Still Hope If Scientific Principles Are Employed. Review of Reviews. At very small expense a few years ago the national and state govern ments could have held or aoquirel enough of the remaining timber belts of the country, not only to protect river cources and mitigate floods, but also to protect the public in its lum- ber i and prevent the formation of a monopoly control of so needful an article in general use. The Roose velt administration has exerted itself strenuously to create forest reserves and stop the further encroachment of the lumber trust upon the national domain, It has constantly demanded a reform of the land laws, in order to better protect the public interest. Its chief enemy in all this attempt to save the domain of the people from the land thieves and timber thieves has been congress itself. It is to be hoped that the investigation now in: vohon by the senate will be thorough, and that it will shield no public men who have aided and abetted the pro- cess of turning the forest lands of the country. over to the lumber kings. Whetover may be the objection to the public ownership and operation of practical business enterprises like rgil- roads, there cnn he ho sound argu- ment against the retention by the public of the great forest arens of the upland and mountain regions of the country. The government itself now possesses far more knowlidge of prac- tical forestry than do the lumber peo- ple, and by a judicious svstom of lensing it could supply the lumbermen with merchantable timber without de- stroying the forests. Great' mischief hag been dome, but the situption is not altogether hone less, and the proposed investigation will doubtless be of great value. Even where great 'areas have been devasta- ted by the lumber trust and the wood pulp trust, the nation or the respec. tive states can acquire them and make new foresfs out of them on scientific principles.

Vienna has just furnished a eouple of striking cxamples 'of the crimes passionels linked with" the subsequent sympathetic action of juries which have long been a special characteris tic of Parisian life, One of these remarkable stories was unfolded at a woman's trial in Vienna for murder. The woman, who kept a prospering suburban inn, had mar- ried an artisan several years younger than herself. That his motive was entirely mercenary the sequel proved. He began to treat his wife with cyni- and openly paid atten- tions to other women. Asx her busi ness prospered, and brought increas his neglect and' profi cal cruelty ing means, so gacy grew, At length. driven to desperation, the wronged wife shot him dead.

The judge thereupon pronounced the woman's acquittal. Another instanfe may be cited. A boy of fourteen, whose father ne glected the family for the company of a woman of loose charpeter threw vitriol in the woman's face, didiguring her permanently. The plea that the boy was defending the honcr af his family so touched the jury that thev exonerated him, and he also was ae quitted. : r Ome of the comfortable things about marrying a widow is all the things vou don't have to teach her by break. ing the news.
