The Lyon County Contest.

Tuesday in Dayton in the contested
election cases Judge Rising held that the
irregularities in Sutro and Wabuska pre-.
cincts were not sufficient to prevent a
count of the votes, and also that the
initials on some Of the ballots did not
make them illegal. He, however, mott
fed the plaintiffs that if they could prove
that enough votes had been influenced by
purchase from either of them to his op.

Wild Horses

The Central Nevadan of Battle Mount

ranging on the high mountain plateau
near his home. He states that it is al
most impossible to raise band of tame
animals in that section, as they soon find
their way into the wild habitation Of the

Naming Ships OF War.

The naming of vessels of the navy is
regulated by law. Vessels of the first
class are required to be named after
States, those of the second after rivers,
those of the third after principal cities
and towns, and those of the fourth as the
President may direct. The law is not
always observed as closely as it ought to
be, but in the main it governs naval
nomenclature to-day.

HOW Ea Was Curad.

1t is. told in Harper's Young People of
the fan ous naturalist, Button, that he was
very fo, I'D of lying in bed late in the morn
ing. Wishing to cure himself of this bad
habit, ne promised his servant, Joseph, a
crown for each morning be could get his
master iup at & O'Clock. For several days
Joseph, tried so induce him to get out of
bed early, but without success He was
only abused and driven out of the room by
his master. Yet every day when Button
arose bic lamented that he had not gotten
up sooner.
You do not manage it right" he said
angrily to Joseph. You ought to remem-
Der only the crown l promised you and
pay no attention 20 what say when l am
sleepy"
So Joseph determined to try again. The
next morning he dragged his master out of
bed by main force. He WAS unmindful cs
scolding, threats or even blows Latersin
the day hewas rewarded for his persistency
by the promised crown, and his master
bestowed the same every day that his
faithful servant made him get up early in

From Nice at length came letter to the
prince, in which his wife confessed her love
for Count Herbert, who had offered TO re-
linquish his career, TO give up, if necessary,
his family, his fortune, his country If she
would get divorce from her husband and
marry him. A divorce is not easily CD
tanned by women in Germany, therefore the
princess prayed her husband to himself
bring about the annulment of their mar
ri3ge. She had never loved him and she
did love young Bismarck. Elizabeth HAITI

could not sacrifice her honor. Therefore
she threw herself on her husbands mercy
and prayed for her freedom.

is not clear. Prince Carolaths attitude
toward the whole affair was little mys-

What agonies of outraged pride and
wounded love, what bitterness of disap-
pointed hopes the beautiful, woman suffer
ed no humao being can know She bore
herself with perfect dignity never betray-
ing the least sign of the anguish which
must have devoured her night and day.
She lived in her Venetian palace two
years. What fOrtitu de! What sublime
scorn of fatcI
Then a reStlessness, a de!ire for change,
made her leave Italy for Paris, where she
remained sdme time She also passed a
short period in Yiann ind in a quiet
town in Ireland. Much of her fortune had
been absorbed in fitting ul the palace in
Venice, and it is said thht the princess
| would have been reduced 20 actual want
at one time had it not been for the gener-
Osity of her wealthy relatives.
Her,preseht home is in dresden. Prince
Carolath married again. Society was per-
fectly prepared to receive bis first wife, but
she was Indifferent to society. Her daugh-
ter and her beloved music OCCUPY all her
time.
Her home in Dresden is 1.-THE rendezvous
of all the great singers AMI composers of
the advanced school of music. she is a
Wagner enthusiast and n5ver misses the
festivals at Baireuth. Still beautiful and
brilliant, the tragedy of her life has left
her even more fascinating than Of old.
This romance of the Nintteenth century,
like Rudyard KipIngfs Light That Fail
ed" has two endings, of which the reader
may take his choice.
Cne version is that when the princess
was in Ireland Lord LoIl donderry. who
was Count Herbert's most intimate friend,
effected a meeting and a reconciliation be-
tween the lovers; that the count visited her
frequently thereafter, still continues to
visit her in Dresden and will undoubtedly
marry her as soon as his fSther dies. Some
there are, indeed, who declare that mar
riage has already taken plice.
Intimate friends Of ths princess, how
ever, protest that she has never met Count
Herbert, although be has made more than
one attempt to see her. Irhe few persons
who know the true state Of affairs are ST.
lent. Count Herbert is e}icent, and Prin-
cess Carolath is not one of whom imperti-
nent questions are asked by even closest
friends. As for the Engli@h heiress story,
it is not generally believed. Rumor had
the count engaged sbefore to Lady
Helen Vane Tempes9, beautiful young
woman with a round hundred thousand
attached to each of her three names; but
nothing ever came of it.
The Princess Carolath suffered much
wrong through him, not OILY to her heart,
but TO her reputation. for an uncharitable
world has been only too: ready to believe
the many fake versions of; the affair-sto-
ries of their eiopement and of their living
together in Naples and in Sicily-and to
remain unwedded for her sake seems the
very least Count Herbert could do, and
very small expiration at best.

PARIS STREETS.

The Work of the Ragpickers, Includ-
ing Some Rather Disturbing Details.
A curious series of statistics establishes
the value of the refuse of the Paris streets.
The figures seem incredible, and show that
the ragpickers discharge duty OF primary
Importance. Working at night, busy I'M
der the gas lights, with hook and Panier,
the value of what they collect is estimated
at $4,000 each day. Assuredly ene-haf
the world does not know how the other
half lives. OF course, the conditions OF
Paris life are exceptionable. Population is
very close; the tall houses are crammed
with inhabitants there are no gardens, as
with us-there are but the houses and the
streets The Parisians have way Of
emptying all kinds of lumber and refuse
into the streets and then the rsgpickers
gather in their harvest A use is found for
everything, and metamerphosis never
ceases. All the details are interesting,
though some are rather disturbing.
Rags, of course, GO to make paper; broken
glass is pounded, and serves as the coating
for sand or emery paper; bones, after the
process of cleaning and cutting down,
serve to make nail brushes, tooth brushes
and fancy buttons; little wisps of women's
hair are carefully unraveled, and do duty
for false hair by and by. Mems hair col
lected outside the BARRIERS serves for filters
through which sirups are strained; bits Of
sponge are cut up and used for spirit
lamps; bits of bread if dirty are toasted
and grated, and sold to the restaurants for
spreading on hams or outlets; sometimes
they are carbonized and made into tooth
powder. Sardine boxes are cut up into tin
soldiers or into sockets for candlesticks. A
silk hat has Whole chapter of adventures
in store for it. All this work employs a
regiment of ragpickers numbering close
on 20, 600 and each earning from forty to
slxty-five cents day.

An Old Proverb.

The oft quoted proverb, God tempers
the wind to the shorn lamb" frequently
and wrongly ascribed to the Bible, occurs in
Laurence Sterne's Sentimental Journey"
The Inter-Ocean explains, however, that it
is but a rendering of proverb much older
than Sterne's time The Sentimental
Journey" was written about 1871. But Bish-
op Herbert, nearly 100 years before, in his
"Jacula Prudentum,' uses the expression,
'ilTo close shorn sheep God gives wind by
measure" Estienne, French writer, in
1894 said, "Dieu mesure lie froid a la brebis
tondue" God measures the cold to the
shorn ewel EstienRe gives another form
of the proverb as "Dieu dome lie froid scion
la roblie:" that is, AGod will not let the
cold exceed the warmth of the fleece" or,
as it is less POLITICALLY rendered by another
French writer, with a different and mora
practical meaning, not SO frequently falsi-
fed by the actual facts Of life, God cuts
mans coat according to his measure"
That this proyerb is French IN origin there
seems no doubt, as various versions Of it
are found in different writer's

taste could select or money could buy were

her lover should never regret his father
land. The apartments destined for his oc-
cupancy were laVishly extrsVsgant in their
splendor.
The time sped and the day set for their
marriage was less than week away.
The count was expected to arrive that
morning, and the princess, royalty arrayed,
waited eagerly for the man for whom she
had sacrificed so much.
A courier from the court of Germany
was announced. The princess received
him, and with deadly chin at her heart
took from his hands letter. 1t was from
the chancellor, and it informed her that
Count Herbert would not visit Venice
while the Princess Carosath remained
there. It further stated that Bismarck
had reflected on the matter of his son 8

it. He wished the young man to remain
