And that's what's the matter with
EmpOfia-too much whist. Tho
painted china set is married To cards.
Women have no higher thought from

playing cards. Little crows feet APP

an evening with whist, and deep. yer.

their bloom nj the rented card tables
than there are women who have worn
themselves out over the kitchen stove.

divers are now able 10 ascertain and

only feel, but can see exactly the con
ditions ON the bottoms Of rivers. The
outfit of a diver costs from $500 to
$500. This means the rubber armor,
the helmet or brass head piece, the
air pump aud the hose which Is used
to carry the air down to him. 1t also
includes telephone service down to
him. by which he can carry on a con-
versation while he is at work. The
diver at work at the Aqueduct bridge
has no telephone. His brother always
manages the air hoser for him, while
two laborers 10y the pump keep up
constant stream Of air to him. The
diver has been working so long with
his brother, that by the aid Of his
signal rope he can almost carry on a
conversation by signals and jerks. For
instance, some days since the diver
in examining the bottom of the Golfer
dam around the pier found that he
needed a piece of board nineteen
inches long and seven inches wide at
one end, and but four at the other.
He sent up the information by signals
and the board was cut to suit HIM.
Later on he sent up word by the sig

GIVES JOY TO o r

All Sorts Of Matches Antic pated as the
Result of Nevada Legislation.
SAN Francisco. Jan. N.-The pass
age by the Nevada senate of the bill
licensing prize-fghting has given great
joy to local sports, and already they
have in prospect battles between noted
pugilists of all classes.
It is contended that the imposition OF
s 1000 on every fight will have a ten.
dency to discourage dishonest men
from going into the business Of bring
ing off contests and that square fights
will be assured. 1t is asserted that
Dan Stuart will make his permanent
headquarters in Nevada and will
from time to time arrange con-
tests between the most noted pug.
lists of the country. The sentiment in
Nevada seems to be strongly in favor
of the bill. Carson, Reno and Virginia
City, at any one of which places the
fight may be given, are only IL hours
ride from San Francisco.
