Reserving forests in the ives from
monopoliZation for private <, - Is
government policy with which tne peo-
pie have become somewhat familiar
our national forest reserves amounting
now to nearly sixty million acres; but
the idea of applying this principle to
the older forests in the eastern states
may be new to some people and yet
is becoming Il prominent one. Moth
ing is giving it popularity and import
ance so much as the great interest
manifested by the President i'll the
subject
There are proposed great national
reservations in the southern Appala-
chan forests. in the White Mountains,
in Minnesota, and in other eastern
states. entirely separate and apart from
the great reservations in the west.
President Roosevelt is an arch disci-
pie of forestry and the great promi-
nence into which the subject has
jumped may be indicated by the
growth of the Bureau of Forestry
from Il small office. few years ago,
employing half dozen people, to an
/ institution with annual appropriations
of half million dollars. employing
hundreds of trained foresterS in the
field, and having the supervision, ac-
tual and tentative of nearly hundred
million acres of forest.
| If there ever was national ques-
ton it is forestry and the people of
the country are wise in waking up, or
fortunate in being wakened up, to its
.overshadowing Importance before ir-
revocable damage shall have been
done.
The largest of the proposed eastern
forest reserves is that in the Southern
Appalachian Mountains and that its
establishment is a matter of national
concern was dwelt upon with empha
sis by President Roosevelt in his ad-
dress at Raleigh, n. c., on October 20.
He pointed out how vitality southern
forests affect southern indus
tries and thus the entire coun-
try. The entire soUth-the territory
east OF the Mississippi and south of
the Ohio rivers-is affected by this
proposed reservation of some four
million mountain acres in which rise
all the rivers which water this area.
/ The President said:
81 want to say word to you on u
special subject in which all the coun-
try is concerned. but in which North
, Carolina has special concern. The
preservation of the forests is vital to
the welfare of every country. China
and the Mediterranean countries offer
examples of the terrible effect of de
| foreStation upon the physical geogra-
ply and therefore ultimately upon
the national wcll-being of the nations.
One of the most obvious duties which
our generation owes to the generations
| that are to come after us is to pre-
serve the existing forests. The prime
difference between civilized and un-
lcivilized peoples is that in civilized

BLACK WALNUT NUTMEGS.
Bishop Potter Was Sure That He
Mas Tasting the Real Article.

The power of suggestion is not
merely phrase; it really is power.
1t has the strength to deceive men in
the matter of cigars, wines, whiskeyS
and what not. 1t is force in medicine
as every doctor knows. 1t is an agent
in therapeutics. The power of sug-
gestion and the force of example are
intimately related. But to illustrate
the pranks which suggestion may play
with ones palate the following story is
told on Bishop Potter, a reverend gen.
tleman of ecclesiastic note and recent
Subway Tavern fame:
In the course of his diocesan ram
bles he called on an old friend from
the South. 1t was evening, and the
bishop was invited to supper, not din.
ner, for as people of the South know,
the appropriate time for dinner is mid
day and the meal after candle-light is
supper. One of the dishes served was
cottage-cheese or as it is more often
called in the language of the olden
time "smear-case." This is often eaten
under plentiful dressing of cream
and sugar. The bishop elected to have
a mess" of "smear-case" but his ap-
petite craved little grated nutmeg as
a flavor. This was embarrassing to
the hosts wife at the foot of the sup.

well, then, run down to Miss Bet

said the troubled hostess, who talked
with augmented vivacity and anima
tion to make the time pass quickly till
that nutmeg should be brought Soon
Aunt Dinah came in, her black face
wreathed with triumphant smiles, and
placed before the bishop the mess OF
"smear-case" generously sprinkled
with grated nutmeg.
"Ah," said the bishop. speaking with
that tone of complacent assurance,

LIFE OF BABY SAVAGE.
THE TREATMENT WHICH INDIAN
P4POOSES RECEIVE FROM
SQU4W MOTHERS.

Indian Redskin Very Seldom Cries-Is
Strapped to a Plank, Washed in the
Greek and Hung on a Tree to Dry
Out.
In the Indian papoose child nature
is essentially the same as in the Cau-
casion babe, though there is a strik-
ing contrast in their manners, due to
maternal treatment, or as student of
child nature might say, to environ
ment. The chief differences, really.
between the little Indian and the little
white is that the former is less a cry
baby than the latter. The reason for
this is that the white baby usually gets
what he cries for If it be within moth
ers' power to procure it. Learning this
from experience, for every mother
knows how wise and shrewd the baby
is, whenever he feels that certain ar
ticle would conduce to his content
ment, he forthwith howls. Now, the
papoose, so far from being encouraged
in this vocal exercise, is repressed. His
mother is unresponsive and the baby
not achieving what he weeps for, soon
learns that tears and walls profit not.
Perhaps If the white mother dwelt
in the deserts or the mountains so that
babv's crying would not disturb the
neiGhbors even she might let him cry
till WEAKNESS brought sleep, and per-
haps If the redskin mother lived
among sensitive neighbors she might
seek to pacify the crying babe with

a most beatifc expression. "what
grateful flavor nutmeg does add to
smear-case. This is the paragon of the
season."
The supper dishes cleared up and
the bishop gone, the hostess said to
Aunt Dinah, BE sure and get Miss
Betsy another nutmeg at the store in
the morning"
"Lor', Miss, Miss Betsy didn't had no
nutmeg, jes' took piece of black wal
nut from de ole window sill what dat
Yankee carpenter was repairin' to-day,
and done grated it over de cheese.
The La Jara chronicle., 1905-12-08

bribes that the neighbors might not
charge her with neglect of maternal
duty, or her baby with an evil disposi-
ton. Yet another reason for the calm
and placid habit and orderliness of the
papoose as compared with his fair
brother is that the darker little saw
age has no cradle, crib or go-cart to
sport and gambol in, but is either
packed tightly in basket or strapped
to a board. In this position he finds
kicking and squirming uncomfortable
exercise and his enforced repose de-
velops into habit.
So, the stoicism and the taciturnity
OF the Indian are nurtured in early
youth, though OF course one reason for
the Indians lack of fluency in speech
Is that in his life and thought he has
not the need of many words. The
primitive white man was not voluble.
Bath Day of Papoose.
The papoose has no nursery luxu-
rIes as little pale-face babes under
stand that phrase. He has no soft and
tepid water prepared for him by a
faithful maid or fond mamma. He
is never lathered DER with perfumed
soap nor busted with sweet-scented
powders. At intervals, usually two or
three times week, the mothers Of
the tribe or band take their babies to
the nearest creek, pool or spring, un-
strap the little ones and tumble them
into shallow water, where they have
a splashing time while the mothers
swap the gossip of the tribe. for
squaws are very feminine in their love
of personal news and chit-chat involv-
ing other sqHaws, bucks and braves.

Death for WeakIing Babies.
Nearly all Indian children that one
sees are hardy and well formed This
is because only those of robust copsti-
tuition survive the trials and exposure
of their babyhood. 1t is desired that
only the naturally strong should sur
Tive, for it is custom in most of
the tribes to wilfully expose, suffoca
or drown born weaklings or deformed
babies. Death is the lot of the un-
happy little baby whose health and
physique are below the tribal standard
The Albino child, and these are more
common among the Indians than might
be supposed, is certain to perish soon
after birth, because the coming of such
child is regarded as evidence of dis
pleasure of the Great. Spirit.
The redskin babe is released from
his lacings and swaddlings as soon as
he is old enough to walk, and then
his real child life begins. He has
! great freedom. When it is warm
enough to go without clothes, and the
indian child is Injured to cold, he tum-
bles and romps naked. His pets are
dogs and ponies and is as fond of
these as are his blond cousins. AS he
grows old enough to run he takes an
interest in the athletic sports of the
tribe and the usual young Indian games
are deer and hounds, hide and seek,
foot racing, pony racing, bow and arrow

the Indians philosophy that whipping

the Indian child is not subject to cor

of discipline which white children are
often made to endure, they are rever-
