The Fulton County News McConnellsbirg, Pa. i . . - PLANT TREES. If In 75 years tlx present supply of timber in this country w ill be exhaust ed, at the present rate (if i onsumpilon, the. admonition to plant trees becomes lo(iient with meaning. There la prat value In Irees, sajs tlie Kansas City Times. The bit? lumber fortunes bare been made In the main, not In buying ami selling lumber, nor even In manufacturing lumber for sale, but la buying vast tracts of timber land Jil holding them for the Inevitable tdrances in timber prict h Incident to d rapidly decreasing supply. Now, jt would not profit any imin or cor pc ration to buy large areas of land that could be prolltably used fur agri culture, fruit growing or grazing, and let them In trees; but It would bo profitable for all who own timber lands that could not be prolltably used for oilier purposes to maintain them as permanent forests, using only the matured trees and cutting them and clearing the slash In such u way us to give the best possible pro tection to the Immature timber. Al so, It would be profitable to every owner of land to plant trees on any part of It that cannot be utilized for ether purposes. If this great nation could inspire Its landholders with this one purpose for a given time, to the end that all land that should lie planted with trees would be so plant ed, the problem of the future lumber supply would be solved. The treasure chamber beneath the pulace of Necessldades, Lisbon, Por tugal, has been opened and examined by tlie minister of public works at the request of King Manuel, who feared for the safety of the crown Jewels and certain personal property of the royal family. The Jewels and valuables were found In the underground cham ber Intact. An Inventory showed them to be worth upward of $3,000,000. Among the Jewels was the diadem of ex Queen Amelia and a necklace given ber by her father, the Compte de Paris, valued ut $200,00(1. There wan found also a table service of solid Ger man silver, weighing over a ton, also a crown and scepter of gold studded with precious stones; also sevi ral bricks of gold, the largest weighing 45 pounds. The minister of llnance announces that all valuables which are the private property of Manuel and his mothtr will be returned to them. Those belonging to the state, such as the crown and scepter will be placed In the national museum. Some peculiar rights are being set tled In New York. A man recovered nearly $l,nOO damages from a police man for clubbing him because the man In question kicked In his own door. As the man's wife had request ed the policeman's Interference, she having locked the kicked In door, this decision for damages looks like a desperate stand on the part of mere man to avoid being kicked out of do rcestic supremacy. A man In New Jersey was lately ar rested for assaulting a neighbor. But It developed later that the assailant bad been run over by his own auto mobile, driven by the neighbor. As II would have been clearly superhuman self control w hich would have checked an attack under the circumstances, the assault was condoned by a law recognizing tho limitations of human Dature. A Hloomlngtnn, Pa., man celebrated bis eighty-third birthday by sawing wood continuously from 7 a. m. to 7 p. m. The moral Is to saw wood early in life, and when you are 83 perhaps you won't havo to do so. Clubwomen In New Jersey are to establish schools for the tralulng of maids. When they get the flrls per fect In the arts of housekeeping and cooking they will doubtless discover that it is wives they have beeu train ing. That Imdon hotel where r.o lipping Is permitted bas proved such a success that another like It. the largest in London, Is to be erected at once. And they say the service Is perfectly all right, too. We are told that the convocation of Canterbury proposes to abridge tha ten commandments. Evidently the commandments have been broken so often that they need repairing.

Rearrangement of tho Congressional District Left to the Legislatures of States One Member for Each 211,877 Inhabitants. Washington, U. C A bill provid ing for the enlargement of the na tional House of Representatives from 891 to 433 members and the appor tionment of these members to the dif ferent States on the basis of the pop ulation shown by tho recent federal census passed the House after vain efforts of members of both political partleB to amend it in important particulars. The proposed slzo of the House is Identical w ith that provided for In the Crumpacker bill, passed by the House at the last session of Congress, but not acted upon by the Senate. The Houston bill, Just passed, leaves to the Legislatures of tho different States the power to rearrange the Congressional districts In their re spective State, on the new population basis of one member for each 211.S77 Of inhabitants. The two important amendments proposed, and defeated after lengthy debate, were to put the redisricting power In the hands of the Governors Of States, when the U'glslatures had failed to act, and to limit the House In the future to a membership of 43') or 433, leaving future reapportion ments to the Secretary of the Depart ment of Commerce and Labor. The increase of the size of the House was agreed to by members of both parties, but many Republicans attacked It on tho ground that it Would make tho House more un hieldy. Insurgent Republicans were particularly vigorous In opposing the Increase, declaring that IT It were not for the demands of those States that would otherwise lose members there would be a general sentiment In favor of keeping the membership at the present size of 391.
