Wanted to Help the Little Fellow.

Two men were engaged In saving
timber In the Maine woods. One was
a big. brawny and very fierce-looking
fellow, the other meek and inoffen-
sive little chap. They were using a
cross-cut saw. A big Irishman hap
pened along, and after standing there
few minutes watching them pull
back and forth, decided that the big
one was trying to take advantage of
the other. The Irishman reprimand-
ed the big fellow, which caused row.

Waste Of Wood In America.

Every person in the United States
is using over six times as much wood
as he would use If he were in Europe.
The country as whole consumes ev-
cry year between three and four times
as much wood as all the forests Of
the United States grow in the mean
time. The average acre of forest lays
up a store of only ten cubic feet an
nually, whereas it ought to be laying
mp at least 30 cubic feet in order to
furnish the products taken out of it,
Since 1880 more than 0o0.000,000
feet of timber have been cut for lum-
Der alone. including S0,000,000,000 feet
of coniferous timber in excess of the
total coniferous stumpage estimate of

Since 1895 the shifting in the d.

there were last year 3,543 married

The endeayors made during the
last several years to gain for wo-
men access to the higher vocations
have met with success. Since the
gymnasia (colleges) for girls have
been organized in Berlin, Leipzig,
Karlsruhe, Stuttgart. Konigsburg,
Hanover, etc. in which girls are
prepared for studies at the univer-
sites, the results have been up to
the expectations of the leaders of
this movement for higher education.
And since the opening of medical,
pharmaceutical and dental schools,
the professions are being rapidly fill
ed by women.
Germany is not strict about the
right to practice medicine; 1t may
be exercised without the appreciation
of the Government, but the adopt
ion of a degree or title not granted
by German universities is not allowed
