Special efforts Imvo been inado In tho past year or two to enlighten the public mind as to tho necessity of preserving our forests from tho widespread luid ruthless destruction that is going on over our extended domain at tho hand of mill owners and Incendiaries. . Tho latter may not generally act from malicious motives, but tholrearelessnoss and indifference are in effect the same and tho resulting loss and devastation are Incalculable. If tho American peoplo wish to preserve the purity of their water supplies; If they wish to prevent tholr rivers from becoming, ex cept during rainy seasons, mere dry channels; If they wish to preclude cyclono and deluge, they must demand from the State Legislature and from Congress efficient legislation to protect their forest areas. Col. R. H. Thomas, of Mochanlcsburg, Pa., who has been soerotary of tho Pennsylvania State Editorial Assoc'n for a numbor of years, and who is now president of tho National Editorial Association, Is a candidate for Publlo Printer under the McKlntey admluis tration. Col. Thomas Is a veteran printer in active business, a man of excel lent executive ability, and Thk Star unhesitatingly asserts that tho government will got good and efficient Horvloe If Dro. Thomas Is placed In tho posltkn of Puhllo Printer. Consider ing Col. Thomas' ability to fill tho position and the fact that tho Keystone State has not boon honored by tho selection of one of her sons for Public Prlntor for h number of years, Mr Thomas has a good chance for tho appointment. ' It Is now stated that a bill will bo Introduced in congress this winter to give all non-commissioned officers and enlisted men who served in tho United States army or navy In tbo late rebellion and made application for pensions undor old law since 1HIH), pay from tho date of their discharge. This will be good news for the soldiers who did not or oould not make application before 1800, .. when the law for back pay expired Col. Atnsworth, chief of tho bureau, says that there are doubtless a couKldorablu number of persons who, from ignorance of the law, failed to take advantage of its provisions. They are equally as deserving as tbo far greater number to whom the law has applied, and it suggested thai Congress renew tho now expired act, this time leaving out limitation as to the time within which. claim must bo filed.

Hoys and girls, wo talked to you Inst week on tho subject of "Punctuality." This week wo will Interview you on lis companion, "Diligence." Diligence Is an important spoke In tho wheel of life. It bus been termed by sonin writers us tlio mother of good luck." There is no question In life that, wo should ask ourselves more cautiously than, "Do I display a proper degree of diligence In the direction of the object I wish to attain ?" The first thing that demands your attention is tho i-eleot Ion of n suitable Held In the direct loll of which your diligence should lie displayed, for, if you err in the selection of this, you will hazard both yourcoinfort and usefulness in life. In select lug your vocation for lifo you should lirst consider your iipnbillties. You are all constituted with the same general fnculties, yet all do not possess them In equal degrees of strength, nor are the particular faculties always prcdotiiiueiit. indifferent Individ mils. Hence, It frequently happens that while a certain individual Is admirably fll ti-d for one kind of business ho has scarcely any talent- for another and his usefulness must depend, ill i great measure, on tho selection of an employment to which ho is adapted on should also consider your own taste, for It very rarely happens that a person succeeds in any occupation to which ho or she Is averse; but do not let "taste" carry you so far as to furnish an apology lur engaging in an occupa tion that is not useful and praiseworthy you should also have regard for the circumstances in which you aro placed for that In which it might bo clearly your duty to engage In one set of clr cumstances, it might be your imperative duty to decline in another. Therefore you should bo willing to take the ndvlso of those who are best ciualillt'd to give both In respect to your natural capabili ties and tho circumstances in which you are placed. Even If you have not determined what is to bo your occupation for life yet you should aim, In tho coursoof your education, for some fiernianent occupa tion. Do not a. low yourseu to bj need lessly carried uway from your duties especially by the intrusion of indolent and iinprolltaolo acquaintances, and It they do come, let them know by your actions if not by words, that your maxim Is "uuty oeloro pleasure." If your task Is difficult still endeavor to perform It for you do not know but that tlio failure in a single Instance may bo tho commencement of a general habit of neglect, yotk can rest assured that the triumph which persevering lldellty Insures to you will bo worth more than you can tmagluo to your stability und solfivspcct. lie not satlslled with merely "going through tlio various duties that de volve upon you, but see thutovery thing you attempt to do is done In tho best possihlo manner. When preparing your lessons never lay aside your book until you fully com prehend your lesson; whatever mysteries thero may bo In the book before you, lot thero bo none in thn portion over which you have studied, xr you form early tho habit of doing everything well, tho consequence will bo that you will soon do everything with pleasure to yourself and satisfaction to others. No matter how busy you may bo you ran accomplish nothing without method. You may bo tho busiest person -in tho community, und your efforts generally well directed, and yet without system ) you would hardly bo missed If you should ; leuve. Endeavor then to work tiy rule. ; Lot your duties succeed each other so as not to produce confusion, so that you j are never lost in tbo midst of them, i Let your diligence be systematic as well j as persevering and it cannot full to be effective. ! .SCHOOL NOTES.
