while there are various rumors reaching
this section regarding probable and pos
sible candidates, there is not a word

choice Of a Senator is a matter OF the
greatest importance to the entire pso-
pie Of Nevada, and a year is not too
long a time for the discussion and con.

the different candidates. You, gentle.

remembered that young Jim was sent as

patch from New York about his wife's
return. He appeared to be in a mild
mood and said he alwaysknew the woman
would return to her children that he had
enough for both of them. The divorce
proceeding could be cancelled and for
the children's sake he would not say nay.
He still believes, however, that the priest
lured her away.

THE REPUBLiCAN SLATE.

A gentleman from the western part Of
the State, who is in position to know,
tells us that the Republican slate is al.
ready made up for next years political
contest in Nevada. Indeed it has been
made upfora good many months. 1t CON-
prises the IN of j. P. Jones for Sena-
tor, w. E. Sharon for Governor and
Frank G.. Newlands, of California, for
Member Of Congress. Our informant
says there is no question that this is the
programme as it has been arranged in
San Francisco by the railroads and the
m~agnates of the leading mines on the
Comstock. We have but little doubt OF
the correctness Of the information. and
further that the goods will be delivered
in the Republican State Convention.
We can think Of but n possible kicker
against the programme, and he lives in
White Pine, and has more ability, within
certain lines, than all of the Republican
leaders put together in Nevada.

BLUE-LINED ENVELOPES.
A Stationer Explains Why They Are 80
Colored Inside.

A Stationer Explains Why They Are %
Colored Inside.
"Why are these envelopes blue on the in.
side?" was the query put to stationer the
other day.
"For very simplereason, was the reply.
"One OF the great results to be attained in
making envelopesis to prevent transparency.
Many white papers are so transparent that
by careful scrutiny the contents of such
envelopes may be determined. For in
stance, let us put sheet of paper with
writing on it into this envelope. Let
us also insert bank check. We will now
seal 1T and hold it to the light thus. There
you can not only see the bank check, but
you can also read many of the words on the
sheet of paper. This can be prevented
either by getting very thick and high
priced envelope which is not transparent,
nor scarcely translucent, or by taking a
cheaper grade of paper which is blue on one
side. Now we sell quite number of blue
envelopes, that is envelopes which are blue
on the outside; but most people do not like
them for their color. So, to get over the
difficulty and still not make a high-priced
article, we use paper which is blue on one
side and white on the other.

GREAT FUN WITH A SNAKE.
Georgin Lawyer Amuses Himself While
Terrifying Other People.

Georgin Lawyer Amuses Himself While
Terrifying Other People.
Albany tGa.) News.I
One of our attorneys highly enjoys practi.
cal jokes, and never loses an opportunity to
play prank on some unsuspecting person.
While he was making preparations to at
tend Baker Superior Court Monday, he did
not fail to prepare Tor a little fun on the
trip. He purchased toy rubber snake
about IA inches in length. No one could
distinguish the difference from a real rep
tile only by close examination.
The lawyer put the snaky thing in his
pocket and started for Newton. When he
reached Camilla he got into hack to ride
up town. The driver was paying all atten-
ton to his housekeeping horses. while the
attorney pulled out his "pet" and eased it
over on the drivers seat. All at once the
driver was startled by an exclamation of
fear from behid, and upon looking around
saw the lawyer shrinking back, pointing to
the front seat. The driver gave one startled
glance at the seat, and then he threw up his
hands and fell backwards out of the hack.
The lawyer gathered the lines and con-
trolled the horses, while the driver searched
for the object of fear, but it had mysteri-
ously disappeared.
The lawyer enjoyed himself hugely in
Newton with his "sell.' but the grand act
was reserved Tor Albany. Arriving at the
depot in this city, he took seat in Temp
Brinson's hack for uptown. Suddenly the
driver discovered monster on the seat with
him. There was terrible "ugh!' and the
driver went out over the wheel. He turned
the butt end of his whip, knocked his snake
ship. out of the seat upon the ground, and
then proceeded to kill it. but after striking
several severe blows, he saw how badly
mistaken he was.

ORIGIN OF THE WORD QUIZ.
A Term That Was Invented in Pursuance Of
Wager.

Term That Was Invented In Pursuance Of
American Agriculturist.
The way in which words come into daily
use is sometimes very curious, and none
perhaps more so than the general adoption
OF the word ''quiz," which originated in q
joke. 1t was one Saturday evening, in the
city of Dublin, Ireland. that gay company
was assembled together, consisting largely
of some ofthe famous wits and men of fash
ion of the day. Among them was Richard
DAILY, then the manager Of. the Irish Thea
ter, and, In a fit Of bravado, he
wagered a large sum that by q
certain hour the next day, he
would have spoken all through
out the city word having no meaning and
being drawn from no known language.
Laughingly the bet was accepted and the
stakes deposited. Accordingly, DAILY has
tened to the theater and dispatched his
servants and supernumeraries in all direc-
tions, with instructions to chalk the word
quiz" on every door and shop-window in
town. Sunday morning dawned, and the
stores being closed, the good people of
Dublin, on their way 70 and from church.
were astonished enough to see this odd sign
confronting them on all sides.
1t caused mach surprise. and "quiz" was
in everybody's mouth, thus winning his
wager for Richard DAILY, while ever since,
when one attempts to pass off an improbable
story, he is apt to be met with the express
sion, s'Oh, you are quizzing mer' "Quiz'
has also found its way into the dictionary
as legitimate word, its meaning being
given as ito puzzle; to hoax" "to look
mockingly at" and ito ridicule or make
sport Of" 1t is also defined in three ways
as a noun, one definition given being "a
riddle or obscure question, an enigma;" a
second, "One who quizzes others;" the
third, "Ap odd fellow" Quizzer, quiz
zical and quizzing-glass are all outgrowths
of the word 'squiz.

Causes Ridiculous Blunders In the Transln-
tIon of His Messages.
Youths Compsnion.l
Mr.. White is famous among his friends for
his illegible handwriting. He is a very
short-sighted man, and dependent upon a
pair of pinch-nose eyeglasses. One day he
was called West suddenly, on business, and
forgot his glasses. He telegraphed to his
wife from the first station, "Send me my
glasses by express to Palmer House, Chi
cago." The telegraph operator got it, "Send
me my dollars by Curtis to Palmer House,
Chicago."
Mrs. White was greatly puzzled when she
received this message, and visit to her hus-
bands office brought her no explanation.
His partner knew nobody named Curtis,
and felt certain that Mr.. White had his
check book with him.
In the meantime, Mr.. White had found in
his pocket a duplicate pair of glasses, pro-
vided for just such an emergency, and had
sent q second telegram, Have found my
other glasses. Never mind about first pair. I"
The second operator had even more trouble
with this message. When it reached Mrs.
White it read, 81 leave around my other
gloves. Never mind about first pair"
1t took two letters to straighten out the
mystery of these messages, and Mr.. Whites
son Fred still preserves them us ''prize
specimens of papa's handwriting"

My Mothers Pumpkin Pies.

When the beautiful autumn time has come
With its wealth of golden days
When river and hill and meadow-land
Are veiled in purple haze,
Down the backward track of the feeting years
Unbidden my memory flies
To the autumn time in my childhood's home,
And to mothers pumpkin pies.
The yellow globes from the field were brought
Amid rapture of childish glee,
For well knew the promise they held
OF delighted things to be-
And mute ana motionless gazed
On the scene with wondering eyes,
While my mother wrought the mystery
Of those famous pumpkin pies.
Meaty and juicy and sweet were they,
And coDjured with infinite care,
With thin, brittle crust of delicate brown,
And flavor beyond compare;
And though should've to three-score and ten
Yet oft will the memory rise
OF those happy times IN my boyhood days,
And my mothers pumpkin pies.

All the winds of thousand years
Point to this night of storm;
The storm will pass and end our fears,
And come again the morn;
But never, on this blessed earth,
Will come to thee or me
Again one hour of Eden's birth
OF love and destiny.
Gods angel with his flaming sword
Guards everv highest way
From lips have broke their plighted word,
From feet have gone astray.
As ever in the glowing east
His sun will rise and shine,
And men will work and men will feast
Ger cups of sparkling wine;
But thou wilt weep and shall dream
A thousand dreams IN one;
And far beyond the suns last CLEAN
Find rest, and love. and home.

TREES REQUIRE SLEEP.
That's the Renson They Don't Thrive When
Near an Electric Light.

New York Sun.l
Observers in many of the small cities
blessed with shade trees have noticed that
those trees near electric lights have been
blighted by something, and for the lack of
some more apparent cause, the trouble is as
cribed to the electric lights. The local ar
boriculturists say that the trees need dark
ness as much as men need Sleep
There seems to be some reason in suppos-
ing that the nearness of the electric lights
is the cause of the dropping of the trees,
for similar trees, not exposed to any other
illumination than that Of the sun, have not
been affected in any way, and are bright and
strong.
