Gambling Nevada Miners.

The Comstoek lode disburses quar-.
ter of o million in coin monthly among
the miners of Virginia Citv, Nevada.
The question is often asked "Where
does the money goi' The largest por-
ton goes to the proprictors CT the gamb.
ling dens with which every mining city
Is tictcd. The expenses Mt the Magno.
liz last year were 81, 900. Two iaro
games and Que percentage poker game
are run on the premises. n firm of
three partners, who employ five dealers
at salary of $3.50 day in operating
the fnro games, run the establishment.
but they are wise men and at no time
docs the capital invested exceed $4,000.
They employ two lease keepers" and
gin peddler, each rccciv ng - per day,
and the members of the firm draw $40
each per day from the account Two
dealers, who receive So each per day for
their services, run the percentage poker
game, making total of S.,2. 20 disburscd
daily in salaries. Incidental expenses
send the bill per day to $780,
Estimating the pro.ts at $50. 900 it
will be seen that the establishment
absorbs about 100000 yearly from the
miners hard earned coin.
The other places do an equally tbriv.
ing business, and, therefore, it may be
stated, without fear of denial, that $500,
00U of the miners money are rakcd in
yearly over the gamblers tables.
There are also a number of private
games "roasting" the town, and this
fact accounts for $50. 00J more. The
total expenses of feeding and clothing
the men decently amount to $43G, 0Oj.
The saloons and cigar stores get p; oba-
bly, $50, 900 month, OF $3.50, 900 y ar
The banks catch about $4,000 per day, or
| $40, 900 year, sending the amount up
to 81, $50, 900.
While probably $3.50, 0Oo is laid away
yearly for n rainy day through the
medium of the banks, there is no know
ing how much is stored in mattresses,
old stocking, etc., but it is known that
some of the miners buy stock in various
mines, for the speculative fever is strong.

RcndcrInp Lard.

A prominent Chicago packer gives the
following directions for rendering lard
SO it will be nicc and white: Grind
the fat or chop it as you would sausage
meat, where you have but small guam
tity, using the choppng bowl and potato
mashcr. The object is to get the fat
into such condition that the tissue and
fibrinc will separate quickly from the
clear fat. Now, by the mild heat and
constant stirring, melt TO the consistency
OF thin Cruel, then scatter salt enough
over tho surface TO carry down oil the
scraps. Salt does not melt in pure lard,
and therefore will not give it saline
taste. Then allow it to settle, and dip
the clear fat out into vessel, using a
strainer, or into another kettle, 30 as to
remove all scraps from tho bottom.
After removal of scraps, cook for fifteen
minutes, SO rs to roast any scraps still
remaining in tho fat. and your lard Is
ready to put away and will keep as long
ms wanted. To keep lard it is necessary
to raise the heat Mt $50 degrees. 1t mcts
at 10 to 40 degrees. Let our farmers
and their wives try the above method
and they will never 90 back to the old
way of cooking lard again. In answer
to an inquiry as to how to prevent lard
from boiling over while cooking, put in
n little salt. This is the best known
remedy. --M,o York Herald.

The Cabinet in Session.

The President prc,idcs, seated at the
head of long table. facing north; on
his right are seated the Secretary OF
State, the Secretary of War and Post
master Generals on his left are the Sec
rotary Of tie Treasury, the Secretary of
the Navy and the Attorney-Gencral ;
and opposite to him, at the foot of the
table, is The chair of the Secretary of the
Interior. The private secretary occu-
pies seat at a small desk facing the
southern window and near the Prcsi-
dent. This arrangement is not in accord
ance with the order of precedence OBJ
served by Congress i'll establishing the
Presidential succession. If the Attorney
General and Secretary of the Navy
should change seats, bringing the former
fourth and the latter siXth-thc rank
alternating across the tablc-the order
would be strictly correct.
The sessions of the Cabinet are in
formal affairs. No persons except those
named are permitted to enter the room
during the councils, and no Official record
of the proceedings is kept. The bust
ness done or discussed covers all leading
subjects belonging to the various
branches on which the President may dc
sire information or advice-department
reports concerning special matters o
importance, appointments to office, ant
questions of general administrative
policy. Nicholas.

TrIckfng Bogus Critics.

A st. Paul gentleman, who many
years ago was q resident of Cincinnati,
tells q story. concerning Powers, the
sculptor, which has probably never
been in print There were at that time
in Cincinnati two or three connoisseurs
in art who assumed sort of general
censorship in such matters, and every
thing that they said concerning matters
of art was supposed to go" They
had unfavorably criticised some of
Powers work, and, rs he did not take
much stock in their dictations anyway,
he decided to show them up to the art
people of the city. He was working
in some wax, and announced recep-
ton at which he would show some Of
the latest products of his genius. /
Among the figures was one represent
ing the Mayor of the city. 1t stood in
niche by itself, with the light ar
ranged for the best effect The high
muokamucks of tho art world of Gin
cinnati attended the reception. They
examined the figure of the Mayor, ind
made comment on it. "The hands,"
remarked one, do not reveal any anat-
omy." THE l gs are trile short"
said anoth #, "but otherwise I consider
it very fine figure" Aud so they
went on. One of them finally discov-
cred that some ching was wrong about
the bridge of the nose, and raised his
hand to point out the defect. damn
you, don't you pinch my nosc," cried
the alleged wax figure, to their as
constituent, dismay, and complete
overthrow as art critics. The sculptor
had induced the real live Mayor to help
him i'll his little scheme.-St Paul

How to Olean SILK.

F.. For every quart of water required to
cleanse the silk pare and grate one large
potato in the water, which must be cold,
and let stand for two days without dis
