Small things are sometimes very impor-
tant factors in the lives of men and of MI
lions. A chance word spoken unintentlon-
ally has often resulted in differences be-
tween rulers that have led to the overthrow
of kingdoms A mere act of ordinary
kindness has been known to change what
appeared to be the destiny of a man from a
wretehed and ignominious death to life
with opportunity to make life glorious, and
all within the short space of an hour

Nature,s Protection For the Ear.

The membrane lining the canal of the ear
contains a great number of little glands
which secrete waxy substance having an
intensely bitter taste. The purpose of this
is To prevent the entrance of insects and to
keep the ear clean, as the layer Of wax dries
in scales, which rapidly fall away, thus re-
moving with them any particle of dust
or other foreign matters which may have
found entrance to the ear.

very prosperous one nth our people,
but there are some bright prospects
ahead for 1894. Several of the gold
mines OF hawthorne District are
looking very well Alum Creek is at

doubt but old Aurora will experience
a revival IN the near future. ingalls,
coal niue continues in a good grade
of coal, and experts predict that the
character of coal will improve with
depth. Considerable work is being
done ia Aida Valley, Gold Mountain
and Tule Canyon, where there are
several good mines. Reports from
Pine Grove and Cambridge are cheer

Silver Peak mines have changed

cannot be worked at present, but if

AT last the Bimetallc League has
done some practical work. II they
open a fight all along the line in favor
of silver and make it apply directly
TO the election of Congressman this
coming fall; if where in district one
party dominates silver man for Con
gress and the other party dominates
a goldite, the votes of silver men are
concentrated on the silver candidate
without regard to his politics outside,
and il where candidates are oddities
the silver men nominate a silver
champion, the result will be to fill the
House of Representatives next fall
with majority of congressman
whom all the power of the Admins
tration cannot hypnotize. 1t looks
to us like genuine, practical work,
that must in results be of unmixed
good In States where Senators are
TO be elected next winter the same
rule should be applied to candidates
for the Legislature To help this
thing through, every man in the
West ought to give his influence and
just rs much money as he can spare

1T is reported from Washington
that the President may veto the bills
for the admission of States, because
they would seat eight silver Senators.
That would precipitate beautiful
Kilkenny-cat fight between the two
factions OF the Democracy, with the
Republicans as spectators.
