FACTS AND FANClES.

At the dance, it is remarked, that the
lady who gently tapped her husband
on the shoulder with fan at the dance
the other evening and said, "Love. it is
growing late; | think we had better go
home,2' Is the same, after getting home,
shook the rolling pin under his nose and
said: "You infamous old snaggletooth
scoundrel you, if you ever look at that
mean, hateful, calico-faced, mackerel-
eyed, old thing your eyes were rivited
on tonight, Pll burst your cocoanut wide
open for you.
Ike has finally learned the funnel
trick. He took it in two doses--one
some time ago and the other Thanks
giving Day. He dropped in Thyes' and
saw some Of his acquaintances attempt
ing new feat and he watched them
with interest. One of them struck a
funnel in the top of his trousers, threw
his head back, placed 50.cent piece on
his forehead and tried to drop it in the
funnel by slowly lowering his head. Af-
ter all had failed Ike insisted on trying
it, though all had tried TO dissuade him
from attempting feat TOO difficult ior
them. The funnel was placed in the
waistband Of his trousers and he threw
back his head to receive the coin on his
expansive brow. At that junctnre a
pitcher OF ice water was empted into the
funnel, and by the time Ike got through
dancing the jokera had vanished. He
treasured the incident until his of friends
the box factory at Verdi came here and
then he wanted to show them the fun
mel trick.
"It's this way" he explained, "you
put the funnel in the top OF your panta-
looms, 80, then throw your head back,
so, and-wow!"
Again Ike was forced to change his
raiment, and he is not showing people
what he knows about the funnel trick.

NEVADA'S INGRATEs.

Qulquefois III the Genoa Conrier has
the following to say of the rich men who
have gone elsewhere to live after making
their fortunes in Nevada
Nevada's capacity to make ingrates
has been something wonderful. How
few men that Nevada has greatly re-
wardeded have returned her either a
good word or deed? None of her wealthy
mon will reside with her, and when they
die they forget the very orphans made
in their contests for wealth and power.
Her schools and public institutions are
neglected by them, and all the money
made in the State is carted away to
beautify and fructify other States and
other countries. No Investments are
are made here, and our deserts lie as
wild as when first traversed by man.
Six hundred and fifty millions has been
extracted out of one single ledge in this
State, and there is scarcely anything left
to show a dollar of it. All the monu
ments OF Nevada's ingrates are inverted
shafts-holes in the ground. One old
philosopher has said, ''it is noble to
make ingrates,' but think it is idiotic.

Growing girls do not always appreci-

that they are forming their figures for
after life. Dropping the shoulders lit
tie more every day, dropping the head
as one walks, standing unevenly, so that
one hip sinks more than the other-ail
these defects, easily corrected now, will
be five times as hard in five years and
twenty-five times as hard in ten years.
