GETTING CLOSE TO NATURE
As One Who Understands It, John
Burroughs Writes Of tho Beauty
Of the Country.

To take the birds out OF my life
were the looping off so many branches
from the tree; there is that less sur
face Of LEAKAGE to absorb the sunlight
and bring my spirits in contact with
the vital currents. We cannot pursue
any natural study with love and en-
thusiasm without the object OF It be-
coming part of our lives. The birds,
the flowers, the trees, the rocks, all
become linked with our lives and hold
the key to our thoughts and emotions
| certainly have found good in ev-
erything"-in all natural processes
and products-not the good" Of the
Sunday school books, but the good of
natural law and order, the goSd of
that system of things out of which we
came and which Is the source OF our
health and strength. 1t is good that
fire should burn, even IL 1t consumes
your house; 1t is good that force
should crush, even IL It crushes you;
It Is good that rain should fall, even
II II destroys your crops or floods
your land.
Plague and pestllence attest the con-
stancy Of natural law. They set us
to cleaning our relations to outward
nature. Only in live universe could
disease and death prevail. Death is
a phase of life, redistributlng OF the
type. Decay is another kind of growth.
The show and splendor OF great
houses. elaborate furnishings, stately
halls, oppress me. Impose upon me.
They fix the attention upon false val
ues, they set up a false standard of
beauty; they stand between me and
the real feeders of character and
thought. A man needs a good roof
over his head winter and summer, and
good chimney and big woodpiie In
winter The more open his four walls
are the more fresh air he will get, and
the longer he will live.--John Bur-

The big automobile was speeding

chauffeur slackened speed, hating to
hurt the little creature, and then the
rabbit hoped back into the center Of
the road again. gave one look into the
binding glare of the lamps and start

Straight down the center of the
smooth, white highway he shot on
ahead of the car, and the chauffeur
speeded up a bit Just to see how fast
the race was going to be, but he could
not catch the rabbit, not by ten feet.
That little critters feet went so fast

and just a speck where the lcng ears

Woodchuck's Name.

One of the most noticeable traits OF
woodehucks Is the throwing up of
large piles OF dirt in front of their
burrows. 1t is from this practice that
the woodchuck got his name In olden
times-probably In the time OF Aesop
the lower animals used TO live in
one happy country with Judge over
them, the dog. One day rabbit
whose burrow adjolned that Of mar.
mot complained to the latter that the
rabbits eyes were continually filed
with the dirt which he threw out of
his burrow The marmot paid no
heed TO this remonstranee, and the
rabbit was compelled to appeal to
the Judge. His honor Immediately
sent word to the offender that greater
care must be taken In the future. But
the insolent marmot. notorious for his
incivIlity and Indifference. replied to
the messenger that he would chuck"
his dirt Just where he pleased.
That settled 1t. The dog has been
hunting for the gross offender ever
since, and the name '-woodchuck" has
stuck to the whole tribe OF marmots.

TRUE COURTESY IN GERMANY
Little incident That Caused English

Of Young officer.

The German has not only been
taught the other courtesies, but he has
been born with a kindness OF heart

ers which make his formalities of real
value. The man who appears to have

This old work, very high authority

EnameIlna.

The process known as enameling is
not OF modern origin. On the con-
trary, 1t goes back to venerable an
tiqui:y. If you will read up on the
subject you will learn that excellent
enamel is still preserved on some of
the bricks that have been found
among the ruins Of old Babylonia and
Assyria, which have been placed back
as far as the seventh or eighth CEN
tury B. C. Beautiful glazes were
made by the Egyptians as early as the
sixth dynasty. The Greeks and Ro-
mans were acquainted with the art OF
enameling. as the museums Of the
world clearly show. n would pay you
70 visit such institutions in our own
city.
