Try IT.-There are many who
smile at the idea of mind reading
1t is not DIFFICULT matter to test
it for yourselves. The next time
you meet four or five friends select
one of them and blindfold then
lead him into a room where the
others are assembled They as
well as yourself desire the blind
folded person to do something of
which he has no idea. Perhaps it
is to make a bow, to touch some
person, to sit down in a chair Now
hold fast to his hand with one Of
yours, and at the same time place
your hand upon the forehead Of
your blindfolded friend. If you will
conduct the experiment in good
faith and try with all your power
20 make him think what you wish
him to do you will be surprised to
see how readily you can commune
cate your thoughts to the other.
Don't laugh or attempt to argue
the question, but try it.-Orovillo

LAKE TAHOE.

The March Century contains al
article by Major J. w. Powell, Di
rector of the US. Geological Sur.
vey, on the Irrigable Lands o.
the Arid Regions, which describes
the birth of our beautiful lake in
truly poetic language, but which
rather jars upon the sensibilities
of all good Nevadans by limiting
that California ought to receive
its benefits. If the Major were to
live in Nevada a few years he
would never ask such questions.
sin geologic times, not long ago
as speaks the scientist, but very
long ago as speaks the chronicler
of human follies, there was a deep
valley on the eastern slope of the
Sierra Nevada at the headwaters
of the Truckee river About this
valley lowered granite mountains.
But earthquakes came, rents were
opened in the rocks, and from the
assures poured INDUSTRIOUS streams
of lava. Ono of these assures
crossed the lower end of our val
ley, and through it poured floods
of molten rock. Stream after
stream issued, to cool in solid
sheets and blocks, until a wall was
built across the valley two or
three thousand feet in height, and
above it was deep basin five or
six hundred square miles in area.
The storms that fell on the granite
and volcanic mountains rolled in
rivers to fill the basin, and Lake
Tahoe was created. When filed
atlast, its waters overlooked the
rim of lava, and the Truckee river
now springs from the Tahoe fount-
ain. Its deep waters are dark
with profundity, like the clouds of
a stormy sky, but about its shores
few shallow bays are found, and
emerald waters, like festoons of
beauty, encircle the deeper and
more Somber lake. Back from
the waters forest clad slopes rise
towards the heavens, and above
are seen naked crags and domes
of granite. Farther to the north,
Bonner, Independence, and other
mountain lakes discharge their
waters into the creeks that join
the Truckee. 1t is thus that a
large photographic basin is formed
in the mountains where torrential
rains fall and deep SHOWS accumu-
late in winter months, and in
which the waters are collected to
farm the Truckee, which leaves
the mountains in dance of de-
light and with a never-ending
song of laughing waters.
Sweet valleys are found below,
for the people have in many cases
reclaimed the desert and encircled
their homes with verdant fields.
But the waters are all caught in
California, while the irrigated
lands are in Nevada; 50 the farm
ers of the Silver State must 60 to
the lands of the Golden State to
construct their reservoirs. The
water of the Lake can be partly
discharged each year by deepen
ing its outlet, and the water used
for irrigation in Nevada, and after
the irrigating season is over the
gates may be closed and the Lake
permitted tie refill; but this per-
haps will mar a pleasure resort.
A large part of all perennial wat
ers to be used in Nevada have
their sources in California. Who
shall judge between the States?"

The Ftruscan Cist.

The worn cist was a common term en-
plOyed by the Greeks and Romans to deSig-
nate every species of basket or box; origin
ally Greek word, 1t passed without trans
formation into the Latin. At first the cist
would seem to have been a basket or box
made of willow and intended for country use
for holding vegetables or fruits; like our own
affairs of this sort, it was sometimes round
and sometimes square. From this limited uss
the word came to apply to boxes and caskets
OF all sorts. We find them represented very
commonly on medals and coins and in pic
lures; they hold the money of a private per-
son or of a society; they were used Tor carry
ing manuscripts or papyri; votes were
deposited in them; they were the precursors
in the sacred mysteries of the pyx or box
which guards the wafer on the altar of the
Roman church, but their most usual employ
ment was a domestic one; they held the
toys of children and small articles of the
toilet.
There have been found in them all those
objects which made up what the ancients call
the woman's world-mundus muliebris: mir
rors, haiTpins, combs, perfume bottles,
spongeS, pomade boxes and the rest. II is by
no means uncommon to find ivory dice in
iuCSc DO2cs, anu TIE DiiSctlluIleOliS
contents of the modern feminine workbox,
which is the analogue of the boys pocket,
are often prophesied, as it were in these an
cient receptacles.
The cists that have come to us are found in
tombs, and by far the greater number Of
them have come from the metropolis of Pre-
neste (Palistrina) or its neighborhood, where
they are found inclosed in the sarcophagi, or
in the small boxes made of tufa which served
to hold the bones and ashes gathered from
the funeral pyre. Sometimes the cists them
selves contain bones; this was not their pur-
pose; 1t was merely an occasional employment
dictated by convenience We owe the pres
ervation OF many Of these objects to the fact
that they were Of bronze, but it is possible
that many more may be lost to Us from hav
ing been made Of the osier twigs that were
the material OF the original baskets-The

AT THE CHILDREN'S HOME.

Reports have of late gained circulation
and credence that the children at tine
Home are underfed. The enormity of the
charge at once called for IL thorough in
yestigation, which has been made with a
happy result. 1t seems that some dis
charged employees of the institution, in
the spirit of malice. originated the stories,
which OF course gained little every time
they were repeated, until it was currently
stated that the children were literally be-
ing starved to death Mrs E. J. Foster

damaging reports. She not only quizzed
the children herself and dropped in at I'M
expected moments, but induced her friends
to make similar investigations until
thoroughly convinced that the reports
were groundless. Unknown to the mat
ron list was kept of the bill of fare for
