Plant q Tree.

Many years ago 1t was a custom
when a child was born to commemo-
rate the event by planting a tree. To-
day there are many trees sacredly
guarded because they were planted by
or for some one whose memory It was
desired to perpetuate. Every reader
of this article no doubt recalls one or
more trees with which are associated
pleasant recollections. 1t may be the
one In the yard under which you
were accustomed to play. It may be
the one that sheltered you when over
taken by q storm on your way to and
from school, II may be the one on the
river bank under which you sat with
fishing pole in hand. It may be the
one under which you and your lover
exchanged vows. or It may be made
dear to you by any one Of the many
incidents Of life. When your child IL
grown. give It an opportunity to pos
sess a living tree which It can call it's
own. Mary's and Johns trees will
always be cared for with tender hands.
and when their namesake has forsa-
ken the old homestead there will al
ways be q yearning to see my tree"
again.

What Fllipinos fhlnk Of Americans.
The yilipin6s believe. or pretend to
believe. that they are already ft for
self-government. They regard Ameri.
can administration with a certain su-
perciliousness and think they could
manage things better themselves. The
Americans are paying the price-the
inevitable price-of doing their duty
In educating the natives. We of course
are going through the same expert
ence in India. Except in Manila. all
the municipal councils are in the
hands Of the nativer But although
In the legislature and judiciary and in
the public departments there are
mapy native officials. the scheme Of
government is so arranged that tho
natives have the semblance rather
than the reality Of power. Probably
one reason why the Americans do not
command as much respect az they
deserve is that the ne ves. born to
Spanish ceremonial and Spanish elab-
orateness OF manner. have a preju-
dice against the great simplicity and
directness Of democratic habits. DensS4
cracy has in fact violated something
very like caste. But though sround
has been lost by the Americans. IL Is
now being appreciably regained.-Lon.

Canon Rawnsley was reading In
psalm in which occur the words. "Oh.
all ye fowls of the air. praise him and
magnify him forever''-when he
stopped as II the words were mock
cry. He surveyed the befeathered
women before him, saw in his imagi-
nation the weltering bodies of thou
sands of plumed birds and heard the
cries OF thousands OF starved young
ones. 1T is travesty on religion and
a mockery for women decked with
aigrets to sing these words in the ben
edicite." he said, and he closed the
book.
We are getting conscience with
regard to animals. The very matter
of butchering them for food is being
taken up by learned and humane So
cieties. The matter of the execution
of criminals never took up half the
thought that the matter of the execu-
ton of animals is receiving. We are

fNaPoIeoN DICTATED
Words Game Fast and He Remem-

Awfanuenslts<ss

Bonaparte dictated Win ,wreat ease.
He never wrote anythln0 with his own
hand. His handwriting was bad and
as illegible to himself as touothers, and
his spelling was very defective. He ut
terly lacked patience to do anything
whatever with his own hands. The ex.
treme activity Of his mind and the
habitual prompt obedience rendered to
him prevented him from practicing any
occupation in which the mind must
necessarily wait for the action ofcthe
body. Those who wrote from his die,
tation-frst Mons. Bourrienne, then
Mons. Maratssand Meneval. his spri-
vate secretary-had made short
hand for themselves, in order that
their pens might travel as fast as his
thoughts.
He dictated while walking to and
fro in his cabinet. When he grew.
angry he would use violent impreca-'
tions. which were suppressed in writ
ing. and which had, at least, the ad-
vantage of giving the writer time to
catch up with him. He never repeat
ed anything he had once said, even If

very bad on the poor secretary. for
Bonaparte remembered accurately
what he had said and detected every
omission.
One day he read a tragedy in manu-
script and 1t interested him sufficient
ly to inspire him with a fancy to
make some alterations in 1t. Take
pen and paper" said he to Mons. de
Remusat. "and write for me-" Hardly
giving my husband time to seat him
self at a table, he began to dictate SO
quickly that Mons. de Remusat. al
though accustomed to write with great
rapidity. was bathed with perspira-
tion while trying to follow him. Bona
parte perceived his difficulty and would
stop now and then to say: Come.
try to understand me. for will not re-
peat what say.
Fortunately he forgot to ask for
the sheet of observation he had die
tated. Mons. de Remusat and have
often tried to read it since, but we
have never been able to make out a,
word Of it.-Memoirs of Nine. de Re-
