Why dou't more of our women, espe cially those whose lives are spent on the farm and the number U legion pay atteutlou to the study of the natural sciences? I don't mean for them to get a lot ot books, and waste (?) hours ot time In systematic study; but observe, note and remember the curious, interest ing and instructive thluga going on around them from day to day. Natural history holds a never-fulling source of Interest for j'oung and old alike, and did we but notice closely, we would become even more Interested in unraveling the tangled skeins compris ing the life-hlstorlea of animal, birds, plants and Insects than we ever were in following the fortunes ot a pet heroine In a fovonle novel. I do not say to dis pense eatlre'.y with the stories, for it certainly la a rest and a pleasure, to sit down and forget the little, everj-day trials atid cares that so constantly beset ua, while we unconsciously identify our selves with that persou, In the book be fore us, who surmounts all obstacles and Is at last supremely happy. Animals, flowers and birds have had more attention given them by the general public than lusecta have ; yet the lives ot the latter are more complicated, and show even more of the mysterious ways of an all-wWe prov.denoe. Many have an instinctive horror of bugs and creeping things, " but it la usually acquired, they having been taught, from childhood up, that all such things ware poisonous and uncanny. One can, with little time and trouble, rear insects of many kinds, from the egg to the adult, noting the curious modes ot growth and transformation J and, if apt at description, how many new facts could be given to the world; for tUls branch ot natural history, more than any other, has hidden Its secrets so well that one can scarcely observe at all, without discovering something new, not only to the observer, but, very often, to science. Prof. Grote, one ot the moxt noted of entomologists, says that the science la especially adapted to women ( or women are adapted to It; I don't remember ex actly which). That to be successful. Is needed patience an! fineness ot discern ment, and woman possesses both. Woman can, and there are a few who do, keep bees, and understand their ways I enough to make the business profltaole as well as pleasant. In silk culture, also, she can succeed as well or better than the stronger sex. Now, why should it be a rare sight to see a woman who is a thorough horti cultuilst, an experienced gardener, a practical, economic entomologist, a bota nist br enough of one to be able to recognize the plants ot her vicinity, with their habits and properties? A woman who is ornithologist enough to be able to name the birds that frequent her yard, and tell which are noxious and which are beneficial? To be able to settle this last point, she must know something ot ento mology and botany, so as to decide whether the birds are doing good or harm, by devouring certain insects. seeds, etc There ar many women, whose lives have been spent on a farm, unable to recognlza common birds and animals, and as to calling an Insect by a name, they never heard of such a thing. They " love " flowers, but so little do they know about them, that, in the spring lime, young flower plants are pulled out about as often as weeds, and the children are cautioned about playing in the grass because there are so many "poison" weeds, " poison " snakes and " stinging " bugs there. Children are always Interested in nat ural history, and when one has studied it enough to be able to relate some thing ot the habits of the native animals and birds of the colors, growth and proper ties of plants, ot the llfe-hlstories and changes ot Insects what a pleasure It Is to give them, in answer to their oft-repeated why and what and wherefore, some true information, that Is not only Interesting to them but really useful as well. A lesson read by a child from " Nature's book," under the supervision of an ob serving and thinking teacher, will be remembered long after the prosy gram mar or spelling lesson has faded from Its mind. Woman's Work. About Woman's (Sphere. In answer to Miss Perkins I would say that the spheres which are open to women to-day are as numerous and varied as the individuals to fill them. If we follow first"' In duty's footsteps all other things will be made clear and some how we will find a way to do the work for which we are beet fitted. There Is one place where woman Is ever the central figure and, sister, If some good man and true has succeeded in winning your heart in return for his own, don't let ambition keep you from the Eden you might have er.joyed had you and he lived far back in this " spher ical" age. Yet I am of the firm belief that all women are not meant tor homes, and many mothers tvhotn I can recall are no better fitted to rear children than was the foster mother of Romulus; In fact, memory furnishes so many Instances that I am convinced that although our mission was assigned us by proxy In the garden our Creator had designed us for many others. Still let us not forget the first sphere entirely; Doubtless the tendencies of the rising women are inclined towards extremes; nevertheless, beneath the foam and bub ble, there Is a tide of earnest purpose, a desire to place women by, not raise her to, the side of man, in accordance with the sign, given by God, when she was first created from the rib of Adam and this desire is the outcome of the sup pressed thought and feeling of centuries. The old world, sister, has more need for good, pure, noble women workers than ever before, and whether in farmhouse, kitchen, nursery, hospital, shop or studio. library, laboratory, court or pulpit, let us not be found wanting. I cannot conclude this without refuting the imputation that our literary charac ters ate not good housewives, for I am sure the names of Mrs. Stowe and Marion Harland are too wall known in culinary depai tmenta t have it thought-other wise. There Is; not oaly one sphere for each-of us, b' - many, and let' us do our best for-"" " -v. A - .Voole Charl'-' F ' v " - jfarm Botes. DUtrlbuliou of riant and Heetla.

Some confusion and mis understanding have followed the an nouncement in the newspapers that we had received from the United Suites de partment ot agriculture a collection ot the best varieties of date palms. We have received only a few such palms, and they have all been planted at our stations at Tulare and Pomona. In the future there will be distribution of these, when they prtxiuce suckers. We have, however, a few plants grown fram the seed of the date of commerce, which we w 111 send to applicants in localities where the1 1 ate Is likely to prove hardy, In order that the local climates may be tested in advance ot the distribution of better varieties. Two plants to each applicant, so long as the supply lasts, for 25a by express. Carobs. In view of the continued in quiry for this forage-producing tree ot the Mediterranean region, we have grown a email lot ol seedlings lor uistriDuuon this year. The Carob tree (Ceratonla Sitlqua ) Is the true "Algaroba," or St. John's bread of the Mediterranean legion. and has been heretofore recommended for cultivation in the southern part or the state, on dry and otherwise unavail able hillside) as well as in richer and molster lands for the production of an excellent milk-producing feed. (See re port college ot agriculture of 1884. page 109. and report 1S3C, page 108. ) The Carob is about as hardy as the orange, but owing to Its drouth-resisting qualities when once established, is destined to have a much wider range than that tree. Four plants to each, it being necessary to make sure of having both stamluate and pistillate trees together; 25c by ex press. Kal Apple ( Ab rot Caffra (.The Kal apple is a native of Natal and Caffra ria. It Is a tall shrub, yielding an edible fruit of a golden yellow color, about the size ot a small apple. It Is commended as a hedge plant, as it is densely clothed with strong, dry spines. The leaves are small aud of a rich green hue. The plant grows readily from seed, but can also be multiplied rapidly by cuttings. using bottom heat. In this way plants can be secured for hedge-planting with out waiting for stock plant to leach bearing age. We send by express two plants to each applicant; 25c. Caper Bush ( Capparls splnosa ). It Is possible that the production of the "capers" of commerce, which are the pickled flower-buds of this plant, may become one ot our minor agricultural Industries. The plant is a free bloomer with us from June to October; the flowers are strikingly beautiful and the foliage attractive. It is of low habit, and plants should be set at least six feet apart. Three plants to each applicant by ex press; 25c. r Larger quantities can be furnished at cost of packing to those desiring to plant for trial on a commercial scale. English Oak ( Querous robur, var. pedun culata ). Each year furnishes additional evidence of the exceedingly rapid and satisfactory growth of tlds tree In Cal ifornia. It can be earnestly commended for planting in most parts of the state, both upon lawns and In forest planta tions. One-year-old trees by express, Ave to each applicant; 23c. Young trees should be guarded from gophers, squir rels and cattle all these animals eat them greedily. The average production of corn Is about twenty-four bushels per acre. But for the production ot the fodder the corn crop would not be profitable. The Riverside Press says southern Cal ifornia needs 3000 milch cows and 10,000 laying hens, much more than she wants eastern tourists, new railroads or a sep arate covernment. And we say if the government would loan farmers, who want the cows, nens anu many outer things, the money necessary to supply the needs, at the price it loans to bankers, exempt from all tax, at one per cent per annum, the new railroads, etc, would not lonir be wanting, xaae sne usurer off the laborer's back and he will lack nothing In the way of prosperity.

The Indians In Dakota who had re treated to the Bad Lauds to await the coming ot thol promised rehabilitation In the spring have practically all sur rendered. When Big Foot's band were overtaken by Major Whitesldo'a cavalry on upper Wounded Kneo week, Dec 29, they pro fessed a desire to surrender and came forward, wraptmd In their blanket, and sat down, surrounded by the troops. Suddenly the Indians threw off then blankets and rose, rlfUs In hand, and began firing on the soldiers at close range. Thu soldiers soon returned their Qre Riid the Indian ran, pur4ud by the soldU rs, vho shot them down as they ran. They were B-tou sc 'Attired and hld- de.i In the roat'h lauds, bat the soldiers kept up their hunt as long as a live red skiu could be found. It Is reported that 116 dead Iudlaus and forty dead squaws were found. The squaws ran about with scalping knives during the tight, killing wounded soldiers. C plain Wallace, twenty-live men ot Seventh Cavalry aud one Indian scout were killed; Lieutenant Garlingtop, Seventh Cavalry; Lleutei.ant Hawthorne, Second Artillery, and thirty-eight men were wounded, many of the wounds being severe. Hospital Steward Pollock was killed. The same day, while the seventh and ninth cavalry were returning from the scene of the right a band of Indians undt-r Two Strike, who had broken away from Pine Ridge agency when they heard of the lighting, attacked the wagon train which was following the cavalry. The troops turned back and killed thirty of them. Cue soldier was killed and two wounded. That any of the altacklBg Indians escaped alive is doubted. At latest accounts there were believed to bo 4 too hostiles in the Bad Lands and General Miles had them surrounded and was parleying with them with a view to their peaceful surrender aud the yielding up of their arms. Jan. 5 the iiostlies lay, sullen and ugly. apparently fully determined on war, as on the day previous, when a messenger took them a letter from Miles summon ing them to a conference they tore it up and replied r "We want no treaty; we eame here to fight." Miles was con centrating all available forces In a cor don around the Indians, to prevent, if possible, the escape of marauding bands. father craft, a Catholic missionary who was thought to have been fatally stabbed on the Wounded Knee, is re covering. He explains the situation as it has been explained in these columns. He says: "General Crook brought them hova In their despair. His death, they felt, was their death-blow. The reduction of rations IncreaseJ their fears. It Is not to be wondered at I hat thy believed n the mcwslah. Interested whites took advantage ot this state of affairs and howled for troops. The army indignantly protested against the false statements, but had to go to the seen of supposed danger. The Interested whites persuaded the Indiana that their entire destruction was aimed at, and the Indians ran away In fear and despair. Juts calmed them and I brought them back to the agency. and the kindness of General Brooke con vinced them of their safety. The Gen eral's plan to send Indians after those still out was good, and would have suc ceeded it the General were left alone. Just as a tree can be traced from its smallest branch to Its root, so can the Indian troubles be traced to the starva tion and misery of the Indian.1.

The Nebraska National Guard is also on active duty. A BATCH OF MURDERS. Four Men Killed and a Fifth Wounded in New Mexico. The holidays have been fruitful ot horrible murders all over central and southern New Mexico. -First came the murder of Simpllo Mar quez by D. L. Tiles in Valencia county on Christmas morning. Tiles went to Marquez' house, called him out and. without caase or provocation, shot him In the abdomen. Marques died instantly, A few miles from the scene of the above crime in the same county in the evening an enemy ot Irenco Chave3 called at his resldeuce and asked him to lake a walk An assassin was concealed near by, and as Air. (juaves and nis enemy passed a shot rang out In the air and the enemy fell over, mortally wounded, but before expiring he said: "My brother-in-law has killed the wrong man. Bring me some water." In Albuquerque Christmas day a quar rel occurred over a dinner that had been prepared, and Samuel ucuowan was stabbed to death by James Mullen, the cook. Frauk Sperling, the Magdalena dry gtodi merchant, discharged an employe for stealing a sack ot flour.

All Product t Karar Kxerpt a Drop of BHlha' 8..t Corea. like the world of the ancient. has its -sevea wonders," says the St. Loui Iltpub ie. Briefly stated they are as follows: 1. A hot mineral spring; near Kia Sliintao. the hettling properties of which are believed to be miracuioos. No matter what disease may afflict V:r. jmtient- a dip in the water proves eflicaeiou. 2. Two springs situated at consider able distance from each other; in fact, they hare the breadth of the entire peninsula between them. They have two eculiarities. When one is fail -the other is always empty; and, not-wilhst.-tmlinsr the obvious fact that they are connected by a subterranean pa- sage, one is of the bitterest bitter, and . the other pure and sweet. 3. 1 be third wonder is (Joid V iaa cave, a cavern irom wnicn a wintry wind perpetually blows. -The force of the wind from the cars is such that strong man can not stand before it. 4. A forest that can not be eradi cated. No matter what injury is done to roots of the trees, which are large piuea, they will sprout tip again direct ly like the Phoenix from her ashes. ' 5. The fifth is the most wonderful . of the seven national cariosities of the peninsula. It is the famous "floating stone." It stands, or see ens to stand, in front of the palace erected in its honor. It is an irregular cube of great bulk. It appears to be resting on the ground, free froan supports oa all sides, but, strange to say. two men at opposite ends of a rope may pass it -under the stone without encountering . any obstacle whatever! 6. The sixth wonder is the "hot stone," which from remote ages has lain in glowing white heat on top of a hirh hiU. The seventh and last Co re an wonder is a drop of sweat of Buddha. For thirty paces around the large temple in which it is enshrined not a blade of grass will grow.
