snow IN cd. of w,rs N.tIn-.

The Virginia City, Nevada, Chronicle
says that General McGlashan of
Truckee has completed his test OF sub
Btituting structures Of wire netting for
the wooden sheds, on the line of the
Central Pacific railroad across the Sier-
ra snow belt with satisfactory results,
and will submit to the Southern Pacific
Company proposition to adopt that
method of keeping the roadbeds clear
of snow during the Writer. The tests
made showed that scarcely any snow
sifted through the interstices of the
wire netting during the heaviest storm
of this winter. The inventor claims
that by the use of wire netting not only
will the annual loss from fire be avert
ed, but its substitution will enable
tourists to obtain an unobstructed
view of the fine scenery while crossing
the Sierras. The building of a mile
of wooden snowsheds costs $4,000,
and the construction Of wire netting
would be much cheaper.

Nothing is easier than ridicule; and
in nine cases out of ten where ridicule
is used, it is resorted to only because
1t is the only weapon available. The
man OF intelligence will use his rea-
son in the argument with his 'ppo-
nent; the man of knowledge will use
his knowledge; but the man who has
neither knowledge nor intelligence
must resort to ridicule. 1t is poorly
furnished armory which supplies no
better weapon.

Ex-President Harrison Is in favur OF
peace and arbitration, but in his letter
to the United Society of Christian En-
deavor. Boston. he said: ut would
have been in vain to suggest the eull-

disarmament to the settlers on hos
tile Indian frontier. They would have
told you rightly that the conditions

Critics OF missions, who delight in
saying that at takes dollar to carry
a cent" to the beneficiaries Of these
organizations, are conclusively refuted
by facts given in connection with the
missions of the Methodist Epis-
copal church. During the church year
1878 this body expended in the for
eign and domestic mission fields about
twelve hundred thousand dollars. The
Salaries of missionary bishops, secre-
taries, and so forth" together with the
office and incidental expenses" took
just six and a half cents out of each
dollar given to be expended in mission
work. The children of this world "
may be wiser in their generation than
the children of light" at least the
critics think so; but the fact remains
that a business corporation which
could keep its cost of administration"
within seven per cent OF its total ex-
penditure would feel that it exhibited
very commendable worldly" skill.

Gentlemen who believe in correcting
their wives by physical methods will
naturally find much encouragement
and satisfaction in the decision of
Judge Peabody of st. Louis, who holds
husband is justified in chastising his
wife in moderation. The trouble is
that wives have lately developed an in
clination to do the chastising them
selves. Two recent instances in the
daily papers illustrate this tendency.
One was that of Mrs. Albina Chemlik
of Chicago, who, upon being reproVed
by her husband, broke stove leg
over his head. The other concerns
Mrs. Sarah Adams of Camden, N. j..
who found her husband in saloon
when he should have been at home
and proceeded to spank him coram
'publico. 1t is obvious that Judge
Peabody's ruling will afford little
comfort to Messrs. Chemlik and
Adams. nor will it aid husbands whose
wives are expert in the handing oil
rolling pins and teakettles as weapons
of offense and defense. Judge Pea
body may decree that the wife should
submit to chastisement, but If the lady
disregard the ruling it Is going TO De
difficult to enforce it We doubt II

tempt proceedings to sustain MS de-
ciSion.

Too Many Names.-About 1900 different

would be a wise thing no doubt to have

nETrINA GERARD WOULD REFORM,
Is ReconciIed to Her Mother and
Win Abandon the Stage.
From the New York Herald.

From the New 1Ofk AeTdlu.
Bettina Gerard, whose escapades have
attracted public attention at intervals for
several years, has announced her attention
of abandoning her life of dissipation and
taking up the vocation of nursing. She
has enlisted the sympathy OF George
Blair. SUPERINTENDENT OF the Outdoor Poor,
and he has effected reconciliation with
her mother, Mrs. 'Ordway, of Washington,
and will aid her in securing a position
as nurse in one of the city institutions.
Miss Gerard was arrested for intoxica-
ton about six weeks ago and committed
10 the workhouse for three months by
Magistrate Crane. She was sick and al
most destitute, and was at once sent TO
the hospital on Blackwell's Island.
Then she attracted Mr. Blairs attention,
and he was impressed by the apparent
sincerity of her desire to reform. She as
sured him that she had no desire to re-
turn to the stage, as she feared its temp
tations, but desired to devote herself to
nursing. She said that she did not desire
any salary, as she had a small income on
which she could live.
Mr. Blair communicated with Mrs. Ord
way. and last Wednesday Miss Gerard was
discharged from the workhouse and COM
mitted 10 her mothers custody by Magis-
trate Crane Mrs. Ordway took her to
Washington, and after a few weeks rest
she will return and make application for
appointment as a nurse.
