A careless mason dropped a brick
torn -the -second story of a building on
which he was at work, says an ex
change. f Leaning over tbe wall and
glancing downward, he discovered a
respectable citizen with his silk hat
jammed over his eyes and ears, rising
from a recumbent posture. The mason,
in tones of apprehension, inquired:
Did- that brick hit anyone down
there?" The citizen, with great diffi
culty extricating himself from the ex
tinguisher into which his hat had been
converted, replied, with considerable
wrath: "Yes, sir, it did. It hit me."
"That's right," exclaimed the mason,
in tones of undisguised admiration;
"noble man, I would rather have wasted
a thousand bricks .than &ave you te.
me a lie about it."

The following letter was received by
a resident of The Dalles in answer to
inquiries about the Cascade reserve,
and conveys xouie iufurination of im
portance to sett ers.
Your kind favor is j ist at band in
which you call attention to matters
connected with the ('as -ade Forest
Reserve. I aui glad to receive your
opinion as to tbe proved jurisdiction
over that reserve. Thecomplaintcon
tained in the clipping f om tbeTacoma
newspaper is without any foundation
whatever; there is not an item of truth
in it. No reservation has any effect
upon mining territory, nor does it af
fect whatev r any claim, agricultural
or otherwise which have been initiated
prior to the reservation order. Tbe
clipping referred to state that its ef
fect is to reserve frm settlement, and
mining operalicns 84 per cent of Jt ffer
son county. That cannot be trut
since all such settlements a d all rain
ing operations are recogniz d undi i
the reserve. Any lands inside of
reserve more Valuable for other put
po.-es tbau fr forestry can under lh
la, us it now stance aod under our
regulations, upon a satisfactory show
ing, be excluded from the rsei vation.
1 he geological survey is uow at work
under tbe large appropriations madt
by congress making surveys of all
such character of territory in the re
serves. There has been a yreatdeal o'
erroneous impression with regard to
the nature of these reserves. You also
fun that there should be an orUt r
allowing any citizen for a reasonable
compensation to go upon said reserve
and tat-- any dead, down or o'.her tim
ber that is ful'y matured and which
can be removed without injury to tbe
young growing timber. I have tore
ply that this is also permitted to be
ione under our rules and regulation.
We are selling timber from reserva
tions such as you describe. Having been
a long time iu the West myself, I baa
much to do in the framing of the reser
vation rules, and I made it my duty to
make tbem so liberal as well as elastic
tbat no material interests should be
impaired, while at the same timeout
great forests would be protecteu. I
expect to realize enough money frnai
timber sold from reservations to pa
for tbe entire force required to protect
t;it-ra as well as to prevent fire.. The
ques ion that is agitated cow is as lo
whether stock men going in upon tbe
reserves sii. uld be permitted to grazt
upon any specific portions, or whether
they should be required to baye per
mils for a general pasturage upon anj
portion, and whether they should alst
be subject to some compensation in or
der to recompense the government for
tbe expense of protecting tbo reserves

FLGRIDAS HELPFUL SPIDER.
He la Asalatlnff to Clear the St. John'
River -of Hyacinth Blockade.
Prof. H. J. Weber, expert appointed
by the agricultural department last
year to investigate the pest of the water
hyacinths, which are fast blockading
our rivers, has faith in the destructive
ness of the red spider which has been
ravaging the leaves of the plant. To
examine more closely the work of this
insect, says the Florida Times-Union,
he gathered plants in Lake Monroe and
placed them in ponds in his own yard.
The spider, he says, is not quite so large
as the head of a pin, and is a new spe
cies, according to Prof. L. O. Howard,
chief of the entomological division of
the department of agriculture, to whom
were sent specimens. The little fellow
multiplies with exceeding great rapid
ity, weaves his web from leaf to leaf,
raises his numerous family and attacks
the leaves, devouring them almost com
pletely. "Don't understand me to say," said
Prof. Weber, "that the red spider will
destroy the hyacinths completely. His
work will be beneficial, and if reen
forced by other diseases of the plant
will no doubt open the rivers complete
ly. It is highly important, in my opin
ion, for the government to eend an ex
pert in South American rivers to im
port all of the enemies of the hyacinth.
This, I think, will be the most effective
way in which to destroy the pest."

Metallic Cheese.
It has been a common theme of con
gratulation by not a few writers and
philanthropists, says the London
Lancet, that the days are over when
people were poisoned by the indiscrim
inate practices cf the adulteror, and
that now they are enly cheated. What
will be said, then, cf the announcement
that both the salts of zirrc and lead are
used in the rreparution of cheese?
"Cheese spice" is the delectable name of
crystallized sulphate of zinc, which, ac
cording to Mr. Allen, the public analyst
of Sheffield, is used to prevent the heav
ing and cracking of cheese. Worestill,
Mr. Stoddart, another public analyst
has described a sample of Canadian
cheese in which ha found metallic lead,
and it is probable that the highly poi
sonous acetate of lead was employed
for the same purpose as the sulphate of
zinc.

TIRE HINTS.
Carry Tire Tape, Chewlnar Gum, Fost
Sfe Stamps and Plnge.
A puncture haa been successfully
sealed by a postage stamp and tire
tape.
Chewing gum, carefully spread over
a puncture and held fast by tire tape,
baa saved many a weary step. 1
A leaky valve is quite beyond the
stoutest and "stickiest" tire tape ever
made.
The best remedy for a side cnt along
the rim is a walk to tbe nearest railway
station.
Don't try to mend a No. 10 puncture
with a Nd. 2 plug. It's time and pa
tience thrown away.
Instances are on record wherein a
cyclist, without any other available
remedy, filled his tire with water, and
thus rode home.
Neither broken toothpicks nor
matches make successful plugs. Don't
believe the man who told you he mend
ed a puncture in that manner.
A tire that jumps the rim can bekent ,
in place, even if the rider has no cement.
oy tying xigntiy ana innating it after
it is tied in position.
Wheelmen who live in states where
the pine trees grow, and who do not
chew gum or carry postage stamps,
scrape resin from the trees and mend
the punctures with that.
Court plaster, assisted by tire tape,
will last for a time over a puncture.
Some kinds of court plaster ore quite
porous, and, if used, will require many
applications of a pnmi to the tire.
Moral Carry tire tape, chewing gum
postage stamps and rings whenever
you are going out of sight cf a repair
shop. You can probably get water and
sand on the way. Jew Haven (Conn.)

New Voice lit the Telephone.
A gentleman who has a telephone in
his house has in his employ a faithful
but stupid German girl, who one day re
sponded to the ringing' of the telephone
bell.
"Who is there?" came over the wire.
"It is I," replied Katrina.
"And who is I?"
"Why, I am I."
"But who is I?" came over the wire.
"I am rue, my own self," retorted Kat
rina. "How should I be anyone but
me.
"But who are you?"
"I am my own self."
"What is your name?"
"Katrina Kupr-er."
"Well, who is Katrina Kupper?"
"She is me. I, my own self."
And when Katrina beard laun-hter at
fhe other end of the line she said, in-
iignantiy:
I vill not sthay here to be made a
:hoke of," and she walked array from i
he telephone, rTumtlinc: "How cou!d
