Influence of Forests on Fish.
Timberman.
Although scientists are i?ot in perfect
accord as to the influence that forests
exert upon climatic conditions, never
theless there is sufficient agreement
among them for us to know that they
do exert powerful and beneficial influ
ences in many directions. The forest
acts like a great sieve, and retains the
line particles of the soil, which the in
fluence of the air and sun, the forest
and rain, and the action of the number
less roots have decomposed. In all for
est countries the changes of tempera
ture are not so severely felt as in a tree
less country, or on the open plains, and
it is a popular saying that the forest
streams are cool in summer and warm
in winter. Theforfists not onty regulate
the flow of water, but they purify it.
Where the water of a stream has been
polluted, as by sheep washing, for in
stance, after having passed for a few
miles through a shady and dense forest,
the water appears as dear as it was pre
viously.
Again, it is thoroughly well establish
ed that the presence of large tracts of
timber has a well defined influence upon
the rainfall of the districts in which
they are situated. Certain parts of
France which have been denuded of
their forests are subjected to disastrous
overflows, which occur almost annually
and cause great destruction and distress,
although such visitations were entirely
unknown in the previous century while
the forests were yet intact. In our own
country, as well, the same effects have
been observed, and the destruction of
forests has proceeded so rapidly in Prus
sia of late years that the government
has passed a law protecting timber. It
was found that the climate in many dis
tricts was changing, and rivers and lakes
were becoming shallow in consequence
of tiie wholesale cutting away of wood
This feature of sylvan influence is oft
en adverted upon, but there is another
manuer in which the presence of trees
exerts an influence that is not so gener
ally known.
Close observers have ascertained that
rivers running through treeless tracts
of country are nearly, if not quite, des
titute of fish, and that fish will desert a
stream from which the timber has been
removed, although they previously
•swarmed therein. In the propagation
of fish it is not enough to place the fry
in the water; they must be provided
with food, and the best means to do
this is to preserve the border trees, and
insure a steady supply of water and
food by preserving the forest whence
the supply of food is derived. If new
forests are cultivated on the barren
ranges, many a stream, now nearly
empty during the dry seasons, will be
refilled with fish and food for the many.
To see the conversation and cultivation
of forests beginning to receive even a
modicum of the attention it deserves
is a matter of rejoicing.

We have seen going the rounds sev
eral compositions written by boys on
the subject of girls. Here is a little
girl’s composition on boys, in which
she shows that her sex, no matter how
young, can get ahead of the boys ev
ery time: “Boys are men that have not
grown as big as tlydr papas, and girls
are young women that will be young
ladies by and by. Man was made be
fore woman. When God looked at
Adam He said to Himself, ‘Well, I
guess I can do better if I try again,’
and then he made Eve. God liked Eve
so much better than he did Adam that
there has been more women than men
ever since. Boys are a trouble. They
are wearing on everything but soap.
If I had my way half the little boys in
the world would be little girls, and the
rest would be dolls. My papa is so nice
I guess he must -Lave been a girl when
he was a boy.”

“I say, Levy,” remarked the cop the
othev morning, “that was a pretty val

week?”
“You bed id vas,” answered Levy, “I
had jusd refused fourdy-fife tollars for

“Too bad it’s gone,” said the cop
sympathetically.
“O, dats all right; I got it back.”
“You did?”
“Yes, one of der dedectives arresded
der fellow vat stoled id and recovered
dor goots, and he vas conwicted in der
police court and was sent up for thirty
days to der house of gorrecdshun.”
“Thirty days!” exclaimed the blue-
coat. “That’s rather a small sentence
for grand larceny.”
“Vat, is it grand larceny to steal dose
clo’es,” asked Levy.
“Of course it was. Stealing anything
over $25 is grand larceny, and you say
it was a $45 suit?”
“And vat vas stealing anyding under
twenty-fife dollars?” asked the cloth
ier.
“ “Oh, that is simple larceny.”
- “Oh. veil, dis vas simble larceny den.”
< “A $45 suit simple larceny! You must

temptuously.
“Xo, I ain’d, minefrent; you see dot-

“I do, indeed,” responded the young
man with emotion. “And there is one

respect but adore, and she adores me.
“You are fortunate.”
“Fortunate is no name for it, my ven
erable friend. Why, in the summer
time that girl clerks in an ice-cream
and confectionery shop, and in the
winter she is cashier in an oyster
saloon.”
“Willie,” sorrowfully observed the
little girl to her juvenile adorer, “Papa
says I’m too young to have a sweetheart
and I must quit running out and play
ing with you. He says you musn’t come
here so much.”
“I’m not afraid of your papa, Katie,”
said Willie, stoutly. “He needn’t think
he can scare me because he’s a big deal

“Yes, but he deals in shingles, Wil

“That’s so,” said Willie, turning away
sadly.

“Certainly I do.”

AS THE HART PANTETH AFTER
THE WATER BROOK.
Suggested by Dr. Talmage’s Sermon on
Psalms, 12:1.
The mountains are rugged and wild and sweet
With balsam and fir aud odorous pine;
The giant trees,beneath their sheltering green
With seeming safety lure the herding deer;
The lakes so sweet and cool sleep far below
The shade of precipice and mountain side.
Beneath the trees, alert, the hunters wait
With deadly weapons and unerring aim.
The swift, keen-scented hounds upon the track
Bay loud aud deep. Onward the hunted stag,
Majestic in his flight, sweeps grandly by,
With branching autlers lifted high in air.
Its sad eyes glance afar to find escape
From its pursuing foes. Its burning lips
Part wide from over the parching, aching
tongue,
That panteth for the water-brook so cool.
With action so intense each muscle quivers;
Its trembling haunches hang with lather
white;
Its sharp-cleft hoofs scarce touch the pebbly |
earth
So close the chase. Aud now with loud drawn
breath.
One agonizing glance, one effort more su
preme,
He gains the cliff. Down from the pricipice
He plunges; down, down the maddeuing steep
Into the cool, calm lake with restful shade,
Where lotus blooms lie on its cristal bed.
Poor hunted stag! At last escape is sure.
Cool here thy glossy hide, and rest thine eyes,
Lave every tired limb and drink thy fill.
All! Christian, seest thou the vision clear ?
The world is the forest, aud thou the deer.
The hunters are Sin, Misfortune, Malice.
Awaiting the time to wound and to slay.
The baying pack so close upon thy heels,
Are the hounds of affliction, pain and care;
Estrangement, perhaps, and poverty, too.
Driving ttiee hard to the brink of despair.
Fly! fly to the 1a£e of solace divine;
Plunge in its bosom of rest and of peace;
Run to the waters of God’s consolation
And swim in the depths of Almighty love

In Memory of Johnnie Simms.
There is no flock, however watched aud
tended,
But one dead lamb is there;
There is no fireside, however defended,
But has one vacant chair ”
On the morning of August 24th, 1888,
the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ben. Simms
was made sadly desolate by ‘the death
of their beloved son, Johnnie, aged 19
years.
How sweet a life was his, how sweet a death!
Living to wing with mirth the weary hours,
Or with romantic tales the heart to cheer;
Dying, to leavo a memory, like the breath
Of summer, full of suusliine and of flowers—
A grief and .gladness in the atmosphere.”
Previous to his death he was a pupil
of Prof. Walker, where, by his thor
ough and conscientious devotion to
duty, he won the confidence of both
teacher and schoolmates. His bright
and genial disposition made for him a
host of friends, who will ever remem
ber him as a being in whom joy and
happiness were inseparable. During the
last revival at the Baptist church he
committed his soul to the keeping of
the Good Shepherd, bv whose hand he
was led “into the paths of righteous
ness,” until, at last, the angels called
him to the broken choir of heaven.
It seems that the brightest and most
promising are always the earliest to be
removed from our midst, blighting all
our fond expectations and throwing
back the streams of affection in Alpine
torrents upon our hearts. The high
and glorious ambitions that dwelt in
the temple of sweet Johnnie’s heart
were nipped in the bud, but they blos
som more beautifully in the celestial
clime above.
When he became aware that death
was approaching,
“Dear Johnnie’s hope no fears could blight,
No pain his peace destroy;
He looked beyond to realms of light,
Of pure ai.d boundless joy—
Aud said, ‘The will of God my will shall lie,
So I bow to tiie His uis'ine decree.’”
The idolizing parents, devoted broth
ers and sisters, can but sorely miss him;
for never was a son or brother more af
fectionate or more worthy of the love
lavished upon him than Johnnie. But
it will be a sweet consolation to know
that he was removed—
“Ere stain on bis purity fell,
And witli his soul ‘It is well.’ ”
“We must all learn to give in joy and pain
The flowers we most do love,
And remember we’ll find them all again
In the beautiful home above;
They will all bloom in the fields of light,
Transplanted by His care,
And always robed in garment s whit",
The saored crown they’ll wear.
“Dear Johnnie is sleeping! the violets which
grow
On the graves of the lovely and puie,
Smile sweetly to think the angels are waiting
To bear him above to the realms of the blest.
Where all weeping and sorrow is o’er.”
Then why need we weep? He only
apeareth to die, when in truth he is
only quietly sleeping—
“Awaiting the call from above.”

B. AGAINST OTHER REMEDIES.
Putnam Co., April 27, 17.
I have been suffering tor most thirty year*
with and itching and burning all over my
face and body.* I took eighteen bottles of one
blood medicine aud it did me no good. I com
menced last January to use B. B. B., and al
ter using five bottles I felt stouter and better
than I have in thirty years, my health is bet
ter, and I weigh more than I ever did. The
itching has nearly ceased, and I am confident
that a few more bottles of B. B. B will cure
me entirely. Iam sixty-two years old now
and can do a good day’s work in my field. X
consider B. B. B. the best blood purifier tbatjl
have ever seen, for it certainly did me more
good than all the medicine I have ever taken.

My little son, 14 years of age, suffered from an

exposure and chilling of the blood. I heard
your remedy highly recommended, aud pur
chased a bottle from Moncrief & Bro., Pres
cott, Ark. In about one month, after using
this bottle he became so much better that I
got the second bottle, which is now being us
ed. and my son is nearly well, and I think by
removing him to a cooler summer climate
(which I will do) and continuing its use, a
periect cure will be effected. I consider B.B.

THE WORLD CHALLENGED.
- To produce anything like an approach to our now justly celebrated Blood Remedy, B. B. B., we make bold to
claim the following special points of value and advantage over any other remedy on the market: 1. That it consists'
of the most valuable remedies known to the medical profession. 2. That the combination of the remedies lias never
been equaled in any medicine that has ever been known. 3. Its beneficial results can be felt sooner than by the use of
any other remedv. 4. It takes iess quantity and less mouey to produce a cure than any other remedy. We are
willing for B. B. H. to stand on its own merits, and as our words are unnecessary in proving its efficiency as a blood
remedy, we simply inVite a careful perusal of the following voluntary certificates from the thousands who have tried it.
They are eloquent tributes, and speak for themselves. To the skeptical, we would further say : Inquire of your
neighbor who lias tried our great remedy. Here are the certificates :
A REMARKABLE LETTER.
Down Two Years With Rheumatism |
and Now Entirely Well.
I have been troubled with rheumatism for
two years; had gotten so I could scarcely
walk, and was in pain nearly all the time. At-
night could not sleep for tiie exerdeiating
pain. The bone in one of my legs was very
much enlarged, and 1 feared that amputation
would be necessary. After trying many dii-
ferent patent medicines claiming to cure
rheumatism and other complaints, I was al
most discouraged until about two weeks ago,
when 1 had to give up business, Mr. W. J.
Willingham, of your city, hearing of my com
plaint, advised the use of your medicine, and
assured me of his confidence in it as a cure
for rheumatism. I at once purchased a bot
tle, hoping it might relieve me, but not having
much faith in it, or in anything else; but,
thank God, I mil very inuen relieved, and I
firmly believe T will get entirely well. The
swelling 1ms gone down and I am in no pain
whatever. Am at work again, and 'nave been
for several days. Can run up and down the
stairway in factory as nimbly as ever. I
thank you for this earthly salvation to me.
I write without your solicitation, or any
knowledge of you, except through your med
icine. I write because I feel grateful for what
ims been done for me. I am yours, very
truly, W. A. Moore,
Foreman for Willingham Lumber Co.,
Chattanooga, Tenn.
If any one should doubt as to my being
cured, oV as to my statements, I refer them to
the firm I am with and have been with for
many years: Mr Phillip Young, Of Chatta
nooga; Mr. Hamilton, foreman of carpentry,
with W. L. A Co., Chattanooga; Dr. Acre, of
Chattanooga; Mr. Phil Hartman, shipping
clerk for W. L. Co.; F. B. Cheek, Chatta
nooga ; Mrs. Cooper. Chattanooga, and one
hundred others in factory and in city.
SHE HAD TRIED EVERYTHING ELSE.
Clover Bottom, Sullivan County Tenn.,
June 20, 1887.—Blood Balm Co. Atlanta, Ga.—
Sir: I hayq, been thinking of writing to you
forsouse time to let you know of the wonder
ful cure your B. B. B. has effected on myself
and daughter. She, a girl of 16 years, was
taken with a very sore leg below the knee. I
used aoout 30 bottles of other medicine to no
purpose. The doctors said the only remedy
left was amputation. That we all were op
posed to. I was in Knoxville tiie 8th of Jan
uary, 1887, and while buying a bill of drugs
called for a good blood purifier, and Messrs.
Sanford, Chamberland & Co. recommended
the B. B. B. I purchased one-half dozen bot
tles, and, to m.v utter surprise, after using
three or four bottles, my girl’s leg was entire
ly well. I also had a very ugly running sore
on the calf of my leg and one bottle cured it,
after trying all other remedies. I wish you
much success, and I do hope that all suffering
humanity may hear and belteve in the only
true blood purifier. I have tried three or four
blood purifiers, but the B.BSB. is the only one
that ever did me or mine any good. You can
use my name if you wish. I am well kuown
in this and Washington county, also all over
Virginia. R. S. Elsom.
BLOOM TAINT FROM BIRTH.
Booneville, Ind., January 27, 1887.
I shall ever praise the day that you gentle
men were born, and shall b ess the day that
your medicine was known to me. I had blood
poison from birth, and so much so that all
the doctors of my town said I would be crip
pled for life. They said I would lose my low
er limb. I could not stand in my class to re
cite my lessons, and eleven bottles of your
Balm cured me sound and well. You can use
my name as you see fit- Iu my case there
were knots on my shinbones as large as a
hen’s egg. Yours, Mihtle M. Tanner.
A GOOD EXPERIMENT. '
Meridian, Miss., July 2, 1887.
For a number of years I have suffe red un
told agonies from the effects of blood poison.
I had my case treated by several prominent
physicians, and reeived but little, if any relief.
I resorted to all sorts of patent medicines,
spending a large amount of money but getting
no better. M.v attention was attracted by the
cures said to have been effected by B. B. B.,
and I began taking it merely as a experiment,
having tut little faith in the ultimate results.,

AFTER TWENTY YEARS.
Baltimore, April 20,1887.—For over twen
ty years I have been troubled with ulcerated
bowels, and bleeding piles, aud grew weak and.
thin from constant loss of blood. I have used
four bottles of B B. B. B., and have gained 15
in weight and my general heal th is better than
for ten years. I recommend your B. B. B. as
the best medicine I have ever used, and owe
my improvement to the use of Botanic Blood
Balm. Eugenius A. Smith, 31S Exeter St.

found difficulty in attending to my business,

bottles of B.B B., Botanic Blood Balm, of
Mr. T. C. Jones, of J. R. Irwin & Son. and my
general health has improved and the rheuma
tism left me. I believe it to be a good medi-

IT REMOVED THE PIMPLES.
I have been a practical druggist in Tyler for
a number of years, and in that time have’had
occasion to examine, try,and notice the effect
of nearly all the highly recommended prepar
ations m- patent medic nes on the market, as
I have suffered untbid misery myself, the'past
number of years, fiom a severe form of in
flammatory rheumatism, and could fiud
nothing to cure or rtlieve me. I had almost
drawn a conclusion that all patent medicines
were more or iess frauds until about one year
ago, I was induced by a friend now living in
Tyler to try a preparation known as 8 B„ or 1
fcfotanic Blood Balm, ind after a long per
suasion on iiis part, 1 finally made*up my
mind to make one more .ffort to rid myself
of the terrible affliction; and now it affords
me the greatest pleasure oimy liie to state to
the citiz ns of Smith county that I am entire-
lv cured, with no traces of the disease left,
and all effected by the magi; healing proper
ties of B. B. B., which I consider the grand
est. purest, aud most powerful blood remedy
known to man. I have been subject to in-
.fiammatory attacks since tenyeurs of age,
and up to'tiie present time hive had four.
The last spell came on me in Na-ember, 1885,
over e year ago, at which line I \as confined
to my bed for eight weeks, passing the nights
iu misery, with ho sleep except wff n produc
ed bv narcotics ami various opntes. The
week previous to using B. B. B. u\ to that
time I nad ouly eaten six meals a,,; could
scarcelv sit up without support; but .fter us
ing three bottles I was able to rel^h my
meals and to walk up town, and after s x bot
tles had been used, thank heaven, I wa? en
Round Mountain, TEx., March 29,1887.
A lady friend of mine has for several years
been troubled with bumps and ; rmples on her
face and neck, for which she used various
cosmetics in order to remove theffi and beau
tify and improve her complexion; but these
local applications were only temporary and
left her skin in a worse condition.
I recommended an internal application-
known as Botanic Blood Balm—which I have
been using and selling about two years; she
usee* three bottles and nearly all pimples
have disappeared, her skin is soft and smooth
and her general health much improved. She
expresses herself as well satisfied and can
recommend it to all who are thus affected.

Pai'ents Criminally Liable.

less than half this.' Acker’s English

I have had catarrh of the head for nearly
six years. I went to a noted doctor aud he
treated me for it, but could not cure me, he
said. I was over fifty years of age and I gave
up to die. I had a distressing cough ; my
eyes were swollen and I am confident I could
not have lived without a change. I sent and
got a bottle of your medicine, used it, and
felt better. Then I got four more, and thank
God! it cured me. Use this any way you
may wish for the good of sufferers.

Company, Atlanta. Ga.—Gentlemen : I had
suffered from that terrible disease, dyspepsia
for over fifteen years, and during that
time tried everything I could hear of, and
spent over three hundred dollars in doctor’s
bills, without receiving the slightest benefit
Indeed. I continued to grow worse. Finally’
after I despaired of obtaining relief, a friend
recommended B. B. B., (Botanic Blood Balm
and I began using it; not. biowever, expecting
to be benefited. After using half a bottle I
was satisfied I was being benefited, and when
the sixth bottle was used I felt like a new
man. I would not take $1,000 for the good it
has done me; in fact, the relief that 1 derived
from it is priceless. I firmly believe I would
have died had I not taken it.
