The papers pre- sented inight be termed a series of novelettes, as they gave a number of the mythsand legends current among primitive people as well as inany curious facts and customs. | SOME BITS OF PLANT LORE. The first paper read was entitled “Some Bits of Plant Lore,” by Miss Fannie D. Bergen,read by President Macon. In this country, the writer said, plant lore was of a practical character, and some of the uses of planis for reme- ial purposes were enumerated. The curio: ected with plants both as ctire oF prevention of disease ation and other purposes were de- y interesting way bv the writer, v ry $ an invalid and who em- ploys Ler time in these researches.

The vigorons protests that came from them indicate that they have not yet been educated to the importance of the preservation of the forests, and until they were it would be a ditticnlt matter to enforce the laws. The report of tueexecutive comm.ttee, which was brought up for discussion at the afternoon Was accompanied by a draft of sugges- tions for a bill to establish an administration of forest reserves. ‘A PROPOSED UILL.
