of all men and is of special impor-
lance in the eyes OF the negroes, who

time of its erection, says the New
York Times.
The knowledge Of historical events
displayed by the man and brother
is pretty accurately Indicated in the
tale they tell in Nassau respecting
the occasion, few years ago, that
Columbus appeared in court. The
lawyer for the defense, attempting
to impeach the veracity OF plaintiffs

1T is a remarkable thing" said the for

ties of the scholar, and, hand in hand with
the naturally absorbed parent. plan the
course of conduct and study which will be
best for the boy or girl. He must be pre-
pared to discuss any sort of question, from
how much mathematics and Latin the in
tending scholar may have had, to what sort
of breakfast food should be used to gain
the best mental results, expressed in
French and history. Parents talk over
every mental as well as physical pecul-
iarity. The teacher is expected not only to
maintain active interest in the CONVEX

and effective suggestions. OF course this is

LONDON Letter.
Owing to queer suit in which a rich
young explorer, an erstwhile prima donna
of the Savoy Theater and major of the
British army are mixed up, planchette has
suddenly become the craze of the moment
in London society. The demand for the
mysterious little heart-shaped tables Is so
great that the toymakers are putting on
extra forces to turn them out Ping-pong
and bridge are forgotten In the desire to
get communications from the spirit world.
The craze was brought about by the finan-
cial tangle into which Harry Cavendish,
heir to over S1.000.000. and leader of six ven
turesome expeditions into darkest Africa
found himself, all on account OF some spirit
messages communicated to him by means
of planchette. Mr.. Cavendish, bold and

among the members of the Society of
American Foresters who attended the
weekly meeting of that association at the
home of Clifford Pinchot, the chief forester
of the Department of Agriculture. The
President remained about half an hour.
He talked to the assembly on the general
subject of the preservation of forests and
of forestry as profession. He said that
the object of the forestry policy was to
make and keep prosperous homes Homes,
he said. could be made temporarily pros
porous through forest destruction. but could
not be made permanently so except by the
preservation of the forests Forestry, he
declared. was the preservation of forests
by wise use of what they afford. The
professional forester, he said, has as wide
a field of usefulness as men in other pro-
fessions such, for instance, as medicine
and law, and they should fit themselves
for 1t by thorough study and by a wide
point or view. The most hopeful sign In
the forest situation, the President believed.
was that the lumbermen were approaching
the benefits of forestry and were practicing
it, The President touched on the subject
of irrigation, and in this connection de-
clared that forest preservation was neces-
sary to the successful operation of this
means of assisting the farmer in arid re-
gions.

President Roosevelt, who has 1t in their
power to accomplish more good than those

this is especially true of those engaged in

is the object of the national forestry pol

serve the forests because they are beauti-
full, the homes of wild creatures, but
because it is essential to the making OF
prosperous homes and a part of the ira

try. The success Of home-making depends
in the long run upon the wisdom with
which the Nation cares for it's forests. You
