No one who is at all familiar, with existing conditions in the lumber trade can fail to note that there is already onsiderable complaint of a dearth of desirable oak. Both in quartered and plain stock fairly good lots of dry oak are notably scarce. The leading. job- bers have had their buyers Out for months picking up anything good they could find, and the result is thata very large proportion of the oak on sticks has already passed into second hands and is held by the present own- ers for distribution to consumers. Mill men in the south are cutting it all the time, but they do not have to wait un- til it is dry, or even partly dry, before selling. If they choose to do so, they can usually negotiate for it in ad- . vance of the savving, and on terms that a few years ago would have been re- garded as extremely liberal. Oak is, perhaps, the most readily salable of any saw mill product, which fact indi- cates that it is now, and is believed likely to be hereafter, relatively a. scarce article. While there is no occasion for alarm as to the present adequacy of the oak supply, it is a question if the time has not come when serious consideration should be given to the possibility, not to say probability, that in the not dis- tant future oak may become one of the scarce w.oods It is the conviction of those who have given the closest study to oak that its present market value is based upon an incorrect idea of what is left, and that we shall wake up some’morn- ing to find that we have sold almost for a song the most valuable of our timber possessions. Oak, except in the finest grades of quartered stock, is still a cheap wood. . It is not too cheap for a variety that is in universal de- smand and in only limited supply?——St. Louis Lumberman. THE TREES OF PARIS. of the Horse-Chestnuts Bloom Twice a Year. Paris is probably the only city in the world which has trees that bloom twice a year habitually. These are the horse chestnuts. There are 17,000 of them planted in the squares along the bou- levards, and 26,000 buttonwoods. The trees in Paris are numbered, just like the people, the cabs, the animals, the lampposts and the matches. These horse chestnuts have only been doing this trick for about five years, and on- ly some of them have made a practice of it. These die, or apparently die, in the latter part of 'July, and all the leaves fall off. A month or so after- ward they all come out into flower again a::d little green leaves shoot Some forth continually until they are nipped by the first frost. There is a reason for this, and the scientists worked over the matter for a long time to be able to explain it. Briefly and unscientific- ally, the trees lose their leaves because they are attacked by a little fungus Which is blown upon them by the wvind; then, being still full of sap, they start to put forth leaves all over again. ——New York Sun. A Piano to be Played A-Bed. , A new device to cheer the loneliness of convalescence or the dreariness of chronic sickness is the piano for in- valids. On each side of the bed are the frames that supporta small upright piano. Adjustments are provided "which will secure the piano in any po- sition desired. The "keyboard . is in- clined so that the keysmay be reached easily. by the sick person. _ Of course such a piano is too expen- sive for the average invalid or for a brief illness. But it is proposed that they be hired out at moderate cost by music firms in cases of temporary sick- ness and that private sanitariums be provided with them—New York Journal. . . $16,000 for a Cablegram.

If there are any women in the world who have a right to die of ennui, it is those poor creatures of Afghanistan. Lire upper-class dames. They Spend their days doing absolutely nothing, for they disdain sewing, cooking and general household duties; they leave the care of their 'children to slaves, ‘and they can neither read nor write. Generally ,in a rich house there is one chief sla've, a sort of housekeeper, rather a grand person, whom it is al- ways wise to concilliate if you intend having many dealings with that estab— lishment. In summer she is always dressed in purest) white; in winter, velvets and br0cades are not beyond her reach. She is generally an elder- ,ly person, with considerable influence and a good deal of authority. Then there is another who is a sort of maid to the lady of the house; she, is another person with whom it is not wise to quarrel; she is always very much in evidence. She itis who pre— pares eIerthing for her mist’ress’ toilet, as also ,for her masters. It is the wife’s special duty and privil- ege, however, when the things are prepared, to wait upon her husband, when he is dressing, to pour the water over his hands and feet, during his religious washings, to spread his pray- er carpet, to put his favorite dish be- fore him,‘ and so on. It is difficult to appreciate the ex- act position of these Afghan women until one sees the way in which moth- ers are treated by their sons. They may nurse them when they are sick, tend them when they are young, but let the boys grow to be eleven or, twelve years old, and you will hear them tell their mother to “chup sho" (shut up), send them to fetch their caps and expect to be addressed by the mothers as “agha gul,” or “agha jou,” which means, “my precious mas- ter,” “master dear.” ’ Cabul mothers seldom have much affection for their children or their children for them; they do not nurse them as babies, and their babyhood is a particularly long one, for they are very backward. They belong to their nurses more than to their mothers till they are two and a half years old, and after that it is their father who notices them and not their mother. —Philadelphia Press. AN ARTIST IN A LION’S DEN. A French Painter Sketches the King of . Beasts at the Chicago Zoo. M. Rene Chateau, Frenchman, pain- ter and vocalist, charmed the wild ani- mals at the Zoo the other day, with his richtenor, and sketched a lion on can- vas. I Chateau doesn’t profess to bob tender of the king of beasts, yet he climbed into the lions’ den with Mlle. Plauka, dragged his paints in after him, and, gazing with impunity into the open jaws of five man-eaters, began to mix his colors. Mlle. Plauka, with a whip and a .32-calibre revolver, quelled the beasts. There was some commotion in the cage when the artist came in with his easel. Old Nero, the boss of the den, was an unwilling model. He was not pleased with the idea of going into his- tory in yellow ochre, and he made his displeasure evident by a series of long and loud roars. Then the painter be- gan to sing to the accompaniment of the piano on the stage. Nero joined in the chorus for a while, and then lapsed into silence, keeping his eyes critically on the artists work. Cha- teau sang “The Palms” through twice in French, and by that time his sketch was completed. . Nero’s four companions made [very Mlle. Plauka’s whip was not used once, as the si; :ht of it was enough to command silence. ’Then, again, the artist’s voice seemed to please them, for during his song they lay quietly at his feet, apparently less uneasy than when they were alone. —Chicago Inter-Ocean. COTTON GROWING IN KANSAS. In Some Instances it Pays Better Than Anything Else. It is not generally known that Kan- sas is a. cotton-producing State. Its States at the New Orleans Exposition introduction is due to the late ex~Sen- ator Daniel McTaggar-t, who had some cottonseed shipped in from the South abOut fifteen years ago. He experi- mented with it on his own farm that year, and the experiment was success- ful. The next year be increased his acreage, and induced several of his neighbors to put in cOtton. They found that it paid mt. ch better than anything else they could raise, and the following year the demand for cottonseed was so great that it could not be supplied. Since then the pro- duction of cotton in this section has steadily grown year by year until now it promises to be one of the leading products of the section. Negroes are the best hands at rais- ing this product, and the white farmer usually hires a. negro to oversee the planting. and cultivation of his cotton fields or else leases it to him on shares. A bale of cotton raised on Senator McTaggart’s place took the first prem- ium over cotton from all the Southern" in 1885.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

Dawes, who is a member of the famous Iron Brigade, and who served with Me- Kinley in Congress. Gen. Dawes and Major McKinley were also in the same army during the war, and have ever since been warm friends. Last sum- mer, at the reunion of the “Iron Bri- gade,” at Devil’s Lake in North Dako- ta, Gen. Dawes, disabled-by an acci- dent, was not able to respond to the toast in his honor, and his son was called ‘upon in his stead. The unaf- fected eloquence of Mr. Dawes, ferring to his father, moved the audio- ence almost to the point of tears, an example of the enthusiasm which Mr. Dawes can arouse as a speaker. Mr. Dawes, though his preference and instincts all turned to business, was educated for a lawyer. At nine- teen, he was graduated, wit-h honors, from Marietta College. During his va- cations in college and law school, and for a little while after his graduation. he secured the experience of a civil en- gineer by working with construction parties in building railroads, and final- ly hocame chief engineer of a road now constituting a portion of rthe Toledo and Ohio Central Railroad. In 1887, he opened a law office in Lincoln, Neb. Here, he frequently met William Jennings Bryan, between whom and himself there exists, in spite of their radically different political views, a clOse friendship. Finding a law practice hard to build up, and hav- ing more heart for other things, Mr. Dawes engaged, with capital advanced by his father and uncle, in several 01 the business enterprises of Lincoln, in- cluding a national bank, of which he was made a director; and, finding these much more profitable than the law, he practically abandoned the latter pro- fession. TOURING IN A TROLLEY CAR. Denver’s Unique “’ay of Showing Visitors the Town. A novel arrangement has been in op- eration in Denver for some time past which might well be adopted in other large cities which have a. complicated network of street railway tracks run- ning to every section of the city. The institution referred to is nothing more nor less than a personally-conducted tour of the town in a trolley car. A tourist company leases, a number of open cars from one of’izhecompanies, and by making arrangements with the other lines for the use of their tracks a complete circuit of Denver can be made. The car makes one trip in the mar u- ing and another in the evening, going the rounds of the hotels, where it l)lLl\'.~'. up the passengers. The trip covers forty miles, and is made in about two hours and a half. 'A prettily printed souvenir is given to each passenger. which illustrates and describes the sev- eral points of interest, and a guide ac- companies each car and explains and points out these as they are reached In this way, for the nominal sum of 25 cents, which is the fare charged, a .vis- ”itohban see Denver without missing: anything and without fatigue.

ILIcl-Zinley in re» and STILL HOPE FOR PEACE Clings" to Accident Theory, Despite Alarms. WAR TALK ON THE DECLINE Admi'nistration “'ould Be Prepareddor Trouble, Though and is Strongly 1);)— posed—Assistant Secretary Roosevelt Makes a Statement. , Washington March 1.—Not a. word of Information as to the findings of the Naval Board of Inquiry has come to the Navy Department that will throw any light upon what caused the explo- sion that wrecked the batleship Maine. At-the Navy Department no intimation as to the nature of the report is ex- pected before the latter part of the week. There seems to be every reason to believe that the administratibn is sincere in its repeated statements that the public knows as much about the disaster as do the President and the Secretary of the Navy. There is direct telegraphic communi- cation between Admiral Sicard at Key West and President McKinley in Wash- lngton. The wires were arranged im- mediately after the Maine was destroy- ed, so that communications could pass without being subjected to delay. So far there has been no occasion to use the special wire, but it will probably be of great service in case any trouble follows the decision of the Board of inquiry. The feature of the news ,of the past forty—eight hours with regard to the possibility of trouble with Spain is the developments regarding the action of Acting Secretary of the Navy Roose- velt in ordering guns sent from Wash- lngton to equip the auxiliary cruisers at New York, in writing a. letter to the Naval Committees of the two houses, asking for immediate authority to en- list 1,500 additional seamen, and the action of Commodore Bradford in urg- ing on the Committees on Appropria- tion of $100,000 to be immediately avail- able for the purchase of coal. These recommendations were all pro- posed by President McKinley, but Sen- ator Hale and Representative Boutelle, chairmen of the Naval Committees, and Speaker Reed, all oddly enough from the State of Maine, oppose them, and they will probably be temporarily de— feated. In the opinion of these Maine Con— gressmen, acting in harmony for the first time in years, emergency legisla- tion of this kind causes the impression to go abroad that the administration is preparing for war, and that therefore war is probable or at least possible. They think that the public mind should not be inflamed in this way; and that there will be time enough to prepare for war when war is assured. Assistant Secretary Roosevelt has therefore made an official statement to the effect that the administration does not believe there will be a. war, and. that It is only making preparations against a. possibile contingency.. This is just the attitude assumed by the adminis— tration all along. The President and all the Cabinet believe that the explo- sion which destroyed the Maine was accidental, but they fear it may not have been. They think there will be no war, but they fear there may be. It is not known whether a test of the power of the Speaker and his Maine colleagues to defeat the emergency leg- islation as asked for by the Navy De- partment will be made. Hale and Boutelle have Acting Secretary Roose- velt’s letter of Friday in their pock- ets, and may keep them there. Should it be submitted to the Senate and the House they would be acted upon favor- ably. As President McKinley has more than once expresed it. the loss of the Maine is but an incident in the Cuban question. When the news of the dis- aster came the period had almost been reached when it would be necessary for the President to deliver his ultimatum to Spain with regard to the ending of the war and the granting of. freedom to Cuba, and whatever the findings of the Board of Inquiry may be, it is un- derstood that this "will soon be done. As to the chances of war, much will depend upon the temper Of the people when the report of the Board of Inquiry is made public. Everything now indi- cates that the report will show that the explosion was not accidental. What- ever the verdict, the President will use his influence to prevent war. ' Against the Central Pacific. New York, March 1.——Word comes from W'ashlngton that Attorney-Gen- eral Griggs is preparing to bring an ac- tion against the Central Pacific Rail- road in the near future, to recover the defaulted bonds which became .due Jan. 1, 1898. No doubt of the truth of the report was expressed either in the office of the railroad company. or among financiers, who are acquainted with the Government’s policy. Only the neces- sity of getting the Cuban complication settled one way or another. it is said. has prevented a suit being begun before this. The Government has issued to the Central Pacific road $25,885,120 prin- cipal, and $45,234,554.04 interest. This debt has been reduced by transporta- tion $8, 132,357. 68, and by cash $658,283. 2’5. leaving an interest balance of $36, 443, - 913.10 on the above principal.

The Daily News Says Spain Can Expect No Support from England. London, March 1.——The Daily News, commenting editorially this morning on the relations between the United fates and Spain says: “Spain can expect no support, moral or otherwise, from England against the United States. She has ruined Cuba as she has ruined or lost every other colony by the grossest corruption, cru-E; elty, and maladministration, and she must be left to settle the account for it with those whom it may concern with— out any aid or sympathy on our part.” The Standard, in an editorial on the same general topic, highly praises Pres- ident McKinley's “statesmanlike mod- eration,” and recognizes that “it would be only human nature that proof of the Maine’s having been blown up from the outside should engender a danger- ous war feeling in America.” Sir Edward James Reed, the eminent. naval expert, writes to the Times this morning expressing the opinion that the Illaine could be refloated for a tithe of her cost. .3 J Spanish Cortes Dissolved.
