PAINFUL ACCIDENT.-Last evening about
o'clock an accident occurred to Pony King.
the veteran stage driver, which may prove to
be of serious nature. He has room over the
carriage house, and upon coming out, it being
dark in that part of the building, trod upon a
loose board, which turned with his weight
and percipitated him distance of over Is
feet to the floor, breaking his collar bone. He
was conveyed Immediately to his room, and
medical aid called in. The physicians will set
the broken bone this morning. We trust the
sturdy fibre of which Pony is made will cause
him to prevail against his bad luck and very
soon set him on his feet in good health and
soundness of bone and marrow. For Pony IS
one of the old assortment of folk and not to
be spared from this scene of joys and sorrows.
PERSONALS Controller Hobart returned
from the Lake yesterday. Too cold up in
that portion of Douglas County. Private
Secretary Garrard is rapidly recovering from
his late indisposition. He was at his post in
the Gubernatorial chambers yesterday. P.
Lightle of Genoa was in town yesterday says
he is so busy he came down to rest. The
many friends of George R. Dobbs the polite
and gentlemanly conductor at the Mint, will
be glad to know he has returned and will be
on duty today. George is heavily interested
in some mining claims at the Great East and
has been attending to important law business
out there. Frank Drake District Attorney
of Storey County arrived by last nights train.
Presume he is on his mandamus business.

How Rubber Reots are Made.

The gum used Is imported directly
from Africa, South America, and Gen.
tral America, that from Central Amer
lea being best, while the African gum
is the poorest. The raw gum, which Is
nearly white, is ground several times
between immense fluted iron rollers,
after which it passes through the COM
position room, which process is secret,
but when it comes out the gum has the
black appearance of common rubber.
The next process is that of passing the
rubber between chilled iron cylinders,
of many tons weight, which are kept
very hot and very smooth. A part of
the rubber intended for "uppers." is
here spread upon and fastened to long
sheets of cloth. The heels and taps are
stamped out of sheets of gum of the re-
quired thickness. The rubber h is
now carried to the cutters room, where
it is cut out and sent to the boot
makers. The boots are made by men,
the shoes or ordinary rubbers by girls,
while the OvershOes are made by either.
One man will make twelve or fourteen
pairs of boots a day, and receive twenty
cents a pair. An active girl will make
from twenty-five to thirty pairs of rub
bers. After the bOOtmaker is through
they are placed in an oven. where for
twelve hours they are subjected to a
temperature of 800 degrees. They are
then ready for boxing and shipping. In
one factory about four thousand pairs
of boots. rubbers, and overshoes are
turned out dailv.

Ena Vienna Cafe.

The most comfortable place to study
the people OF Vienna Is in the large
windows of the cafe; here you can see
every one passing, as well as the peo-
pie drinking coffee or reading the pa
pers inside. Here you will find every
class of society at almost any hour of
the day. 4 few days ago | went to a
cafe, to amuse myself for an hour, and
had just comfortably seated myself,
and ordered ''Schwartzen," when
in came lady of about two hundred
weight, ard seated herself at my table,
with a dozen and a half of newspapers
of all descTiptiOns-Euglish. French
aud American illustrated papers-so
covering the table that, when the
waiter came with my coffee he was
obliged to clear space for the little
tray. This drove the old lady into a
passion, and her grumbling continued
till something in the kickeriki changed
the channel of her thoughts. After she
had finished all her papers, and had
looked around the cafe TO see if there
was anything else she could do. ven
tured to ask her il she had always lived
in Vienna, She said she had, and did
not propose to leave ii, and Immediately
sheasked me to what nation belonged.
Upon my saying | was an American,
she started and looked toward the door
as if about to run, but glance reas-
sured her, and she asked if it were safe
20 walk the streets OF America alone,
She said she had heard that every one
carried pistols or guns. To this [ re-
Piled she would be as safe as on the
streets of Vienna, if not more so. She
then wanted to know if it were safe to
ride in a railroad train there; she had
heard that they always ran of the track
and killed lots of people. | answered
this by saying that she might get her
life insured, and then she would be per-
fectly safe. This seemed TO be con-
undrum which needed more study than
sne could give in a cafe, so she arranged
her costume and departed much to my
relief.
A Vienna cafe is something different
from anything We have in America; it
takes the place in some respects, of our
-rOOms-that is, you can get all the
liquor you want, but you mnst drink it
straight, as the Austrians know nothing
about mixed drinks. Brandy, schnapps
and absynthe are the only liquors which
are drunk as a rule with water, while
schnapps is taken in small glass which
hold a thimbleful. Coffee seems TO the
Austrian what whisky is to the Irish.
When an Austrian feels as if he needed
something TO "brace mp on, he takes
''schwartzen," which is black coffee
without milk; if he be hungry, he takes
a white coffee, that is, with milk and
sugar, and takes long stick of bread,
which he puts in the coffee to soak it
up, the bread acting as a sponge. This
Is not an exceptional ease, but every
one does it. some even break it up and
wiring it with "a spoon into sort of
mush, which is not at all inviting.

he Courteous,

There are a thousand little courtesies
and salutations and compliments of
life, but it would be well if there were
still more of them. Bluntness does not
mean honesty, and a recognition of
whatever is good in men does not mean
insincerity. 1t would be promotive of
happiness if every time men descended
in the morning they would look for
that which is comely and praiseworthy,
and single it out, ard tell it to their
wives. Oh, if men would only court
after they are married as they do before,
what JOY there would be, What praise
there would be distributed among the
community, But the faults of men are
generally first thought OF, and are con-
demued. There are a multitude of
little, imperfect, irregular things in
human conduct; and mal says: 81
am not one Of those who go around and
fiatter folks; L tell them what | think
of them; if they have faults L hit them
strong" But it is not necessary TO be
hard and repellant and unsympathetic
in order to be honest. There is good
as well as evil in men, and it is surely
as worthy of recognition.-Christtan

Down in n Coal Mine.

The difficulty of obtaining coal at
greater depths than those now reached
is more formidable than is commonly
supposed. 1t is well known that at 4
depth of fifty feet below the surface of
the earth English geOlOgists mark a
zone of equable temperature, the ther-
mometer there showing fifty degrees.
Observation shows, too, that this tenn
perature increases at the uniform rate
of one degree for every fifty-five feet;
so that at the depth of 100 feet the
temperature is about seventy eight
degrees. One mine in England, i,64G
feet deep, is, lit is said, already worked to
great disadvantage, owing to the inabil-
ity of the miners 10 endure the steady
heat. In the collieTy the shaft is , ,316
feet deep, and the temperature is
ninety-eight degrees, or blood heat, and
there prolonged labor is impossible. The
limit of profitable mining, therefore, is
believed TO be about l,700 feet, and at
LOCO additional feet mining is imprac-
ticable. AT the depth of 1000 feet the
temperature would according to this, be
not less than l22 degrees, and at 10000
feet it would be at the boiling point, if
not higher,

Treating of the number OF possible
ways in which the fifty-two cards of a
pack may be dealt out to the four play
ers, one who knows bids us imagine
that filament of spiders web is only
one-milliOnth of an inch in thickness;
that such filaments are arranged side
by side in close contact; and these mil
honths of inches are continued from
the earth to the principal star in the
constellation Centaur; even then the
total number of filaments will only be
a mere fraction of the number of deal
variations he was treating of. In an
other case, relating TO the possible num-
Der of arrangements of all the cards in
pack mot the same thing as the dis
tributiOn in dealins), he imagined
phalanx of little cubes, each only one
millionth of an inch in the length of
each side, he calculated how many of
such cubes would be required to equal
the number he was concerned with; and
he found that if the tiny cubes were
packed together in a giant cube, this
giant cube would equal, in the length
of each of its sides, seven thousand
times the distance from the earth to
the sun.

Pleasure a. a. 1.e..siv. to Study.

Coming now to the influences OF con-
centration. We assign the first place to
intrinsic charm, or pleasure IN the act
itself. The law of the will, in its side
of greatest potency, is that pleasure
sustains the movement that brings IL
The whole force of the mind at the
moment goes with the pleasure-giving
exercise. The harvest of immediate
pleasure stimulates our most intense
exertions, if exertion serves to prolong
the blessing. So it is with the deepen
ing of an impression, the confirming OF
a bent or bias, the associatIng OF
couple or a sequence of acts COIN
Gliding burst of Joy awakens the atten-
ton, and thus leads to an enduring
stamp on the mental framework.
The ingraining efficiency OF the
pleasurable motive requires not only
that We should not be carried on into
an accustomed routine of voluntary ac-
tivities, such as to give to the forces
another direction, as when we pace to
and fro in q flower garden; but also
that the pleasure should not be in
tense or tumultuous. The law OF the
mutual exclusion of great pleasure and
great intellectual exertion forblds the
employment of too much excitement
of any kind, when We aim at the most
exacting of all mental results-the
forming of new adhesive growths. A
gentle pleasure that for the time con-
tents us, there being no great tempta-
ton at hand, is the best foster-mother
of our efforts at learning. Still better,
if it be growing pleasure a small be-
ginning, with steady increase, never
too absorbing, is the best OF all stimu-
lants to mental power. In order to
have q yet wider compass of stimula-
tion, without Objectionable extremes,
We might begin on the negative side.
that is, in pain or privation, to be
gradually remitted in the course OF the
studious exercise, giving place at last
to the exhilaration of q waxing pleas
ure. All the great teachers, from Soc
rates downward, seem to recognize the
necessity of putting the learner into q
state of pain to begin with a fact that
we are by no means to exult over,
although we may have to admit the stern
truth that is in it.-PopuLar Science

Human ChemicdLs.-Careful expert
ments. extending over a series of years,
plainly indicate that the food of a
healthy man, engaged in manual labor,
should contain a regular daily supply
of about 800 grains of nitrogen and
4,S00 grains of carbon. Among badly
ly-fed operatives, subsistence has been
known to be maintained on 10 grains
of nitrogen and 5000 grains of carbon,
but that was attended by feeble health.
The amounts required in health may
vary, according to circumstances, such
as temperature, the moisture of the air,
and the amount of muscular work per-
formed, but the average to be main
tanned is as already stated. Little or
nothing is known of the supply needed
for brain work, nor do scientists pre-
tend to understand much about the
needed supplies of elements present in
the body other than carbon and nitro
gen, nor even what difference it makes
whether they are supplied with regu-
larity or not.

AnimGlcules exist in prodigous num-
bers, and of many different kinds, their
size being such that multitudes of them
find ample space for all movements of
an active life within single drop of

ever there is moisture, at least where
ever organic matter is present .

stagnant pools around u.s." says Pro-

How TO DO Your HUSBANDS SHIRT
TO SUIT.-The following receipt for
doing up shirts will be found of use to
many housewives: Take two ounces
of fine white gum arabic powder, put it
into a pitcher and pour on it pint or
so of water; and then, having covered
1t up, let it stand all night. In the
morning pour it carefully from the
dregs into a clean bottle, and cork it
and keep it for use. A tablespoonful
OF gum-water stirred into a pint of
starch made in the usual manner will
give to the lawns, either white or
printed, Il look of newness, when moth
ing else can restore them, after they
have been washed.
