Destruction of the FnreKtx Unit Urouzht * Drought and Desolation. The early conquerors of this country and their followers of today have been very wasteful and careless in thedispo eitiou of tbuir forests , with the result of accelerating tbo date wneu they will bo compelled to face a problem of forest preservation at considerable cost to themselves. Denizens of the northwest , are familiar with the rapidity with which the valuable timber areas have been denuded , until now there is scarce ly a merchantable tree between Ar kansas aud the Canadian line. Many notes of warnings accompanied this de struction of the northern soft wood for ests , ' but they fell upon unwilling ears. Only after it was too late to/stop the mischief did the country begin to recog nize the indirect value of toiests to agri culture and that no high degree of civ ilization can exist permanently with out some systematic and adequate forest management. In India the destruction of the forests commenced 1,000 years ago , aud that country , having at last seen the folly of such waste , is now en gaged in the expensive undertaking of reforesting large areas. The effect upon rainfall and the pro ductiveness of the cultivated tracts has already been acknowledged by investi gators. When Cortes first saw the val ley of Mexico , it was covered with woods , not deiiFC , but abundant , from the timber-line < n the volcanoes down to the water's edge. The reckless cut ting down of the forests by .tho Span iards iii'the fh. t century following the conquest in 1021 increased evaporation , caused the' lakes to dry up , led to fro queut droughts , followed by occasional floods , and- changed the climate of Anahuac. Any old rancher will tell stories of streams that flowed when ho was a boy and will show the dry arroyo now. They all claim that the tablelands had timber in considerable qnntities where now there aru barren deserts. This government has taken some steps in the matter , but it is also necessary for the landowners to assist in this work by planting trees and irrigating them for a few years until they have taken good root. J3y using good judg ment in selecting the trees and in plant ing in a few years the complaints which are now so frequent of .years of droughts will soon bacomo fewer and fewer until they finally cease. Mon terey . -ilobe BEAUTIFUL MAGIC. LAKE. The Preciit Which an Earthquake Made to Tennessee. Reelfoot lake , which lies mostly in j Obiou county and partly in Lake , is the I largest sheet of water iu Tennessee , it i ' being 40 miles in length and from 3 to 5 iu width. i This lake , which evokes rapturous I comments from even the most indiffer ent observer , was formed in a few min utes by an earthquake , which , accord- j ing to the best authorities , occurred be tween 2 and S o'clock on Saturday morning , Nov. 1C , 1811. There were two terrific shocks about 5JO minutes apart and many lighter ones between and after Tbo earth rocked violently , i a deafening uoiso like thunder struck terror to the ear , the atmosphere was heavily laden 'with something like ' smoke and vivid and almost constant flashes of lightning illuminated the surrounding - ' rounding country , and in less time than it takes to write it thousands of acres of laud had punk far below the level of the mighty Mississippi. I The Father of Waters rushed into the sunken country , and the suctiou was so great that for three hours the river ran up stream , and rafts and boats ' below the lake were torn from their moorings and went whirling into the seething , maddening vortex. As soon as the newly formed lake was filled the river went majestically on its usual course , leaving to Tennessee one of the t finest fishing resorts in the country , i which is annually the Mecca of thou sands of sportsmen. Cincinnati Com mercial Tribune. Students' Franks. In The National Magazine W. H. Leavitt tells some amusing stories of the pranks of American art students in Paris. Once the students in one atelier hazed a newcomer by taking all his money , putting him into a cab and giv ing the driver instructions where to take him. When the cab halted , the penniless student alighted and stood on the curb. "Will you be so good as to light a match ? " said the student. "I dropped a napoleon in the-cab and can'c find it. " _ Whereupon the driver whip ped up and was away in a hurry. A new student from Algiers amused the studio for awhile by imitating the sounds of various wild beasts and birds. Then the fickje fellows tired of it. So one day , having prepared a big bos with breathing holes in it , they put the mimic in it and kept him there three days , at the end of which time he per formed only by request. A Toujjli Colored Ulan. A recent railroad wreck in North Carolina was caused in a peculiar way. A colored man wanted to get a ride and tried to jump a train of empty flat cars. Ee missed the car and fell across the track , where the wheels of several cars passed directly over him. His body threw two of the cars off the track , and the strangest part of it is that after the : ars had run over him the man was able to get up and walk away. As he looked around him he was heard to exclaim : "Well , well ! I never see de like fence I < vuz bo'n. I'll bet my week's wages dat railroad'11 sue me fer damages. " At lanta Constitution. Very happy is Curran's reply to his pompous antagonist in debate who had [ of tily asserted that he was the guardian if his own honor , "Iwish the honorable ind learned gentleman joy of bis sine- sure.1 ! Th < 5 Wolves Just Laughed. Sitting in Thedo Wyman's store , ft iittlo group of villagers in Sebec , Me. , ta kejl of wolves , now seldom seen in Maine , but which half a century ago were much in evidence. William Lyford told the story of Seth Brifwn's chase of two wolves on snowshoes. "You know Seth , " ho said. "One of the smartest and handiest men in his day that ever cut timber trees or drove the Penobscot. Up in theRipogenus re gion one February be was out prospect ing for timber tracts. The snow was deep , with a light crust , just strong enough to hold up a man on suowshoes. Coining upon a little rise of laud in a timber swamp one day , he Ea\v two wolves a little way ahead of him. The crust would not hear them , and they could only wallow along in the snow. Seth would tackle anything that ever ranged the woods. He had no gun , but ho set out after the wolves with his ax. What did those wolves do but circle round until they got back upon Seth'a tracks. You know how in light snow the steps of a man in suowsboes will pack down the snow. Once the wolves pot to Seth's tracks the slotessuowshoa prints ) held them up , and they just ran on them in a circle till he gave up the cLaso. Ho was so near that hu could al most have thrown his ax to them , and he couldn't get a step nearer. Seth said the wolves sat on their haunches and laughed at hiui.wheu ho had to give up and start along. " New York Sun. Too YonngMo Talk So. We have learned to expect it from many of the married women aud from some of the bachelor maids. But out of the lips of a mere lassie , gently reared , a girl still living at homo with her mother , skepticism gives one a shock , declares n writer in the Now York Press. A woman of fashion in a checked dress and a great dahlia colored hat , ac companied by n man in modish gar ments , was tripping along Fifth avenue. She was chatting with marked anima tion aud he was laughing flatteringly. The attention of the passersby was at tracted by the happy couple. Behind the pair chanced to walk a lassie the one yet living at homo with mamma and an older woman , u friend of mamma. The lassip sniedHho mou- daiue iu checks and dahlia velvet on ahead and puckered her brow , saying : | "Oh , I know that woman have seen j her often a Newport. She is dreadful rich. Now , I remember. She is Mrs. : Morris Blankly. " | The friend of mamma was interested. She asked : "And is the attentive man with Mrs. Blankly her husband ? " The lassie shrugged her shoulders and scorned the very idea. "Ridiculous , " she replied. - "You dear , old fashioned thing , don't you know that women's husbands never laugh in tbat good tempered way when they are'with their wives. " The Imitative Japanese. A good story is told by St. Barbe of theimitativenessof the Japanese , which is easily credible , for was it not a Jap anese who when he was told to make a coal to pattern the old one baing sent so faithfully did ho carry out the or der that a reii . and darn in one of the tails was carefully executed in the new garment ? "At a certain reception wo were ask ed in morning dress , but knowing people ple wore their crush theater hats. When we got down to the gunroom , which was devoted to gentlemen's cloaks , the gentleman immediately before me took off his theater hat , crushed it against his breastbone , wrapped it up.in his dust cloak and handed it to the Japanese in charge. " 1 took off my hat and dust cloak and handed them. To my horror the Jap took hold of my hat by the brim aud crushed it against his breastbone as he had seen my predecessor do. Unfortu nately that gentleman's hat would network work at first , and he had to use a great deal of force before the springs would fold down. The Japanese therefore saw nothing in my hat's unwillingness to work , but just crushed it and folded my cloak round it. "When I expostulated , he smiled and presented me with a paper flower I suppose as a peace offering. " A Phillips Brooks Anecdote. At the dinner given in his honor in Philadelphia Dr. McVickar , the bishop joadjutor of Rhode Island , told this jbaracteristic anecdote of the late Phil lips Brooks : "I remember a few years jgo I was traveling with one of the grandest bishops aud one of the grand- ; st men of the century. I was saunter ng with him from church in Lucerne , in Switzerland , and he said something ; o boyish and fresh , just as he was ever , vonfc to do. I stopped and looked at him ind said , 'Brooks , it seems so strange : hat you should be a bishop. ' He looked it me with almost a startled expression , md he said , 'McVickar. it seems so itrauge to me that sometimes , when I im putting on my clothes , I have to itop and laugh. ' It was just the fresh- less of that man which always kept lim young , and which , I am sure , yon vill understand as I give it , for I ven- ure to say there has never been such a lishop in our or any other church. " Superfluous. Mrs. Keeley , the veteran English ac- ress , tells an anecdote of a young ac- ress who in the play is a boy. She is aken before a judge , who asks sternly , 'Now , where are yodr accomplices ? " nd the young actress , by a happy bought , improved on the author and . artless tone : "Idon't wear uy. They keep up without. " Plenty of Room In Bolivia. Bolivia has an area of 400,200,000 cres aud a population of 2,500,000 , or n average of nearly 200 acres to each ahabitaut. This land is extremely rich a valuable woods , silver , copper , tin , to. , and the soil is especially adapted 3 the cultivation of coffee and tobacco.

The bladder was created for one purpose , lamely , a receptacle for the urine , and assuch t is not liable to any form of disease except jy one of two ways. The first way is from im perfect action of the kidneys. The second , vay is from careless local treatment of other liseases. CHIEF CAUSE. Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kidneys h > he chief cause of bladder troubles. So the , vomb , like the bladder , was created for one purpose , and il not doctored too much is not iable to weakness or disease , except in rare- : ases. It is situated back of and very close to he bladder , therefore any pain , disease or in- : onvenience manifested in the kidneys , back. ) ladder or urinary passage is often , by mis- ake , attributed to female weakness or womb rouble of some sor.t. The error is easily made ind may be as easily avoided. To find out : orrectly , set your urine aside _ for twenty-tour lours ; a sediment or settling indicates kidney > r bladder trouble.
