Spruce Beeoming Scarcer.

Spruce trees are the raw material of wood pulp, and consequently of a large propertion of the paper used in the printing trade. According to estimates given ont by the forestry department at Washington, there is only six years’ supply of coniferous woods in sight if the present rate of cousumption is kept up. Dealers in wood pulp are somewhat skeptical regarding this statement, al- though they admit the increasing scar- city of spruce in thiscountry. There are thousands upon thousands of acres of untouched spruce forest in Canada, how- ever, and the Canadian lumbermen are contemplating with no small degree of initerest the prospects of a spruce famine in the United Sta

Although essential to the mantfac- turer and to trade, spruce trees are of surprisingly small vaiue as they stand

ites.

in the forest. A writer in The Paper Mill says that there are between 400 and 600 spruce trees on an acre of

ground, such as in various parts of New England would be worth between $5 and $13 per acre. Tuking 400 trees to the acre as a basis cf calculation, it is shown that they would be worth only 2 cr 8 cents each. It is hard to realize how cheaply nature does its work in growiny forest trees. Along the upper waters of the Penobscot river the lum- berman pays about $2.50 per 1,000 feet stumpage for the right to cut 12 trees on the average in the forest, to make his 1,000 feet, or a trifle over 20 cents a tree. The cutting and hauling of these Penobscot spruce trees will average froin 40 to 50 cents each.—New York Times.

A Woman on the Fence.

A Bar Harbor man is building a high board fence at one side of Mrs. Oscar Stevens’ lot in that village. Now, does Mrs. Stevens retaliats with a higher one or take occasion to make things dis- agreeable for the invader in other such ways? Not a bit of it. She suggests that the man on the other side put up a sim- ilar structure, so that she can use her yard for a pen, intimates that the 50 foot 10 feet high matched board fence now going up will be a fine place for circus posters and then meekly remarks, ‘‘In the meantime if you see a forlorn person sitting on top of a hideous ten foot board fence, gaziug up on to Mt. Desert street, remember it is no escaped lunatic, only qa woman whose charming view of green lawns, elegant carriages, beautifully dressed ladies and God's fresh air has been shué ont and she is ‘sitting om the fence to gee them go by.’ ’’—-Bar Harbor Reco

They Don’t Like Wheels,

Cab drivers ia Loraion this season are somewhat ‘‘upset’’ about the prevalence of the all pervading bicycle. One day last week a lady and her husband were walking in their bes; garments, when they were overtaken by a shower of rain. They hailed several passing cab- men, who shook their heads and refused to answer their suniuons in the most aggravating manner iuiaginable. At last the lady, who was wichout an umbrella and clothed ina Paris ‘‘creation,’’ be- came tearful, and her husband in de- spair called out to a passing four wheel- er through the raincirops, ‘‘I'll give you 5 shillings if you will drive me to —— square.’ The cabman checked his horse and sarcastically hissed these galling words: ‘‘Zit! Go now and get your bikes!’’

Tarwickshire’s Duexing Stools.

Warwickshire boasts the possession of a larger number of ducking stools than any other English county, aud two of tho cldest have just been brought into public notice. The Warwick town coun- cil have carefully repaired the curious instrument of punishment which visit- ors to the crypt of the famous Beau- champ church there are familiar with. Kenilworth also possesses a well pre-

served ducking stool which is said to have been in use as a means of bringing

Transcript Old Custom Hevived

An ancient custom has been revived in scme English rura! districts. Clergy- men, in surplices and attended by a choir, made a tour in procession of the cornfields aud farmyards, where prayers were offered up for a blessing on the young crops.

LEGIBLE POSTMARKS.

A Serious Defect t Which Will Probably Seon Be Remedied.

There is not so much reason now as formerly for complaint about the illegi- bility of postmarks, for in all larger offices hand stamps have given place to machines that produce beautifully cleerx impressions,

Lettcrs still arrive frequently, ho.- ever, that bear only meaningless f&mudges instead of a place name aud date, while a much greater number reach their destination marked in such a way that only by the exercise of great ingenuity and the waste of occasionally valuable time can the place and day of

mailing be deciphered. And it is al- ways the letter about which some ques- ticn arises that fails to carry the de-

sired information. The depravity of in- euimate objects takes good care to illus- trate itself in every such instance, and the result is innumerable trials of pa- tience and temper. It is pleasing to leorn, therefore, that the new first as- sistant postmaster general announces the determination of reforming the whole system of making these useful, cr potentially useful, marks, and that the little cfiices must do as good work in this respect as the big ones. ‘“‘Legible postmarking,’’ he says in a recent let- ter of instruction, ‘“‘is of tha greatest importance tothe public as evidence before the courts. in business and in fixing pespona ates when mail matter has been umproperly handled by post- masters and other postal employees. The frequency of complaints in regard to defective postmarking makes it neces- sary for the department to adopt severe measures to remedy the trouble. Much of the postmarking, especially that at the smaller offices, is a reflection upon the postal service. ‘The figures of the stamp must be carefully adjusted at the beginning of each day, and then a clear ixopression must be made in a book es- pecially kept for the purpose, so as to afford evidence in the discharge of this important duty.’’ It might be of assist- ance in the accomplishment of this emall but important reform if every- body who receives an illegibly post- murked letter would make a complaint tothe proper bureau of the postofiice department. —Bew Vark Times
