60,000,000 acres is nearly equally divid-

The climate of the Hokkaido country,
the preseat principal forest area, like
that of California and British Columbia,
is favorable to forest growth. In older
Japan reforestation finds scope mainly
on the rugged slopes' of the mountain
ranges. Japan has been using timber
since a time long antedating the cedars
of Lebanon. Many grand old monarchs
of the forest are maintained with caro in
public parks and line great avenues,
Unfortunately, the Japanese are
wasteful of young forest growth. The
framework of buildings is largely of
rough hewn polos, and far too much
young timber goes for charcoal, which
!s so generally used in Japan.

How Charles Son Got His Name,
Chadco Eon, proprietor of the Lyceum

Italy several years ago. When he dnlrl0
to New York to make his home in Am-
erica he went to work at his trade as
stonecutter, Employed with 111m1 were
many other Italians, many of thorn with
names difficult to pronounce and even
more difficult to remember. For that
reason the employers matlo a practice of
having the Italians all numbered, and
they were paid off each week by num-
ber instead of by name. After that Son,
or De Capita, worked at other places
and he wag again merely a number, It
was grilling to him to be shorn of all
individuality and go by a number the
same as a convict. Ile decided that ho
would change his name,
Ono day he was walking along Broad-
way, and noticed a great number of
firms (laving such names ea .Taylor,$
See, Gray d Son and others in which

be one of the prominent families in New
York, and as tho name was simple and
easy to remember ho decided to adopt
it. From that day he has been known
as Charles Son.—Cleveland Plain Dealer.

CHOCOLATE I8 DEAR.

Cocoa, which has been advancing in
price sine April, nye the New York
World, was marked up two to three
cents a pound in the last week by 000'
(0131 manufacturers, and Is to be further
advanced, it is predicted. Prices of cocoa,
chocolate, and chocolate confections aro
now said to bo higher them for 2d years,
Tho reason given by the nlanufa.cturelw
is that the boar costs them more than
ever before and double what it did a
year ago.
Thus far the retail prices have not
been general( put up, but dealers say
that users of cocoa and chocolate will
soots have to pay considerably more. It
is estimated about $0,000,000 more than
last year. The public will feel this, it
is said, In the coming holiday season,
when the demand for bon bons is great-
est.
Some authorltlee say that the dear
cocoa has been brought about by e. com-
bination of New York and European
dealers cornering the market. A largo

"Take myself. Had I died at fifty half
my life's work would have been loft un-
done. People Ball me old, but I deny !t.
I sometimes say I am seventy-nine years
young,' At any rata, 1 don't feel old, and
I expect to live a great many years yet,
"After any motor tour I om going to
tour Canada and the United States, and
then I; am going to but beak to attend
a convention in Berlin, What le the see•
rat of my vitality, I will tell' you later
on. First, let me say I dislike the con-
ventional uotiolt of associating old asgs
with helplessness. When a num gets to
be sixty or .seventy ho thinks he must
quit work said sit in a ohimnoy-corner
or go out in tie, garden to play with the
children. He thiuko he is old just because
his family regard bit as such.
'tI deplore this idea. I believe every
old person who is not pbyaically dis-
abled should be profitably employed.
For my part, 11 I live to be 150 I shall
keep on, working to my dying day.
