OH BEAUTIFUL. MY COUNTRY

beautiful. my country ours once moreI
Smoothing thy gold OF war-dishereled hair
Ger such sweet brows as never other wore.
And letting thy set lips,
Freed from wrath's pale eclipse.
The rosy edges of their smile lay bare
What words divine of lover or of poet
Could tell our love and make thee know It,
Among the nations bright beyond comparef
What were onr lives without thee?
What all our lives to save theef
We reck not what we gave thee;
We will net dare to doubt thee,
But ask whatever else. and we will dare!

Do College Women Marry?
Some interesting light is thrown on

ence Monthly, by Frances w. Abbott,
who complies her statistics from the
first thirty classes graduated from

these classes there were 1902 women,
and, for convenience, they are divided
into three groups of ten classes each.
The first group embraces 323 of these.
graduates, the second 37S and the
third COL. The calculations are made
from the year 1900 as a basis. At
that time the average age of the
women in the first group was some
where between 46 and 54 years. Fifty
six per cent of the women in this
group had married. The average age
of the members of the second group
was between SO and 46 years, and SO
per cent had married, while in the
third group, the age of whose mem
bers averaged less than 80 years, %
per cent had married.

THE FIERY DRAGON.
Ancient and Medieval Descriptions
of the Monster.

Dragons We're important animals In
ancient and medieval Latural history
Until comparatively recent time no
scientist ever thought of questioning
the existence of this most formidable
of beasts, The annals of Winchester
for 11T1 giavely state that ''in this year
dragons were seen of many in Eng
land" Gesner, professor Of natural
history at Zurich. gives a detailed de-
scription of the dragon, while Aldro-
yandus, in his History of Serpents
and Dragons" published in 1910, de-
votes fifty pages to the monster. A
good specimen Of a dragon would seem
to have been beast about the size of
a sheep, incased in a coat Of scales
which shone like silver. Its back was
serrated like a saw 1t possessed
long tail, pair of batlike wings, four
heavily clawed feet and a wolvine head,
the jaws Of which were armed with
very formidable teeth. The tongue
was barbed with fire, and fury issued
from the monsters mouth, and the head
bore a crest. Dragons were the most
wicked and vindictive of creatures.
They seem always to have been in
towering rage and spent the greater
portion of their time in rushing up and
down the earth destroying everything
that came in their path. The origin Of
dragons was disputed point among
medieval naturaliSts. Some maintain
ed that these animals were generated
by the heat of India; others were of
opinion that the volcanoes of Ethiopia
used to belch forth the monsters. One
scientist, John Leo by name, declared
the dragon to be hybrid, a cross be-
tween an eagle and wolf.

Preserving southern Forests.

The forestry experts are beginning
TO discuss the question of preserving
the southern forests both from neglect
and from fires. They are beginning
none too soon. as the chief part of the
timber supply of the country. both pine
and hard wood. is now in the southern
states. The pine of the northwest has
been largely removed by fires and cut
ting. and what remains in Maine ami
other eastern states will be used up IN
paper making.
Few people have any idea of the eX.
tent OF the southern forests The hard
wood is found i'm the mountain districts
of the Nirgnias Carolinas. Georgia
Alabama Kentucky. Tennessee and
northern Mississippi and some in the
forests of Arkansas and northern Lou
isiana. The fine southern pine, which
is such favorite wood for building
and for interior finish, grows over n
belt following the coast line from Nir-
ginia to Texas. According to the New
Orleans Picuyune. this belt is 1000
miles long averages about 200 miles
wide and embraces an area of more
than 2JO.0O0O0O acres. 1t seems an
enormous area. but the yellow pine is
cut at the rate Of l0.0O0,000000 feet OF
lumber year. At this rate it will
take but few years to use up this
age. and unless some steps are taken

north and south is in sight.
Writing in the current number of
Forestry and Irrigation. Mr.. ii. c. Put
nam. Il civil engineer who has had long
experience in northern and southern
pineries. suggests two measures for
forest preservation. The first is TO
protect the small trees and the seed
lings after the large trees have been
cut. He says the southern pine lands
have marvellous capacity for reseed
ing themselves. even when they have
been cultivated. His second measure
is protection against fire, to which the
resinous southern pine is peculiarly
liable. Notwithstanding this the PEG
pie in the pine belt are as needless and
careless as are those in the northern
forests. and this. too. when these
states are worth more today. acre for
