HABITS OF THE SETTLERS.

According to Mr. Fisher, this has already beer
exemplifcd In miniature by the history Of Penn
syvania. In the first place the Dutch, and con-
temporary with them the Swedcs, formed small
trading and grazing communities. content TO get
rich as individuals without much thought OF
developing the country. They Nodded with tho
primeval forest hardly more than the Indians
did On this point Mr.. Fisher generalizes. The
Dutchman, he says. affected trading posts, and
lying off shore in his ships bartered for the furs
that were brought to him. The Swede looked
for open savannas by the waterside. and there
oct up his house and barns, diked and drained
and ploughed and sowcd pastured cattle In the
marshlande. and cultivated taste for intoxi-
eating drinks that was simply amazing. Even
the compiler of a modern barkeeper's manual
might well stare at list OF the drinks known
in ancient Pennsylvania Then there was the
Frenchman. who came into Pennsylvania late.
He sympathi with India;s turned half-savagc
himself to please them. and would have left the
forest Just as he found It forever. But the Eng
lish coonist carried not only his own gun and
his flask Of strong water. but also his axe. He
felled the trees he moved on his destructive
course, and the present generation Is beginning
to wish that this habit Of clearing away the
forest were less deeply ingrained in the people
OF the country. AS Mr.. Fisher puts It, all the
other races bow before the wilderness. accept
ii a fact; but the Engl!shman destroys it,
and so he maintains that the axe. crossed with
the rife. Is "the natural coat of arms IN America
