NEvADA'S DEBT.

!, Nevadans are willing to admit that
heir state is in decline, and those of
hem whose state pride is not greater than
heir common sense confess that it is with
ifficulty that the state government is
carried on, and say that the outlook is
sloomy in the extreme; but you will make
ihe average sage-brusher mad in an in
ltant by suggesting that his peterborough
s in debt. He will emphaticaliy deny the
Migration, and to sustain him in it will
,oint with pride to the reports of the
financial officers, which on their face show
hat the state is holding her own. How
his is done the Nevada newspapers now
md then let out. For instance, the
Reno Gazette sarcastically remarks that
taking money out of the school fund
With the understanding that it is never to

PITTsBURG has preacher, one Rev. DR..
MCALLIsTER, pastor of the Eighth Re-
formed Presbyterian church, who is d cur
iosity, to use a mild form of expression.
Last Sunday he preached sermon in
which he declared that the awful calamity
which recently befell Secretary TRACY and
family was a sign of COPS displeasure
ton. 1t is quite possible that in heaven
there is displeasure over the way that the
President is managing things in the re
public. This would necessarily be the
case, there being in heaven the highest
sense of justice and uprightness in all
things and this being Republican admin
istration-s But why should the Almighty
select Secretary TRACY as one upon whom
to infiict punishment for the sins of Presi-
dent HARRISON? And why should the
President be permitted to go along in his
sins of omission and commission after the
scourging inflicted upon the secretary Of
the navy: And why should part great
Nation be chastised through the burning
wife and daughter! 1t is most hideous
GoD which the Pittsburg preacher creates
and places in command of the universe.
Sermons like that of McALLIsTER's de
the church much harm. They bring relig-
ion into contempt and force intelligent PEG
pie to wonder why the LORD permits sucf
cranks to speak in His name.

CHIEF JUSTICE ZANE made a ruling in
.ase, on Friday, which it is to be hoped will
,ut an end to species OF petty meanness
which has been practiced for some time.
The law provides that upon conviction for
,olygamy the accused may be punished by
inc or Imprisonment. This mas not been
levere enough to satisfy some of the judges,
md they have been in the habit of adding
)osts to the penalty. If the poor fellow did
lot pay these he was held in the penitenti-
ry thirty days beyond the end of his sen
ence, when he might secure his release by
aking the poor convicts oath. 1t has been
pointed out to the judges that this was all
wrong, the imposition of the costs being
contrary to law and the extra imprison-
nent clearly and cruelty illegal. The matter
vas taken before the chief justice yester-
lay on hdbeds corpus, and he promptly or
Tered the release of the petitioner who was
)eing detained in the penitentiary thirty
lays to satisfy the Judgment for costs.

and paper which has the merit
of being frank with itself in this debt mat
ter, explains how the borrowing business
is managed. 1t says: 'sThe statesmen who
assemble at Carson every two years to leg
islate for the people, strain their intellect
devising ways to get money out of the
school fund. When state treasurer
robbed the fund out of 100000 and the
courts had virtually decided that his bonds
men, some of whom were millionaires, We're
responsible to the state for the loss, the
statesmen in the legislature assembled,
passed an act to release the bondsmen over
the veto of honest Governor BRADLEY.
Again the statesmen took $3.50, 900 out of
the school fund, the principle of which is,
by law, irreducible, and in its stead placed
an irredeemable bond. In addition the leg
islature, at various times, borrowed, as the
statesmen call it, S152, 900 from the school
fund, making in all $3.50, 600 which the state
owes that fund"
The same paper says the state of Nevada
would be bankrupt were itnot for the facil-
tiles for borrowing which the school fund
affords. 'sThe state owes that fund over
half a million dollars and the debt is GER
tain TO be increased by the next legisla-
ture, as there will be a marked falling of
in the assessed value of personal property
and state revenue this year,
1t is not surprising that the greedy poll
ticians and the tax-burdened people in the
sagebrush domain look with longing eyes
upon rich and prosperous Utah, and ash
that this territory, with its thrift ant
money making ability, shall be annexed tx
the poverty stricken and dying state. Oul
neighbors would not be human if they did
not see hope of relief and salvation or
this side the boundary line separating
their declining commonwealth from thu
vigorous, growing and prosperous com
munity of Utah.

AN ILLINOIS farmer was approached by a
man who offered to sell him recipe for
making wheat weigh double what it would
weigh naturally. The farmer was an
'honest man." of course, but he thought
over the matter, and as the price of the
recipe was to be only half the profits on
the first seasons crop, he concluded to buy,
signing a contract to that effect. In a few
days bank collector presented to him for
payment a promissorN note for $780, and
the hoary handed son OF toll, finding the
signature was genuine and the note due,
skirmished around for the money to take
it up. Since then he has been devoting
himself largely to the industry of denounc-
ing the man who sold him the weight re-
cipe as swindler.

Crabs Ewes for Acid stomachs.

Crabs eyes are employed to some extent
as a remedy for acid stomachs. They are
not actually the eyes of the crab, but sim
ply small concretions of lime found in the
stomachs of crayflsh at the time when
they are. about to cast their shell and make
new ones. 1t is supposed that these con-
cretions are designed by nature to provide
material for the new shells. At all events,
having been deposited originally by ami
mails, they are more readily absorbed into
the human system. Before being admins
tered as medicine they are pulverized.
Oyster shells are used in precisely the
same way and for the same purpose, being
prepared prelilninarily by washing and pull
verizing. The pulverized shells are placed
in solution in water, the heavier and
coarser particles falling to the bottom. By
pouring OF ne solution thus obtained and
permitting il to precipitate such fine parti-
Giles of lime as il still retains, an exceeding
ly refined deposit is at length secured.

Sleep.

What sleep is no one knows. The pre-
yailing theory as to its nature is that of
the Psychologist Preyer, who holds that
refuse matter accumulates in the nervous
centers in such quantities as to bring about
insensibility, which continues until the
brain has been relieved of the waste mat
ter by its absorption into the circulation.
Whatever feats of endurance men may
accomplish they cannot live long without
sleeping. Under every condition of bodily
and mental suffering men sleep. Those
condemned to die, although they fear their
fate, generally sleep the night before exc
cution. Soldiers have been known to sleep
when on "a long and wearisome march
while walking in the ranks, or lying on a
bed of stones, or in the mud and water
The question is often asked, How long
can man live without sleep?" The vic
tim of the Chinese waking torture" sell
dom survives more than ten days. Those
condemned to die by the waking torture
are given all they wish to eat and drink,
but sleep is denied them.
Whenever the poor victim closes his eyes
he is jabbed with spears and sharp sticks
until he is awake. There is no torture
more horrible.--YoUth's Companion.
