stance, the revolving year bringsround
to us again the bathing season and its
attendant casualties. How many of
us have the faintest conception of how
to act in case we are present Mt any OF
these casualties, how to rescue a swim
mer who is in danger, how to resusci-
tate the apparently drowned? Yet
thousands of lives are sacrificed every
year in the ocean, in lakes, in rivers,
and large proportion of these might
have been saved by rightly directed
effort at the opportune moment. Which
of MS can say that he may not Mt any
time make himself responsible for the
loss of valuable life through this
criminal negligence?
The English are ahead of us in recog-
nizing this great truth, and in devils
ing plans for lessening the perils of
those who go down to the sea or the
river in boats or in bathing dresses.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.


Wood ashes are good for lawns.
A work horse needs care, as well as
a thoroughbred.
Peas are among the very best pas
turage for swine.
White oak bark will stop the horses
craving for boards.
Plum and cherry trees should be
bushy, not spindling,
Cows require plenty of water, if they
are expected to give milk.
Judicious feeding is needed to keep
up the strength of your horse.
If straw is allowed the swine for lit
ter it should be frequently changed.
A horse will respond more readily
to kindness than he will to the whip.
If you expect the COWS to do well
you must first have fed the calves we'll.
Instead of allowing your surplus
fruit to rot, why not dry or evaporate
it?
Have fewer low-priced horses, and
the good ones will command better
price.

honey producer for the short time it
is in bloom.
Oats with timothy or timothy with
clover hay make good ration when
muscle is needed.
As soon as the early vegetables have
been cleared from the garden prepare
for those that come later.
Coal ashes piled about the currans
and goosebery bushes will preserve
them from smut or mildew.
If a change of queens is necessary,
it should be done after the swarming
and honey seasons are over.
The soapsuds at hand after wash day
will do good if used in watering
plants in the vegetable garden.
By placing mulch around small
fruit plants it will bo of great benefit
to them, especially to strawberries.
1t is difficult to find horse fitted

in forcing the development of the colt.

he goes Mt night, pit is dug, twelve
or fifteen feet square, sixteen or eigh-
teen feet deep, and sloping so that the
bottom will measure about eighteen
feet square. This pit is dug during
the daytime when the tiger is asleep,
and every particle of that dirt is care
fully carried away by hand The
tigers sense of smell is very acute, and
not the smallest quantity of fresh dirt
must be found near the pit, which is
covered with branches and leaves.
Over this tripod is erected from which
is suspended live goat. At night,
when the tiger comes forth and nears
this spot, he sneaks up to n GER
tain distance and then, as is his fash
ion, springs upon his prey. He falls
into the pit, from which he makes the
most frantic but unsuccessful efforts to
escape. In few days his strength
is exhausted
In the meantime the natives have
built a bamboo cage which is let down
over him, aud afterward big pieces of
rattan are gradually worked under him
to make the captivity complete. BY
the time this last operation is per-
formed the tiger is nearly dead from
exhaustion, covered with blood, foam,
dirt and altogether very miserable. An
immense tiger, which sold and which
is at present with large travelling
show, captured last June, is a man
eater. Three months before his capture
he had eaten woman and child, and
on this account we received 300 bounty
from the Government where we caught
him. Leopards are captured in the
same way as tigers. New York Press.

THE suggestion attributed to Mr..
J. Mott Smith, Hawaiian Minister
in the United States, to the effect
that the United States and England
may agree upon joint protectorate
of Hawaii, cannot be conntenanced
for moment. Whatever arrange
ments may be made as to the fu-
ture relations of Hawaii to the Unit
ed States, those arrangements will
not include joint protectorate with
Great Britain, or any other foreign
power. The United States will not
permit England or any other for
eign country to exercise control in
those Islands. So much may be
asserted as representing the virtu-
ally unanimous sentiment of the
American people.
If there is to be a protectorate
it will be an American protectorate,
effected by a treaty through the
President and Senate with the rep
resentatives of the Hawaiian Gov
eminent. 1t will be a protectorate
bringing Hawaii within the sole
and direct control and supervision
of the United States, unhampered
by foreign inference or by any shad-
ow of foreign authority. Of course
foreign interests in Hawaii will be
respected, either under annexation
or protectorate, as foreign interests
are respected everywhere under the
authority of the United States.
The Hawaiian situation calls for
prompt and resolute action. The
nation that hesitates before Eng
land is lost. Hesitation or falter-
ing would soon be recognized as a
sign of unsettled purpose, and Great
Britain would not be at loss for
ar excuse to grasp the Hawaiian
prize, or at least to make it more
difficult for the United States to Sc
cure the islands at some future time.
There should be no loss of time in
dealing with the request of the Ha-
waiian people for shelter under the
American flag.

THE Virginia Chronicle says New
ada wants no lottery, and believes
that scheme is on foot to provide
for a lottery. We don't believe
there is any such measure now
thought of, but whether or no, we
want no lottery because we must
send our money to New Orleans,
San Francisco or Mexico. Nevada
don't need anything. If the lottery
amendment had carried four years
ago, we would have had by this
time 100000 or over in an irriga-
ton fund, or that much money
would have been expended for irri-
CATION purposes. But then that
would have done no good. Let's
wait until Congress helps us out.

IT is very evident from all re-
ports that a move is to be made to
resume operations on a large scale
on the Comstock. The managers
of large interests throughout the
State have held several conferences
lately and are trying to get things
down onto a legitimate business
basis. To do this concessions will
have to be made all around. The
railroad company, the water COM
pany, superintendent, and even the
miners, may be asked to take less
pay for their labors. There is no
country in the world where every
business is carried on in as extrav-
agant manner as in Nevada. 1t
has been a high pressure State since
its birth, but the time is near at
hand when radical changes will
have to be made, and we believe
that those who have it in their
power to help out will do so. There
is one proposition that we under
stand is to be carefully considered
and that is the use of the Sutro
tunnel as a transportation way for
ore to mills on the Carson river.
This has been talked of before, but
times are getting SO close that the
plan is being more earnestly con-
sidered. There is no doubt that it
would be the most economical way
of hosting ore and getting it to the
mills, and there is not much doubt
that if the mining companies con-
clude to pump out the mines and
sink another thousand feet they
could make their expenses for this
work out of the low grade ore they
have above the tunnel level, for the
saving in taking it out through the
tunnel would be very material.

AN exchange says that there are
very few farmers who ever give q
thought to the various uses to which
eggs are adapted. The general sup
position is that all eggs are shipped
to market and there sold for human
consumption. Such, however, is
far from being the case. Eggs are
used in putting the finishing glaze
on calico, in gliding, in clarifying
liquors, in bookbinding and in pho
Biography. In the preparation Of
Photographic paper alone millions
of eggs are annually used, one Eu-
ropean establishment being credited
with the consumption of over A, 000,-
600 eggs annually for this purpose

for albumen has yet been found and

ago in England for such discovery
still remains unclaimed.
The yelks of eggs are solidified
and used in Europe in the arts. II
seems strange that with our large
canning industries we have not YET
seen canned or condensed eggs that
should surely be available for cook
ing purposes. With such an in
dustry for our surplus when eggs
are plentiful, we should be able tc
avoid the low prices that have late
ly been ruling for eggs, and also be
in a position to partly supply the
consumptive demand of other coun
tries.
