Had Effects of Forest Clearing.
No country in the world perhaps pre
sents more striking proofs of the evil of
excessive forest-clearing than the kha
nato of Bokhara. Thirty years ago the
khanata was well wooded nd watered
d regarded by Central Asians as a sort
of terrestrial paradise. About twenty-
five years ago the mania of forest clear
ing was begun, and continued until the
heavy timber had entirely disappeared.
What the improvidence and ignorance
of the rulers spared, was utterly
Burned by the fury of civil war.
menso tracts of land once well peopled
and cultivated, deprived of fertilizing
moisture, are now barren, treeless
wastes. The water-courses being dried
up, tho system of canals, which sprei
like a net-work over the khanate, has
been rendered useless. Tho raoyini
sands of the desert, no longer restrained
by the forest-barriers, are slowly ad
vancing, filling up canals and dried wa
ter courses, and will continue their
noiseless and ceaseless invasion until
the whole khanate will be converted into
a dreary waste as barren as the wilder
ness separating it frem Khiva. It is im
probable that the khan possesses either
the energy or the means necessary for
averting the desolation with which his
territories are threatened.

Mr. Winnor seldom said much about
his affection for his wife, and now that
he had taken the odd way of shutting
himself up ovory evening, slid doubted

manner.
There was never any quarrel. Sho

that—but thoro soomod to be frost iu

said, so very soon after dinner, “ And

nothing, but-, somehow, find an ex-
i for ovading tlio kiss with Whioli at

formal kissos worth," she said to- her
self, “if ho dislikes my sooiety?" And
soon came to pass that, aftor
this, she would put roses in hor black
lmir and in her bosom, and watch, with
flushed chocks, at tho window for Mr.
Waldo’S ooraiug.
She waa not iu lovo With htm—she
as in lovo with hor husband ; but hor
husband had awakened her jealous
wrath, and this young mau tioklod hor
nnity.
Ho name to hor so often, leaving for
ir sake darling girls who courted him.
no made her dolioato compliments, he
lookod at hor so. In a word, he seemed
t.o he in lovo with hor, and it was a
triumph.
Ah. if women quite understood tlio
-anitioB of men, and knew also that.
When she returned, Waldo, with
Unshod ohofaks and danoing eyes, ad
vanced toward hor.
“ How well you look," ho said. " It
is too tempting-—would you bo very
angry, I wonuor, if I should steal a
kiss ? "
Would sho havo lot him dono it?
Would sho, if at that momont a stop
had not crossed tho hall, aud a voico—
her huslmud's—called :
“ Rose, where aro you ? "
Rose Winner never know, though she
often asked herself.
But tho stop emuo, the voico came.
Thoro was tho master of tho house, aud
Mr. Waldo—not French iu his manner
now, very business like and American,
indood—had said :
“My doar Winnor, how aro you?
I’ve boen keeping Mrs. Winnor from
hor pleasant, walk, I’m afraid ; but my
sist-or wanted her receipt for canning
fruit, and I oalloil for it. I'm suro
Amelia will bo very much obliged, Mrs.
Winnor. Thanks ; hut I must go now.
Tho horsoB, you know. And I hopo
you’ll havo a ploasaut walk. Good-
byo."
“What a fluttered manner Waldo
has," said tho mau of tho house, look
ing after him. “ Roso, look out of tho
window."
“ At Mr. Waldo ?" asked Rose, coldly.
“No," said her husband, “dome
hero."
She oarao. Sho stood bosido him. At
tho pate she saw a baskot-phaotou aud
a pretty pony.
“ Nice, ain’t they ?",said hor hnHband.
“Yes," sho answered, moro coldly
still.
“ Dou’t yon guoss whoso they aro?
“ No."
He stood hank to mark hor astonish
ment. Then ho drow hor down upon
his kuco.
“ Evon sinoo baby’s coming made you
less stroug than you wore, I’yo mount
you should have thorn," ho said ; “ and
so I’ve managed to got them. I’vo bcon

If you please’m," said a voioo at
tbe door, “ a gentleman."
Robo started, and hold out hor hand
for the card tho girl presente 1.
“ Ohaunoey Waldo," was written up-
i it.
“ Yon may stay here with baby, Mag-
e,” said she. “I will see Mr. Waldo.
Mr. Winnor is engaged.”
She peeped into the glass again, and
set tied her crimped hair with hor pink
pnlrns. Her dress needed no arranging
—sho was always well dressed in the
evening—and ihon she went down into
the parlor, whore Channooy Waldo,
who considered himself tho most fas
ciimting man in the United States, sat
waiting for her.
There was no harm in going down,
It was only right to go ; but Satan,
they say, is always on the lookout for
one’s weak moments; and it seems
likely that ho sent Mr. Waldo in tho
nick of time. Rose’s vanity had been
stung, and she was anxious to prove to
herself that Rhe had not lost her power
of fascination. She proved it conclu
sively that evening.
Nothing was said, nothing was dono
that Mrs. Grundy could object to; but
there are smiles that mako tho heart of
a lady-killer flutter, and smiles that put
him at a distance by their very grocious-
ness. Formerly Mrs. Winner had given
Mr. Waldo these latter smiles. To
night she gave him the former. So that
he dared to hold her band a little lon
ger than he bail ever dono before in
parting, and to say softly :
“ May I call again very soon ? I bate
to think of your being lonely.”
For she had told f him—yes, she had
indeed—that “ Mr. Winner was forever
shut up in his study, and that she fan
cied sho should die of ennui some
day.”- Which was true enough, but
unwise statement for a pretty young
wile to make to a Waldo,
they feel far moro onntompt than lovo
weak a creature, who forgets
honor bo fur that it no longer becomes
dishonorable for them to kiss and toll.
Tho coldest salutation that honest, bus
band over gavo his wife is really worth
more than the finest flattery nnother
an oan whisper to her.
And Wiuner did not guoss at what
is going on. She wanted him to
know, that she might rack his heart,
with jealous pangs ; but she dared not
lot, him know.
Magpie, tho maid, had qnito a myste
rious air now when she brought Waldo’
card, and onoo she had whisperod :
“ But-1 hoard tho miuitar sUr, ma’am,
i if he was coming down.’’
And Roho had flushed and naked hor
why sho said that, but Maggie made no
answer.
I havou’t lived with fashionable
ladies so long not to know when s hint

If as her mistress left, tho room. And
...ere wero thoughts in her heart that
would havo made Roso Winner faiut
with shame had sho guessed them ; for
1 her hopo was that hor husband
iglit know others tlion coveted tho
prize ho did uot Value.
Still, night aftor night, that door was
looked. Still, in tho small hours of tlio
morning, the husband crept to his brief
rest. The days wore passed at business,
and though tho man strovo to ho gonial
when tho pair were together, tho woman
rofnsed to meet him half-way. A wo
man who considers herself insulted 1ms
no power ovor horsolf. It was not pos
sible to Roho to oliat, and laugh. Sho
was too much of a lady to quurrol, hIio
simply frozo.
It was a bright day in sjiriug. Tlio
fruit trees wore all blossoming,
beautiful out of doors; but in her
suburban homo, Rose Winner sat sadly
at tho window admiring nothing. Evory
now luid then vohioles passed down the
road. So many of them holding two
peoplo—man and woman—husband and
wife she made of them. But her bus-
hand novor took hor to drive, much

Just then a gay littlotnrn-out whirled
tho road 'and stopped at tho gate,
Out of it tripped Mr. Waldo. He bow
ed with an air. There wero times when
Mr. Waldo, who had boon abroad, be
came intensely Frenoli. He had a
lingering idea that the ’manner suited
the present, occasion, and ho touched
the brim of hisTiat to^liis breast, and
said :
“ Madame is amusing herself watch
ing the drive."
“Mudame" shrugged her should'
“ Amusing myself ?” she said. “ <
dear, no. Stupefying myself, I think.
Waldo, if you know any girls who
think of marrying, toll them how dull
married life is, and warn them from it."
Oh, I—I never see any girls now,
said Mr. Waldo. “Girls aro insipid,
don’t you think ? I do, lately, I like
but no matter what I like. Wouldn
you like u drive to-day? Tho good
papa” _ Mr. Waldo became French
again—“the good papa is immersed in
business, and natuially madame does
not remain at homo always."
Rose looked longingly at the pretty
carriage. But this was a step beyond
those that she had takon. Dared sho
go ?
Yes, she would, and then tell her
husband. Sho would show him that
she did not mope for him. She would
prove—oh, all sorts of things.
And papa will probably not bo

Bho was orying on his broast. But
why, ho could not guess, and asked :
“ You aro so good," sho said, “ and I
am so bad, I thought you woro tirod of
Astonished, he lookod into hor faoe.
“ I oan’t see how you could havo got

“Yes, I know it was foolish now,’
she suid, “very foolish."
But in her heart sho mudo worse no
ousations against herself than that.
Mr. Waldo called onoo more after
this, but MrH. Wiuuor was so distantly
>olito that ho oalled no moro. Ilo bo-
.iovod ho had made a mistake in uskiug
hor to kiss him—at least sho lmd be

would not flirt, and ho lost iutorost in

HASE BALL IN ENGLAND.
A London Morning Dost Criticism of
Our National canine,
Tho admirablo part of the play lmd

racy of tho catching would havo ro-

many a slow bowler onvious of tlio

skill of tho oatohiug was surpassed by
the wonder of prooision of throwing.
A momont to lo k, a rnomout to get tho
pronor equilibrium, and then tho ball is
hurled, “ Blmrp and low,” quite straight
to tho hft«oman’s hands. No fumbliug,
no half-volleys, no wido throws. Bo

Swiss Exportation for the United State
The latest Borne correspondence of
tlio McHsagcr Franoo-Amorioaiu contains
very important aud interesting statis
tics, which arc translated aud condensed
as follows. Those figures were officially
furnished to tlio Swiss federal bureau of
statistics by tho American consuls of
Zurich, Bastes, and Geneva.
During tho year 1073 Switzerland has
:portod to tho Unitod States :

The average exportation, from 1804
1872, was 50,553,870 fraucs; it readi
ed, in 1872, 59,481,103 francs. Swit
zerland has, therefore, suffered little
from the tlniinoial and commercial crisis
in the Unitod States. Tho doorcase
1873, comparod with 1872, boars only
two articles—silk goods havo decreased
by 13,700,012 francs, and watches by
5,257,304 francs. This may bo duo to
the fact that watch work progresses very
favorably in tho Unitod States, and that
Lyons, in Franco, drives au notivo com

But tho articles whioli, like tho emljroid

Louisville Courier-Journal, says
Yonder is a maiden lady whoso ha

gentle, refined, and delicate. A light
shawl covers hor shoulders, and oven on
this bright morning sho lias to avoid
tho draught, Tho gentleman, who
seems to regard her with tho tendorest
care, moves hor clmir and otherwise
seems solicitous about bor health and
oorafort. Some ore puzzled to under
stand tho relationship that exists bo
tween tho two, for they do not bear the
same name, and, besides, thoro is
nameless something which tells that
is neither husband, lover, or brother.
These relationships arc common and
easily defined, but in those days of
generated honor it is rare to find a man
devoting himself to a woman past
youth, and who is nothiug more to him
than a friend, but is tho sister of
girl who years ago was to have been
wife, and would have been but that death
interposed and tlio bridal robo became her
winding-sheet. No other lovo ban since
entered his heart, but he preserves
loyalty to her memory by a bro'hor’
lovo and protection to her only sister,
and she, in spite of ill-health, has per
formed her mission in lifo by support
ing and educating orphan nephews, so
that as she declines in yearn she has
those about her who think an ‘ old
maid’ tho dearest and best of women.”
