A WORD FOR NEVADA.

Nevada is a great State from any
standpoint, and, with an irrigation
system like that OF Colorado and
more attention paid to the gold re-
sources Of the State, there is nothing
to prevent it from becoming large
and prosperous community. There
is great interest taken in irrigation
in Nevada, and the probability is
that during the coming year some
very important enterprises Of that
character will be inausuri.tcd.-
Denver Republican.
.Anent the foregoing, there are
three places in our own county where
storage reservoirs can he easily and
chedply constructed with an iabund-
ant annual supply Of water, each %
which would reclaim from one to
three hundred thousand acres of the
finest grain land on the coast. These
lands produce not only all varieties
of small grain, but Ill kinds of hard
Ter We seLables are pro uccd in abund-
ance. Recent experiments on the
arid lands of this State show them to
ex eel in the proluc ion of sugar beets
and we doubt not that Il large area of
this county when brought unler
systems OF irrigation will be found
extremely valuable for that industry.

LengthenInE the Eyea.

1t is said that it is common custom
practiced among the Turks, who hold
long eyes in such exalted esteem as to
lengthen them by cutting the corners
Of the eyes. This is done very early
at the age of two or three years-the
outer corner being deftly slit with 9
lancet about the twelfth part of an
inch. While the wound is healing the
lids are drawn outward every day. and
when it is quite curved the eye IS still
submitted to the drawing process every
day for long time, with the eventual
result that it becomes long and narrow,
and satisfies the taste of the "unspeak-
able Turk"
