In the Indian papoose child nature is essentially the same as in the Cau- casion babe, though there is a strik- ing contrast in their manners, due to maternal treatment, or as a student of child nature might say, to environ- ment. The chief differences, really, between the little Indian and the little white is that the former is less a ery- baby than the latter. The reason for this is that the white baby usually gets what he cries for if it be within moth- ers’ power .t pure it: learning. hig from experience, for every mother knows how wise and shrewd the baby is, whenever he feels that a certain ar- ticle ‘would conduce to his content- ment, he forthwith howls. Now, the papoose, so far from being encouraged in this vocal exercise, is repressed, His mother is unresponsive and the baby hot achieving what he weeps for, soon earns that tears and wails profit not, up on the branch of a tree or a sapling ull sun and wind have dried him.

It touches upon the interest in the subject of the scientists and the fumberman, of the geologist and the farmer, the meteorologist and the fruit grower, the business man and the engineer, and the steamship pilot and the homeseeker. The President transmits with his message a report of the Seeretary of Agriculture, pre- pared in collaboration with the De- partment of the fnterior, upon the forests, rivers and mountains of the Southern Appalachian region, and up- on its agricultural situation“as affect- ed by them, and says in part: The report of the Secretary pre- sents the final results of an investiga- tion authorized by the last Congress. Its conclusions point unmistakably, in the judgment of the Seer airy and in my own, to the creation of a national forest reserve in certain parts of the Southern States.
