There Is no longer a probability of hostilities between Kngllsh and Amorlcan shls on Ik'hrlng sea, and the orders for Increasing the American force there are explained. Tho report of Special Agent Elliott, who was sent to the sea to in vestigate the reports that there wore few seals left, has been filed at Washington and Blaine, In view of tho evidence it contains that ono or two more seasons will exterminate the seals, has changed his tactics ami asks, In a letter of Dec. 17 to Sir Julian Pauncefote, that the two governments send a commission to see ror Itself which lies, Tingle or Elliot, and that the entire question at Issue be re ferred to otbltrallou. Ills suggestion docs not, as has been stated Ju some of the pajiers, dodge the Issue of sovereignty In Behring sea, but ho asks that the fol lowing questions be submitted to what ever arbitrators may be chosen. "First What exclusive jurisdiction on the sea now known as Behring sea, and what exclusive right in the seal fisheries therein, did Russia assert aud exercise prior and up to the time of the cession or Alaska to the United States? "Second How rar were those cluims or Jurisdiction as to the Bcal fisheries recognized and conceded by Great Britain ? "Third Was the body of water known as the Behring sea Included In the phrase " Pacific Ocean ' as used In the treaty of 1823 between Great Britain and Russia, and what rights, It any. In the Behring sea were given or conceded to Great Britain by the said treaty? Fourth Did not all the rights of Russia as to jurisdiction and as to the seal fisheries in the Behring sea east of the water boundary In the treaty be tween the United States and Russia of March 30, 17, pass unimpaired to the United States under that treaty? " Fifth What are now . the rights of the United States as to the fur seal fish eries In the waters of the Behring sea oubude of the ordinary territorial limits? Whether such rights grow out of the cessiou by Russia of any special rights or the jurisdiction held by her In such fisheries or in the waters of the Behring ea or out of the ownership of the breed ing islands and habits ot the seals In re porting thither and rearing their young thereon and going out from the island for rood, or out or any other Tact or In cident connected with the relation or those seal fisheries to territorial jvisses slous or the United States. "Sixth H the determination or the roregoing questions shall leave the sub-jH.-t la such a position that a concur rence or Great Britain Is necessary In prescribing regulations for the killing or fur seals in any part of the waters of the Behring sea, then it shall be further determined : "First How far, if at all, outside of the ordinary territorial limits Is It neces sary that the United States should exer cise exclusive jurisdiction In order to protect the seals for the time living uMn the tslands of the United States and feed ing therefrom. " Second Whether a closed season, dur ing which the killing of seals in the waters or the Behring sea outside or the ordinary territorial limits shall be pro hibited. Is necessary to save the seai Osldng Industry, bo valuable and im portant to mankind, from deterioration or destruction? And If so, " Third, what months or parts of months should be Included In such a season, aud over what waters It should extend?" Blaine proposes to protect the seals this year, it appears, and with that end In view the naval force in Behring sea Is to be strengthened, but he consents to submit the question of jurisdiction to arbltiation, which he has refused to do heretofore, because It Is evident that pre vious reports of treasury agents have been erroneous and that a few yoars of dallying with the question will leave no seals to protccL Meantltno the Victoria sealers have varied their usual proeeeduro by sending a man to Washington to ask what course the United States proposes to pursue toward them In Behring sea this year. The Itarrnndia fane Again. The letter of Secretary Tracy of the navy to Commander Reiter, who has been detatched from the service because, being tho senior commander in the Guatemalan part of San Jose, ho did not interfere to prevent the seizure ot Bar rundia on board the American ship Aca pulco, has been published. In It Tracy says: Your ships were on the spot; you had full knowledge ot General Barrundla's approach; you wero Informed of tho In tention to sob.o him as a political offender. He was not a fugitive from tho territory ot Guatemala seeking to escapo terri torial jurisdiction, neither was ho a con spirator attempting . to return to his country to foment a revolution. Ho was a passenger on board an American ship, which he hod joined in Mexico with ids destination for Panama, and he had thus, without your intervention and outside of local jurisdiction, obtained a place under the flag and protection of tho United States. In this situation you found him and his safety was threatened. Under these circumstances it was your plain duty to proceed at once to meet the steamer, beforo she cast anchor m port, to warn the captain or tho danger and offer to his passenger, should ho desire It, an asylum on board your ship. Even after the arrival ot the Acapulco In port your power of discretionary action was by no means taken away. It Is believed that few cases have ever occurred In the history of the United States navy whero a commanding officer so completely abandoned the responsi bility of his position as, according to your own showing, you did upon this critical occasion. A United States officer does not ask of foreign governments permission to offer an asylum to any person on board an American vessel at sea who stands in need of refuge. An officer who so abdicates his authority and that of the nation he represents and surrenders It to others has a lesson to learn before be can safely be intrusted with the eommand of a ship of war. A child should have a garden if only In a window box; but happy are the children who have a great wild garden r.f t.KAif Awn mmn flTld ran crt In. fji experiment with, to give them a love of e soll."Td a bit of the earth hunger Scl From the State I'nlvrrxlty, The following aie offered In addition lo those heretofore announced, to be for warded from the slate university by E. J. Wlckson, Berkeley, free of cost except tho sums named which are to pay for packing and postage: Block Wattle ( Acacia decurrens ). This tree has demonstrated Its adaptation to most California climates. Is a rapid grower and very desirable as a shade or orna mental tree as well as for Its economic Importance as the source ot tho wattle lult ot commerce. Small troou sent out front tho university are already bearing sed in several localities In the state. General success Is reported with seed previously sent out, where the seed has been put In boiling water and allowed to stand aud cool li hours before planting. Otherwise the seed may not gei minute until tho second year. Tho seed Is small, and a packet properly handled should give trees far a" largo plantation; 2c a luu-ket by mail. Licorice. This luiHrtant commercial plant has demonstrated lis adaptation to California conditions, and offers Induce ments to those who have suitable luiuls. The Importation of licorice from Europe to the United States Is very large and the market for the local product U very promising. Isaac Iea of Florin, Sac ramento county, our largest producer, obtains He a pound for dried, medium sized roots, such as druggists use, ami the manufacture ot stick licorice would probably iay even better. If one would give the effort needed to succeed In Its production. Licorice produces lat on low, moist ground. Land that Is over flowed In winter suits it well and sub mergence does not Injure the plant. It will, however, grow on almost any soil. The roots should be planted In rows four feet apart, the roots filiced one foot apart In the row and cultivated like corn. Har vesting Is done by plowing out with a strong team or digging with spades. The plants which we send to each applicant will soon give mils enough to plant a large area If desire I. Let It be remem bered, however, that licorice In laud which Is desired for other purposes Is a troublesome weed and hard to eradicate. We send tlve root cuttings to each aw plicant; lue by malt, poettald. IKsier Willows. The demand for the choice varieties of Austrian Osier willows, which we grew from cuttings received from the United States department ot agriculture, soon exhausted the supplies available last year. We have therefore produced a larger supply for this year's distribution. Nine varieties sent In lots of 10 ot a kind ; llhs a lot or one dozen assorted, 2'c by mail. Mulberries. Cuttings of the following kinds ran be had: Multicaulls; Alba; Russian; Downlng's Ever-bearing; Lhoo; Nagasaki. Sent in lots of 10 ot a kind ; loe a lot or 12 cuttings assorted, 2'Y' by mall. Resistant Grape Vines. These vines are not desirable for trult-bearliig, but are offered to those desiring to test them as stocks for grafting. Cuttings of the fol owing species of Vltls can can be had : Clnerea; Aestivalis; Cordlfolia; Candl cans; Riparla; Arizonlca; Californica; MoiiUcoln; Novo. Mexlcana; Rupestris; Vulplna; Romanetl; Spido-vitis Davidll. Sent in lots of 10 ot a kind ; lOu a lot or a dozen assorted, 2 k) by mall. Fruit Tree Scions. The university or chard contains upward ot 500 named varieties of fruit, and our report on " Ag ricultural Experiment Slat Luis," 1S.H), pages 182 to 187, contains a full list. This report will bo sent to all npplicauts who may order any of the varieties named. We may not be ablo to supply all applications for sonio of the newer varieties, liecauso the trees are small. We do not furnish rooted trees, but scions, for grafting. We do not send large quantities of any variety, because the object Is to test varieties and not to furnish material ror commercial proaga tion. Send 10c ror each dozen or a single kind, or 20c tf a dozen or assorted vari eties Is ordered. I'ertlnent faraR-raplia. The shipment of several carloads of Butte and other northern county oranges to tho east this year has answered the contemptuous question which has hereto fore been asked ot champions of tho northern citrus belt: "How many car loads of oranges do you Bhip in a year?" It does not provo that orange raising will bo profitable in tho north. Cotton raising Is not likely to provo profitable In California until wages fall, and it is probably best to go on In the old way, getting good pay for work and buying the cotton cheaper work else where has produced. Sorghum can be grown and syrup man ufactured at a profit In this state. There Is no question or that any longer. The syrup Is prererred to tho many kinds of drips" that fill tho market by those who have tried it. Yet the demand Is not very lively. When the people are educated up to its use, as they will be in lime, this will be an Important branch of California agriculture, for tho sweet tooth is being developed In the American race at a rapid rate. The olive district In Italy suffered Jan. 7 from the severest weather ever known there. The Minneapolis Tribune says the west ern farmers began business on borrowed capital and have made more money In loss time than any otherclass of men have ever made. Wo do not believe In taxing oleomar garine or cotton seed oil, but we favor a law that will compel the selling of such articles for just what they are, the only tax being an amount suiucient to cover the expense ot their Inspection. We ob ject to oleomargarine being sold as but ter or a compound oi cotton seeu ou to bo sold as lord. Let all food products bo properly named so purchasers will know just what they are. Western Farmer. "No farmer owning suitable land for garden vegetables with a village market near by should complain of hard times as long as his village neighbors obtain their vegetables and fruits through a city market,' says an exchange. A large part of the green grocery supplies which come to large cities are sent thence into country towns to sbpply a demand that could just as well bo tilled by local cul tivators. Shame on such an extravagant system of living. We never saw tho soil too rich for tho apple. Kitchen ashes, in which the table refuse Is thrown, is an excellent top dressing for apple trees. Good ditch scraointrs are better than nofflinir. The apple borer leads to starvation oftener than poor soil, as the supply of food is cut off by every move the borer makes. War on borers with wire and lack knife. Paper tarred, or smeared with printer's ink. put on in May, will keep the borers out, and last three years. Gardener's (Scncral Bcius. UNITED STATES.

A large number of school children are compelled to eat one dally meal, or an apology for one, out of n lunch basket on account of the arrangement of ses sions In cities and long distances to walk In the country. If every child were sure of a substantial breakfast and the appetite to eat it, a light luncheon might be sufficient, just as the hurried business wan finds that In tho rush of mid-day work a simple meal Is sufficient and all that bis ex cited nerves wl'l allow tils stomach to digest. But he wants a good breakfast and a substantial six o'clock dinner. The child ought not to eat a heavy dinner so late and must depend more upon the othar two meals for material for growth and activity. If the mother provides white bread and coffee for her child's breakfast and a doughnut aud piece of cake for luncheon, she has not furnished power to keep the little body and brain in good condition; the lack may show Itself in Irritability of temper or stomach, in dullness ot mental powers or by stunted growth. Children need fats and sweets to fur nish warmth for the body; those are the fuel foods classified by scientists as car bonaceous. A due proportion of another group ot foods called nitrogenous, to make flesh and force, are also needed. The fats should be given them In sweet butter or warm beef or mutton rather than cold pork or tallow; the sweets in wholesome light cokes or in pure loaf and maple sugar, not In unwholesome candy. Beef, mutton and eggs, whole wheat and oatmeal are some of the sub stances that will help growth of bone and muscle. Appetizing as well as healthful things to be recommended for school luncheons are whole wheat, (not graham,) bread made into loaves and sliced or sometimes baked in rolls, corn meal bread, old fashioned rye and Indian bread ; tender boiled or baked beef, and poultry baked, broiled or boiled. The pork given to children should be eaten warm with vegetables and la not suitable for lunch eon. Hard boiled eggs are excellent and by " hard boiled " Is meant thirty minutes cooking or until the egg Is dry and mealy and thoroughly digestible; ten minutes boiling makes an e?g pasty and unhealthful food. Eggs are extremely digestible cooked soft by putting them into boiling water and placing the pan where the water will keep hot but not boll for ten minutes. Custards, blauc mange or corn starch and rice puddings may lie baked or moulded in cups. Plain gingerbread, light tea cake, sponge cake. cream and molasses cookies are a suffici ent variety from which to make a selec tion. Fastidious people insist that a luncheon should be packed In a paste board box which can be thrown away and a new box used for fresh food.

Keep the ITies Down. The house fly la a very thirsty animal and cannot go over 3G hours without water at hand; so one of the simplest observances of the vigilant housewife is to keep no liquids around in any way accessible to them. They are in this way easily kept away from rooms where food need not be, and the rooms do not have to be shrouded in semi-Egyptian darkness to keep them out either. The early fly, like the early "worm, la, after all, the easiest to catch, the hardships being all the "up and at it" part of the performance. They come in scant num bers, big and lazy here in winter. One finds no trouble in catching them one by one with the fingers. Later they get lively and saucy too numerous by far. unless kept down by an occasional dose of "buhach" or persistently trapped. Here la a recipe for a good fly extermin ator: Take a teaspoonful ot black pepper, one teaspoonful of brown sugar and one teaspoonful of cream; mix them well together and place them in a room on a plate where flies are troublesome and they will soon disappear.

The car was filled with excursionists returning from the exposition, says the Pittsburg Dispatch. Erery seat con tained a pair of Buckeye lovers. The fast bear died in Ohio some time ago, but the art of hogging has survived. It was the midnight express, and the air was right chilly, bat not a soul noticed that except a poor, little mar ried roan who sat alone in the half seat by the nnlighted stove. He looked down the car and noticed that ap parently all the yonng men were one armed ; "at least but one arm of each male was visible. The light in the car was very low, however, aud that may account for the phenomenon. Lovers like twilight; if Adam and Eve did not sing "la the Gloaming" it was because they knew a fresher song. And it was twilight in that car, lor all three double lamps were turned down very low, and before the train was out of the Alleghany yards the flame in one of them had sputtered, flared a mo ment, and expired. C?f coarse every girl in the car was alarmed when the gloom deepened. Every girl got a lit-1 tie closer to her protector, and a lew minutes later, when the second lamp began to show signs of collapse tne flame leaping np frantically as if afraid to die about a dozen pianissimo screams came from as many feminine throats. The conductor opened the door a few minutes later and the draught finished lamp number two. This left one lamp alight at the rear end of the car. How anxiously it was observed!'' Would it ro out? It looked consump tive, but there was no draught to ex pedite its decease. At last the train whistled for its first stop ana the little married man came out of his corner by the stove to alight. He had been a bachelor once, ana ne remembered it as be laid bis hand on the door-knob. The train had not stopped, but he opened the door, and immediately a gust of wind murdered the last lamp. As he stood iu the doorway inhaling cinders and river fog he had the satis faction of hearing a sweet, low voice murmur behind him: "Oh, George, I was so afraid!" Of what, my darling?" "That that lamp would never go out!" His Trained Tarantula. - van." A half-breed boy of Mexican and Indian blood recently attracted much attention at Winslow. A. T.. by the f performances of an educated tarantula he owns, says the Philadelphia Times. He carries the big, formidable-looking ' insect in a large wooden box slung about bis neck, which, when exhibiting i his pet, he places on the ground as a - ' sort of stage. At the command of its i master the tarantula mounted a small ladder, rang a bell and performed oa f a miniature trapeze. Then, to the ; thumping of a tambourine in the hands of the boy, it proceeded to revolve slowly about, as if waltzing, and when it had finished saluted the crowd by, lifting one leg three times. : - After its performance was over it crawled to its master's shoulder, where ' it sat, occasionally running around his neck or down into his bosom. The " . , boy says be tamed the spider when it, , was yonng. first by feeding it everi i day until it grew accustomed to him, V then gradually taught it the tricks it knows. He declares that it is mud more intelligent than any dog and ' very tractable, though uncompromis-f ing in its enmity to anyone but him-' self.
