Nevada Stories.

The wind In Nevada is strong
enough and plenty of it to rur
the newspapers. For one of them
says that a saloon-keeper, the other
day, took his $500 plate mirror,
and, tying to it string OF
demijohns and brown jugs for a
tail, sent it up as kite. 1t con-
centrated the rays Of the sun on O
haystack and set it to fire. But,
unfortunately, after ascending ia
great height, the tail did not
prove heavy enough, and the mir
ror came sweeping to the earth,
breaking into thousand fragments
As the tail descended, the wind
played tunes upon the jugs and
demijohns, the jugs giving the
bass and the demijohns the treble
At another town, while q tornado
was ploughing the quarries and
digging out great chunks of quartz,
a Chinaman with spectscles on his
nose was seen gravely sitting, fly
ing kite made of boiler plate
hammered out fat, with a tail made
Of stove lids. In justice to these
papers, however, it should be said
that the iron has come down since
these reports were published.

Phil sheridan and the Planter,

During the pursuit Of Lees army
from Petersburg to Appomattox,
Gen'l Phil. Sheridan commanded
the advance of Grants army. At
dawn on the 7tb Of April all the
rebel troops were on the north side
Of the Appomattox, with the I'm
ion troops close on their heels
Sheridan, ever at the front, stopped
at a farm house, near Prospect
Station, dismounted, tied bis horse,
and started up the walk.
Upon the piazza sat a middle
aged typical southern, with long,
straight hair combed behind his
ears and covering his neck, a swal-
low tailed coat, buff waist coat,
nankeen pantaloons, and morocco
slippers. A gorgeous shirt frill
adorned his bosom, and from the
embrasure of wall-like collar he
shot defiant glances. He bowed
stifly to the general, who, nodding
carelessly, sat down on step and
pored over his maps. Soon he
looked up and said:
"Have you seen any Of Lees
troops about here to-dayl'
Planter.-"Sir, as | can truly
say that none have been seen by
me, will say SO; but, if / had
seen any should feel it my duty
to refuse to reply to your question.
l can not give you any information
which might lead to the disadvan-
tage of General Lee"
The general, with a little whistle
of surprise, pulled away at his
cigar, and continued to study his
map. In few minutes be looked
up again and asked: "How far is
it to Buffalo riverp
Planter-"Sir, / don't know"
Sheridan-"The - you don't.
How long have you lived here 2"
Planter.-"All my life"
Sheridan-"Very well, sir, it's
time you did know. Captain, put
this gentleman in charge of a guard,
and walk him down to Buffalo river
to show it to him."
The Virginian Of the old school
enjoyed the pleasure of tramping
through five miles of mud, to look
at river with which he was per-
fectly familiar.

First Bells Made In England.

The first Englishman known to
have been bell-founder by trade
lived in 1884, when he made four
bells for the cathedral church of
Exeter, none of which remain
and one which is dated 1896 is the
most ancient identified in England.
The oldest bell mentioned by Mr..
North as still hanging 10 North
smptonshire steeple is that Of Cold
Ashby, which bears the date Of
1917 but there are many undated
examples, which, from the style of
the inscription must be consider
ably older. One hundred and
thirty-seven in all may bo said with
certainty to have been cast before
the commencement of the seven
teenth century, and Of these twen-
ty-three are dated. In Leicester,
Mr.. North found 140 Of the early
period so that there is only diff
ference Of three old bells in the
two counties, a curious coinci-
dence. But Northampton does not
seem to have boosted of a bell
founder till the end OF the sixteenth
century, being thus about one
hundred years later than Leices-
ter. Moreover, many Of the North
amptonshire bells were made by

The Biggest Liar.

Bishop Selwyn was a benevolent
and kindly-spoken man, as well as
a great and famous one. He in
terested himself much 10 the poor,
especially in miners. One day
coming on a company Of the latter
be heard them talking in a very
animated way, so loudly that be
said to them: my friends, some
things seems to interest you all
very much heard your voices
quite in the distance may | in
quire what it isl" To which they
replied: you see that copper
tea-kettle therei We found it, and
were just saying that the one
who could tell the biggest lie
should have it," oh" said the
bishop, Il am sorry for that; /
hope you will never again tell
lies. IT'S a fearful habit, and so
unmanly. Why. | never told a lie
in my life. Whereupon the four
miners shouted in one breath
"Give the governor the tea-kettle, /"
all Of them thinking his assertion
"the biggest lie" they had ever
heard.

A Terrible RetributIOn.

A writer on Australian life in the
Boston Commercial Bulletin tells
how sick man was found by his
mate at the diggings murdered,
and bis gold gone. The culprit
was found bat contrived that night
to escape with the money, which,
for safe keeping, had been placed
in place Of detention. Nothing
could be heard from him, but q few
days later came the following /:
"Mr. Magistrate: Jem Bell Tthe
murdered mani was once q mate
Of mine. He was q good man.
You will find his murderer at the
head Of Dead Horse Gluch. ! have
kept the gold for o reward

A clergyman, who was bit
of humorist, once took tea with
a lady Of his parish, who prid-
cd herself much on her nice bread,
and was also addicted to- the COM
mon trick of depreciating her
viands 10 her guests. AS she
passed the nice warm biscuit to
the reverned gentleman, she said
"rhese are not very good; en-
almost ashamed of them" The
minister took one, looked at it
rather obviously, and replied !:
"They are not as good as they
might be !" The plate was instantly
withdrawn, and with heightened
color the lady exclaimed; "They
are good enough for you'll" Nothing
further was said.

Might Give Wrong Impression.

The Lincoln Guards, colored, were
marching down street in Galveston,
en- route to the picnic grounds, be-
hind a loud brass band. Stand
ing at the corner, in front of a
saloon, were two local politicians
who have a great deal of influence
with the colored voters. One of
the politicians was very much an
noyed by large fly that persisted
in buzzing about his nose in spite
of the effort made to drive it away.
a scared look came over the face
of the second politician, and he
asked his companion, "Have you
SO about you I"
Motive not got cent" respond
ed the other, making a still more
violent pass at the obnoxious in
sect.
"Then, for heavens sake, quit
making those motions"
why 7" responded the other,
waving his paw more violently
than ever at the fly.
Because those colored troops will
think you are motioning to them
to come and have some beer, and
they will stack arms and accept the
invitation"
The fly had it all his own way
after that.

Red snow.

On the 25th Of April, there fol
in the French departments Bases
Alps and Isere, an abundant snow
strongly tinged with red dust
The red matter was so abundant,
that from Barcelonette, all the
mountains looked ochrey up to
$500 to 5000 IN. Above this, the
snow remained quite white. A no.
tary of the place had quantity Of
the snow collected, and after fu-
sion and filtration, sent some Of
the dust to NJ. Daubree, who found
in it large proportion of carbon
ate of lime, also mica, and two
feldspars, one of these being or
those. The powder, then, had pro-
badly terrestrial, and not cos
mic origin; but it appears not to
be volcanic, like the ash which has
which has sometimes fallen in
Scandinavia after Icelandic erup-
tons; it also differs from the sand

distances by winds. The point
whence it came is still uncertain,
but it is interesting to note that
The same kind Of substance had
allen in 1916, precisely in the same
departments, and in 1863 in the
Eastern Pyrenees. Showers Of
similar dust seem to have fallen in

formerly, when its uses were chief
ly confined TO the rural districts,
! where people accustomed them
, selves to that timber which was
readiest to hand, and most easy to
convert with such tools as they had
at command--the axe Of the wood
man, the cross-cut saw, and the
heterogeneous contents of the viii
lsge carpenters basket. But with
the improvements in machinery
and the general application of
steam-power all woods alike have
become reducible to some useful
purpose which was hardly thought
OF before, and this gradual change
in the appreciation Of suitability
becomes moro and more obvious as
time goes OH. II the poplar has
all the good qualities which its
eulogists ascribe to it, there seems
no reason why it should not be-
come an important article of trade
at some future and not very re-
mote period, for it is the most rap
id growing of all known forest
trees in this country, and arrives
at maturity in a single generation
so as to yield good sized merchant |
able timber.
From a lecture delivered last
month at Chattanooga, Tennessee,
by Mr.. w. A. Hoskins, on the
woods of that State, we learn q
good deal about the virtues of the
poplar. After describing other
woods with the properties of which
the reader is probably more fam
ilisr, he proceeds as follows;
"Next in order of the manufac- ,
turing woods, l class the two va
rieties of poplar, white and yellow, ,
as among the most valuable of our !
woods. This wood practically loves
q generous soil, in which it grows
to great, and occasionally attaining
The extraordinary size of nine feet
N diameter. The poplar is among l
he soft woods, is easily worked, G
axes good finish, is of medium |
strength, and holds paint better 1
han almost any of our woods, and 5
S of great durability, particularly Y
he yellow variety. These woods Y
Irs also largely used for building [
and also make good fur q
liture which when taken from the II
lands of the skilled workman o
you'd scarcely be detected by the a
initiated from the more highly O
rized black walnut. 1t is largely a.
sed for pipe and pump making, :
nd much OF it is manufactured in
D those useful articles in many Of e,
he States Of the North as well as VI
very State of the South. This Sc
'ood is so abundant and easy of
ccess in our district that think / ID
