Since the lofty pines which once domi-
mated the Maine woods have been laid
low by the axe of the lumbermen, and
pine lumber is imported from Michigan,
it has often been suggested that the
name of Pine Tree State should be
changed. Once it might have been the
Spruce Tree State, but the pulp mills
and Christmas tree trade are making
havoc with the spruce. Now it seems
as though the Porcupine State might
be appropriate. At the recent session
of the Governor and Council they had
before them certified returns from 3l5
cities, towns and plantations, most of
them in eastern Maine, representing
$4,000 porcupines killed by hunters
since the bounty law was passed last
winter, and which had been paid for
out of the municipal treasures at 25
cents per porcupine. As the Legisla-
ture appropriated $500 to pay for the
porcupines which it was expected would
be killed under the bounty law and as
315 towns thus far ask to be reimbursed
to the extent of $4,000, it is not hard
to figure out that the number of porcu-

pines in Maine and the enterprise OF
the porcupine hunters were very much
underestimate by the lawmakers.
These returns are for only one year
and as the law will be operative for at
least another year it looks as though
the State might have a bill of some
$25,OUO, and only $500 with which to
pay it.
Arriving in England soon after the
death of President Mckinley, and a
s6journer there at the time of his flu.
neral the writer was impressed by the
sympathy from all classes and the signs
of mourning everywhere. On private
residences as well as public buildings
flags were at half mast, and memorial
services were held in all the large cities.
1t seemed to us that there could not
have been more sincere or more general
mourning in our own country, and on
returning home we endeavored to con-
vey through these columns some idea
of this sentiment. In the February
Atlantic we find what we wished to ex-
press most forcibly and fittingly said
by that master of the English language,
Col. Thomas Wentworth Higginson.
He closes a paper on English and
American Cousins in these words:
No American could possibly have
passed through England during the
anxious days of President McKinley's
final ordeal and death, without being
profoundly impressed with the inalien-
able tie between the two nations whose
cousinship never before was so strik-
ingly visible. happened to be at Exc
ter, a city as marked, perhaps, as any
in England for all that is non American
in church and State. All through that
fatal Sunday the kilograms conveying
the latest returns were put out, from
time TO time, at the windows of the
office, and all day long one might see
groups or single observers coming, go
ing, and pausing to inspect; even chill
dren eagerly transmitting the success
sive items of news from one to another
There was no religious service held in
the city, from the most conservative to
the most liberal, where there was not
some reference made to the incident.
In all of these there was reported-and
as to three or four | can personally tes-
tify- fullness of feeling such as touch
ed the heart of every American. On
the next morning whole pages of the
country newspapers, usually so barren
OF American items, were crowded with
reports of Sunday services in various
towns and villages. Driving through
the country. in any direction, during
these sorrowful days, one saw mourn
ing flags here and there, on the streets,
on public buildings and before private
houses. In London the very omnibus
drivers sometimes carried them. We
were constantly told that no European
sovereign's death had ever brought
fortl, so much testimonial of grief, and
we could well believe it, No American
who happened to be in England during
that experience can ever again doubt
the depth and reality of English ands
American cousinship.
