GIRLS As FARMERS.
Fifty Young Women In the North
west study Agriculture.

Fifty girls have taken up the study OF
scientific farming at the MnrSea polls
College Of Agriculture and If the inno-
walton shall prove successful it will nat
urally spread 10 other agricultural states.
Heretofore one great drawback 10 farm
ing has been the difficulty of keeping the
boys upon the farm. With trained and
educated girls taking up the profession,
the old homestead farming would take n
new charm, and the rush OF farmers sons
TO the cities would be checked If not en-
tireiy done away with.

"our plan embraces work designed not

more skiliful in the work OF the house,
but also disciplinary studies and culture

Picture Cleaning.

II there is any subjec; in which the aver
age picture collector is interested it IS that
of the proper cleansing of pictures. Prof.
Church to whcm has been isirusted the
cleaning of the pictures in the houses or
and curious apparatus for the purpose. In
the London atmosphere pictures are at
tackled by fog. SCOT. sulphuric acid and
other products of coal combustion. which
reach even pictures that are under glass.
Prof Churehs treatment is 10 blow upon
the spoiled picture perfect cloud of bread
crumbs Two crumbed-up quartern ioaves
are put into his machine, which is run by
compressed air. and which discharges the
crumbs through a tube upon any part OF
the picture. This is no doubt an effective
way OF removing SCOT and dirt: but it is
obvious that If the treatment be continued
too long IL may remove some of the paint
ing also. The trials so far made, however,
seem to have been satisfactory.
In obstinate cases the picture is also
washed with distilled water and clicked
with silk handkerchiefs containing pads OF
cotton wool" In some cases il has been
found necessary To restore" parts Of the
paintings. and it is interesting TO note that
parchment size, size colors. a solution OK
parafiine wax in benzol. and pigments
mixed with the yolk OF egg have been used
for this purpose. 1t is possible that some
or the Westminster pictures may serve a
more useful purpose as the subjects OF

other way.-Art Amateur

How Horses Catch Cold.

Horses are very subject to nasal cafarrh,
and 1t Is widely prevalent belief among
coachmen that il horse goes into a fresh
stable, and especially If a horse which has
been out at grass goes into stable with
other horses. 1t will be most likely TO de-

horses bought al n fair. and this is popu-
larry attributed to the drafts to which they
have been exposed. AS Ii is admitted how
ever, that any other horses which may
have been in the stable generally catch this
cold from the newcomer. surely ii L. more
reasonable to suppose that the latter has
in like manner received the infection from
some of its neighbors while on sale
A medical friend of the writer's lately
made an interesting experiment He has
two horses, and has been in the habit OF
turning one out for the summer months.
When he brought il In again for the win

cold. Coachmen Will tell you that this is
due to the unaccustomed warmth of the
stable, which makes the animal ''nesh'

A Sister Lost.


AT one time when two Cheyennes got to
gambling. one lost and luck seemed TO be
against him. After he had lost every
piece Of property he had, In desperation he
put up his sister and lost her. This
aroused great Indignation through the
tribe. but no one intimated that the I'M
fortunate girl should not go and live as
the wife Of the man who had won her in
game OF cards. Over twenty years ago
the writer was superintendent of the Arap-
ahoe Indian school at Darlington during
a period of five years. During this time
not less than four young Indian women
came TO the school, asking admi.ianee

Snoaualmie Falls Power Co.

The siringing OF electric wires overheal
about the city has been carried as far as
is safe in the Judgment OF the board or
public works. The proposition Of having
all companies put their wires underground
within certain limits will at last come up
definitely for settlement before the city
council next Monday night when consider
aficu Is given the petition OF the SIoQuai-
n7le Falls Power Company for permission
TO erec, poles and string wires between
Seventh avenue south and Railroad avenue
and Yesler way and Weller street.
AZ that meeting two ordinances prepared
By the board Of pubic works Will be pre-
scented 10 the council. One will be grant
ing the petition Of the power company on
the condition that they string their lines
on poles already erected and In use. and
the other that all electric companies be at
the same time compelled TO go under
ground.
The latter ordinance will have the recon-
mendaiion OF the board OF public works
and will probably have the support OF a
ajor!ty in the council The ACCESSIBILITY
~ this step has long been under eonsidera-
ton and the electric companies of this city
will not be unprepared for such an order.
As has been previously stated in the Post
Inteliigenccr the attitude OF the compa-
nies In this city Is not unfriendly TO the
wires though they wish for time to accom-
piLsh the alteration gradually. The expense
of an immediate change would be great
and would mean. they say, the entire loss
of money invested in the systems on which
they now operate.
A representative OF the Snoqualmie Falls
Power Company said yesterday be- fore the
board that il wires were to be ordered I'M
dergorund he hoped the decision Of the
council would be made as soon as possible.
as this was the season when work on UNI
foreground conduits could be pressed to the
utmost advantage. The poles already up
and in use In the district covered in the
company's petition. he said. were too short
for the use OF the power company. His peo-
pie were willing 10 enter into an arrange
rnent with the companies now using these
poles, he said, whereby new poles. large
