THE Democrotic press of the
State has been for the past month
getting ready to howl good and
loud when the Carson Mint should
suspend coinage, as it was expected
it would do OF the first of this
month, but the Mint is to keep its
full force of employees, and coin
silver right along, and the disap'
pointed papers will have to make
ais much capital as possible out OF
the fact that the wages of the en-
ployes have been reduced 10 per
cent. We are sorry that it has
been found necessary to reduce the
wages of the employees, but it is
better thus than to discharge fif-
teen or twenty of them, and We
predict that the Democratic papers
will have to wait until another
Democratic administration shuts
down the Mint before they can
work off the pungent paragraphs
they had fixed up for this month.

HERE is chance for the New
York tuft hunters. Prince George
is coming. 1t is not the English
Prince George for whom Newport
made elaborate preparations year
ago, only to learn that his Royal
Highness preferred Halifax; but a
son of the King of Greece, who has
been travelling about Asia with the
Czarewitch. Greece is not much of
a spot on the globe in these times,
but George is a Prince all the same,
and therefore entitled to the wor-
ship of Mugwumps and admirers
of royalty in general. Besides, he
is connection by marriage of the
Prince of Wales, and that ought to
settle it.

States from 1920. to 1S9o". is the
subject of special report which
has been prepared by the Chief Of
-4th, Bureau Of Statistics Of the
Treasury Department, and will soon
be published. The arrivals of inn
migrants from 1920 to 1890 have
reached 15,64l;6SS, The proportion
of arrivals from Europe had in
creased from $3.50 per cent Of the
whole immigration in the time from
1921 to'1S80 to 91.67 per cent, and
in the last decade from 81 to 80.
Germany, Ireland and Italy are the
countries sending the greatest num-
Der of immigrants. The only lead
ing countries from which arrivals
have fallen off during the past ten
years are France and China. The
year of the largest immigration yet
reported was that ended June 80,
1882, when the arrivals were 1885,
-992. The immigration from Italy
was 15,40l for the fiscal year of 1881.
and has. steadily increased until 49,
90, when it was $1,000, and the
present year, en- ding June 80, 1891,
when the total for the twelve months
reached 81, 1853, as against $3.50 for
the corresponding months Of 1890.
OF the arrivals during the ten years
from 1881 to 1890 ell per cent were
males. The greatest proportion OF
females come from Ireland; the
smallest proportion of females from
Italy and Hungary. A classifica'

With this issue the TINES begins
volume 3d., The paper has stayed
with the county many years and
has always tried to advocate the

uphill work, sometimes, to pull
along, but it really seems as though
there will still be room for paper
here for several months to come.
Lyon isgrowing, agriculturally, and
her mines are not all .petered out yet
by any means. All that is necessa-
ry is a little more push upon the
part Of men of means, and there
will not be q better section of coun-
try in the State than Lyon. But
this is not exactly what we wish to
talk about. We want everybody in
the county to take the T1aEs, and
every business man to advertise in
it. We have fixed advertising rates,

Tower of the tongues. !.

Our story of the Tower OF Babel is
known in Chaldean and Armenian ira
dition as .EThe Story of, the Tower of
Tongues - It is one of the earliest recol-
lections of the Tigro-Euphrates basin,
and is related by Berosus in the follow
ing manner:
''The first inhabitants of the earth,
glorying in their own strength and size,
and despising. the gods, undertook to
raise tower whose top should reach the
skies. This tower they erected in the
place where, Babylon's ruins now lay
thickly strewn over the ground. In
erecting this monster roadway to heaven
they toiled necessarily. But when it
had approached near unto heaven the
wind assisted the gods and overthrew
the work upon its eOntrivers; and its
ruins are said to be still at Babylon.
And at about the same time the gods
introduced a diversity of tongues among
men, who till that time had all spoken
the one language. The place in which
they attempted to build the tower is now
called Babylon, on account of the con-
fusioa of tongues, for confusion is by the
Hebrews called bable. st. Louis Re

olsanin<.C Oar wheels.

Very efficient work is now being done
in xarious departments, by the use of the
sand blast. One of the latest applica-
tiOns is to the e'cleaning of car wheels.
The wheel, after being efully4soaked, ;.
Is rolled into small chamber, where it
stands in a vertical position The tread
of the wheel .stands,on rollers, which are
moved by gearings so that the wheel Is
slowly revolyed without changing its
position. A Hue into whic cinders are
fed by 8 chute leading from bin above
leads a blastof air against theface of. the
wheel, which is then reversed.
The cinders used vary from the size of
= grain of wheat to much larger and are
so hard that they can be used several
times. The time saved by this method
can be imagined when;onemanc can clean
twenty wheels in three hours and half,
including the time consumed in rolling
them to and from the machine, and the
saving in labor is oportienately great.

How snakes climb.

How do snakes climb? is question
which has been frequently asked. Many
have thought that they accomplish the
feat by wrapping themselves about the
tree and following Il spiral course up
ward. Several years ago story went
the rounds of the papers to the effect
that two woodchoppers, having felled
large oak tree several feet in diameter
and very tall, found in its top two COM
mon blacksnakes.
After pondering for some. time the
men arrived at the conclusion that one
snake had taken hold of the others tail,
and thus by cooperation they had been
enabled to clasp the trunk, and by cir
cling about it had ascended to the top.
Whatever probability may have at
tached to this conclusion has been dis
PEELED by the observation of two young
naturalists while hauling frewood from
the forest
A black snake, measuring perhaps a
trife over six feet, was found clinging
to the side of small tree, around which
it could have wrapped itself nearly twice
had it wished to do So Instead of this
the snake passed right and aeft at short
distances, catching the folds along its
under parts over and behind the slightly
projecting roughnesses of bark.
AS the snake rested only five or six
feet off the ground one of the young
men grasped its tail to test its climbing
qualities, but so great was the force with
which it pulled upward that it proved a
difficult task to hold it. Finally, becom-
ing annoyed at this i'll treatment, the
snake reached down threateningly at the
offending hands, and losing its hold fell
to the ground. 1t was borne home in
triumph but was afterward returned
uninjured to the forest. Youths Com

No Animals in the Dry Parts of Caves.
No animals whatever are found in the
dry parts of caves. Dampness, or GER
tain degree of moisture, seems to be es-
sential to their existence. Under the
stones one finds white, eyeless worms,
and in the damp soil around about are to
be discovered blind beetles in little holes
which they excavate and bugs of the
thousand-leg sort. These thousand-1eg
bugs, which in the upper world devour
fragments of dead leaves and other veg
etable debris, sustain life in the caverns
by feeding upon decayed wood, fungus
gowths and bats dung. Kneeling in a
beaten path one can see numbers of them
gathered about hardened drips of tallow
from tourists candles. There are plenty

The I.ndx Eactntntn.

The ''lady factotum'' is what our Eng
lish neighbors call those engaged in the
vocation of visiting housekeeper." This
is an employment which has been highly
recommended, and which number of
ladies in this country as well as in Eng
land have adopted. Such person visits
ladies who from i'll health or some other
reason are unable to perform their do
mestic duties. She oversees the servants,
inspects the stores and possibly under
takes shopping, marketing and the writ
ing of notes, and she performs other
Offices which are of too confidential and
responsible nature for the ordinary
servant to undertake.
If she is a woman of energy, tact and
health she can accomplish great deal
by visiting number of families for
about an hour day. She may go so
far as to employ assistants in marketing
and shopping, whose work she is able to
oversee with intelligence. She is paid
for this work on even a better scale than
a visiting governness, and if she is an
able, efficient woman in the items of in
specting stores and furnishing food at
down town prices, she can easily save a
family half her liberal remuneration.
The institution of such a vocation is
great relief to many overburdened or
i'll or incapable housewives, and presents
an excellent and lucrative field to women
of efficiency and refinement. It is a
place such as an elder sister might take,
and such indeed as many elder and un-
married sisters do take for no remunera-
tion beyond Glove and affection. New
