1 lr CELEBRATED 8$ A
TIMBER LAND.
YTashixctox, D. C, Jan. 12, 1885.
Senator Dolph's bill amending the
timber land act "was to-day reported
favorably from the committee on
public lands. The measure is one of
great importance to Oregon andWash
mgton territory, aud thero is every
promise that it will soon become a
law. In reporting the bill back Mr.
Dolph a aid:
"The act of Juno 3, 1S78, for the
sale of timber lands in the states of
California, Oregon and Nevada, and
i Washington territory was intended
to authorize the sale of lands chiefly
valuable for timber for commercial
purposes. In tho first section of the
act tho words "and not lit for agri
culture" occur. They were evidently
put in tho law for tho purpose of ex
cluding from tho operation of tho act
lands ivhich, although timbered lands,
are of such a character as to be suit
able for homesteads, aud which may
be profitably cleared and cultivated.
Tho secretary of tho interior has con
strued the law to mean that, if the
lands when cleared of the standing
timber and stumps would be fit for
cultivation, they cannot be purchased
undar the act, and has suspended all
cntric3 of such lands. Tho result is
that the law under this construction
is useless and fails to accomplish the
purposo it was intended to ac
complish. All the land in west
ern Oregon and in western "Wash
ington ui on which valuable timber
grows is good land and will, when
cearcS, if it ever is, of the timber
and stumps, be suitable for agricul
ture. The natural wealth of western
Oiegon and Washington is largely in
timber, and the timber will never bo
extensively cut down and burned to
elear tho land for agricultural pur
poses. In most cases, the man who
lakes a pro-emption claim upon such
lands intends to secure his title for
the t'niber by an evasion of Iho law
m,Tn ,;u"-"c1"; It would, however, bo less difficult to
Tho settler who would mako tho t tb ' sstem
neessary bona fide unprovcmeiit ujon than t f ancient Ei
z quarter section of this heavily inn-1 au aml Semites- -
horedland snehasis sought for ilsj' nnrs(W eu't reunara Jicihw Mi
timber, and should comply with the , hcibw redro na tf j t tb . morr
requirement- of Iho homestead law, b E . de'dcecous saw
would prove a damage rather than a' J l rehtou-i
benefit to that portion of the county 'TLiii m tbe d(jube calIed

clearing would endanger the valuable ,
timber unon nublic and urivatc lauds
by tho liability of the spreading of
Kwra T1ir irn uliMvc ant in Mi f!nnr-!
ings during tho dry season. Under
the present ruling of the interior de
partment the most valuable timber
cannot be purchased under the act of
June 3, 1878, provided tho land could
Tae cultivated after the timber is re
moved. To expect any one to mako a
home upon such landmntil the timber i
ia removed for commercial purposes ,
is idle- To allow parties to secure
such heavily timbered land under any
law upon the pretense that it is for a
home is a farce. It is not taken for
agricultural purposes aud will not be.
It should bo sold as timber laud. In
western "Wfishiugton it is stated that
laud can be purchased from private
parties, from which the timber has
been either cut or burnt off, for SI
per acre. Tho amendment proposed
by tho bill to the existing law is to
strike out from tho first section tho
words 'and not fit for agriculture,'
and from the second section tho
equivalent words 'unfit for cultivate Mrnsolf, ask of what color he was,
tion ana.' so tmn tue lanu in uie,"""" ""t""-0 "a."
states and territory mentioned in the
lew, which is chiefly valuable for
timber, and which, in its present state,
is unfit for agricultural purposes and
cannot be rendered fit for cultivation
except by au outlay many times
greater than the value of tho land
after it i cleared, can be sold for its
timber, and the timber, instead of be
ing wantonly destroyed lor the pur
posa of clearing the laud and made
the means of wholesale destruction
to the forests of tho country, may be
manufactured and made to add to
the wealth of tho country, and the
lands by that process fitted for agri
cultural purposes, so that parties can
purchase this land of the government
for commercial purposes and not be
compelled, if they scenro it at all, to
take it under tho homestead and pre
emption laws, and in most cases to
ovado the law a3 to cultivation, to
procure title."

READING BACKWARDS.
An interestiug little volume, en
titled "Shall We Bead Backward?"
has recently been published in Lon
don. The introduction of Mr. E. B.
Carter gives much useful information
on the subject of training the eyes
from infancy in order to obtain the
full benefit of perfectly developed
sight. This is only tiossiblo by a
judicious use of the eyes, which, how
ever, does not consist in abstaining
from work in which the eyes aro used,
"idleness of the eyes,'' according to
one of Mr. Carter's former works,
"being in every way hurtful to them.'
It is, therefore, necessary to develop
the visi n by that "proper and varied,
employment which is eminently con
ducive to their preservation in beauty
and efficiency." How,, then, can we ar
rive at the highest possible stage or
tho development without injuring the
eyes? Beading is undoubtedly one
of tho commonest means, and "the
most 'readable' print is that by which
wo may obtain the maximum of read
ing with the minimum of injury to
the sight" The experiments which
have been tried by many eminent au
thorities to settle the question are
various. Light and color are of
course, two chief considerations, to
which a good deal of attention is
paid in the little book; another is
tho way in which the type is set.
European nations print, as a rule,
from left to right, but whether this
is the most readable style is by no
means certain. In ancient writings
there is much variety in the way of
writing. Aniing these, tho Mon
golian columnar stylo is not suitable
for European languages, because of
tue varying icntn or. words, as mav
be seen in the annexed illustratien:

HORSES THE
TIVE"!
JIOST AC-
Tho Arabs of Sahara are very par
ticular as to the color of their horses.
"White is the color for princes, but
does not stand heat Tho black brings
good fortune, but fears rocky ground.
The chestnut is tho most active. If
one tells you that ho has seen a horso
fly in the air, ask of what color it was;
if ho replies "chestnut,' believe him.
In a combat against a chestnut you
must have a chestnut. The bay is
tho hardest and most sober. If one
tells you a horso has leaped to the
lintlnm of n. 'nrpnJnief tvithniifc lmrt-
believe bim.
Ben. Dyab, a renowned chief of tbe
desert, bapponing one day to bo pur
sued by Saad el Zenatay, turned to
bis son and asked: "What Iborses are
in front of tbe enomyf "White
horses," replied tbe Bon. 'It is well;
let us mako for tbo sunny sido and
tboy will melt away liko butter."
Some time afterward Ben. Dyab again
turned to bis son and said: "What
horaos aro in front of tbo enemv?''
"Black horses," cried bis son. "It is
relL Let its mako for tho stonv
ground and we shall havo nothing to
fear. They aro the negroes of tho
Soudan, who cannot walk with baro
feet upon tho flints." Ho changed
his course and the. black horses wero
speedily distanced. A third time
Ben. Dyab ask: "And now what horses
are in front of tho enemy:" "Dark
chestnuts and dark bays." "In that
case," said Ben. Dyab, "strike out, my
children, strike out, and give your
horse3 the heel, for these might per
ohance overtake U3 had we not given
barley to ours all the summer
through."
