How TO KEEP TuINGs CooL.-Dur-
Ing hot weather 1t is a simpler, easier
matter to keep water cool and milk
from souring than most people sup
pose, without the use Of ice or wen
that amount Of expense or trouble.
rhe luxury Of a cool draught of water
may always be secured by simply
keeping the pitcher or other vessel
containing 1t wrapped or surrounded
with q towel, or one or two folds Of
cotton cloth, kept constantly wet.
All you have to do Is to wet it halt a
dozen times a day and the evaporation
of the water from this cloth will carry
of the heat from the inside and reduce
the water In the pitcher to a surpris-
ingly low temperature. Milk a
thus be kept for twenty-four hours
perfectly sweet eve in the hottest
weather, and a big tin box kept on
veloped in wet cloth will be found a
most excellent domestic arrangement
to keep butter, meat or food in rs we'll
rs to keep flies out. Relative to this
method Of cooling water, or keeping
It cool, the Scientific Press says: In
India and other tropical countries,
where ice cannot be procured, this
expedient Is common. Let every me-
chanic and laborer have ut the place
OF his work two pitchers thus provided,
and with lids or covers, M to supply
water for the evaporation, and he can
always have a supply of cold water in
warm weather. Any person may test
this by dipping a finger in water and
holding 1t to the air on q warm day
after doing this two or three times he
will find his finger uncomfortably
cool. This plan will save the bill for
fee, besides being moro healthful.
y'he free use of ice water often pro-
.duces arrangement Of the Internal
organs: which, we conceive, Is due to
rthe property of the water independent
of Its GOODNESS.
Our PRosrEcTrNG.-The burglarious
expert, whom we cautioned our citi-
1ens against yesterday, says the Carson
Register, finding that his game was
blocked here, went to Sheriff Swift
Yesterday morning and requested to
be "let% alone" stating that he did not
intend to burglarize Carson, but would
leave for Silver City in the afternoon.
We do not know whether he left or
not, but it will be we'll enough to keep
a sharp look out for him while he Is In
reach. This burglarious expert, OF
whom the Register speaks, came up TO
Virginia on the 6 o'clock train from
Carson last evening. He will not
probably stay there long unless no
stays too long.
MINE PROPERTY SoLD.-The Enter
prise says: We are informed that
Messrs. Park i, Bowie have bought
the old Gould Curry mill, at the
junction of Six And Seven-mile Can
yons, with all the buildings and prop
erty of every kind thereto pertaining !;
also the Toll-road and its belongings.
leading from this city to the mill and
through the canyon to Carson Valley.
This property originally cost an im-
mense sum Of money, what with SHOPS,
offices, stables, fountains, stone walls
and improvements Of ali kinds. what
Il sold for we have not heard, but
DOUBTLESS a mere fraction Of a fraction
of its nrst cost.
REruRsED.-The Carson Register
SAYS: Our senior boss, who IS also
State Printer Of Nevada, returned yes
.terday from his soda "ranch" in Wy
.oming, looking healthy and hopeful;
The soda company Is to be Incorporated
in San Francisco within a few days.
Warm weather and the drying up Of
the principal'lake from which the sous
"a chiefly obtained, has greatly i'm
