OUR FORESTS.

The chief enemy of the forest is not
the gypsy moth or any other insect,
but the AK and the fire Of man. The
moth, like most insects has a para
site which may be used to keep it in
order, but man has nothing except
himself to minimize his depredations.
The saddest feature Of forest destruc-
ton in the United States is that most
Of 1t represents absolute loss and is
due to fires, says the Boston Globe.
During the last five years 100000
acres Of wild land, which means about
four acres to each family, has been
burned over, and all the young growth,
seedlings and saplings have persisted.
Sparks from locomotives, Goals left
smouldering by campers, cigarettes
dropped carelessly, have kept the con-
dagration constant. Unless there is
change and forests are conserved in
stead Of destroyed, America will be as
bald as Europe or the Near East,
where a bundle Of twigs is a treasure.
We cannot save our Cultivation unless
We save our forests.

THE RIGHT TINE

.TX7HEN walking with a woman it is
W. customary for the man. to ask
to carry any parcels she may: be bur-
dened with. It is a woman's privilege
to Insist on carrying them herself, but
remember that it is very embarrassing
for a man to walk with a woman who
Is burdened as, besides feeling regret
that he cannot aid her, he is put in a
false position by those whom he may
meet.
Every well-bred woman should know
that it. is no longer considered the
right thing for man to take her arm
in walking unless she is feeble or the
way hazardous. If she happens to be
accompanied by a man who Is not
aware of this fact she should not take
ofense but if he takes her arm she
should ascribe it to his ignorance of
that rule Of good breeding and restrain
him by simply assuring him that she
can manage much better when unaid-
ed.
If woman is overtaken or over
takes man Of her acquaintance she
is privileged to ask him to accompany
her as far as their ways go together,
though needless to say she would say
this only to close acquaintance. She
should not do this, however, when he
is accompanied by another woman and
would not usually wish to when he
was accompanied by another man.
When taking pleasure walk togeth-
er it is always the woman's privilege
to set the pace and make suggestions
as to the direction in which the walk
should be taken.
If woman chances to see that a
stranger has dropped something, what
should she do? This is question that
sometimes comes up. She should not
stop to pick it up unless the man is de-
cidely older than she and she is very
young. She should courteously attract
his attention to the fact that he has
dropped the article and leave him to
pick it up for himself. However, If
she is walking behind the one who has
lost the article and not to pick it up fo1

The Moor In Spain.

The Moors sprang from Saracens,
that nomadic tribe Of Arabs, which in
the Eighth century overran southern
Spain. They settled under the genial
skies Of Andalusia and found their
surroundings so ideal they were con-
tented to leave the northern portion
Of the country to the natives. 1t was
CALLING to the Spaniard to behold his
beautiful valleys and vineyards in the
possession of the invaders and to see
the crescent take the place Of the
cross; but, although much blood was
shed in the interim, it was not until
the Fifteenth century that Boabdil, the
Moorish king, took his LAST look at
Granada on the spot that has been
practically named Eel Ultima Sospiro
del Moro" the last sigh Of the Moor.

modern art, there are records that

the heads from the standing grain.
The first real patent on reaping ma

England lin 1909. Richard French

and halts his progress there. It is
proper to say, ''The parade stopped at
the hotel" meaning that the parade
ceased its motion when it reached the
hotel. But the parade could not "stay"
at the hotel. A person makes 'stay"
at a hotel, not a stop, and he stays
there. One should not say, II stopped
at the summer resort six weeks" but
II stayed there six weeks"
The true meaning Of the word "stop''
was we'll understood by the man who
did not invite his professed friend to
visit him. He said: IF you come at
any time within ten miles of my house
just STOP" says one authority Of Eng
lish.
