NEVADA STREAMERS.
The Curious and Beautiful shapes Taken
by the snow on the Mountains.
Virginia Enterprise.

Virginia EiLerprise.
The peak of Mount Davidson last evening
presented most wild and wintry appear
ance. The snow streamers were abroad In
all their glory. Last evening, however, they
could hardly be called streamen. They
were in reality an unending series of whirl-
winds that chased each other along the
mountain. These spiral columns Of snow
took thousand shapes in forming and van
ishing. Being strongly lighted by setting
sun, the great surging columns looked like
whirls Of fame and illuminated smoke rolling
up from great fire. This brilliancy was
seen In places where the rays of the sun
passed through the thin mist Of single snow
whirl. In places where three or four coli
umns happened for moment TO fall In line
between the spectator and the sun.the whole
was rs black AZ the smoke from the funnel
Of steamboat.
Frequently several colors of the rainbow
would flash out around these dark columns,
and moment after all above the peak would
be deep red, giving the top Of the mountain
The appearance of an active volcano. Ii
would have been fine opportunity for
scientist interested In the study of atmos-'
pheric currents. The motioa Of these snow
whirls show us what Is always taking place
in the air Ut the top Of the mountain, both
winter and summer, and If on our noun
tain, doubtless OH all mountains Of like
height. a.f
The straight current Of the atmosphere Is
broken up into thousands Of little whirl-
winds that rise from fifty to two hundred feet
above the surface of the ground.

Advice to Those Using Glasses.
EdiRburg Repieto.

Men engaged In literary pursuits should
read most by day and write most by night.
IL Is worthy of note that reading causes
more strain TO the eye than writing, and that
copying work In writing makes greater de-
mand upon the organ of vision than ofi-hand
composition. Twilight aud mixture of twi-
Light aud artificial illumination should be
avoided for any kind Of work. The pale Co
balt-blus tint IL the best that can be EN-
pioyed when projection for the eye from in
tense glare is sought, as In the case of trav-
cling upon snowfelds In bright sunshine.
The green glass that is often adopted for this
purpose is not by any means so worthy OF
confidence. Reading in railway travelling
IL Objectionable In the highest degree for
very obvious reason. The oscillation of the
carriage continually alters tue distance of the
page from the eye, and 30 calls for unceasing
strain In the effort to keep the organ in due
accommodation for the ever-varying distance
of the dancing image. The exact fitting Of
the framework Of spectacles to the face and
eyes Is Of more Importance than is generally
conceived. III the centers Of the lenses Of
the spectacles do not accurately coincide
with the centers Of the pupils Of the eyes,
the consequence Is that the images In the
separateeyes are little displaced from the
positions which they ought to hold, and that
somewhat painful and injurious. effort has
to be made by the eye TO bring those images
back into due correspondence for accurate
vision. An incipient squlnt Is apt TO be In
this way produced. Mr.. Carer recommends
that people should look TO the centering of
their spectacles for themselves. This may
be easily done by standing before looking
glass with the spectacles In their place. II
the fit Is good one, the center Of the pupil
should then appear In the centerof the rim.
Fully formed spectacles are always TO be
preferred to folding frames, because they
permit Of satisfactory adjustment In this
particular, and because they are more easily
kept in right position with regard to the
eyes. The only advantage which the pebble
enjoys over glass for the construction Of
spectacles Is the immunity which 1t possesses
against scratching and fracture, ON account
of Its greater hardness.

Praises from Sir Hubert.
Springfield Republican.


President Arthur has done the country .
high service and himself great credit by ap-
pointing Chief Justice Horace Gray of the
Supreme Court OF Massachusetts to be As
sociate Justice Of the Supreme Court of the
United States. Judge Gray Is jurist Of
judicial mind, great learning and studous
habits, Of punctilious dignity upon the bench
and Of the first order of ability. Washing
ton society will also find him Q man of per-
sonal attractiveness In social intercourse. As
the Supreme Court ID at present constituted
his learning and disposition to research will
be great addition to Its positive strength.
There will be general satisfaction that the
apprehensions In regard TO what Mr.. Arthur
might do with this important Office have been
entirely set aside by this event. The Presi-
dent has declined to make an appointment
of political significance and has followed the
unmistakable consent Of public opinion In
this Judicial district In selecting the most
emirent Judge whom New England has TO
offer 10 the federal bench. His sagacity will
be appreciated where II has been most
doubted. Judge Gray Is the sixth to be ap-
pointed to the Supreme Court from Massa-
chusetts, his predecessors being William
Cushing, Levi Lincoln, john Quincy Adams,
Joseph Story and ID. r. Curtis, bnt Lincoln
and Adams declined their appointments, 50
Gray will be really the fourth from Massa-
chusetts 10 sit In that high tribunal.

Librarian of the House.
Ee,c York Tribune.


Mr.. Mcpherson has appointed as Librarian
of the House of Representatives VIM. Henry
Smith, gentleman Of color. Mr.. Smith
has won deserved reputation for efficiency
as Assistant Librarian. A dozen years ago
Smith was messenger Of the library, and
was even then noted for knowing more
about what books the library had, where
they were, and what was in them, than al
most any of the frequently changed Assist
ant Librarians. Many Congressman has
made noise, not to say reputation, on the
facts which the colored messenger has dug
out for him in the library; and many an
other has learned from the same modest
source what mistake he would make II he
trusted to alleged facts picked up In partisan
publications. For years this colored mes
senger has been recognized by Democrats
and Republicans alike rs q sort Of walking
index TO the documents. His appointment
now Ii the deserved recognition of an
industrious, faithful and most capable sub
ordinate. We welcome the first colored Ii
brarian OF the House of Representatives.

A Peculiar French Suit.

Not outside of France would such . law
suit be likely TO occur as one recently re-
ported. M. and Nine. Rivoire were out sail
ing on the Rhone when the boat capsized and
they were drowned. Nine. Rivoire was
worth nearly half million dollars, which
she had willed to her husband, as they had
no children. His heirs claimed the money,
but her family opposed the claim on the
ground that he must have died some minutes
before her, and that therefore her will was
null and void, and her property reverted to
them. Partisan experts have been sum-
moned TO testify, and one is of the opinion
that there Is some reason TO conclude that as
NJ. Rvoire is known to have struggled vio-
lently on falling into the water, the exhaus-
tion caused by his efforts must have brought
about ssphyxia more rapidly than In the case
Of Nine. Rivoire, who sank at once to the
bottom of the stream, and who, being in a
state of insensibility, and consequently max
ing no exertions to breathe, without any
doubt did not perish till several minutes af-
ter the life of NJ. Rivoire was extinct. Just
which one died first no one can In all proba-
bility ever determine, but one thing is likely,
and that is the lawyers will probably get all
the money before the case ends.

THE LANDING OF THE PILGRIMS.
Mark Twain HAS His Say TO the New En-

. The New England Society held Its first
annual festival at the Continental Hotel,
Philadelphia, ON the evening Of December

the Pilgrims, and Mark Twain had the foot

They had been three or four months at sea

frozen. Why shouldn't they land? If they

A BEAUTY FACTORY.
Making Homely woman's Face Daub
OF Fancy Cosmetics.
N. =. Corr. Chicaoo Inter Ocean.

~ Z. Corr. Chicago Inter Ocean.
My conversation with the proprietress of
the "beau.ifying establishment was inter-
rupted by lady Of uncertain age and pim-
Piled skin, who remarked that, having ar
rived at the conclusion that 1t was woman's
duty to make the most of her looks, she had
come to the madame for assistance.
"That's rightT' said the madame cheerily.
81 can make you 50 good-looking that your
own husband won't know YOU"
The lady's expression grew a trife dubi-
GUS at this, but the professor began.
First, you must learn to smile frequently;
notice your face Is naturally grave. There
Is nothing men like so much Is q smile, es-
pecially when II comes from pretty mouth,
and mere soupcon Of my lip-dew will make
yours fresh and red, and by rubbing little
extra on the middle of the lip you can OBJ
tain positively voiuptuous effect"
''But my complexion" interrupted the
visitor anxiously.
'Oh, can fix all that. Just let me show
you," and she seated the lady in front of
mirror, whipped out piece of chamois skin,
dipped it In creamy liquid and polished off
the lady's face; then she powdered it we'll,
rubbed some rouge OH the faded cheeks,
tinted the lips, penciled the brows and, pres
to there was another woman.
On the stage she would have looked very
well, but near to the cosmetics could not
conceal either themselves, the harsh outlines
or the dim eyes, or the lack of youths round
ness. The poor thing hardly knew whether
to be delighted or appalled,, but when the
madame went into an ecstacy and exclaimed
Beautiful, beautiful; there could not be q
greater SUGGEST" she concluded to be de-
lighted.
"What do owe you ?" she asked.
"Ten dollars for the makeup and mate
rails which I will furnish you," and the
woman, meekly as lamb, handed over
gold piece and departed with a packet of
powders and salves.

Say '4good morning. or "good evening" To
the hostess on leaving the room. "Solong

If there are seventy-tive or one hundred
persons In the room 1t Is not necessary fol
you to shake hands all round.
DO not be IN haste to 90 down to dinner
without waiting for a tardy guest. Give him
at least thirty minutes. You may have to
get down on your hands and knees and
crawl around and feel for lost collar-but-
ton yourself some time.
Upon introduction to young lady, i'm.
mediately ask her age and the size of her
shoes. This will put you on All easy con-
versational plane.
In society note requires as prompt an
swer as spoken question. And In the bank
1t requires great deal prompter one. Do
not thank any one who waits on you at the
table. Look wan and hungry as though you
wanted more.
To tilt back In your chair and drum idly
