stockmen have been very fortunate this
winter, considering the long season of deer
snow, and the unusual high prices of hay.
1t Is estimated that the total average loss oi
stock will not exceed per cent. Many
stock men with herds OF thirty to sixty
head of cattle are reported to have wintered
without the loss of a single hoof. The re-
port that the Indians on the reservation had
lost nearly all their stock Is also said to be
an immense fabrication. A few bands of
cayuses have suffered great loss, but in no
instance has the loss been over 25 per cent.
Near the mission, there was a band of Fly
horses that wintered on the open hills with
out any attention whatever.

Womens clubs to-day, in town or in
country, are almost always distinctly
educational in their aims and purposes.
Many clubs lay out courses in philo-
sophie and historic study which cover a
wide range of literature, and make i'm
perative close and scholarly toll on the
part of those who write papers and
those who intelligently discuss them
A woman's club without paper or pa
pers taking up definite line of thought
or research is a very singular phenome-
non. We do hear now and then, and
we rejoice to hear, of girls clubs, just
for fun, for recreation pure and simple,
but the members of these usually feel
that they ought to apologize for their
frivolity.
Americans learn very slowly that
there is nothing wrong in the pursuit
of enjoyment per Sc. We are sober,
reflective, serious people. Our women
are, above everything else, conscien-
tious, even to severity. and they feel
quite naturally that after the social
luncheon or before the afternoon cup
of tea they should in some way devote
themselves either to the improvement
of their minds or to the amelioration of
certain ills, the reformation of some
abuses, or the assistance and elevation
OF people who are down-trodden and
oppressed. -Harper's Bazaar.

The FamilY Council.

The table should be cabinet coun-
ell board as well as a place to eat.
Here the fathers and mothers meet
with all the family, as they seldom
meet at any other time. With most it
is their only time for sitting down
together. Why should not the
head of the family at this time
consider family matters and dis
cuss affairs of common interest? Is
there any reason why he should hold to
himself all the business affairs that all
are equally dependent upon and inter
ested in, and she, the mother, take no
counsel or get none concerning domes-
tic affairs? would advocate formal
council once day, when each one
shall ask advice of the other, and each
child in an orderly way shall state his
troubles and his problems. In such a
way our families may cultivate unity

PIANO TUNING.
A New and Profitable Employ ment That Is
Open to Women.

Much has been said about the differ
ent yocations whereby a woman can
earn a comfortable living, and, with
others, piano tuning is now enumer-
ated.
This occupation is not the easy one
that many imagine. 1t requires an ac-
curate ear, n strong arm, and much
practice, A young woman who is learn
ing to WELD the hammer, says 81 had
no idea it was so hard"
German, a professor of music, when
she told him what she was doing, said.
"You will never learn, you will never
learn, say. 1t is like music, it takes
a lifetime to learn it." She is disprov-
ing that, though, for she is making
rapid progress, and, although she has
been studying only two years, will, in
all probability, soon lie able to fine
tune" as it is called, u piano.
Cne should go into factory to learn
tuning. There are schools where pi-
ano tuning is taught, and there can be
no doubt that the training is excellent,
as far as it can be, still, to become Il
practical piano tuner, it is essential
that one should be where the instru-
ments are put together, so as to be able
to acquire an accurate knowledge of
the details.
The beginning is called chipping, "
that is, tuning the wires after the case
has been strung and before it is put in
in its proper place in the piano frame.
Often that chipping has to be done
two or three times, because the case
not being in firm position the wires
slip and fall. Rough tuning follows,
and after some repetitions the finishing
or line tuning puts the instrument in a
snita bic condition for the player
A great amount of work it seems,
and it is fact that it requires much
practice to become successful pia1 c
tuner.
The popularity of holding the ham.
mer, the thumb down with the little
hnger over the end of the handle, is an
intense strain on the hand and arm,
and the pins, (around which the wires
are fastened) being placed very firmly

some wonderful Things Which Have Hap
pened in the World OF Sport.
An enthusiastic sportsman in Port
Kenyon, Humboldt county, Cal, knows
plenty of queer things 81 have" he
says, "a true fish story for which l can
vouch. A gentleman living not a mile
from this town cast seven successive
lines with three flies on his leader and
securely landed out of Eel river seven
teen trout weighing over one pound
each. Three different casts yielded
three fish each, and two different casts
two fish each" The writer says this
is not fish ''story" and then goes on
to relate some more wonderful things.
MY SON." he says, skilled whole
snipe on the wing with his rubber
slung at a single shot" Inferentially
the young man frequently kills part of
snipe. On this particular occasion it
appears that he killed whole snipe.
This interesting writer says further
and with becoming modesty. 81 had
what | think a most extraordinary
thing happen to me. / was riding on
horseback from Eureka, when saw n
single duck flying toward me. The
duck made swoop down to slough,
running along the roadside, and settled
on the water. Being avery active
man, and having a way of alighting
from my horse at leap, / jumped
down and pretended to throw at the
duck. He dived and, the water being
clear, | kept sight of Mr. Duck, and by
throwing rocks and sticks kept him
unlpr WA tor until ba ryac CO paor1,,
drowned that was able to pick him
up and carry him home to Bear river
alive" The writer concludes by tell
ing of man who killed forty ducks at
one discharge of his gun, and of a
party of six hunters who killed over
one thousand wild fowl in one day.

UBIQUITOUS MICROBES.
The Little wretches Are Found Every.
where by Thousands of Millions.


where by Thousands of Millions.
DIR. Manfredi has been announcing
some disquieting facts concerning the
omnipresence of fatal microbes. In
the busy thoroughfare of crowded
city he has found 1000, 900 900 microbes
to gram of dust, and in the dirtiest
streets 5000, 900 per gram. A large
number of disease-producing microbes
were found among these, the number
of such morbific germs being directly
proportional to the aggregate number
of microbes. Of forty-two cases in
which he inoculated guinea pigs with
Neapolitan dust he detected the
tubercle bacilli (the germ of consump-
tlon) in three, the bacillus of pus in
eight, the bacillus of tetanus in two,
the bacillus of malignant oedema in
four, and other fatal bacilli. A medi-
cal paper suggests that the streets of
American cities should be tested for
microbes, and is confident that in
many of them a harvest as rich In
variety and deadliness as was garnered
in Naples could easily be secured EN-
phasis is given to DIR. Manfredi's alarm
ing statistics by the results of some in
vestigations which have been carried on
by Prof. Uffelman with respect to the
carrying of cholera bacilli by means
of letters, postal cards, etc. He in
fected letter with the bacilli and put
it in the ordinary way into post bag
In the course of twenty-four hours the
letter was taken out and the bacilli
were still living. They were also found
still living on postal cards twenty
hours after infection, but on coins
they seemed to die with great rapidity.
The reason for this difference could not
be discovered. On wooden and linen
stutfs the bacilli enjoyed a particular
ly long life. The busiest and most eff
fective infection carrier was found to
be the common fly. A fly which had
been infected by being put on to
mass of cholera bacilli was placed on
a piece of beef. When the beef was
examined soon after it contained an
enormous quantity of living bacteria.
Prof Utfelman deduces from his ex-
periments the oft-taught lesson that in
time of epidemics the most scrupulous
cleanliness is the best safeguard.

A Newspaper Woman.

Mrs. i. j. Nicholson, the proprietor
and editor of the New Orleans Plea
yune, is said to be the only woman in
the world who owns, edits, manages
and publishes great daily newspaper.
She was first contributor of poetry to
the columns of the Picayune, under the
name of Pearl Rivers and some years
ago was made literary editor of the pa
per by Col. A. NJ Holbrool, its editor
and proprietor, thus being the pioneer
newspaper woman in the south. After
a time she became the wife of Col. Hol-
brook, and at his death inherited the
paper, much incumbered by debt and
with dubious outlook. She assumed
the responsibility courageously, and
with able assistants, has put 1t again
on substantial basis. A few years
ago she married George Nicholson, who
was business manager of the paper.

Then again, the ear must be exceed
ingly true to detect the slightest varia-
ton in the sound three strings form
one tie, consequently they must har-

much so that tuner will notice the
wave in note to one uneducated, even
though he may have a good ear, would
seem to accord.
The remark of tuner that it would
be impossible for him to tune all day in
a factory, week in and week out as it
would certainly make him crazy, (piano
tuners are said to turn into cranks)
shows that it is also very wearing on
the nerves.
This all sounds discouraging, but
there are drawbacks to everything, and
piano tuning is not ''the exception to
prove the rule" and for any one having
the three requisites mentioned, a good
ear, plenty of physical strength, and a
willingness to practice laboriously,
there is no reason why it should not be
conquered as other difficult occupations
have been.
