Just like a dream all misty Sleep through a mist of veils! Italy’s Cure for Her Forests. Italy, which has suffered extremely in the paBt from the ruin which follows the removal of protective forests, is now among the leading nations work ing for the conservation of forest re sources. Extensive operations in re forestation have been going on for for ty years, and the Italian Secretary of Agriculture has just published his re port on the progress made in that time. This report indicates that the Italian Government is keenly aware of the value of forests to the country and that it is determined to bring its deforested lands into a forested state as soon as possible. To attain this end, planting operations have been conducted on Gov ernment land to such an extent that during the last thirty years 122,000 acres have been planted in twenty-five of the provinces of Italy. Of this area, 69,000 acres, or approximately 108 sriuare miles, were planted in the year 1907 alone, causing an outlay of nearly $2,000,000 and giving employ ment to a large number of men. Reforestation ha3 been carried on so vigorously that there now remains only about 36,000 acres of Government land in need of planting. In addition to conducting planting operations on a large scale, the Italian Government has during the last forty years distributed over 130,000,000 young trees and 337,- 600 pounds of seed, an amount suffi cient to restock approximately 100,000 acres of land, to the people in an effort to encourage planting and sowing by private persons. As the forest area of Italy amounts to only slightly more than 10,000,000 acres, this planting by the Government and private persons amounts to approximately one-fortieth of the total forest area of Italy. Furth er steps must be taken by the Govern-1 ment, however, before its forest policy will prove the success of some of its European neighbors. Forest fires still continue to be the, cause of heavy damage. During the year 1907 1,294 fires were reported, with .an estimated loss of $194,400. While this amount is insignificant when com pared with the yearly loss from fires in the United States, it is large rela tively speaking, and would be viewed almost as a calamity in the better managed German forests. Of these (ires, 91 were due to criminal design, 267 to culpable negligence, 123 to acci dent, and the rest to unknown causes. Fire, however, is not the only enemy of the Italian woods. The Hmall land- owner often fell recklessly and some times with good excuse because of the heavy taxation of timber lands. Large tracts which used to he covered by a thick growth of chestnut have, even during recent years, been stripped of every tree. Like all other countries where fores try 1s successfully practiced, Italy must not only resort to planting the cut-over acres, but must also perfect a system of fire protection and enact laws to relieve timber lands from excessive taxation. _ Many school children suffer from con stipation, which is often the cause of seeming stupidity at lessons.

Fifty years ago, when Jenny Lind was singing in New York, the Ameri can frigate Saint Lawrence, return-1 ing from a cruise abroad, came into the harbor. The young midshipmen, on the first night of their shore leave, went to hear the famous singer. The next day the boys, to express the emotions that her wonderful voice bad stirred in them, called on her in a body. They hardly expected that she would receive them, but she did ; and she was so charmed by their youthful ness and ingenuousness that when they timorously asked her if she would like to see their ship, she accepted the in vitation. Then, growing bolder, they asked her to luncheon, and she accepted that invitation, too. When, on the appointed day, she came on board with her companion, the captain saw her from his cabin and recognized her. There is nothing more strict than the courtesy observed in ship etiquette among officers of all ranks. Of the three messes—the captain’s table, the ward-room and the steerage mess, where the midshipmen ate—no officer, from captain down, would make him self one of a company at another mess unless especially bidden. In this case the captain rang the bell for the orderly. “Tell the gentlemen of the steerage mess,” he said, “that the captain is going ashore, and that his cabin is at their disposal ff they care to use it.” The luncheon, however, was eaten in the steerage. But after the pleasant meal was over the boys proudly invited their guest into the captain’s cabin, where they took their coffee. “Ask her to sing something,’’ whis pered the paymaster’s clerk. “I’ll thrash you if you dare!” re turned one of the midshipmen, under his breath. The ward-room officers had guests too. They brought up guitars and sat on the poop-deck above, singing “The Suwanee River” and other popular songs. “How pretty!” cried Jenny Lind, with enthusiasm, clapping. .When at last she was leaving, she paused on the step between the curved sides of the gangway. Looking up at the floating Stars and Stripes she said: "I wish to salute your flag.” Uncovering her head and holding her hat in her hand, she began to sing “The Star-Spangled Banner." As she sang the first verse every officer and every man came silently on deck. When she had sung the song to the end, deaf ening cheers rang out from the Saint Lawrence, and were taken up by every ship near by, for al! had been listening. Steamers blew their whistles, and ev ery man within reach ot' that thrilling voice knew that he had heard one of the most inspiring songs in the world sung as he would probably never hear it sung again. Why They Grinned. LippincottV Magazine. Mrs. Grant was undoubtedly the dis ciplinarian in the family, and Mr. Grant, who was a very busy lawyer, was regarded by the two children as one of themselves, subject to the laws of “Mother.” But one day Mrs. Grant became very ill. and at luncheon Mr. Grant, who felt that the children were already showing sign3 of “running wild.” felt obliged to reprimand them. “Gladys,” he said, “stop that imme diately, or 1 shall have to take you from the table and spank you.” In stead of making the impression he had fondly hoped to do, he saw the two lit- I tie imps glance in a surprised manner at each other and then simultaneously I a grin broke over the faces of both cul- j prits, and Gladys said in a voice of de- i risive glee: I “Oh, George, hear father trying to talk like mother!” Gov. Glascock of West Virginia, while traveling through Arizona, noticed the dry, dusty appearance of the country. “Doesn’t it ever rain around here? he asked one of the natives. “Rain?” The native spat. “Rain?

VV'oman'M National Daily. Next time you run across the fellow who “knows it all,” go right after him with the question as to what he knows about the coins of the country, and the chances are he will rise to the bait like a hungry fish to a fly. You might make a careless sort of remark to the effect that it is strange that none of the coin bears an Indian’s head, in view of the fact that the Indian is the only real simon pure American. He will probably sneer at you, and ask you what’s the matter with the little cop per cent? Of course there’s nothing the matter with the cent, and you can tell him so. Now, just take one out of your pocket and look at it. That’s what Mr. Smarty will probably do. Before he gets a chance to stick the coin un der your nose, you may assert that it doesn’t bear the face of an American Indian, and then he will sure enough call you several kinds of an idiot. Let him go right on talking until he gets himself all tangled up in the strings of his own verbosity, and you just stick to your assertion that no American coin contains the face of an American Indian. You may even get a small wager out of him. When you have him “all het up” over the subject, and a lot of other fellows gather round, you may tell him that the face on the coin is not that of an Indian brave, but of a little white girl. Now look closely at the face, and you will begin to see the childish features. More than that, it is a portrait, and is said to be the only portrait on an American coin. The lit tle girl whose face adorns the coin was Sarah Longacre Keen, and she was for thirty-five years secretary of the Phil adelphia branch of the Methodist Woman’s Foreign Missionary Society. She died only a few years ago. Her father was an engraver, and when he made the design for the coin he used his daughter for n model, simply put ting on her head an Indian warrior’s head-dress that happened to be in the room. Plebian Corn bread--Aristocratic Braia* Mobilo Register. ‘ A young girl was heard to 3ay re cently: “Oh. no. I never eat corn- bread—it’s so plebian !” So plebian ! It is wholesome—that cannot be gainsaid, and most whole some things have come to be consider ed plebian, it would seem, if one paid attention to the oracles in the woman’s section of the Sunday papers, with their descriptions of my lady’s boudoir, and my lady’s modes and manners. But, fortunately, few ladies have boudoirs and all of us aren’t entirely devoid of the gray matter that is able to discriminate between wholesome and plebian. If the young woman had used her brains she might have seen her mis take—or if she reads her bible she might have remembered that “it is not what enters into the mouth, but what comes out of it, that defileth.” If she used her brains — But perhaps it is something like the case of the old negro woman’s dog. Her daughter’s suitor failed to call with his accustomed regularity, and she asked him why his visits had ceased. “Well, l tell yo', Miss Smif. I stop a-comin’ caze I'se skeered o' yo’ dawg.” “G’wan, nigger,” said the old wo man. “Yo’ knows yo’ ain’t skeered o’ dat dawg. In de fus’ place dat dawg don’t bite, an’ in de secon’ place I al’urs keeps dat dawg tied up. an’ de third place, I ain’t got no dawg.” It may be that in the first place the young lady’s brain won’t work, and in the second place it may be that it is displayed only at pink teas and bridge parties, and in the third place But it would be impolite, perhaps, to carry the analogy further. An Iowa man, who had for a long time been “paying attention” to a young woman in his town, finally took his courage in both hands and pro posed. For some moments there was an omi nous silence. Then the young woman sighed. “I have been dreading this for some time.” she said, dejectedly. “I’m sor ry to say that I cannot marry you.” “Don’t you care for me?” ventured the suitor. “I do,” answered the fair one, “but —but—the fact is, I am a somnambu list!” “Is that the only obstacle?” came from the lover, in a relieved tone. “If it is, I don’t care in the least. I’m Campbellite. You’re a somnambulist It is easily arranged. You go to my church one Sunday, and I'll go to yours the next.” A Religious Author s Statement. Rev. Joseph H. Fesperman, Salisbury, N. C., who is the author of several books, writes: “For several years I was afflicted with kidney trouble and last winter I was suddenly stricken with a severe pain in my kidneys and was confined to bed eight days, unable to get up without assistance.
