J. Murray. Important to Lumberman. The attempt of the Government lo in duce the adoption of conservative meth ods of lumbeiiiig in older to preserve Ibe national resources, and Ihe respon sive interest taken by limber owners, have brought up many interesting legal questions, and the Divison of Forestry lias found it necesfary to make exten ivo researches in ibis direction As the result, a circular dealing -with the laws which afTccl forests is lu course of preparation and will bo tcnl freo to persons interested. Ouc of the most im portant points brought out is the recog nition by law of the prospective value of growing limber, Tho possibility of pioliiably carrying on lumbering with systematic provision for future cutliug depends upon ibis point. ll has usually been held that when, by trespass or by unscrupulous cutting by contractors, tinilier has been removed contrary to the owner's wibh, he could recover only its Blumpage value. As forestry usually requires that a certain number of trees of certain size be left, it follows that au unscrupulous con tractor could easily upset the plans of years with little fear of punishment. The Supreme Court, however, has re cently ruled that difference in value be tween logged andunlogged land depends not only on the value of tho timber re moved, but on its probable increase had it been left untouched.

' THE VARIOUS WAYS IN WHICH BILLS ARE CARRIEO. w tka Maa Wk Caea Bebber Baad Arecad file Wad File t r HI. BWU-Cwia Craake. Whe Llk im die BtMey Weallk la Ki- ry Pekt. A great many men nave cranky Mesa about Dmtarlnc tbetr bills for ready handling. One plan la to fold each bill separately, keeping the denomimitlens npart In tbe various divisions of their pocketbooka. This method facilitates tbe search for tbe desired sum when making a purchase. This Is almost a sure guard against passing out a bill of tbe wrong denomination. Then there are men wbo make a neat roll of all their bills. Tbe ttrst Is rolled by itself to about tbe size of a lead pencil, tbe next Is lapped about it, and so on to tbe end. Then a rub ber band Is placed about the eutire lot. When It Is desired to use one of ! the bills, the rubber Is removed and tbe end of the first bill caught be tween the thamb and forefinger of the right hand while the roll Is held be tyern tbe thumb and forefinger of the hft Itaud. Then the bill Is quickly un- njciiud, none of the others being dis turbed. A great ninny men never carry r pocketbook. One rensou for this Is that a well worn purse more easily slips from the pocket than n roll of bills. Then, ngnin, tbe bulk of n pock elbook Is niiuoylng. It lakes up too mi;cb room, especially where the pan taloons nre made suite;. When pocket books nre not carried, a favorite re ceptacle is Ibe wntch pocket When this Is used, the bills nre made up Into a little, bard bunch. Their presence Is always felt against the body. In a crowd there Is no dauger of loslug them, and when traveling with auy considerable sum this is a safe de pository. Some men have a fad of carrying a lot of new bills In un envelope that Is kept 111 ouc of tbe Inside pockets. Now nnd theu a innii Is found who keeps a few bills in every pocket. lie goes on tho theory that if be is robbed of one lot a sufficient amount will remain to last hlin until be reaches home. He starts out feeling that be is going to bo robbed aud makes provision to meet every possible emergency. lie usually makes three folds of bis bills and lucks them away in the corners of bis pockets with extreme cure. He does not feci aurprlsiMl if he tluds upon making an inventory after nrrivlng home that a part of ids funds has dis appeared, as be expected to be robbed. Any number of men are found who keep only n little working capital iu their trousers pockets, tbe bulk of their funds Ix'iug concealed lu broad. Hat wallets In the Inside pocket of their waistcoats. These bills nre always ( f largo denominations and folded once. When a man brlugs forth bis reserve funds, l will be found that all the bills have a smooth, bright appear ance. They have lieen with him so loug that they are as lint us a sheet from a letter press. Very few men lu this country carry I coins In pmses. In England purses are common. The material Is generally pigskin, but uudresscd kid Is also used extensively. Tbe former have two compartments, one for small gold coJus and the other for silver. It Is some-, times ntnnstnx to watch a man with n little undressed kid bag pay his fare on the street cars, especially If he Is wearing thick dogskin gloves. Only conductors with groat patience can watch tbe proceeding with complacen cy. A woman can pick out live pennies from beneath a roll of bills In con siderably less time than It takes the man with the kid purse to bring forth a nickel. One renson that the kid purse Is not popular Is Iwcnuse it feels like the half of a small dumbbell in the pocket when fairly well llllrd. lu London It Is the proper thing to carry a pigskin owlug to tbe large circulation of sovereigns. It Is essential to keep tbe gold nnd silver sepnate In order to avoid mistakes. There are coin cranks as well as pa per money cranks. Some years ago there lived a little, round faced man over In the Back Bay who came Into tbe business district cvety week clay morning at precisely ! o'clock. In paying his fare he nhvnyi passed i' n bright, new nickel that looked as If It bad come to him fresh from the mini. Where or how he irot them was a mys tery to the conductor, but be dually de cided that his customer was connect ed with some hanking Institution aud that the new money wns used to es cape the chances of contracting disease through the handling of money that had been In common use. There are any numlier of ioople wbo cannot let gu n new oolu without ex periencing a paug. They will hold ou to a new half dollar until the In hi ex tremity. Then there nrv those who vlalt tho subtrvasury every few dnys and get a pocketful of new 10 cent pieces.

Iteporlern' Blunders. With the charitable puipose of pre senting a psychological explanation for the inaccuracy which nil too often marks the work of perfectly honest reporters The Christian I.egister says: "When one is listening to a discourse, two tilings oc cupy his mind at the same time the on", the discourse to which lie is listening; the other, the train of thought suggested to him by the discourse. The second runs along in his mind parallel with tiie firsl aud fic(uently is remembered and re ported iu place of the discourse, which is forgotten." Thcie is something, perhaps a ;rooi! deal, iu this theory, hut however well it may serve as an explanation its utility as an excuse is of the smallest. The sim plest way out of the difficulty is to lay the blame en Dnme Nature, whose hos tility to exact duplications of any kind is illustrated in every inch of her broad do main. No two men ever heard or saw a thing alike, and probably no two ever will. Reporters are no more fallible than other people: indeed, their accuracy is far above the average. They, however, have a thousand critics where other folks hove one, and not one of the thousand ever p.isses over their errors of appre heusiou or expression In kindly silence. New York Times.
