Lafayette while traveling in the United States with his father. These letters have never before been pub lished. "We have already spent twenty days ft the United States," says the son, "and this is the first leisure I have had for writing you a line; even as it Is,' I am not sure of being able to dis patch my letter. The Stephanie, whose captain is one of our friends. Is to sail from New York for Havre to-day, and will take our letters, if only we can arrive In time. "Ever since we have been here my father has been the hero, and we the spectators, of the most imposing, beau tiful and affecting sights, the most majestic population in the world wel coming a man with common accord and conducting him in triumph throughout a journey of 200 leagues. Women wept with Joy on seeing him and children risked being crushed to get near to the man whom their fath ers kept pointing out to them as one of those who had contributed the mest to procuring them their happiness and independence. This is what It has been reserved for us to see. I am knocked off my feet excuse the ex pressionby the emotions of all kinds I experience.

It will be b.ut a few years before durable timber becomes very much dearer than It is at present. Good chestnut and white oak posts are worth now fifteen cents each, and red cedar posts twenty cents apiece, un dressed, and are hard to get at that. Ten years from now the supply will be much less. No more profitable use of land can be made' than to plant wal nut, chestnut, oak, hickory, spruce, ash, maple, poplar, willow, locust and other trees that have a value in the arts for their timber. Plant the rough land to trees. The eucalypts are now our country more extensively than any other exotic forest tree. These trees are originally from Aus tralia; they are known there under the name of antlfever trees, as by their rapid growth and large amount of foliage- they absorb the poisonous gases of the swamps, making the air , pure aud the cllmatt healthy. In Cal ifornia, Kansas and Indiana tracts of land several thousand acres in area have been planted with seedlings , of the eucalyptus rostrata for fuel, rail road ties and for windbreaks. On ac count of their rapid growth they make desirable shade trees for the dwelling and pasture lots. In many parts of the southwest the eucalypts are util ized to advantage to furnish shade in , pastures. If set along the fences and along the Irrigating ditches they can be made to protect the cattle In the pasture without at any time interfer ing with farm work. Seedlings may be had from the nurserymen in 100 lots at five cents each. There are some thirty different varieties, and all of them are said to grow equally well In the middle and southern States. Plant the hillsides in forest trees and farm the low ground. Baltimore American. i "An attack of la grippe left me with a bad cough. My friends said I bad consumption.

Lungs H I til l I I I c d :: Short gforte$ A friend of Edward MacDowell at tended a recital given by a mediocre teacher's pupils, and when he met the American composer, he remarked: "I heard one of the pupils, a little girl of 8, play your 'To a Wild Rose.' " The composer sighed dejectedly. "I sup pose," MacDowell remarked, "that she pulled it up by the roots." During the protracted sessions of the Parnell commission. Justice Day ha bitually sat with closed eyes. It was commonly supposed that his lordship was sleeping, and the late Sir Frank. Lockwood, observing that the learned Judge waa very much awakened by a little tiff between the president and Sir Charles Russell, exclaimed, quite au dibly: "This is the dawn of Dayr The late W. E. Henley once met Robert Louis Stevenson, and found his friend distressed because he was not a Voltaire or a Dumas, though he had an equipment which ought to have made him their peer. Stevenson put his "failure" down to the weakness of his lungs. ' "Perhaps .you are right, Lewis," said Henley; "I've always felt that, if I had not been a blessed crip ple, I could have taken the earth In my hand and hurled it Into the sun." A young San Franciscan, the owner of a large and valuable collection of autographs, once wrote to the late James McNeill Whistler politely re questing his signature. The letter was sent in care of the London Royal Acad emy, with which the famous American painter . was at outs. After four months, the letter was returned to the San Francisco address from the dead letter office In Washington. Covering the envelope, was the word, repeated numberless times: "Unknown," "Un known." - It is related that one evening last winter, at a dinner given in honor of Mrs. Pat Campbell, In New York, the English actress remarked, loftily: "They wanted me to play Tess of the D'Urbervilles in England, but I thought it a vulgar character, and I can't be gross, you know." This from the woman whose whole fame rested on her Impersonations of women with malodorous pasts or notorious presents was astounding to all present, each one of whom had said something in ex tenuation of the sins of poor Tess and in admiration of Hardy's masterpiece as a dramatic character-drawing.. For a moment there was an embarrassed silence, and then Miss Warren, who is to star in the play this season, spoke up innocently: ,"It is dreadful to be so sensitive. I expect, Mrs. Campbell, you find it hard even to accept your share of the gross receipts." A pretty story, illustrative of the change of feeling whichhas come over the Irish peasant toward King Ed-1 ward since the recent royal visit, ap pears in the English' press. Two Lon don journalists, on their way from Dublin to Cork, accosted a shaggy, farmer-looking native at a Queen's County station wih the words: "Well. Pat, what do you think of the King of England now?" "King of England, is it?" replied the Irishman, and there stole over his face an inimitable ex pression of drollery as he went on In a stage whisper: "Sure, avlc, . ye'll want a, .viceroy over there, I'm think in'. Himself an' herself are not goin back to yez at all!" An old dame in Galway who had spoken with the King, was questioned as to what she thought of his majesty. She delivered herself of a long and enthusiastic eulo gy, to the effect, that "Edward the First of Ireland" was "a grand man entirely," closing with the remark that she had "only wan thrifling fault to find with him," and that was that "they keep the poor man so long In the Phaynix Park beyant that they have him talkin' with a strong Dublin accent." CORRECT BREATHING. In Ordinary Life Few People Breathe as They Should. "Do you know how to breathe?" asked a dyspeptic-looking man of his companion, whose full, flqjrid face de noted a jolly nature. "In fact, I should ask how long It has been since you drew your breath." The fat-faced man moved nervously and cast a suspicious glance at his friend. He was about to reply when he was interrupted again. "The truth is you haven't breathed in weeks, perhaps months, and I can prove it. Don't be alarmed; I do not intend to hold an autopsy on you, and the coroner will" not be called in to furnish evidence of what I say. Breathing is something that very few people do. It Is not a universal habit. Less han 5 per cent of people breathe as they should. Even a larger per cent of tomato plants or oak trees breathe In the way that they should than men. You may demonstrate this fact to yourself. All that is necessary is to carry out a few simple sugges tions which I will make, and consider well the indications which will be pre sented after you have made the ex periment. Breath is life. The deli cate organs and still more - delicate muscles which are Involved in breath ing require action as much as do the biceps or triceps. Lie on youirback for thirty days and observe : how weak the muscles of the legs and body be come. They would be shrunken and flabby and entirely too weak to carry your weight. They would be impover ished. Think not, then, that the mere delicate and sensitive organs and muscles of the inner man do not need exercise. This is given them by breathing. Now, take a man who has not exercised his biceps or triceps for several weeks and let him do so for the space of three minutes. Then ob serve how exhausted he feels.' It Is because the muscles are not used to such violent action. In the same way let a man start a violent respiratory motion and continue it for "three minr utes. You will see the most perfect picture of that tired feeling that you could imagine. That will be proof enough that the person who is thus rendered tired is not accustomed to breathlflg. The proof of the pudding is m the chewing of the bag, as the old saw says. Just try this plan once. Breathe heavily and deep for two min utes on rising in the morning and see what a feeling of exhaustion will be experienced. Then you will under stand that very few people breathe as they should, and that much of sickness Is due to this fact. - Catch your breath, my friend, and you will profit by It You'll soon admit that there's a great deal hi breathing," and the dyspeptic swallowed all the ozone he could gulp down at one time. New Orleans Times-Democrat. HE WANTED TO KNOW. The Chronic Smoker Kicked, and Then He Waa Sorry. "Will you tell me why it Is that women always crowd into the three back seats of an open car?" asked the man with the bone . milk-can charm on his watch chain. "There may be seats to burn in the rest of the car, but they've got to butt In on the smokers' seats and keep some poor suf fering man from his cigarette. "If It was an arrangement of the street car company's I could under stand it. Take a train of cars and you'll see a crowd on the rear plat form of one smoking up to beat the band, and the fellows on the car be hind getting their second-hand whiffs, but not daring to smoke themselves because its against the rules. Then on some lines you've got to go In front to smoke. Oh, they're dandies! "But when it comes to women get ting -Into the smokers' seats there's no exception. They'll .take 'em for choice every time. They make men already there feel uncomfortable because they know they ought to be polite and stop smoking, and then they keep the oth er smokers out.

Maizie's Artistic Bent. , Maizie's father was a poet her mother a painter, and everybody said that Maizie was sure to be a genius; it was her fate by Inheritance. No one predicted the direction In which she would eventually turn, but when she was 8 her Aunt Mirabel was sure she would be a great singer. What her uncles thought Is of no impor tance. - They had little or no imagina tion. About the time that her aunt had settled Maizie's career. Grandpapa Wilkie said he had hopes of the child. "She'll turn out just like anybody," he chuckled. "See if she don't" It seemed, that first summer night on the farm, j as if grandpapa had struck the right note. There had been a wonderful sunset Maizie's mother, with half-shut eyes, had compared it to Claude Lorraine's paintings. Mai zie's father had looked lyrics, and the lay members of the family also ex pressed their delight In the scene. Maizie looked depressed. "See her!" whispered Aunt Mirabel. "What exquisite feeling in her face!" Maizie's parents looked but It was the grandfather who spoke. -it "What's wrong with you?" he asked. "Nothing," pouted Maizie, "only ev erybody's so taken up with the sun set, and I wanted to see the pigs fed!" Mount Cems Tunnel. The gradients are very severe in the Mont Cenis tunnel, and trains coming from France, with an incline of one In forty against them for several miles at a stretch, when followed by a cur rent of air in the same direction, pro duce what might almost be described as an Inferno. For here, as In all other steep tunnels, engines drawing heavy loads steam along with their regulators wide open, emitting huge volumes of smoke and steam, and with an atmosphere of, say, 90 degrees Fah renheit the discomfort of the custodi ans of the tunnel may be Imagined far better than it can be described. . At regular intervals of a kilometer In the tunnel there is a refuge, or "grande chamber," for the workmen. This refuge is supplied with compress ed air, fresh water, a telephone In each direction, a medicine chest, barometer and thermometer. As it is the practice of these custodians to go In pairs, if one man succumbs to the lack of oxy gen or dense smoke his companion can render assistance or telephone for fur ther help. If a man- can manage to drag his swooning comrade inside one of these chambers he has merely to close the door, turn on the store of compressed air, and wait either for the tunnel to clear or for a locomotive to come to their rescue. Strand Maga zine. World's Output or Minerals. The total amount of coal produced In the world in 1901 was 789,000,000 tons, of which the United States yield ed rather more and the whole British Empire rather less than a third. Ger many's output was almost one-fifth. The United States, the British Empire and Germany, taken together, pro duced six-sevenths of the world's sup ply. Of the total output of minerals the British Empire yielded about one third of the coal, one-ninth of the cop per, one-half of the gold, one-eighth of the iron, one-fifth of the lead, one-seventieth of the petroleum, one-quarter of the salt one-ninth of the silver, five eighths of the tin, and one-fiftieth of the zinc. More than 4,500,000 persons are engaged in mines and quarries the world over. One-fifth of them are em ployed in the United Kingdom and one third in the British Empire. - Cost of Refining; Copper. '. Two students of Cornell University have discovered that by using higher temperature and electrical currents In the ijefining of copper the cost which is now $5 a ton, can be reduced by half. ' About 180,000,000 worth of cop per Is refined in this country annually, and $12,000,000 worth of silver and $4,000,000 worth of gold are recovered therefrom. s ' Some men brag about their wive" as if they wanted to sell them. ADMI RAL SCH LEY Pe-ru-na Drug Co., Columbus, Ohio: Gentlemen -"I can cheerfully say that Mrs. Schley has taken Pe runa and I believe with good effect." W. S. SCHLEY "Washington, D. C. Amiral 'Schley, one of the foremost, notable heroes of the Nineteenth Cen tury. A name that starts terror in the heart of every Spaniard. A man of steady nerve, clear head, undaunted courage and prompt decision. Approached by a friend recently, his opinion was asked as to the efficacy of Peruna, the national catarrh rem edy. Without the slightest hesitation he gave this remedy his endorsement. It appeared on later conversation that HUNDREDS OF PIANOS RUINED. Flood Caused Lose of $200,000 in Musical Instruments. More than 500 'pianos were totally ruined in the recent floods In Kansas City. The piano houses of the city are busy tearing apart the water-soaked instruments, saving some of the hard ware, and sending the polished wood to the kindling heaps. "There is no salvage to a soaked pi ano," said a prominent piano man. "When they get w'et up to the keys they are ruined." The J. W. Jenkins Music Company lost two carloads of new pianos that aad not been unloaded from the cars. Tbey were soaked and rendered useless in the boxes in which tbey came from the factory. Then there were approx imately 350 rented pianos In the flood. These are a total loss to the dealers who had placed them in the various homes. A piano is made up of very delicate parts. One fine-looking instrument which had apparently fared well In the immersion was all in pieces at the workshop of the Jenkins Music Com pany yesterday. It did not look to be a ruin, good only for the scrap heap, but that was its announced condition. The polish on the outer surface was as fine as ever. All the interior mech anism was in apparently good shape But there were faintly perceptible warpings and a trace of rust on the metal. The keys had become swollen and warped until they were Immov able. It Is the Intention of the companies who have damaged pianos to make some experiments with the better ones in an effort to find out whether it be possible to rejuvenate the instruments. But every piano house in the city has announced that it will never send out for sale or hire any of the instruments that have been flooded. The collection of damaged pianos in the Kansas City warehouses embraces Instruments from the aristocratic $1, 500 symphony In mahogany to the humble $150 kind in Imitation of some thing which it is not And they are all valueless. The salvage is not worth more than the cost of taking the instru ment to pieces. "The hardware in them," said one of the men at work wrecking ' pianos in the warerooms of F. G. Smith, "is all that can be saved. It is worth about 60 cents In each Instrument." The value of pianos destroyed In the Kansas City flood exceeds $200,000. Kansas City Journal.

It has a beak shaped very much like a shoemaker's awl. The little bird, which is yellow in color and only three inches long, says the Philadelphia Ledger, derives Its name from the way in which It makes its nest It se lects a large leaf, hanging from the end of a twig; then it pierces a num ber of holes along the edge of it with its awl-like beak, and then gets the long fibers of plants, which make ex cellent thread, and carefully sews the edges together like a purse or a bag, using its bill for a needle to carry the thread through. The ends of the thread are knotted, to prevent them from slipping through the leaf. The stalk end of the leaf is bent and crushed so as to form a hood over the opening of the nest protecting it from curt o xt .rflin A When the leaf Is net large enough to make the nest, this bright little bird gets another leaf, pierces it with holes and pieces the two leaves together. The Interior of the nest is lined with cotton and silky grass, making a very snug and , comfortable home for the little birds. The bird and Its nest full of eggs are so very light that they can be suspended from the end of a slen der twig. Only One Wellington. Thatwas a graceful compliment which was paid to the Duke of Wel lington by Queen Victoria. Not every one recalls the fact that a certain style of high boots, not commonly worn now adays, bore the name of Wellington. When the duke was prime minister he once visited Windsor Castle to con suit with the queen on an important state matter. The day was damp, fol lowing a heavy rain, and as the duke left the castle her majesty remarked, "I hope your grace is well shod?" "Oh," said the duke, "I have on a pair of Wellington's, and am proof against dampness." The queen retorted. "Your grace must be mistaken. There could not be a pair of Wellingtons." the1 Oartersville, Oa., H. H. No. 3. I suffered for a number of years with, a severe Nettle-rash. About twelve-years ago I started using- s.
