Relative Age of Animals.


The average age of cats is Is years; of
squirrels and hares, to 8 years; rabbits, I;
a bear rarely exceeds 20 years; dog lives IA
years; a wolf, 20; a fox IA to 16; lions are
long-lived, the one known by the name of
Pompey, living to the age of 70; elephants
have been known to live to the great age of
400 years. When Alexander the Great had
conquered Porus, King of India, he took
great elephant which had fought valiantly
for the king, and named him Ajax, dedicated
him to the sun, and let him go with this in
scription: alexander, the son of Jupiter,
dedicated Ajax to the sum- The elephant
was found with this inscription $50 years af-
ter. Pigs have been known to live to the
age of 20, and the rhinoceros to 20; horse
has been known to live to the age of so, but
averages from 25 to 80; camels sometimes
live to the age of 100; stays are very long
livers; sheep seldom exceed the age of 10;
cows live about Is years. Cuvier considers
it probable that whales sometimes live 1000
years. The dolphin and porpoise attain the
age of 30; an eagle died at Vienna at the age
Of 1O4; ravens frequently reach the age Of
100; swans have been known to live 800
years. Mr.. Mallerton has the skeleton of a

Room Plants for Winter.

No part of gardening is of more universal
interest in our climate than that of keeping
the plants in health, which are the only bit
of green life that many of us see for more
than half the year when all out doors is
brown with desolation or mantled white
with snow. One of the essentials is to pot
some bulbs before November, store them in
the cellar, moderately damp, bnt dark, for a
mouth before taking them up to the win
dow. Another is to take mp the small
plants that are to be kept before they get
pinched with frost. Those that have made
moderate growth are better than luXuriant
ones. Harden them by setting out on fine
days. Many will keep better in cellar
with some light, no frost and but slight
moisture until toward spring.
Plants are killed by kindness far oftener
than by neglect. They are fed and watered
too often during their quiet time of rest
They are subjected to violent transition, and
especially TO excess of heat Most plants
like 55 to 60 degrees. Few are harmed if the
right tempera' ure goes down to As for a
short time, but chills are fatal to their beau
ty. Air andslight are essential but the air
that plants like best is that which we have
breathed and charged with carbonic acid.
They feed on it, retaining the carbon if they
are growing in full light, and thus their
company is physically as well as asthetically
DOhCHSidi w tAC uuilidH OCCupdtillS. water
is another essential. The dry air of our
heated rooms makes evaporation rapid. The
water should be given freely SO as to soak
every particle of the soil but the drainage
excepting for callaS and other aquoticS) must
be free. and no more water should be given
until the the pot anil soil become markedly
dry again.
Overwhelming and sodden soil are fatal
and common ruin of room-plants; no other
food than good, sweet, well-aired soil and
pure water should be used until growth and
bloom are expanding, when some diluted
liquid manure once week greatly improves
the volume and color of foliage and flowers
if the light is good. When drapery of foil
age is the chief thing desired, the common
ivy, Japan enonymus, Madeira vine, Sedums,
and cactuses are among thi gs that will en-
dure the heat and aridity of living room
best (keeping the leaves clean) and among
flowers nothing, perhaps, excels the gerani-
UNI, varieties of which make fine display
by their foliage alone.-New York Tribune

Stevens County tribune. (Morris, Minn.) 1877-1880, 1879-02-27

IN COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE,
Senator Macdonald in the chair, the bill appro-
priating money to pay the salaries of certain
State officers was recommended to pass. The
joint resolution memorializing Congress to ex-
tend by constitutional amendment the right
of suffrage to women, was then taken up.
Senator Morrison said: In Offering this res
olution have been prompted by spirit of
fairness towards all parties. 1t is well under
stood that there is a considerable portion of
the people of this country who sincerely be-
ieve that the right of suffrage ought to be en-
joyed by all who contribute to the support of
the government, without regard to race, sex
and previous condition. No matter what may
be our individual opinions as to the propriety
of the measure, we cannot deny that these peo-
pie have the right to be heard, and to be treat
ed with the same respect that is accorded to
others. They have petitioned us for such leg
islation as the resolution contemplates, and
for one am disposed to treat their request ia
vorably. There can be no possibility of such
an amendment these people desire being
adopted, unless the majority of the people of
two-thlrds of the States were to agree to such
adoption, and whenever that proportion of
the people ask for it it will be likely
to be adopted despite our opposition.
Even if were convinced that the extension of
the franchise would be injudicious l do not
think that would have hesitated to introduce
the resolution, or that would oppose its pass
age-it cannot do harm-and the ordeal the
measure will have to pass through before it can
become law or rule of the country satisfies
me that if it is an lll-advised measure it will
not be adopted. l trust the Senate will pass
the resolution.
Senator e. Nj. Wilson opposed the resolution
on the ground that the question of the right of
suffrage belonged to the States exclusively.
Senator Kinds said he did not agree with the
remarks of the Senator from Hennepin county.
1t was the opinion of all mankind not many
years ago that women needed no education, and
hence no college or university was open to her.
She then began building seminaries for her
own education. But now there are but few
colleges and universities that have not opened
their doors to women on the same terms as to
men. few years ago women could conduct
no business on her own account, if she hap
pened to have a husband, but now, in most
States. she can prosecute any business she
pleases.
A few years ago woman could enter upon the
practice of no profession, but now woman can
not only obtain an education, but she can ac-
quire professional education and enter upon
the practice of the active duties of physician
or lawyer. A very few years ago there were
NO women doctors or lawyers, but now they are
numerous. Only year ago the supreme court
of the United States refused to permit d woman
lawyer to practice law in its courts, but since
