AMERICAN HARDWOODS. ,The rapid consumption of American hardwoods is causing the timber deal ers of the United States to turn their attention to the supplies of adjoining countries. The mesquite of Texas is beginning to find favor, several car loads having recently been shipped from the State to Michigan, where the wood is manufactured into furniture. Mexico , has a pretty fair supply of this class of timber and Our manufac turers would like to break in upon it, but there is a stiff export duty impos ed by Mexico on unmanufactured timber which stands in the way of their desires, and is not likely to be removed, for the Mexicans in impos ing it were inspired by the double purpose of conserving their timber supply and of encouraging domestic manufactures. No obstacles are plan ned in the way of its use by manuac turers in Mexico, but mesquite is not likely to go out of the republic in its raw state. while the Mexicans are in their present frame of mind S.

Czar Nicholas of all the Russias 40 years old today. We naturally think of him as an older man than that; he has lived many years more than 40, though that is all the calendar gives him credit for. But they hav been long years; they have been years filled with trouble, years haunted with fear and years teeming with terror. The throne of Russia is not a com fortable seat; its present occupant is credited by the world with a desire to improve the condition of his people but his wish is not destined to be realized to any great extent until the people are changed; they are incapa ble of national improvement in their present condition. Nicholas II was born May 18, 1868, and is the eighth ruler to represent the house of Romanoff-Holstein on the throne of Russia. He ascended on the throne November 1, 1894, upon the death of his father, Emperor Alexan der III. A few weeks later he was married to Princess Alexandria Alix, daughter of Grand Duke Ludwig IV of Hesse. They have five children, four of them daughters, the youngest a son, who will be four years old next August. i - , " PATERNAL INTEREST. The most notable feature of the budget which Premier Asquith has presented to the British house of com mons is the provision for allowances from the national treasury of a dollar and a quarter a week to persons more than 70 years old and possessing an income, less than $130 a year. This pension is not available for those who are already public dependencies and it is the estimate of the government that the pensioners will not exceed half-mil lion in number. The pensions become effective the' first of ijext year and will, according to the estimates, cost the government thirty millions a year. Premier Asquith explained to the house that the pensions would have imposed conditions for forfeiture and suspension and added that if the measure appeared to smack of social ism, it is a kind of socialism that both parties accept. The result of the operation of the measure will be watched with keen interest in all countries. Missoulian.

Mosquitoes have been subjugated in the Panama zone, and war will now be made by the health authorities there on rates and mice.

A former French chief Justice In Chandernagore, Jacolllot, gives an ac count of several curious performances that were displayed for his benefit by a yogi named Gcvlnda-Swami on the terrace of his own house. Being by no means credulous, Jacolllot took every precaution to prevent deception. FIdp sand was strewn on the ground In or der to make as even a surface as pos sible. Jacolliot was asked to seat him self at a table upon which were a pen cil aud paper. The fakir carefully laid a piece of wood upon the sand and announced that whatever figures Jacol liot might draw on the paper the piece of wood would transcribe nrecisolv upon the sand. The yogi stretched out his hand, and the wooden piece Imme diately copied upon the sand the most complicated and twisted figures that Jacolliot drew. When the Frenchman stopped writing the piece of wood also came to a standstill. The fakir stood at a distance against a wall, while Jacolliot held the paper and pencil In such a way that the Indian could not possibly see what he was inscribing. tiarper's v, eekly. -v .

"Good evening, Mr."- began Rossini cordially, extending bis hand, but the name of his English- acquaintance had basely deserted blm for the moment. There was scarcely a perceptible hesitation on his part, however, for in stantly he began to whistle softly the opeuiiig bars of Bishop's glee, "When the Wind Blows." The face of the "English Mozart," as Bishop was often .called, lighted up with a smile of gratification, and Ros sini's failure to recall his name was in stantly forpiven In the recognition of his pretty eomplimmt. NEW YORK, May 20.-Dr. Chas. Steinmetz, consulting engineer of the General Electric Company at Schenectady and professor of electri- al engineering at Union College, painted a doleful picture yesterday of what life' will be in the world when J the coal supply has been exhausted, and when the natural fertility of the soil has been used up and when the population has largely increased. lie thought that ultimately the people of the earth would have to look to elec tricity for heat would have to depend on it to re-fcrtilize the earth for food and clothing to keep people alive. Dr. Steinmetz spoke in the hall of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers to students and friend of the New York Electrical Trade School. His subject was "The Future of Electricity." "You who sit in this room," he said, "will see the time when there will be no more hard coal. You may see the time too when supplies of soft coal are so far removed that they wont be worth while bringing to the people; it can't last very long. And there is a possibility that some day people will wake up to the fact that some coal poisons the atmosphere. Then they may prohibit it. But it can't be a very great- while before we must seek for means other than coal for keeping warm. Wood has long since been dis carded as coal must be. What next? "It seems to me that our best hope is electricity. But we must have power for that. With coal out of the question where is the power to come from? The solution of the problem seems to be our natural water power, of which we use so very little now." Try JELL-O, the dainty, appetli ing economical dessert.
