NEED LESSONS IN MANNERS.
Being II Democracy Is No Excuse for
Our National Lack of Politcncss.

Conventions are often the arbitrary
creations OF social classes, but man
ncts are the Towering Of the fine
character, wide contact with men and
women, the enrichment of individuals
by assimilation of the best that men
have achieved. IT is "A wholly false
idea of democracy which breeds sus-
plcion Of manner and Identifies indie
pendance with rudencss and crudity.
The man who prides himself on his
plainness and bluntness as the signs
of the honesty and sincerity of his
nature is, general speaking, the man
who lacks consideration for others,
and who has become the victim of Il
rcpellent form Of egotism.
Honesty and bad manners have no
real kiuship. II Is a curious fact that
the peoples which are defective in
politeness. like the Americans, the
English and the Germans, suspect the
sincerity of the polite races, like the
Latins and the oricntals. rhcy tail to
take into account the ripeuing power
There are very few subjects which
can be so effectively taught as the
practice Of good manners and they
ought TO be taught, as the use of Eng
lish ought TO he taught, not as mat
ter of book instruction. but as a part
Of every schol exercise.
Not only are good manners not un-
democratic. they are more essential In
democracy than in any other form
of society: for. instead OF being mere
social conventions. they are the ex-
preston of respect for the dignity
and integrity of others, and that is
the very soul of the democratic order.
In society in which every man and
woman is free 10 think. TO speak and

Some sponges are like round cups.
Some are like branches of trees. 9th

from orange to a dingy brown. When
they are on the floor of the ocean with

You know how full Of holes all

a fresh supply of water, full of living

I went to Sunday school every Sun
day last year. One man gave me a

teacher gave me embroidered

gave me a bottle of toilet water.

ars in the country. He also told a

ordered the coachman to go in and get
her an umbrella
He knocked at the door and an old
woman peered out of a crack
What do you want?" asked the
woman in a cross voice.
IAN umbrella" said the coachman.
The old woman shut the door in the
coachman's face. She went up to the
attic and found an umbrella She gave
| it to the coachman. When he opened
| it it broke.
The next day the coachman returned
with a new umbrella. He told the
woman that the queen had sent her {

of Nassau made in 1902 shows this tree
much as 1t appears today.
Because the coral formation OF the
island bears little soil, it has been
difficult for the roots to penetrate far
below the surface. AS they could not
grow down. they have grown up, and
so have developed into immense but
tresses which radiate 55 feet from the
center, while the branches OF the tree
have a spread Of over 100 feet.
The travellers tree, the leaves of which
resemble those of the banana tree grows
throughout the West Indies. It is
sometimes termed the fan-tree because
its leaves spread like a fan. 1t is
called the travellers tree because the
wayfarer has only to pierce the stem
of a leaf and pure cold water spurts
out.
A rubber tree was reported last year
as having been found in Bolivia
veritable monarch of its kind. II
measures 81 feet around its base and
yields more than 20 pounds of rubber
every day for 120 days of the year.
AT the present price of rubber the
tree is worth about 100000, and the
income derived from it supports an
entire family in comfort.

Seeds.


Pretty soon it will be spring and we
shall have to plant our seeds and
plants.
When u seed has been sown, receives
enough heat, light and moisture, it
swells a little, and the germ, waking
from it's sleep, sends out a little shoot
which, growing downward, forms a
root; another little shoot forces it's
way upward to unfold into the stem
ton the seed is planted, the shoot al
ways goes up.
The dark, damp soil is the working
place of the root, while the stem car
ries the leaves into the light and air.
whence they have their part to do in
the growth of the plant.
At first the young plant must be
nourished by the seed, and on it the
germ plant feeds and grows. The sim
pie means provided for scattering seed
over the earth and thus preventing the
destruction of various kinds of plants
is very interesting. Many seeds are
carried by the wind to places far dis
tant from those in which they are pro-
duced.
Some seeds are conveyed by streams
into which they fall and take root
when left by the current on proper
soil. Some seeds have a shelly or an
oily covering that resists the action of
means that the coral islands of the
Pacific are covered with an abundant
growth of vegetation.
Squirrels, field mice and many other
animals bury seeds in the ground, prob
| ably for the purpose of afterward feed
| ing on them. and thus lead to growth
| of plants and trees in places where seed
would not otherwise, reach.
