Manners in England.

Our American correspondent who
complained of the trombone blasts on
the human nose that pervade England,
suggests only one of the many small
differences in minor manners that dis
tinguish even near neighbors and good
friends, says an English journal. For
example, the Englishman regards his
own table manners as the best in the
world. He does not like to see an
American friend chop his meat into
small pieces, transfer his fork to the
right hand, and lift those pieces there
with. Moreover. the "Anglo-Saxon re-
union can never be accomplished ur-
til King Edward and President RoOse-
welt have come to an understanding as
to the proper method of eating boiled
egg Etiquette Of nomenclature, +"
also, differs in somewhat embarrass-
ing fashion. In England two men who
meet upon a common social plane ad-
dress each other by bare surnames as
soon as they have decided that they
are ready to carry on the acquaintance
But the dropping of the mr." in Amer
lea is almost as important as the
drinking of "Bruderschaft" and the
adoption of the second person singular
in Germany. Many Englishmen have
been worried by this little difference
between national customs.

BIG TREE-PLANTING PLANS.

Washington.-The United States bu-
reau of forestry has begun three extern
sive projects under its forestry-plant-
ing operations for the season. Fifty
thousand trees are to be planted in the
Pixies peak forest reserve, 300, 600 along
the lines of the Delaware and Hudson
River railroad, planted in cooperation
with the railroad company, while SIM
liar cooperation with a northern rail-
road is under way. The Pixies peak
forests are for water conservation,
while the railroad projects are to supply
crossties for the roads.
In cooperation with officials OF New
Hampshire, agents of the bureau of for
estry have commenced to make mapa
of the southern part of that state, which
will show the timber land, the agricul-
tural land and the barren areas suitable
for tree planting. 1t is proposed to map
100000 acres this summer. Forest
work in the state will be done chiefly
with the view of advising farmers and
owners of second growth forest as to the
best management for the production Of
pulpwood, boxwoods, firewood, etc.
Another object is to complete a forest
policy for the state, covering le gislatioI
upon fire and forest taxation; also a
system to protect timber land and to en-.

RESPECTING ONESELF.
Should Form Habit Of Gracious Man
ners and Never Let Oneself Ret
rograde in Appearance.

The girl who is credited abroad with
having a remarkably sweet disposition
should endeavor to be just as sweet

lily. Her voice should be just as soft,
her patience as great, and her will

as though the whole neighborhood
constituted an admiring audience in
the door yard. This may require
some effort, but every victory we gain
makes 1t easier for us to gain an
other. To be Just what we seem is
an evidence of strength. To be other
wise is to be deceitful. II q girl has
an ungovernable temper, let her pro-
coed to correct this serious evil, but
she should make as serious an effort
in the privacy Of home as when she is
among strangers. There is something
fine about the girl who makes no en-
deavor to put her best foot foremost,
who would rather have people know
her as she really is, than to pose as
something she is not. Her determine
ton to be thoroughly honest, however,
need not hinder her in correcting her
faults
A girl Is very apt to grow lax in
her personal appearance If much
alone. There is no excuse for this.
One should always look ones best,
whether on a desert island or in the
midst of many people. The girl who
comes downstairs in the morning
with her front hair done up in curl
ing kids, her back hair uncombed.
and wearing a morning gown fit only
for the rag-bag or the washtub, is
sure to be surprised some day by
visitors. No excuse she can offer for
her appearance will remove from the
minds of her callers the impression
she makes on them. Even though
she says the usual thing: "Oh, don't
look at me; I've got on every old dud
| have" and the visitors offend their
own intelligence by replying, about as
usual: "Oh, you look all right; no
body would ever notice II IL you didn't
say anything" she will drop e,hali
in their estimation. 1t is always best
to look as neat and clean as we know
how, If for no other reason than for
our own personal satisfaction. We
will be inspired with q much greater
respect for ourselves, If, on glancine
into a mirror, we behold neatly ar
ranged hair and fresh white collar,

rhoreau, the Prophet of Nature.

In an article in the Outlook Hamilton
W. Mabie thus sums up Thoreau's influ-
ence: "Tboreau was not the first Amer
lean to live out of doors, but he was the
FIRST to make out-of-door living a profess
sion, and to open the way to new kind
OF writing. His egotism, his assumption
of individual ownership in nature, have
helped to found school and toHreate a
cult; but his spirit has diffused itself
through American life, and he must be
counted among the permanent influences
In that life. He opened world of expe-
rience which is one of the great refugees
from the tyranny of work and wealth
from which flow restoring streams OF
health, vitality and joy. His defects of
temperament are lost in his agile and
virile idealism, and the best report of his
life is to be found in his parable: 4 long
ago lost hound, boy horse. and tur-
tie dove, and am still on their trail.
Many are the travellers I have spoken
concerning them, describing their
tracks, and what calls they answered to.
l have met one or two who have heard
the hound, and the tramp of the horse.

odors The noise from without fairly
shook her frail head, and each time
that she shivered the most wonderful
perfume fioated from her deep blue
gown; but Violet did not realize that.
for the perfume had always fingered
