Of the territory explored, sixty per cent. will yield on an average five cords of spruce wood to the acre, in addition to other timber. The prevail - fug timber is spruce and poplar, there being po pine or hard wood. The spruce, especially along the river "banks, attains a size which renders et valuable for square timber, and the poplar is large and abundant', par- ticularly on the Mattagami River. 'Special acres would cut fifteen cords .of, spruce, other acres would cut fif- teen cords of spruce and ten of poplar. /Some of these, if all the timber grow- ing on them were made into cord wood, would show 60 to 70 coads to the acre." In the Northern Quebec, It is safe to say that conditions are largely similar to those prevailing in -the analagous parts of Outer°, with the comparison in favor or Quebec, as regard to area. Indeed, of all the • provinces, Quebec must take rank as the premier in regard not only to pulp 'wood productieea but also to pulp 'wood still standing unutilized. British •Columbia, it is recognized, has mil- lions of acres from 'which large qaum titles of wood can be cut, but it is -also recognized that the number of cords is almost incalculable. The newly organized Forestry Department fin that province is busy making plans ter comprehensive survey and chart 'work, and from the great energy with 'vehicle they are starting out on their hiportant work, great things may be 'expected. The tremendous difficul- ties in the way of having qualified anen collecting reliable data in a ,country possessing such great natural obstacles as "a sea of mountains" and 'traversed by raging torrents • are ;scarcely real;zed at their true value by the ordinary public. And the same 'thing applies to survey 'work in the %northern wilderness of Quebec and • .enitario. Nova. Scotia is not generally ••credited with being elm of the great 'blether arid pulp wood provinces, yet they form no mean asset. ' Dr. For- • mew, who not long ago made a forest survey or that region, gives as' his estimate an area or 6,500,000' acres :under timber, with 24,000,000 cords as ithe probable output, divided up as fol- flows. Mainland, 5,000,000 acres with 500,000 acres with 14,000,000 cord. Nev Brunswick contains large areas _reach in pulp 'wood trees, but so far as we have seen, no one has been , daring enough to estimate the prob- able quantity of cords, section by sec- tion.

CHATS WITH, OFFICIALS All Efforts of Lawyers; Magistrate and Guards To Dissuade Him From Suicide Prove Useless and La- combe Dives From Roof and Is Killed In Prison Courtyard— His Last Wards of Mother. PARIS, April 7.—Lacombe, the anarchiet bandit, committed suicide Saturday in the Prison de La Sante under most dramatic circumstances, with an appeal for his mother on his lips. Lacombe had been arrested in Paris on May 11, after the police through- out France had sought him for several months. When taken into custody he was carrying in hie pockets a small dynamite bomb, two dynamite cart- ridges. two automatic pistols and a supply of ammunition. Saturday morning while Lacombe was talking with his lawyer in an en- closed courtyard inside the prison, his guards stood a few yards off. Sud- denly Lacombe, who was an all round athlete and a professional performer of feats of strength sprang forward and grasped the lower rungs of an iron ladder indite -,' to the tipper part of this building. He had clambered past tier after tier or cells and had mounted swiftly to the roof before the guards recovered from their as- tonisbment. A dozen wardens passed thrmigh the prison and on to the roof by trap doors, gradually surrounding him 011 three sales. Ho threatened to throw himself clown and the guards hesitat- ed to approach. A convereation then took place be- tween Lacombe, the examining, magis- trate, M. Drionx, the prosecuting at- torney, Mr. Lescouive, and M. Bou - °heron, his lawyer, who had been telephoned foe. They all artued with the man to prevent him committing suicide, but 1011110111 avail. Many fil•emen and policemen mean- while had gathered on the roof of the PrisomprePaaing to capture Lacombe, who still stood on the edge of the roof. Two hours had passed eince he clambered un, and during his talk with his lawyer other prisonere in adjacent, cells overhearing scraps of the conversation shouted to him and cried "Hurrah for anarchy," . M. Boucheron renewed his argu- ments to Lacombe to be reasonable, but the anarchist glancing at. a clock in a church steeple near the prison which pointed to 11.28, seid "At half -pat eleven all Will be tin, jelled,'" and at that moment rieing lns hand to his forehead in salute, shouted: "It is the moment, Tell my mother that nv last thought was of her. Farewell.'. He then jumped like e diver to the stonecourtyard far below, where ne was dashed to, death. , Suffered With' • A Lame :"zack COULD NOT STRAIGHTEN UP.

Grace, Hamilton, Ont., writes: —"I was euffering with a lame back, and for two weeks was not able to straighten up to *alk, and hardly able to sit down for the pains in my back, hips, and legs. I had used different kinds of pills, plas- ters, liniments and medicines, without any relief. One day I read about Doan's Kidney Pills and decided to try them.

One writer has turned out some in- structive comparative figures With re- gard to the liability or men and ivo- men to disease and death. He says from 3 to 35 years of age the death rate between the sexes remains about even, but afterwards the scale turns In favor of women. At 40 a woman has 'seventy-eight chances to one against dying, while man has only forty-nine chances to one. At 60 the odds are nearly twice as. large in favor of woman,' and - at 80 they are five times as great. Prof. Sargent oE Harvard says their figures are changing to resemble more the men: More height, deeper chests, .smaller 'hips.

One shot from her 38-55 rifle did the trick. Miss Plethate was tramping through 'the brush four miles from camp when she heard the crackle of ;the underbrush as the moose came -hounding through. The party had spread out to cover a wider area and there was 110 one within a considerable distance of her. Miss Plymate raised her ribe and took aim, hitting the , moose square in the neck.

NOVEL CHEESE KNIFE Movable Blades Mounted on Rod That Runs Through Middle An ingenious rnethod of cutting cheese has been designed by a New York woman. A rod has three broad, movable blades slidably mounted upon It. The cheese --the cutter is designed for use on round cheese, by the way— is placed on a dish and the rod thrust through the center. The three blades, REEPS CREESE FRESH. TOO. being light in weight, can rest on top of the cheese. When a slice or wedge of cheese is desired it can be cut quickly and aceurately by pressing down two of the blades with the 'requisite width between them. An- other advantage of this device, and the probable reason for the third blade, is the fact that it keeps the remainder of the cheese fresh by clos- ing the eats against the air. The blades are about the depth of the usual round cheese and two of them can be kept pressed against the outs where the inside is exposed. The Engagement Filna !

Her name de- scribes her. It is Rirette, which means Little Laugh. She ie always laughing, is Anne Maitrejean; laughing at the judge, at the crowds in the court room, at the prisoners, 111 101.0 and everything else. Breeding the Bandits She and her husband, Kilbalchiche, provided the centre round which the terrible bandits performed ' their death's dance. How they first met the leaders of the bandits is not clear, but it is plain that Gamier, Carrouay, Dieudonne, Monier and Raymond used to visit Rirette and her husband and discuss anarchy with them. They were,. in feet, taught anarchy by the n gfirng ,wotnaa; and' after thei Itkut mAptered,,the general principles, • witIch were ,,iter,S, agreeable to Om. Rirette PPin6n1 out that, theY might Put them in practice very easily. She taught them the' "individual taking back" notion, as the Anarehists call , it, of robbery, as the law 'calla it, and as they needed nioney, and. Were oil - posed to working, hard for it, and had ' no such ideas of ,right and wrong, as• , most people entertain there was ' nothing to check them but the eh- ' Sence of a good plan, It was Raymond ' who looked at the problem front a purely scientific point of View, and concluded that Use should be made of these inveraions of science, the auto. mobile and the automatic pistol. Be- fore the bandits became the autorno- bile bandits, however, they committed several burglaries to ' acquire the the necessary technical experience. According to the diary of Gamier, these jobs netted them from $20 to $80 each. Then at the right moment, after the brilliant idea of Raymond's had been discussed, Rirette introduced outsoemeautriec to them Bonnot, the incomparable chauffeur, .HaTingBnonITthtatungwasdl the the °cia8r' theex . Crimes of the Bandits They marked down a likely car and stole it. Then they hid it for a week, and in the meantime picked out their victim, who was a bank runner, with $1,100 in cash and securities amount- ing to 064,000 in, his satchel. Tney shot him down in the etreet and es- caped with the plunder. The aban- doned auto was lemma next day at Dieppe. There was 110 clue to the robbers, who separated, emne going 10 130151e10 to negotiate the securities and the rehlwrs returning to Paris. Their next robberies were committed ; upon stores dealing in flyaerms, and ' they era:tired a valuable haul of pistols, rifles and ammenition. Other crimes followed with stirring rapidity.
