A The Ambitious Period na Young Qirfs Life HERE are few young girls who at a certain period of their lives do not have ambitions to become great and famous. The influence of ‘the school, of associates or perhaps the example of some favorite heroine, or even a person in real life—any one or all of these influences are sufficient to awaken a kindred enthusiasm in the heart of an imaginative girl, says the Philadelphia Ledger. This ie the time that must be carefully prepared for by the mother. If sha has the complete confidence of her daughter and understands the workings of her mind there is nothing to fear, for the mother realizes and can there- fore appreciate the awakening impulses of lead them into the right directions. budding womanhood and can This ambitious period generally comes during the last years of school life, before a girl has actually entered the world, when her heart is un- touched save by her love for the home circle and a few intimate friends. Then is the time to discover her natural bent. She must have some study in which she excels, or perhaps her tastes are artistic or domestic. If she is of romantic temperament she will probably wish to go on the stage or to be a concert singer. Or it may be her thoughts lie In a college course. It then remains for the mother to use her influence, not by direct thwart- ing. If it is necessary to check a girl's course it is better to influence them gradually than to give a direct refusal, as the latter breeds discontent. It is better even for a girl to make a trial of her ambitious desires if possible and learn for herself the accompanying disillusionments and trials. But if the girl has the appearance of genius do not spoil her with flattery. Show her that it is not in the quantity of talent or influence, but in the faith- fulappropriation of each that merit consists; but that the moment she be- comes satisfied in using either for mere personal advantage she has taken a step toward becoming weak. Teach her that a woman's lot in life is, indeed, an important one. Do not let her regret that she is a woman. There are many new spheres now open to woman if she chooses to make a career, and, besides this, if she cannot make a name for herself let her realizc the fact that a woman is the instiga- tor, the most powerful influence on man. Nearly every dlsun:ulsheg man acknowledges that his deepest obligations are due to a wife, a mother or a sister who has aroused, encouraged or assisted him in his lifework. Look, for instance, at all the great masterr in nearly every case a woman was the at heroic deeds and noble gacrifices; incentive. s in poetry and literature, If a girl's ambitions trend toward a scientific education, by,all means en= courage her and discover whether she really is consclentious and thorough in her pursuits. A man's chief argument against the higher education of wom- en is that a woman is apt to dabble In such matters, but rarely gives any study a thorough investigation; that, in fact, a woman's know!edge is gener- ally superficial. "~ \ith the Story Teller NEED:ZD AN FXAMINATION. Representative Bourke Cockran was seated- in his law office one day re- cently when one of the clerks an- nounced a visitor. The orator was very busy, but the man refused to tel! his business to a clerk, insisting that it was a personal matter and he must see Mr. Cockran himself. “Well, show him in,” said the law- yer finally in disgust. “I want to get some legal advice, Mr. Cockran,” said the visitor, “and I came to you because I am a poor man and cannot afford to pay a real lawyer.” “What do you mean?” thundered the Representative indignantly. “Well, I mean that as a politician vou will not be Hard on one of your constituents. Besides, I have another claim on you.

Editor The Call--In your issue of August 31 you published a letter from H. J. Ostrander of Merced, comment- ing on the work of the United States | Bureau of Forestry in this State, and cffering suggestions for the prevention { of farest flres. While Mr. COstrander is in a large measure correct in saying that with the prevention of forest fires the whole ! problem of forestry will be selved, he some of the most vital points in this connection and made suggestions which, if fellowed, would resuit in the ultimate destruction of has missed | the forest as a productive commercial factor. The system of fire protection which he recommends is to follow the old In- dian practice and burn over the floor | of the forest each year. Some of the results of such a system would be as follows: All young growth up to the diameter of two inches would be seri- ously injured or killed and all possi- bility of a future forest destroyed; the mature trees would be injured through burning out at the bases, the repeated | fires burning off a percentage of them { each year and gradually reducing the | density of the original stand; undesir- | able brush would usurp open spots, | through its tendency to sprout after | fire, while coniferous young growth is killed outright; while by the burning |of the humus and vegetable ground cover and exposure of the mineral soil the water conserving power of the for- | est would be in a great measure lost and the soil impoverished. Such burning, besides being injurious, is furthermore unnecessary, because twigs, needles, etc., reach only a certain depth, the be'ance being maintained by the de- composition underneath. Systematic burning of the slash left after lumbering is most decidedly ad- vantageous and practical experiments are under way to show lumbermen that it can be done economically, but firing of the uncut ‘forest, or after the slash clearing fire, should never be thought of. While the worship of the Sierra for- ests is all well encugh, they are of far too gfeat commercial value to serve no other ends and should, as President | Roosevelt so wisely said, be perpetuated What the State wants is not forests which are “beautiful parks,” but productive stands of tim- ber trees and it is essential In such a forest that the despised undergrowth exist, for therein lies the potential for- est—the young trees of future timber value. What is needed instead of a return to primitive Indian methods is a more rational public sentiment regarding forest values and uses. Our dear friends, the intelligent public, gb into the forests annuailly by thousa and with their campfires, cigarette stumps and matches do everything in their power to destroy ome of the State's assets. They know better “by wise use.” should they not use a little care white in the forests? The State is to have new fire laws but its success depends on revision of pub- lic sentiment toward this greatest of forest evils. E. A. STERLING. San Francisco, August 31, 1904 STMPATHY.
