The best gum conies from no particular section, but always from the biggest spruce tret and it boffins to run in July or August, when, in these high latitudes the sua becomes so hot as to crack the laifc. On the limbs, in the crotches, and even ia the trunk of the spruce, the molten gum forms during the heat cf summer in all sorts of fantastic ehapes, and when cold weather seta in it becomes hard. The first year after its run the gum is white and pitchy, then it begins to turn amber and red, find the second year it is fit to "pick" for the market, although it is better if allowed to remain on the trees until the third year. After the third season the gum remains in the same state for sev eral years, and then begins to "turn old," as the pickers sav, and the con sumer complains that it "chews hard," nun ctuiuuin up. a time more ae makes it dark-colored and bitter, and titen its value is gone. ipju wiwua mucn ot the gum is picked in the antumn, beginning as enny as October, but there, as in Maine, me uest time for the work is during the -t?p Snows of the winter, -when snow- 'joes are used, or in. the early sprin"-, w !ien a man can travel along at a lively ra e on the heavy crust, above the underbrush.

Car. X. T. Sun. b H'k pecii'S hav- n tn- rot E t, e!lth Y.'ub uno is true of America. lwsl diminutive horses have been found with four hoofs or toes, like those of cattle. In relation to these prehistoric horses in Great Britain, our authority says: . "Far back before the age of man there lived upon the earth a species of the horse family, long ago extinct. This horse was a little larger than a sheep, and some say not larger than a terrier dog. These" little horses as far ss we know from the fossil remains, were the beginning of the horse tribe. I'hey had every outline of horses, and the anatnvvy also, with the exception that the feet were the most peculiar. Instead of having one hoof on each leg. as our modern horse, this dimin utive pony was the possessor of four, making sixteen hoofs in all. As the horse developed, these hoofs, or speaking more correctly, these toes, all disappeared, leaving our modern hoive to walk upon the end of one toe. "Ia order to clearly understand the manner of the gradual disappearance of these toes a little anatomy may be tolerated. S. acting with the hand of a man as a standard,1 tho thumb, which is really a finger, the index is called the second, the next think fourth and fifth. It has been observed that when this order is in any way interfered with, the first to disappear is the thumb or the first finger. This is noticed indors. The 'dew claw' is the first linger or thumb. So it was with tho littlr. horses. No remains can be found pos sessing the -first finger.. The earliest had tho second, third, fourth and fifth toes present, allof which reached the ground and were usable. 1 hose toes all disappeared until none was left except the third, on which the horse of the present day walks. The one just preceding our modern horse had three toes, the second, third and fourth, but the outside ones did not reach the ground and accordingly were not usable. I'hey were up a little distance on the leg, like the hoofs of a deer, and only remain on our modem horsa in v. hat is known as splint bones. "It occasionally happens that horses, as well as other animals, will breed oacK. ana a monstrosity, as it appears to us, will be tho result! In England. some time ago, a horse was born which had two hoofs on each foot, and Was carried about the countrvas a curiosity. it was a reference, or index of what sort of feet the species once had. J..s' why they were at first in possess-on of such feet is a matter cf conjecture. It mnj- have been because the "round was soft and marshy, ai.d the ex'ra feci gave more surface for resistance. and as the earth grew firmet no necessity existed for s many toj. so that by disnse they begin !o dtssap pcar.

Captain Pamblos is a short, wiry old fellow. Ho Is about fifty years of age, and is one of the most inveterate hunt ers in the country. His unerring aim has laid down many a jackass rabbi tt. and humbled to the dust many a proud woodpecker. The reason is this: Whenever they have a dance, or, as tbey call it, "a big soup, they rig them selves out as fantastically as possible. Every buck M ho wishes to dance must buy a ticket, paying for it in good solid American silver. As a ticket the scaln of the wood pecker recommends itself. It is gaudy and conspicuous. The tail feathers of the yellow-hammer are also used for the same purpose, two feathers be ing fastened to a little stick which is worn in the hair or carried in the hand. These "big-soups" arefieqnent, A Digger will work hard for n week or two when the acorns are ripe and lay in a supply of them for winter. Then he will notify some other tribe, and all his relations back to the tenth gen eration will come to see him and help him devour the whole lot Then they invite tho family of the host to their "campooda," and so the visiting and big souping" goes on till all the rela tions have visited each other and there are no more acorns to devour. The Digger is a child of nature, and he cares little for the fashionable fol lies of the world. Some of them are noted for their wicked ways, and one of the Pamblos, a hard case known as "Sear-Face Dick," or Dick Tomaln, has been a holy terror among his people for many years. Several efforts have been made to kill him by bis tribe and the Nevada City Indians, but all have failed. He is the most intelligent Dig ger of them all, and will discuss any subject, not ignoring religious mat ters. But his favorite topic is spiritu alism. His anmmeiita are often full of dry. sarcastic humor. This dry humor is a part of the average Digger's disposition. Captain Pambloswas once passing a bouse where a young lady was singing vigorously. He paused and listened. Then turning to a boy who wjts playing near he said, gravely: "Why for she cly?" Dick Tomale once listened gravely to sev eral young men and women who were uiM-ussing gnosis.. At last he inter rupted them, and in his drawling way said: "Ya-ss, believe in ghosts, too. 1 nut a ghost one night. I wasn't ex actly full, bnt I had some Wine.

Germany semis every year thousands of hardy Settlers, who till the land and develop the agricul tural resources of the country. In for mer years most of the Europeans, es pecially the Germans, settled in the northern part of the Empire, where thy perished miserably, cither from the severity of the climate or from malarial fevers. Other causes of fail ure were the want of roads and the neglect to bring supplies for the colo nists, and in many cases the dishouesty or the neglect of tho companies under whose direction the colonists arrived, and, perhaps not the least, the hostility of the fazendeiros, who, it is said, number about 6,000 and own otie-half of Brar.il. This estimate would give each proprietor about 230 square miles of land, a territory extending over hill and dale, forest and plain, beyond the reach even of the eagle's eye. Thus it has ever been that Europe has been drained of her hardy and in dustrious Inhabitants in the vain at tempts to establish permanent settle ments within the tropical regions of the East and West Indies of Asia and of Africa. Since the tide of immigration " oceu uirectcu 10 ine southern pro vinces therato of increase from foreign sources has been from two hundred to two hundred and fifty thou sand yearly. It is estimated that from natural increase the population doubles every twenty-five to thirty years, because in the thickly fettled districts the soil is fertile, the climate mild and healthy, and free from epi demics of yellow fever, which are se vere only on the coast. It Brazil were as densely populated as Holland, or even as Great Britain, it would contain more than a thousand million of inhab itants, which number it could easily support, for it has not a foot of desert, and the portions of its surface with drawn from cultivation would be the surface of its vast water courses. The country now realizes the fact that her wealth lies in her fazendas, cohered with vines, plantations of to bacco, coffee, cotton and sugar cane; her fields of grain, corn and rice; in her medicinal plants and dye-woods; in a word, in all the productions of the temperate and tropical climates, rather than in her mines, however rich. These will form the articles of future export, and will cause her commercial cities, as Riode Janeiro, Bahia.

It is interesting to know that among the occupations which are ojwiied to women the hard life of ranching has been one in which she has been par ticularly successful. The very hard ships are said to have a fascination for one who has a bit of love of adventure in her nature, and some women bred here in the East have this generally sup posed to be masculine trait strongly developed. A good horsewoman with courage and endurance can Gnd a vast field for her out-of-door inclinations in managing a cattle ranch, or even a sheep ranch for that matter. If a ranchwoman is successful it is for the same reason that the ranch man is successful because of cn- ergy, tne possession of capital, and hard work against countless discour agements and sacrifices.

Yearly milling journals advocate the cutting of wh ;at while the grain is in the dough state, especially if the wheat be winter wheat. It is asserted that it makes more pounds of flour per bushel, and whi er flour than w hen wheat is allowed to get hard before being cut This being admitted, it is nevertheless true that the yield per acre is serious ly reduced. We have reieatedly shown his, and have as constantly advised farmers to allow the wheat "to get at east so ripa that the prain will hold itsef intaet when shelled by hand from the ear. If millers want wheat ut in the dough state they uust pay a consid arable advanca ivcr commercial pnees, to cover dubikagts in wjight and extra cost in lrying. Keally lha objection of the niller, as betwen fully ripa and un ripe wheat, is the larger percentage of bran. Directly undr tha bran lies tha glu en cells, tho ra nt valuable constitu ent of wheat Uider the old system of milling much of this gluten was left in the bran. Under the newer svstem nearly all this gluten is saved. Hence, the only means of enhanced profit to the miller, as b 'tween ripe and unrlpo wheat, lies in the greater thickness of the bran in tho ripe, ai compared with he unripe wheat. There is no in crease of cither gluten or starch in the Trains of wheat after bdng cut, since ;he straw dries quickly. Ia stand ing grain also, there is very little do posit of valuable constituents after tne straw is fairly yellow at the bot tom. Il.mce, when'wheat is fit to cut, the wise farmer will secure the crop as quickly as possible, and will get it tinder cover as soon as it is fully cured, so it will not injure in the stack or mow. B.tt the farmer mutt take another important matter into consideration, in harvesting. He must calculate the probabilities as between his means of cutting a-:d the time necessary to se cure the crop in the bust condition as t whole. If his conveniences are not mch as will enable him to secure the jiilire crop in the best condi tion, a portion must be cut rather green, and a portion rather ripe, but none should be cut so green as to shrink much, and none so ripe as to shell badly, as to the grain,' or to crinkle down as to the straw.

Alter a paper wnicn presented a view of tho past and present, a discussion limited by time ana not oy lack or enthusiam.followad. Iiie doubt of the time, whether the col lege should bo analytical or synthetl cai. whether education should be utili tarian or deToted to the development of mind and character without aimlnr to prepare for especial work. cnaractenzed the discussion. Some speakers did not believe that the col lege should encourage women to be pnysicians or teachers, or any other proiessionai workers; others thought it was the duty of a college to suggest wenpations for graduates; a lew thought that educated women fulfilled their duty to the world by remaininr it home sSid quietly disseminating culture by personal influence: others advocated active work with men in the professional fields. A . 1 Among uio new occupations pro- poseu ior woman was the collection and collating of statistics. The Amer ican eagerness for statistics is well known, and their increasing use as a basis fjr all discussions in political economy requires large statistical bureaus and many workers. Median ical or routine work is now performed by women In many statistical depart ments, but there are higher services in this work, the superintending of the collection and the drawing conclusions from statistics. A thorough training and a deep wisdom are required for tunning tne best use of statistics. A woman who possesses these qualifica tions nrght find open a prosperous career. Another occupation for educated women is tho management of tene ment houses. Since tenement-house reform has become a fact in larire cit ies, it is necessary that acapab'e agent iioutti oo secured by the owners of many tenements to carry out the de tails oi tne work. Mrs. Oetavla V. Hill, in E'tgland. Mrs. Lincoln and others of this country, have shown that women aro admirable workers in this (add.
