produce a dif ferent figure. This they do alternately several times, always changing the formation. The art consists in making the right changes. The cord forms a rude representation of a manger, and the name originally was "cratch" cradle, crutch being a manger (creche, French), such as that in which our Saviour was laid. ''They layde hym in a cratclie," was Wyclif's translation of Luke ii, 7. The word is still used in Roman Catholic countries in that particular sense. The Abbe Pimvost says in hi 3 "Man uel Lcxique," "Cratch is the name giv en to a manger for cattle and which is consecrated by the birth of Jesus Christ." To the present day the racks which stand in the fields for cattle to eat from are called cratches. "Yankee Doodle/' As for the origin of the tune of "Yan kee Doodle," over which there is much controversy, this can be sal 1 —that mojt of the views expressed about its origin are right, but only partly so. It is true the tune is the same as that of "Lucy Locket Lost Her Pocket," "Van kee Doodle Came to Town," and that of the Dutch reapers' song, "Yonkcr Dudal, Diulal Daun," but it Is also identical with the old Biscay an "l)an za Esparta" (sword dance) and that of a German song which was published at Cologne in the year that Columbus discovered America.
