Fish. DestrOying Pclicans.

Washoo Lake is covered with peli-
cans and seagulls. Hy Downs was III
town Saturday, and Informed us that he
had been watching the pelicaus through
a powerful field glass and saw them
start along the edge of the tulcs aud
catch thousands of catfish aad perch.
Edward Harris was down to the little
lake last week and killed five in oae
shot. Ho opened them and found the
sack under tho bill full of fish, the
bones Of some OF the catfish being four
teen inchos long. The scagulls catch
the small fish along tho eastern shore.
With this combination, if the sporting
men don attend to it soon, the lake
will in short time be clear of fish.
The pelicnns live in the tues from the
old windmill to Franl1town aud can BIO
easily got. A person CON crawl up
nearly close enough to kill them with a
fishing pole. lily says that there arc
about five thousand of them, and that
they feed about five times q day aud
catch from five to eight every time they
feed. At this rate it won't be long be-
forc.thc lake will have no fish in it.
These birds can be easily driven off.
Let the Carson sportsmen go to the
south end Of the lake with their shot
gus and the Storey County sportsmen
to the north cnl. ard Franktown and
Washoc Cityto the west side and kill
as many as they can and in few days
they will disappear. 1t is too Lad to
see about the only sport we have in the
way Of fishing, and SO near home, go to
ruin by these birls.-[Csrson Neb.)

Women In Business.

Women who go into business, from either
choice or necessity, should acquire bust
ness habits, adopt business methods and
possess themselves of all knowledge OF de-
tails and general information. There
should be no sentiment about it; they should
expect no immunity from disagreeables on
the score of being "ladies;" their pros
pect of marriage should have no more ef-
feet on their work than it has with that of
men. Their dress should suit the require
mcnts Of the occupation. In no dress does
girl look neater, prettier or more graceful
than that adopted for gymnastics or lawn
tennis, both of which give fullest play for
all amusements. How much better would
many working girls look and feel and work
in such dresses than in the gaudy, tawdry
finery so many of them wear These
should have their business suits just as
men do. They should also realize that in
obtaining employment weak backs and pale
faces and general debility are at dis
count. They should expect no favors on
the score of sex; they should call for no
privileges; they should call for no foolish
notions as to chivalry and Difference, and
all that. Business is business and this is
not an age of chivalry, but an age of politi-
cal economy and the survival of the fttiest.

this subject, since we have made but
trifing efforts in this line outside of

enough to support the conclusion that

yields thirty to fifty bushels per
