LITERARY NOTES.

Mr.. Howells' Undiscovered Coun-
try will probably appear in April in
book form.
Mr.. Froude's lectures en- South Africa
have already been translated into Dutch.
The people of Holland, it is said, heartily
sympathize with Mr.. Froude's views and
! have much more interest in the British
doings in the Transvaai than in the East
ern question.
A publisher in Paris has decided to col
lect the fugitive sketches that the late
caricaturist Cham contributed to several
illustrated Partisan newspapers, into vol
ume which he calls "Douze Annees
Comiques." There are in all about l,00O
drawings.
Lewis Morris, the author of "The Epic
of Hades," and who is no relation to Will

Paradise, has in press a new poem en-
titled 1.-THE Ode Of Life" which is sub

etc
1t is affirmed that the new circulating
| library about to be established in London,
near the Grosvenor Gallery, will give to
authors chance which Smiths and
Nudes do not, of getting their works into
circulation. As circulating libraries are
now ordered in London there is little like
lihood that an obscure author will get to
be much known through theiI instrument

! OF William r. Ayers " History of the
Doctrine of Future Life ten editions

at lastsecured one who on being applied to at
once saw the importance OF work which
has since become the standard authority on
the subject throughout the world. The
author has recently added several chapters,

State, and the beRehts to be gained viii be
mutual, and can be utilized for the general
good By careful examination Of the Con-
stitutiou we are satisfied that it was the in
tention of the Convention that framed it
that some such course as Is marked by the
propose legislation should be adopted-that
the Convention was not ininnical to aiding
the industries by appropriations, but on the
contrary was in favor Of this course, for they
expressly declared that the Legislature should
in all suitable ways promote agricultural edu-
cation. It is in our opinion desirable that
the legislation on this subject should be had
as soon as consistent with the importance of
the subject, in order that the organization
may be completed in time to make the neces-
sary provisions for the district fairs this
season.

CHANGING SEED WHEAT.

Thoughtful and practical farmers are be
coming more and more convinced each yeal
that seed wheat should be frequently changed
that one OF the principal causes of the de.
crease In yield and decline in quality of the
California crop is the constant use of the
same seed on the same soil in the same eli.
mate. 1t has been proven in numerous in.
stances that new importations OF seed Of any
given variety of wheat have been followed by
an increased yield and an improvement in
the quality of the wheat produced. 1t has
also been proven in like manner
that a change of varieties of wheat,
provided only that good varieties
were adhered to, is beneficial. We are glad
to learn that SO many of our wheat-growers
are acting upon the lessons of experience in
these particulars, and that they are deter
mined to profit by the knowledge gained in
so dear school as experience. In this con-
nection we would cali attention to tie fox
lowing item which we cut from the Chico
Enterprise, in regard to the doings OF one OF
our own citizens in the seed-wheat line. 1t
says:
We are informed that G. F. Nourse & Co.
have purchased in Arizona, for j. Il. Carroll,
of Sacramento, six thousand pounds OF
''Pima Indian Wheat, raised by the tribe
bearing this name. MIR. Carroll has planted
sixty acres of the Pin Hook farm with this
wheat, and intends to raise it for the express
purpose of selling the entire yield to those
farmers who may desire to change their seed
in the next season. Great care has been
taken to prepare the ground and the seed is
not only pure and beautiful to look at, but as
it was thrashed by being trodden out by the
naked feet of the indians, each kernel is per
feet and uninjured The only known name
for this variety is "Pima Indian Wheat, "
and it is particularly recommended to
those who desire large yield of an
early variety, and with straw that will stand
up. Mr.. Carroll has also sowed 120 acres of
the same farm with the famous . blue stem
Australian wheat, the seed Of which was
imported direct through the house of Bal
four, Guthrie s. Co., San Francisco. The
lands for this were carefully prepared, and
no pains will be spared to keep them clean, 50
that next fan he can offer pure and reliable
seed wheat to our farmers S Something of
this kind has been much needed. and we
shall take pleasure in noting the growth and
maturity Of these new imports.

INTELLECT IN BRUrEs.

One evening shortly after my arrival in
Eastern Assam, while the five elephants
were, as usual, being fed opposite the bun
galow, observed young and lately caught
one step up to bamboo stake fence and
quietly pull one of the stakes up. Placing
it under foot, it broke piece off with It's
trunk, and after lifting it to its mouth,
threw it away. 1t repeated this twice or
thrice and then drew another stake and
began again. Seeing that the bamboo was
old and dry, / asked the reason OF this,
and was told to wait and see what it would
do. At last it seemed to get piece that
suited, and holding it in the trunk firmly,
and stepping the LETT fore leg well forward,
passed the piece of bamboo under the arm
pit, so to speak. and began to scratch with
force. My surprise reached its climax when
l saw a large elephant-leech fail to the
ground, quite six inches long and as thick
as ones finger, and which from its position
could not easily be detached without
this scraper, or scratch, which was dehber-
ately made by the elephant. | subse-
quently found that it was a common oc-
currence. Leech- serapers are used by
every elephant daily. Or another occa-
sim; WIEN Travelling DIV d SiiiS Vi NtsI
when the large flies are so tormenting to
an elephant, noticed the one rode had
no fan or wisp to beat them off with. The
mahout, at my order, slackened pace, and
allowed her to go to the side of the road,
where for some moments she moved along,
rummaging the smaller jungles on the
bank. At last she came to a cluster of
young shoots well branched, and after
feeling among them, and selecting one,
raised his trunk and neatly stripped down
the stem. taking off all the lower branches
and leaving fine bunch on top. She de-
hberately cleaned it down several times.
and then laying hold at the lower end
broke off beautiful fan or switch about
five feet long, handle included. With this
she kept the flies at bay as we went along,
Tapping them off on each side every now
and then Say what we may, these are
really bona fde implements, each intelli
gently made for different purposes.

Most people turn up their noses at this
thing because they do not know how really
good it is. SO It's kind of acquired taste
which haven't got." a person says, ex.
cusing himself. Why, sauerkraut Is a
passion with some people as really know
what good eating is. 1t is one of those
things which, if you once put your mind
to it, comes after that mighty natural.
don't recommend that if party sends
you mess of kraut you send it next door
to the neighbors to cook, and then invite
yourselves in to eat it only, If you dc
cook it at home, and there are lady visit
ors, keep your kitchen and parior doors
shut, or if there is an odor, you say
that s'it's that awful Dutch family
next door that always does it. u
The cooking of sour, or sauer, kraut don't
present any difficulties. 1t is good cooked
alone The only thing is that it should be
cooked thoroughly, and put in tiH-llned
pot Iron makes it black and kills the
right taste. Five hours of slow simmering
fetches it. Add little butter and pepper,
and, if you have it, some cream. If you
cook with meat, piece of fat brisket is
the thing, with an end bone of ham and a
smoked sausage. II the sauer-lraut is salt,
be sure and don't add any more salt.
The best havoring is with two or three
small African peppers. 1t ought to cook
steady, and be rather dry when served,
It's all the better for being warmed over.
Just You take partridge and cook it with
some sauer- kraut, and you are bound, ii 1t S
properly managed, to thank the advice OF

The cold woman's remedy for a '.cold
in the chest" sore throat, or brulse,
which consisted in an application OF brown
paper stepped in beer or vinegar, owed It's
efficacy to the heat-retaining properties OF
the paper A wet pad of this material, SO
far as the surface next the SKIN was con-
cerned, acted almost as well as layer OF
wet linen rag protected with a thick cover
ing OF flannel. In short, stout paper of the
commonest sort is an effective non-con-
ductor, and may be most advantageously
employed as covering for beds, or to exc
out scanty clothing. If this were generally
known among the poor, strong sheets OF
thick paper would be stitched to the back
of ragged quilts, with the result OF render
ing many poor family comfortable be-
cause better protected from the bitter
weather these winter nights. A piece OF
thick paper inserted between the lining
and the cloth of waistcoat, or In the
back of thin coat, will render 1t warm as
well as light The suggestion IS small
one, but it is simple to carry into effect.
