The Water Decision

1t was generally supposed that
the findings in the water case Of
Schulz VS.. Sweeny would decide
whether or not the fume company
had right to dispose Of water af-
ter it had left their fume. sweeny
claimed the water on the grounds
of having purchased it from the
fume company, while Schulz
claimed that the company had no
right to sell. By the decision, the
question of the water company S
rights in the matter were not
touched upon. The case will be
appealed by the defendant to the
Supreme Court.

ALICE EgAEHEs0Y.
The Charming AouDrette to AD-
pear This Evening.

Alice Harrison, the popular SOU
brette, will appear in the Opera
house this evening IN Hot Water
a musical farce.
OF the play the Globe says:
Hot Water" is the title Of the
comedy and from all accounts a
more appropriate name could not
have been suggested. The manage
meat has spared no means to give
'Hot Water a perfect scenic as well
as artistic representation. There
will be new and novel mechanical
effects, the revolving iolly-go-rounds
flying balloons, break-away ceilings,
and many other contrivances too
numerous to mention.
Hot Water, beyond doubt
will prove a success, and a good en-
gagement is therefore assured. Miss
Harrison is too we'll known as an
actress to need any extended COM
ment. 1t is not hard to recognize
the ability of such artists as Chas.
S. Dickson. Frank David, Charles
W. Allison, Helen Sedgwick. Ada
Moron, and Charles Mccarthy.
The plot of Hot Water" deals
with the difficulties that surround
the rakish course Of two convivlal
brothers who are in Paris with their
wives. The mixing of hats is a
leading idea of Hot Water, and
astonishing confusion results from
the finding by the injured wives of
curious notes inside the head
covering of their husbands. There
is a great deal of music, culled i'm
partially from favorite light operas.
Alice Harrison introduces some
funny Mikado business, repeating
her Improvisation of the little maid
from school with great effectiveness
Helen dgwick and Ada Morton
as the injured wives are lively and
fascinating, and the cast throughout
is we'll balanced and capable. As
vehicle for creating laughter, eliot

NEyADA'S FINE DISPLAY.
How Commissioner EEavenOr is
Showing the sage Brush state.

Showing the sage Brush state.
The New Orleans Times has the
following to say of Nevada's exhibit
at New Orleans.
The exhibit of Nevada was one OF
the first in place at the Exposition,
and has since attracted great atten-
ton from every class of visitors.
No display in the buildingi is deserv-
ing of more study, for the farmer,
miner, student, scientist and gen
eral observer will find that he is
amply repaid for whatever time he
expends in viewing the productions
of that favored State, 1t has been
the desire Of Commissioner Have
nor to present the resources of
the State in such manner that the
visitors can get a correct idea of her
resources without any very great
study. To this end he has collect
ed his exhibits carefully and ar
ranged them to the best advan-
tage. He has gone about his work
intelligently and energetlcally and
is rewarded by seeing his efforts
crowned with success.
The mineral exhibit consists of
ores from each of the IA counties
in the State; fine specimens of leaf
crystalized and other ores of gold,
rich specimens of native ruby, wire
and horn silver, stephanite, chic
ride, carbonate and other ores OF
silver, numerous specimens of cboalt
and nickle galena, copper, antimony,
manganese, sulphur, cinnabar, alu-
nina, mica, gypsum, salt, kaolin,
silica, crude and manufactured
borax, crude and manufactured
soda, rare petrifactions and geologl-
cal specimens.
There i. also an interesting collec-
ton of basket-ware and curios,
fine exhibit of photographs, show
ing the mines, hosting works and
many places of interest
Her fields and gardens are repre-
sented by collections Of all the
fruits grown in Nevada, dried and
preserved; POO varieties Of the finest
apples, mammoth spuds, cheese,
honey, timothy and alfalfa hay,
which is not excelled i'll the Exposi-
ton.
As a mining State, Nevada has
1907, 100000 to her credit, and is
producing yearly between S., 5000, 900
to $4,000, 900 in gold and silver and
her mountains scarcely prospected.
As a stock State, it has at pre-
sent 100000 head of the highest
grade Of beef cattle, commanding
the highest price in the Eastern
and Western markets.
AS an agricultural State, the yield
per acre of grain, potatoes, vegeta-
bles, etc, is the highest in the
United States. Improved lands,
with water for irrigation, is worth
from $40 to $50 per acre, according
to location. Thousands of acres
of State and railroad lands can be
purchased for from 81 % to 81 80
per acre. The climate is dry and
healthy, while the school system is
most excellent.
All Of the States many advan-
tages are presented at the EXPOSE
ton. The taste shown in the
mounting arrangement and the
careful labelling of specimens are a
credit both to the State and her

Walking and Swimming.

Every healthy person, man or woman,
should he a good walker, able at any time
TO walk six TO twelve miles a day at least
and double that when gradually brough,
up to it, The points to he attended are,
10 see that the walk be brisk and vigorous,
not of lettering or dangling kind: that
there be some object in the walk besides
its being "a routine constiuuonal-i C.,
not like the staid promenade of the ortho.
doX ladies schooJ, and, if possible, in
| pleasant company; that there be no tight
clothing, whether for the feet or the body,
snich will constrain or impede the nat
ural movements Of the limbs and trunk
and that the walk to DC taken as far as
! possible in The fresh country air
In regard to this latter particular, al.
though the towns are increasing so rapidly
as to maze it almost journey to get out
of them on foot, still we have 50 many
suburban tramwa}s and railway lines that
in few minutes we can find ourselves in
| the country, where the air is fresh and
| pure. Whenever an opportunity presents
itself for little climbing in the course of
walk, it should be taken advantage of.
| We gain variety OF muscular action, as
well as increase the cXertion. and we get
into the realms of purer air and tresher
| breeze at the same time W hat may be
considered as the weak point in walking
as mode of exercise is the comparatively
small pay which it gives to the muscles
of the shoulders and chest while it is still
less for those of the arm. This should be
compensated for by the use Of light dumb
bells or Indian clubs, or some other form
OF exercise which brings in play the arms
and shoulders.
One of the forms of exercise which re-
quires the action of the muscles of the
arms aud shoulders, as well as those Of
the trunks and le4s, is swimrling. This,
however, for many reasons, cannot be
used as means of exercise except by q
few, and at certain seasons of the year,
but where possible it should be practiced
The great pity is that boys and Girls do
not learn it, as rule while ut school
Every large town should be well provided
with swimming baths. and if it could be
made compulsory for scholars at a certain
age, say -, to learn to swim, it would be
"A great advantage to all, and also be the
means of saving many lives

A Strange Arabian sect.


A court was filed with the forms of
Arab men and women sluatting on sacr d
mats, aud facing platform where eight
Arabs engaged in a fantastic and fascin
ating dance As the musicians began to
play slowly they moved the upper parts of
their bodies forward and backward and
from SIDE to side Gradually the music
became faster, and faster and faster they
went, throwing their limbs and bodies
about in almost inconccivablc positions,
until could scarcely believe that the
rapidly whirling mass before ne were
human beings.
Several hundred years ago there lived
in paShalik of Arabia, a learned mara
bout '(priesU who gathered about him
many disciples, but as his teachings were
not consistent with the koran he drew
upon himself the enmity of the reigning
pacha, who lanished him and his disci-
pies to the desert of Sahara, whittier they
were taken and left without food OF
water. Then the marabout arose, de-
caring he had received revelation from
heaven telling him that nothing they
would eat would injure them.
Accordingly they Toasted upon
scorpions, snakes, and pricllly- pear
leaves. When this miracle came to the
ears OF The pasha he entlced tncm ny o.
fers of pardon to his palace. He threw
them into dungeon filed with scorpions,
bits of crockery, glass, and other similar
tonics, and told them they would not be
released until they ate everything. 1t was
no difficult task, as they HAD been grow,
ing fat on the same sort of food. Tho
pasha. having seen them eat, granted
them all a full pardon, and made All Ben
his yilier The DIES endants Of All and his
disciples formed a Sc t callei,Aissaouas,
who every year, on the anniN ersary of the
trial in the dungeon, celebrate the event
in the manner | have described. | am
told that in some p aces the sect still cal

a Remarkable Relic.



This little narrow rom which the gov
ernor occupies is the same IN which the
declaration of Venezuelan independence
was signed, and upon its walls hangs a
picture commemorating The event.
Strangely enough beside this painting
of tue decree OF liberty hangs heavy gilt
frame containing the banner which III
zarro carried in the con quest of Peru
the rarcst and most Interesting relic
in all South America. 1t is about
four feet square, of heavy pink silk,
faded almost to white, embroidered with
gold by the .ir hands of Queen Isabella
herself, the design being the combined es
cutcheons of Arragon and CASTLE in an
excellent state of preservation, 1t is with
the kecncst irony of contrast that this
age begrimed banner should hang in the
room where the first voice was raised
against the tyranny it represented, here
beside the document, scarcely legibe now
to the eye but to the mind speaking with
mighty force the long story of Spanish
oppression, and illustrating the first feeble
and unsuccessful protest

Tree. planting is be omiug almost uni
versal on the great prarics Of Minnesota,
Dakota, Kansas and Nebraska, where it
once was believed no tree would grow
Many causes have contributed to this re.
markable result, prominent among them
being the timbcr.culture act passed by
congress ten years ago, amended in 1874
and again in 1879. AlrcaI 80, 2iG entries
have been made. the area covered by them
being 1861 lac acres. Nearly one-filth
OF this asst area was entered" in 1882,
which shows the growing influence Of the
princcE premiums o. cred by congress
and by many of the Western States to en-
courge tree planting.
The timber act may need further
amendment to prevent frauds, but recent
inquiries of those who have had the
largest experience and observation in Min.
nesota, Dakota, Iowa. Nebraska and
Kansas convince me that its hene Is have
been so manifest a. strongly to commend
it to the people in those states. Many
settlers have planted much more than the
required ten acres in their 100 acres, or
quarter section" said a Nebraskan.
I'VE have thousands Of trees, thirty 10
forty feet in height aud eight or nine
inches in diameter grown from seedlings
or cuttings planted less than ten years
ago. The fuel problem is settled for
many farmers. The trees and land are
