suits. A meeting of the Ranchers inter
ested was held, at which time a commit
tee consisting of II. Lango. T. HeiIwinkle
Z. NJ. Henningsen, and John Frantzen
was appointed. The Committee, who
thoroughly understand the water quos-
ton in Carson Valley, at once formed a
plan where by every ranch could be prop
erly irrigated, and with as little waste as
possible. Chas. Brown was engaged TO
carry this rlan into effect, and the conse-
quence has been that even with the IN
usual scarcity Of water. this season. no
ranch will actually suffer for the lack gift
on the East Fork.
All the water IN the river Is taken past

The water question is the all important
matter for the people OF Carson Valley as
in other parts Of Nevada. and farming
operations cannot be extended in any di-
reeiion until provision has been made to
increase the water supply. The noun

Papyrus and Paper.

There is no evidence that papyrus
was grown for commercial purposes
outside of Egypt during the whole
Roman period and the industry of its
growth and manufacture must have
been a large and profitable one. In
the time of Tiberius a sedition was
nearly caused by a scarcity of paper
and a rebellious papermaker, in the
days Of Aureliau, boosted that he could
equip an army from the profits of his
business-and did it, too.
Parchment was invented by the
Greeks when papyrus was scarce and
the middle ages reinvented it. There
is evidence that linen rags were used in
papermaking as early as the eighth and
ninth centuries. In paper OF that pc
Rod the fiber was chiefly linen, with
traces Of cotton, hemp and other ibers.
The known specimens are of oriental
origin and appear to have been clayed,
like modern papers, the material used
being a starch paste manufactured from
wheat.
The oldest manuscript written on
cotton paper in England is in the Brit
ish museum and dates from 1049 A. d.
and the oldest on the same material in
the Paris National library is dated 1850.
In 1888 the Christian successors of the
Spanish Saracens made paper of rags
instead of raw cotton, Which had been
formerly employed. - al The Pear

Her Subscription.

At the time of a passing rebellion in
Ireland, known as Smith OBrien's, the
region where Frances Power Cobbe
lived and worked among the poor was
transformed, as she says, into a little
Hecla; not under snow but mud. Clubs
were formed for the purpose of buying
pixies, to he used whenever the leaders
at Dublin should call for an insurrec-
ton. The result was rs harmless as
the bursting of a bubble, but meantime
there had been real danger for all land
ed proprietors, whose DOWNFALL had
been determined upon. One incident
related by Miss Cobbe shows her inno-
cent participation in the rebellion. She
says:

South African Review: A very curious
feature Of the coasts OF England, where

These are noticeable In Devon and Corn

terrible sea front consists Of precipitous
walls of rock, with only here and there q
dip, where a brawling stream has sawed
It's course down to the sea, and here there
is, perhaps, "a sandy shore Of diminutive
proportions and the rocks around are
pierced in all directions with caverns.
The smugglers formerly ran their goods
into these caves, when the weather per-
mitted, or the preventive men were not on
the lookout. they slowed away their
goods in the caves and CAV notice to the
farmers and gentry OF the neighborhood,

donkeys, which were henceforth sent down
to the caches, and the kegs II bales were
removed under cover of the night or of
storm. AS an excuse for keeping droves
OF donkeyS IL was pretended that the sea
sand ana the kelp served as admirable
dressing for the land, and no doubt SO
they did. The trains of asses sometimes
came up laden with sacks Of sand, but
not infrequently with kegs Of brandy.
Now a wary preventive man might
watch too narrowly the proceedings of
these trains of asses. Accordingly squircs,
yeomen and farmers alike set to work 10
cut deep ways In the face Of the downs,
along the slopes OF the hills, and bank
them up so that the whole caravans OF
laden beasts might travel up and down
absolutely unseen from the sea and great
ly screened from the land side. Unques-
tionably the sunken ways and high banks
are a great protection against the wea-

G5 per cent of the weight of the wood, may
be condensed into p~yroligneous acid, from
which are obtained wood alcohol, acetate
OF lime, and wood tars. A cord of wood
weighing 1900 pounds produces about 1850
pounds of p~froligneous and 20 0pounds OF
charcoal. The pyroligneous acid from one
cord of wood produces nine gallons of SO
per cent crude VOC alcohol, 200 pounds OF
acetate of lime, and about % gallons of tar,
besides 80 bushels of charcoal. After the
p~yroligneous acid is neutralized With lime,
the wood alcohol is distilled off, the lime
holding the acetic acid in solution.
After the separation of the wood spirit,
the remaining liquid is boiled down In
pans to a sugar, which Is dried, and be-
comes the acetate of lime in commerce.

A FATALITY AVOIDED

When neuralgia is accompanied by n

came rapidly worse. The doctor was puz-
