Major Edgar A. de Bernales Editor and propris.
tor OF The London Hotel World" who Is nov n
this country. has this to say of American hotels:
You can live at a London or Paris hotel much
more cheaply than at an American house. and eet
better quality and more quantity Of food You ia
not practise In this country the science Of economy
Tons and tons Of good. valuable meats and breads
are dumped daily out OF the back doors Of hotels IA
America while we In London or England wasts
pounds. You get better meal for 30 or 10 cent?
at Paris restaurant than is served you at the
leading American hotels for from 81 TO 10. The
French know how not to waste"

many Letters from children begging for presents Of

ister OF instruction an order 10 the public school
teachers to discourage the writing Of such letter.
by pupils except In cases OF necessity. In one mail
q few days ago. His Majesty received four letter.

children who asked for the sewing machine was
found to belong to a wel-to-do family. She was

The devastation Of forests still goes in various
parts Of the country which. unlike New-York and
few OF the Eastern and Middle states. do not
appreciate the value OF trees Unfortunately. this
appreciation. even in the East. has come too late.

mated that this area will yield nUre than Ro,o0M
feet OF white and yellow pine. red and white fir.

also yield Is not taken into consideration In thn
estimate. Americans have too long looked upon
trees as in their way unless they coild be used 10
build fires or for commercial purposes. This was
