Wood for Paper
Growing Dearer
To-day there is a general
cjmplaint among publishers
that printing paper is con-
stantly growing dearer. In
the Middle West many local
papers are raising their sub-
scription price 50 per cent in
order to pay for the paper-

berg first used movable type,

and is
hemlock
eottonwood are used in much
smaller amounts.
New York alone consumes
each year over a million and
a quarter cords of wood in the
manufacture of pulp, or more
than twice as much as Maine,
which ranks next. Wiscon-
sin, New Hampshire, Penn-
sylvania, and Michigan fol-
low in the order given. Six-
ty per sent of the wood used
in New York was imported
ease of a publisher of a
in the Middle West, who re-
cently paid 51,200 tor a car-
j load of paper. The same
quantity and grade cf paper
; cost a ^ear ago but $80^

process. In 1S90, 65 per s
cent of the wood was reduced

in very large degree depended
upon the forest.
In the fact of a threatened
shortage of timber, the total
amount of wood consumed
each year for pulp has in-
creased since 1899 from 2
million to million cords.
The year 1906 marked an in-
crease of 63,000 cords in the
imports of pulpwood, the
highest average value per
cord for all kinds, and a con-
sumption greater by 469,053
coids than that of any previ-
ous year.
Sprue?, the wood from
which in 1899 three-fourths
of the pulp was manufactured
is still the leading wood, but
it now produces a little less
than 70 per cent of the total.
How well spruce is suited to
the manufacture of pulp is
shown by the fact that during
a period which the total quan-
tity of wood used has doub
led and many new woods
have been introduced, the pro-
portion of spruce pulpwood
has remained nearly constant
in spite of the drains upon
the spruce forests for other
purposes. During this time
three different woods, from
widely separated regious, have
i 1 turn held the rank of lead-
er in the lumber supply.
Since 1908 poplar, which
for years wrs used in conuec-
t 011 with spruce to the exclu-
sion of all other paper woods,
has increased in total quan-
tity less than 100,coo cords,
tion for the State shows
small decrease since
wh.-, e\s the other States
named have all increased
their consnniptiou. Other
States important in the pro-
duction of pulp arc: Mass-
chusetts, Minnesota, Ohio,
Oregon Vermont, Virginia,
and West Virginia.
The average cost of pulp
by the mechanical process; in |
1S06, less than 50 per cent.

I selves to our individual cases
must adjust themselves to the
laws.
To be sure Fod is mcrciful,
, but His mercy was shown in
always , J , ,
the creation of His iaws that
have been given to all genera-
tions, aud to this day have
needed 110 revising or amend-
ments. No greater evidence
of the greatness of God could
be asked than is found in the
perfection of His faws that
have answered the needs of
all people of all times. We
need not to pray so much to
God for His blessings; but we
may have more strength to
keep His laws, and render
i Him some service that will
iu a measure show onr appre-
ciation of His always present
blessings. The laws are
never at fault. The faults
1 are within us.—Pslestine
Herald.
Character is that indefina-
ble something that deter-
mines our,personality. It is
o.ir inner self, and it is the
111 1*1
result of our desiring, think-
ing, willing aud acting. It is
a composite organism, made
up of the life we live. It is
bad, indifferent 1 r yood, ac-
cording to our manner of life.
Character fixes our dest:ny
Ut time and eternity.—i;x.
