HuMsua ABOUT MADSToNes.

Merely Pieces Of Anhydrous Material
Which Have the Power of Absorption.
The maidstone story is going It's
rounds again. 1t Is the property Of this
wonderful agent to stick to a raw
surface Of flesh and suck the poison out
Of it. That Is, the owners say So AS
matter Of fact, says the Brooklyn
Eagle, no inorganic substance can suck
except by the aid Of machinery. Again,
In ninety-nine cases out Of hundred
the dog bites are harmless and there is
no poison to be sucked out Thirdly,
credulity is one of the most effective
cures in the materia medica and ought
to be used oftener. where people have
no real disorder. The whole tradition
Of the maidstone comes from the alb
sorptive power Of any anhydrous min
eral. Such stone is filed with pores
and by process akin to that of capl-
larry attraction the water that it has
lost--in the course of centuries, per-
haps-it will soak up again when in
contact with liquid If one wishes to
know the action of o maidstone let him
put piece of tabasheer or dry clay OF
shale to his tongue. 1t will stick That
is all there is to it. There are millions
of tons of maidstone in every state In
the union, and every family can afford
to be without it. These stories of mys-
terious stones that have come from the
far east or that were bought at enor-
nous prices from voodoos and hoodoos
and wizards are all humbug. II o per
son is bitten by snake or dog it will
do him no harm to clap chip of anhy-
stick, just as it will to his tongue or his
eye or a damp saucer or Brooklyn
street or the surface Of bar, but let
him likewise consult physician.

LfONlzED THE WRONG MAN.

A Prosafe English Merchant Mistaken at
Monterey for Renowned Poet.
The fashionable Hotel Del Monte at
Monterey is stirred up over q ludicrous
mistake by which a prosaic English
merchant was lionized as Robert Bu-
ehanan, poet and dramatist. The Biton
arrived at the hotel three days ago with
two friends. He registered In a fine
literary hand, and, as he bore strong
resemblance to the author, several
ladies present declared he must be the
authnr Of "The Shadow Of the Sword. {"
So several ladies desired him to write
his autograph in their albums with
some poetical sentiment He received
all their fattery complacently, but
grinding out poetry for the m kept him
up all night and the result was some
thing to shake confidence in their idol
The next day he was the center Of IN
adlniring group His companions be-
came suspicious and asked the hotel
clerk why 90 much attention was paid
their friend They were amazed when
they learned the true reason, because
they declared their friend had never
heard Of Buchanan. They broke the
news gently to him, but his conceit re-
ceaved . bad shock. All three packed

POINTS ON BRICKS.

Some Interesting Facts Concerning tho
History OF Plain Building Material.
In paper on "Brick Manufacture"
recently published by F. A. Call1ins In
the Transactions of the American So
ciety Of Civil Engineers, the following
interesting historical facts were brought
out:
The art Of brick making Is supposed
to have originated in ancient times with
Y the powerful races found in Egypt,
Chaldea and China, in the old world,
J, and in Mexico and Peru in the new.
8The ruinsof buildings and tombs Left
Yin these countries testify that they were
slxillfui builders. Rawlinson states
that the dimensions of bricks baked by
the Chaldeans were liz inches square
and 2h inches thick, and those of later
date Is inches square and 8 inches thick.
ALI are familiar with the Egyptian
method of tempering clay with stick
and drying In the sun 5000 years ago.
Compare the ancient method with the
practice at the present time in any
small town where bricks are made, or
even at the brickyards on the Hudson;
there pug mills will be found in opera
tiDn which are only combination of
several sticks and mnle; and green
bricks are still dried in the sun the
same as was practiced by the ancients,
showing little advance in 1900 years,
The first bricks manufactured and
burned in this country We're ut New
Haven, Conn, in the year 1850, and the
next city to claim early manufacture
is philadelphia, where they were made
thirty-five years later. In 1855. The
first brick machine of which we have
any record was made In Philadelphia in
1S40. 1t was a soft clay machine oper-
ated by horse power. This machine
was destroyed in 1874 during riot,
caused by the briclemakers fearing 1t
would take bread ont OF their mouths
In 1s47 a dry clay machine was made in
the latter city. That the molding Of
bricks by hand can be done rapidly was
clearly demonstrated at Cincinnati in
1889. The molding of 1900 bricks was
then considered regular days work
In q contest at this day between two
expert molders, working from sunrise
to sunset, one nodded 24.70O bricks and
the other 25, A similar number
were nodded at a contest in Philadel-
phia at later date.

citizens of Carson. on the ground
that the paper is no longer Republl-

The above is not true. The citi-
zens of Carson are not boycotting the
APPEAL. A little boycotting is being
done by some officers in the State
capitol building, because of the de-
cided stand of the APPEAL fer silver,
but for every one who stops the pa
per for that reason two silver men
take his place. We can stand more
of this sort of boycotting.

itself under its present management.

An Old Maids Course.

The Nevada Central employees
have made few changes at the shops
| in the last week. The water pipe
connections between the artesian
well and large cistern adjoining the
car house have been displaced, cap
put on the well and the water forced
directly to the engine. The cistern,
which has fallen into disuse, was the
center of attraction in the reign Of
Supt. Dunn who stocked it with
gold fish and made it a fashionable
bathing resort for Battle Noun
tain's 400. In an humorous mood,
Dunn, on one occasion, invited an
old maid to battle in the waters, and
meantime posted the shop boys at
every creyice to observe her naiad
movements. The dear girl discovered
the plot, but too late. the scene had
passed, and IN supllcatlon she prayed
that the wrath of the gods be
brought upon the place. The prayer
was answered for the gold fish died,
the wates had the qualities of the
Dead Sea, and worst of all the tim.
bers rotted and the tank leaked.
Since then the cistern has been in
quasi 1isuse. When the present
Master Mechinac last Friday, for the
first time, heard of the olds maids in
terdict, be issued an order blotting
from the n. C. es-cutcheon all old
maids heirlooms. Since then the
boys have turned the shop upside
down in search of relics, with a

The Money Here.

Yesterday the $1,000 for the In

Bill Gibson of the Indian School.
The Indians say they don't want flour
and such truck; they want the money
and they were out there yesterday
making a vociferious demand for it.
They seem to have an idea that there
is some iobbery afoot.
