Mnnkind's Progress.

Institutions may crumble and gov
ernments fall, but it is only that they
may renew better youth. The petals
of the flower wither that the fruit
may form. The desire of perfection,
springing always from moral power,
rules even the sword and escapes I'M
harmed from the field of carnage, Civ
ing TO battles all that they can have of
luster and to warriors their only glory,
surviving martyrdoms and safe amid
the wreck Of states. On the banks of
the stream of time not a monument
has been raised to a hero or a nation
but tells the tale and renews the hope
of improvement. Each people that has
disappeared. every institution that has
passed away. has been a step in the
ladder by which humanity ascends to-
ward the perfection Of its nature
George Bancroft.

Two Definitions of n Gentleman.

To be a gentleman lis to he honest,
to be gentle. to be generous. to be
brave. to be wise. and, possessed Of all
these qualities, to exercise them in the
most graceful manner" says the great
novelist Thackeray.
A diner in certain hotel became so
noisy that the proprietor directed his
removal. The waiter who successfully
accomplished this, on returning to the
room, expressed his regret at having
been obliged to put the individual out,
for, said he, with emphasis, "he's a
perfect gentleman" adding after a
pause, as if to explain how he arrived
ut so decided a conclusion, "He give
me 'alf crown."-Notes and Queries.

\ Setback For Scientific Forestry.

People interested in scientific forestry
viii regret to learn of the suspension
of the Cornell College of Forestry.
This is n serious setback for Il move
ment in practical education from which
worry much in the way of good results
was expected. Instead of the blow be-
ing administered by ignorant outsiders
it seems TO have been given by the sci
enrific forcsters themselves.
According to all accounts. the sus-
pension of the institution was due to
tie inability of the heads of the college
to use good judgment in constituting the
purpose of the grants of $16J,00 worth
10000 acres of forest and $4,000 in
money. Since this was done on ac-
count of complaints of denudation Of
forests by lumbermen, the plain pur-
pose was to aid and demonstrate the
preservation Of forests. Preservation
does not mean denudatiOn. But the
college took the ground that the pur-
pose was 10 lctcn the pupllS HOW 10
utilize forest products and proceeded
to give the instruction which they
could have obtained in any lumber
camp by denuding 1900 acres of land
in three years and replanting accord
ing to the legislative report only 80.
The instruction that the state intended
to secure was how to preserve the for
est by removing only the fully matured
timber, leaving the forest as a whole
intact This the college appears to
have wholly failed to do, and it is fairly
chargeable with the failure to continue
the appropriate In view of the eff
forts being made throughout the coun-
try in the direction of forest preserva-
ton and the urgent necessity for such
efforts the failure of this experiment in
New York is TO be regretted.
