CLIMATE OF KANsAs.-The State
lies between the 37and 40 parallels of
north latitude, while the thirty
seven counties in which the Kansas
Pacific Railway company own land,
lie principally between the 50 and
39th parallels, which parallels in
the United States, include Central
Missouri, southern Illinois, South
ern Indiana; large part of Ken
lucky, West Virginia, Southern
Pennsylvania and Maryland, on the
East, with Colorado, Nevada and
Central California on the West,
while in Europe it embraces the
vine covered hills Of Portugal and
, Spain, the blue waters of the Med
iterranean Sea, and the sunny cline
OF Southern Italy. Thus, its po-
sition not being sufficiently near the
equator to render it eneryating or
debilitatjng, nor far enough north to
expose it to the severity and rigors
of northern cline, with an alti-

whereby pure and healthful breczes

OPPOSED TO FARMING.-Redfel
letter in the Cincinnati Commercial
says:
The anthracite miners are notorious
for their. disinclination to do anything
but mine anthracite coal. 1t is rare
that one quits the business to engage in
anything else, and particularly in agri-
culture. Instances have been brought
to my attention where miners quit the
business when the first large drop"
in wages was felt, bought small
farms with their savings, and have
since been making their support in that
way. But they do not like it, and the
wemen are particularly rebellious over
the labors and cares of q farmers life.-
1t is very different from a miners life !;
more work, more care, more response
bility and the necessity of getting up
earlier in the morning, and perhaps go
ing to bed later at night. There is a
fascination about the life of a miner
which he breads to give up for the hum
drum existence of farmer. And the
females in a miners family have a very
easy time compared to what is required
of them on farm. If every miner in
the anthracite region was offered few
acres of ground-sufficient to support
himself and family-free, and to be his
as long as he lived on it and cultivated
it, 1 doubt if one-half, even in the pres
ent distressed condition of things,
weuld accept the offer.
