0ld.fashioned Training
Its Strong and Weak Points.

The strong point of the old.fashioned
training was the stress laid upon moral
ity and virtue. VIE good and you'll
be happy" was the common precept set
before the growing child. But as the
girl grew up to maidenhood she was
often sorely puzzled to reconcile those
past teachings with her present condi-
ton. She was good. Her soul was

According to compilation
made by the Land Office of the
State of Washington, Is, 1859 square
miles in that State were original
ly covered with merchantable thu
ber-fir, cedar, hemlock and
spruce, says The New York Even
ing Post. Oue-ffth of this area
has been ravaged by fire, 22a per
cant has been cut, and the re-
mainder, or 9,O39 Milas. is covered
with standing timber. Upon this
timbered area there is estimated
to be standing lO3, 500, $500 feet,
board measure, which iu itself is
sufficient to supply the saw mills
of the United States for four years
under the present rate Of cutting.
By a comparative table the re-
port shows that with the single
exception of the redwood forests
of California, the forests Of Wash=
ington are the denssst, heaviest,
and most continuous in the United
States. With the exception Of a
few prairie openings and where
the timber has been removed by
fire or the axe, they cover the
country az a thick mantle from
high up on the Cascade range
