VIII Not Collect Seeds2

In these days of stamp, coin, shell,
mine n, plant, and insect cole tors,
the writer has often wondered why it
: that Sc few have turned their at
tcntion to making collections of seeds.
The field, as it appears to me, is one
Of exceptional interest; exceptional
not merely because OF the work OF
real merit that may be done therein,
but because it is practically mex
haustible; because the materials are
very largely of such a nature as to he
cared for with a minimum amount of
Labor and require but little space;
and because in many instances seeds
are themselves objects OF great
beauty. There are few pursuits in
which greater latitude may be al
lowed, or greater opportunity is given
for display of individual energy and
mental scope. The amateur, whether
man or woman, boy or girl, business
man or teacher, cripple or invalid,
may each and all collect and find
ample room for so much or so little
study as he or she may choose to de-
vote to it. One may collect only suc
seeds as have in the uselyes some
point of beauty, or are of curious
shapes; may know them only by their
common or local names, or may take
up the subject in a purely scientific
spirit, identifying a plant during its
Towering stage and finally collecting
its seeds when mature, labelling them
with both common and scientific
names date Of Towering and seeding,
and laying away to form part of
what in time may grow to be a col
lection of real value. Science

ludinn Spork


Colonel B, who was TD3ian
agent on one of the Western TeserYa-
tion during President CleyelaDd's adj
ministration, relates the following
circumstance as showing that the In
dian, however averse he may be to
any kind of useful labor, is not slow
to avail himself Of a new source OF
amusement. Among the supplies
| sent by the Government to the agency
were several hundred large irving
pans with long handles. These the
colonel found in stock when he took
possession, and at the end Of a year
the number had not been diminished.
Thinking that perhaps he had not
discharged his whole duty in the mat
ter of supplying Uncle Sans wards
with these culinary utensils, the col
| onel began making special efforts to
! induce the Indians to use them. AT
first it was uphill work, but by the
time he had given out about two
| dozen, there came a sudden change.
, Not day passed that he did not
have applications for at least dozen,
and some day he disposed of twice
| that number
When the supply was nearly cx-
/ haustcd, he noticed among the appli-
cants some to whom he haG previously
| given pans, and he became curious to
know what use they were making of
Them. He questioned several of the
men to no purpose, but at length
! young buck, more communicative
than the rest, gave him to under
/ stand that if he would visit a certain
part of the reservation, not far away,
he would find his INJURY answered.
The next day. therefore, he rode
out in the direction indicated. After
two miles from the agency he noticed
on the crest of narrow spur of the
mountain three or four Indians who
suddenly disappeared on the opposite
side of the ridge. At the same time
i he heard, family, the cry Of many
voices.
On turning to the point of the
/ ridge he saw crowd of several hun
! dred Indians, who were shouting as
if greatly excited. He noticed also
several objects, which he at first sup
posed to be boulderS, descending the
side of the mountain toward them,
with frightful rapidity. Instead OF
| fleeing from these moving objects, the
Indians simply clapped their hands
and shuutol. Soon he saw other oh.
jetJs, Ike the first, descending, and
in a short time he was able TO take in
the whole situation.
, Having selected a long, smooth
slope of the mountain, where there
were no stones, the Indians had con.
verted 1t into a sort of earthen tobog.
gan slide, and were utilizing the fry
ing-panS as tObagsans. Seating them.
selves in the pans, they graSped the
handles with both hands: then, cross,
ing their legs over their arms, they
went spinning down the slide with
great rap!dity. The Colonel let them
have the few UanS that remained in
the Storehouse, but did not order =
new supply.

HEAVY EASTERN TRAVEL
People Taking Advantage of tho II
duced Railroad Fares.

People Taking Advantage of the Re-
duced Railroad Fares.
The reduction of railroad fares to $50
for the round trip to Chicago and return
has had the effect of greatly increasing
the overland travel. Speaking of the eff
feet of the reduction, the San Francisco
Chronicle says:
"a rush of travel to the East has set in
within the last few days. All the ticket
offices are doing lively business, al
though the direct lines to Chicago have
the call. For some reason the tide of
travel began to swell at the moment the
new $50 Worlds Fair rate went into eff
feet.
''For the past few days the Central Pa
clhc express has been pulling out with
seven to eight sleepers-generally eight
and the travel is on the increase. If it
gets much heavier the overland express
Will have to be run in two sections. 1t is
now rather heavy hauling to make good
time and connections. Carrying so many
passengers also overcrowds the capacity
OF the dining car and causes delay and
discomfort. Two sections would necessi-
tate two dining cars, and the prospect is
that it will come to that pretty soon.
ON Thursday the dining car between
San Francisco and Sacramento will be re-
placed by one of more modern equip
ment and larger capacity. The Castle
Crag" will be the first diner to 90 out un-
der the new arrangement.

grain is still slow moving to tide water"
