NEVADA BEEF.

One important interest in this Statl
il that Of cattle raising. N~otwithstand.
ing the fact that Nevada 10 generally
considered q sterile and %unproductive
region. there are p%srtionssf II that seem
to bs specially adapted to the business
Of raising cattle. This IL shswn by the
excellence Of the beef sent frsm this
State to the California markets, and The
large profits realized by those engaged
in the business.
In addition 10 the driving and ship.
ping Of live cattle to the California mar
ksts, there 10 established at winnsmucca
q drssssd.msat shipping business. This
Is carried on BY O. Derby. Of Virginia
City. who owns several large cattle ranges
in different parts Of the State. The cat
tls are killed and dressed at winusuucca
and shipped in rsfrigerating cars both
east and west.
The San Francisco butchers are q,
present Mr.. Dsrby's best customers, the
meat hs supplies in this way being much
better than that from cattle which have
been crowded into cars and bruised and
starved between the points from which
they are shipped and their destination,
where they arrive in . fsvsrish condi-
ton. Three additional refrigerator ears
have been ordered from the East, and 1t
is understood that . carload q day OF
meat will hereafter bs shipped from Win.
nsmucca.
The business Of exporting Nevada
dressed beef IL as yet In its infancy. but
1t IL growing rapidly. and when once es.
tablishsd. with all the refrigerator cars
required. will prove both important and
remunsrativs as q State industry. Al
present the greater part Of the orders
come from California. but It Is expected
that the Eastern States will ultimately
become the most extensive purchasers Of
this Nevada staple.

II 10 Q gem in its way. and bs.rsys either
the writer's ignorance or his unfairness.
He did not explain that the ore which
the ophir Company was taking out came
from . small pocket in the groupings on
the hillside. and not from the regular
workings Of the mine. This, however.

only to his lack Of knowledge. and

and its logic.
The latter part Of Mr.. Dslsvan's par
ssrsph is unique. In the first place 1t Is
necessary to find "nsw mines" before
they can be successfully opened, and.
secondly. it would be exceedingly sI-
psnsivs to open mines and then sban-
don them a. loon as they have attained
sufficient depth to begin in earnest the
work OF prospecting. 1t is indeed for

y BUSHEI FROM EVERY POUND.
A working farmer who has had expert
ence SAYS that a buShel of wheat. on an
average all over the country, should pro-
duce from every pound sOwH, ought to
be a fact. and not an expression in SO
many words. That a bushel eau be rails
ed from every pound of wheat sOwn un-
der all ordinary circumstances is a fact
that farmers should verify every season.
So long as they SOW 30 to 120 pounds per
acre generally on poor land or on land
poorly prepared, there will always be
small crops and poor seed. When it
takes shTee to five pounds of seed to raise
a bushel. It is, to say the least. TunOus
waste. Enough is waste in such seeding
to supply with bread the whole wheat
producing population the year round ;
and not only is the direct loss sustained,
but annOtheT-vIZ., thick seeding inva-
Tiably hlndeTs the wheat plant from pro-
ducing as much as il would were it not
cramped and crowded 50 closely by its
sapping neigbbOrs. Farmers mistake
the demands OF almost all small grain
Generally they think the more seeds The
larger yield, when the very reverse in
the case. There are seeds that send up
but one stalk and require to be sown
thick there are others like those of
grasses, that do better on sod thicklv
matted but wheat, oats, rye, and barley
show very clearly theiI repugnance To
being sOwI too thick 10y their failure to
stool out and make many stalks from
one grain. When SOwn broadcast OF
with drill thirty pounds peracTe should
be the maximum all over the country
upon all land that Is in any way adapted
to its growth.

THE DRUM.

OF the original use of the drum there
are rather discordaut accounts; but a
very orthodox myth ascribes the inveu-
tiOU of them to "a time anterior even to
the reign of Jupiter. For it is said that
the Cory bautes, when in charge of the
infant god, and wished to conceal him
from the very uupaternal designs of his
father Saturn, imprOvised some drums.
and kept up such "A din with them As Of
ten as the child cried that the murder
Gus parent was unable to discover his
whereabouts. Notwithstanding this
tale, it does not appear that the Cory
bantam instrument was very early used
H. war, for there is no mention of it in
the Trojan expedition OF in any of the
campaigns of later Greeks and Romans.
The learned are disposed to believe that
It was brought into Europeas a military
instrument by the returning Crusaders
in the twelfth or thirteenth century.
But it was clearly known long before
in Africa and Egypt, and as a purely
orchestral accompaniment in times of
peace il seems likely to have been known
to the Hebrews under the term which in
the English Scriptures is rendered by
tabor. The family likeness of the word
to the modern French tambour is too
obvious t0 escape notice: but it is also
very similar In sound to the Kurdish
tamhar, and to our old English term,
''timbrel." The HindoO tom-t0m is,
perhaps. also connected with it, and it
has been argued that all these words
have common ATyan root, represented
in our language by the verb tap. -
This would be supported by the view, in
which classical arChG1logists c0ucur
that ii early times both the timbrels
and other large Instruments Of tine kind
were played by striking upon them with
the finger ends
In its original shape the drum or tym-
panum was smaller even than tam
BOURNE. 1t was a mere disk of parch-
ment stretched upon n small cirelet Of
metal. The addition Of a second sur
face with q hollow space intervening,
and with supporting sides of cylindrical
form, WAS 0f much later design. although
this part uf the instrument has now be-
come almost IS natural 10 the idea of it
rs any other. The proof of this is to be
found i'm the metaphorical use of the
term as borrowed 10y engineers, who
have given the name by universal con-
sent 10 the large hollow cylinders round
which a rope or chain is cOiled.

THE POISONOUS CIGARETTE.

The recent revelations of a Philadel-
/ phIa tobaccOnist. relative 10 the manu-
facture of cigarettes aud their deleteri-
( Gus effect upon smokers, should not be
/ without their influence with those who
/ use tobacco in that form. He saws that
/ the cigarettes in general use are manu-
/ factured in this country, principally in
New York, and are charged with OBI
um and other adulteTatiOnS. The more
heavily they are drugged the more rap
idly they sell. The trade in Havana
and German cigarettes amounts to little
or nothing, owing TO the fact that they
contain only pure tobacco. The taste
is for the Opiated article, because OF the
effect produced. Young men. and even
women and young lads, take TO smoking
these drugged cigarettes and acquire a
habit from which they find it difficult
to break away. and which. If persisted
in, leads to ruined health and an early
grave. The opium or other narcotic
matter with which these cigaretts are
filed has a soothing effect upon the
smoker, but their use is simply the COM
mission of suicide. The habit becomes
confirmed, and by and by the intelligent
look of the face dies out. lines cluster
around the eyes, and the eyes themselves
assume dull, heavy appearance. The
smoker becomes listleSs, acts i'm a man.
Eer which may be termed mechanical
and eventually drops into a premature
grave. The tobacco dealer who fur-
nishes the information saws that even
the fumes OF such cigarettes are poison
Gus, and those who use them infict harm
upon all who come within reach of their
deadly vapoT It is some comfort to
know that cigarette smoking is on the
decline. but still there are tbouss,,1s
who are running their health and having
Their way to an early death by continu-
ing theIr use. Young men should shun
the practice OF such indulgence. and
parents should caution their smaller
sons against the ACQUISITION of babit
which can only end with a broken down
constitution and an early dissolufion
The tObaccOuiSt further saws that tEe
popular taste is in favor of being stuDe-
he'd with choral or opium, and that
dealers must either cater to this taste or
suffer IN business. Owing to this the
large proportion of cigars are favored
with YalerIan, and charged with liberal
doses OF narcotics. Pipe tobacco has
a liberal addition of yellow ochre to give
II light color, and is favored with
winter green, while chewing tobacco is
steeped IN poisonous preparation of
IogWood to produce the same effect in
color. Tobacco in every form is either
adulterated or drugged, and smokers
and chewers of The weed will do well to
pay heed to the revelation made bv one
who understands the tricks of the trade
and who does not hesitate TO say that
the use Of adulterated tobacco produces
worse effects than does the drinking of
whisky.

IHE WAY PLATE GLASS Is MADE
To cast, roll, polish, and burnish plate
glass requires machinery of peculiar con-
Structldn, and a plant" that is made
costly by reason of its complex na5ure.
The pouring Cf liquid glass from the
furnace upon the cast iron plates. and
the subsequent rolling are processes com
paratively siuIple ANY housekeeper
who has used a rollingpin on a batch of
ple-crust dough performs an operatiOn
very similar to this stage of plate glass
making. 1t Is succeeding processes of
grinding and polishing and final burnish-
ing that require The time and costly me-
chanlsm. After leaving the rolls and
bIead-plate the glass is rippled and
rough, and only fit for gratings or skv-
lights. Each plate must be transferred
TO machines that resemble the turntables
of a railway. On that revolving plat
form the glass is cemented in bed of
piaster-Of-Pari5a and the machine started.
Bearing heavily on the surface of the
glass are blocks OF metal and while in
motions, the surface are supplied with
sharp sand and constant stream of wa
ter. The next stage OF the glass grind
ing process Is the same as to machinery.
but instead of sand. coarse emery is used.
The finer emery is used in another re-
VOlyIHg table, and So on for half a dozen
times. The final polishing is done bv
heavy recll rJcdtiug devices, fed with
rouge. and maintaining a constant back
and forward motion, and also lateral
movement over the surface of the crvs-
tai. All this requires the assistance of
large force of men, many of them
skilled laborers. After going through
these different grindmgs and pOlishings
the plate that measured an inch In
thickness is only three-fouTths of an inch
thick, has lost all its Toughness, ard is
ready for the shOw-windOw of the pur-
chaser.
