Manners, Not Mannerism.

''Men's behavior" observes Bacon, "should be, like their dress, not too straight or point device, but free for exercise or notion" There can be no genial fellowship between affable, courteous people and your stiff backed Journalists; while the intercourse of the latter with one another is necessarily dull and dreary to the last degree. They can no more enjoy society in their strait jackets of cold reserve than a wretch in the stocks could en joy the hilarity of the crowd around him. Whoever desires to make friends should be cordial and conciliatory
 Nobody cares for automatic men and women who seem to go by clock work, and to want oiling at that. The error of utter unreserve should be avoided, too. It is less repulsive than it's oppo site, but it does infinitely more mischief A man had better seal up his thoughts and feelings in his own breast than sputter them forth, in season and out of season, to everybody he meets. Such incontinency of speech is sure to make the person guilty of it unpopular, and to create general embarrassment and alarm in the circle in which he moves. New York Ledger

AuStralia'S Pastoral Areas.

Australia has in her vast pastoral areas sources of wealth as great and more permanent than those of her mines. Already she has nearly 100, 100000 of sheep, which in the mild climate and under the sunny sky of the country require no shelter throughout the year and no food beyond what they get on the open plains. It is true that the sunny sky may change to sky of brass, and that drought is the dread of the Australian shepherd, herds man and farmer. Occasionally there is succession of dry seasons, and then sheep have perished by millions and cattle by thousands on the more re- mote stations.
 To master recurring droughts is the great problem of Austra!ia's inland future. Here, as elsewhere, nature challenges mans free advance and places some special obstacle in his way Australians are facing their task with energy, confidence and with promise of much success. They have learned the art of drawing wealth even from scrub land, of which a single sheep requires several acres for it's support. Irriga tion works on large scale have been begun in Victoria and south AustxauA

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
TENDERLY HANDLE THE DEAD.

TENDERLY HANDLE THE DEAD.
 Editor of Me NeUs:
 Dear Sir Fl have never taken occa- >ion to write u letter of complaint on matters that might be personal, but l beg leave to make 8 statement of facts.
 On the 18th inst. my mother died at Rochester. N. Y. On Friday last my ,ather brought her remains to Pitts6eld, thriving there at a. m., having made 8 change at Albany and then making an- ,ther one at Pitts6eld. At both places rhe box containing the coffin was han- lied with care. and moved on truck which was on four wheels, and the mat ter was managed decently and in order Three passenger tickets were purchase for Winsted two for my father and my self, who were living passengers, and the other for my mother, who was in ner coffin. At Canaan the box was taken from the car, and a small truck with two small wheels of about six inches iu diameter was run under the box until 1t could be balanced and then it was jolted over the narrow blanks of the platform .round to the train then standing there for Winsted, my father and I following closely and fearing that some accident might happen. The box c ,uld not have been handled more roughly and savag- ly if it had been trunk or box of merchandise. I said nothing because l saw no larger truck in sight and l thought perhaps, ronsid ering that it vas not large station, there might not have been one, and besides there was no time to dispute. uo not think any of the men handling that passenger would have done the same thing to their mothers, wives or children.
 To make matters worse my father found some party, who admitted his re- -ponsibility, when he returned on Tues lay, and so far from expressing the slightest regret that person had the assurance to say that small wheeled truck did not jar 8 coffin more than a large wheeled one. That man must think other. people are fools. l have and ohliging, and l have seen many times cases where they have had fault found with them unreasonably, but occasionally men get Tn places they are nnfitted for This man in charge sad that they always handled cofGns in that way, and he was very lofty and impu- ueuG aDOuG bu0 IuhbbtT. lllS PAdCt IS where he can handle pigs and pig iron and where members of the human race. alive or dead, need not be exposed to his treatment. My object in writing rhis is to call the attention of all people who may have occasion to use the Canaan station under similar painful circumstances to the common custom observed there, that they may prevent it and perhaps bring about a reform. ] do not believe any reader of THE NEWS would submit to such treatment without some remnnstrance. Former custom Is not an excuse. Lack of time Is not all | excuse for the other train never leaves until passengers have been transferred. Laziness and brutality afford reason, but not an ercuse That more men nigh, he needed Is not an excuse. for bystand | CTS. who always show willingness tc help, are always enough in number Pardon the length of this.
 Respectfully yours,

From these and other considerations 1t Is wise to claim that the internal ad- minslstration of any form of medicin. should either be based on a knowledge of it's contents and general effects. cr upon the skill and knowledge of phy
 slcian familiar with the quality a,iu effects of the substance he Is administer tug. No one knows so well as the phy- slcian how unsafe 1t Is to administer a remedy, merely on the ground of q name of disease. While symptoms are sometimes to be dealt with some what irrespective of their cause, it is never true that disease should be treated merely by it's supposed name. Those who have the best means o1 knowing are fully satisfied that more are iuj ured than benetitted by that pro- miscuous prescribing which always at tends the use of patented medicines. Good food, good air, exercise and rlgh1 living do so much for health that we ln cline to prescribe these for more and to leave the use of medicines for that class of cases in which skilled and experienced practitioners have learned how to relieve certain diseases by equally certain rem- dles.-The Independent, March If

RAMIE IN CALIFORNIA.

The attention Of Captain II. +.
Boyes Of Aqua Rica farm having
been called to ramIe he has decided
to introduce its cultivation in Sono-
ma Valley this season. He has al
ready prepared ten acres Of land and
will commence planting as soon as
the ramie roots are received. 1t is
to be hoped that Captain Boyes' ven
ture will prove "a profitable one.
Until recently the great obstacle in
the way Of the extensive and profit
able cultivation Of ramie in this
State has been the want Of proper
machine to defbrize the plant and
put it in shipping condition. THIS
obstacle has now been surmounted, a
delibrizing machine having recently
been patented and set up in Oakland
that now makes it possible TO cult
vate ramie with immense profit. -

BOARD OF HEALTH.

The Board Of Health met yestcrz
day and was occupied mainly with
the consideration Of improvements at
the Leper Settlement, MOlOkai, re-
commended by President Dayton
after personal examination on the
ground. The recommendations were
adopted, including the making OF new
rules, repairs aud construction OF
buildings, and the making Of a res
eryoir on the pipe line between Ka-
laupapa and kaIawao. The reser-
voir is to provide against any posi-
bic break in the pipes, which would
iesult in u water famine 10 the 900
and odd people living at Kalaupapa.
The population at the Settlement
by the recent census (Dec. 29) was
1873, divided 9O7 at Kalaupapa and
81 at Kalawao. According TO the
Boards records the number OF peo-
pie, including the healthy, at the
Settlement was 1907 on January |,
a number having been sent there
after the census.
The Board has sent to Germany,
through the Foreign Office, for a
supply of DR.. Koch's lymph for the
treatment of lepers.
