One of the most valuable minera pro
auctions of Nevada is borax, which is
found in the marshy lands about the sinks
of rivers, most plentiful in Esmeralda
county. At RagtOwn, near the sink of
Carson river, works are erected for the
separation of the borax from the crude
material with which it is mixed, the
whole being hauled from extensive de-
posts in the marshes about twenty miles
east of that place. There it is found "
i'm in detached masses over thousands of
acres. 1t is usually combined with soda.
magnesia, salt and other materials. Its
separation is effected by series of set
ting watts, evaporation, and chemical pro-
cesses. Similar works are in operation
at Wordsworth, the raw material to sup
ply them being brought from Hot Springs
some fifty miles east on the line of the
Central Pacific Raj road. The deposits
are pract cally inexhaustible.

Closets in the House.

Having suffered some for closet room
at one time and another, or for places to
stow away things, have had considerable
sympathy with that man who said that when
he built house he should begin with big
closet and make additions to that When
| speak Of closets my husband understands
me, but Immediately begins to talk about
modes Of ventilating closets, and | have
only gradually grown to understand his
strong sense Of the necessity for closet yen-
tilation. Having for several years hung
the clothing of the family in rooms where
there was a free circulation of air, | am sur
prised when | 90 into the wel-fnished
elothes-rooms (let US call them close rooms)
in some fne houses to find how dead and
unwholesome not to say foul--the air is
The soiled garments, hung in tight and
dark room, contaminate the whole apart
ment, and such contamination is very per-
ceptble to a well-trained nose or to olfac-
tories accustomed to the refinement of habi-
tual pure air. Old boots and shoes cause
bad smell in a close room.
To pursue an unpleasant subject little
farther-why icU people keep the dirty
clothes designed for the weekly wash in a
close closet2 That which has come from
the skins of unclean or unhealthy persons
(the latter adjective describes nine.tenths
of the human family grows constantly
more impure shut away from light and air,
and everything kept in the same room is
contaminated by the efiiuyia. Cannot soiled
garments be kept, while waiting for the
wash, in some bag or covered basket in the
wood-shed, or some such place There are
baskets on purpose for soiled clothing, open
enough for ventilation but too fine to ad.
NIT mice.
Unless a closet is ventilated so that there
is some circulation Of air through it, it is
no place to hang away night-gowns, unless
they have previously been aired, so that the
perspiration accumulated in the previous
night---only insensible perspiration, perhaps
has been dried and summed away.
| have no means Of ascertaining this
morning how far science has attended to this
subject Of closet ventilation but am very
sure that it is an important matter, and
should be well looked into. OF course
there can be closets with windows in them,
and this should generally be the case.
They can be kept dark, as a general rule,
if desired, but it ought to be possible to ad'
nit flood of light
Closets built under stairways might be
ventilated by crate closed by sliding
shutter under one Of the stairs. 1t would
be well to have the crate capable Of being
shut to keep out dust when the stairs are
swept | do not know whether this has
been tried, but the idea has occurred to me
as practicable. A sliding window in the
closet door is also possible. The small
sliding window in the door, and the CRATE
in the elevation of one Of the stairs, ought
to give a sufficient circulation Of air to q
small stairway closet.
1t is idle to suppose that closet (or any
other room) is provided with ventilation
because 1t is built large and high. There
must be some circulation of air, or atmos

A Sell---Not a Sale.

Amiable shopkeepers deserve to be canon
lied Here is an illustration of the trials
to which they are constantly subjected.
One midsummer day, when Eolus slept,
and the thermometer stood in the nineties,
lady entered a store not thousand miles
off, and inquired for parasols. The obliging
proprietor spread out before her samples Of
large and varied stock.
"Have you any of this shade size
larger ?" said the lady.
The size was produced.

The required shade was brought out.

The shade with the crooked handle ap.

continued her inquiries for every conceiv-
able size, shade and weight possible in the
line of parasols.
After nearly an hour had been consumed,
the fair shopper gathered up her handker.

the exhausted proprietor.

being than we think. Plenty Of it is as
necessary for people as for plants. The
diseased fat livers Of geese, which are con.
sidered such delicacy by some epicures,
are only produced by keeping the animals
iu dark cellar during the necessary
examining process. Animals waste in mus
cular strength, as do plants, when kept in
the dark. Sunlight is tonic. Miners.
aud workmen employed in ill-lighted shops,
are found to bo especially liable to catarrh
in the mucous membranes, aaccidity of the
soft parts of the body, swellings and dis
tortions Of the bonny system, and an undue
preponderance of the Emphatic system.
The eye, which is the most sensitive part Of
the body to the action of light, becomes en-.
feebled and diseased by long seclusion in
the dark, and sudden change from a dark
place to strong light is dangerous. The
glare of the snow is very trying to the eye,
and the reflection from white walls in
sun-lighted room is also to be avoided.
There is nothing in this world which may
not become injurious in excess, but the good
ness is not disproved by the harm thus
caused.
