A LESSON FROM MEXICO.
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

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

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

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.

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 ? "
