timber.
Bids for the timber will be re-
ceived up to the middle of June,
1914, and three years will be al
lowed for the building of the
railroad and mills and twenty
five years for the cutting of the
timber. The stumpage rates,
however, will be readjusted at
the end of each fve-year period
of the contract, the readjust-
ments being based on the then
current lumber prices.
By the end of the contract
period, the forest officers say,
the young trees left on the area
first cut over will be ready for
cutting, so that by the system of
numbering which the govern
ment will require operations can
continue permanently in this
lumber belt. The annual cut
will be not less than forty mil
lion feet, most of which will be
readily sold in the large consum-
ing markets in Utah and Color
ado.

DOMESTIC SCIENCE GIRLS.

The interesting ln1OfmaClon
which comes from Kansas is that
of the 5000 girls graduated from
the domestic science departments
of the high schools of the state,
A, 400 have already married and
that not one of them has sought
a separation or been divorced.
1t is our opinion that the re-
naming $500 will be married as
soon as the fall blowing is over,
if there are $500 single men in
the state worth their salt or who
have sense enough to grease a
gimlet.
Just how the Kansas statistics
are obtained we do not know,
but we think it will be we'll
worth while for every state to
keep just such a record until
every girl in the country can as
certain just how much better it
is to be equipped for marriage
than to ig ore the arts that are
so necessary to the successful
conduct of home. We suppose
that it is a rare occurrence for
any domestic science wife to
seek separation or to play the
role of defendant.
A woman who knows how to
make a home and to conduct one
as it ought to be conducted is
far less liable to have difficulty
with an obstreperous spouse than
the ornamental wife. Even a
man who has a tendency to be
bad will soon get next to the
fact that a wife who knows how
to make a home is a person
whose good will he can not af-
ford to forfeit, and even if he is
lazy or afflicted with the hook
worm, he will have sense enough
to see that he would be a fool
not to hustle and keep the pan
try supplied and fuel in the
wood box, when there is a wife
on hand who wants to make mat
ters pleasant for him.
The girl who neglects an op-
portunity to take the domestic
science course makes the mis-
take of her life. 1t makes no
difference if she is worth a mil
lion dollars in her own right,
she ought to be a mistress of
domestic science, because the
holding of a degree like that is
fundamental when she comes to
consider her success as a wife, as
general manager of a home and
the head of a personally conduct
ed nursery.
Much of the high cost of living
of which there is such general
complaint, is due to the waste
that comes of women who have
married when they were in no
sense equipped for the duties
which home, the most important
institution of our civilization, i'm
posed upon them. And worse
than the high cost of living is
the wretched story of thousands
of lives wrecked because of the

Burmans and Tigers.

Sir HI. Thirkell White in his book.
"a Civil Servant In Burma tells the
following true tiger stories to illustrate
the bravery of the Burman:
zone day a tiger came upon two lit
tie girls in the jungle, seized the
younger and was trotting off with her.
The elder sister, girl of about twelve,
took off her tamein skirt and tapped
the tiger about the face till the aston
ished beast dropped the child and fed.
The truth of this story is proved by
the fact that the government gave the
girl silk tamein in recognition of her
courage and presence of mind. Anoth-
er time, quite recently, woodman
was seized by tiger. He cut at him
with his da (knife) till the tiger drop
ped him and retreated. The man, en-
ragged at being attacked, followed and
slashed him again, his only weapon be-
ing long wood cutting knife"

In England they call derby" a

that last difference.

supped at a dance in New York at a
small table seating four. At the sup
per's end one of the two girls at this
table rose and began to converse with
friend a few yards away. Just then
a servant removed Lord Lacland's
"bombe Richelieu'' before he had fin
ished it, and the young man cried
loud voice:

The young lady who had risen from
his table blushed, and, frowning at
him coldly, she said:

of sharing the spoils of the chase.
They call it stocking the meat'-a use
of the word stoke that l have never
heard elsewhere The hide is sold
and the proceeds divided equally
among hunters, but the meat is cut up
into as many pieces as there are part

indoors or behind a tree, and some
body at the carcass calls out, Whose
piece is this?'
Granville Calhoun's,' cries the hid

"'Bill Cope's.'
"And so on down the line. Every

for him, and there can be no charges
of unfairness."

SiIkworrn Fish Lines.

China produces quantities of the glu-
tinous thread generally known as silk
fishing line or silkwOrm gut. The SO
called silk fish line or silkworm gut is
usually prepared from silkworms in
the caterpillar state. When the worms
are about to spin their cocoons they
are killed by lightly pulling them SO
as to break their skins, after which
they are immersed in vinegar for
considerable period. Then they are
pulled apart in a way to draw out a
long. glutinous thread formed by the
silky secretion of the worm. ThlS
thread is then stretched on a board or
otherwise and dried in the sun. In
the West river district about Wuchau,
whence most of the HOngkOng exports
come, the silkworm is usually spe-
cial wild green variety about three
inches long and is fed on leaves OF the
camphor tree. The threads vary In
length from three to six feet.

Suffrage Column.

Equal suffrage in Denmark is
assured by an agreement enter
ed iuto by the Moderate, Radical,
and Socialastic parties, which
control majorities in both houses
of Parliament.
A woman suffrage bill has
been introduced in the Porto
Rican Legislature, which pro-
poses to give women the vote, the
right to hold office. and sit on
juries.
Finland gave full suffrage TO
all it's women in 1906.
Norway gave full suffrage to
the majority of it's women in
1907, and extended it to all the
women in 1913.
Iceland gave a limited number
of it's women full suffrage in 1913.
New Zealand gave full sugrage
in 1898, South Australia in 1895,
West Australia in 1900. New
South Wales in 1902, Tasmania
in 1908, Queensland in 1905,

was taken while practically the
whole house joined in uprorious
and contemptuous ridicule-of
the measure. 1t is difficult to
refrain from criticism of such
conduct. The action of the
United States senate, in which
many Of the ablest senators in
the union spoke in favor of equal
suffrage, should be an adequate
rebuke. In the debate on the
measure, Mr.. Shafroth of Col,
orado said in part;-'sIf IN the
confederation of women suffrage
the States will accept for their
guidance the principles for
which our forefathers fought,
then it's determination will be
reached in equity and justice. f"
Mr.. Thompson of Kansas, said;
"No sooner had suffrage been
adopted in Kansas, than reforms
began to come. In one month
the age Of consent had been
raised from the age of ten to
eighteen years. The liquor law
was better enforced. None of
the objections ever materialized.
The general average of women
votes grows larger every year. :"
Both Mr.. Thompson and Mr..
Shafroth said that few chad

"One of the strongest reasons
in favor of woman suffrage,
