have suffered ourselves to misunderstar d
self government itself, when the question
was whether it could be put into practice
amid conditions totally unlike those with
which, and with which alone, we have been
familiar. The people of the United States
have never known anything but self govern
ment since the colonies were founded.
they have forgotten the discipline which
preceded the founding Of the colonies, the
long drill in order and in obedience to law

generations were once in tutelsge in order

One reads from time to time of the fabu-
l,us sums paid fer cigars. A favorite story is
that Mr. Chamberlain never touches anyth
ing cheaper than shilling cigar, and that
every time Lord RothSchiid smokes 10 shil-
lngs vanish into the ambient air. Accord
ing to Mr. Weingott, the well-known tobac
co merchant, all such stories are the purest
invention. AS far as mere quality of to.
bacco goes, the best cigar in the world can
be purchased for Is. Cd, and anyone who
gives more than this sum is paying tor size,
peculiar shape or for some peculiar brand
which is only valuable for its rarity and moi
for its excellence. Those torpedo like cigars
which one sees in toDaccouists' windows
encased in glass sheatbs are mainly traps to
catch the unwary. The most remarkable
thing abous them is their size and theil
startling variation in price, according to the
locality in whick they are sold. La the
West Ead they are priced at anything bet
ween Ell Is. and lbs; in the less gilded

The hopes of Minnesota champions Of TO
rest preservation have been somewhat DASH
ed by recent developments in connection
with the Chippewa Indian reservation. Il
was proposed at first to save the whole tract
of ancient pine lands for scientifs care as q
national forest. The Vaccinations of lum-
bermen, some pressure from other quarters
to open the lands for settlement and the
willingness of Minnesota representatives to
truckle to both sorts of self-seeksrs have led
to considerable mod fication OF the original
plan. Some of the friends of the scheme,
however, are inclined to accept the changes
as the most that can be had at the present
time. The segregation of forest lands Is to
be lmited, according to present proposals,
to 225 900 acres, and these are not TO be
turned over to the Department Of AgricHl-
ture until the pine timber, or all but 5 per
cent. of it, has been removed. One other
concession provides that the wooded Islands
aud promontories in Oass and Leech Lakes
are to be saved, and some $4,000 acres
besides, in lots not to- exceed 32J acres each,
in continuous line.

every other kind of forest tree known in

for the remarkable timber upon it, but alst
