LINCOLN.
Lincoln, Tropical Nevada is de-
stined to shortly become one of the EN-
pire counties of the State. Not only are
the mineral resources there being extern
sively developed, but the building of the
new railroad insures market for the
products Of the county and consequen-
tial increase in production.
CHURCHILL.
Little Churchill is steadily improving.
The fertile sink OF the Carson is produc-
ing splendid crops and the farmers are a
happy and prosperous people. The pro-
posed system OF storage reservoirs will
enable the reclamation there of tens Of
thousands acres OF the most fertile soil
IN Nevada. The proposed Central Pa
cific cutoff will enable the cheaper mar
keting of produce and vastly benefit the
county. The mining camp Of Cotton
wood in Churchill is destined to become
a great producer.

The stock industry in Lander county

Mining is also being more extensively
carried on there than for many years.

Nevada Redivivusl This is the watch
word of the State. After long years and
decades OF decreasing population and
languishing resources new era has
dawned.
In scanning a number of our exchanges
from the various counties, notes that the
spirit OF growth and improvement has
imbued every section Of the State.
EUREKA.
Even Eureka, with its silent mills and
deserted mines of demonetized white
metal, is making discoveries OF new ore
bodies of sufficient value to permit ship
ment.
STOREY.
Even Storey-"sad relic of departed
days''-has begun the ascent from bed
rock. The introduction OF electric pow
er and discovery OF excellent ore bodies
in hitherto unexplored ground have
stimulated business and stopped the out
fiux of population. The Comstock mines
are again paying bullion tax and other
mines in the county are producing pro-
fitable ores.
ORMSBY.
Ormsby has awakened from the stupor
Of two decades and is showing life and

Douglass is rapidly becoming the seat
OF wealth. The productive valley Of the
Carson is tenanted by progressive peo-
pie, who have redeemed the desert and
made 1t to blossom like the rose Under
CO operative methods -four mills and
creameries are demonstrating to the
world that what Nevada produces is
equal to the best.
LYON.
Lyon county is forging to the front,
especially in the mining industry. Great
lodes of copper ores are being developed
by largely capitalized companies, smelt-
ters are being built and prosperous
towns are springing up.
ESMERALDA.
Esmeralda is also beginning to realize
the hopes OF its people that it is destined
to become mining country Of import
ance.
The coal fields at Columbus are being
opened up and the fuel question solved
for that section Of the State. The Vul-
can Company backed by $5,0O0,000, will
make a great producer of the copper
mine near Sodaville. An eastern syndi-
cate has purchased the holdings Of the
Hawthorne Mining Company and is de-
vcloping the large ledge of free milling

The sleeves are, decidedly more generous
in size than last year and are prone TO
elaboration, but skirts are as tight as
ever above the knees, with long and far

enough. but the garnitures are as rich as

few seasons has so endeared itself to It's
wearers that they have found nothing to

though at intervals somebody hints at

terial that one of the Doeuillet's most ad-
mired models is made. The crepe dc
chine has a delicate biscuit-colored
ground upon which are printed mas
turtiums in glowing yellows with green
foliage. The color harmony reaches
perfection by the application OF rich
biscuit colored Bruges guipure. There
is a seven gored underskirt of biscuit

PARIS, Feb. 1S.-Spring toilettes, like
spring flowers, blossom layishly in that
international vantage ground, the Riy-

Fnvors woman Suffrage.

At the recent annual meeting Of the
members of the New York Hebrew Techni-
cal School for Girls. Mark Twain had
this to say about woman suffrage: Il

time. Since the first step was taken in
that movement, in 1858, there has not been

The proper demeanor of woman on the
street car when seat is vacated for her
has frequently been the subject of dis
cusSior. Whether che should plump her
self into il without word. as II she had
merely received what was due her,
whether she should protest that she had
only short distance to ride and that
she really could not deprive him of his
seat are some phases OF the question.
There is something to be said in favor
OF all the courses and nearly much on
the other side. The discourtesy of the
woman who takes a seat If IL belonged
to her is alleged by some critics to have
led to the present attitude of the men.
who no longer feel themselves called up
on TO give up their seats to women. On
the other hand. women who accept the
proffered seat with too cordial smile are
sometimes made the object of unpleasant
attentions from men VINO mistake polite
ness for the indication of another mood.
This is the Justification Of some women
who never acknowledge the courtesy OF
the man who gives her a seat.
As the man is really the more impor-
tant factor in the transaction II Is In
tcresting to hear his view, and the New
York Sun quotes it thus:
NO WOindn ever TtWdEuS Il man = pO-
likeness when he gives her a seat in
car so fully as the one that quietly takes
it with a polite recognition of his court
esy and nothing more" said man who
still gives up his seat. THE woman who
really makes him regret that he ever
took the trouble is the argumentative. in
dependent type. who really couldn't think
of taking his seat and couldn't deprive
him of it as she hadn't far to ride and
wasn't tired. rather preferred to stand
up, in fact, she had been sitting down
all day. This is the sort OF v~onan who
turns mans mind toward thoughts OF
murder and leads him to wish he had lie
presence of mind to take the seat again
and astonish her by sitting down just as
she firmly intends to do after she fin
ished with this preliminary protest But
he usually tries to restrain himself, al
though it is difficult when the entire car
is suddenly made conscious of his pres
ence by the woman's protests.

his politeness that proves discouraging

of small puffs closely adjusted to the
tight taffeta underskirt, Below the puffs
the fullness falls loosely and finishes
with fitted and appliqued fare of Bruges

tone of the crepe de chine.
The bodice has tight lining of biscuit

There is yoke with collar and attached
pointed epaulettes of Bruges guipure. and
over this is arranged the novel drapery of
the lowered crepe de chine which is
gathered over the lace yoke into diagonal
rows of Duffs like the top of the skirt.
The fuliness thus formed shapes the full

The possibilities OF headgear as a com
