How it Gee lnne Popuiar.

When people find an article much super
ior to anything of the kind they have ever
before used they are almost sure to tell
their friends about it, and especially if they
know of some friends needing such an al
title. Dealers also soon learn the true
value of their goods. and when they have
an article of unusual merit they will almost
invariably mention the fact to their GUS
toners. This accounts in II great measure
for the large sale of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. Here is an instance: W. l..
Noedham "A prominent citizen and business
man of Orrsburg, Mo. has been selling
Chamberlains Cough Remedy for several
years and recommends it to his customers,
because in his experience it has proven to
be tho best for oolds Group and whooping-
cough. lie says it is the most popular
medicine that he handles, and gives the
best satisfaction. 50 cent bottles for sale

The Columbian Half Dollar.

\ Texas editor does not altogether
admire the world fair souvenir coin,
as can be seen from his description of
it below:
The front side of the coin has an
elegant likeness of the late Sitting
Bull. This, however is said to be
meant for Columbus, The patriotic
American can take his choice, and
the Know Nothings certainly will
claim the headintendcd to beiutended
for Sitting Bull because of that gen
tleman being Native American.
On the right shoulder appears the
letter b. This certainly indicates
the location of either Il boil or bar
nacle. There is also likeness of
Columbus ship under sail At first
blush the ship seems to be on wheels,
but closer examination shows that
the two wheels are the eastern and
western hemispheres. The ship seems
to be surrounded by u herd of por-
poises, but probably this is meant
for waves. There is fishing pole
rugged out of an after port in the
cabin of the ship, and one gathers an
idea that the venturesomc mariner is
either batting his hook and lying
about bite he just had, or has
hauled in fish, for the line is taken
in aboard ship. The figures 1892
appear beneath the vessel The coin
is of the same size and weight as the
old run of half dollars, and for all
they are sold at heavy premium,
the purchasing power is but ten beers.

Mason's Scheme.

Hook Mason has nice little scheme
before the Legislature. He wants
the State made into eight counties.
He obliterates Nye, Lander, Lincoln,
Churchill, White Pine and Douglass,
He adds to Esmeralda large tract
of barren waste in Nye, and takes
away from us Pine Grove, Cambridge
and Sweetwater There is a strong
opposition to Mr.. Masons scheme
and it will probably be defeated.

The Old Ledge.

There is a big effort being made to
set the old Comstock ledge on its feet.
IN which all concerned in the perpetu-
alton of mining in the country are
ready to join.
When pumping ceased in the Gold
Hill mines, they were on top of a
rich body of ore in which is now sev-
eral hundred feet under water. 1t is
now proposed to run all the water
not drained by Sutro Tunnel into the
Gold Hill group and let the pumping
be done from there 1t is also pro
posed to make cut in freight rates.
milling charges and Superintendent
salaries. Only by the most rigid
economy can the Comstock be again
put on her feet for there is enough
low grade ore in sight now to run the
mills twenty years if a higher grade
of ore could be uncovered in the
lower levels to make a good general
average.
The lumber companies, the r. r.
company and in fact everybody con-
cerned have agreed to do their part
and unless the ledge passes over the
critical time of silver characterization
the people in Western Nevada will
see such hard times as have never vet
been witnessed here

woman with no business ability, or if she
has, with no desire to exercise it. If such
man wishes a wife as an intellectual,
moral, spiritual and social companion,
which is the highest gift of the Creator
to man, let him seek a prepossessing,
loving, strong, affectiOnate, wOmanly
character among business women or any
other class Of women. / have always
found, in my own experience, that men
who have business ability and exercise it
are quite as interesting as men who have
had. no business ability TO develop, or
have not sought to increa Sc what they
possessed. | have found that men and
women are so nearly akin in organiza-
ton. mentally, morally and physically,
that what is good for man is good for
woman, and that which makes a man
most cOmpaniOnable as q husband
makes woman equally so as q wife.
Men and women are exactly on par
with different gifts, manifest them differ
emily, though more acceptably to each.
The most successful bachelor would
have done better work, would have at
tanned more in his lfe-callng, had he

woman, whatever she has accomplished
in life, would have done better HAD she

Hints for Picnic Cooking.

A vegetable sandwich. like tomato,
cucumber or lettuce is very refreshing at
a picnic lunch, when q sandwich of sailed
meat only produces thirst. To make
the vegetable salads, cut the vegetables
in thin slices, or, in the case Of lettuce,
break it in pieces. Dress them lightly
with French salad dressing, being careful
not to leave so much liquid that it may
sink into the bread. Cut the bread i'll
rather thin slices, removing the crust
and huttering it lightly. Do not allow
the sandwiches to be exposed to the air
a moment longer than is necessary; but
as soon as they are prepared wrap them
in napkins. This keeps them fresh and
prevents them becoming dry on the out
side. Chicken, pounded to a paste Or
minced rather fine, and dressed with
little mayonnaise, makes q very good
sandwich, especially for hunting parties,
where a sandwich of ham or corned beef
would not be as desirable, because it in
duces thirst.

Remedy for Ivy Poison.

ia Palmer, in the Scientific American.
offers the public remedy for the above
poisoning. He says: "Someone signing
himself H. M. suggests a cure for Rhus
tox, or poison ivy. He describes its ef-
fects, as myself and others can testify,
who have been so unfortunate as to come
in contact with it. He prescribes pills
and promises relief after taking a few
doses, or after few days. Bean leaves
bruised and applied will afford instant
relief and arrest any further progress Of
the affection. have found a decoction
OF dried bean leaves quite as satisfactory;
SO that the prudent may always have
the remedy, summer or winter"

How to do Our Ironing.

This is as perplexing a question to the
Florida housewives as to those in the
North for we wear and soil many more
garments in this country, and to have
them properly done up is no little item
with US. Good Housekeeping gives us
some excellent hints on this subject
which will be we'll to note. 1t says:
If it is hot summer weather, and deg.
day season AZ well, put off the dampen-
ing until the morning, and don't let the
clothes be sprinkled until an hour Of the
ironing. Over night many a wash has
widowed at this time, and a garment
once specklad with mildew had better
be given at once to a blind woman, for
it never is worth much again, though
soaking for time in sour milk may
somewhat remove the spots. Clothes
s9oud be folded with the greatest care,
tor half the bother ofironing day is done
away with if the dampened articl are
unrolled ready folded, with evan g ICES
aud fattened seams prepared for the
board. II avoid having parboie,],
wrinklad fingers, and also to secure the
even dampeniDg OF articles, snail
whisk broom, kept clean for this pur-
pose, is invaluable TO spatter the water.
Lukewarm water is better TO use than
cYld, for it dries The clothes smoothly
instead of leaving them network Of
wrinkles, like The iaces of old people
who have grinned q good deal.
The cl1thes we'll dampened and rolled
tightly, packed into q basket and COW
cred with q blanket, attention can be
paid to the utensils Of ironing. Irons
should be washed occasion ally, and kept
free from rust Oh the bottoms. After
ironing starched articles thu irons should
be scraped and rubbed with a bit Of
beeRwax in a clean rag. Pay particular
attention to The sides of the iron, which
are sometimes covered with SCOT and
dust when the bottoms shine like glass,
and when ironing rufIles and frills the
rubbing will frequently leave black
streaks. Unless one has a cold handle,
it is advisable to have hall dozen hold
ers made of heavy felt or flannel, with
cotton covers, to change with each
change of iron. This will prevent heat
ing the hand, which is the unhealth-
lest adjunct of ironing

end, 10 admit of slipping skirts over it,
and should be provided with slip Gov

WIVES do take time to spend fifteen
minutes at least in glancing over the
daily news and be able to converse with
your husband when he returns home at
night. Don't sit down and begin telling
him a long list of gossip about this one
or that one. He don't care for it; he
would rather you were keeping pace with
him and what is going on in the world.

BE KIND.

Don't look for the flaws as you go through life;
And even when you find them,
1t is wise and kind to be somewhat blind,
And look for the virtue behind them.
For the cloudiest night has hint OF light
Somewhere in it's shadows hiding;
1t is better by far to hunt for a star,
Than the spots on the sun abiding.

Dry thoroughly about the stove for

washed each week, for though it may
look clean enough, unless it is as i'm
maculate as the clothes to be ironed,
their dampness will draw out slight
stains Of dinginess. Provide plenty Of
old newspapers for the preliminary rub
bling of irons, and spread under the
board on old sheet, SO that the ends Of
long articles may not drag in the dust
Of the floor. Do not place the board too
far from the place where the irons ere
heated, unless you are fond Of walking
and have plenty Of time. In the sum-
mer it is we'll to heat the irons over q
gas or kerosene stove placed close to
the board. Remember, while paying
attention to personal comfort, that
standing in draft will rough dry the
clothes, cool the irons and result in 3
probable cold for the ironer.
Iron the starcLed clothes first, then
the bulky articles. The hand will be-
come tired in time, and if the light piec-
es were taken first, there would be no
strength or spirit left to attack the rest.
The secret Of rapid and successful iron
ing is to have the clothes dampened and
the irons very hot. The dampness pre-
vents scorching, and with the hot iron
one can make every pass tell and do
much less muscle wearying and clotht s.
destroying rub, rub, rub, which is nee
essary to produce even an unsatisfactory
result with dry clothes and chilled
irons, Table napery especially should
be very wet, in order to bring cut the
pattern and result in gloss. Pillow
cases and similar articles should be
ironed from the seam, in order to fol /
even; handkerchiefs should be pulled
cut so as to lie square, and then be
ironed flat. Never iron a handkerchief
in creases, and always iron it on both
sides. Properly speaking handker-
chief is an article with no wrong side.
Embroidery and embroidered ruff 8
should be ironed on the wrong side,
and strip of thick blanket provided
to press them on. This brings out the
pattern aud is another labor saver, MAX
ing unnecessary the olden "bearirg-
down" process. In the Iabor-saviug
line, also, is placing sheets, neatly and
evenly folded, under other articles which
are being iroped, Sheets tteated in
this way will be found quite smoCt1
enough to use, after little addition j
pressing on the hems.
Tie ironing Of shirts is now almost
unknown in American kitchens, aud
many woman has cause to bless tha
prevalent laundry agent for her peaceful
home. Whenever it becomes necessary
to do such work at home, one should
provide a neatly covered bosom board
and q long, narrow board for sleeves.
The latter is also Of great use in doing
up children's frocks and ones own
summer dresses. Take well boiled
starch in which has been mixed table-
spoonful Of liquid glue, and rub it thor
oughly into bosom and cuffs. When
the fabric will hold no more, roll the
the garment up tightly and leave it for
fifteen minutes, Then unroll and
quickly iron the uustarched parts.

and soon the whole block, bounded by
Jackson and Vernon avenues and
Fourth and Fifth streets, was in flames.
The fire department could do nothing
to stop the progress OF the flames
Help was asked from Brooklyn, but
before it arrived the entire block was
doomed. The burned blocks included
churches, factories, hotels, grocery, dry
goods, paint stores and other buildings
and number of tenement honses. The
inmates of these escaped uninjured
The new st. Mary's Catholic church
just completed at a cost of 100000 is

In the letter Capt. Mclean said he was
