CURBING EXRAVAGANCE.
What She Asked for and What She
Got Were Different Stories.
“Some folks," remarked a well
known autolst, who had just return-

southern states, “have peculiar ideas
of extravagance. Down in Virginia

farmhouse to refill my water jug and
got intO'conversation with an old
negro who came out to render me
what assistance he might. During
the process of drawing the water
from the well he became somewhat

A WISE DOG.
A prominent Saginaw physician
while making his morning calls a
short time ago noticed a dog lying
by the roadside with a wounded foot.
The doctor, being something of a fan-
cier, stopped and dressed the wound
with such facilities as he had at hand,
and went on. The next morning, pass-
ing along the same street, he again
noticed the dog in the same place. He
redressed the wound, changed the
bandages. and left the animal as he
had doue'before. This again hap-
pened the no t morning and also con-
tinued for s .verai days.
At last the wound reached the stage
of being completely healed and the
doctor, removing the bandages, pat-
ted the dog on the head, saying:
"Well. lily good follow, 1 guess it's
all right now."
The next morning the dog was not
there. and he has not been since.
Hereafter the doctor will be more
ready to believe stories of the almost
human intelligence and gratitude of

END OF MRS. DE MASSY'S TRIAL.

of Unfortunate Circumstances.
NEW YORK, May 2.-The closing
scenes ill the trial of Mrs. Anisla Louis
De Messy, who has frequently been
mentioned as the Baroness De Messy
for the murder of Gustavo Simon. her
former employer, began in the Sup-

for the defendant said that the prose-

the defendant. This was not a case
in which the death blow had been
struck in a public place as In the case
of Stanford White, said the attorney.
That he had been shot, was admitted

SUIT AGAINST A DAM“ MAN.
Miss Less Herman Wants 010.000 Dam-
‘ from. Norman Wm
A very interesting slander suit has
just developed in Darius, and which
involves a number of well-known resi-
dents of the town.
Miss Dena Herman, a domestic in
the employ of Mr. and Mrs. Herman,
Hoefer, has brought suit through
Walsh and Hubbeil, of Norwaik,‘
against Herman Wuers for 310,000
damages. She declares in her bill of
complaint that statements whichfihe,
attributes to Wuers have greatly in-‘
jured her good name and credit.
Where's flue property in Darien has.
been attached to the extent of $10,“
000 and the case is returnable to the
Superior Court at Bridgeport on the‘
first Tuesday~ln June. .
Miss Herman charges that on var-
ious dates since October last Wilers,
while in conversation with Edward
Dyer, of Darien, some of the time
within the hearing of Mrs.’ Dyer”
made statements which would ten] to
show that she. was having improper
relations with Hoefer.
All of the statements made by
Wuers, Miss Herman says further, are
malicious and false.

Almost all the icebergs seen in the

from the ice field that had filled the
indentations of that coast the previous
winter. July's iceburgs come from
farther north, in the viclnty of Baffin

farther north, and through fewer in
number than those of the earlier

THI TI Ill SUPPLY.
Every person in the United States
is using over sili times as much wood
as he would use? if he "a in Europe.
The country as in whole consumes ev-
ery year between three and four times
more wood than all of the forests or
the United States grow in the mean.
time. The average acre of forest lays
up a store of only 10 cubic feet annusi~
ly, whereas it o ght‘to be laying up at
least 30 cubic f t In order to furnish
the products taken' out of it. Since
1880 more than,700.000.000.000 feet of
timer have been cut for lumber alone,
including 80,000.00 000 feet of conif-
emus timber in a case of the total
coniferous stummfl estimate of the
census in 1880.
These are some of the remarkable
statements made ln,Clrculsr D7 of the
Forest Service, which deals with the
timber supply of the United States
and revlefs the stumpage estimates
made by all the Important authorities.
"A study of the circular must lead di«
really to the conclusion that the rate
at which forest products In the United
States have been and are being con-
sumed is far too lavish. and that only
one result can follow unless steps
are promptly ken to prevent waste
in use and to in reuse the growth rate
of every acre of forest in the United
States. This result is a timber fanlv
lne. This country is today in the
same position with regard to forest
resources as was Germany 150 years
ago. During this period of 160 years
such German states as Saxony and
Prussia. particularly the latter. have
applied a policy of government con-
trol and regulltion which has im-
mensely increased the productivity of
their forests. The same policy will
achieve even better results in the Uni-
ted States. bmuse we have the ad-
vantage of all the lessons which illu~
rope has learnc‘d and paid for in the
course of a century of theory and prac-
tice.
Lest is might be assumed that the
rapid and gaining depletion of Ameri-
can forest resources is sufficiently sc-
countod for by he Increase of popula-
tion. it is pointed out in the circular
that the increase in population since
1880 is barely more than half the ill-
crease iu lumber cut in the some per-
iod. Two areas} supplying timber have
already repelled and passed their max-
imum production—the Northeastern
States. ill 1870, and the Lake States,
in 1890. Today the Southern States.
which cut yellow pine amounting to
one-third the total annual lumber cut
of the country,‘ are undoubtedly near
their maximum. The Pacific States
will soon take the ascendency. The
state of Washington within a few
years has come to the front and now
ranks first of all individual states in
volume of cut. 3
At present but one-fifth of the total
forest area ofthe United States is
embraced Ill national forests. The re‘
inalning four-fifths have already pass»
cd or are most likely to pass into
private hands; The average age of
the trees felled for lumbar this year
is not less than 1.50 years. in other
words. If he is to secure a second
crop of trees of the same sine. the
lumberman or private forest owner
must wait, say. at least one hundred
years for the secoud,crop to grow. As
a rule, such long-time investments as
this waiting would involve do not com-
mend themselves to_ business men who
are accustomed to quick returns. But
the states and the nation can look
lunch further ahead. The larger. then.
the area of national and state control
over woodlands. the greater is the
likelihood that forests of the country
will be kept permanently productive.

At the appoiiltedhtime he reached
