Government* Have Supervision Over Pri vate as Well an National and Couxiaunal Forests—Reforesting Carried on by Es tablished Departments. In Germany the various governments own and manage, in a conservative spirit, about 0110-third of tho forest art a, and they also control the manage ment of another sixth, which belongs to villages, cities and public institutions, iu to far as these communities are obliged to employ expert foresters and must submit their working plans to tho government for approval, thus prevent ing improvident and wasteful methods. The other half of the forest property, in the hands of private owners, is man aged mostly without interfcrenoe, al though upon methods similar to those employed by the government, and by trained foresters, who receive their edu cation iu one of the eight higher and set- eval lower schools of forestry which the various governments have established. The several states differ in their laws regarding forest property. Of tho pri vate forests 70 percent arc without any control whatever, while 80 per cent are subject to supervision, so far as clearing and devastation are concerned. The tendency on the part of the gov ernment hoc bc-er. rather toward persua sive measures. Thus in audition to buy ing up or acquiring by exeliange and re foresting waste lands—some 800,000 acres have been so reforested during the last 25 years—the government gives as- Bistaneo to private owners iu reforesting tlipir waste land. During the last 10 years $300,000 was granted in this way. Iu Austria, by a law adopted in 1852, not only tire the state forests—compris ing less than 80 per cent of the total forest area—rationally managed, and the management of the communal for ests—nearly 40 per cent—officially su pervised, but private owners—holding about 82 per cent—are prevented from devastating their forest property to the detriment of adjoiuers. No clearing for agricultural use can be made without the consent of the district authorities, from which, however, an appeal to a civil judge is possible, who adjusts the conflict of interests. Any cleared or cut forest must be re planted or reseeded within five years. On sandy soils and mountain sides clear ing is forbidden, and only culling of the ripe timber is allowed. Iu Hungary, also, where liberty of private property rights and strong ob jection to government interference had been jealously upheld, a complete reac tion set in some 15 years ago, which led to the law of 18b0, giving the state con trol of private forest property as in Aus tria. Under a law adopted in Italy in 1888 the department of agricultm-e, in co-op- eratiou with the department of publio works and in consultation with the for- estal committee of the province and the respective owners, is to designate the territory which for public reasons must be reforested under governmental con trol. The owners may associate themselves for the purpose of reforestation and for the purpose may then borrow money at low interest from the State Soil Credit institution, the forest department con tributing three-fifths of the cost of re forestation upon condition that the work is done according to its plans and within the time specified by the government. In Russia until lately liberty to cut, burn, destroy and devastate was unre stricted, but in 1838 a comprehensive and well considered law cut off, so far as this can be done on paper, this liberty of vandalism. For autocratic Russia this law is rather timid and is in the na ture of a compromise between commu nal and private interests, in which much if not all depends on the good will of the private owner. A federal law was adopted in Switzer land in 1876 which gives the federation control over the forests of the mountain region embracing eight entire cantons ami parts of seven others, or over 1,000,- 000 acres of forest. Tho federation itself does not own any foiest land, and the cantons hardly 100,000 acres, somewhat over 4 per cent of the forest area, two- thirds of which is held in communal ownership and the rest by private own ers. The federal authorities have supervi sion over all cantonal, communal and private forests, so far as they are ‘ ‘pro tective forests, ” but the execution of the law rests with the cantonal authorities under the inspection of federal officers. In France not only doe3 the state man age its own forest property, one-ninth of the forest area, in approved manner, and supervise the management of for ests belonging to communities and other public institutions, double the area of state forests, in a manner similar to the regulation of forests in Germany, but it extends its control over the large area of private forests by forbidding any clear ing except with the consent of the forest administration.—Century Magazine.

The Evening Work Ended to the Entire Satiblactiun of the Banker. It is not a fairy tale that 1 am going to tell you, though I do take you far away to the orient, to the laud of the lotus flower, tho land of the pyramids, of the obelisks and the Nile, but a story true iu word and fact. It is the story of a key, before which vast treasure houses, impenetrable for ages, opened their doors. And when the portals were thrown wide the searchers gazed upou vistas containing riches of which their wildest imaginings had never dreamed. It is not a key of gold, though its value is more than its weight in that precious metal, nor is it shaped like a key at all. And the wealth it unlocked is not only for its finders, but for all that desire to partake of it, for all pos terity, for you and for me. I speak of the Rosetta stone, which is now in the Brit ish museum. Many ages ago Ptolemy Epiphenes, king of Egypt, paid the arrears of taxes and other debts of the priesthood of Egypt, and in thanks and to show their respect for his consideration the priest hood, at a synod hold in Memphis, passed a decree commemorating it. The decree was cut into stone, as that was the mode of preserving a record of historical events. This happened about 195 years before tho Christian era. You must know that the Egyptians had a different mode of writing from ours. They used hieroglyphics or picture writing, and this, after great research, has been discovered to be the written in terpretation of sounds. That a record of Epiphenes’ deed might not be lost the Egyptians had the decree written in three different lan guages, the hieroglyphic, the demotic and the Greek. This was done as a pre caution, because, as the country had many dialects, a language once iu use- was likely to die out in time. 80 by making this trilingual copy of the event, each a translation of the other, it was likely to be preserved. Years passed, and the dust of ages buried from view the stone that was des tined to play so important a part in throwing a light upon the shadowy con ceptions of modern thinkers regarding the past life and manners and customs of the Egyptians. This is the origin of the Rosetta stone, but no one in the modem world knew of its existence until the time of Napoleon. He carried his conquering arms all over Europe, and not content with his vic tories there he invaded Egypt, where he fought the brilliant Egyptian campaign. While stationed near Rosetta, in lower Egypt, some of the soldiers with the French engineer, M. Boussard, found, while excavating iu the historical soil, a block of stone of black basalt, about 8)5 feet In length and a little more than 2 % feet in width. On it they saw strange and unintelligible wirting or drawings. It was the Rosetta stone, so called from the name of the place where it was found, but they did not dream how pre cious their discovery would prove. And it was not until about 15 years had passed that even one word was translated. Dr. Young in 1815 made out the word Ptolemy, and he it was who discovered that the writing was phonetic and not ideographic, as had been supposed. But the key bad not yet done its work, for, like Aladdin and his lamp, the talisman had not yet been conquered. Dr. Young, continuing his research, deciphered the word Berenice among the pictorial writings of the frescoes at Karnak. But it is to Champolion that most of the credit is due, for he contin ued the research unremittingly, and finally his labors were crowned with vic tory. The translation of the Rosetta stone was completed—that is to say, so far as the stone itself is complete, for one part of it is broken off. It was not an easy task to conquer, but one well worth the attempt, and honor will ever redound to the men that undertook and succeeded in opening up the broad field cf the literature of the east, the field that glows with glorious deeds and vast achievements, and that for ages baffled the wisest.—Philadel- piha Times. The game wore on. The banker, who sat at the head of the 1 table, was kept busy selling stacks of chips. The betting was heavy, und there were but two men who seemed to be winning anything. The blue chips all came tlieir way. It 1 was simply a case of bullheaded luck. Il’ a man held four kings, one of this pair would bub up with four aces or a straight flush or something of the kind and spoil all calculations. It was exasperating, but it couldn’t bo helped. Meantime the two lucky players con versed cheerfully about their luck and what they intended to do with tho mon ey. "I shall,” said one, “go down to a fur store and buy my wife that cape she has been wanting so long. I know it is rather late in the season, but this is an experience cf a lifetime, and I don’t think that it will spoil by the keeping. ” “I shall," said the other, "take part of mine and get a new spring suit. With the rest of it I intend to take a trip to New York. I haven’t been down there in a year, and I'm just about due for some fun. ” The game continued to wear on, and the other players cursed their luck be neath their various breaths. It came to lie midnight, and 1 o’clock and 2 o’clock, and the game was still in progress. The two men were still win- 1 ning. Nothing could stop them. At 8 o’clock eveiybody was tired, und it was decided to quit. The table in front of the two lucky men was covered with chips. The banker pushed back his chair and said, "I am ready to settle, gentlemen.” It didn’t take long to settle with the men who had not been lucky. Then it came to lie the turn of the lucky ones. "How much have you got, Jim?” asked the banker. "Three hundred and forty, ” replied Jim. "And you, Bill?” “An even 400. ” The banker took a slip of paper and did some figuring. Then he dove down into one of his pockets and produced some thin white slips of paper. "Here’s yours, Jim, ” he said, pushing two slips across the table, "and hero’s yours, Bill.” “What are these?” askod the two lucky men in concert. “1 O. U.’s, ” the banker answered sententious!}-. The two lucky men gasped. They looked at tho papers and saw that the signatures were genuine. Then they tore them up and stalked out together. "By George,” said tho banker, "I thought they would never get enough won to pay off those I. O. U. ’s. ” “What do you mean?” asked the stranger in the game. “I mean.” said the banker as lie smoothed out a big wad of bills, "that it’s dinged tiresome work dealing big hands to two jays like them just be cause they stuck you once with their pa per. ” And the stranger in the game saw a great light.—Buffalo Express. No More Milk. ‘ There is no more milk in the world, ’' said an old gourmet us he sat at his luncheon at tlie Manhattan club. "It has gone, and not even a bubble of regret seems to mark the spot where it sank ! out of sight. Milk, the earliest staff of ail generations, is now a thing unknown in polite circles. It’s all cream now. It does not matter whether I dine here or in Texas or in California, everywhere the waiters ask: ‘Will you take cream in your coffee?’ and ‘Will you have cream hot or cold?’ The good old staple, milk, is no longer called by name. Even in Chicago they call it cream. Milk is tabooed. It has gone out of existence with the word ‘woman, ’ the word ‘un dertaker, ’ the word ‘dress’ and a lot of other noble terms. Now it’s always cream, lady, funeral director and gown wherever you go, even in Chicago. And yet the ‘cream’ is often pale blue and thin, and if it was not served as cream I would swear it was milk, and darned bad milk at that. ”—New York Sun. A Kcal Lake of Fire. The greatest natural wonder of Ha waii, if not in the entire world, is Lake Dana, or Dana lake, a body of molten lava 10 miles in circumference. To the sightseer the surface of this wonderful lake appears as if it were a sea of redhot water dashing against the cliffs which surround it on all sides to a height averaging 100 feet. J. J.

In the laboratory the growth of a plant may be rendered visible by attaching a fine platinum wire to the stem or grow ing part. The other end of the wire, to which is fastened a pointed piece of char coal, is pressed gently against a drum. The drum is covered with white paper and kept revolving by clockwork. Of course if the growth is stationary a straight line is marked on the paper, but even the slightest increase is shown by the inclined tracing on the paper. By a simple modification of this ar rangement, the growth of a plant can be rendered audible. The drum must be covered by narrow strips of platinum foil, say one-eighth of an inch wide and one-eighth between each strip. If the strips of platinum be made to complete the circuit of a galvanic bat tery to which an electric bell is coupled up, then the bell will continue ringing while the plant grows an eighth of an inch, followed by silence while the pointer is passing over the space between two strips, for the next growth of an eighth of an inch, and so on. The growth of some very rapidly grow ing plants and the opening of some flow ers, such as the compass plant, can be heard direct by means of the micro phone. By the above means it has been proved that plants grow most rapidly between 4 and 6 a. m.—New York Jour nal. Kept Her Word. Two young ladies were walking in the woods one day, when they were accosted by an old and much shriveled gypsy, who politely offered to show them their husband’s faces in a brook which ran near by for a slight remuneration. So, paying the sum, they followed the hag to the brook, as they were very curious to see how she could do so wonderful a 1 thing and also arxious to sec their fu ture husbands. But instead of beholding the faces of the men they so fondly hoped for they saw their own. "We can see nothing but our own faces, ’ ’ said one. “Very true, mem,” replied the sa gacious fortune teller, "but these will be your husband’s faces when you are married. ”—Exchange.
