Americans.

or many perpleXing characteristics
OF the American civilian no the
strangest is his adherence of color In
his dress. His raiment suggests
dreary, loaded skies, wild-grown
swamp land and smoke-choked lake
harbors. Let one appear upon the
street with a chameleon tie or a Gin
nabar.dyed waistcoat and the police
consider 1t just to "run him In" for
blocking trafic.
No man on earth Is more fanciful,
imaginative and inherently poetical
than the American. Yet It Is one Of
his stock jokes to point to the Eng.
lishman, who, though Sc matter-of-fact
and commonplace Of mind, drapes
himself in broad. vivid checks. The
Frenchman considers it no offense to
wear long, chisel-shaped pink shoes
and cravats like the pennant Of a
Yacht club. The Russian and Lapland
emigrants Offset a bearing OF hapless
melancholy and confusion with brave
red boots and prismatic mufflers. Even
the Scot, dwelling in a land of fog ano
rain, rounds off a sweep of scarlet
beard with a bonnet running the gam
ut Of the spectrum.
That the American has really in his
| ,eart an ambition for color Is appar
ent In the uniform he assumes upoI
occasions of secret society meetings
the encampments Of militia, and in his
good nature over the bills Of his wo
men folks. When proper excuse IL
given him he can riot in chromatici
that would dull the following Of the
ord of an Indian p~rincipality.

Protecting Trees From Rabbits.

IL you live where rabbits are bad,
get ready now to protect trees, for
when snow comes they are liable to
attack trees. They have plenty of
other green food that they can find
now, but when covered up with
snow, they are required to hunt
other things, and the young fruit
trees are the most tempting that
are above the snow.
Make a bucket of simple white
white wash, add about a cup Of
coal tar, and about the same Of
wood ashes, and paint the trees
with it, and not a rabbit will
bother while it is on the trees. 1t
will wash off and will have to be
renewed possiblyf but when you
apply it aim to give time for it to
dry for a time before it freezes,
and it will stay on better. Put on
at any time when needed with a
brush as you we're painting.
This is the simplest way | know
of to protect trees. 1t is sure and
| would not like to go back to the
old way of bothering with rags and
wrapping with paper. This takes
less time and costs practically
nothing. 1t has been my way for
years and will be until find a bet
