Saving the Rags.

A heap of little bits of calico and linen
lay just ahead of Phenie's broom. 1t
was very cunning new broom, and it
swept as clean as new broOms ALWAYS
do. The sitting-room had to be swept
a good many times in day, for Miss
Poor, the dress-maker was there, snip
ping and shipping and making all the
litter she possibly could-so Picnic
thought. But she liked to sweep it up
very well. indeed.
I'D pick those pieces out and save
them for paper-rags," said Aunt Anna,
coming in just at that minute.
There's such little of EN-" said
Picnic. 81 don't believe it's a cents
worth. want to 90 out and sweep the
veranda, too"
So Picnic tidgeted minute with her
broom, and when she found Aunt Anna
didn' say any more she left the bits of
cotton in a corner of the wide brick
hearth, and went out to sweep the We
randa floor. And when she went in
again the rags were all out Of the way.
All through the summer there were
good many bits of cloth and paper to
pick up; but Picnic didn't touch them
very often. There was always such
little, and she didn't like to anyway
But in the fall tin-peddler drove up
to the door, in a shiny green cart let
tered with gold. And among other
beautiful things he had some little tin
pals, painted and lettered, too.
80 amtie," screamed Picnic, in the
greatest delight, cant have one?"
Thirty cents, only" said the peddler
After one look at Aunt Anna face,
Picnic felt, with a dreadful sinking of
her heart, that he might as well have
said thirty dollars.
I'm take rags said the peddler.

Aunt Annals eyes began to laugh
"Haye you got any rags, Phenie?"
she asked.
Nom" said Picnic, solemnly.
If you had only saved them, Phe-
nie'
But there was such little" said
Picnic.
Aunt Anna laughed. Then she
brought in from behind the shed-door a
bag stuffed full of rags. "Here they are,
Phenie," said she.
Picnic opened her eyes, and the ped
der began to laugh. In minute he
had weighed the rags.
THE pail yours" said he, ''and two
cents over Many alittle makes good
deal, little girl. Now, Pm coming round
again next spring. Can't you save some
rags for me?'
Yes, sir" said Picnic, hugging her
pail with the two iingling coppers.
And the other day when Aunt Anna
found breadth of her lilac poplin dress
in Phenie's rag-bag, she almost wished
that Picnic wouldn't pick the rags up
quite so snug.

A Corner Bracket.

Have a plain, pretty shaped shelf
not too large-put up across the corner
of your room. Cover the top nicely
with dark, smooth cloth; then take a
piece of fine, firm satin--wine color,
brown, or any rich and very dark color
of the proper width and length for
the front piece to the shelf; paint near
one end of this white garden lily with
bit of the stalk and two or three of the
slender green leaves; near the other
end, a sprig of blue bells, and in the
center q small bouquet of yellow, white
and purple pansies. Line with buck
ram or padding to stiffen; hem the bot
tom, and finish with handsome fringe
to match; fasten up around the edge
of the shelf If you lack the skill or
time to do the hand-painting nicely,
procure instead a card of the small va
riety pictures now so much used for
such purposes; cut out carefully, paste
neatly, and finish as above. Country

The Jack and the Jolic1 and the Jamborie,
They climbed up into the banyan tree.
They climbed to the top
But they had to stop,
For no more foot-hold could they see.
The Jack and the .Iolick and the Jamborie
To climb still farther did all agree;
SO the Jack stood up on the topmost limb,
And then the Jolick climbed over him,
Over the two went the JambOrie-
He climbed up quickly the world to Sec
And then the Jack from the topmOst limb,
With grin and chucllle climbed after him.
TO the top climbed he,
The world to see,
And there i'll the air swung all the three:
The Jolick gleefully followed the Jack,
And quickly reached the topmost back;
And then again went the .Jamborie

On they are going, and on and on;

We learn from j. F. Morrison, an old
miner, who has been at work in this camp
and the neighborhood since 1869. some in
teresting facts about the Cumberland and
Mammoth mines in Diamond District,
about 1S miles north of Eureka, which
mines are the property of the Enterprise
Company, composed of San Francisco cap
italists who are represented here by u. u.
Phillips. The Mammoth ia developed by
a tunnel upwards of 800 feet in length and
by an incline between so and go feet deep.
The tunnel has been run in upon the ledge
which varies in width from two to twelve
feet. The ore is Of a quartz character, but
heavy in lead, of which it carries in the
neighborhood of 60 per cent. The Cum
berland, which has been developed to about
the same extent as the Mammoth, shows a
ledge OF from 2 to 2la feet wide, the ore
being about 26 per cent lead. The two
mines are 8, 300 feet apart. The ore in the
two mines ia OF low-grade, averaging $50,
though some of it goes $50 per ton. We
are told that it can be reduced at a cost OF
less than Sl5 per ton on account OF the
great abundance Of wood and water at
hand. II this calculation is correct, and
the promised quantity Of ore holds out, tho
Enterprise Company has q valuable prop
erty. There are some loo tons OF ore on
the Mammoth dump. Seventeen thousand
dollars nave been expended in developing
the two mines since last Fall, and the
we are informed, have deter
mined to erect furnaces next Spring.

The Chinese servants in Eureka have
every day we hear of some piece of impert-
inence on their part from families by
whom they are employed as cooks. We
are at a loss to account for this extra
ordinary behavior on the part of the Chi

more independent and appreciate their
Importance more at the present time. be-
cause immigration has been cut off, and
they have fewer of their own people to

durable. Yesterday a certain lady upon
returning home slipped on the ice, formed
from water that her Chinamsn had left

afterwards the house was in darkness, as
the chimneys all went to pieces, and the

charming Celestial still. further endeared
himself to his mistress by throwing a pail
full Of boiling potatoes at her head. There
should be a stout club in every household
in which a Chinaman is employed, and the
mistress Of the house should practice with
it, and use it on the heads of those irate
Celestials. They are accustomed TO this

without it in America.

An Influx of Scrubs.

In a conversation with the officers at the
Jail yesterday, we learned that there are
already in Eureka a number Of providers
and petty larceny thieves, who have come
into town recently, and that they expect a
lot more to float in before the holidays.
Two young scape-graces who give their
names as William Chase and George Coon,
were captured yesterday morning, through
the ingenuity of Officer Long. In the
cabin which they occupied, opposite the
Eureka Con. works, was found a whole
masa of odds and ends-oigars. whisky
and a number of articles of jewelry, which
were identified as those which were stolen
from Dan. Lewis saloon last Saturday
night. They had in their possession, also,
a large number of keys Of all sorts, with
which they could readily open almost any
door-lock in town. They had nicely made
skeletons, o three-cornered file and q
burglars cold chisel. These fellows are
about 81 years of age, and hail from Iowa.
They are evidently accomplished house
breakers. They were taken before Judge
Harmon, but pleaded not guilty. They
were remanded to the County Jail, where
they will be retained until the meeting OF
the next Grand Jury, which will inyestl-
gate & charge against them of burglary. In
the meanwhile it will be prudent for peo-
pie to look about them and see that their
house fastenings are secure, as other TEL
lows of this ilk will be apt to make the
rounds of the town before the Winter ID
over.

In giving the majorities Of candidates

majority Of Hon. ]. II. Dennis, Senator
elect, at 30. 1t should have been 1919.
One hundred votes makes no difference in
the result, for the 20 LETT are as good as
the 129, or 1000 more. But we are happy
to be appraised Of our error. and we make
the correction very c~heerfully, for although
the 100 votea do not figure materially in
the count, rs the Major is elected anyway,
still he should be credited with his proper
majority, for it shows that he did not
make a scratch, or pull through by the
.'skin Of his teeth" or anything like that,
but that he is chosen to represent the
people Of Elko by figures that show a very
