In the Colorado Desert.

This is the story to illustrate the pos
sibilities of the Colorado Desert:
"Some three years ago a wandering
home hunter, having sold out his rude
homestead in Los Angeles County,
rugged up a team with a good supply of
yearling nursery trees, seeds, ETC., in
tending to go to Arizona, with his wife
and two children. His way was through
this desert. Resting one day to recruit
his horses where a few bushes offered
browsing, his children amused them
selves digging a hole. The mother no
ticed that the loan sand was moist. In
a few minutes she drove a crowbar
down four feet below the hole and
struck water. A wisp of straw in,
serted brought up by capillary at.
traction enough to prove the water good
enough to quench thirst. Next day they
dug a well and at six feet found water
plenty on the third day. IF this mis-
cradle soil would grow anything we
might squat here said they. While
debating a green spot appeared. 1t was
the horses oats and hay seed which,
with spilled water, had grown to a lively
and grass grow everything will grow
let us pitch III tent right here And
they did so. Very rude culture, with
water, gave them in sixty days vegeta.
bles enough to support them for a year.
From this rude beginning see now,
August, 1877, how quickly industry
with trifing coin can realize a luxur.

a block, or, if they are in the country,
he probably makes for the woods, goes
in some distance, then turns back, per-
haps, till he finds some leafy tree, up
which he climbs and hides himself till
the hounds have gone by: anything
to put them off the track.
When the hare has gone far enough,
and wishes to return, especial care must
be taken, as, if he is seen, the hounds
can rush after him, "'cross lots" and
woe betide him if he is caught! He is
no longer champion, but has to give up
his badge to the fortunate catcher"
and can not even be one of the hounds
till he has paid a certain forfeit de
manded by rule-usually something
good to eat.
If the hare getssuccessfully home to the
playground, the opposite party has to
" stand treat" so you may imagine how
each side strives to win. 1t is a capital
game when really played according to
rules, and English boys think the rules
half the sport. 1t has been played for
generations-an old game-not only in
England, but wherever English boys
have gone, or English games are known.
1 should not wonder if some of the
boy readers of 81. Nicholas already
know about this game, since SO many of
their English cousins come to this
country. If so, this account must be
for those who have not heard Of it.
In Scotland / think boys enjoy the
game fully as much as in England, KEEP
closer to the rules, and welcome each
hunting-dayas eagerly as the first one OF
the season. Wednesday and Saturday
afternoons are usually chosen for hunts
though sometimes an indulgent teacher
will give the whole school an extra
half-holiday for a "hunt."
Does it seem strange to think of hav
ing only a half of Saturday for play
1t is almost a universal custom, at leas
in Scotch country places, to have schoo
, on Wednesday and Saturday morning
!, till noon, giving the rest of those day
for a holiday, and boys there seem t.
like it so. | suppose that is becaus'
they have never known anyother way.
. Butthey get a great deal of enjoymen
out of their " halfies" (as they call thos
, holidays), and after school-hours as well
though school does not usually close til
e four o'clock. That is late, isn'tit? Blu
D Scotch summer-days hardly seem t
I, have any end. All through June, Jul,
and August ION the west coast prin
cipally), it is as light at ten o'clock i
J, the evening as it is in our country a
seven, so games go on all through tn
/" gloamin'," till tired feet turn gladl
homeward, where wearied heads see
t downy pillows, and bright eyes close i
the sound, healthful sleep that comes s
quickly to happy childhood after a Ions
e Joyous day spent in the pure, fresh sun
