When woman has to concern herself with the material necessities of life sha descends from a higher plane thar man. She is often forced to descend She must often stoop to conquer. Hu­ manity has made immense strides since it was first heard of, but it has a great way yet to go before it reaches the re­ pose of perfect harmony and crowns a finished world. The angel in man has fatally bruised the head of the brute in man, but the brute still bites at the heel of tlie angel. As between the an­ gel and the brute I think our country leads tlie world. The unquestionable claim of woman, tlie deference due to woman, the sacredness of her physical inferiority and of her spiritual super­ iority, are not only a commanding in­ stinct but clearly-defined idea in Amer­ ican manhood. A thousand violations on tlie part of both men and women do not annihilate this fact. Thousands of women earning their own living, thou­ sands of wives working harder than self-supporting maidens, thousands of both doing their work with or without protest, nay, even with rejoicing, do not affect tlie fact. Even America, ad­ vanced as it is, has not reached the ideal life. It is much that we have reached a point where we can catch glimpses of tlie Promisod Land. At first sight it seems idle to say to women who are wearing themselves out in doing work that should be done by servants, or to a world in which a large part of the household work not only, but of outside work as well, is done by women, that ultimately and ideally they ought not to work at all. But in any comparison of their effectiv- ness with that of men, it certainly should never be forgotten, it should always lie kept well in sight, that how­ ever unsuccessful their efforts be, it is, in a field which they are not made to cultivate. It is better that they culti­ vate that field than that they be idle in their own, or that they starve in their1 neighbors’. Many women ars not sufficiently developed to discern their own peculiar work. Without discorn­ ing it they do a great deal of it instinc­ tively in tho lower fields where they are forced to live, but from which they But always will one day be graduated. ~ it should be he held up on all sides to the light that woman’s real work is on surest weapon character, her is influence, She can buy and sell, and cook and sew, and wash she is and iron, becauso still of tlie earth earthy; but she can not do it so well as a man because she is not so much of an earth creature as lie. As a matter of fact, even in this favored eountry, whero men pay to women, as women, not as ladies, or belles, ot beauties, an extraordinary deference, the mass of wives work as hard as tlie mass of husbands. Their spiritual superiority is signified chiefly in this—that the women work for love, tlie men for money. The spiritual ad­ vance made by man is seen chiefly in this, that so much of the money he earns goes to the ministry of refine­ ment, education, embellishment, to tho wife and children whom he loves. But the woman sees no money for her toil. Her sufficient, her ample reward is in a husband, content, happy, growing in grace; in children, bounding to gra­ cious maturity. The unmarried woman works for necessity, for lovh of her do- pendent ones, for love of some beautiful or beneficent profession, for sweet mercy and charity to the ig­ norant, for horror of dependence upon those on whom she has no claim—sel­ dom for business, ambition or material accumulation. The woman who fails in her business is not necessarily the woman who sinks beneath tho toil of the kitchen, or who pricks her life out with tho needle, or who can not make both ends meet in a drv goods establish­ ment or a milliner’s sliop. Such a wo­ man fails in man’s business, not in her own. The woman who makes a real failure, a failure in her own business, is the unloved woman, the ungracious woman, the grasping, the selfish, the repressive, the uusympathizing, the cen­ sorious, the untruthful, the woman who is a centre of discomfort, a source of anxiety, an object of avoidance, instead of being that gentlo, consoling, consid­ erate, motherly magnet which draws unto itself all human want, and woe, and bliss, and aspiration.—X Y.

LOST MINE llow These Little Mammals Rearrange tho Abandoned Nests of IHrds. Often, as early in autumn as the first or October, tlie abandoned nests of cat­ birds and cardinal grosbeaks, and to some extent those of the brown and song thrushes, will be found very fre­ quently to be tenanted by those beauti­ ful little mammals, the white-footed mice (Hespcromys leucopus). While the fact of such situations be­ ing chosen by these mice, for their win­ ter quarters, has been long known, I am not aware that observation has been carried beyond this point; and I re­ cently endeavored to determine, first, to what extent these old birds’ nests are remodeled; and again, whether or not some of them may not be construct­ ed de noto, tlie builders using the aban­ doned home of a bird for tho exterior of the new structure, and removing it, bit by bit, from its original site. In tlie months of October and No­ vember, 1884, I examined a series of forty-two nests, all of which were alxive tlie ground, and occupied by mice. All were strikingly different from any nest of a bird, such as is found in so ex­ posed a position; none being open above nor having tlie materials for lin­ ings such as our thrushes and larger finches arc accustomed to use. Of the scries thirty-one were placed in dense tangles of Smilax rotundifolia, or green-brier. None were near the up­ per or outer edges of tlie thicket, but usually about one-third the distance from its uppermost surface, and mid­ way from side to sido; for instance: if tlie growth was ten feet high and six or eight in width, tho home of the mouse would be at an elevation of between six and seven feet; and it had therefore a protecting growtli of thorny smilax of three to four feet in extent above it, and nearly the same upon eaeli side. This was a very uniform feature of tlie series examined, and, if tlie mice merely occupy old nests of birds, in­ dicates a uniformity in the matter of their locating by the birds, of which I was not aware, and which I am inclined to doubt. Again, the smilax was so very dense or closely intertwined, in the majority of instances, that it was clearly impos­ sible for a bird as large as a robin or grosbeak to have penetrated it with that celerity of movement necessary to escape the impetuous charge of a hawk. It is, I think, far more probable that the continuous growth of the green­ brier, after the birds abandoned the nest, made it in many cases inaccessi­ ble.— Dr. Charles C. Abbott, in Popular Science Monthly. Some of our readers are familiar with a tradition that the Jesuit fathers who once conducted the San Buenven- tura, Santa Barbara, San Ynez, La Purissima and San Fernando missions once successfully worked a mine lo­ cated probably in what is now Ventura County. Tradition has it that the mine was worked near the beginning of the present century, after which it was cov­ ered with earth and all trace of its existence destroyed as far as possible, from which time its location has been a mystery to all but tho few who worked it and were familiar with its history. An old Indian whom the writer knew, and who died a few years ago in Santa Barbara Countv, ajred, accord- ing to the baptismal record of Santa Barbara Mission, one hundred and five years, claimed to know where the rich mine was located, bet ho fully believed that ho would be struck dead should he reveal it. He said that he and other friendly Indians who knew of it when tho month was covered up and the mine abandoned, if we mistake not on account of hostile tribes, had taken a solemn oath not to let any one know the place where it was located, and that they had been assured that treach­ ery on their part would result in sure and sudden death. He, and we be­ lieve all others who professed to know any thing about its existence, were unanimous in saying it was on the sido of a mountain, and that it was a tunnel. But those who professed to know any thing concerning its location have passed away, and by many it had be­ come to be regarded as mere tradition; and as muchatime, money and labor had been expended in searching for it many had come to believe its existence was mythical. But a short time ago a professional prospector, n gentleman thoroughly conversant with the mines of Arizona, New Mexico and Colorado, tracing the Calico ledge into this county, acci­ dentally came upon an old tunnel pene­ trating tho side of the mountain, which he believes to be tho lost Jesuit mine. He roughly estimates tho length to be three hundred or four hundred feet, with tho sides “coviied” in various directions. The gentleman and hii partner were attracted to the spot by seeing cottonwood trees growing on tho side of a mountain, and alter reach­ ing tho spot they found them grow* ing in the mouth of a tunnel. Thoir appearance indicated that cot­ tonwood limbs had been placed on end at the mouth of tho tunnel and covered with earth, the dampness from within having caused them to grow. But the earth caved in, and washed by the rains of probably sixty or seventy winters, exposed the tunnel which hud been so effectually concealed. Near by were found the remains of old smelting works, and a silver brick weighing about one pound, which tho prospectors exhibited to us, was picked up. This prospector, who is an unusu­ ally intelligent man, first traced the Calico ledge Into Arizona, then return­ ing he traced it into Ventura County, and believes that he has found a ledge of mineral far more valuable than tho Waterman or any other mine yet discov­ ered in San Bernardino County. The specimens exhibited to us indicated rich ore, some of them carrying free gold, and if once developed may be a source of immense revenue to tills county. Tlie ledge is an extensive one and can bo easily worked— Ventura (Cal.) Free Press. A PRECIOUS CROP. Restoring Lost Elements in the Soil bf Flowing Under Clover. There are very few questions before farmers at the present time of more real pratieal importance than the grow­ ing of clover for its double use—first, feeding; second, turning under—the purpose being to replace lost elements in the soil. There are pretty extensive districts in the West, where the soil is mainly sand, that but for clover would to-day lie populated by a very unthrifty class of farmers, whereas these lands are occupied and owned by farmers who, through systematic economy and careful study of the needs of these sandy lands, and how best and most cheaply to supply these needs, have been enabled to put up good buildings and get well ahead in this world’s possessions. This has been in a large measure accomplished through growing an effective fertilizer upon their own land, getting an immediate return by using a portion of the crop so grown as stock food. Clover has done this, and that, too, at a very much less cost than an equivalent could be obtained for in tho market. Clover has proved itself to be a success­ ful accumulator of plant food. It would be difficult to approximate the amount of wheat that has been grown on the opening lands of Michigan alone during tho past forty years, tho main dependence for producing I’he amount clover. which was would equal a sum sufficient to buy several counties of Western lands. An authority, upon making a careful estimate, ad\>need the opinion that in two and one-half tons of clover hav, or in an acre of clover sod of corresponding quality, thero will for both grain and straw be enough phosphoric acid for a crop of 31 bushels of wheat, of combined nitrogen for 71 bushels, of potash for 102 bushels, of inagnosia for 120 bushels, and of lime for 270 bush els. So it is very properly asked, can reading fanners be surprised at being able to raise comparatively large crops of wheat on clover sod? This on the supposition that they have taken off a crop of clover hay from tho land, turning under a moderate second growth, but when a full crop (having, perhaps, been moderately pastured) has been turned under, the dullest of men have yielded to the evidences, and »henceforward have cheerfully scattered the clover seed and turned under crop, with a full expectancy of having a paying return.

Reuniting Portions or ringers. Numerous instances havo been re­ corded of late in the medical journals of the complete reunion of portions of fingers which had la-en cut off from the hand, in some cases by the knife, and in others by the axe. In one case a man, in cutting kindling for the morning fire, accidentally cut off the end of his thumb. Ho had gone from the place some twenty feet, when he returned, picked up the end, wiped it and re­ placed it, binding it in its original place as nearly as possible. The wound united: and tho finger is now as good as ever, save that its sensibility is some­ what diminished. In another cane a boy chopped off tho end of three fingers. He was scon by a physician three or four hours after the accident. The ends of tho fingers had Iren found in the snow, and «are brought to him.
