Arboriculture.
William S. Lyon, chief forester of the
California state board of forestry, says:
It is not generally known that the
common black oak. used for tanning
purposes, la becoming scarcer each year,
and to take Its place we have been look
ing around for a aultablo tree, and have
found it In tha black wattle. Slnca we
made the discovery of which tree was
best adapted to the state and for the
purpose wanted, the state board has been
hard at work Introducing Into California
the black wattle from Victoria. Australia.
As long ago as 1873 the university of
California Imported red wattla and golden
wattle from south Australia, and a
species known as the Hack wattle. This
last has turned out to be a spurious tree,
absolutely worthless for the purposes for
which It was designed. We have at last
found the genuine article, the black wat
tle of Victoria, and we propose to plant
these seeds throughout the state as soon
possib'o. My forthcoming biennial
report deals largely with this important
subject. The report will have thirty-two
full-page lllustratlors dealing with the
growing of barks for tannery purposes.
The coast supply of common black oak
will In time be exhausted, and the black
wattle is tie only tree to take Its place.
Another important work we are com
mencing Is the distribution of the cluster
pine, made necessary to state interest
from the fact that our pine forest do
not yield tereblnthlne products, such as
turpentine, tar, pitch and resin, in
ufllclent quality or quantity. 1 he cluster
pine is the best for the purpose, and it
does not take a lifetime for it to yield
paying returns.
Then we are making rapid progress
with our experiments with the eucalyptus.
The railway company for eight years has
been making experiments at Truckee,
and now announces the eucalyptus a
failure for use in railway ties, not from
Its liability to decay, but beeause the
wood checks and splits. We are gradu
ally discovering what the railway com
pany failed In finding. By all means the
eucalyptus should be fostered In Califor
nia, for we imported from abroad no less
than 15,000 pounds of eucalyptus ell last
year. A firm in Loe Angeles is now pro
ducing eucalyptus oil equal to the best
English product. The oil is taking the
place of mineral antiseptics in medicine
and surgery. A superb and healthful
table cirink called eucalypta Is also just
commencing to be manufactured. We
are oistnouung tne red and tne sugar
gum In all parts of the state, and I pre
dict that great industries will arise in
California from the result of planting
the eucalyptus.
Dom It Pay to Stimnl ate Fowls
If we want egga when prloes are high
and want to get the utmoet profit ot of
our poultry It does pay to "stimulate the
ovaries " and promote digestion, Doee It
pay to stimulate our cows with meal,
oil-cake, cottonseed meal, etc, etc.? It
does, and cows well eared for and gently
stimulated pay their owners twice the
profit that they would by following the
natural method. It is the same with
poultry. By the natural method the
chicks are hatched about June, become
mature about the following April when
eggs are away down and pay their
owner just about as much as the food
costs; while by inducing early laying
and ( as a consequence ) early broodlness.
the chicks can be hatched the last of
March or first of April, and, if fed to
growth, will come to maturity in Oetober
or November, or if fed for eggs and
gently stimulated they will lay vigor
ously all winter when eggs bring high
prices, and pay their owner a liberal
profit.
No better proof of this can be furnished
than the egg yield on our farm for two
weeks last past. We have about 300
pullets (SO of them are year-olds) and
they have laid In the 14 days ending Dec.
2 1454 eggs for which our grocer paid us
$48 43. It costs us not far from $1 a day
to feed them, which leaves $34 43 profit;
about $2 50 a day . Can any farmer earn
$2 50 a day easier than by taking care
of 800 pullets and hens? We know a
farmer who keeps about 80 fowls and
who actually had to buy a dozen eggs
last week for the Thanksgiving cooking.
He said his "pesky hens don't lay."
Well, he follows the natural method. He
has pullets, year-old and two-year-olds,
all rurnlng together and roosting in one
house. He feeds them once a day on
"corn mostly" and gives them a drink
of water olcs a day if he don't forget
it, and his "pesky hens don't lay." We
intend to .sell (for killing) all of our
fowls when they are about 17 months
old, believing that ' by that method we
get the - atmost profit out . of them.
By.- getting' them to laying early : and
keeping - them-, laying by -keeping the
birds healthy and stimulating the ovaries,
we get the cream of their egg-yield be
fore they moult the next fall, and then
market them. New England Farmer.
Infected Eastern Trees.
Information was received at the board
of horticulture a few days ago that three
carloads of peach trees had been shipped
from New York to San Jose, and that
the trees were Infected with the eastern
peach borer. Alexander Craw, executive
officer of the board, went down to San
Jose to Investigate, and, finding the In
formation to be correct, he had the trees
treated with a strong insecticide, which
will completely destroy, the pest.
B. W. Lelong, secretary of the board,
went down to Fasadena recently on a
slmilat errand. ' He has just returned,
and says he found three carloads of trees
sent to Pasadena from Georgia, all badly
Infected with peach-yellows'. The yellows
Is a fungoid disease and Is Incurable; so
the trees have been placed in quarantine
and ' will be returned to the shipper.
Both these diseases are contagious, and
if they once get a foothold in California
it will be extremely difficult to dislodge
then. Chronicle, Dec. 23.
Later Mr. Lelong denied that he had
discovered peach yellows at Pasadena
and Mr. Craw went down to investigate.

SEATTLE SHAKEN UP.
A CkrUtnia Windjttorm Without

ceded In the Morthwest.
Seattle had a windstorm on Christmas
that she will not soon forget. The storm
broke early in the morning and con
tinued all day with undiminished fury.
The climax was reached about 5 a. in.
Vessels in the harbor were torn from
their moorings and tossed about like
corks. Large trees and telegrph and
electric wires were laid low. All railroad
travel was suspended and many build
ings were demolished. The damage was
heavy.
George Bell, a woodchopper, was crushed
to death in his tent by a falling tree.
Magnus Nelson, a railroad laborer.
was struc I by a large Mr tree which
crushed his skull. Nelsen lived about an
hour. The tree was about fivo feet" in
diameter' and fell across the b.irn of Z.
T. Clark, on Melford street, crushed in
the roof, and a large beam in the peak
of the roof fell, killing a large dray
horse and fatally wounding another.
A fir tree, blown across the long trestle
on Deep ravine, on the Seattle, Lake
Shore and Eastern road, broke the trestle
completely in two and many large trees
wore blown across the track.
The Seattle and Northern road also
suffered great damage on the Snohomish
flats. The wind at Ballard lifted the big
pattern shop of the iron and steel works
from Us foundation and turned it part
way round, nearly wrecking It. At Red
mond, on the Seattle and Lake Shore road,
a barn was blown down and several cattle
were killed. In Snoqualmle county huge
trees were upturned and the wagon roads
were nearly all blockaded.
Seattle and Montana contiacUrs esti
mate the damage to the roadbed at $15,000.
EPIDEMIC OF CRIME.
Brutal Murders the Order In New Met Ico
Territory.
A Christmas-time dispatch from Santa
Fe say : Mysteries thicken In Colfax
county. Two Mexicans were found dead
a week ago near an uremer lakes.
Their throats were cut and beside
them lay their rifles. They had not
been rot bed, for money was found In
the pockets of each of them. Then
followed the killing of old Julio Martinez,
living on the Point. He was called to
his door at night and shot down by per
sons on the outside. Deputy Sheriff G.
N. Cook is under arrest for this killing,
and says he had a warrant for Martinez'
arrest, issued by a Catsklll justice, and
fhot him while he was resisting service
of the same.
Another mystery is the disappearance
some six weeks ago of J. P. Jones, a
respected citizen residing on Verruljo
creek, and still another tragedy has oc
curred in the death of Mrs. Stockbridge
near Raton, who was dead and burled
seventeen days without the lntelilgeiiee
having been communicated to anyone
save her son. John Stockbridge, and his
wife.
An examination revealed the fact that
she had been beaten and strangled to
death by her son John, who is in jail.
At his preliminary he attempted to ex
plain that he had done everything under
the direction of God;-that he had not
worked for five years because God had

Newfoundland Thrantens to Rebel.
By an old treaty between England and
France the French, besides retaining the
Islands of St. Pierre and Miquelon, were
given, temporarily, the right to land and
dry and salt fish along a strip of the
Newfoundland coast, and to fish along
that coast. Newfoundland fishermen
claimed the rlcht to fish in these same
waters and for a year or two French
fishermen have denied that right and
French war vessels have driven New
foundland fishers from the disputed ter
ritory. Newfoundland now demands that
French fishermen be excluded from her
shores and waters.
.The British government haa failed to
settle the controversy and now proposes
that it shall remain as it stands another
year while It settles the matter with
France on terms which may or may not
suit the Newfoundland parliament, and
at this announcement the Newfoundler
threaten rebellion.
Newfoundland never joined the Doniln
ion federation, though strongly pressed
to do so, and now a leading paper voices
the popular sentiment when it says:
" We are determined that only one flag
shall fly over Newfoundland, and that
flag wilt be the Btars and stripes If En-
doea not do her duty. There Is a move
merit on foot in connection with this

A Brother Discovery.
Emma Mather was killed Dec. 26 on
railroad bridge near Halifax, Pa.,, by
train running at a high-, rate of speed
She was half-way across it, and realizing
her danger attempted to drop through
the ties into the creek below.
The space was too narrow, - however,
and while she was trying v to squeeze
through the engine struck., her. All her
clothing was torn from her as tho. train
passed over, killing her instantly.' Her
body dropped into the creek and one of
the men who helped to carry the crushed
body to the shore stopped to see if he
could identify it. Suddenly he exclaimed :
,My God, it is my sister!" The girl was
23 years old. ' '-.'

I'rrsaual Influence.
So long as the influence of home and
mother surrounds the child It rarely goes
wrong, as most children or sixteen and
under are good and true; If, after leav
ing the Influence of the mother, they
withstand temptation until twenty they
seldom become other than good men and
women.
When boys or girls leave home for
the harder battles ith lite if their tur
roundings are such that they have the
influence of good women about them
they do not easily become bad. It is
when the home counsels and influences
are withdrawn that we see them go down
You can scarcely find among all the
really great of earth one who did not
attribute to his mother's influence, pre.
cept and example the exalted position he
had attained.
Women do right intuitively and shun
wrong more from instinct than men.
The man sits down and reasons the
matter where the woman is governed by
the shorter and usually mora accurate
route through her emotions.
As a rule the motherif she be what
the ninjority of our New England
mothers are teaches her children the
two most important factors in the form
ation of character, to obey and to work.
And obedience means something more
tuan forced and sullen doing of the things
commanded through fear of punishment.
but is a cheerful acquiescence in yield
ing to parents or teacher. Children are
easily tanght this, and if we go where
any number of them are together we can
select those who have been taught that
true obedience does not degrade but
strengthens and Improves. The same is
true of labor, and where the two are
properly united they make the strongest
factor in the formation of charcter. In
no place ia this matter so clearly Bhown
aa at school. It is not the precocious
scholar wno turns out the best one; it
more frequently happens that the one
who patiently and industriously studies,
whom we call hard to learn, is the be&t
educated, simply because he haa been
taught industry and obedience. Up to
this period the character of the chid
has been largely formed by the mother.
In going from the school to the shop
or farm the child is taken from the im
mediate influence of women, and unless
tha start has been right there is more or
less danger "of degeneracy. The neces
sary mingling with men of coarser fibre
shows another side to character than
that taught under the pure Influence of
home and too many youths get an idea
that it is smart and manly to disregard
early Instruction. Vice is concealed under
beauty, and character is oftentimes soiled
by a failure to comprehend that the
glitter is dross and not pure gold. Any
course of conduct derogatory to women
Is equally entitled to censure in men. Is
the influence of men upon cheracler and
society aa great for good as that of
women when they are credited with a
good character and tolerated in good
society with vicious habits clinging about
them? When character, and character
alone, shall be the open sesame to good
society we shall see less evil power in
the masculine influence than to-day. The
field of politics open to men ' and f om
which women are praetieally excluded
has much to do with character and
society. He who understands the differ
ent phases of political action and closely
studies the causes which affect measures
and men is a power socially, and many
recognize this without stopping to con
sider the character behind it.
In many places where men's influence
upon character and society '-exceeds that
of women the reason is simply because
our sisters fall to interest themselves In
questions vital to the interests of the
church and state, and in summing up
this question I am inclined to divide it
somewhat and claim that where the
judgment of character for purity, for
uprightness and true nobility is con
cerned women have made it and pre
served it. Where society has been, purged
of vicious surroundings and is free from
the taint of wickedness it is where women
have been no small factor in the work,
but where the judgment of character is
all formed by business successes and
worldly honors without regard to better
qualities, men have been the instruments
of Its creation, and society (which is
but the cover of immorality by some
other name ) men with their less noble
sisters compose It, and both alike should
have the censure of the good and true
of both sexes. From a paper read at

It has been said that baking would be
greatly simplified when a thermometer
could be attached to a stove to tell just
how hot the oven Is at the time the bread
or cake goes Into it, and also to in
dicate any variation , in the temperature
during the baking. The man who has
Invented such an accessory to the range
told tne recently that he was encouraged
to work upon this Invention by reading
so much about the need of it. Now that
he has succeeded In supplying the ap
parent demand, , he finds that ' the
women-folks are.slow In trying it."
He must wait patiently, for-, sometime
the oven thermometer will be considered
indispensable, and his own patent seems,
upon superficial examination, to have no
fault. But while the women beat their
cake with an iron spoon iustead of a
wooden one, make tea in a tin pot, sweep
their parlor carpets with a stub broom

Some of these Inventions are useless
because the inventors are men not familiar

certain things might bo done more easily
and better and have tried by experiment

An example of woman's success as an
inventor is seen in the handy nickel
