In western Patagonia, among the Cor !

whom so many big stories have boot
told. As a matter of fact these Aran
canlnns, ns they arc called, arc rarely
under sis feet in height and sometimes
reach eight feet, seven foot men being
not Infrequent, says the Fhilahelphia
Press. Though mildly disposed, they
admit no strangers to their territory,
and by stubborn resistance they hnve
compelled Chili to let them alone.
Fabulous treasures of gold and
silver are believed to bo stored
away in their mountains, but prospec
tors who have ventured thither have al
ways been driven away. They eem
monly adorn themselves with rich and
heavy ornaments of these precious met
als. The greater part of Patagonia be
longs now to the Argentine Republic,
Chili holding by treaty the strip along
the Pacific coast, which continues- its
shoe-string-like territory for nearly half
the length of youth America.
Most of the country is a desert waste,
cold of climate and contrasting- strongly
with the riehly produotivo pampas or
pliiins of tho southern Argentine.
Theso pampas are remarkable for the
strange illusions which beset the eye of
the traveler who journeys over them.
On any bright day a distant thistle Held
is as like as not to be transformed
seemingly into a forest, while a few
clumps of grass will take on tho ap

WOMEN'S UOVE LETTERS.
They Do Not Compurn with TIwkg of the
Mem. j
The first thing a von-an does when
she falls in love is to brpiri to write love
letters, regardless of ";rammar and
spelling. She is in such haste, says the
Chicago Herald, to taU him how she
loves him that she hv.-i't time to con
sult a dictionary-' ncc ' i.!-r heart
"yearns," her soul - ,iripi!fTiiies,"" her
whole being is "drow'nded" in a sweet
sorrow, etc. The fact of the matter is,
according to our expert, whether they
spell their language correctly or not
women cannot write siyh good love let
ters as the men, anil vben I say love
letters 1 mean love poems, too. True,
a woman wrote "Corinne," hut no
woman could have written "Werther."
When the lover's hand does the writing
be makes us believe that the music of
his sweetheart's voice is the most de
licious of melody, that her face is the
most beautiful of pictures, her body tho
fairest of statues, tho roof that shelters
her the most glorious of castles and the
ungraminatical scrawl which she sends
him the most exquisite composition in
the language. Yes, all tho world loves
a lover, but it does not seem to care
much for a woman who pours her soul
out in platitudinous phrases, possibly
passionate, but evidently painful.
When nature gavo the male bird the
power of song it was done for a pur
pose, and I advise moyt women to let
the boys write the love letters.
AFRICAN RAIN POOLS.
An Annoying Incident of Travel la That
Country.
It frequently happens, even when
there is no absolute scarcity of water,
that, the weather is sufliciently hot and
the road dusty enough to iakc a
glimpse, of a clear, fresh pool of coo
rain water particularly welcome, liut
while the thirsty traveler is anticipat
ing a luxuriant draught the eager doge
catch sight of it, and, rushing forward,
plunge till together into the pool and
lap the "waters as they bathe, while the
native followers kneel among them and
secure their share. The European, if
he bo really thirsty, must then check
his feelings of disappointment und drink
the liquid in the foul condition in which
he (i nda it.
"I once saw,"' said a traveler, "after
an almost waterless journey of nearly
forty miles, a broad and placid rain
pool, surrounded by grassy borders, in
an opening in the forest. For one min
ute it reflected the clear blue sky and
the surrounding trees, but in another
moment the loose cattle and the horses
broke into a trot, the wagon oxen for
got their weariness, and then the place
of the rain pool was occupied by a
erowd of men, of animals and vehicles,
tramping the clear waters into a semi
fluid of the color of mud."
A rellno Tramp.
The usually strict railroad rules were

dusty that its natural color could not

tures were made, and rejected with
hisses and yowls, so tho conductor con
cluded to let the e:it tramp continue her
ritle unmolested. He told the train
men of its presence, and they kept
watch at the stations at which the train
stopped; but the cat never left its perch
until the train rolled into the station at

PROGRESS IN CELERY CULTURE.
No 3Iore Back Ache In Cultivating' a
l'ntch of This Frofltuhle Plunt.
We live and learn, but it seems as
though we learn exceedingly slow. We
get into ruts and follow them persist
ently, and especially so the men who
grow things from tho soil. The prairie
states of the West lend the whole world
in economical rough farming, and also
in market gardening and the field cul
ture of small fruits; while eastern New
Jersey and Long Island, and, in fact, all
the country directly tributary to the
great marS'ts of Philadelphia, New
York and Boston, lend all the world in
the line of economical vegetable gr
ileuing. It is truly wonderful the stride?
that vegetable gardening has made in
the last twenty years. Formerly they
put as much labor i:i a couple of square
rods of asparagus they now do on an
acre, and the modern " grass " iB by far
the best.
The eld celery culture gave an im
mense amount of labor and back ache
for little profit. It, was the most tedious
and laborious to grow of all vegetables.
For success in any quantity a special
soil and climate wasuecessarv, and rnosi
expensive preparation of that soil. The
new celery culture is mere play and
great profit as compared with the old
modes. All one needs is a deep, well
drained sandy loam; if naturally rich,
all the better. Yet it may be very poor,
just simply sand, it' it have depth. Then
the next necessity is plenty of good
water for irrigation. With such a rank
growing plant it will not do to depend
on the natural wetness of the climate,
even in the East. Good water in this
ease does not imply pure water; in fact,
the filthier it is the better, excepting
water containing mineral salts. They
might be too strong; yet sne of them
would make the water, more acceptable
to the celery. City sewage from resi
dence districts is excellent. The next
requisite is sufficient of a special cjlery
fertilizer a chemical manure, we will
say,, carrying all the elements requii I 1
for celery growth. This is sown bi'yAJ
rat Mtfi ;5(.'itfite!y mixed with the 4tl
Then we have no weeds and grass sWls
in our fertilizer, and with the ground
fresh and clean, put in good strong
celery plants, seven by seven inches
apart. Then give them air, warm water
as needed and let them grow. And they
do grow, and blench themselves as they
grow. No earthing up or artificial
blanching is needed. Growing in such
a solid mass, they must have an abund
ance of celery plant food and water.
Then all the other labor required is to
fork them out, strip, wash and send
them to market. Figure out what an
acre of such celery will bring ai $1 to fl
a dozen.
A VALUABLE BOOK.
The Annual Report of the .State Xlon!
Of Horticulture.
The annual report of the slate board
of horticulture has been issued. It is
ably edited by Secretary B. M. Le Long.
It is sent free (send twelve cenfs lur
postage) to anyone. Address Secretary
Le Long, 20 Sutter street, San Fran
cisco. Every fruit, grower should read this
report. It contains a, vast amount of
valuable information, it is the best re
port so far published by the board. It
is a volume ot DUO pages divided into
five parts.
The preface is devoted to the trans
actions of the board and reports of dis
trict commissioners.
iJart one is a general review of the
fruit season of W.H.
Piirt Two History and importance of
the prune industry of California. This is
a most valuable treatise showing won
derful strides in this industry in the last
ten years. A complete hand book of
the prune, finely illustrated, with out
lines from ratine, showing exactly how
prunes look when grown here, can bo
hail separate in pamphlet.
Part Three New varieties of fruit,
methods of curing and adulteration.
Part Four ln-eets, injurious and
beneficial, tree diseases and their ene
mies. This la anot her chapter of great
information. It is marred only by the
pernicious fruit pest laws and quaran
tine regulations.
The state board of horticulture is in
dispensable and has greatly benefitted
the state. Mistakes have been made,
but none of ns ate infallible. Too much
cannot 1 said in praise of Secretary Le
Long. He is the right man in the right
place. Alexander ('row, entomologist
to the hoard, is an eli'u ient official.
The report is inconsistent in some
places. One iiariie say the pernicious
San Jose scale bug lias been practically
anihilated in wide f ciions where it whs
extremely devastating. The next s -n-fence
advises the enforcement of the
spraying laws. This spraying is against
the judgment of experienced orehard
ists, as it could harm the scale but lit
tle at the time and would destroy the
trisect enemies of the rest.
Taken all in all the report, is n valu
able book and contains much practical
information: ,
Give Htock Oord Care,
Keep every animal or- the farm thriv
ing. A month of starving will injure
the growing pig more ' ban two months
of feeding will do goot'. Sheep should
never have scanty far-; it injures tie
wool both in quantity Mid qnaliiy. The
growing colt or calf once checked in
growth by insufficient food never flls
the original promise.

OCEAN CURRENTS.
The Wlliiln Control Jills ruch-DUcnail
Phenomenon.
The niudi-diseussed phenomenon of
ocean circulation or ocean currents may
best be considered, says an English
writer on the subject, by regarding the
currents ns merely one grand system of
circulation, produced, not by the trade
winds alone, but by the combined ac
tion of all tho winds capable of produc
ing this action, the effect upon the cur
rents depending upon two circum
stances, namely, the direction of the pre
vailing winds and the conformation of
the sen and land; und from this it re
sults that the general system of winds
may sometimes produce a current di
rectly opposite to the prevailing wind
Wowing over the current. Taking,
therefore, into the account the result of
the conformation of the sea and land,
it h argued that all the principal Cur
rents of the globe the flibnillar cur
rent, not excepted are moving in the
exact dirclion in which they ought
to move, assuming the winds to be the
sole, impelling course. This being the
case, the influence of the rotation of the.
the earth must bo considered as having
been greatly overestimated, such rota
tion exercising no influence in generat
ing motion on the earth's surface,
though if the body lie already in mo
tion, the rotation will deflect it to the
right, in the northern hemisphere, and
to the left in the southern. Again, dif
ference of specific gravity, as resulting
from di fi'creuce of temperature, between
the equatorial and polar regions, might,
if suhkiently great, produce sonic in
terchange of equatorial anil-polar wa
ter, but not such currents as the equa
torial and gulf stream exhibit. t

Several prominent leaders of society
in London have Inaugurated a rather
startling custom, which is being widely
discussed in Moyfalr and Uclgravia.
They have decided never to invite hus
band and wife to the ramediunor party,
rightly concluding that a married
couple see finite enough of each other
iu their own home without wanting to
be chained together in public. The
woman is undoubtedly more attractive
to the male guests, displays more elan
and verve vhen free from the restrain

quently, a more useful guest as fares
