Emotions.

Emotions are what you have when
you are all stirred up; for example.
when you are in love or when a note
which you had previously forgotten
suddenly falls due. Also, when YOU
think You are writing poetry and when
you are leading one who is practically

by previous arrangement and design,
you have stationed a gentleman with
power to cause you more future trou-
Bile than you have ever dreamed of.
Science tells us that something cannot
come out of nothing, yet emotions

RESERVED FOR ROYAL NAVY
Most Trees In American Colony Were
Claimed as Special Prerogative
Of the Crown.

In the Provincial Charter of 1891,
under which the Plymouth Colony and
the Province Of Maine were united
with Massachusetts,, it was provided
that all trees of the diameter of "a
inches and upward, IL inches from
the ground, growing upon land not
heretofore granted to any private per-
son. should be reserved to the crown
for the furnishing of masts for the
royal navy.
A surveyor-general Of woods was ap-
pointed to see that this provision Of
the charter was carried into effect.
Near the coast all white pines OF suit
able dimensions were marked with the
broad arrow"-three cuts through
the bark with an AK, like the track Of
a crow. This was the kings mark.
Long after the Revolution had OBJ
liberated the royal authority men who
had been taught in boyhood to respect
the kings mark hesitated to cut such
trees.
In telling a tree 1t was necessary
to bed 1t" to prevent its breaking.
This was done by cutting the small
growth and placing the small trees
across the hollow, so that there should
be no strain upon one section more
than upon another when the monster
pine struck the ground.
The mast was hauled out of the
woods on one strong sled, whether
in winter or summer, and so many
oxen were required that the hind pair
were often choked in crossing a hol-
low. being hung up in their yoke by
the pulling of those ahead of them.
A mast-hauling was a great event
and everybody within walking-d dis
lance came to see 1t.

Gracious Manners.

The charm OF gracious manners and
consideration fer other human beings
is a quality that develops rapidly if
given half chance. The woman who
is always Find creates an atmosphere
of loveliness that is like halo about
ner mead. If you are naturally shy
and reticent, it is all the more neces-
sary that you should endeavor to shine
a bit. 1t is not lack of pleasant
thoughts that worries the self-con-
scious, but the fear of giving express
sion to them. You must try to make
yourself companionable to others.
