$he wor* <j>f the last aurnmer oft the Adirondack forest preserve in Franklin county of the New York State College of. Forestry, One o f .the allied colleges which form Cornell University, has demon­strated: that the college forest will be self-supporting for years to come, even if i t does not return a small income on the State's investment, writes a correspond­ent to the New York Tribune. A railroad six miles long has been under construc­tion since Jtujy 1, and will be completed by December 1. The road is being built by the university and the manufacturing concern which ia under contract to use ten thousand cords of forest hardwood a year for the next five years. The success of the business end of this suttuner's demonstration will hardly fail to interest owners of timberland in a l l parts of the country in the management of such prop­erty o n forestry principles.

The thirty thousand acres of timberland which the State turned over to the college two years ago, bad been well called of valuable soft timber. Much hardwood, which had never been marketable in the Adirondacks, remained, and furnished the only chance of making the forest self-supporting. Professor Bernard E. Fer-now succeeded in interesting a manufac­turer of staves and wood (alcohol, and a plant was erected on Topper Lake, which is near the preserve. As the hardwoods would not float down the streams which drain the forest, it was necessary to con­struct the railroad. The Tupper Lake mill has been working at its fullest ca­pacity for some time and has demon­strated the great value of hardwood. One other firm has already begun operations on a privafertract, following the example set by the university.

A use has) been found for the brushwood which abounds throughout the Adiron­dacks. In the past it has been piled in heaps about the woods and furnished a constant source of forest fires. Prof. Fernow has constructed a machine which cuts the brushwood into faggots and ren­ders if salable to.charcoal burners. These faggots can also be used in the manu­facture of wood alcohol. There will be a little profit in the sale of this brush­wood, but the college could even afford to hear a small loss in getting rid of it.

Many of the students in the college who did not go out on forestry expedi­tions for the government spent the summer in the college forest. Young trees to the number of two hundred and fifty thousand were planted. A topo­graphical survey, with ten feet contours, was made during the summer.

There has been a large increase of stu­dents at tbe college this year.

Nominations in Canada. ToBdNTOi ONtiittet. 31.—The whole of

Canada, from Prince Edward IsJan|d on the Atlantic t o the Yukon territory on the west, was in a whirl of political excite­ment today. The last day of October was the date fixed for the nomination of candidates for the ninth Parliament of the Canadian House of Commons to be voted fqr oh Nov. 7. It was thohght [that, as usual, many members would be returned by acclamation in the constit­uencies that have long been considered as impregnable strongholds of the Liberal or Conservative parties. But in nearly all of the 318 constituencies there wilp be contests between the two great parties in Canada, and in a few there are third can­didates running as independents or labor party representatives.

The contest now on between the Lib­erals and Conservatives is being more strenuously contested than any previous selection held in the Dominion. The num­ber of Jabor candidates nominated was less than half a dozen, including two in Toronto, one in Winnipeg and one in Brit­ish Columbia. There were more inde­pendent candidates nominated than for previous elections, this being due partly to the fact that some former supporters of the Liberal Government are now op­posing their party on account of their failure to lower duties and permit of free trade intercourse with the United States.

The present contest, while lacking in great issues, is one of the bitterest and most generally disagreeable ever exper­ienced in Canada. Both Liberals and Conservatives, for tbe first time in their history, are supporting a protective tariff, or, to quote Ooldwin Smith, they are both trying to crowd each other off the same platform. The French Conservatives are attacking the Liberals because they sent troops to the Transvaal war, while in Ontario attempts are made to create a prejudice against the Liberals because they are not prompt enough in sending the troops to South Africa. The Govern­ment is charged with the sale of Senator-ships, which the Liberals deny, and at­tempts have been made to raise again the school cry.

There has been very little betting on the general result. Present prospects point to the Government being sustained by a majority of 30 to 25.

In spite of the advantages of their occu­pation there is considerable discontent among farmers, many of them complain­ing bitterly of the drudgery and isolation of their lives and the small financial re­sults obtained. It must be remembered that we do not hear complaints from the successful farmers, and possibly agricul­ture as a business is not to be blamed for the dissatisfaction that exists among others. Certainly the farmers have little cause for complaint this year. Unques­tionably the percentage of failures amoDg farmers is very small compared with the

An editor lay dying, over him and said: " '

that only four out of the vast assemblage cast their votes in favor of slant, and but one man went on record as not yet having made up his mind.

Supts. Davis and Lee, of the boroughs of Manhattan and the Bronx, and Mr. Felter, of Brooklyn, presented vigorously their objections to vertical writing, but failed to establish the superiority of slant. Supts. O'Brien and Edson, of Manhattan and the Bronx, were cheered when they explained why they bad not voted with their confreres on the board of borough superintendents in recommending the abolition of the vertical system.

eThere seems to be some misapprehension as to the meaning of the widely-advertised vote of the borough board of superintend­ents i n favor of slant. According to Mr. Davis's statement, the principals are left free to teach vertical writing if they choose, a majority of the board simply agreeing to record their preferences as in favor of the slant.!

The Behoof Journal will speak more fully upon this subject in a later number. One thing seems assured, and this i s that a vertical script has come to stay, as a standard for beginners in penmanship. Whatever changes the individualities of older writers may work in the angle are of no consequence to teachers. Their dutyiatopresentstandards of legibility and simplicity. Rapidity, though essen­tial, 'is of secondary importance. To this end there can be n,o doubt as to the su­periority of the vertical writing over s lant .—iKX Sehopl Journal.

estimating the returns for their labors, to include the farm products which are con­sumed in their own households, yet this factor ought of course to be counted in estimating results.

The complaint that farm life is dull and isolated has, perhaps, more foundation than any others that farmers make. Yet t h e removal of this drawback rests largely with the farmers themselves. Coopera­tion and association for a great variety of purposes now servo to bring country people together and afford opportunities for social intercourse oLa very pleasant kind, and these opportunities will multi­ply as time goes on. The improvement of our public highways, now so widely agi­tated, will help immensely to lessen the loneliness of country life by making in­tercourse between neighborhoods easier and pleasanter. With better roads, the leisure time of winter may be better util­ized than itr now is, and associations of all kinds for agricultural and social ends will doubtless grow in numbers and in­fluence.

Taking the question " b y a n d large, then, I think it is a safe conclusion that, While farming has its drawbacks, it is yet a reasonably safe, reasonably $ profit­able, and highly interesting occupation for a man blessed with a real love for na­ture, endowed with common-sense, and equipped with some knowledge of and a taste for the sciences that underlie the business of agriculture.—Saturday Even­ing Post.

Oratory in the Campaign.

Over 600 regular committee orators are managed from the Chicago headquarters, and several hundred from the New York headquarters. These figures do not by any means suggest the total number of speakers, for there are hundreds of vol­unteers; and, when a "regular" orator holds forth at a particular town, promi­nent Republicans, lawyers and officers of the community join him to make the demonstration a success. In the different States the chairmen of the State commit­tees have in their care a large number of "spellbinders," Whose selection and move­ments" are made in the course of constant consultation with the national head­quarters. The manager of these speakers, with a hundred or moreeverynight on his hands, with intineraries to lay out and dates to be made without conflict and with the best total effect in relation to the evening's movements—has no small task on his hands. Among the Republic­an "Spellbinders" are 50 Germans, 25 Swedes', 25 Norwegians, 10 Poles, 10 Ital-"BB&jfive Frenchmen and six Fins, There . no difficulty whatever in obtaining the iecessary quantity of campaign speakers;

In a certain North Dakota town there are two physicians, one with a long ire-cord of cures and the1 other popula|rly rated as " no good." The favored doctor found his services in great request, butj as payment was not always forthcoming jhe made a rule that a certain class of his patients should pay in advance. One winter's night he was roused by two farmers from a hamlet ten miles away, the wife of one of whom was seriously ill. He told tbem to go to the other doctor, but they refused, saying they would prefer his services. " Very weli,"jepliBd the medico, " in that case my fee is f 10, the money to be paid now." The men remonstrated, but the doctor was obddr-ate and shut down bis window. He waited, however, to hear what thB$ would say. " Well, what will wedonowjr' asked the farmer whose wife was ill. And the reply that was given must have been as gratifying a s it was amusing to the listening doctor. It was: " I think you would better give it. The funeral would cost you more." | ;

T-J sidewalk was filled with people, and she hurried along toward the Brid]_ those who were walking behind hi saw her grab her outer skirt with either band. Trailing beneath the bottom of it was a broad strip of white skirt. Before she had taken half a.dozen more steps she tripped and nearly fell. It was evident then that her underskirt had fallen around her ankles. In a matter-of-fact fashion, as if she had done the same thing many times before in a crowded street, she stopped, shook herself a bit and then stepped out of the skirt. Before any o«s except the people very near her realized what had happened she picked up tjw white skirt, rolled i t into a neat lit{l< bundle and proceeded tothe Bridge. The accident was undoubtedly embarrassm but the girl gave no evidence of i t . H she done as a young girl did in simT circumstances a year ago on upper Bread' way, and burned away leaving t ier * behind her, she would have been fol by loud laughter* : Not more thana persons saw this incident on Thursday, and the girl's matter-of-fact way in deal­ing with i t dieprhed them.—JV.
