GOLD AT LAS VEGAS.

The qniet whisperings of the
discovery OF gold bearing rock, out
on the mess about four miles east
of Las Vegas, for the past week,
developed into a healthy gold ex-
citement on yesterday, says the
Optic. The road between the Sur
prise gold camp, and Las Vegas
WAS fairly blocked with people who
wen, in carriages, on horseback, on
bicycles, burros, and on foot, and
on arriving there the fever did not
seem to abate, but all who could
find a board or stake, located a
claim.
The Optic does not wish to add
or detract from the Importance of
the discovery of mineral that has
been found. but will state that an
examination of the deposit shows
Il to be a blanket vein with solid
cap rock, all regular and the miner

To Remove Rust from LINEN.

Stains of rust may be removed from
fine linen and similar fabrics without
injury to the material. The articles
must be first well soaped, as if they were
to be washed in the ordinary way. An
iron is heated and on this laid wet
cloth. When the heat makes the cloth
steam the rust stain is laid on it and
a little oxalic acid is rubbed on with the
finger. The heat and the moisture
hasten the effect of the acid on the rust.
and when this has disappeared the

WOMAN AND HOME.
cHILDREN'S PROMISES.
Why 1t Is Dishonorabie to Break Faith
with Boys and Girls.

| Why It Is Dishonorabie to Break Faith
| with Boys and Girls.
Parents and others constantly make
promises to little children which they
have not the slightest intention Of full
filling. It is promise for this and a
promise for that, and the only excuse
for neglecting to keep it las is usually
the CASEY is that promises are soon
and easily forgotten by children. What
lessons for mothers and fathers to
instill into young minds! How many
times a day are not some children
threatened with punishment for the
repetition of some mischief or offense,
which is never carried out? The little
ones become SO accustomed to such
threats that they arouse neither fear
nor respect. Promises and threats
should never be made unless one is
prepared to fulfill them.
Promises are often required of little
children when they neither know nor
understand what sacred engagements
they are. Unless the parent respects
his promises, how are the children to
estimate the value or worth of them?
Is it right that children should be COM
PEELED to give promises with never a
thought OF the burden of responsibility,
or with but faint idea of what loyalty
or disloyalty to the obligation may i'm
ply? Be honest with the children.
If you promise, if you threaten, sec
that both are fulfilled. 1t will teach
the children to respect their own word
when given, and act as a moral bracer
on many a nature.-Prairie Farmer.

BLACK DRESS GOODS.
Valuable Hints About the Best Method of
Cleaning Them.

Valuable Hints About the Best Method OF
Cleaning Them.
Nearly everyone nowadays has or
wants black gown, and such goods as
serge, cheviot, cashmere, Henrietta,
ETC., are easily cleaned. First remove
the grease spots with naphtha, and re-
member that this fluid is very explosive
when exposed to either light or fire.
Make lather of warm soapsuds, using
a good, not strong, soap, and tea
spoonful of borax to every two quarts
of water. Into this dip the goods up
and down and wash between the hands;
then ring gently and pat partly dry;
hang in the shade, and when nearly dry
iron on the wrong side with a moderate-
ly warm iron. Always rinse once in
lukewarm water, and iron until the
fabric is perfectly dry. Never rub a
fabric that is being renovated on the
washboard, nor wiring it tightly, and
in using naphtha remember that it
roughens the hands, and that after
using it it is well to put vaseline upon
them and to wear old gloves. Wash al
paca in the same manner as cashmere,
adding little gum arabic to the rims
ing water. If the black goods are of
a rusty color restore them by sponging
with ammonia and alcohol. Always use
a piece of the same material or one near
to it to sponge with.

'Tll wait, but see no chair"
Betty! Betty! come quick! come
quick! come quick! Some one here
Take chair" called out the voice loud
ly.
Rather alarmed, for there was no one
in the little shop but herself. my friend
FASTENED to the door, when she hap
pened to catch sight of bird cage just
inside it, containing strange looking
black bird, with two white bands, that
reminded her of those worn by English
clergymen, extending downward from
it's throat. At the same moment a
woman appeared at the half-opened
door leading to the rear of the shop. !,
''Tas tina burd be talken, num-" said
she, with strong North-of-England
accent. ''Tas a parson, mum; them do
go on wors'n parrots"
On inquiry, the talker proved to be
what naturalists call Prostehmadera,
which had been brought by the shop
keeper all the way from New Zealand
(where she had formerly resided), of
which the bird is a native.
Its POPULAR name, "parson bird, given
it by the carly colonists of New Zea-
land in allusion to the peculiar tufts
of long white feathers that hang down
from the throat as if to set off it's glossy
black pluInage, and which resemble
clerical bands. certainly seems appro-
pirate. Perched on stump, as an ex-
temporized talker, it gives vent to jar
gon of sounds, displaying it's bands and
gesticulating in manner that irresist-
IDLY reminds one of the declamatory
style of preaching. A gentleman de-
scribing the bird says:
''He shakes his head, bending to one
side. then to another. as if he made his
first to this part of his hearers
and afterward to that, and once again,
with pent-up vehemence, contracting
his muscles and drawing himself to-
gether, his voice wakes loud, as if to
awaken sleepers to their senses"
It is favorite cage bird with the col
onists, being easily reared in confine-
ment, and its extraordinary powers of
mimicry make it very interesting pet.
II can repeat whole sentences and imi-
tate, among other things, the barking
If dog to perfection. Its memory,
and articulation are bet
ter than those of any parrot; in fact,
perhaps, it is the best talker among
birds.

Remedy for Rheumat,sm.

The following receipt has been found
specially effective in stubborn cases
of rheumatism: One new egg well beat
en-, half a pin of vinegar, one ounce of
spirits of turpentine, half an ounce of
camphor. These ingredients must first
be beaten together thoroughly. then
putsin bottle and shaken for ten min
utes. after which it should be corked
tightly to keep out the air. In half
an hour 1T will be ready for use. 1t
should be applied three or four times
a day, and for rheumatism in the head
it should be rubbed on the back of the
neck and behind the ears. 1t will keep
for an indefinite time, and, in fact, is
rather improved by age.

As to Polished Finger N.il,.

Polishing the finger nails until they
resemble an advertisement for stove
or silver polish is crime against good
taste. 1t ranks with the wearing of
diamond earrings to market and other
barbarities. The nails need sufficient
rubbing with the chamois brush after
the hands have been washed to revive
them from the dinginess impaired by
water. But the rhinestone-lile glow
which was the pride of the well-mani-
cured few years ago is considered
atrocious now. The use of paste and
of coloring matter to increase the lus-
ter Is utterly abolished.

DARNiNG STOCKINGS.
In o Great Many Cases the Games Not
Worth the Candle.

In q Great Many Cases the Games Not
| Worth the Candle.
| There is a sort of sentiment prevalent
among gentlewomen against casting
away wornout stockings that may be
carried to ridiculous extent. A great
many women spend laborious hours
darning stockings that are only fit for
the ragbag. The woman who wears
undarned' stockings is the popular idea
of a sloven. She may have a rent in her
dress and decide that the gown is past
its usefulness and will not pay for max
ing over, and no one will criticise her.
But woe unto the unhappy girl who
innocently decides that it is cheaper
to buy new stockings than mend her old
ones. All her friends are likely to write
her down as an extravagant person.
Although good stockings are worth mo-
more than IS cents pair, she is ex-
pected to patiently darn and redarn
them, until scarcely q thread of the
original substance is left on the feet.
The prejudice against casting away
wornout stockings dates back to those
days when stocking was an expensive
article. 1t was not until the time of
Elizabeth that knitted hosiery was
known, and although about this time
William Lee, a delinquent Oxford stu
dent, invented the stocking loom, stock
ings did not become very cheap until an
American applied power or steam to the
loom. To-day stockings are so cheap
that 1t does not pay anyone to spend
hours wearing out eyesight and pa
thence darning and redarning holes that
are pretty certain to appear again the
next week. The first stitches that drop
il stockinet should be taken up and, il
possible, woven back with the needle
in regular stockinet stitch. When large
bulls eyes, as children call the great
holes that appear when the fabric is
giving, show themselves, instead of
spending patient hours in weaving them
into firm shape, it is really cheaper to
rut off the feet, hem the legs after rip
ping them up and use them for dust
cloths. Unless your time is worth less
than rs cents day it does not pay to
darn large holes at the present price Of
Y. Tribune.
