The snowfall on the Sierras has been very
light tho past winter. AT the Summit and
Cisco the greatest average depth falling at
one time this year has not exceeded six feet.
The average fall in former winters has been
over twenty feet In this winters Of 1878.
when Cisco was the terminus of the Central
Pacific railroad, the snow there fell to q
depth OF over thirty feet
This was before the suow-sheds were built
when the railroad company had over 900
men employed in shoveiihg snow from the
deep cuts between Blue Canyon and Cisco.
The passenger trains at that tins consisted
OF only two coache and ono baggage car,
and were dra WI the last eight milo5-from
Emigrant Gap to CiscD-by eighteen ten

our FoReloN-soRN POPULATION.

some Details OF Interest-Irfsh and Ger
superintendent Walkers Lecturel
Gen. Walker discusses the foreign elements
Of the population in interesting detail. The
percentage of inhabitants of foreign birth in
1850 was p.0s; In 1850, Ia 10; in 1870, A44:
in 1880. 1882. The foreign population
reaches its maximum where the general
population is densest, along latitude 40 and
Al and longitude rs and "A. Since 1870 the
proportion of Irish in every 10, 600 foreigners
has fallen from 4, 2S5 to2, 776 The Germans
have gained proportionately. New York
stands first in aggregate foreign population,
and also first in Irish, German, and English
population. Pennsylvania stands second in
aggregate foreign population. Illinois third,
and Massachusetts fourth. The increase in
Chinese population has not been what might
have been expected In 1850 the Chinese
population was 1853; in 1860, $1,000; in 1870,
5000; In 1880, los, 001.
The division of foreign-born inhabitants
as regards occupation is interesting. In ag-
riculture 293 herman engage for every 40
Irish; in personal and professional services,
as servants, the proportion stands 2ls Ger
mans to AIS Irish. There are few Germans
who are textile operatives, but many Irish
and more British Americans Three times
as many Irish as German engage in do
nestle service. although there are more Ger
mans than Irish in the country. The total
y pulation stands q native 10 l foreign
The criminal proportion stands; Foreign,
Is 600; colorsd, 1900; native, 1900. The
numerical relation of those born abroad and
thrif children here Is as follows. Born
abroad. G,5Ja,C7g: having one or both

were born abroad, 5,5G7. 9s9, having one Oh
boti parents foreign, 10, s92.0l5 In each

A Higher Education for Cavalry Horses.
Washington star.l


Lieut. Gen. Sheridan has received several
photographs from Fort Bayard, N. NJ, rep
resenting two troops Of the Sixth cavalry
firing over the bodies Of their horses, which
lie fiat on the ground. In a letter accom-
panying the photographs Maj. A. K Arnold
states that in each of four troops, aver
aging thirty five horses each, there are about
twenty-five horses that hnve been thus
trained, and that nearly all Of them lie
down The men can climb all over their
bodies and ere in various positions without
stirring the horses. This is the result Of
about three months work, one horse per
day. barring Saturdays, Sundays and bad
weather. under direction of Maj Arnold.
Another desirable result of this training is
that men who were formerly timid have be-
come courageous and onfide In the hand
ling OF their horses, and horses formerly
dangerous are now thoroughly gentle. Con-
sidering that these horses are California
~bronchos, generally aged, their thorough
training Is all the more remarkable, and
much better results may be expected from
young American horses.

[ was silent in the utmost CONSERVATION.
Perhaps my readers will scarcely under
stand my feeling, but, from the eldest to
the youngest Hartray, there was point
of honor involved in the first born son
farming the Abbey lands, which had come
down to him through so many generations.
10 forSake it for any other trade or pro-
fession was looked upon as grave neglect
of duty, and confession Of wea kness.
Farmer Hartray of the Abbey Farm was
considered title honorable enough for any
man. Perhaps all this was an old fashioned
prejudice, but in those days sons were
expected to respect the prejudices and
weaknesses of their fathers and grand
fathers | knew the feeling was very
strong in our father, who would have been
deeply disappointed film had turned farm
er instead of Wolf; and Wolf knew it, too.
Hence my CONSERVATION.
+" Wolf" I said pleadingly, laying my
hand on his arm, surely you don't mean
1T! you 50 steady and industrious, and
sensible? Father says you are slow, but
for all that he would trust the Abbey
Farm to you before anyone he knows
