CANCEL TsiE PAST.

Oh, cancel the past, be its story untold,
The cares and the sriefs, and the terrors OF
old;
Let us stand like an oak tree, whose strength
can defy
The rage of the winds and the storms of the
say.
What though our visions are vanished and fled
Like last Summers roses long scattered and
dead;
Repine not, but gaze on the fast coming May,
When roses shall blossom as lovely as they.
For JOY let us struggle! Yes joyshail beours,
While Heaven givcth sunshine, and earth
yieldeth flowers;
Though lowly-not humbled, for naught
shall destroy
The sense of our birthrght or title of joy.
For why were We born without kEowledgeor or
will
What purpose to answer, what scheme to
fulfill?
Hark. the voice Of the Past, in az accent Of
scorn.
Replies-'To disaster and pain ye are born.
But Nature procl:.ims with her sweet, thrill
ling voice,
Her wiiiand intention thatall shouldrejoice!
And humanitys triumph shall greet us at
last,
And reason and justice shall cancel Tie Past.

SLEEP NORTH AND SoyTH.-A learned
German says: In sleep any position ex-
cept north and south is disagreeable, but
from east to west almost intolerable, at
least in our hemisphere it Is not other
wise. The cause of this phenomenon can
obviously be found only in that great
magnet which is formed by the earth with
its atmospheric e., terrestrial magnet
ism exerts On certain persons, both hearty
and otherwise, who are sensitive, pecu-
liar influence wonderful enough to dis
turb their rest, and In the case of diseas-
ed persons disturbing the circulation, the
nervous functions, and the equilibrium of
the m.ntal powers. There are persons
whom know, the head of whose bed Is
to the north, and who, in order to wake
early, viii reverse their usual position III
bed. but without knowing the reason why,
beyond that they could always wake
earlier, the sleep being more broken L
have had il related to me that at military
hospital in Russia there were some sick
patients of highly sensitive natures, who
were rapidly recovering. When necessity
compelled them to be removed to another
wing of the building. they did not get on
so well; in fact, prostation seemed to be
setting in, and it was found advisable to
oct them back to their former wards as
q quickly as possible, where the heads Of
the beds were to the north have heard
Of horses going blind through changing
their nosition from north TO south to that

A New DEpARrNENT.-Among the bills
before congress is one introduced by Sen
ator Window, for the creation of new
branch of the government service, 10 be
styled the department OF commerce
1t is favored by the national board OF
trade, which feels that commerce, so i'm
portant feature in the prosperity Of the
country, should have national encourage
ment and protection The time for the
adoption of such measure Is considered
exceedingly opportune. Americen trade
is expanding with rapidity that Is mar
vellous. and requires only TO be fostered
by the government to continue It's rapid
strides, despite the competition of other
producing and manufacturing countries.
Senator WINDOWS bill provides that the
new department shall have secretary and
assistant secretary, to be appointed by the
president and confirmed by the senate,
the said department to be charged with
the supervision and care of the CONNER
cial, agricultural, manufactarine and min
ING interests of the United States, IN so
far as the same are con6ded to the national
government by the constitution

A STRICT TURK.-A strict Turk is
not only to wash his head, face, neck,
ears and feet, but also his teeth at each of
the Ave daily calls to prayer, 50 he very
soon wears out his toothbrush and
those articles are generally in packets OF
dozen. They are made Of olive sticks
about ten inches long and half an inch
in diameter. At one end for about hall
an inch they are split in all directions, so
as to form brush closely resembling a
steneiling brush. It Is easy to see that
they are not calculated to endure hard
wear The less particular Turks use
ordinary European tooth-brushes, but as
even the most lax among them look on
the pig and all belonging to him as vile and
unclean, they would as soon think of de-
filing their mouths with Russian bristie
tooth brush as of eating porkehop or
rasher of bacon The shopkeeper, there
fore, swears by the heads and souls of his
father and mother that the hair of which
his tooth-brushes are made grew on the
back of the camel, the COW or the horse

An Ounce and a Ton Weight

An ounce weight aud ton weight Of
iron will fall down a pit with equal speed
and in equal time Until about 800 years
ago all the learned men in the world dis.
believed and denied it. Calico, an Itali.
an, taught the contrary to the popular
belief. The University of Pisa challeng-
ed him to proof. The leaning tower OF
that city was just the place for such a ex-
periment. Two balls wera, obtained and
weighed, and one was foundto be exactly
double the weight Of the other. Both
were taken to the top. All Pisa looked
on, and crowds of dignitaries we're conf
dent that young Calico, the obscure and
despised, but honored and immortalized
now, would be proved to be in error. The
two balls were dropped at the same in
slant. Old theory and the world said that
the large ball, being twice as heavy as the
less, must come down in half the time.
All eyes watched, and 10 all eyes beheld
them strike the earth at the same instant.
Men then disbelieved their eyes, and re-
peated the experiment many times, but
each with the same result. The little ball
was big enough to destroy theory two
thousand years old and had it been as
little rs a pea it wouid have destroyed it
Just as well, or even more quickly.
But how was this2 Did not the earth
draw down the large bali, which was
double the weight Of the smaller, with
double the force! Yes, truly, but in draw
ing down the large ball there was double
force of resistance to be overcome, and as
the two forces acted IN given proportion
on the less, the velocity of the two was
equal, though in bulk they were unequal
Let us suppose that there be two wagons,
one with load of five tons, and the other
ten tons, and that the unequal horsepower
should not their speed be equal, though
their weight is unequal! No; there must
be double horsepower to draw the
double weight TO obtain equal speed. Let
ten-pound weight and a one pound
weight fall To the earth at the same time,
and the earth must draw down the heavier
weight with ten times greater force than
the other, that they may have equal speed,
and it does so. a ton weight of iron and
an ounce weight, leaving the top Of pit
at the same instant, would therefore at
the same instant fall to the bottom.

The Latest Fashions.

4 new and very pretty material for
dresses this winter Is grey cloth called
corduroy. Trimmed with German velvet
it Is exceedingly pretty and appropriate
for walking costume
A dress of this cloth made with mar
row tioance of dark blue or brown velvet

that n donnce Of the cloth, that headed
with band of yellowish fox fur, the front
breadth OF the skirt; the back has . latRs
scarf of velvet loeped fxo or three tGae.
filling in the skirt from the waist 10 the
trimming at the bottom the waist shogld
be made with basque; vest made of
velvet, and sleeves coat-shape, with
band OF fur at the wrist.
A short jacket, maGe of the cloth and
trimmed around with fur, should be worn
with this costume. A mutf, of the cloth,
with a band of fur at each end, Is very
pretty.
A grey felt bonnet, trimmed with vel
vet and feathers the color of the velvet
used on the dress, would be the most ap-
proprIate for a costume of this description.
Very long grey pants dc Suede or undress-
ed kid gloves should be worn with this
dress
Among the novelties in furs this season
IS an exceedingly becoming and elegant
tippet, or wrap, for the neck 1t is made
of broad band OF fur, not quite a quar-
ter of a yard in width, falling nearly to
the bottom of the cloak At the back it
must be cut to tit the neck, ard little
rounded on the outer edge This is trim
med entirely around with black Spanish
lace about two inches wide. A tippet of
this kind is very elegant in black fox fur,
also in the fur called black silver fox.
When a garment is trimmed with fur
tippet of this description can be made of
the same fur. Those having cioaks trim
med with the fox fur can, of course, wear
the tippets above described.
Muffs are made small and of the mate
rial the costume is, trimmed either with
bands Of fur or the same as the trimming
used Oh the cloak.
Lace is very pretty on muffS and should
be used when the tippet istrimmed withit.
Sealskin cioaks made the dolman shape
are very elegant trimmed around with a
very broad band of black fox fur or otter.
The most comfortable wrap for caf-
riage is tile long circular cloak, lined and
trimmed with fur, made of armure silk or
Slcllienne.

ToUCHT PEoPLE-There are some peo-
pie, yes, many people who are looking
out for Sights. They cannot carry ON the
daily intercourse Of the family without
some offence being taken. They are B
touehy as hair triggers. If they meet an
acquaintance on the street who happens
to be preoccup;ed with business, they a.
tribute his abstraction in some way per.
sonal T. themselves and take umbrage Sc
eordingly. A hit of indigestion makes them
see impertinence in every one they come
in contact with. Innocent persons, who
never dreamed OF giving ofFense, are as
tonished to find some unfortunate or'mo-
mentary taciturnity mistaken for an insuh.
To say the least, the habit is unfortunste.
1t is far wiser to take the more charitable
view of our fellow beings, and not suppcee
a slight is intended unless the neglect u
open and direct. After all, too, life takes
its hues in a great degree from the color
of our mind. If we are frank and gener-
Gus, the world treats us kindly lion the
contrary we are suspicious, men learn TO
be cautious with u.s. Let man get tho
reputation of being touchy, every one Is
under more constraint, and in this way
the chance OF an imaginary ofense Is vastly
increased.

NALTzISG GIRLS OF FNEvADA.-While
perusing little volume on waltzing, late
ly published " San Francisco, the differ
ent styles OF wnltnins indalse.i IN Ly -onr
western girls were vividly called to mind.
There are walters and walters. With
some it is aboutas awkward performance
rs can be imagined with others it is a
natural and graceful movement fact,
the very poetry of motion. An Austin
girls waltzing is easy, graceful and "me-
lOdiOus. If she is from Carlin she throws
her kair back, jumps up and cracks her
heels together, carries off her astonished
partner as though Washoe zephyr had
struck him, and knocks over all obstacles
in her mad career. A Tuscarora girls
crooks her body in the middle ike a door
hinge, takes her pard by the shoulder and
makes him miserable in trying to hop
around her without treading ON her No 9
shoes. A Carson girl will now and then
work In touch of the double shuttle, or
a bit of pigeon-wing. A Winnemucca
girl-yum, yum ,-creeps closely and tim
idly up to her partner, as if she would
like to get into his vest pocket, and melfs
away with ecstaey as the strains of the
"Blue Danube sweep through the hall.
An Eiko girl is natural waltzer and does
it with an abandon that is charming. A
Virginia girl throws both her arms around
his neck, rolls up her eyes, and as she
floats away she is heard to murmer, "Oh,
hug me, John. .'-Elko, Nerada Post 70

drels. Wells and Anderson, deserve the most
severe punishment With the quartette in

THE SPIRIT OF SELF-SAcRIFIcE--The
spirit of self-sacrifce is one Of the great
beauties of holiness Husband yielding
to wife, wife to husband; brother to
brother, sister to sister, friend TO friend /;
in great things, but in small things espe-
eiaily. First and foremost, see that the
spirit is with you at home then carry
it abroad into the world 1t is spirit
that will sweeten happiness, and tighten
troubles; and when the soul Is ready to
wing its fight to its eternal home, it will
have the unspeakable consolation of know
ing that it has not lived to itself; that it
has left the world happier and better in
some degree than it found it; that it has
been faithful so its earthly mission. So
will it listen with unutterable bliss to the
sentence, "Weu done, thou good and
faithful servant, enter thou into the JOY
of thy Lord.

4 FAyORITE STORY OF DICKENS
following story may have gone the round
of the newspaper, but it is good enough
for rc-:elling, since Dickens said Of it ::
"You must know that have appropriated
that story and acquired immense reputa-
ton by it" 1t occurs in paper of re
miniscences IL iScri5Iisr for October, enti-
tied "a Yankee Ter aad his Friends ::
On one of Captain Morgan voyages from
America to ENGLAND he had under his care
very attractive young lady, who speed
lily distinguished herself by reducing tive
young gentlemen to the verge of distrac-
ton. She was qaite ready to marry one :;
but what could she do with FIVE! In the
embarrassment of her riches she sought
the captain, who. after few moments
thought said: "It's'a fine calm day sup
pose, by accident, you should fall over
board; III have boat lowered ready to
pick yOu up, and you can take the man
who loves you well enough to Jump after
You" This novel proposition met the
young lady's views, and the programme
was accordingly carried out, with the
trihing exc ception that four of the young
men took the plunge. and, being picked
up by the beat, presented themselves,
dripping on the ships deck. The object
of their undampened arcor, no less wet
than themselves, fled to her stateroom,
and sent for her adviser, the captain
"Now, captain cried she in despair.

Piled the captain, "if you want a sensible
husband, take the dry one. And she did.
