A GREAT WORK.
The A. A M. coljege at Raleigh in
doing a great work, and bids fair to
, be of stUl greater service Id the future,
On Wednesday last Governor Aycock
reeenteci diploma to thirty-six gradu
ate of that institution: one in agrl
agulture, twenty-eight in engineering,
and eeven in science.
The rise of the institution in promi
nence and popularity means much for
the future of North Carolina. The
primary object of the school is to
teach young men how to do something,
and that is just what young men need
to be taught.
Most of the development now going
on in North Carolina is carried on
by means of home capital. Our peo
ple are inventing their Having in pro
.uuctlre enterprise, and the conse
quence is the State i forging ahead
- But we must haVe our "'captains
.industry, ' and if they can be made
'here at home at small expense, why all
1 'the better. Certainly the State is doing
a commendable work in providing a
' -school for uch practical, work-a-day
training.

The lumber industry ranks forth
among the great industries of the
United States. It has done much to
develop u as a nation, and our forests
contain much treasure still. However,
.careful attention must be paid to the
preservation, and 1 economical con
sumption, of this part of our natural
"wealth. The Jumbermenhavegoneforth
and taken possession of the lumber
at was available-withcrat much re
gard for the future. The consequence
la supplies of certain valuable timber
are dwindling. Some kinds of timber
bare practically vanished from the
market, and others, have entirely gone.
' The bureau of forestry says: Ten
years ago the use of balsam in in
manufacture of paper pulp was practi
cally unknown. The eastern hemlock
la now valuable for its timber a well
a for it bark. A more modern In
stance Is the gradual rise in impor
tance of the western hemlock, until
'very recently altogether discredited as
a timber tree, although In fact of great
' -commercial importance. The red fir
of the northwest and .; the southern
plnea are rapidly invading markets
formerly controlled altogether by the
white pine of the north central states,
' .while specie of peculiar value, such
at black walnut and black cherry,
nave . practically vanished from the
market in the grades which once were
common. The southern pines are bt
dng'deetroyed with a rapidity which
finds its parallel only In the case of
northern white pine. It is true that
the list of commercial timbers length
en from year to year. Just as the
balsam Is taking the place of the
spruce, so are ' substitutes coming in
for other wood which no longer exist
in sufficient quantity to supply the de
mand. But neither can this prove a
sufficient remedy. The supply of the
substitute will be exhausted in it
turn and the final situation will be
orse than that which confront us
how. It 1 no longer a question' of
.methods, of manufacture, or of sub
stitutes for exhausted supplies. The
time for us to look after the trees them

SERVICEABILITY OF
THE AMERICAN CAVALRY '
Ceneral BADEN-P0WCU. British Army . :
HE BEST POINT ABOUT TRTE AMERICAN
CAVALRY IS ITS SERVICEABILITY. Every
effort seems to be directed along thia line. There is
an absence of the swagger and gold braid so much in
evidence elsewhere. We are doing all we can to elimi
nate tbe swagger and replace it with something more substautial.
Your rtgwlara incline toward simplicity. I. CANNOT SAY THE,
SAME FOR TIIE MILITIA IF SOME OF TILE OFFICERS
HAVE SEEN ARE SAMPLES OF THE REST. Their uni
forms are the most gorgeous it has ever been my pleasure to seet,
I THINK YOU ARE WISE IN TRAINING YOUR CAV
ALRYMEN TO BE ATHLETES: The "monkey , drill as jtoy,
call it,. makes man and lioree -acquainted with each other. OtheVs
may not agree with me. A French military expert who watche'dthV
American cavalry drill turned to me and said ."That, is magnificent
but it is not war." I do not agree with him.- It was magnificent, af.d
it was war or the preparation for it But some other Frenchman

The following clever' way of keeping
crows o way from a cornfield Is used by
the Dutch farmers and is practiced to
certain extent in tbe eastern districts
of this country; -
The farmer makes some small caps
of stout paper and smears around the
Inner side of the mouth of such some
bird lime or other sticky stuff.tr In these
he puts some grains of corn and stands
them about his fields by pressing their
points Into soft earth. '
When the crow finds one of these pa
per caps, he tufnks himself very fortu
nate until he attempts to peck at tbe
tempting grain, when, to bis astonish,
ment. he finds the cap attached to his
bead, a regular fool's cap. which will
not even allow him to. see what coarse
to take if he flies up. . ., . . .
