HOME ARTISTS.


II will be worth the while OF any lover
of art in this city TO visit the exhibition
being now made by Mrs. W. p. Stem and
her pupils, and by Prof. Lawrence, in the
reception rooms of Prof. Baldwin and rooms
adjoining of Prof. Lawrence. The character
and style CT he works are varied, including
oil and water coiors, crayon, etc. There are
a number of very fine things in each line.
and several very pretty things, which I'M
questionably portray true artistic training
and feeling. The rooms, in fact, are brilliant
with colors in flowers, and charming with
scenic and animal life. There must be
altogether at least half hundred or more
pieces well worth the study and admiration
of our people. The portraits of Prof.
Lawrence in crayon are not the least of the
many worthy things of exhibition. Every
body is welcome to visit these rooms.

SNOW AND WHEAT.

Farmers say that the snow on the ground,
covering it like a mantle, is worth thousands
to the wheat, and that the longer it stays the
better. The snow now covers the entire
ground and is frozen. rs well as the ground
under it, and when it thaws out in the
spring the ground will absorb it uniformly
and the frost will leave the soil light and
pulverized. Soon the warmth of the earth
will cause the roots of the wheat to reach
down and gather the nutriment of the soil,
and when spring draws out the growing
stem it will spring forth with much vitality.
Il is said on good authority that the volume
of snowfall is yesrly increasing, and if SO it
augurs well for the agriculturist, as it has
long been an adage of the farmer that a
heavy snow is as good as coat of manure.
This being the case, the wheat crop ought
to be an increasing product of Kansas.

During the splendid sleighing that has
been on for several days the small boy sp-
pears 10 have the inside track and may be
seen by the holf-dozen hitched on behind
the wagons and teams that go along the
streets. Their industry is something re-
markable, and ifthey stick to the smooth
edge of life with half the tenscity that they
hold or to their ropes turned around the
axle trees of wagons, they will, no doubt,
reach a high eminence in life. The little
SLAVES appear TO be proof against accident
and run all kinds of risks and peril that
pursued in will give them fine nerve when
they enter the resl estate business.
