Two SOLDIERS DEowNED.-Iesterday
afternoon two soldiers-priyate Moore,
clerk Of Company X. and private Nc.
Laughlin, of Company ID, United
States Artillery-both stationed at
Alcatraz Island, obtained permission to
70 fishing on the bay between the island
and Saucelito. They took small sail
boat belonging to civilian on the
island. and. not understanding the
method in which sail-boat should he
managed in . chopping wind. the vessel
was capsized. The two soldiers chung
to the keel Of the boat aud called for
assistance. Some of the soldiers on
Alcatraz witnessed the disaster and
launched a barge. while the Saucelito
steamer, which was passing at tho time.
also dispatched boat for tho rescue OF
the drowning men. But before assis-
lance could reach them they were washed
of and drowned. The boat was subse-
uuently picked up and brought to Front
street wharf. The bodice of the unfor-
tunate men have not yet been recovered.

following is an extract
High living aud sunshine did it.
When l left Virginia City ! was VI
talized cadaver-a mere cOrporcal hal
lucination, and now I combine in my
longitudinal individuality the pom
derOus corporOsity of George Tutly
with the muscular agility of Roman
wrestler. Four days ago my corpus
served as a temporary receptacle FOR
Coles bittereSt nOStrums. Yesterday
| made a foot Journey Of five miles
over the toughest road in America.
and satiated my ravenous appetite
with innumerable libatiOns Of deli
cious buttermilk. Know all men by
these presents, that Dayton is, and of
right ought to be, the most desirable
locality in Western Nevada for san
itarium. The town is q pretty, quiet,
cleanly, little burg, looking for all the
world, like the maple-shsltered towns
and villages of New England. Owing
to its typographical surroundings,
Dayton is completely sheltered from
the sweeping Washoe zephyrs and
bitter Winter blasts which SO gener-
ally prevail in other localities. The
well.water here is cool and delicious.
The swiftly-flOwing Carson is con-
slant guarantee of health, comfort and
cleanliness. The citizens are intelli-
gent, polite aud hospi:able, and al
though the town, like successful old
merchant. has retired from active
business, yet it retains in its peaceful
retiracy an element Of refined taste
which adorns and beauties a home,
and which renders even q ruin at
ractive aud fascinating.

PYRAMID LAKE MIxEs.-A strike was
made in the Bishop mine yesterday at
Pyramid Lake. Samples OF the ore
we're shown us this afternoon. and they
show very we'll. The noticeable change
is from the yellow chloride on the sur
face to the green chloride and copper
stain. Old miners will understand the
inheritance OF this change, and cOmpe-
tent judges estimate that this ore will
ASSAY at least 80 per cent, more than the
original ledge material. The new ore
body is At least 4 feet in width. and if
these mines keep on improving. we will
cease talking Of ore and confne our
selves to bullicn.-[ Reno Gazette, 9th.

Kid Gloves,

KID gloves imported for the fall re-
tain the plain, simple styles lately
Worn. The snowy embroidery form
erly displayed on the back of gloves is
no longer used. Their beauty now
consists in their fine fabric, appro-
pirate color, and, more than all, in
their perfect fit, with seams neatly
overstitched and following the out
lines of the hand. Long-wriSted
gloves that give slender shapeliness to
the hand are preferred. Those fas-
tened by three OF four buttons are
now chosen for general wear, while
for full-dress occasions they are so
long that from four to twelve buttons
are required to fasten them. The
white kid binding on the wrist Of the
glove is the only ornament commend
ed. Old fashioned medium and nell
trail tintS Of gray and brown are very
largely imported. link Shades" how
ever, predominant, and will, it is said,
be the most stylish choice, as they
will match the dark costumes to be
worn in the winter. These are nearly
black, and consist of ink blue, ink
gray or irOn-color, myrtle green, seal
brown and plum-colOr. The dark iron
grays and the brown shades are almost
unlimited, and the green tints are as
the leaves of the forest. Ladies who
are fond of contrasts will prefer to
relieve dark costumes by wearing
light gloves, such as the new greenish
cream-cOlor and many unbleached yell
low shades; the latter are deeper and
darker in gloves as well as in dress
goods. For Semi-dress there is a great
variety of the popular wood shades,
ranging from pale oak and ash tints
to dark walnut brown. There are al
50 many drab and other nondescript
hues, that fastidious people prefer
to the cream and lavender shades
that are now SO universally
worn. Undressed kid gloves that
fit the hand as though it We're
nodded in them come in these neutral
and nondescript shades, and also in
dark walnut and seal brown. These
dark shades are not open to the objec-
ton of showing soil so easily as the
medium colOrs, and will be much worn
by those who could not hitherto afford
the luxury of this beautiful glove.
White, light gray, brown and ecru is
the usual range of color. Dealers in
gloves import three kinds of each size,
and ladies, when ordering their gloves,
should tell whether they are short
fingered, medium, or long-fngered, in
order to insure a perfect fit. Gloves
fastened by but one button are $1.75
pair, those with two buttons are 50;
with three buttons, they are S2.35 a
pair, OF $3.50 for half a dozen pairs.
The stylish four-button glove is $2.75
pair; full-dress gloves, fastened by
six buttons, are 1925; the elbow
gloves, fastened by ten or twelve but
tons, are SIS or Sc. Ladies who study
economy, and at the same time want
to be well gloved, use the undressed
kid glove for all occasions, even when
full dress is required. 1t is true, they
soil easily, but they are also easily

Teaching Blind Japanese to
Read.

AN American missionary in Japan
has devoted his attention to the philan-
thropic work of providing literature
for the blind in that country. This
was no easy task, for, although raised
type could be made without difficulty,
to make a raised type in japanese that
would be legible to the touch required
considerable ingenuity. In the Kata-
kama, or current language of Japan,
there are seventy-eight characters,
which represent as many sounds, and
many of them so closely resemble each
other and are, beside, so intricate in
their composition as to present diff
Guilty in the way of their application
to blind syllabary, which can only be
imagined by students of the language.
This difficulty was overcome by apply
ing the Romanized equivalents (Which
are seldom Of more than two letters
each, and never exceed three.) of the
sounds to the foundation of sylla-
barry.
The success of this system has been
unequiyocal and complete. Pupils
learn the new language with marvel
Gus facility, and the Government of
Japan, it is stated, is taking measures
to have it introduced into the blind
schools and asylums throughout the
empire. 1t is probable that at some
future day the education Of the blind
in Japan and elsewhere will reach a
point far beyond that which has been
hitherto attained. There is really no
reason why blind persons should not
distinguish themselves in various ways.
The absence Of one sense renders the
other senses more keen, and the blind
are often remarkable for an intelli-
gence and reasoning power not to be
| found in many persons blessed with
good eyesight that does not even re-
| quire the aid of spectacles. Pal Mall
