Untold depths of snobbishness among ?free-born Americans seem to be revealed by a recent incident that is worthy a place in literature. A wealthy and cul- tured family of good ancestry, but who did not happen to figure as social leaders fn a certain city, received invitations for m wedding among people whom they knew very well, but whose social aspira- tions were rather more pronounced than ?;heir own. The gift selected for the bride was a beautiful and expensive clock. It was bought at one of the best shops, and the eards of the givers were left to be sent with the clock at a certain date. Time passed, the wedding came off, but no acknowledgment reached the people wlto tent the clock. The clerk remembered shipping it with the cards, but nothing further was known until a mutual friend of the two families was moved to make ,enquiries of the bride's mother. ;i'his lady seemed to he a little vague .ailbout it, but it eventually transpired that the ambitious young bride had re- moved the card of the donors and had substituted that of a conspicuous society reader with whore she happened to have the merest calling acquaintance.—Har- :par's Weekly.

This ie bad enough at any time,, but with the snore glare it is really flinger; ous. There is no protection to the eyes from the little caps, and not enough' from veils. A darkened shade should iso, an'anged for every carriage. If the ease riage has a hood a green gsnadine ueil, may be strung on a tape and tied aeroas the front of the hood like a curtain. This is well away from the baby's face,ly- ing it plenty of air, and at the same tune protection, says a writer in The New York Evening Telegram. If the cariage has atot a hood the sane thing may be done by taking a pieee of rattan and bending it into the carriage From eac side of the back of the stat. Its own spring will hold it in place with- out other fastening.—Philadelphia Re- cord. • .3: Saves time, because it makes ironing easier.

A farmer, for instance, sows the grain in the .spring of the year. It sprouts, goes through the different stages in the blade axed the head. and ripens, all in a few months, and in the late summer is harvested. The raising of a timber crop is a different matter entirely. The tree rarely, if ever, i3 fit to cut (for, saw- tinrber, at least) before it is forty or fifty years old. Even if the annual crops (i.e., the am- ount of grain harvested and the annual amount of wood put on the trees) are equal in value, yet the advantage re- mains with the grain erops. Let ussup- pose we have an acre of trees which must grow fifty years to reach their beet at which they can be marketed, and are worth $500, and that we have beside this an arra 61 land on which annual crops of grain are grown. Five hundred dollars, divided into fifty, gives us ten dollars as the value of the annual growth of the trees. Let ns suppose also that the net value of the grain grown on the other acre is also ten dollars, for purposes of comparison. Now compare the harvests. On the wood -lot the end is allowed to grow un- disturbed for the fifty years, and then when cut off, brings fire hundred dol- lars. Or the grain acre, on the other hand, a crop worth ten dollars is taken of at the end of the first year—forty- nine years before any crop whatever is taken off the 'wept lot. Suppose this ten dollars is put away in the batik for the next forty-nine years. .Again, at the end of the sec- ond year (i. e., two years from the time the tree seeds are sown) we got anoth e rten dollars from the grain acre. Sup- pose this, too, is put in the bank—this time for forty-eight armee of course. And suppose Iurther, that this is done with each ten dollars received for the grain during ll tie;years following until the',Wood Iola cut. • If those y.t ly deposits el, ten dollars re left union -died, we ehalL at the end f fifty years, have the following am-' unts, according to the rates of interest: With interest at 2 per cent. per annum .. .. .. .. .. ... .. $2,093 48 With interest at 4 per cent. per annum ... .. 1,526 66 With interest et 3 per cent, per annum . 1;127 95 With interest at 3 per cent. per annum .. .. . , .... .. 845 80 .A calculation such as the above gives very good reason why Iand, if fertile en- ough to produce agricultural erops, h s ould be devoted., to these crops rather tIan to forest. Trees will grow eatis- actorily on land that is altogether too poor for agricultural crops, and all that he advocates of te-foresting ask ie that the land which is too poor for agricultur- al crops hall be permanently devoted to orest. When that is done, there will e sufficient forest to provide employ- ment for a large number of foresters. • • The English Language. Of the common European languages English is the most widely spoken at the resent time, and seems to be increasing to popularity more rapidly than any of he others. In 1800 about 21,000,000 peo- lo spoke English, and in 1900 about 20,000,000. In the same interval of ime the number speaking Russian in reased from 31,000,000 to 80,000,000; Getman, from 30,000,000 to 80,000,000; French from 31,450,000 to 55,000,000; talian from 15,000,000 to 33,000,000; pettish from 26,000,000 to 45,000,000, tnd Portuguese from 7,480,000 to 13,- 00,000. ---Chicago Chronicle. 0 0 if t p p 1 t t' I S 0 Minard's Liniment Cures Dandruff. e .• Champion Jumper of the Ocean.
