The Pioche weekly record. [volume] (Pioche, Nev.) 1877-1900, 1886-05-22

The Virginia Chronicle tells this: The
owner OF a stable in this city purchased
a load Of baled hay from Truckee
Meadows rancher several weeks ago, and
was astonished on opening one of the
bales to find bowlder weighing ninety
pounds in the center Of it. The hay
showers on the Meadows must possess
herculean strength to toss a bowlder of
that weight into hay press without
knowing it. The hay is OF the variety
known as California Clover, stalks being
nearly as thick as limb wood and possess.
ing nearly as much nutriment. These
powders in hay arise from the rapid
growth Of alfalfa. Frequently in good
growing weather the alfalfa will shoot up
50 fast under the genial sun to take
powders along with ii and oi course
these get in the hay. The ground here
is SO strong that the thing cannot be well
avoided. Sometimes when bailing press
is being run by steam powders are drawn
into the vortex, so to speak, so rapidly
that the balers do not notice them.
When you get the large rocks in the hay
all you have to do is to pick them Out
and ship them back to the rancher and
get credit for them. Any good harvest
| rancher will give full credit for tbs
powders in hay.

Formerly it was the home Of the Indians.
Since the days Of civilization, however,
it has been utilized for sheep and goat
ranges. A few years ago 10000 sheep
and 10000 goats found sasteasnce upon
it. Vegetation, partly owing to the
abundance of water, keeps green all the

TAKE YOUR WIFES ADVICE.
How many Men are Ruined and
Why Female Instinct il often better
than Masculine Reason.

Many a well-meanirg man has been ruin
ed before now, because he failed to take his
wife's advice. Some friend may have persua-
ded him to 60 intoa business venture which
his wife's finer instincts told her was not a
good one but he neglected her suggestions
and lost his money. Many a man has pooh
poohed at his wife's suggestion that he take
better care of his health, and only when he
has been brought TO bed of sickness or per-
haps of death, has he seen how sincere and
good that advice was. Many men have fe's
q bad taste in the mouth, a dull pain in the
head, a lack of energy through the entire
system, sluggish liver, no appetite and yet
have neglected to take their wife's advice to
drive away these evils. They sought re-
newal of energy by drinking or allowing
these symptoms to run into disease and dis
ease into death, when it might all have been
avoided had they taken their wife's advice.
A well-to-do resident of Baltimore who
keeps a grocery store on Eutaw Street, new
er went home TO his family at night without
feeling all tired out with no appetite for his
supper and no taste for enjoyment with his
family. His wifes quick instincts noticed
his gradual decline and she urged mm to
take preparation for such troubles, which
she had heard many OF her friends and neigh
bors speak most highly of. He ridiculed the
idea; said he was only feeling n little poor
ly, and would be better in n few days; but
in few days he was worse and in few
weeks he was In bed and the doctor shaking
his head most solemuly. Then he consent
ed to take his wifes advice and ia less than
ten days he was back to business, was strong
and vigorous, anu has been kept in perfect
health ever since, wholly by the use of Volt
ma Cordial. This remarkable preparation,
which has awakened such interest III the To-
calities where it has been best known seems
to be working wonderful change in the
health and energy OF the people who are
weakened by disease, overburdened 10y care,
or broken down by overwork 1t is recomend-
ed by the greatest scientific authorities, as the
best tonic and gentle stimulator known, and
the wonderful results it is achieving, prove
that these recommendations are most true.

SINGULAR DEFORMITY.

One Of the greatest physical curios-
tiles Of the age has been found in
Laurens county, S. G. Darwin's
missing link has been discovered.
The fact that a boy now over II years
Of age still wears dresses, has long ex-
cited the curiosity of the Darrah COM
munlty in Laurens county. His pa
rents explained this by saying that
he was deformed and could not wear
ordinary trousers. The boy runs and
jumps as well as other children, and
shows no signs of deiormity. The
mystery has been solved by a physi-
clan who recently attended him
while he had fever. He says that the
boys backbone is prolonged into
tail about eight inches in length, and
that is covered with thick growth
Of hair. The tail wags just like 4
dogs. His parents made several at
tempts to make the boy wear trous-
ers, but whenever the caudal appen-
dage is bent to one side it pains him.
The boy is active and in perfect
health.

WHAT A SMILE DID.

A lady Of position and property,
anxious about her neighbors, provided
religious services for them. She was
very deaf-could scarcely hear at all.
On one occasion one of her preachers
managed to make her understand
him, and Mt the close of their CONVEX
sation, asked, "But what part do you
take in the work p "Oh, she replied,
81 smile them in, and | smile them
out :. Very soon the preacher saw
the result Of her generous, loving
sympathy in multitude of broad
shouldered, hard-fsted men, who en-
tered the place Of worship, delighted
to get smile from her as she used to
stand in the doorway to receive
them. Why do not the working
classes'attend the house of God Z"
They would, in great numbers, if
selfdenying, Christ-loying Chris
tians would smile them in, and smile
them out,

PROVED 4 PRRIuRER.

In large factory, in which were
employed several hundred persons.
one OF the workmen, in welding a
hammer, carelessly allowed it to slip
from his hand. 1t flew half way across
the room, and struck fellow work
man in the left eye This man claim
ed that his eye was blinded by the
blow, although very careful exam
nation Jailed to reveal any injury.
lie brought a suit in the courts for
compensation for the loss Of his eve
sight, and refused all offers of a COM
promise. Under the law, the owner
OF the factory was responsible for an
injury resulting from an accident of
this kind, and although he believed
that the man was shamming, and that
the whole case was an attempt at
swindling, he had about made up his
mind that he would be compelled to
pay the claim.
The day of the trial arrived, and in
open court an eminent oculist, re-
tanned by the defence, examined the
alleged injured member, and gave it
as his opinion that it was as good as
the right eye. Upon the plaintiffs
loud protest of his inability to see
with his left eye, the oculist proved
him a perjurer, and satisfied the court
and jury of the falsity of his claim.
And how do you suppose he did it?
Why, simply by knowing that the
colors green and red combined make
black. He procured black card on
which few words were written with
green ink. Then the plaintiff was
ordered to put on pair Of spectacles
with two different glasses, the one for
The right eye being red, and the one
for the left eye consisting of ordinary
glass. Then he was ordered to read
the writing on it. This he did with
out hesitation, and the cheat was at
once exposed.
The sound right eye, fitted with
the red glass, was unable to distin-
guish the green writing on the black
snrtace Of the card, while the left
eye, which was claimed TO be sight
less, was the one with which the read
ing had to be done. Hatpers Young

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT.

Don't expect an advertisement to
bear fruit in one night.
Bread is the staff of human life, and
and advertising is the staff of bust
ness.
You can't eat enough in week to
last "A year, and you can't advertise
on that plan, either.
A thing worth doing is worth doing
we'll. A thing worth advertising is
worth advertising well.
The enterprising advertiser proves
that he understood how to buy, be-
cause in advertising he knows how to
sell.
If you can arouse curiosity by an
advertisement, it is a great point
gained. The fair sex don't hold all
the curiosity in the world.
People who advertise only once in
three months forget that most folks
cannot remember anything longer
than about seven days.
Quitting advertising in duh times
is like tearing out dam because the
water is low. Either plan will pre-
vent good times from coming.
A constant dropping will wear a
rock. Keep dropping your adver-
tisement on the public and they will
soon melt under it like rock salt.
Trying to do business without adj
yertismeht is like winking at pref
ty girl through pair of green Cog
giles. You may know what you are
doing, but noboey else does.

Some idea of how great fortunes
are made is obtained from suit that
is now pending before Judge Ship
man, of the United States Circuit
Court, in New York city, in which
Mr.. Samuel J. 1ilden is defendant.
According to the published state
ment, Mr. Tilden was induced by a
man named Wetmore to invest in
Michigan iron lands quite number
OF years ago. The amount he
invested was 5000, and the amount
that he realized from the investment
was 81 100000.

SOUTHERN PINE LANDS.

A day or two ago We called atten
ton to the fact that Michigan lum
bermen had bought many thousand.
OF acres Of the best pine lands o
Mississippi and Louisiana at the GOV
eminent price Of 81 25 per acre
These men have had agents in the
pine districts of the South for sever
al years selecting the lands which
contain the best timber, and they
have made their purchases ON the
reports Of these agents.
The pine forests of the Northwest
show marked signs of exhaustion.
while the demand for pine lumber is
steadily increasing. The Michigan
lumbermen, knowing that there are
vast fortunes in the pine forests of
the South, have gone quietly to work
to get monopoly Of them. The time
is not distant when they will begin
to realize their fortunes. Mr.. J. NJ.
Weston, banker at Grand Rapids.
Mich, who has lately inspected the
timber on the lands of the Michigan
lumbermen in the South, stated in
New York a day or two ago, that by
cutting the timber as much as S25,
and perhaps $50 per acre, net, could
be made from the lands ut once. He
said, however, that it is not the pur-
pose to cut the timber now, but to
wait awhile until the demand for it
became more imperative.
There is a considerable idle capital
in the South, and it is somewhat
strange that Southern capitalists
should permit such a splendid oppor-
tunity to make fortunes be, to a great
extent, monopolized by men from the
Northwest. They need have no Tears
that in purchasing pine lands at 81 %
per acre they will lose anything.
while the chances are that in very
short time they would see the lands
worth fully twenty times as much as
they paid for them. Some of the
greatest fortunes in the Northwest
came from the rapid advance in the
value of pine lands, and it is proba-
bic that there are few men in the
South now who own so much pine
timber land that they are really poor
because Of the difficulty they have in
paying their taxes and making their
living expenses, but who will be rich
from the product of these lands in a
very few years.

For six months a young man nam
ed Ferguson, who resided at Great
Falls, Maine, had been failing in
health, despite the care Of the phys
icians, none OF whom could fathom
the cause of his decline. Among
many odd symptoms was that Of a
peculiar choking sensation, which
was not understood until one day a
snake thrustits head out the young
mans mouth. The sick man called
his sister, and she, wrapping cloth
around her hand, when next the hiss
ing head appeared, seized it and with
a quick pull landed the venomous
reptile at her feet. Her action killed
her brother. The tail Of the snake

The Nanderbilts are proving them
selves to be quite liberal. They have
already made several donations to
charitable objects. The four Van
derbilt brothers have just given
S250,000 to add a clinical department
to the College OF Physicians and Sur
geons, which their father established
a short time before his death. Why
should they not use their wealth for
the benefit of humanity? In what
better way can they add to their own
happiness The consciousness of
having done a good deed will be pro-
ductiye of more real happiness than
they can ever hope to gain by spend

or by dSablins their millions.

A novel use is made Of the stereo-
scope to detect forged bank notes. A
note of "a hundred francs was recent
ly submitted to the experts Of the
Bank OF France as issued by band
Of forgers, but the execution was so
perfect that no defeat could be dis
covered by the closest examination.
A suggestion was then made to place
the suspected note side by side with
genuine one in the objective of a
stereoscope, the two images of which,
as we'll known, oyerlay each other
and form single picture. The re-
suit Of the experiment was that the
loop in letter of the forged note
did not exactly cover that of the gem
uine one, showing that they had not
