s. FIe,sbersm. or. How 10 Eat.

After many yeafs endeaNor, meeting with seohs and fidieule from physiol- ogi.is and other scientists, MT Horace Fletcher. the founder of "F "Flccherism, V has got hearing and an endorsement for his system of eating for health and strength from the highest physiologi- cal institutions of the world. Even the eminent men N ho seofied al his claims because of their simplicity, have been forced from the evidence, after severe long tried tests, to publicly announce their confidence in Mir. Fletcher $ dis coVers And today there are millions of people here and in Europe who have adopted his system of eating food, and are ready to testify that they have de ing his directions. He sums them up as follows: "All there is 10 my diseov- ery and to the fundamental requisite of what are called FletcheriSn, aFe,

 Fourth, Enjoy the good taste for all IL is worth, and to nos allow any sie- pressing ot diverting feeling to mtrude upon the ceremony.
 Fifth, N att, take sad enjoy as much as possihle Nature will dc the rest"
 Mr. Fletcher is now sixty years old, bright, elastic, with tests of physical strength that shows 1t to be above the average athletes.

and the result WAS that a large rug was completely spoiled. The day of their arrival they could scarcely eat in their astonishment at the table customs Of Uni. strange American family. They wondered why on earth one man disi- ded the food and gave . portion to the otherr. Why did he not put it in the middle of the table and let each take what he wan,eda Was he afraid they would quarrel overit? And why did theyuse a W hite cloth and "table hand kerchiefs?n To these young observers il seemed foolish To have so many dish es. knives, forks and spoons when two chopsticks and bowl would bc more convenient. Then IL must he a lot of bother To put so many things on the ta- bic three times day, and what was 1t all for any way? Such were some of the questions that arose in the minds of these bright boys. But few weeks residence in Christian home opened their eyes to the value of many things that at first seemed useless and myste- rious.

lrishmen who Signed the Deelsrs.io, ..
 Independence.
THOMAS MckEAN.
 Fifth Article.l

William Mckean, the father of Tba- mas Mekean, of Delaware, emierstes from Ireland in the beginning of fha 18th century, and settled in ebes,sr county, Pa, where the signer WAS ho,. on March 18th, 1734.
 Thomas Mckenna became Iawr.. and for many years followed that n.a. fession in his native place. h I,s9 ha was elected member of the Delawa,a Assembly, from New Castle county and continued in that station for ejs, en successive years. So much attached to him were the people of that copn,v that they continued to elect him fofx,r successive years after his removal. al. though he necessarily declined the ho- nor of serving. He was claimed hv Delaware and Pennsylvania as faxor. ite son of each. In 17b5 he was a mem. Der from Delaware in the Congress of New York. He was next appointed Judge Of the Court Of Common Peas
 IIt=Nf q. tfNiitHSf UI he Continental Congress of l776 that con- vened al Philadelphia. From tha. time to the Peace of 1913, he was member of Congress, and the only one that served the whole time. He was sa strong advocate Of the Declaration of independence, and most willingly aE- fixed his signature to that instrument. When it came up for final action, So anxious was he that it should pass unanimously, that he sent an express after Cesar Rodney, one of his two colleagues-the other showing all un- willingness to take the decisive step at that time. MT. Rodney arrived on the Fourth of July, just in time to givehIs vote in favor,of that immortal measure. and thus secured it's unanimous adop. tion.
 So devoted was Mckean to the cause that he so nobly espoused that he ae- cepted Colonel's commission and was appointed to the command of regi- ment raised in Philadelphiaan and march cd to the support of Washington.
 On July 10th, 17sl, McKean was elee- ted President of Congress; and on the surrender of Cornwallis, Washington dispatched courier to carry the news to him. He was in bed when the mes senger arrived, but at once arose, aad presently the glad tidings were made known throughout the city, the watch man, in proelaiming the hour, added: "And Gornwallis is taken"
 After the independence of our coun- try was firmly established and the last red-coat had left our shores, Mekean retired from pubic life and took uphis residence in Philadelphia, where he died on June A, 1877.

Suggestions from Farmers.

The farmers of the United States are naturally very much interested Tn the census of agriculture and farm, that will be taken April 15, 1910, as one d the subjects to be covered by the ihi'- teenth Decennial Census. Many ae showing their interest by writing lo the Census Bureau for the purpose making comments upon census inloP nation regarding agriculture as pc sented in the past. The Director ol lae Census welcomes all such suggestions and gives them careful considerallon, as he is anxious to have the results the coming census correspond as near ly as may be the desires of the peoPf most interested.
 In addition to studying carefua! these suggestions, the Director has his own initiative, requested cei1aa professors of economics and agricuilaF of the more important universitiesa the country, and other persons Sls have specialized in agricultural mar ters, to come 10 Washington for sho'' time for the purpose of studying ear fully and criticising plans now nlR' way.

Beginning of Forestry in inc United States

Beginning of Forestry in inc uniied sta,es
 When did the United States begin the practice of forestry Few persons can answer this question correctly. Most people Are of the opinion that the beginning of forestry in this country WAS of very recent origin, and that the first step in that direction VAS taken among the mountains of the lar N est Neither statement k correct.
 While Washington was serving his first term as President oi the United States, . recommendation came to him that the government ought to buy iiNe oak islands on the coast of Georgia to make sure of supply Of ship timber for war vessels. The idea appears to have originated with Joshua Hnmph- pheys. whose official title was II Con strnetor of the United States Navy, although about the only navy then ex' isling was made up of six ships on pa per, and not one stick of timber to build them had yet been cut. The vessels were designed to fight the north Afh- can pirates.
 Five years after the recommendation was made Congress appropriated mo ney 10 buy live oak land. Grover and Blackboard islands, on the coast ct Georgia were bought for s22 ,aAs. They contained 9o0 acres.
 Louisiana was bought soon after, and in lsls the Six Islands, ot i9,ssn acres, and containing sl,uoo live oak trees, were withdrawn rom sale and set apart as q reserve. ln is2a. Congiess appfo- pftated Si0, ,tN0 to buy additional hNe oak land on santa Rosa sound, western Florida, aud subsequently, other flon' da timber lands, aggregating {ess--i acres were reserved.
 Up to that time nothing more had been done than to buy or reserve land for the timber growing naturally upon it: but the work was to he carried tur- ther upon the Santa Rosa purchase. The plan included planting, protect ing, enllivating, and cutting Ike eak for the navy. The timber was then considered indispensable in building war vessels. Much had been ssid and written of the danger ei the exhaustion of supply, settlers destroyed the tim Der to clear land, and European nations were buying large quantities for their navies. In response to repeated warn, ings the government finally took steps to grow timber for its own use.
 Young oaks were planted on the san Ia Rosa lands. Difficulty was eNpe. rienced in inducing young trees lo grow. The successful transplanting Of the oak k not easy, unless done at the proper lime and Tn the right WAY, The plantations at santa Rosa ~ere geneF- ally unsuccessful; but large quantities of aeofns were planted, and a fair pro portion of them grew. Hut the chief efforts were directed to pruning, train ing and caring for the wild trees, Thick cts about them were ent away to leI in air and light.
 What the ultimate success of the for esiry work would have been cannot he told. The civil war brought a complete change in WAT vessels by substituting iron for wood, Forestry work stopped, The timber reserves were neglected, SqnatseFs occupied the land Alter number os yearsi all the reserves, eN- cepG some of the Honda lands, were onenea lo sestiement
