Minnesota Forest Regions.

The Big Woods of Minnesota are rightly named, for they cover 5,000 square miles, or 3,200,000 acres of surface. These woods contain only hardwood growths, inolnding white and black oak, maple, hickory, basswood, elm, cottonwood, tamarack, and enough other varities to make an aggregate of over thirty different kinds. The hardwood tract, extends in a belt across the middle of the State, and surrouding its northeastern corner is an immense pine region covering 21,000 square miles, Or 13,440,000 square acres. % The 1 only thing that has been taught successfully to women is to wear becomingly the fig-leaf they received from their first mother. Everything that is said and repeated for the first eighteen or twenty years of a woman’s life is reduced to this“My daughter, take care of your fig-leaf;” “your fig-leaf becomes you“your fig-leaf does not become yon.*— Diderot Integrity is a virtue which seeks and needs no costnmer. ’ ;
