We sometimes feel, remarks the Nir-
ginia City Enterprise, that we are pref
" well up in the world here on the
Comstock, particularly in winter, but
we are only little over 1000 feet above
the level of the sea. This, in some
places, would be looked upon almost as
being down on the plain. yet many per-
sons complain Of the lightness OF the
atmosphere in this city. Even here
the housewife finds some difficulty in
cooking meats and vegetables by boil
inc. Water boilS here at a temperature
too low to cook some kinds Of food. There
is every year complaint that peas
brought from California are rs hard n
buckshot. The trouble Is that the
water does not become sufficiently hot
to cook them. Here, when either meat
or vegetables are being cooked by boil
inc. the vessel should have a close-it-
ting lid in order that the steam may be
confined. There is, of course, no
trouble about roasting meats or any
thing else, fire being rs hot here as in
any other part of the world. While
strangers complain much OF the thin
ness of our atmosphere, old settlers are
not much distressed, and children born
and reared here seem not to suffer IN
convenience in any way. They race up
aud down the sides of the mountains at
full speed without finding any difficulty
in breathing. Their lungs are large
enough TO take in all the air, light as it
is, that they require. Nature provides
lungs for almost every altitude to those
who are born and grow up on the spot.
There has been u great deal OF dis
cussion recently as to the altitude at
which human beings can exist. In
South America there are towns, such as
Potosi placed as high as the top OF
Mount Bland, the inhabitants Of which

Mr.. Ed McClintock. in company with
Mr.. Clifton Bell, left Denver for Sara
toga recently. This is McClintock' $
first visit east since the era of steam
boats and railways began. He never
saw steamboat in his life, and this
ride is the first he ever took on Il rail-
way train. He started west from his
home in Kentucky in 1919, when the
first news of gold discoveries in Cali
fornia reached his native town. He was
u mere boy at the time. but he drove an
OK team in the first overland train that
ever crossed the continent.
When the Pike peak or bust fever
was at its height, in 1889, he drifted
back to Colorado, and has remained
here ever since. He has made and lost
millions in mines and real estate. At
one time he owned thrcc-fourths of the
present site of Denver, and traded it OFT
for pair of French calf boots, a pound
of plug tobacco. and burro. At pres
ent he is not worth more than half a
million He would not have gone east
at this time but for his intense desire to
see Clifton Bells fine lilly Lady Trump

stables. If the tilly wins Ed will paint
Saratoga red for few days. If she
loses he is very likely to walk home. -

The SaleSHoman.

An American lady who has resided
abroad long enough to imbbe foreign
ideas, asserts that the shop manners in
America are the worst in the world,
assigning as reason for this unfortu-
nate state of affairs that the salcswOmen
ARE generally of the humblcst origin,
and are too ignorant even to appreciate
the virtue of COURTESY This is 4
sweeping assertion, and is in the main
Incorrect. Thirty years ago shop-girl
might have been looked upon with con-
tempt. because it was only the woman
who dared who filled any responsible
position public life in this new country;
but to-day it is the woman who makes
the position respectable. not the posi-
ton that subjects the woman to its DOM
ination, and the best blood of the
nation flows to-day in the veins of the
shop-girls. In their ranks may be
found the daughters of clergymen,
of generals of tie army, senators, and
the pennless heirs to pedigree for
which the members of the new dynasty
would gladly exchange some OF their
superiluous wealth. And this lady Is
on the wrong side of the counter to
Judge of their politeness. Ii would
probably enlighten her if the shop-girl
should tell her the experience gained
on the inside of the counter-of the wo-
men who want to buy and can never
make up their minds what to get, who
would tumble u dozen boxes of Lace to
select one yard of another kind, who
question the shop-girls about the goods
as if she were personally responsible for
their manufacture, who cheaper and

The Outlook for Wool.

but there has been no Improvement IL
prices. The demand for consumption
however, has been, and still continue
steady, with no indications at present Z"
any material change in prices. One OF Tia
distinguishing features OF the wool rait
this season has been the entire absence OF
speculation which Is due largely to the
fact that there has been no sharp cumpr,l'
ton, not even to secure the choice woods
Uncertainties as to the effect Of the new
tariff. and an overstaCked market, com
b,ned to lower the price Of wool; but thai
hard pan has been reached, appears to bt
the opinion of nearly everybody. II Is
now conceded that the tariff has not affect
ed American manufacturers rs unfivOr'
ably as was expected. A number OF mills
stopped during the season, and the surplus
goods are being worked off. In this con
nection the following from the consular
reports for August, Is an extract IRON thai
of Consul Dockery, OF Leeds, England
and is significant: during the agitation
which preceded the enactment of the new
tariff law, 1t was anticipated here that a
more liberal schedule of duties would be
adopted, aud the hopes OF manufacturers
were accordingly only raised for the mo-
ment, as it were, and the complaints in
consequence, increased daily.
The wooden trade of the district IS IN a
very depressed condition. 1t has been SO
for a long time. There is no money 10 bp
made in 1t now, nor has any been made for
the past ten years.
From this, and other facts bearing on
the subject, it now looks as though our
market will be helu as successfully against
foreign woolens as before the new tariff
went into effect. In regard to foreign
woods. business throughout the past month
was light The London wool sales, as we
stated last week, are progressing, and thus
far no sales are reported on American ac-
count.
The outlook, we believe, Is not now as
uniavorable to wool growers rs 1t WAS a
month ago. Wool is low, but 1t is not i'm
probable that prices will improve. 1t Is
hclIevcd that the stock Of wool in the
Central Western States is not rs large as
that of last year. Certain II is that sup
plies are held firmly at lignres on par
and IN some cases, above eastern values
