PUSHING PRINCIPLE TOO FAR. Nephevn'i Logical Deduction That Somehow Diepleaied Uncle. Dr. V. J. McGee of the geological survey said In Washington, after a visit to the Adirondack, that tne tor t llres had cost, at a conservative ot-tlmate, $1,000,000 a dHy. -It seems." said Dr. McGee, "rather foolitth to make laws against timber titling so as to preserve our forests, and lo make no law to preserve them against these terrible fires, which de utroy more tree Jn a day than the ax rould destroy In a year.

We. none tit iM. though, care to take home les sons. It Is like old Jaeob Grimes. "Jacob was an Illinois farmer, and o&e summer his nephew from Chicago ime to work on the farm for him. Jacob told the boy that the first prin ciple of farming was to use up. and wear out the old things first. "'Don't touch this year's fodder.' he flee were disposed to ridicule the In vention at first, but after proofs of Its practicability were offered their opin ions changed. The German war office recounted Its strategic value, and they believe that photographing pigeons ran render much assistance, to a be kIcuIiik army. The miniature camera weighs only 2V4 ounces, and that is considered the maximum weight which a homing pigeon could carry in a flight of not more than 100 miles. As many as 30 snapshots may be taken automatical ly, and the Instant of exposure can be so timed that the desired views will be obtained. Hy this means oujecis may be photographed from no greater height than 150 to 300 feet, an Impos sible feat for an airship or balloon. To Preserve Leaves. A simple method of preserving the natural color of leaves is to press each one separately with a hot flatlron, lay ing tin, leaf upon paper, then rubbing the Iron over wax or parafflne and pressing the leaf on both sides until dry. After Ironing several leaves In this manner there will be enough wax left on the paper, so that the leaves will require Ironing on one side only. Leaves should not be wet when ready to be pressed.

Writer Declares That Out of Action Would Come a Better Race. In many respects the orientals are our antithesis, and If our ideals, prin ciples, and institutions are more beneflcient, we are under obligation to present them. There should be no collision between the Mongol and the Anglo-Saxon races, but Instead there Bhould be a fusion. Out of this fusion there should emerge a better race. We can learn much from the various people of the orient which would be beneficial to ourselves, and while we receive from them we are able to contribute the one great principle of the Anglo-Saxon race, namely, liberty. Every race that has come Into power and prominence has stood for some great, overmastering Idea. That for which we stand aud which is the great touchstone of our great national life is liberty. It Is for our nation, as the great western wing of the Anglo-Saxon race, to join in the extension of this principle, and also to bear the mes sage of peace. Mason S. Stone, Com missioner of Education of Vermont, 4n Leslie's Weekly. , Miniumcd. Don't use the new harm while the old holds out.

He would ret especially tired when he would be obliged to eat last week's bread and no forth, according to the principle. "Jacob one stormy night said to his nephew: "William, I've got to go to the vil lage. Fetch up and harness one of tbe horses from the four-acre field.' -'Which shall I fetch,' said William, the old horse or the young one?' "The old one, of course,' said Jacob. 'Always wear out the old ones Jlrrt. you know.' "William paused rubber boots.

Shortly after he came to New York his friends In Germany wrote: "Send us as a souvenir something typical of American habits." So John Schmidt looked around. After observing Americans at home and In public for a period of three weeks he considered himself compe tent to comply with the request. Last week he sent home the thing which, in his opinion, most adequately repre sented American customs and Institu tions. He sent six packages of chew ing gum. Saved His Life and His Rupeee. During the great flood at Hydera bad, India, a native banker, overtaken by the sudden rush of water, made his way onto a mound, where he was quickly isolated. The water rose and the banker's legs were covered to his knees. "Fifty rupees, fifty rupees," he shouted, "to anyone who will save me!" When the water reached his shoulders he was shouting: "One thousand rupees'." When enveloped to his neck, with death staring him In the face, he yelled: "Help, help. All that I have will I give to anyone to save me!" Shortly after the water began to re cede. When once more he was cov ered only to bis knees an offer of res cue came; but the banker, plucking up his courage, cried: "Keep off. keep off! I wlli not give a rupee!" and suc ceeded in making his escape free of charge. t V V T f T T f T ? ? ? f f We wish to turn our remaining stock of winter goods into money.

Itiotographs taken from airships or "balloons have long been considered n practical method of learning the whereabouts of an enemy's forces or fortifications In time of war, but snap shots by a camera attached to a pigeon are an altogether new idea.

These strips, he said, had a tendency to curvature owing le the way In which the oxen walked while plowing the ground. An instance of that was seen In the curious 'way in which Longacre curved.

These veils the women folks are wearing, all nailed down tight under 1 their chins, are a great boon for us j all right, all right," said an East End i grocer. "Women, you know, are the greatest people on earth to come In j and sample things. They'll take a I taste of this and a taste of that while I you're wrapping up something for them, and the first thing you know ' they've eaten up about a nickel's I worth of stuff. "We can't say anything to a woman, particularly those that are good cus tomers. Now we don't have to. I haven't seen a woman taste anything In the store for a month or so. Those veils are put on so tight that the only way they can sample anything would be to take It through a straw." Cleveland Plain Dealer. The Japanese Footfall.

Burying Cables in River Bed. It seems odd that telegraph and telephone companies should be forced to bury their cables in the bed of n large river, yet this became necessary In places along the Ohio during the recent drought. The river was so low that boys eould and did play ball in the very channel bed, and the exposure left the telephone cables entirely unprotected. To avoid a repetition of the Incident, therefore, the companies have Mug trenches in the river bed, in which the iu'jIps have been securely covered.
