EDUCATION QF GiRLS.
-teeing ninth what Cannot fall to bo of
Service to reroute
The subjeot oft the proper education of
women to meet the problems of the pre-
sent century is now a very live topic.
When one looks Around and out on the
mass: of women who are forced to rely
upon their own efforts, it is amazing
bow much they accomplish with the
slight equipment for such exertion that
many of thew possess,.
That women possess all the dualities
of men, except perhaps, physical
strength, no one now cares to deny, We
all know that down through the ages of
history women there have been who
have held positions of great responsibil-
ity; women who have risen to the very
height of power and influence; but such
women have been the exceptions of the
age .in which they lived.
Had all women enjoyed the mental
training that the men of their glass and
age received it is difficult to say what re-
sult might not have been accomplished,
That they have not had that training
is evident. We all know the history of
the courageous one who have at last
changed the current of popular thought,
so that all fields are practically open to
women.
How shall she best be trained to meet
all the new requirements? To the ques-
tion, What education shall woman
have? the answer now is, All she wishes
or can receive.
The problems that confront her to-
day are varied, and the calls upon her
are unceasing.
First, she should be taught to take
care of her health, so as to be sound
physically; without that she cannot
hope to be sound and strong mentally.
The only reas=on why there 1s any need
to discuss the question placed at the
head of this letter is that she has not
always had the facility for mental train-
ing that her brothers have had.
Look at the great army of noble wo-
men of the past and present. Take our
lessons from those who have made the
world better by living in it Do we not
find in their lives that they possess the
most beautiful of all traits—self control.
This has not been obtained by an idle
life nor by efforts to assert themselves,
to secure for themselves the .greatest
amount of comfort, but rather by quiet
self sacrifice and by self training, first
in study and next in intercourse witb
the world, and by such self discipline
that all her faculties respond to hoz
, will.
Her perceptive faculties should be
well cultivated, so that she colnpre.
. hends quickly, sees at a glance what is
to be done, and taught absolutely to re-
ly upon her own ability to do what is
required, These things aro innate in
most women. They should be develop-
ed to their utmost limit.
Then woman needs to be taught that
accuracy and attention to detail should
not necessarily result in a narrowing of
her mental horizon.
Systematic regulation of daily habits
are of vast importance, and should be
insisted upon in early life, trained in so
thoroughly and persistently that one is
.able to arrange for all calls upon time
•and effort unconsciously. This, must be
done early in life, however, and must
be judiciously done, or the result will
be fussiness,
. The reasoning faculties must not be
'overlooked; perhaps that can best be
done by a thorough grounding in mathe-
matics, which most *omen dislike.
Their intuitive intincts are in the way
there, for it is easier to jump at a con -
elusion, nine times out of ten, and jump
right, too, than• to • take the time to fol-
low out a long chain of to them useless
deductions, only to arrive at what they
I -.new all the time
While some contend that mathemat-
ics are the best aids t a broadening of
those,faculties that w nen are supposed
to lie most deficient i it seems to me
that a general training in the field of
literature will be of incalculable benefit.
History particularly -should not be
overlooked—not the niers study of
events, but what influen' es and causes
were at work upon the lives and cheerio
ters of the people who have preceded es
and are a1 out us now, and who have
controlled individual and social devel-
opment.
I think that and kindred subjects tend
to widen the mental scope, and to give a
clearer and sounder judgment. All
women should be encouraged in taking
up systematically those subjects that
tend to lift them abovethe routine work
which they are apt to fall into by the '
constant attention to home duties. It
is fully demonstrated now that there
need be no fear that by aiding in an all
round culture for women they will give
less attention to their household duties.
It will, I know, help them to a more
intelligent performance of those same
duties.
.A. harmoniously educated woman will
rise to any emergency; will be ready to
meet any problem of this or any other
age.
Teach them to use every faculty that
God has endowed them with. A woman
• nay be taught to care for her house, to
do with her own hands every part of the
work required, for it is only by "doing'
that we are well taught.
She may ride, dance, sing, and in fact
have all tho accomplishments that will
add to her attractiveness, which last is
of great importance in this ago,. If
women are to be earnest workers
they must not forget their claim
to 'beauty, bat see always that the
ii proper attention is given to the adorn-
ing ofth.r
their outward u persons gl e sons as well as `
to the cultivation. of their intellects.
Women should be taught to dress well.
Personal presence is an element of power
lit both ;lien and women, In fact X do th
not know that women need be taught or d
educated so much as to be given snore
freedom to use fully and without harsh 'u
czitieisin what they know so well how
tool without being taught.

THE ARIZONA KICKER.
An Ftubarrassing State of Affairs t
•�� Clinch 'Valley Boys.
AN EMBARRASSING' SITUATION.=.Wh
we were simply editor of the ,Kicker
Clinch Valley cowboys were our frien
and used to keep as dead broke by coa
ing us into that fascinating game Calle
poker. We took in the town with t
boys and were a boy among the
When elected mayor of the town w
had to put on the brakes.. It was
until after we had shot two or three of !
them that they would credit us with be-
ing serious, For the last six months the
crowd has wanted our scalp. They have
been afraid to come into town, and we
have been afraid to ride through the
Valley. Whenever we have heard of
one within the town limits we have
mounted our mule and had from two
to six shots at him, Whenever we have
taken the trail to the south we have
been hustled back to town on the dead
run. That is the present status of the
case, and it is rather embarrassing all
around. General Dawson, who has ac-
quired the reputation of "The Arizona
Peacemaker," left for Clinch Valley
yesterday to see if the chasm could not
he bridged. We are willing to take a
drink with the boys . and bury the
hatchet though we must insist on their
good behavior when in town. If they
are tired of hunting for our ears the
general will probably succeed in bring-
ing about a state of peace. They are a
hundred to one, but they must have
learned by this time that we are no
bluejay. _
TOLD Heat So.—When Professo4.$as-
en called on his honor the mayor eveh
is ourself) a week ago td secure a keens
to exhibit his panorama of Jerusalem
and the Holy Land, we told him the
our people were rather peculiar, .an
that he had better arrange to .open witl�
a dog fight and close with a mock battle
in which about.a dozen Apaches should
be laid out. The professor was firm in
his way and refused to be guided by our
advice. His exhibition took place Mon-
day evening to a full crowd, but he
hadn't shown over half the walls of
Jerusalem, before the disappointed
crowd rase up and began to shoot holes
through his oanves and broke up the
show. Later on theygot the professor
by the neck and made him return all
the admission money. Just as we told
him—they felt they had been defrauded.
They wanted a combination of past and
preseut—some dog fight, and then some
• walls of Jerusalem; some temples and
tombs, and then a scrap between two
lightweights. Had the professor fol-
lowed our advice he would have cleared
a pot of money and been invited to re-
turn at an early day. As it was, he lost
about sixty dollars and came near being
lynched for a traveling fraud. As a
people we have our idioms, and it's no
use to buck ag'in'em.
As AN ''XPE1tnXENT.—An individual
calling himself "Terrible Joe" came
into town last week along with Colonel
Davidson's drove of mules. The boys
fought rather shy of him, as he had the
look of a bad pian. To his great sur-
prise, Joseph learned that church ser-
vices 'were held in this town on Sunday,
and that the editor and proprietor of the
Kicker passed the - contribution box and
led the choir, He gave out that he
should try an experiment Sunday even-
ing, and we were looking for him. Soon
after the sermon had begun "Terrible
Joe" stalked in and began to act like a
boss heeler at a ward caucus. We let
him go on for about three minutes and
then we tackled him. We got our nose
skinned and one eyebrow nearly knock.
ed off, but after mopping Joseph around
the house of the Lord for about ten
minutes we dragged him out and left
him on the earth ahumbled and contrite
man. In feet, he didn't come to for
about twenty minutes, and the first
thing be wanted to know was if the
whole 720 mules in the colonel's drove
had all kicked him with both feet at
once. He had two guns, a knife and 50
spare cartridges, all of which we took
possession of and shall sell • at auction
for the benefit of the road fund. It is
perhaps needless to add that after over-
coming Joseph we returned inside and
pitched the tune of the closing hymn
and led the singing with our usual zeal.
We are not a member of the church.
We swear and play poker and own a
running mule and are wicked in other
directions, but we know what belongs
to deceinoy and civilization. .Any other
critter who may itch to try a similar ex-
periment will be certain to find us on
deck and ready for business.—M'. Quad,
In Kingston News.
;Weet Ye. Soar-�Iftesuit of an Itbgperinsout
in Feeding Swine.
Nature feeds the pig on sweet milk,
feeds it warm and feeds it often,
Nature, therefore, teaches the value of
sweet milk fed to pige. She enforces
the same lessons on the growth of the
calf and eyery other animal, No mother
who is compelled to feed her child out
of a bottle would ever think of feeding
it milk that was in the least degree
soured, or even ""blink." She knows
that the result would be iudigestion,and
if the weather conditions were right,
pain to the and possiblchild, sell of sick nese
Never-
theless there is a feeling among farmers
that there is something to be gained by
souring feed for hogs, They maintain
its that there is nothing that will put a
shine on the skin of a hog equal to
corn soaked day after day in the same
the ( water. It is also a very well-known fact
that in the summer season nature de-
lls . mands acids.
x-' In a very hot day the fountain in the
h o ; city, where clean, lee -cold buttermilk is
n1. ;served fresh from the churn will have
more patrons than a beer saloon. We
nob ; have a suspicion that acidity means
serious damage to the young, that there
is a stage when the kind of acidity we
get in buttermilk --bonny clabber—and
clabbered milk, is healthful, The Ex-
periment Station of Vermont has re-
cently been making experiments which
seem to show that there is more value
in the lactic acid of buttermilk than we
have been supposing, and we suspect
that, as in so many other cases, there is
an atom at least of truth in the position
taken by the farmers as to the value of
acids in aiding the digestion of pigs.
In this experiment it is maintained that
where pigs are fed on .clabbered milk as
against sweet milk, the gain on the
clabbered milk was 1.80 lbs. per flay,
while on the sweet milk a gain of .07
lbs. only was made per day, The ex-
perimenter also •claims that recent ex-
periments in Germany show that lactic
acid, like many of the vegetable acids,
is an aid to digestion and has real feed-
ing value. This is another of the points
that needs to bo gone into carefully by
our experiment stations. We want to
ascertain the truth and the whole truth
that may be underlying the belief of
fanners on this and'every other ques-
tion.—Western Swineherd,

and one-quarter clear, sharp sand and
common garden .earth. This eau be
made more sandy for those plants re-
quiring it such as •cacti, etc. Gerani-
ums need nearly a quarter sand to keep
them from going all to leaf. Fuchsias
need a free use of sand, with remainder
very rich soil and fibrous loam., Roses
require rich garden soil and sand suffi-
•cient to lighten it. Do not make the
mistake of using too large pots for
bloomers. Plants grown for their foli-
age need plenty of root space to encour-
age development Fuchsias need snore
room in proportion to their stalks and
foliage, than any other kinds. Bego-
nias, lantanas, heliotropes, etc., do well
in six-inch pots. As they increase in
size they should be repotted in eight -
inch pots if root bound. Always in
potting plants put bits of charcoal or
broken crockeryisl the bottom for drain
-
age, then pile with the prepared earth,
jarring to have it settle well. After
setting the plant press the earth firmly
around it, give a good watering, and set
in the shade for a few days.
. WATERING PLANTS,
As a general thing it is best not to
water until the surface looks dry; then
give a thorough watering, and any over -
plus runs out through the drainage into
the saucers and can be removed, unless
the soil is dry enough to soak it up. No
plants, except aquatics, will bear stand-
ing in the water any length of time.
Good drainage insures against moldy,
sodden soil. The fuchsia must be kept
moist through the growing and bloom-
ing period. Callas need to be kept wet
standing in tepid or hot water all the
time, according to the warmth or heat
of the room,, Tho chill should be taken
front the water -in winter. Plante that
have not been re -potted before going
into the windows need an occasional
fertilizer. Where barnyard manure can
be procured we keep some of it in an old
tin can in the wood house. When
frozen it is set on the stove and boiling
water poured over it. Then a table-
spoonful to a rluart of clear water is the
proportion we use. Half a pound of
guano in a large wooden bucket of water
is good. When dissolved, one to two
tablespoonfuls can be given twice a
week for a month to such plants as need
a stinlulatlt,
