An amusing story illustrative of the Scots’ reputed closeness in money matters was related by Envoy Queree, of the Salvation. Army, Christchurch, in * talk last week on-his travels in Great Britain. “A Salvation Army lassie was collecting in Aberdeen, when she approached an aged native. ‘Will ye gi’e a little for the Lord?’ she queried. ‘How old are you?’ came the reply. ‘Seventeen.’ ‘Well, lassie, I am 75, and I’ll see the Lord before thee, and when I see Him I’ll give Him all I have.’” Thq envoy discounted the story, however, by adding that at nearly all the places at which he had stayed in Scotland his board money had been refused. EXPORT MARKETS FOR WOOD PRODUCTS. According to Mr. R. St. Barbe Baker, a forestry expert of wide experience, America has cut seven-eighths of her forests; while one-half of the remaining area wa<s in reserves. Thus U.S.A. is working on its last 16th, and must look for further supplies from outside sources. America will be looking to New Zealand as a source of supply later on. There will be large export markets for the products of the forests established by N.Z. Perpetual Forests, Ltd.—Advt.
