following as authentic; The Central
Pacific is to commence the construc-
ton of a line from Humboldt Wells to
intersect the Northern Pacific in Mon
tana. The proposed new line will skirt
the Wood River mountains, and branch
roads will run up the valley of Big and
Little Wood rivers, in opposition to
any lines the Union Pacific may build.
The construction of this line gives the
Northern Pacific direct San Francis

Costumes for Riding.
From the Philadelphia Times.

FROM the PnllaueiphlA llmess
This is Just the season for horseback
riding, and, therefore, few hints about
habit will be acceptable. In Paris the
riding habit is quite simple, a good
deal shorter than it used to be made
formerly, glove fitting, with a short
basque turned up into revers at the
back. But as variety to this young
ladies have very generally adopted this
spring the riding habit of creamy white
or pale buff instead of the dark cloth
one. TIE bodice is glove fitting cui-
rass heightened behind into cot lappets
and trimmed with buttons of carved
pearl. The neck is finished with a deep
ruffie of creamy lace. AS for the
sleeves, they are partly concealed I'M
ner the long gloves of soft deerskin
which are slipped over them. The hat
is a broad brimmed Gainsborough,
caught up on one side with long
white ostrich feather, which curls
around the crown. The hat itself is OF
white felt, lined with deep blue or red
velvet or satin. This headgear is too
becoming to be soon left off. When
the weather is very warm, however,
the hat to be worn is of thin, soft felt
lined with silk, which is quite light and
pleasant to wear.
In New York and Philadelphia, hab-
its are made of dark cloth, bottle green,
navy blue, plum, prune and black.
The skirts are, as the Partisan habits,
much shorter than they used to be,
and the dresses are made either in one
glove fitting princess habit or they have
skirts and basques, either pointed or
in jacket or coat shape. With such
habits the hats are jaunty beavers,
modest Derbys or in any of the fash
ionable stylish shapes. with, however,
but little trimming, except the elegant
plume and perhaps large double bow
Of wide ribbon. A very stylish habit is
of very dark brown cloth made WITH
coat basque, with deep tabs in the back.
The hat is of black silk high crown and
narrow brim.

The Smallest Baby in the World

Says the Carson (Nev.) Appeal: A
gentleman who came here from Chan
delaria informs the Appeal that the
smallest baby in the world was borne
in that camp on Monday noon. The
father is a miner in the employ of the
Northern Bell Mine, and weighs one
hundred and ninety pounds, and the
mother is stout, healthy woman,
weighing perhaps one hundred and
sixty pounds. fhe child is male, as
perfectly formed as human being can
be, but upon its birth it only weighed
eight ounces. Its face is about the
rize of horse-chesnut, and the size of
its limbs can be imagined when we say
that ring worn upon the little finger
OF its mother was easily pulled over
its 70 & up to the knee. Our informant
states that it was the opinion of the at
tending physician thst the child would
live and prosper in good health, not
with standing its diminutive proper
tons. The midget is so small that
three of its size could play hid and
seek in cigar-box. This is believed
TO be the smallest baby ever born.

A Frogs Digestive Powers.

The Whaley Br theirs placed in their
aquarium large edible frog as n curl
osity. That the mon ter might not be
lonesome among the golden carp and
little turtles, a SIN III frog was placed in
the tank for company, The sequel
proved not only that no love is lost
among frogs, but also that frogs
stomach for digestive power is about
equal to that of an ostrich, which dis
tills fat and royal plumage from u
d et of rusty nails. One fine night the
frog kept as n companion disappeared
and then the turtles began to be missed.
Five were sold from fifteen in the talk,
but the stock of turtles steadily
dwind ed until only five remained. The
turtles shells measured on the average
about 2x2i inches. As the turtles dis

trachian was swallowing his

The one saved had been long enough in
the frog for the digestive acids to work
upon his shell, which was soft and
sloughing off along the edges. He was
replaced in the tank. He measured two
and half by three inches across the
shell and was as lively as n cricket.
