The University and Its Needs.

The large increase in the patron.
age Of the University, a gain Of 200
in two years, shows that our people
realize the importance Of higher
education and that we have in Tex.
as an institution capable of supply
ing their needs. The recent report
Of the Board Of Regnts to the legis.
lature makes an admirable pre-.
sentation Of the merits of the Uni.
yersity and forcibly states its need
OF additional equipments. Chief
among its needs is a building for
lady students. to secure a comfort
able, refined home for 1872 ladies
now enrolled as students; and for
others yet TO come. These young
ladies now have no accommoda-
tions on the campus, and they are
at disadvantages with the men
students. 4 woman's building will
reduce their expenses, will protect
their health and will afford facil.
tiles for instruction in art and
music, which is not given at pres.
ent. Texas should make adequate
provision for the education Of her
girls as well as her boys. An edu.
Gated woman means an educated
family.
The Regents also ask for an en-.
largement Of the present dormitory
for men to enable them to reduc,
the cost of living from SIS a month
to $40. By all means let this b,
done, for boys in humble circum
stances are the very ones who need
help to get educated at the Uniyer
sity. At present over half the stu.
dents there are self-supporting
and their numbers will be doubled

The Redwood Forest.

The redwood forest of califor-
ala is said to be the greatest
mass of natural timber in the
world.
Itruns in narrow strip along
The coast from the, Oregon line
nearly to San Francisco, cover
ing 2O00 square miles.
No other known wood fur
nishcs so many feet of cut lum-
Der to the acre. This is partly
because the trees are very large
partly because they crowd SO
closely to each other that no sun
light can penetrate ON their
branches.
A redwood forest is vast TEN
pie, whose foliage is it's roof,
whose solemn aisles are arched
by massive trunks.
The mills are cutting 250,000,-
eco feet of redwood lumber every
yeat At this rate the coast will
be swept of this noble forest in
zee years. In reality the destruc-
ton will be more rapid, as the cut
each year increases, and it would
take a thousand years for the
trees to grow again.
There is no waste by fire in a
redwood forest. The wood con-
tains no pitch, is very wet with
sap and will not burn standing,
while the deep shade and con-
slant rains keep the peat beneath
them always moist.

face and said to him:
"'When you have heen at my

me in this way"

abused me terribly. There seem
