The Christmas Tree.
Just now there is an outcry against
tho destruction of prospective forests
caused hy the cutting of Christmas
trees. 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.

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.
