Our Diplomatic Swallow Il all.

For a long time We have been reaping
damage from couple of disastrous prece-
dents. One is the precedent of shabby
pay to public servants standing for the
power and dignity Of the Republic in
foreign lands: the other is a precedent
condemning them to exhibit themselves
officially in clothes which are not only
without grace or dignity, but are pretty
loud and pious rebuke to the vain and friv
olous costumes worn by the other officials.
To our day an American ambassador OH
cial costume remains under the reproach
of these defects. AT a public function in
a European court all foreign representa-
tiveS except ours wear clothes which IN
some way distinguish them from the I'M
official throng, and mark them as stand
ing for their countries. But our repre-
sentative appears IN plain black swallow
tail, which stands for neither country nor
people 1t has no nationality. Its found
in all countries: it is as international It's
night shirt. 1t has no particular meaning;
but our Government tries TO give it one: it
tries to make it stand for republican
simplicity, modesty, and unpretentious-
ness. Tries, and without doubt fails; for
it is not conceivable that this loud osten-
tation of simplicity deceives any one. The
statue that advertises its modesty by a tg-
leaf really brings its modesty under suspi
cion. Worn officially, our nonconforming
swallow tail is declaration of ungracious
independence in the matter of manners,
and is uncourteous. 1t says to all around
''In Rome we do not choose to do as
Rome does; we refuse to respect your
tastes and your traditions; we make no
sacrifices to any ones customs and pre-
JUDGES; we yield no jot to the courtesies
of life; we prefer our manners, and in
trude them here
That is not the true American spirit;
and those clothes misrepresent us. When
foreigner comes among us, and tres
passes against our customs and our code
of manners, we are offended, and justly
so but our Government commands our
ambassadors to wear abroad an official
dress which is an offence against foreign
manners and customs; ard the discredit
of it falls upon the nation. Mark Twain
in the March Forum.

Sea ManureS.
Sea Weed as Source of Plant Food.

Sea weeds have long been used as
m M IN this country and in Europe.
Here In New England there is abundant
evidence OF the great value of sea manure.
According to Storer, with the exception
OF the lntervale farms of the Connecticut
River, the farms that depend upon the
manures derived from great cities, and
few localities in which the fertility
is based upon fish manure, 'sthe only
really fertile tracts in New England
are to be found back of these sea-
beaches upon which an abundant sup
ply OF seaweeds is thrown up by storms
The following table gives the pounds
OF fertilizing ingredients contained in
half ton Of the more common seaweeds
in comparison with the plant food furnish
ed by average farm manure and average
commercial fertilizer. The figures for sea
weeds are taken from bulletin NO. Ply
of the Rhode Island Experiment Station
which is by far the best treatise ON sea
weeds and their use yet issued. The
figures are the average of three or four
I different analyses

pounds of seaweeds, farm manure, ana a
