with modern refinement. To begin with. thew

Jealousy, says Arthur Helps, the well known
English essayist, is at once the meanest and the
most unaccountable of vices. What belongs to us
we shall have inevitably, and what we want and
have not we shall never win by unreason, If we
are lovely we shall be loved and if we are un-
lovely we shall not be loved no matter whether
any one takes its place or not. jealousy of the
wealth, the social importance, or the happt-
ness of others, is alike unaccountabe and absurd.

our poor fare seem poorer because our neigbor is

their accounts, usually, with very toleraple firm

CHERRY PICTORIAL will and does relieve and

yield to its power; and cases of Consump-

AS remedy it is adequate, on which the public
may rely for full protection BY curing Coughs,
the forerunners of more serious disease, it saves
unnumbered lives, and an amount of suffering
not to be computed. It challenges trial. and con-

which are easily met at first, but which become
incurable, and too often fatal, if neglected Ten

be without it. AS q safeguard to children, amid

is invaluable; for, by its timely use, multi

saved to the love and affection centred on them.

Originally the product of long, laborious, and

The people of Carson can know com.
paratively nothing of the dimensions OF
trade in this place until they have studied
the dimensions of ellison & Davis's new
store. 1t measures 40 feet in length by
81 in width. The ceiling of the first story
is IA feet from the floor. You stand at
one door and you overlook with one view
all that is going on within from street
to street. This floor is entered by
which in the reception and discharge
of heavy orders is convenience OF
the highest importance. This comes
from having store situated on three
streets. A hand-car way runs through
the entire length of the building from the
scales in front - the hoisting works at
the back door. Underneath is a capa-
cious cellar measuring 26xSO and 81 feet
deep in which groceries, liquors and
other articles injurable by heat and dry
atmosphere may be kept cool and moist.
This cellar must be of great advantage to
the trade of these enterprising merchants.
The upper story occupies the same
surface space as the story underneath.
1t is to be separated from the same by
tireprOof composition encased between
flooring above and the rafters beneath:
SO that if one of these stories should
take fire and be consumed the other
would remain intact. The upper story
has six large dormant windows, which
light up the apartment so as to render
every crack or speck on the floor dis
tinctly visible. To render the building
tireproof from above, the greatest pains
have been bestowed upon the roof. And
there is hardly possibility of its catch
ing fire from the sides as they are COM
posed of mortar and rock twenty inches
in thickness.
When complete, the external appear
ance of this mammoth store will be inn
posing and in the highest degree
suggestive of the heavy business car
ried on inside. The roof will be
painted a dead metallic red color, the |
stone walls will retain the original
color of the rock, and the projecting |
dormant windows will be made white. |
The ends of the building will stand |
square, fronting parallel streets. A
hosting machine is to be seen at the |
west end by which heavy wares may be
EASILY transferred from cellar to story or
rom Que story to the other. At this end
S to be prepared n heavy iron easement
% cover the entrance to the cellar, over
which loaded teams may pass without
damage.
We know of no more gratifying evil
lence of Carson's growing prosperity
han this mammoth store OF Davis Il
and while the col..munity have
ust reason to congratulate themselves
herefor, they should not overlook the
act of equal Importance to their inter-
.sts, that men of such energy and enter
rise must be patronized and sustained.
