Many a man has mado a failure In the
battle of life because he "despised the
day of small things," and the young
man who overlooks the importance of
"small things" Is almost sure never to
be a great success. The mighty river
that rolls onward to the ocean was, in
its small beginning, but a rill trickling
down some moss-covered rock; the giant
tree that sweeps the air with its hun
dred branches and mocks at the howling
tempest was, In Its small beginning,
but a little sued trodden under foot un
noticed. The first seed put in the
ground, the first shilling put In the
savings bank, are Important things.
Don't "despise the day of small things"
young man, if you want to succeed in
life..
An exchange very truthfully says:
"To run a paper without occasionally
publishing an item that Is detrimental
to some person, Is like running a rail
road without having any accidents or
mishaps. To do cither Is a physical Im
possibility. No man on earth is to so
great an extent at the mercy of both
friends and enemies as tho editor of a
newspaper. lie must got much of tho
Information concerning transpiring
events second or third handed, or not
at all. Frequently statements are re
ceived from supposedly trustworthy
sources which are subsequently found
to be without foundation. Not one edi
tor In a thousand willfully Injures friend
or foe by misrepresentation. Goto h Ira
and ask him for a correction, and In
nfno cases out of ten, if your case is just,
you will be received politely and proper
correction made with pleasure."
The famous Johnstown flood of May
31, 1880, will probably soon be recalled
to the public by an attempt to reforest
a large portion of theConemaugh water
shed to prevent further damage from
freshets. Tho Johnstown Water Com
pany, whlcb controls 5,000 acres of
mountain land, has asked the Division
of Forestry to devise a plan by which
the area can bo re-covorod with timber
and the too rapid run-off of the rainfall
prevented. The region Is peculiarly
liable to freshets, owing to Its geologi
cal character and the removal of Its
timber. The now historic- catastrophe,
which swept away $10,000,000 In proper
ty and half as many lives as the battle
of Gettysburg, was but an exaggerated
Instance of many stmilary floods. This
tendency has been Increased by logging
off the timber and clearing numer
ous farms, so that the rainfall
flows quickly from tho surface, causing
high water at one time and the drying
up of springs later. The Johnstown
Water Company has bought up many of
these farms and torn down their build
ings, and now wishes to expedite their
return to the forest The tract is a
sandstone region, much broken, with
valleys averaging :tt0 feet in depth.
The timber consists of hemlock, oak,
locust and ash, with some beech and
poplar. The openings are from 30 to SO
acres. As soon as tho weather permits,
J. W. Tourney, Superintendent of Tree
Planting, and another working-plan
expert of the Division of Forestry, will
examine the region and decide on a plan
of reforestation. In the clearings, tree
planting will be required. An attempt
will probably be made to lnorease the
stand over the whole area by skillfully
assisting natural reproduction. Pro
tection from fire and cattle will also be
required. The expense will be shared
by the Government and the Water
Compuny, tho former furnishing the
expert work and, possibly, some of the
material for planting. ,

Putting Down Some Double Track.
Work was commenced yesterday by
the HufTalo, Hochester and Pittsburg
Hallway company on the construction
of a second track between Falls Creok
and C. & M. junction. The Immense
volume of tralllu between these xlnt,
the through service being constantly
added to, and often times delayed by
the work of the yard engines, has made
this step a necessary one, and thn only
reason It was not done long before, was
the company's capacity for handling
mprovnmonts lias been taxed to thn
utmost In the vast amount of new work
that bus been done of late. The new
work now being done Is said to be only
starter of a large part of double track
that Is to be put down In the near fu
ture. Dullols Ctnmrr.
A warm heart Is more attractive than
a large brain. There are men who give
more pleasure in a cordial band-shake
than most men can give In a learned
talk about literature or philosophy,
Men are Influenced through their emo
tions more easily and oftuner than by
their logical faculty. A strong char
acter has added power when It shows a
loving spirit. Even a weak character
can win favor and do good when It evi
dences an affectionate nature. Tho
world needs warming In order to havo
all In It do their best work. For this
use a handful of kindling wood on the
social hearth Is better than a wagon
