The annual distribution of seeds by the Agricultural Hepartmeiit is practi cally completed. The amount distrib uted is 30 percent greater than last year. Each Congressman received .1,000 more hags of seeds than in any previous year. The appropriation for the present II seal year was $135,400. The Committee on Indian A Hairs has decided not to move the I'tes from the Colorado reservation. A sulmtitiite hill, which is a compromise, will be rcHrted to the House. It will not become a law until the Utes agree to its provisions. It will provide (or keeping them on the wettern end of the reservation, giving them one township in New .Mexico. They will lie given a quarter of the pres ent reservation Secretary Smith has transmitted to Congress an adverse report on tlie House bill providing for tlie restoration oi I, mil square miles of land in Yellowstone Na tional Park to the public domain. The Secretary says the segregation of the land is tlie result of olistructing the en forrement of regulations of the govern ment in the park, owing to squatting by poachers, traniiers and other undesirable characters. J he boundaries now fixed are satisfactory to the department. No good reason (or the promised change is known Senator Carey is encouraged over the prosiiects of the bill for cession of 1,000, 000 acres to each of the arid-land Stutes and Territories to lie improved by irri gal ion. The general expression of opin ion by members favors the hill. There is little doubt that it will be favorably reiiorted soon bv tlie Committee on Pub lic Lands. Mr. Carey Mieves the bill will receive the unanimous Indorsement of the committee. Senators Doliih and Vilas favor the bill, and suv it provides for an experiment in the right direction and may lead to a solution of the ques tion of what is to lie done to reclaim the arid lands. The Senate Committee on Public Lands has agreed to report favorably Senator Kyle's amendment to the sun dry civil appropriation hill, providing thai any honorably discharged soldier ol Hie late civil war and not now the ow ner of 100 acres of lund, and who bus not availed himself of the privileges under the lund laws of the United Slates, may acquire title to Ilk) acres of laud hy mak ing application therefor in person at any government land nllice and paying the m i ii i in it 1 1 1 price ol fl.'jit per acre.

The fort ideations bill, as it came back to the Senate Committee, had added to it increased appropriations to Iheainonnt of $820, 450. but not a cent for Puget Sound. While the British government, 10,000 miles away, sees the necessity of strongly fortifying the entrance to the Straits of Fiica, the Congress of the United States seems scarcely to know that there is such a place as Ksoiiimalt, or that every dollar exended there is a menace to Hie cities on aslnngton s nlaud sea. The total amount of the bill as now prepared is $3,054,104, which is over $800,000 more than was appro priated In the same bill last year. The principal amounts added to the House bill are $220,000 for equipment and work at the Watervliet factory and $275,000 for the purchase or manufacture of eight, ten and twelve-inch guns.

The res olution directs the Committee on Inter state and Foreign Commerce to inquire uy what law such acts bad been commit fed and whether the laws of the United Slates bad been violated. In his remarks on the resolution Orosvenor said this was the first time in the history of the government such a censorship of press dispatches had lieen established. The resolution was referred to the House Committee on Interstate and Foreign uoininerce, ol which M laeof Virginia is 1 hairiiiun. A bill introduced in the House by Wolverton of Pennsylvania abolishes the office of United States Circuit Court Commissioners, and repeals the law authorizing appointments thereto. The Attorney-General is authorized to divide the Mates and territories into as many Commissioner districts ub he may deem necessary and change the boundaries of such districts or create new districts when required. The President is nu thorized to appoint on the nomination of the Attorney-General a sufficient number of Commissioners in the dis tricts, to bold office for four years. The Commissioners are to have the same iu risdiction nowconierredon united mutes Circuit Court Commissioners, and will lie authorized to try with a jury of six ail ouenses punishable with line or tin prisonment and sentence the deiendant with the same effect as if the defendant had been convicted in the 1'nited States District Court, Three bills are now being considered looking to the collection of $100,000,000 indebtedness of the Uentral and Union Pacific Railroad Companies to the gov ernment.

A Jam That Might (live Our Own rUeer a Kaw I'ulutei, Among Dio Malays football lias been In exihtunco from time Immemorial, but It it with tlit-in essentially a game, s, for iimtuncd, buttlcdoor and shuttle cock Is with us, and It is not a contest. The fmitbuTi Is rather smaller than that used lit Eton and is inadu of wicker work. Those who Join In the game ar range themselves in wide circle ami kick tlie hall from one to another with the inside, or, at times, with the flat of the foot. The object of the players is to keep the bull passing aliout without Ita ever touching the ground or the. hand of any one. Oreat dexterity Is shown In this performance, and the bull Is usually kicked to very respectable height. There seems to be no penalty exacted fiom a player who may kick the ball badly or full to kick it at all. We had our own game of football, nd the Dutchmen, assisted by two members of our team, scored two goals to our four. During the gmne the na tives collected in still gleater numbers, and lit its termination they begged us to allow them to have a game among themselves. To this we assented, and two of us acted as captains of the sides, numbering about 80 players apiece, roost of whom stripped to the "sarong, ami wrapM)d It round their loins, leav ing the rest of their bodies bare. The ball was started, and then fol lowed one of the most extraordinary games of football that bos ever been seen. The game soon ceased to be a game at all and became verituble bat tle. A when a sort of lualy shepherds try Their force at loot ball, care of victory ' Makes lliein Millie to rudely, breast to breast, That their encounter teemed too rough for lent. Hands, arms and even teeth, were used on all sides, blood flowed freely, and scattered about the field were soon to be seen the Wounded, 1 might ulinost say, the sluin. As some fell exhausted to the ground they were removed, and their places In the fray were taken by others, who rushed forth eagerly from the crowd of spectators. Shouts of victory and groans of de feat rent the air, und at length things became so serious that the two captains were obliged to seize upon the ball and holt with it to the pavilion. The game thus came to an end, und tlie players withdrew to their homes, with the ex cited crowd following ut their heels.

Fortnightly Kevlew. To BeneOt Barmaids. A movement Is 011 foot iu England, fostered by a group of noble ladies In terested in the subject, to protect bar maids as to their hours of labor, it is estimated that there are 130,000 young women, iu London in linpised houses who work from 13 to 18 hoiiraa day on weekdays and from seven to nine hours on Sundays, with 'one Sunday off in each month, surely when so much is suid about an eight hour day for men these young women ought not to be for gotten. They find a haven of rest in their brief intervals of leisure at the Morley rooms, established by the late Mr. Samuel Morley and now under the superintendence of Miss C, M. uough. Here barmaids out of work can stay, paying a very Btnnll sum for board and lodging. But the social part of the work is the most valuable. Barmaids are brought into contact with ladles of education mid refinement. The rooms are used for reading, writing, music, conversation, rest and advice, and books are lent from an excellent library.

Contain Every Element Taken From the Soil by Plants. HOW TO LAY OFF THE LAND. Make a Careful Survey of the Field With the Kye llefore Starting the I'lnw Olher Agricultural Kicrrita, Before starting the plow make a care ful survey of the field with the eye and by pacing off the lands to see where the proM-r places for back furrows and dead furrows are to come. The proier pluce for the back furrow, if in an oien field, is where the dead furrow of the year be fore was, so as to keep the field as near level as possible. Having selected the proper places for the liack furrows, pace from each end of the field three less paces than one side of the land; then place the guide stake at one end and start tne Plow from the other, using care to drive the first furrow straight and parallel from the side of the Held, flow back and forth, throwing the furrows together, until vou have a strip six paces wide plowed; then plow across the end of this back-furrowed strip at each round, using care to start the lurrow across the end of this back furrowed strip arallel with the end of the field and the furrows straight, so that the angles at the corners are riuht angic-a, men wucii yull coiue to linistl the land it will come out even on the side and end of the plowed land. For the second land, having selected me piace lor tne bock lurrow. pace from each end of the line nine less paces than the nuinlier of paces from the last fur row of the land last plowed, place the guide stake at one end of land ami start tlie plow from the other, and plow as be fore until yon have a stripsix paces wide plowed, throwing the furrows together, and then plow across the end, as before, and so continue until there are but six paces remaining in the strip between the back furrows. Then plow buck and forth on this strip, throwing the furrows alternately toward one bock furrow and then the other, until completed, and so continue until the field is completed. 1 ne advantage 01 tins method of lav ing oil' land over the ones in common use Is that you have the field plowed without turning on and tramping down the plowed ground at each corner of the land, and that the dead furrow by end ing at the end of the field carries the surface water completely past the plowed 3 round and thus gives a much better rainage than is done by plowing around a land and turning on the plowed ground and finishing the land a number of paces iroin tue enu 01 tne item, so that there Ib no outlet for the water gathering in the dead furrows'. Another advantage of this method of laying olf lands is this: Instead of pil ing up a number of furrows of the soil on the outside edge of the field, where it is of little or no use and is often of great, damage by holding tlie snrface wa ter on the Held, it tends to work the plowed soil more toward the center of -the field, where it is of use, and makes the edge of the field low, bo the drainage is more complete. Woud Ashes. The ashes of wood contain every ele ment taken from the soil bv plants of all kinds. lulu there is a dill'erence lietween plants to some extent, there is a close resemblance between them in the quantity and kind of mineral matters they contain. These consist of potash, tune, phosphoric acid, alumina, magne sia, soda and silica chiefly. The most, mporianioi these are the lirst three, and the potash especially. The compo sition of ashes varies mostly in the pro portion 01 lime and potash they contain, this lieing from a few per cent to 70 or more of the first and from 3 to 30 of the latter. The wood ashes known as Can ada ashes in the market have an average of U per cent of potash and 1(0 of lime when unlearned, and a little more nine and aliout 1 per cent of potash in the leached. The phosphoric acid is from 2 to :l per cent lis both kinds; the potash Is tlie most soluble part of the ashes. As they have unite a large amount of lime, there is no necessity to mix lime with them for use as a fertilizer, but it is useful to add some phosphate and some kind of nitrogenous substance with them to make them a complete fertilizer. Thus a ton of ashes may have 200 pounds of fine ground bone or good superphosphate and 100 pounds of nitrate of soda or of dried blood and flesh fertilizer added for one acre. In the use of these fertilizers liberality is tlio true economy. I'rerautloii With I'lga. Sometimes in spite of all precautions the sow will Ih3 found in the act of de stroying her young.
