NEW YORK, Aug. 17.—After five years the $5,000 “Stradivarius” violin, the dis- appearance of which sent its venerable owner, Prof. Bott, to his grave, worrled his widow until the same fate almost came to her, and nearly landed in a felon's cell Victor §. Fletcher, known as a connoisseur In musical fnstruments, has been found. Ever since his conviction on a charge of stealing the violin, Mr. Fletcher has devoted his time and energy to searching for the instrument. The case is now be- fore the court of appeals.

Tarr, a violin maker of Brooklyn, had told him a few days before of the marvelous violin owned by Mrs. Amelia Springer of Brooklyn, who has a small shop on Smith street Mrs. Springer readily allowed Fletcher to see the instrument and he said he would bring & friend to see it. Detective Ser- geant Prince accompanied Fletcher to Brooklyn. After a thorough examination of the instrument, the detective was con- | vinced it was the stolen “Strado.” He so informed Mrs. Springer, and telling her who he wag took the instrument to police headquarters. Mrs. Springer bought the violin for $300 Detective Prince and Fletcher are con- vinced they have the right instrument Two principal marks are a chipped cor- ner, which has been glued on and a pe- cullar mark made by the wearing of the bow.

This kept up for a long period and time and again 1 have resolved that I positively would drink no more coffee, but alas, the rest of the family used it, and, like the re- formed drunkard who smells whiskey and falls again, when I smelled coffee, I could not resist it nally we came to try Postum Food Coffee and my trouble was over at once There 1 had my favorite beverage,—a crisp, dark brown, rich coffee, with a fine pungent coffee taste, and yet with no sour stomach or nervous troubles after it. On the con- trary, I have gained gradually in strength and sturdy health. All who have epoken to me about Postum agree, and we have found it so, that the directions for making must be followed, and it must be boiled at least fitteen minutes, or more, and it also requires the addition of good cream. We have tried boiling it a few minutes when in « special hurry, but found it insipid and un- satisfactory; whereas by proper boiling, it is dark and rich. with a delightful flavor. “Dr. McMillan of Sunbeam, 1ll., sald he had used Postum and found it to be just as good as coffee, and more bealthful. He is an M. D. of fine standing. Mr. David Strang and sister have left off coffee and are using Postum. They find it much more healthful. Rev. W. T. Campbell, pastor of the Second United Presbyterian Church of this city, says You may say anything good that you wish, about Postum Food Coffee and 1 will substantiate it He was @ very great lover of coffee and yet found it very injurious to his health.

This fleld, which | has but very recently taken a hold on the public interest, Is the profession of for estry. The forestry of today is interested in the protection of trees, but it has for its chief | end the utilization of mature trees to ob- tain their maximum commercial value and the maintenance of forests for the purposes of Income-earning investments. Indirectly the preservation of the trees is included | because to get lumber you must first have | your trees, but the eesential object ahead | of the modern forester is the acquirement | of wealth where ‘there heretofore waste and such assistance of nature that | she may do her work with the maximum amount of offectiveness.

Mineralogy, ge- ology, zoology, mathematice, physies and | chemistry are as useful to him as a knowl- | edge of the laws of taxation, economics and | trade To make a success of forestry as a pro- | fession a young man should expect to spend: aboui three years o preparation. | The first year should be given to the study of botany, surveying, political economy law and to some extent mathematics, chem. | istry, physics and geology. In short, a | course should be taken in 4 regular school | of forestry, such as two of the universities now provide. Most coliege graduates | vould, of course, have already prepared | themselves in such subjects. The second | | year should be devoted to the study of for | estry under the guldance of a veteran for ester, and experfence relatively comparable to that which a young medical student gets in a clinic or bospital. The third year should be spent in lumber camps and lum ber mills, with, if poesible, a trip abroa | where the silvicultural principles of Ger- | many or France may be studled. The States Departmont of Agriculture United offers o a few well qualified men just the sort of experience that {s suggested for ‘v)u' second year. A certaln number of men | who have boen properly recommendsd are | now taken out into the field each summer | and paid a salary of §26 a month, In addi | tion to their expenses while in the field Some 232 applications for these appoint- ments were received this year by the di- vision of forestry, most of them from the mcre important colleges. From Yale and Harvard alone 100 were received, while seventy-seven more were scattered over different parts of the Atlantic states. Of | the remainder sixteen are from California | where several students from Berkeley and Leland Stanford had appointments last | summer, and a somewhat larger number | from the states of the middle west in which forests ox!¥, A few were from the tree- less region. P all sixty-one applicants have been appointed and are now beginning work. They are divided up among the field experts who are making investigations and forest surveys as follows: In the state of Washington, seven; in Californla, thirteen; in the Black Hills, nine; in the middle west, five; in Arkansas, ten; in the Ap- palachian region, two; in the Adirondacks, fitteen, Experience by Roughing It. Equipped with the usual camping para- | phernalia expected when a party is going to “rough it," these young men are taken out among the forests of Oregon or the red woods of California or wherever the squad to which they happen to belong is assigned and they spend the summer in collecting the measurements of trees and making surveys, from which the foresters of the division can next winter draw con- clusions and tabulate results. As the students work in squads under a trained forester, they are found to pick up & pretty good notion of the significance of they are doing and the way in which a forester does his work. One of the sub- jects of amateurs Is the effect of forest fires on the forests. Gifford Pinchot, forester of the Depart- ment of Agriculture, in a recent number of the Forester, writing of opportunities open to the young forester, says: “He may reasonably look for paying employment, either from private owners of forest land, | such as great companies or wealthy lumber- men from such states as New York or Penn- sylvania, or from the government, either In the general land office, where the natfonal forest reserves are administered, or in the division of forestry, to which the general progress of the sclence and art of forestry s | assigned, together with all technical forest work and in which the interests of the vast area of private forest lands are considered. At present the pay of the foresters is on about the same plane as that of the instruc- ors and professors in a university You don't go into forestry, therefore, to get rich. For him, however, who loves the out-of-doors, who prefers the wealth of cheerfulness and health to that of gilded strenuosity, who does his work not so much for what it brings him as for the fun of do- ing it, forestry as a profession offers com- pensations most worthy of consideration. st ph Live Stock SOUTH 8T.

Fourteen homestcaders sprung a surprise on the officlals of the United States land this city Wednesday afternoon when thay stepped in and handed in their filings for some government land which it Lud been supposed was held by the In dians under allotment from the sovern ment. This land, comprising fourteen quarter sections, lies within a half mile to a mile and & half of the town of Wagner on the Yankton reservation, anl on count of its close proximity to the toan is regarded as being quite valuable as reservation land goes. It has always heen the supposition that this land was held | by the Indians and was given fnem by the government, but an inves‘igation lns been golng on of late, evidently by par tles In Washington, and it has been dis covered that while the land has been hell in severalty by the Indians there were no Indians but such names on the reservation and there was no evidence that the allol ment had ever been transferred. This is the contention of the homesteaders and they expect to have no trouble to prove their case before the General Land office While the officials of the Land office ac cepted their filings they declined to take any money for the same, as it did not ap- pear by the government tracts that any uch land was open to filings. This action however, will give them a standing te fore the department at Washington, so that they can proceed with the case Street Falr for Stoux Falla. SIOUX FALLS, §.

SIOUX FALLS, 8. D., Aug. 17.—(Special.) After holding out for nearly sixty days the insurance companies which had issued policies on the Cataract hotel building which was destroyed by fire on the night of June 30 last, have finally decided to pay the full amount of the policies. Some of the adjusters have been claiming that it would be the better plan for the companies, instead of paying the policies, to recon- struct the buflding, alleging that to do so would save the companies thousands of dollars. They must have altered their minds in reference to this and the $665 insurance carried on the building will now be paid New Residences at Mitchell. MITCHELL, §. D., Aug. 17.—(Special.) D. H.
