A visit to the factory and the ware- ouses was a most interesing, enter- aining and instructive one, especially he former place, where we witnessed he construction of a piono from the legining, throughout all its various ielicate and complicated parts, to the AMERICAN FOREST CONGRESS. A Remarkable Conference Between Industries Dependent on Forests. The American Forest Congress well and thoroughly accomplished its ini tial purpose—the bringing together in joint discussion of all tiie interests dependent upon the forests. The con gress was preeminently representa tive of the lumbering, and grazing in dustries, of the railroads and of irri gation. Practically every State in the Fnion ami the chief consumers of for est products were represented by del egates. The interpendence of all up on the forest, and the ability of the forest, when properly treated, to fur nish each in turn the product needed are now universally admitted. This entire change in sentiment is the strongest guarantee that one of the greatest of our sources of national wealth is to be saved from speedy destruction. The keynote of the con gress was struck by President Roose velt, when he called it a congress of forest users. The underlying and absorbing thought of the congress was the prop- < r use of the forest—how to use it so that each industry could get the most advantage from it and yet how the total use should reuslt in its per- petuation and constant improvement. Kvery interest joined with the for esters in regretting the forest ravage of the past and in earnest purpose for putting into effect better methods in the future. The deliberations took concrete form at the close of the session in the adoption of a sot of resolutions, the most important of which were the fol lowing: Urging on congress and all legislative bodies full protection and preservation of the forest, especially protection from fire; advising reduc tion of taxation on lauds held for for- : est production, so as to induce forest conservation; urging the repeal of the timber and stone act; advising the guarded sale of timber growing on public lands; favoring in case of lieu land selections in exchange for lands of equivalent value or of similar con- j dition of forest growth; advocating j the immediate consolidation of all gov ernment forest work, including the ad ministration of the National Forest Reserves, in the department of agri culture; favoring the passage of a FOR RENT—House next to Smith Cook’s residence.

The Badlwin establishment gives em- ployment to abuot seven hundred hands, and has a yearly capacity of twenty-five hundred pianos. So great is the demand for the instruments manufactured by this concern that von the number turned out every ear is not sufficient to fill it, and the firm is now six months behind with orders The Baldwin company lias won reat distinction and the highest com- inercial and financial standing among .bo many large piano and organ man- :Factories of the world, being incorpo- . uted under the laws of Ohio with a Tipital of $1,500,000, all paid in. Mr. f.ucien Wulsin is president, Mr. Geo. \V. Armstrong, vice-president, and Mr. A. P. Hagemeyer, secretary and treas urer. The principal offices are in Cin- clnnati, Ohio, though the house lias branch establishments in most of the pricipal cities of the United Slates. The instruments made by Messrs. D. ii. Baldwin & Company are concert grands, parlor grands and uprights; and in their manufacture the highest possible artistic success has been reached, due largely to the novel and original system of construction em ployed, known as the “Baldwin acous tic system.” The most notable feat ures are patent acoustic rim and 'iscs for the reinforcement of the tone. Scientific research carried on for a number of years n the Baldwin factory, has resulted in valuable dis coveries and inventions, which give the Baldwin piano an unique Individu ality, which has gained for it a leading position among the highest and best of the world’s artistic musical instru ments. The Baldwin people had three com plete exhibits at the Paris Exposition of 1900; and in addition to ihe Grand Prize, sixteen other awards of gold silver and bronze medals were be stowed upon their instruments. Prof. W. L. Johnson, of this city, will be pleased to furnish any informa tion desired in regard to the Baldwin pianos. Hoax—His hair is getting rather thin, isn’t it?

We must have forest reserves, and we shall be forced to extend the area of forest re serves later on, not merely hy presi dential proclamation, but by purchase. Lands are passing out of the govern ment’s hands every day whose return to its ownership is absolutely essential to the well-being of the regions where they lie. “Third, we must begin at once the creation of a national forest reserve in the United States. We are the only one of the great nations w'hose forest work is in so chaotic a condi tion.

Neglected Colds Lead to Consumption. How Consumption Develops. PE RU-IMA CURES COLDS AND COUGHS. !\How Pretty Miss Powell Was Re stored to Health by Pe-ru-na. Miss Lillian Powell, Aurora, Ind., writes: “Last spring / caught a severe cold from getting my feet wet and being out In the rain, and In a day / had a most miserable cold, but / neglected It, thinking It would soon leave me. But It hung to me for two weeks, when I felt something must be done, as my condition was serious. •'/ had heard so much about Peruna and In Its praise that I bought a bottle and began taking It regularly. / was gratified to find that In a week the cold and cough was broken up, and three weeks' treatment completely re- \ sri stored my usual good health. "—Lillian Powell. Nine cases of consumption out of ten occur in this way: A person catches cold. The cold is not properly cured, and another cold is caught. This cold is dilly-dallied with, either by no treatment whatever or some treat* ment that is ineffectual, and the cold continues, Then another cold is caught and a cough develops. Cough syrups are re sorted to, but they give only temporary relief. By and by the patient gets tired of taking medicines and cough syrups and gives up in despair. The cold continues to develop and the cough grows worse, Then the doctor is called in, only to discover that the patient is in the first stages of consumption. It was just in this way that Miss Powell, of Aurora, Ind., became sick. She caught a cold, ajid not considering it serious, neglected it, tliinking as many otliers do,tiiat it would “wear off J* However, it clung to her tenaciously, and in two weeks she found her health in a serious condition. Fortunately, Peruna had been brought ^o her notice, and she took a course of this remedy before it was too late. In a week the cough and cold were broken, and a three weeks’ treatment completely restored her to health. This is what Peruna is doin" all the while. Not a day, and probably not an hour passes in which some one does not have a similar experience with Peruna. Cure the Slight Colds and Avoid Consumption. The first step toward consumption Is a cold. The next step is a failure to cure it promptly. The third step is the de- velopment of catarrh, which gradually becomes chronic. The fourth step, the catarrh begins to spread from the head to the throat, then to the bronchial tubes, and finally into the lungs. It Is then consumption in the first stage. At any time during the progress of ca tarrh, from the first onset of the cold to its final settlement in the longs, Perana can be relied upon to stop the disease. If yon have taken a cold, buy Peruna without delay. One botUe in the be ginning will do more good than a half dozen bottles after the catarrh has fastened Itself on the Inngs.

A magistrate s clerk has been known to have his tie pin stolen while In court, and one in Birmingham a few years ago lost his coat in the same way, but a more remarkable example perhaps of a thief’s cleverness under the very eyes of the police was thkt of the burglar at Clerkenwell who dan- aged to conceal two diamond rhigs while the police were searching him t and passed one of them to his wifj5kj nff the cell while the police were k tongue, on. The rings were under bljfhis mouth and one of them passed from JLlaslug her to his wife’s when he was** goodby.—London Answer?*— A l.astlDK “Didn’t I tell you not to propose to me again?” “You said something of the kind, but of course it made no impression on me.” “Oh, It didn’t! Well, I’ll give you t lesson now that you won’t forget You’ll never propose to me again.” “What are you gviug to do?” They Are Carelenn About Menaur*- nienta, Tool* and Time. The chief faults of the Indian car penter are his neglect of accurate measurement, his carelessness with re gard to the efficiency of ins tools and his lack of perception of the value of time as a factor in the execution of work. He has also to Ik* taught to oc cupy his mind with the work in hatid and as much as possible to exclude Other subjects. For example, the making of a Jack plane Involves the choice of the wood, considerations as to size, the angle of the blade and its ci.wing edge, the wedge f.ud Its holding power, the han dle and finally the ©pension of plan ing. All these operations ‘ are capable of very simple explanation, and tbia exercise provokes an emulation among students while exercising their reason ing powers. No Indian workman buys a plane. He buys the blade and makes the rest, but he rarely makes it well. He buys a saw blade and makes the handle, and. generally speaking, he spends the smallest possible sum on his outfit In spite of the extra labor the economy Involves. He must therefore be taught to make ns many labor sav ing tools as possible and to make them well. He has to be taught the use and repair of a grindstone and how to mount it in wood without metal fit tings. The ha r d. tough woods so com mon in India make this an easy mat ter. The Indian has yet to be taught that grinding and whetting are two distinct operations, the first removing 9fi.fi per cent of the metal and the sec ond producing the cutting edge In a few strokes.
