as would prove desirable. In very g"ne-
raj way. stating facts resulting from such
features, our readers must infer what the
climate is, TO pro'iuce such results. Prop
c,lv speaking, there are but two distinctly
marked srasons--thc dry and rainy. Oc-
casionally, however, severe winter, with
ice and snow continuing for some days,
serves to remind us Of our high northern
latitude. The rainy season brginS abou!
the first of November, and may be said TO
continue till May, though it must not be
understood that it rains constantly. 1t
docs rain great deal, and upon short no.
tce; and we are rather more disappointed il
it don't. than if it does. In that season
some six weeks Of continuous dry weather
may be looked for in January and Febru-
ary. Ordinarily, stock will subsist during
the winter months without being housed,
but it is abundantly safrrto provide shelter
and necessary feed; the lnuirns. however,
never do, and it is seldom they lose stock
through severity Of winter. The follow

The Indians largely supply fish, game
and berries, at very cheap rate, and liv-
ing on Puget Sound is about as easy as
anywhere in the word You can five as
cheaply as anywhere, if content with

food the luxuries of other places. But it
you adopt the staples Of other places, and

TU.-As to tile Resources eft Coxmtry
They are infinite aud varied, either of
which would justify full notice. Briefly.
they are, an unlimited and exhaustless sup
ply of as good timber as the word affords
anywhere. Coal abounds throughout the
Territory. The fisheries, undeveloped as
yet, are destined to afford vast field for
enterprise, the realization of wealth. and
as a source of employment 70 many. Ship
building is now commencing to a.tract at
tention. Agriculture, though the Terri
tory is not specially inviting for this field
of industry. yet here is abundance Of land

advantages for herding and stock raising.
Sheep raising has been found most profit
aLle,and the production of wool has become
one Of the interests of the Territory.
Water powers are abundant, and woolen
manufacture bids fair to become IN element
Of wealth. A woolen factory is now being
built on Byrd's creek, near the town Of
Stcilacoom. And though we have 10 great
partiality for holding out mineral wealth ns
bait to parties to immigrate to this Terri
tory. we have every Justification for stat
ing that gold, silver, iron, lead copper aud
other ores, will be found to exist in suclf
quantities as ultimately to give employ
ment 10 vast numbers.

John s. IIittcll, E-q,, of California, one
of the most thorough statsticians in the
United States, and most reliable writer
thus sums up his views of the climate of
Washington Territory:
Washington Territory, as well as the
other portions Of the Pacific, has mildness
and cquabilty Of climate unknown in like
latitudrs on the Atlantic side of the Con-
tinrnt. This place has summer cooler
than that of Quehrc, and winter as
warm as that of Norfolk and while its
average temperature for the year is abont
tie same as that Of New Yoik, which is six
degrees farther south. it has neither the
bitter frosts nor the burning heat of the
latter place. The following figures show
the temperature of the four seasons of the
entire year, in Steilacoom, New York,
Norfold, and Quebec:
Washington standard. [volume] (Olympia, Wash. Territory) 1860-1921, 1869-08-07

New York is 10 degrees warmer in
summer, and s degrees colder in winter
than Steilacoom. Norfolk is II degrees
warmer in summer, and but one warmer
in winter. Quebec degrees warmer in
summer and 81 colder in winter. The
mornings, evenings, and nights of summer
are always cool in Washington Territory,
and the days are seldom uncomfortably
hot. In winter, severe colds are rare Ice
has been formed five inches thick, on still
fresh water near Stcilacoom. but this has
been rarity Puget Sound is never fro
zen over Snow falls almost every winter
to depth of Is inches. but it usually dis
appears within u week. because the ground
Is seldom frozen, and the thermometer
does not stay long below the thawing
point.
The temperature of Sieilacoom bears n
great resemblance TO that of London as ap-
pears from the following table

anren To tho hoofs and anL lea 0f horses

happen to the hoofs and ankles of horses
are occasioned by standing ON the dry
plank floors of the stable, Many persons
seem to think. from the way they keep
their horses, that the foot ofthe horse was
never made for moisture, and that, if pos
sible, it would be beneficial if they had COW
hide boots to put on every time they vent
out. Nature designed the foot for moist
ground-the earth Of the woods and VAL
leys--at the same time that acovering was
given to protect it from stones and stumps.

than that of New York, and one hundred

THE MALE AND FEMALE HEAD.-It is
often argued that the difference between
men and women is only one of circumstan-
ces. Now take family of'childrcn, all
having the same two parents, and why is
then that there will be'a difference in tho
size and form of the heads of the boys and
girls! The circumstances are precisely
the same, and yet, OIL the very day Of birth,
the male body, head included, viii average
a size larger than the female, and the shape
of the two also will differ This difference
Of size is not matter of argument-but a
great fact.
Peacock performed great many expert
ments for the purpose of determining tho
average weight of the male and female
brain, and demonstrated that the male
brain is considerably the largest, the aver
age weight of the former being ffty ounces,
while the average weight of the latter is
only forty-four ounces. DR.. Crisis expcr-
iments in the hospital of Nuremberg exhib-
tied the same results, and they were con-
6rmcd by DIR. Bibra. Hoffman, of Sile-
sia, from seventy experiments, also proved
the average weight of the female brain to
be the lightcst. Laurel also demonstrated
by measuring over two thousand heads,
that the female head is considerably small
er, both in its diameter and circumference,
than that of the male. But why quote au-
thority on subject concerning which all
men may be posted by the use of their own
eyes? The female head is seen to be not
only smaller than the male head, but diff
ferently shaped, thereby indicating the diff.
fereut sphere in which the Almighty Crc-
ator intended woman should, move The
Intellect of man is more massive than that
of woman, fitting him for the scvercr and
and courser conflict of public life. That
of woman is more delicate and beautiful,
fitting her precisely to be the charming
priestess of home.

ton-drinking such supcrfine tea as we
never tasted in the United States We
noticed large jars were placed under each
table, into which all the grounds were
tossed The Chinese do not, as already
stated, steep their tea in pot, but put It
into your cup, pour in hot water, covering
the cup to keep in the stoam, allowing
it to stand about five minutes, draining It
off and refiling. The second cup is con-
sidered the best, and the third fitting is
very good But when Che strength is cx-
hausted, the grounds are thrown into the
jars, taken out doors, spread on cloth,
dried, doctorod, repacked and sent over to
us! The average cost of tea in China is
from fifteen to twenty cents per pound,
but duties, freights, insurance, interest, on
capital, profit to importers and middlc-men,
swell it to prices which make it an article
of Injury. More poor tea is drank in the
United States than in any other lants u
