A pretty girl, with decided air Of
being aware of her charms, stood in
front of the lions cage out at the Zoo
Sunday afternoon, says the Washing
ton Post. Two young men were near
her, and her elaborate unconscious
ness of their presence betrayed the
fact that she knew they were looking
at her
Pretty, isn't she?" said one young
man in low voice.
She's beauty" said the other, en-
Enthusiastically. The pretty girls
cheeks turned trifle pinker, but she
went on talking elegantly to the elderly
man with her.
Beautiful head to draw comment
ed the first young man. Look at the
way she holds it."
"Uh, hum," assented the other; "that
shoulders beautiful"
The pretty girl turned pinker still,
and looked more pronouncedly uncon-
scious than ever.
Look at those MUSCLES said the
first young man. Look at the muscles
in that leg. You can fairly count 'em. y
And the pretty girl turned very red
indeed as it dawned upon her that the
two admiring young men were dis
cussing the lioness in the cage.

Forestry-Its Need In This Country.

American forestry has not yet gone
beyond the preservation of our old for
ests, for general reasons. Tree culture
for profit which forestry signifies in the
Old World, is here not thought of-nor
will it be while we have forests to burn.
In the Old World forestry is business.
The artificial, handmade forests of
France. and especially Germany, supply
most OF the timber used in those coun-
tries. England depends on outside
sources almost wholly for its timber.
England paid about $Io,ooo,ooo for for
eign timber last year. Her bill is an
nually growing larger. But it is slow
work to make a profit on timber plant
ing. Thirty-fve years is long to wait
