THE IRRIGATION BILL.

The Reno Journal says that the
rsnchers in Humboldt county are up
in arms against the La Grave lrriRa-
ton bill and are circulating petitions
asking the Legislature to defeat it.
A letter from Lovelocks published
in Thursdays Journal saws the farm
srs Of that section W ere not consulted
about tho bill and have come to the
conclusion that it was not framed in
their interest and are signing re-
monstrance against its passage. A
similar petition is being circulated in
Winnemuccs and is being signed by
the water claimants in that vicinity.
The Journals correspondent claims
that tho Introduction Of the bill by
Senator La Grave was attended by
suspicious circumstances and that
the bill itself bris:les all over with
Objectionable features and 10 plainly Q
railroad measure. In proof Of this
the correspondent shows that the
member of the Assembly from Love
looks, who is an enterprisinG rancher
with large experience in irrigation
matters, was kept in ignorance OF the
bill until it was introduced into the
Senate.
Irrigation ia an important matter TO
tho people of this State and especial.
ly 90 to the ranchers of Elko county.
Any measure that will tend to in
crease the burdens already borne
or open the door to endless litigation
should receive tho united opposition
Of our delegation in the Legislature.
Tho ranchers Of this county should
carefully study the provisions Of this
irrigation bill and If convinced that
it will add to their burdens and lead
to litigation, they should circulate TO
monstrances against ito passage. Now
is the time to act.

India Rubber Paving stones"

New ideas in paving have lately at
tracted attention. Among these is the
paving of II bridge by German en-
gineer with India rubber, the result
having been so satisfactory as to in
duce its application on much larger
scale, point in its favor being that it
is much more durable than asphalt
and not slippery. In London section
of roadway under the gate leading to
the departure platform of the ST. Pam
cras terminus has for some time past
been paved with this material, with
the effect of deadening the sound made
when being passed over on wheels, be-
sides the comfortable elasticity afforded
to foot passengers. Another material
which is being satisfactorily intro
duced for this purpose is composed
of granulated cork and bitumen pressed
into blocks and which are laid like
bricks or wood paving, the special adj
vantage secured in this case being that
of elasticity.

To Ston kissing.

The Ohio State Board Of Health,
through its secretary, has appealed to
the Pastors Union Of Columbus to
make crusade against the custom of
indiscriminatc kissing, which, it says,
is the most certain and dangerous
method of transmitting disease germs.
Pastors of course, are and always have
been opposed to any custom of ''indis-
criminate kissing" If too indiscrim-
mate, it is quite as d ngerous in the
way of transmitting moral as well as
physical disease germs, But where it
is done under proper circumstances,
the whole experience of mankind goes
to establish the fact that it is a most
delightful as well as innocuous recrea-
ton, modern boards of health to the
contrary Notwithstanding. In the

New Use for Cotton Seed OIL.

A new coating for the protection of
metalwork and woodwork from the
effects of the weather or of water is
based on the adaptability of cotton
seed oil to unite with lead. Melted
lead is poured into cotton seed oil under
continual stirring, and the mixture is
allowed to cool. When the oil is poured
off the lead will be found at the bot
tom, but reduced in weight by the
absorption of part of it in the oil.
The operation is repeated, with the
lead left ut the end of each trial, five
times. When cold, the oil has the APP
pearance of thick varnish, and is ready
to be applied with brush or sponge.
This coating unites quickly and firmly
with any material.

the combustion of any form of carbon.
The makers of these fuels state that
ventilation is required with their appa
ratus, but their customers reason, Why
let in the cold air if the fuel is harmless,
as stated? or they imagine that one
opening from room into hallway Sc
cures ventilation" Probably most o.
the victims OF the patent fuels have
read about the process of combustion
but they have not learned it's nature
from experiments that would make
this knowledge real to them. Then
education has been of the Anticipated
but not yet abandoned kind which sub

Bread and Fine Flour.

White bread and fine flour are named
by Sir James Crichton Browne as one
of the causes of the increase Of dental
cares. Failing to eat as large proper
tons of bran as our ancestors did. we
are deprived to "a large degree of the
fiuorine which they contain. The
enamel of the teeth has more huorine,
in the form of huoride of calcium,
than any other part of the body.
Fluorine might, indeed. be regarded as
the characteristic chemical constituent
of this structure, the hardest of all ami
NAL tissue; hence supply Of tluorine,
while the development of the teeth is
proceeding, is essential to the proper
formation of the enamel, and any de-
ficiency in this respect must result in
thin and inferior enamel.

Charlotte NJ. Yongc.

Oscar Fay Adams sends to the Boston
Evening Transcript u description of a
visit to Miss Charlotte NJ. Yonge, now
CT years old, who lives at Otterbourne,
few miles from Winchester. "In
early life" says Mr.. Adams, ''she must
have been rather plain-loolxing, but
now, with her bright, dark eyes and
crown Of snowy white hair. she is un-
deniably handsome. She is somewhat
stout, but not too much SO for her
height, which is considerably above tho
medium, and her appearance indicates
abundant life andvigor." She does her
work in combined drawing-room and
library on the second floor. At the
south-cnd of the room is the fireplace,
and near window looking out upon a
stretch of turf surrounded by hedges
with flower beds cut in It, stands her
writing desk. The room has low
ceiling. and is well-filled with books
and comfortable but unprctending
furniture.
