The subject of forestry is engaging in
creased attention not only in Vermont but
throughout the country. AT the recent
session of the forestry congress at St.
Paul, Mimi, reports were adopted urging
the Legislatures of the different States to
establish forestry experimental stations
and appoint forestry commissions. Res
olutions were adopted urging all indus
trial colleges and normal schools to be-
gin at once teaching tree planting and,
as soon as practicable, the introduction
of the science and art of forestry in pub
lie schools.

TIE new postal notes will be the most
popular and useful device ever sent out
by the postofiice department. Since the
''shinplasters" were called in, it has been
very inconvenient to transmit small
sums by mail; but these will make it
easy. The notes are now being sent to
the postoifices of the country and will
come into use September 3. After that
date they can be bought at any postofiice
in sums below S. each at cost of three
cents. The notes are thus described:
The notes are bound in books of $50
sheets, or 500 notes each, with stubs to
indicate the amount for which each note
is issued. Each postmaster who receives
package is supplied with blanks and
instructions for the conduct of the postal
note business. The notes are printed on
linen bank-note paper of the best quality,
of a clear lemon color, chemically pre-
pared so as not to be affected by moisture
or exposure to light, but, at the same
time, the paper is sensitive to acids and
other liquids used for the removal of
writing inks. The underlying tint of the
face is printed in golden brown from
steel plates, and is similar to that of the
old fractional currency issued during the
war. The paper is watcr-marked, and
each note is cut in such II manner that its
exact place in the sheet is determined
The design of the water-mark is ribbon
containing the words III. S. Postal
Note, and only parts of it appear on
any single note. The underlying tint
covers the entire surface of the note. and
contains a vignette of the Goddess of
Liberty, upon which is circle of wat
cred silk design for recording the places
of issue and destination. A broad tint is
made by the myriad repetition in very
small letters of autographs design of
the letters ~. S. Il. N."-United States
Postal Note-and these words appear in
different designs on various parts of the
face. The back of the note is printed in
n rich dark green ink, similar to a green
back, except that il is done by the surface
printing process. In the centre is geo.
metrical lathe work monogram surround
ed by intricate cycloidal lathe work. At
either side are pieces Of circular concen-
trie lathe work containing more than
forty original cutting, which present an
insurmOnDtable task to the counterfeiter.
Across the entire back are the legends
required by law as to the payment of the
note.

ma Fins English Gentleman.

In an incisive essay in the Century, on
the characteristics OF London" w. j.
Stillman describes the English gentle
man, and contrasts him with the best
American type, as follows: sand it is in
this very class which | have, in no dis
paraging sense, termed Centauric, the

has reached its highest, that we find
here and there, cased like the flower of

mainly as the world knows it, the true
English gentleman-a being whose ex-
terror deeorum may be counterfeited by
his emulator, whose inmost gentleness
and courtesy may be Swallowed forth in
peer or peasant-Who loves his kind,
and feels the common bond of divine
birth, but whose most perfect union OF
noble demeanor and large-heartedness
can only be found where the best type
of mind has been permitted the largest
and richest culture and the completest
freedom Of hereditary development IN
the most favorable external clrcum-
stances. There are mobiles and noble
men-men who seem to be conscious
only that. surrounding men are lower
than they, and others whose illumina-
ton pervades every one near them and
brings all up into the same world OF
light and sweetness. The prestige OF
nobility is founded on true human in
stinct; occasionally one finds an English
nobleman who justifies its existence, and
makes us snobs in spite of our democ-
| racy.
Il could, I am certain, point to
Americans who, in every essential trait
| of the gentleman, will stand comparison
with any aristocrat born-men in whom
gentlehood' has grown to hereditary
ripeness; the third and fourth genera
| tions of men who have cultivated on

morality, sincerity, courtesy, self-abne-
cation, humanity, benevolenee; men and
women whose babyhood was Graded in
