The rapid exhaustion of the timber supplies of this country has induced a large number of land owners to plant trees for profit. just as they would any other crop. The disappearance of good oak riuce that wood became so fash- ionable for finishings, furniture and other purposes suggests the planting of acorus wherever the land is adapted to the purpose and is not wanted for a more immediate crop. Oak trees, where the land is not too valuaule, promise to yield a good return on the invest- ment.

THE WIND MILLS OF HOLLAND
Are known to all the world.
They are both picturesque and useful, but useful as they are, they could not compete with Chase & Sanborn's Coffee Mill. If they were obliged to depend on wind mills, many of their customers would be kept on short allowance, for they turn out between forty and fifty thousand pounds of coffee a day, a feat which is quite beyond wind mill power.
Stop and think what this enor- mous amount of coffee means, es- pecially if you remember how famous- ly high grade it is.
Every bean is selected and even the plantations on which it is raised are famous for the perfection of their products.
Your grocer will deliver Chase & Sanborn's Seal Brand Java and Mocha in one and two-pound tin cans -or any of the other high grade coffees in parchment lined im- ported bags - and you can be sure there is none better.

picking and shoveling away with might and main on the railway track that ran along the very edge of a tremendous precipice on the other side of the valley.
"Not much, I reckon," . answered Joe. with an air of superior information. "I've heard father say that if you were to go pasl where one of these Hindu fellowe was cook- ing his dinner and your shadow was to fall on the food he'd chuck it all away, even if
"First time I ever knew that a shadow could do anything on its own account," grinned Harry, "It's like the story of the man with the fast-trotting horse who drove into New York at such a pace that his shadow came up five minutes after to ask which way he'd gone."
The meal was nearly over and the boye were just beginning to think what they should do next, when the question War settled for them in a very nuexpected way. Joe Elton, after sniffing the air doubtful. ly three or four times, called out suddenly: "Say, boys, don't you smell something hurning?"
There was no need of any answer, for at that very moment a gust of wind whirled right up into their faces & hot hlast of thick. stifling smoke.
All three sprang to their feet at once, and, looking downward, beheld a sight which lit. erally paralyzed them for a moment.
Through the forest of tall, yellow grass that clothed the whole hillside below thein a long line of flame waa running like sum. mer lightning. Far to the right and far to the left, as if spreading itself to hem them in, that deadly line extended.
Higher and higher every moment rose the sea of fire straight up toward the spot where they stood, and the roar of the flames, the cracking and snapping of the lighted twigs, the hiss and crackle of burning lenves, the screams of the frightened birils as they fled before the fiery tempest, made a madden ing din.
Upward ran the three boys as fast as their feet could carry them; but closer and- closer behind them came the hot breath of the de- stroyer and the hideous uproar that accom- panied his march. Still, however, they strug. gled on, with gasping lungs and quivering lips and limbs strained to the utmost ; for they - knew that the grass on the higher | slopes was smaller and thinner, and, more- over, there was a chance of finding shelter in one of the rocky clefts that scamel the upper face of the mountain upon which the fire could have no power.
Suddenly Joe Elton-who was a little in advance of the other two and doing his hest to guide them straight-stopped short. with a cry of horror.
The grass above them was on fire, too! Under the shadow of the rolling smoke the imperiled trio looked at each other in silent dismav. But before anyone could speak Boh Barlow stumbled, dislodging an enor- mous stone, which went bounding down the slope and vanishesl into the fiame-tinged cloud below.
"Hurrah!" cried Joe. "There's a chance for us yet. Come, hoys: there are plenty of alones around. Roll 'em down on to the fire, and mind you roll them all dead straight in the same line."
Down went a second rock as he spoke. crushing the still ankindleil grass flat to the earth and tearing its way through the
burning mass beyond! like & plowshare through light soil. Another and another followed, each widening a little motr the narrow gap in the blazing circle thint bemmed them in.
"Now, boya," shouted Joe, as the fire. neared them. "let's make a break through that gap. Come along!"
All that followed was like an ugly dream. They were dimly conscious of plunging through Inpping flames and flying eparks, their pulses throbbing, their eyes aching. a rushing, roaring sound in their care ant the whole earth and sky wreming red-bot all | around them.
