How to rrea, q Sweetheart.

When be comes to see you, let m.
give you a few hints as to your treat
ment of him:
First of all, my dear, don't let him
get an idea that your one object in
life is to get all you can out of him.
Don't let him believe that you
think so lightly of yourself that when,
ever he has an idle moment he can
find you ready and willing to listen to
him.
Don't let him think that you are
going out driving with him alone,
even if your mother should be lenient
enough to permit this.
Don't let him think that YOU are
going to the dance or frolic with him;
you are going with your brother, or
else you are going to make up a party
which will all 60 together.
Don't let him speed his money ON
you; when he goes away, he may bring
you box of So eets, a to k of some
music; but don't let him feel that you
except anything but courteous atten-
ton.
Don't let him call you by your first
name, at leas. not until you are en-
gagged to him, and then only when
you are by yourselves.
Don't let him put his arms around
you; when he put the pretty ring on
your finger it meant that you we're to
be bis wife soon, he gained a few
rights, but not the one of indiscrim,-
nate csressing. When he placed it
there he was right to put a kiss on
your lips; it was the seal of your
love; but if you give your kisses too
freely they will prove of little value.
A maiden fair is like a beautiful,
rich, purple plum it hangs high up
On the tree and is lookei at with
envy. He who would get it must
work for it, aud al the trying should
be on his side, so that when be gets it
he appreciates it. You know the
story of the man who saw a beautiful
pun on a tree, which he very much
wanted. Next to it hung another
plum il seemed as beautiful, and it
was apparently just as sweet ss the
one he wanted. The seeker for it
3 God under it for a moment, looked
az it with longing eyes, and, behold,
The plum dropped into his mouth.
Of what value was it then? 1t was
looked at and cast aside. Now take
his little story and make it point the
neral / wish il to.

Three Pronounce "Chappies.r ,,

Three pronounced ''chappies'

America. One of them, a thin, dys-

SAVE THE TREES.

Garden and Forest has warmly advo-
Gated saving the last grove of giant Sc
q toias, " he big tees ia rularn coun-
~, California, and both houses oi Com
gress have passed unanimously a bill set
ting apart the grove forever as a public
park. The act secures also the springs
of streams that flow through the park,
and provides for the preservation of the
timber and natural objects, for the pro-
lection of the fish aud game, and for the
maintenance of the park in its natural
condition.
Garden and Forest now asks why "a
similar reservation should not be made
of a tract of the redwood forest in the
Coast Range. The trees are so valuable
that they are rapidly falling under the
axe, and trees almost as interesting as
the big trees, and even more beautiful,
will disappear. 1t hopes, also, that the
committees will report the Yosemite
Park bill, and undoubtedly in reserving
these noble tracts from destruction Con-
gress might be sure of universal public
approval.
The public interest in forestry, which
has been faithfully and forcibly fostered
by Garden and Forest, has arisen happi-
ly in time to save much that ought to be
saved, but could be saved only by
strong expression of opinion. The great
beauty and the universal enjoyment of
the parks which have been laid out with
in recent years have shown what an i'm
mense benefit and delight little fore
thought may secure to our children.
The reservation of Niagara, in New
York. and the earnest struggle for the
Adirondack forest, are fruits of the spirit
which has been awakened, and whether
the parks are vast tracts in the wilder
ness or breathing spaces in the city the
feeling which reserves them, and which
in turn they develop and encourage, is

The Needs of Agriculture.

The census just taken shows that the
cities have gained at the expense of the
country. Commenting on this fact The
Washington Post remarks that of course
''some of the country young men who
reach the cities achieve success, but their
number is not sufficient to swell census
return. That effect is produced, so far as
the cities are concerned, by the great army
of those who year by year take their place
in the ranks of competition, and soon find
themselves, in the prime of life. barely
able to make living, and with no better
prospect ahead. The time must soon come
when this continuous influx into our cities
of young men from the country will be
generally regarded as a misfortune The
operations of agriculture are at the founda
ton of all our prosperity as people
With the single exception of bad and I'M
just economic conditions, the circumstan-
ces of the American farmer are especially
favorable.
THE methods of varied and profitable
cultivation of the soil are daily becoming
better understood and inventive genius
has made available for farm work many
labor saving machines that relieve it Of
much of its drudgery. There is, indeed,
much to show that agriculture is arriving
at II new epOcn III lts history. but tne new
conditions will need new men. The more
varied the cultivation and the more nu-
merous the mechanical appliances EN-
ployed, the more will intelligence and en-
terprise be required in the management of
the field and farm. 1t is greatly to be
hoped that our well educated and active
young men, who from childhood are ia
miliar with the processes of farm life, will
see their opportunity in these changed and
changing conditions"
