ADVICE TO THE CITY YOUNG MAN.


No young mar should marry until
his position In life is assured, and in
New York and other great c~enters. be-
fore a man is married he ought TO be
able TO provide handsomely for his wife
if he desires to be happy. Marriage IN
New York is a problem very different TO
marriage in n country village. In the
country simplicity IS the rule. Here In
the congested centers=eongested In
point Of wealth-eyidenccs Of extraya-
gance are all around us. Young wives
see nothing but wealth and Its display.

The unusually heavy losses resulting
from the forest fires in the Adirondack
region this year can hardly fail to re-
yiye PUBLIC interest In the necessity for
better forest control and a more gen
eral education OF the people in for
estry. As a result of he drought
which prevailed throughout April and
May thousands of acres of the best
OF the Adirondack reserves were burn
ed and many summer homes and re-
sorts were swept away. While the
lesson was a very costly one, running
up into the millions, the country doubt
less stood In need Of II. History shows
what is confirmed by science, that a
large area of forest land is essential
to civilization. A treeless country
means a barren country, and a barren
country never attracts a progressive
people. 1t is certain to be inhabited
by the vagrant and non-producing
classes. There must be forests and
patches of woodland to retain mois-
ture, to prevent droughts and to create
a soil for future agriculture. In Eu-
rope OF course, where the necessity
for forest preservation is more univer-
sally recognized, an effort Is made to
keep the proportion Of woodland at
about one-fourth Of the area Of the
country. which is regarded as the cor
rect proportion to sustain the activities
of civilization and the welfare OF the
people. Not only large forests, but
scattered woodlands must be presery-
ed. The latter not only tend to check
evaporation and hold bodies of mois-
and small rivers, to be fed
slowly to the surrounding country, but
they break the force of the wind, de-
creaslng the probability OF hurricanes
and cyclones. The West has suffered
much more thar the East from forest
fires, for the reason that the Western
are made up largely of resinous
The West therefore should CO.
operate with the East in bringing
about more adequate systems of for
est control. Forest fires will not walt
for special sessions of State Legisla-
lures. The force OF forest wardens
In the timber States should be greatly
increased. There should be State and
Federal cooperation In the establish
Of forestry schools all over the
country, such as exist in Austria, Eng
land, France, Italy, China and Japan.
This will cost the States a larger out
for forest preservation, but 1t
would be trlhlng compared to the mil
lions that have recently been swept
away in the Adirondack region.
