A New Way OF Advertising.

An ingenious professor of music has
hit upon a novel method of simultane-
ously advertising his entertainments
and demonstrating the beneficial
effects of total abstinence from in
toxicating liquors by offering to give
from the proceeds of his concerts the
sum of 10 guineas, in the proportion
of 1 guinea to each concert, to ten
destitute families that had been tee
totalers for a period of three years.
The announcement of the promised
premiums was made throughout the
kipgdom, and nineteen applications
| for relief were sent in. These applica-
tons were all 'locally investigated"
and the reports thereon were submit
ted to ga committee of literary men
connected with the temperance move
ment." The decision of the literates
is to the effect that only six of the
cases came properly within \the
designation of destitute teetotal
families" and as many guineas have
been forwarded to the families whose
teetotalism had stood the test of s'local
investigation. The committee of
"literary men connected with the
temperance movement" append to
their report the remark that it is i'm
portant and interesting that out of
some millions of teetotalers there
should be so few in actual distress;
and it is argued that the fact speaks
well for the habits of thrift and pru-
dence which evidently characterize
the teetotal community. Finally it
10 cfotad tbot MANLY oil tba oocoe of
poverty which came under the notice
Of the committee resulted from the
sickness or death of the breadwinner
of the family. 1t is common saying
that it is possible to prove too much;
and, in their complacent anxiety to
show that the teetotalers have
monopoly of thrifty and prudent
habits, the committee of literary men
connected With the temperance move
ment" have let somewhat embarrass-
ing cat out of the bag. Nearly all
the cases Of poverty, they say, which
came unde1ttheil notice resulted from
the sickness or death of the breadwin-
ner of the family. If the breadwinners
were so nightly prudent and thrifty,
how comes it that Immediately they
fell sick or died their families fell into
a state of destitutionP Somehow or
another the thrifty and prudent bread
winners must have spent all their
while they were in full health
and work, and if they had laid by
for rainy day their destitute
family might jdst as well have been
the families of so many sots.-London

Tailors and Lady Customers.

Tailors, as a rule, do not wish to
work for women. Says one: Ladies
are very exacting, and worry man
nearly to death with tie burden of in
structions which they give. Then they
will come to the store and spend near
ly the whole morning in trying the gar
ment on and in giving directions as to
what alterations may be necessary.
After trying your patience to the ut
most they leave, and you think that
you have at last got rid of them, but
nine times out of ten they will return
in the afternoon with friend who is
very.anxious to inspect the new dress,
or ulster, or whatever il may be-"
Tailors charge well for CHS attention,
but they cannot charge enough "to
recompense them fol- the trouble and
worry" Ladies Pay about half again
as much for worX as men do, bat that
is not near as much as they pay their
women dresl makers.
And yet Thave seen men in tailor
shops so particular that if any woman
could be more so it is marvel there is
not a special asylum for lunatic tailors.

A Use for Peach Stones.

-olling along River street early
every morning for the past few weeks
might have been seen a gray-haired
son of Italy with a good stout bag over
his shoulder. His eyes were being
first cast from the sidewalk to the gut
ter and then vice versa. Now and
then he would stoop and pick up a
peach stone and put it in his bag, and
then move on as before.
"What do you do with themp" was
asked of him the other morning.
30, me cracker de nutter, seller de
same candy store" was his response.
The man, it appeared, would gather
bag full of these peach stones, and,
going home, would set his family at
work cracking them open. The shells,
or outsides, are used for fuel purposes,
while the kernel is saved until after
the peach season, when they are sold
to druggists and confectioners, where
they are known as bitter almonds.
The price paid the Italian for the gath
erings is about 20 cents per pound

You're dainty little elf.
II / had not wooed and missed her,

So this proffered OSCILLATION
Cometh from combination

And a love laid on the shelf.

All this to appreciate.

One unlucky exclamation,
Quite beyond all expectation,
Brought to light situation,
Which decided there my fate.
Those dark eyes would tempt Titan,
With the tangled curls above.
You're miniature edition
OF the girl used to love;
But you have not reached the station,
Where your normal occupation
Is desperate filtration
With some poor, deluded cove.
Iou are pretty-and you know it
With those eyes Of dusky hue.
Probably you will outgrow it;
Pretty children often do.
Now you know the situation
That hold to your relation,
You must not express negation
If crave kiss of you.

YOU'RE a dainty little elf.

You do very well yourself.

Now love maid of station
And abundant store of pelf.

The New Discovery at Patterson.

Our Hamilton correspondent sends
us the following concerning the new
mining discovery In Patterson Dis
trict : Some time since Mr.. Flowers,
formerly of the Truckee mine, went
out there and found the appearance
of the locality quite favorable for min
eral in his opinion. He returned, and
Mathewson Bros. becoming intereslo cd
in tho scheme, went back aud COM
inenced work. a. MiImarth and Il
Mr.. Rosevere went with him. They
went to work in n small open cut,
which is by itself some distance up
the mountain from where most of the
original workings were made. With
but little labor they found only a few
feet to the left of the original cut, and
almost upon the surface, the pocket
or ledge-whichever it may be-that
they are now in. They are still en-
gagged stripping the deposit, without
having reached its terminus. Il is
pitching downward, and they expect
after a few feet further 10 go underline
surface, which will be n great advan-
tago ut this severe season. Mr.. j. b.
Mathewson and Col. Coulter have
been out there and speak favorably
of the new find. g. A. Mathewson
and Thomas Mckinney are now max
ing a p~rotrac ted visit there. Assays
from samples of the ore brought TO
Hamilton, range from sos to $l,484
per ton, the former sum being the
lowest of any made. the mine Is
about mile up the mountain from
the original town site Of Montezuma,
three miles from the now travelled
stage road and nine miles from Par
ker's Station. The discoveries think
they have IA good thing, and everyone
in this section will rejoice If such
proves to be the case.

II will be seen that the product of
1883 shows a decrease from nearly all
sources over 1882. The only excep-
tons arc Idaho, Montana, and the
west cost OF Mexico. While the State
of Nevada shows a decrease OF ST.

Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1884-06-05

It has recently transpired that
an artist in San Francisco opened a
class for young ladies to enable them
to draw the nude male form. He
placed man behind a serene. and
when leg or an arm was wanted
he thrust it through hole, and the
member was drawn by the class.
Thus the young ladies became ac-
quainted with the man in sections:
but did not know him as an entire
ty. After they had studied him
in parts, they were instructed to
put him together on paper from
memory, and the result was sort OF
anatomical chaos. 4 father raided
the art class and there was ludl-
crous scene Of 2 man trying to
jump into his clothes, and a lot OF
young ladies all broken up. Here
is a chance for the illustrated pa
pers at the Bay to throw them
selves.
