White Pine For Refreshing.

Observations and experiments in
northern states lead our forest experts
to recommend white pine as the most
suitable as we'll as the most profitable
for planting on low priced lands in sec
lions where reforestation is desirable.
In many cases all that is needed is to
encourage and direct the natural proc
esses of reforestation.
Opinions differ among forest authori-
ties as to the best Seeding for the
average conditions of northern soil. All
agree, however, that reforesting should
not be left to chance, but the forests
carefully planted and attended during
the whole time of growth i'll order to
secure the best results. Good growth
has been obtained by transplanting
wild seedlings, which grow on most
New England farms and are cheap for
the purpose. But some experimentcrs
prefer nursery grown stock.

An Ancient Game.

In the ancient game Of 'coddam"
there are usually three players OH Il
side, and the three who are in conceal
their hands under the table and hide IL
button or small coin in one of them.
Then the hands are brought simulta-
neOusly OH to the table, and one of the
other side has to guess which hand the
piece Is in. He may do this if he likes
by a process of elimination, ordering
away II by one the hands he thinks
are empty, the order Galleries away
meaning that he guesses both outside
hands to be empty. An incorrect guess
scores a point against the guessing
side, a correct one puts them Gin"
There is another form Of this game
called "tip it." The difference between
"coddam'' and "tip it" is that in one
the guesser only is allowed to speak; in
the other the Sin" side may talk as
much as they will in the hope of lead
ing the guesser astray.

A Good Trick.

Tell your friends that you are able
to show them what they never saw
before, what even you never saw, and
what no n in the world ever saw,
and what, after you have seen 1t and
shown it to them, nobody else shall
ever see again.
This will appear as an impossibility
to them, and they will most likely as
sert that you can't do any such trick.
You admit that it seems difficult, but
that you are a wiz" and can perform
the wonder.
Then produce a nut and, having
cracked 1t, take out the kernel and
ask them if they ever saw that be-
fore. They will, of course, answer
mo" You reply, Neither have L,
and ! think you will confess that no
one else has seer it, and now no one
else shall ever see it again." saying
which you eat the kernel, and all the
above conditions will have been full
filled.

How to Cover a Book.


How many boys and girls know how
to cover a book properly-that is, so as
to get the square and even? 1t
is not hard after you have been shown,
though it is not easy to guess. Put the
book in the center of a sheet Of paper
large enough to allow two inches to
be turned in at the top, bottom and
sides. Fold the cover over the sides
and crease it sc that it will not slip.
Then cut diagonally from the top and
bottom of the paper to points just a
little beyond where the book will open.
In many books this may be determined
easily by the binding. Cut straight
Sits from the top and bottom of the
paper to the four corners of the edges.
Then fold the paper forming the ex-
tension of the sides down between the
book and the part of the paper cover
which folds over the top. This will
make each corner perfectly square.
When using cloth it Is better to fold
the corners rather than to slit them. as
the cloth is apt to fray, but they should
always be turned and folded so as to
come outside the book itself between
1t and the cover.

Democracy Boom In China.

That scheme of the emperor of China
to give his people Il constitution as
soon as they have been educated up to
1t has an innocent look for western
eyes. 1t is taken for granted that Il
nation which has been ground under
an absolute %despotism for centuries
needs to be slowly led toward the
glare of pure democracy. In national
affairs the Celestials haven't wen the
semblance of representative govern
ment. The emperor is everything and
tune for his subjects. And yet self
government has developed locally in
China to a degree not cNcelled in any
other country in the world.
The emperor's new edict definitely
promises a constitution when the Chi
nese masses come to understand their
relations to the government. meaning
the national government. Heretofore
they have held to the relation of an
Notwithstanding to balk, defy and
cheat the central power. In other
countries we call this form of selfish
ness lack of patriotism. But the Chi,
nese are intensely patriotic in a local
way. They are loyal heart and soul
to the ancestral stamping ground. to
the district and to the province of their
birth. Other districts and provinces
are rival territory and even the enc
my's country, although peopled by Chi
nese. In other words, China knows no
national sentiment. Individualism Is
there carried to an extreme In one di-
rection. The individual sticks to his
family Or clan against all other claims
and interests. His training for citi-
zenship in a nation must be a process
of unlearning rather than of learning.
Schooled for generations to live for
himself within certain fixed limits. he
must be taught to serve and obey the
state, a problem In education not to be
solved in a day.

The Coal Black steed..

Two glossy steeds for winters needs
Are mine to use at will.
Though hills are steep and drifts ar,
deep,
They bear me forward still.
ION. Left" 1 cry. "'The goal is nigh.
Brave Right. a few steps more!"
Until at last, all troubles past.
We reach the schoolhouse door.
At my command my good steeds stand
Quite noiseless in the hall.
No need to. tie-when I'm not by
They never move at all.
When school is out a merry rout
The laughing children run;
The snowballs fly; my steeds and I
Are foremost in the fun.
I envy not the drivers lot
When jingling sleighs dash by.
I need no reins, I fear no trains;
My horses never shy.
They never balk. but trot or walk
At any pac that suits.
Whoever will may ride with skill
A pair of rubber boots!

Mohammed and the Mountain.

At II time, so reads the legend, the
Arabs demanded of their new prophet
q supernatural proof of his divine COM
m~ission-that he should command ODE
dience from the forces Of nature, the
mountains or the sea. Thus constrained
Mohammed in a loud voice commanded
Mount Safa to come to him. When it
failed to stir at his word Mohammed
said: "God is merciful. Had it obeyed
my words it would have fallen upon
us to our great destruction. l will
therefore go to the mountain and
thank God that he has had mercy upon
a stiff necked people" By this clever
ruse the prophet evaded the supreme
test of his power and yet preserved
mistaken the faith of his followers

The importance of publicity may be
seen in recent local in the Post and
the effect of the same. We stated
that Ed. s. Hughes was to build ten
cottages at Cardiff. We knew at the
time it would probably be more, but
knowing Ed q characteristic modesty,
decided to make it as easy for him as
possible. 1t seems, however. that he
had made an agreement to build
twenty instead of ten and now he is
besieged with inquiries from people
all the way from Cardiff to Denver
who want to know if he doesn't in
tend to keep his word. Our ipquirers
need have no fear as to the outcome
as Ed Hughes always keeps his word.
But what we set out to make plain
was the fact that people do read the
Post-and believe 1t, too. even il we
do sometimes get our estimates too
low.
