The Bank Of Nevada.

GOLD is tossed about and trucked about
as lead and copper are in New York.
Mere boys with canvas bags in their
hands 90 around carrying and collect
ing the precious metal. Kegs of gold
and bags of gold are thrown on cart as
if they were kegs of nails. In the
principal jewelry-stores, necklaces, dia-
mond-studded belts and sets valued at
all the way from $40 to 100000 are ex-
posed to view and are laid within grab
bing distance. The Bank of Nevada is
the great gold bank of the city. Its
vaults are said to contain over S10,000,-
600. Trays of gold stand on the coun-
ter, not Gagged in and wired in as with
us, but with as little guard around the
money as is thrown around silks in Il
dry-goods store. Yet nothing is stolen
and nobody attempts it. The bank is
owned by Flood & O'Brien, the great
Bonanza men. Their income is fabu-
lous-from the mines alone said to be
three millions a month. They began
life humble enough. They were traders
in a small way, and the store is still
pointed out where they served their
customers for years. They made
friends with the miners, trusted them
for goods, loaned them little money,
and when the miners had good thing
they let Flood q O'Brien know it.
They were careful, prudent, saving men,
and always had ready cash for small
ventures. The Bonanza possession was
the result of this thrift and forecast.
Flood is about fifty years of age. He
is slightly undersize, sturdy and stocky
in build. His face is expressive of self
possession, resolution and common
sense. His family consists of a wife, a
son and daughter. The daughter is a
young lady of prepossessing appear
ance, who puts on no airs. Mrs Flood
is matronly lady, quiet and benevo-
lent, and enjoys the esteem of her
neighbors. She refuses to give large
parties, because she would have to
ignore her friends and acquaintance of
humber days. The family live cozily
in comfortable house, which would
not be considered more than respecta-
BILE for a well-to-do mechanic or moder-
ate shop-keeper. Floods word is as
good as his bond anywhere. O'Brien
is an older man-full seventy. He is
tall, with very gray hair, and slightly
stoops. Flood holds the fort in the
President S room, and is seen by few
persons. O'Brien can be found out
side, in the banking-room, sprightly
old man, apparently looking after
things. He is unmarried but lives in
princely style in mansion built by
Senator Sharon. His relatives keep his
house.-S0n Francisco Cor. Boston

What Men Need Wives For.

1t is not to sweep the house, make the
bed, darn the socks, and cook the meals,
chiefly, that man wants a wife. If
this is all he needs, servants can do it
more cheaply than wife. If this is all,
when a young man calls to see a lady,
send him into the pantry to taste the
bread and cake she has made, send him
to inspect the needle-work and bed-mak-
ing, or put a broom in her hands, and
send him to witness Its use. Such things
are important, and the wise young man
will quickly look after them.
But what the true man wants is her
companionship, sympathy, and love.
The way of life has many dreary places
in it, and man needs a companion to go
with him. A man is sometimes over
taken by misfortunes; he meets with
failure and defeat; trial and temptations
beset him; and he needs one to stand by
him and sympathize. He has some hard
battles to fight with poverty, enemies,
and with sin; and he needs a woman
that, when he puts his arm around her,
he feels he has something to fight for
that will help him to fight; that will put
her lips to his ear and whisper words of
counsel, and her hand to his heart and i'm
part courage. All through life, through
storm and through sunshine, conflict
and victory, through adverse and favor
ing winds, man needs woman's love.
The heart yearns for it. A sisters or
a mothers love will hardly supply the
need

tying the scantling together from top

feet, so they may not spread. Thus
you have the walls ready, the space be-
tween the outside and inside walls be-
ing about thirteen inches. Place the
rafters over all, giving one-quarter
pitch or one in four feet. Secure the

Commence boarding up, outside and

in each end of which should be placed

ice.
The floor of the house should be COW
cred to the depth of foot with broken
stone or blocks of wood, that will keep
the ice from contact with the ground,
and afford free dripping of water be-
low. Cut the ice in uniform blocks;
eighteen or twenty inches square is Il
good size for handling. Lay these COM
pactly in the interior, and close to the
walls on every side. Proceed thus I'M
til you have the house filled to the
caves. Cover the whole with two feet
of slough hay well tramped at the
sides, and the whole will be found in
tact, if properly packed, when wanted.
An eight-feet cube of ice will be found
sufficient for an ordinary-sized family,
to give plenty for all cooling purposes.
The size we have mentioned will be
ample for moderate-sized dairy, and
a cube of fourteen to sixteen feet will
furnish ice for large dairies.-Prajrje

Garget in Cows.

THIS common and very disagreeable
disease of COWS receiving some atten-
ton recently, it may not be out of place
to state that one of the most efficient
remedies that has ever been used, and
probably as effectual and safe one as
will be discovered for some time to
come, grows spontaneously on the
premises of nearly every farmer, in the
form of the common skoke, or garget
root, Rytolacc9 Decandra of botanists.
1t is too well known to require any de-
scription. Some, however, confound
the common name skoke with the plant
commonly called poke root, itch weed,
American hellibore (Veratrum Tirtde),
frem the similarity of the common
names, skoke and poke. Skoke, OF
garget root, grows wild in pastures and
hedges, and is well known by its dark
red clusters of berries that ripen in the
fall. 1t is used considerably in medi-
cine, and is one of the most powerful
Alternative medicines the vegetable king
dom affords.
Many practical farmers can attest to
its remarkable efficacy in the cure of
80 SSS civ ~ 10 Cludily SOOu IOl any
disease of cattle requiring alternatives.
To give it, cut or pound up into small
pieces about half teacupful of roots;
mix with bran or meal, and give to the
animal, repeating the dose each day.
Washes made by boiling the roots or
leaves of the plants, and some smart
weed, together, are very beneficial as
local applications in garget. These
very simplesremedies, we think, will be
found equal in efficacy to any, and have
the advantage of cheapness and sim
plicity. Most farmers prefer to use
agents they are familiar with in the
treatment of the diseases of animals,
provided they are equally efficacious.
1t would be an excellent plan for farm
ers to dig up and dry quantity of the
roots in the fall, for use during the win
ter, or early in spring. 1t is beneficial
to give cattle dose occasionally, mixed

Lighthouses for Farms.

1t seems rather curious for farmers
living near ponds and streams, or
where ice may be obtained by hauling
even six or seven miles, that they
should be without ice in the summer.
Not more singular, however, than the
advice which we have lately seen in
some journals, whose editors ought to
know better, wherein the advice is
given that ice-houses should be built
below ground. Once, indeed, it was
thought to be the only feasible way of
preserving ice, until practice and COM
mon sense taught that its preservation
above ground was not only cheaper,
but that the ice was thus more surely
preserved. The fact is, ice may be toll
erably well kept when simply stacked
up, if in large body and covered with
straw sufficient to keep away air and
rain. The structure of an ice-house is,
however, at once so simple and cheap
that this is not at all necessary; and
any farmer of ordinary mechanical
skill may easily build one for himself
The best and cheapest plan for Il
farmers ice-house is to select piece of
ground that may be made perfectly
level, and so the water from the melted
ice may be quickly carried off. For
house twelve feet square-large enough
for any farmers family-lay down,
3X16 inch plank; along the edges of the
plank nail securely strips of hard wood
1x14 inches; against these set 2x4 scant-
ling, twelve feet long, and at distance
apart of thirty inches, so the outside
and inside scantling will be equi-distant
from each other; that is, so they will
not be opposite. Upon these, again, at
the top, put plate of 2xl3 inch plank,
