what We Inherit

We are not to blame for. We cannot be held
responsible for the dispositions and tendencies
which we derive from our ancestors, nor are
we responsible for the germs of disease which
NAV manifest themselves in our blood as her
itage from former generations. But we are re-
sponsible If we allow these germs to develop
into serious diseases which will impair our
usefulness and destroy our happiness. We are
responsible If we transmit to our descendants
the disease germs which 1t is possible for US to
eradicate by the use of Hoods Sarsaparilla.

power to make rich, red blood and establish
perfect health in place of disease.

A Pleasant Time.

The social dance given last
Tuesday evening at the Odeon Hall
by the Kindergarten Association
was a decided success socially as
well as financially The hall was
beautifully decorated, the music
was good, and the attendance large.
The ladies cleared something over
$50 on the evening. The associa-
ton now has money enough on
hand to open the school, and Miss
Annie Mansfield, of Virginia City,
has been engaged to teach. The
school will be opened inside of two
weeks.

Last Saturday evening a young
lady thought to be from the Com
stock, arrived in Dayton, on a char
table mission to the boys of the
town. She had not been here long
before she had met all the sports,
and received numerous invitations,
to indulge in all kinds Of refresh
ments. Some of the boys nearly
broke their necks to see who would
drive her home, and one of them
offered her lodgings for the night.
She didn't do thing but accept
them, and when it became time to
retire the girl proved to be Ed. Haw-
kins, dressed up fit to kill in girls
clothes. There was many an old
married stiff out looking for an in
PRODUCTION that night, too. Ed. says
he is glad he really isn't girl.

Gold i'm wye County.

Gold is known to exist in the
Jefferson, Spanish Belt and Tolyabe
mountains, Nye county, and if a
strong syndicate would take hold OF
the mines in those districts and de-
velop them, no doubt the result Of
the undertaking would prove most
satisfactory to the members thereof.

Work on the Lookout mine in
this district has been suspended for
short time. The Strosnider Bros.
are now putting up a cabin at the
mine and arranging to put in a
small horsepower hosting works,
and when this is done the shaft
will be sunk 80 or 40 feet deeper.
The working of ore from this mine
yielded about what we stated it did
last week-$30 per ton. The mill
worked the ore up to 80 per cent. of
the assay value, and the bullion is
worth $3.50 per ounce. The sui
phurets caught on blankets go
about 500 per ton.
The shaft on the Martindale and
Pratt mine is now down 60 feet.
The ledge widens as it goes down,
and is now two feet and half in
width, and the ore will work from
$40 to $25 per ton. Twenty tons of
ore are being hauled to the Nordyke
mill from the groupings of the ledge,
and when this is worked twenty
tons from the drift on the 60-foot
level will be milled. In this man
ner the owners can tell about what
they have in the mine Four men
are now at work on this mine.

Tnscarora Quartz.

Last Sunday Charles Hyer gave
the boys an exhibition of what
Tuscarora quartz will do when put
into mortar and pounded up. He
had about two ounces of rock and
obtained a string of colors that
would give man the yellow fever.
He has shipped carload lots that
Melted $500 ton. The ledge is
from three inches to three feet wide.
Like many good mine, his claim
is now tied up with litigation. Tus-

Work i'm Como.

r. A. Logan visited his Como
property this week Wednesday.
The lower tunnel is not yet in to
the ledge by several feet, the ground
being pretty hard. They expect to
have the tunnel in in a week or SO,
however, and if the ledge shows up
favorably work will at once be com
menced on removing the mill and
working the ore.

MAY MARRIAGES uNLUck~.
Old Superstition Which Has Powerful In
fiuence With European Bridal Couples.

Old Superstition Which Has Powerful In
huence With European Bridal Couples.
The municipal statistics of the city Of
Marseilles show the observer that on the
2Sth of April, 1894. there were regis
no less than "a marriages Why this
enormous number? Because, according
to an ancient tradition, couples that
marry in the month of May expose them
selves TO great danger-1eath will soon
smite the unfortunates, o., at the very
least, their union will not be blessed
with children. Therefore large num-
Der of Marseillaiso lovers awaited them
selves of the last days Of April TO join
themselves in wedlock.
This curious superstition is by no
means confined to Marseillos. M. 10
Blaut, French investigator. ascribes
to it an origin in Roman antiquity. The
Roman poet Ovid said that May was no
time for widows to marry or for young
girls. and adds that tho imprudent
woman who braves fate by so doing will
die early. Plutarch agrees to the trr-u
Of this.
1t may be because of this ancient prin-
ciple that the Roman Catholic church
has made the month of May sacred to
the Virgin. However this may be, the
idea has certainly perpetuated itself with
singular persistence Tassoni, writing
about the middle of the seventeenth CEN
tury, relates that among the inhabitants
of Ferraras many young mobiles and
princes who were married in May died
only few days afterward. ct is the
observation of this strange fact, " he OBJ
serves, 'that induced the Ferrarese, Sc
it is said, to follow the ancient custom. y
At the present day the superstition
has not ceased to show itself in certain
regions of Italy, in Roumania, in south
Germany, Bohemia, Westphalia, Eng
land and France, notably in Saintongt
and in the Cevennes, where every one
acknowledges the truth Of the proverb
"The month Of flowers is a month O
tears. 4"
"Perhaps, said Plutarch, "th'
month of May is regarded as unluck,
because it comes between April ant
June, the months respectively of Venu
and Juno, the tutelary goddesses of mar
riage, or perhaps it is because May l
