LADIES SHOULD READ NEWSPAPERS
A great mistake in female education is to
Keep young lady's time and attention
devoted to only fashionable literature of
the day. If you would qualify her for
conversation you must give her something
to talk about give her education with
the actual world, with the outer world,
and its transporting events. Urge her to
read newspapers, and become familiar
with the present character and improve
ment of our race. History is Of some i'm
portance; but the past world is dead-we
have nothing to do with it. Our thoughts
and onr concerns should be for the pres
ent world to know what it is and to i'm
the condition of it Let her have an
intelligent opinion, and be able to sustain
intelligent conversation concerning the
mental, moral and religious improvements
Of our time. Let the gilded ANNALS and
poems on the center table be kept part of
the time covered with weekly and daily
journals. Let the whole family-men,
women and children--rcad newspapers. 1

The Dead Sea cf Nevada. De-
soription of Mono Lake.

There are many things in the Great Ba
sin, or along its rim, which excite the ~
terest of travellers. A correspondent ask
us to tell him "whether Mono Lake Is ic
tually the dead sea it is represented 10 -
| am told that it's bitter waters are tata
to all living things. If you can VIII ~.
please say something about thaC slhs LA n
BODY of water 2" We gather from the
REPORT on the mineral resources o. the
States and Territories west OF the ROCKY
Mountains" that Mono Lake lieS tea
miles south Invest of the dividing line De
tween California and Nevada, ard IS about
fourteen miles long and nine wide. II
has never been sounded, but trial said tc
have been made with a line three hundred
feet tong failed to reach the bottom. BY
chemical analysis, gallon OF water weigh
inc eight pounds, was found to. contain
800 Grains of solid matter, consisting
nrincipally of chloride of sodium, carbon
ate of soda sulphate of soda, borax and
SILICA. These substances render the wa
ter so acrid and nauseating that it is unfit
for drinking or bathing. Leather miners
ed in it is soon destroyed by It's corrosive
properties, and no animal, not even frog
or a fish, can exist in the water for more
than short time. 5
The only thing able to live within ri
upon the waters of this lake is species OF
ay, which, springing from Larvae bred IN
its bosom, after an ephemeral life, dies,
and, collecting on the surface, is drltted
p to the shore, where the remains collect IN
vast quantities, and are fed upon by TAG
ducks or gathered by the Indians, with
whom they are a staple article OF ROOD.
Nesting under the eastern water shed OF
the Sierra, Mono Lake receives several
considerable tributaries and, although
destitute OF any outlet, such is the arid!-
ty of the atmosphere that it IS always
kept at nearly uniform level by the pres
cess of evaporation. So dense and slug
gish is the water rendered through super
saturation with various salts, and other
foreign matters, that only the strongest
winds raise a ripple on its surface.
AS the Siearra in this neighborhood
reaches its greatest altitude, 5bc scenery
about Mono Lake, is varied and majestic,
some parts OF. it beng at the SANG, Snla
marked by a most cherries ANA ies9lafg
aspect. The bitter fatal waters Of this
lake render it virtually q dead sea, ami
all its surroundings wild gloomy aa,l
foreboding--are suggestive Of sterlli
and death. The decomposng action ~
the wateris shown by its effect upon the
bodies of company OF Indians, twenty
or thirty in number, who, while seeking
to escape from their white pursuerss cook

by their enemies who LETT theG in the

and was entertaining three children, who
were intently listening to her.
He apologised for his intrusion, and
begged to know il she understood music.

The people OF the States have the

will be able to get it. In the mean
time. she does not ask her Senators to
give other States an opportunity of'fas.
tening upon her a measure for which
she has neither taste nor need. If the
Chicago platform had any mean
ing, it meant that in the
'loyaP States at leass,F "the
question of suffrage belonged to the
people of those States" Such was the
understanding of the voters of this
State. If Senator WILEY. shall now
his people as desiring to
place the question of suffrage in West
Virginia beyond their own control, and
shall aid in enfranchising the blacks in
their midst, in opposition to their
well known views, he will be
wholly untrue to his duty as repre-
and will forfeit the conf
dence of the constituency whose sRthor-
