The Nevada Building.

just at the edge of the Forty mine
Mining Camp, flush with the drive
through the Park to the Cliff House,
stands the completed building of Ne
vada, one of the most attractive struc-
lures on the ground, and first of Cali
fornia's sister States which will open
it's doors to the public.
Nevada holds choice site. The
view to the west, where the prayer
book cross towers aloft, and to the
north, over a vast expanse to the
Golden Gate, is uninterrupted. 1t
took just month to erect the Nevada
building, which was completed two
days"ago at cost of $6, 900, subscrib-
ed by the citizens from all it's coun-
ties.
The building is two stories in height,
with roof garden and cave. The
garden is protected by an awning tin
ted in alternate shades of green and
straw-color. It is finished in staff.
The interior walls are covered with
burlap The lower third has the ap-
pearance of being wainscoated, while
the space above is fitted closely with
black velvet frames, relieved by silver
holdings.
Four rooms have been assigned to
the women of Nevada for an exhibit.
Mrs General Clarke, lady commits
sioner, is arranging for this. The ex-
hibits include fancy needle work,
painted china, and a great variety of
usefnl and ornamental articles.
The walls on the second floor are to
be tinted bright terra Gotta. At one
end of the room hangs large oil paint
ing of James w. Nye, the first Cover
nor of the State. Mr.. Graham of
Harper's Weekly is now engaged on a
large panel depicting a characteristic
Nevada scene, which will occupy a
prominent place on the walls.
There is now in the building over
60, 900 pounds of mineral bearing ore
from the great mines of the State. On
Friday there arrived carload of ap-
pies and potatoes, which are now being
installed.
The formal opening of the building
will be delayed until March, in order
to properly celebrate Nevada day,
when the Governor and State officials
will be present, although the exhibits
can be seen to advantage weeks before
then.
The State board of Managers hay
ing charge of the building is as fol
lows: J. A. Yerington, chairman; G..
III. Stoddard, p. Mulcahy, W. T..
Sharon and w. T. Smith.

Now that the Chinese Six Compan-
les have issued their edict that regis
tration of the willy Mongolian goes, it
will probably go. The United States
should feel duly grateful and highly
fattered, that these Six Companies
concur in the legislative enactment.
Great is the power of the republic
when the Chinese Six Companies stand
in.

Training Tumbler Pigeons.

We have known many purchases made
Of Birmingham rollers" and great
disappointment expressed at the after
performance Of the birds of their prog
eny simply from caroiessncss in their
management. The best flying tumblers
in the world, if left to fly at will, will
rapidly degenerate. Each hicr has its
own little details Of management, which,
after all, matter very little. The essen
tial point is that, in beginning 10 train,
the birds are only let ont occasionally,
say every three OF four days and when
hungry, be it morning or evening The
reasons for both precautions are, first, the
previous confinement causes them to ny
actively at once upon being liberated
and second, their appetite leads them
to a quick return as soon as they have
had exercise enough.
They must be fed Immediately on re-
turn to keep up this habit, plentifully
while only occasionally flown, but light
II when, being trained and let out IN
the morning, they are going TO be let
out again in the evening, their full
meal being in this case reserved till aft
er the last fly. If of good stock and first
tossed when there are no birds TO tempt
them to pitch, they soon get into the
habit Of bursting OF the moment they
are liberated, and this habit must be
very carefully preserved, wedding out
instantly, as soon as discovered, any un-
usually lazy bird which, would other
wise be a check upon the rest and might
lead them to descend with it. No othef
system is needed beyond this in training
tumblers. .-Liyerpool Courier.

The tendency Of the present fashions

made in the most picturesque fashion
and trimmed with quantities OF cream
lace. Like Cinderella's slipper, they are
meant for tho woman they fit best.
There may be a slight distinction in the
broeade meant for the younger women
but this is not very noticeable. The old

In the winter of 1898 the water rum
ming down hill near Barnsboro, Wis,
was frozen. James Jackson, the owner
of the land, was much surprised one
morning to see a black headed drake
coasting down the incline. jackson,
who is very thin, hid himself behind a
sapling and waited. Presently he saw
seven ducks ny to the top OF the hill
and 20 sliding down after the drake.
