A Pleasant Gathering.

Few are the birthday parties, at
which 80 much enjoyment is had, as
was the one given in, honor of tho
seventeenth birthday Of Joe Gardner
last night.
By $40 o'clock, as Jolly crowd as
was ever brought together in Elko,
had gathered at the residence of Mr..
Gardner, each bent on having fun
and making ut enjoyable for, the
Others. Various games and singing
were kept going at lively pace till
eleven o'clock. when refreshmen ts,
consisting OF ice cream, cakes, fruit,
candy, chocolate and lemonade, we're
served. After all had eaten, and drank
to their hearts content, the, ,smglnR
and games were resumed and kept up
till away into the wee sina' hours,
when each took their leave for home,
hoping to be among the lucky ones
who are to be invited to Joe's next
party.
Joe was the recipient Of many very
nice and valuable presents.

1rearmenr OF Pain.

In discussing this subject DR.. Gold
scheider of Berlin thinks that narcotics,
and especially morphine, should be
avoided, particularly in chronic dis
eases. Bromides do not suffice of them
selves to allay pain, but are very useful
when pain is due to increased excita-
bility of the nervous system; the per-
manent use Of antineuralgic agents is
to be avoided; the local application Of
cold for the relief Of pain is often USE
ful, especially in affections not deeply
seated, and the value Of the anode in
allaying pain is not clear. DR.. Gold
scheider's opinion of counterirritants
is that they are among the most use
full means in dealing with pain not
only in neurasthenical but likewise in
genuine pain. The question of alter
alton in vascular supply is hypothet-
ical, but venesection, cool or warm ap.
plications and other hydrotherapeutic
measures are certainly useful, and the
effect may be in some measure due to
suggestion. In regard to massage and
treatment by movement, he thinks that
the value of passive and active motion
is still much underestimated, and that
in some cases of sciatica and painful
joints after injuries there is no better
treatment.

Paper Rails.

A notable success is recorded by The
Paper Trade journal in the introduce
tion of railroad rails in Germany and
Russia made from paper material In
the production of such rails wood pulp
has not been found adapted, but ordi-
nary pulp from rags, rope stock, etc., is
resorted to, the processes of grinding,
cooking. digesting and working of these
into pulpy condition being accomplish
ed in regular order, with care, of course,
to have the stock in uniform preparation
and the fiber as we'll preserved as posi-
BILE, and when in pulpy condition the
ingredients for stiffening the rail to a
proper toughness and efficiency-so as to
stand excessive wear and friction from
the wheels and for imparting elasticity,
smoothness and other requirements-are
applied. Quantities of borax, litharge,
paraffin wax, tanners grease, water
proof fish glue, rosin and fine cement
are used in certain proportions, being
added to the pulp while it is yet warm.
Mixing follows, and the ingredients age
thoroughly combined with the fiber. A
quantity of shellac and wood alcohol is
next put into the mixture, and the mass,
after being subjected to another stirring,
is then allowed to settle.

GOOD WORD FOR. THE STATE.
An Iowa Editor Is Impressed With the
State and Says So.


Recently NJ. Bilderback, editor of
the Hampton, Iowa, Globe, spent few
days in Mitchell and on his return
home took occasion to say a few kind
words in reference to the state. His
article is appended below:
A hasty visit to Sioux Falls and
Mitchell, S. D., last week quite effect
ually dispelied an unfavorable opinion
that we have always had of the etate.
Both Sioux Falls and Mitchell are fine
towns, with every business facility and
class OF pushing, progressive business
men, and if there has been business de-
preston there and a stand still spirit
manifest among its people we failed to
observe it. AS for the country, it is
grandly beautiful, the equal in every
way of our justly much vaunted north
western Iowa. and all growing crops
are possibly in advance Of this portion
of Iowa. Both at Sioux Falls and
Mitchell we met number of Iowa
men. They are all prospering and
while they always have a good word
for this state, they are content aud hap
py in their new homes. South Dakota
is all right, has a grand future. wide
awake citizens, and has many splendid
openings for both the farmer, msnufac-
turer and business man. Whatever
unfavorable opinion of the state we
have entertained is dispelled: and
doubtless this is true of all conclusions
reached without investigation and see
ing for ones SELF

Chemistry. Practical and Theoretical.

Young gentlemen, said the lecturer
in chemistry, 'coal exposed to the ele-
ments loses 10 per cent Of its weight
and heating power. This is due to the
action of the alkali constituents off,
'But what if there is & dog sleeping
near the coal, professor?'
"None of your levity, young man.
This is a serious matter"
''That's what father thought when
70 per cent of his coal pile disappeared
during three nights Of exposure. Then
he asked my advice as student Of
chemistry, and I told him to buy dog.
He bought dog with bay window teeth
and the stringhalt in his upper lip, and
now we don't lose | per cent of our coal

chemist I am. Now so on with your

"Reminiscences of Dickens.

It was at the juvenile birthday par
ties that Dickens seemed in all his
glory. At the supper table, in helping
some little miss to 'tride," he would
assure her with all possible gravity that
itwas no trifle at all. When the writer,
urged to make little speech on the oc-
casion of Charities birthday, came to a
full stop at the words "I am sure" !"
Dickens at once came to his assistance
and enabled him to retire from the plat
form, however ungracefully, with the
remark, among others, "Always be
sure. my, dear boy, and you'll get along
all right. -
At the little theatrical entertainments
Dickens was the alpha and the omega
Of the proceedings He was sometimes
author, adapter, condenser, musical di-
rector, manager, prompter, and even
stage carpenter. He overfowed with
energy.
Dickens, doubtless remembering his
own acute sensitiveness as child, could
not Willingly wound child's feelings.
He made fun with, not of, us. No par
ty ever came off at Dickens without
"Sir Roger de Coverley" being intro
duced. Dickens shouted with laughter
as some novice got badly mixed up in
''all hands down the middle.'' Off he
darted after the lost sheep-generally
an awkward boy-and turned his blush
es to smiles by saying, "What dancer
this boy will make when he's tackled a
little more roast beef!" or, "Isn't Tom
my nice young man for small par
ty?"
There was nothing Of the pedagogue
about him-no vulgar attempt to pose
as the brilliant Boz. He was simply
q big boy, and he came down the lad
der Of his fame to meet his fellows on
their ordinary platform-to be one Of
them in their own simple way for q
time. -Harper's Round Table.
