Every now and then one hears of insolated cases, but there is reason to believe there are many others of which the public has no knowledge. We suspeci there are some afflicted with the disease who, with their friends, are ignorant of the fact that it is leprosy. A person with leprosy, especially in it* First stages, may live for .years without knowing the nature of i is affliction. It is only in its last stages that he is led to suspect what it in. Jiiven theD he and his relatives are disposed tc keep the fact from becoming known Unfortunately, no provision is maut for the lepious in Hie Uuited States. There is no territory set apart foi them to which they may be sent and remain segregated from the rest of tht world. Consequently, every family it which there a leprous member feelt forced to keep silent. Should a neighborhood learn of the existence of 8 leper in its midst, it would drive hinj out into the wilderness to perish o neglect. It may seem unchristian and cruel for people to turn against the poor leper, but it is an awlul deseai-e, conta gious, and it its final stages hideous to the sight. It is a living death?the Blow, ghastly decomposition of the human body extending through many vears before the end comes?and it it not to be wondered at that peoph want to drive it from their presence. The most pathetic case of which wt have ever read is that of Mrs. Ward' well, of Arizona. She is au old womau who, under the affictlon of this terri' ble disease, has gone violently mad She is closely quarantined in a lonelj spot near Tombstone, and to make hai isolation doubly secure she is chained to her bedpost. The only one witb her is her husband, Gen. Warriell, t man eighty-six years old and aftlictei with cancer, who. although unable t< minister to his wife's needs, insist! Mmoinimr tvifh hur until deatl U11 A CLUUI LIIU^ *ku ? _ parts them. The Arizona authorities wanted to deport Mrs. Wardell t( the leper colony of Molokai, one o; the Hawaiian Islands, but there if neither law nor precedent to warrani the removal of a leper from one state or territory into another; on the con' trarv, there Is a law which forbids it 80 this poor old woman must remaii where she is, chained to her bedpost xgggxjH and uncared for. until death release! her from her sufferings. 3g$|?|H This case, with many others, like i MnlsH of which we know nothing, only em !&h9||V phasizes the necessity of having somi place apart for the exclusive posses 3(1^0 sion of persons afflicted with leprosy 1 x ~ rviit (It 18 ttl6 Olljy way iu eaicguaiu uu ^ people against this dread disease ^ whicb has been introduced into thii ? country along with Asiatic inimi A grants, and at the same time be hu M mane to the lepers themselves.

John Knox Found John Calvin Playing RauiIc on the Sahhath. New York, June 30.?John Calvin's indulgence in bowling on Sunday was cited as the basis for a decision by the appellate division of the supreme court in Brooklyn today, in which it was ruled that the operation of moving picture shows on Sunday was not a violation of the law. Judge Gaynor, who wrote the decisiou, quoted as an instance of the Innocence of proper amusement on any day, the visit of John Knox to Calvin one Sunday at Genever, when he]discovered the founder of Puritanism playing bowls on the green back of his home. The matter come up in the case of Henry Hemleb, who was convicted in a low* r court of running a Sunday show. The verdiot was recieved. Rich Must Suffer, as Well as Poor, Everybody is in the same pot; the rich people have no more money t0 spend these day^than you have; they 1 cannot sell stocks, nor property, nor , diadems, any more you can dispose < of fancy work, furniture polish or toilet soaps and pomades. , Moreover, all business concerns are reducing their staff* to Himself and : One, exactly like the shop where you ; erstwhile belonged; the One to do the work, and Himself to represent the I firm, and neither getting a cent be- , yond bare living. Now, without atop- i ping to discuss conditions or the ways and wherefores, suppose that everybody begins to lauph and get just as much fun as possible out of the situation. j Even the lact of the women folks i making over old bonnets and bats for the coming spring jubilation has its , humorous side. Why, it has been i ages since it was necessary for rhother and the girls to economize like that 1 But of all the feather curling, and steaming of old velvet, and gasoline 1 for spots, and sponging and pressing of?. Mikknna aiith Irvine nn hpfnrn the iiuvuuoj " J o mirrors and tongues wagging; just sport pure and simple. And you do not kuow it, but mother and the girls are i just holding their sides trying not to laugh outright at you, for they know 1 that there is a patch where a patch i , oufjht not to be, and that your : inward pride is suffering a shock. And then just look at that boy's . head; sheared oft'by mother in order 1 i to save the btrber's charge; and the ( ? cake bowl must have slipped some. what for thelo(*s are uneven at the > nape, but the child is serenely unconscious: Then the growing girl like Peggaty. buisting oft buttons, and the i tucks long ago let out, there is nothing j to do all day long but laugh and grow fat, for everything is funny, eveu the 1 j collector when he comes along trying . to squeeze out cash where cash there is i i none, and nocapital in sight. i Even scantiness in rations is not ; quite an evil, for according to some beliefs hunger is only imagination and ] I a frolic might beinstituted in theshape 1 of putting it into practice. Indeed, i come to think seriously, there is lots *r ^ ? 1 t.__ r-ll 1 1 i OI IUU IlJISSeu U.v luihH wuu uuvc ucvci | kuowu privation.

There are so many funny ways of making round pegs fit f-quare corners when it comes to a good-natured family or bosom chums hard hit by cirr cumstances.

All are willing to concede the value of lb orests, but their ruthlesH destruction con tic ea with little apparent abatement. Self nterest seems to be the surest motive to ap eal to in a matter of large Import, such a his, and affeotintt all people everywhere 'here is no bumau law to prevent the land wner from clearing every acre of his woods houid tie wish 10 ao ho. it is possiDie ma be State may And some way to regulate tb' uttlng of tlaiber In tbe future. Some mlgh s-gard such aotlon a* an abridgment ot per [>Dal rights not tfi be thought of; and jet, ti ue common luterent, It mav become ueces ?ry. At present, the only retraining lnflu nee will be self-Interest. The present li ery real and tangible; the future seems fai way and uncertain. It Is for this reasoi it il art lor tbe present, and dlsregajd the fu ure; If It Is made plain that It Is best, for tbi resent and tbe time to come, to leave i art or tbe land In forest, then it Is safe to be eve that Home of tbe .woods will be pre srved. > Hitherto It has been the plan In tbe Soutl } clear forest land wben the old fields begat o fall. This has been continued until only i cant remainder of tbe original forest Is left nd that not the best. This Is true only o tie thick ly-populated sections. There are, 1 ) true, large areas that have not yet beet coupled 'for agricultural purposes, and It bese places the original forests remain large ? Intact, although cutfover by the lumber lan. Much of the forest that Is found In the old r settled sections today Is second growth, o ven third growth, This argues well for thi ecuperatlve powers of tbe Southern soil 'ho land nnnfi cleared and cultivated fn ears, has again been allowed to grow up )r ?ot>dn, and these pine wood* (tor tbey ari isually pine) are very useful, although no qual to to tbe original growth in point o The soil in these second growth forests ii ery productive, and it is tbe fate of many o he pine woods to be re?cleared and tbe lane ilanted again in cotton. Borne think tbi line woodB1 new grountf.makes better cottot ban tbe original soil. Whatever we may think of that, tt surel] toes not argue well /or tbe tbrlftlness o iouthern agriculture that this should occur t means tbat we have allowed much of th< and to practlcallywear out and then turnec lover to Nature to reclaim It is fortunati bat tboBoii bas in it such inherent Btrengtfc nd power of recovery. > In a general way, It is education and an en Igbtened sell-Interest thai must be dependei pon to save tbe forests from, destruction LlI recognize the fadt tbat timber Is essentia o tbe progress of tbe raoe, If even exlstenct tself is not Involved. There must be woo<! sr fuel, tor building purposes, and for all tb< snnlfold uses of a complex civilization. Partial dependence for fuel may be placed n tbe coal supply, but experts tell us tbai bis Bupply is not Inexhaustible, and like tb< DreBts themselves, under careless methodf f mining will be exhausted all too soon. Tbe forests should be preserved for tbeli alue as a source of fuel. Lumber for build ag, for vehicles) and ma6hlnery, for furnlire, for telegraph poles, railway cross-tlei nd the common uses of tbe farm will b< eeded. We bave not found anything to take is place lor these purposes, and probably ever will. As well think tbat some otbei rain than wheat will be discovered to make our. By adopting Intelligent methods o jrestry tbe Bupply may be preserved lndefl lteiy. Under careless, ruthless management . will rapidly disappear. We need not tblnta hat each succeeding generation will find e ray to provide for Itself regardless of bow >e have abused our resources. These re surces we should regard as a i-acred trust, tc e used rightly and then transmitted to tbe lture. There 1b no excuse (or waste, and II 'e regard ourselves as reasonable men and omen, we will see It tbat way. The value of the forest as a cover for the )U and for Its Influence on olimate Is to be snsidered. This influence is only lmperfeot > understood, but there Is no doubt tbat tbey o afl'ect climate to a very appreciable exjnt. Their Influence Is a tempering, amellrating one. Tbe soil In tbe wood lands Is tpore porous lan In cleared land, due to the presence ol lant roots and abundant vegetable matter, bis enables it to absorb more of tbe rainfall, nd In this way forests Influence very greatly fa flow of streams. Tbe soli in the forest has ?en compared to a sponge, In Its power to ssorb and retain moisture. If all the sur,ce of tbe land were bare, tbe water after a tin would run ofl quickly, causing sudden, estructlve floods. Much of tbe soil, too, ould be carried away. We readily perceive, ten, bow valuable?it might be said bow esintlal?the woods are as a means of control!ig tbe flow or tbe rain waters. Of all tbe ses of tbe woodlands, none Is more farlacblng In He eflects than this. Then is it ot evident that part of tbe area of every rm should be left with its forest covering? his knowledge, however, will not avail us, dlesa we act upon It. Ills not intended to iggest here what part should be so left, for te conditions are dlflerent on eaob place, be steep and rough places, and any otber nd tbat can be spared should be left so. ucb of the land Is worth more for tbe orop trees It will produce than for tbe possible itton crops that could be gathered from It. ot many (arms bave as much forest as tbey ncnrl cQftr anrm ;cu ui nui u vwu ? v? j owwi ADother nee of Ibe woodlands, whloh Is not ten thought of perhaps, but wblcb Is a very a! one. Is as a aouroe of fertility for tbe outvoted land In tbe form of leaven. Instead ' clearing the woods, It would be lar better, many cases, to leave them as a permanent idy or forest, from wbioh to colleot leaves to irlcb tbe poorer parts of the farm. This ay sound strange to Bome ears, and yet it Is ue. If tbe time and energy spent In clearg tbe land were directed towards saving a irt of tbe annual leaf crop, tbe forest wonld 111 be there for future use, and we would -obably realise as mucb In Increased orop as e would had they been oleared. It will be orth while to oonslder very thoughtfully ils use of tbe woodlands. It does not mean lat no trees are to be cut In tbe forest, but ily that we should commence putting Into -acllce the principles of modern forestry, blob are simple and based on natural laws. ie forest will oontlnue to be an. unfailing urce of fire*wood and tbe more valuable inds of timber, as welt as eupplylng an an[ial crop of leaves. It will not injure It In ly way to remove a part of tbe yearly leaf II, and tbe cultivated land wit) be enriched > that extent each year. This will be co>eratlng with nature, wbloh is our mother, steading of violating her laws. The trees nd their roots deep into tbe bosom of tbe irth in search of plant food, and deposit their irplus every autumn in tbe form of leaves. Is well to use commercial fertilizers, but It ould be economy to use this supply, wblcb ay be had simply for the labor of saving. Hey may be applied directly to tbe land, or -eferably, used as bedding In tbe Btables. ven tbe leaves of fruit trees are valuable, id in the older countries they are considered metal source of fertility for tbe farm, Treea nrt good subsollers, particularly tbe e, wbtob bus a long tap.root. Tbe common rm crops feed near the nurface.and unless an lequate return Is made to replace what 1c moved eacb year, tbe topioll Is likely to beime partially exhausted. In trees we have )e remedy for this: Tbey feed at much eater depths, and ihns have tbe power ot mewing the topsoil by bringing up mineral atter from tbe lower eartb strata. In this ay It Is seen wbat a useful purpose treeB rve as soil.renewers. Tbey alone of all tbe ant creation bring plant food from tbe low depths of the soil, and render It available , tbe surface. This truth Is evident In tbe owth of the pine woods, wblcb In 23 or SO Bars will restore worn land to productivebis. In 40 or 50 years the restowal would be iore complete, Thos. Tolbert.
