Girls Needed in the West.

A distinguished platform speakerus
to deliver Il very earnest lecture on the
subject of What shall we do with our
girls?" II was hard question to
answer by the lady lecturer. But her
answer has now come. At least there
is chance for some of the girls. Here
is the pathetic plea of the Durango,
Col, Record: We want girls! Girls
who can get themselves up in good
shape to 90 TO dance The boys are
getting tired of receiving invitations
with Il request that they bring ladies.
They are like oranges and apples--very
scarce We want girls who will go to
church and to Bible class on Sundays,
and that kind vino can draw Il congre-
cation of the other sex, and who will
take a buggy ride after the lesson is
over. This will help the livery busi-
ness. and will also hasten the sale of
residence lots, for buggies are the vehi-
clcs in which homes are first thought
of by many persons. We want girls
who can wait on the table. and who can
smile us into an appetite when stomach
bitters are impotcnt, and who will make
the boarders regular at their meals.
We want girls for swcethearts. so that
when we get an arm shot of, or are
kicked by mule, or are thrown from
a bucking horse and are laid away for
repairs we may hear gentle voice and
see the glitter of crystal tear, spoken
and dropped in unconscious sympathy
for our pain. We want fat and funny
girls to make us smile all over, and lean
and fragile ones to hang upon our arms,
and petite blondes who show themselves
on sum- days, and stately brunettes,
so beautiful in the twilight. We have
mineral enough, and plenty of coal and
oxide of iron. The only lack of our re-
sources is those potent civilizers of their

The Land Of Wine.

The pre-eminonce of France as a
wine growing country is likely to be
challenged within a few years unless a
change occurs. France has produced
over 300. 100000 gallons of wine annu-
ally, but of late years the phylloXera
and other diseases have greatly de-
creased the production OF wine. Were
i not for American and other foreign
cuttings and crafts, the vast wine traffic
of that country would have seriously
diminished. 10 make what are called
good wines requires ''starving" of the
plant for it is the grapes that have
been. as it were. stuntcd in their growth
= ut have the finest bouquets. There
has been an immense call for American
wine to supply the demand caused by
the naltial failure of the French grape
crops. and literally millions OF gallons
Of California wine have been exported
to Europe and brought back 10 us as
Rhine wine, Hock. Clarct and Burgun-
dy, The most profitable industry in
California to-dayiS grape growing. An
other country, however. is about to
challenge the world for its wine-pro-
ducing qualities. This is Australia,
which now exports great quantities of
wine. So far. our American vines do
not produce good champagne, but Il GER
tain Australian grape produces a spark
ling wine, which is equal TO the best
Pomcroy or Roderer. OF course, own
ers OF vineyards in California and else
where will be pleased at the prospect of
selling their grapes at a profit, but, af-
ter all, do we want to be great wine
and brandy producing country? Wine
tippling cultivatcs a taste for stimu-
lants, which is subsequently, gratitied
by more fiery potations. So perhaps,
after ali, the failure OF wine crops in
France may not be an unmiXed benefit
to the United States, even if we for a
season profit by the better market for
the productions of our Vineyards
