time BEFORE CHRISTMAS.
December Is the Most Inspiring
Part of All the
Year.

The early weeks of the month of
December are, in a way, the most in
spring of the year. The inspiration
comes not from the outside, but from
within. 1t is not like the spring sea-
son, when the sap begins to flow in
trees and the blood to run with new
vigor in the veins; nor like full-bodied
summer, when all the world looks
green and fair, and the spirit of man
is filled with the glory of Gods beau
tiful world; nor like autumn, when
things animate and inanlmate seem
to be settling down to rest after work
accomplished-the twilight Of the year.
Unlike these, early December has a
distinct atmosphere of anticipation, as
Of time of reckoning, as of time
of reward. In every heart, in spite Of
the rush of business or the daily
work, there is a feeling akin to that
whic;" in the old days we felt when
counting the days to the school vaca-
tion-and home, says the indianapolis
news. The thought of Christmas days
is in the very air every day; thou
sand things kf y t in mind, from the
early-ighted s4o+ windows filled with
their invitations to g leer to the
happy loPk on many f. les that testi-
fes to ~bme unselfsh preparations
mads. making, that friends
Christmas may be joyful.

Some Quaint Traditions.

Berlin has some curious Christmas
traditions. Thus, the clothes line
must not hang in the loft between
Christmas and New Years day on
penalty Of bad luck. Dreams dreamt
within the same period are sure to be
true, while children born on Christ
mas day will have the gift of proph-
ecy. To insure wealth, people must
eat the roe of the carp on Christmas
Eve, because fish roe signifies money;
and scales from the Christmas carp
carried in the purse will keep it we'll
filled throughout the year. Herring
roe will suffice for those who are too
poor to buy carp. A less cheerful
practice is to make little sand heaps
with a thimble for each member of
the family on Christmas Eve, and
whoever's heap has fallen in by next
morning is sure to die during the
year.

ri
ttr'HE last day of the Old Year
makes q fellow feel sort Of
l. reminiscent, dosen't it?" said
the man at the roll top desk. "The worst
case Of homesickness ever had was
brought on by encouraging that!feeling.
II lived in Chicago then, and for
some reason or other hadn't visited the
old farm for five years, though the old
folks made an annual visit to me, and l
made them enjoy it. Well, when the
clock announced the last day Of '98,
was sitting in hotel lobby with lot
of travelling men. Every one Of them
had been a farmers boy, and we fell to
telling stories. We spoke of skating and
swimming, forgetting frosted ears,
chores, and the interview with ma when
we came home late for supper and she
felt our hair to see if it was wet. We
lived over orchard raids-never refer
ring to the painful memory of how pa
waited in the dark, when we climbed in
at the window. We remembered the
sweetness Of stolen melons, overlooking
what happened when old Thompson

we were all homesick.
"Then fellow from North Dakota
spoke of the holidays on the old farm;
thought of the old folks with lump in
my throat the size of prize pumpkin.
Why, hadn't written home for month,
and hadn't spent New Years day there
since came to the city. Suddenly re-
solved to go home and surprise them.
The man from North Dakota said for
two cents he'd go with me; he didn't
know my mother, but he knew his own,
| and he'd risk his welcome I offered
| him two cents.
1--WE could make it if we took the seven
| o'clock train in the morning, and that
would bring us home when the lamps
were lit and the smell of supper met you
| at the back door, The man from North
| Dakota hoped they'd have sausage, dried
apple sauce and hot biscuits! He said
it cured his dyspepsia to think of it.
| Before l slept I wired my brother
| Jim, who lived three miles from the old
place, to meet US at the station, not let
ting the old folks know
1T was showing when We started, Dut
that only made it seem more like New
Years. 1t showed all day and our train
kept losing time; but only pitied Jim
waiting at the station. We gave up
the home supper and ate in the dining
car 1t was nine when we arrived, and
the station master, a stranger, hadn't
seen Jim! There was no hotel, but
| travelling man offered us lift to the
cross roads. The man from North Da-
kota hoped the old folks hadn't gone to
bed; l knew they had. 1t was further
| from the cross roads than thought. We
stopped talking, as we f1oundered
| through the snow. But, anyhow, was
going home for New Years!
There was no light when we turned
in, and I hoped pa had not covered the
fire too carefully. I meant to tell Jim
a few things next day, but tonight
was at home! knocked and waited for
the window to go up and to hear pas
voice when I shouted. but no sound
came I knocked again; then we took
turns knocking.

also that the dog was loose. The dog
arrived just then; he was stranger
and seemed to have a double set of teeth.
The man was a new hired hand. He
said I wasn't Ed, because the old folks
had gone to Chicago to spend New
Years with him. He backed up his
opinion with a gun which looked as big
as a howitzer in the starlight.
1.-THE man from North Dakota sug-
gested we go to Jim's. It was the long
est three miles 1 ever walked. Jim
was at home; he hadn't got my tele-
gram. His wife had gone with the old
folks to surprise me. There was nothing
to eat in the house except some cold
potatoes and jug of molasses, and the
fire was out.
''The next time I go home for New
Years I'll wait till pa writes; he'll meet
me at the station!"

PUMPS ARRIVE.
Proper Time to spry Orchards Is at
:. Present.

Several Of the spray pumps that
we're ordered by parties who intend
spraying, have been received in this
city. They will be in working order
in a few days, when the first work
will be started.
This is the proper season to begin
the work. The weather is just as it
should be and by the trimming VI
trees at this season there is little
damage done to the trees and the
spray has better chanc to 60 to the
objective point. The outfits that have
been received are owned by private
parties and as they exepct to travel the
length of the town it will not be nee
essary for every Individual who owns
an orchard or has a home surround
ed by trees to order an outfit.
The solution made for the spraying
is to be made at the Chedic paint
shop and boiled by steam pressure
which is the very best known means,
and this will render it as cheap as pos
sible so that it will not be necessary
! for private parties to steam up their
homes and otherwise put themselves
at discomfort in the endeavor to help
the movement along.
AS there is considerable work ahead
of the men who are to carry on the
work, orders should be left as early as
possible SO that every place can re
ceive the attention and care that Il
is going to receive.

THE CATTLE OUTLOOK.
Mutton Has Gone Up and Beef VII
Follow.

%
The latest quotation on the Sar |
Francisco market is to the effect that
mutton has gone up cent pound
This is encouraging news to the sheep |
men Of Nevada, who are particularly |
lucky, from the fact that the ranges
have furnished abundant feed, while
little or no hay has been fed to them. |
Nevada mutton is in demand and the |
buyers are securing the ranges for |
the fat animals Of the sagebrusn !
State. California, on the other hand,
is shy on feed. Many sheep have per-
ished for want Of feed, as the late
storm did little good, from the fact
that the weather turned cold after
the storm and retarded the growth Of
grass
Beef at the present time is quoted
! at the same rate, which is a trifle
lower than that received at the same
/ time last year. This, it is believed,
will not last, as the same condition is
existing with the cattle men of Cali
/ fornia as does with the sheep raiser.
1t is believed that within the next
few weeks catlle will go soaring, as
has the price on sheep.
In talking with one of the cattle
kings yesterday, the following was
! stated:
AT the present outlook it seems
that both cattle and sheep will reach
: very high price within month, es-
pecially should the drouth continue
in California. At the present time the
cattle men Of the other States are in
want of feed. They do not cut hay 20
the same extent that is done in New
ada as they depend on the warm rains
and storms of winter to furnish win
come and feed has grown exceedingly
scarce. The advance in mutton is all
due to the condition of the weather
in California. The weather in New
ada has been a blessing to the cattle
men of this State. In my case it is
saving Of many hundred dollars 4
day as the range cattle are able to
hustle a living, where, with heavy
winter they would be fed from the
STAG Even market cattle require less
feed this winter than in hard winter
, and all the cattle shipped from this
, State have been prime.
, J 1T is true that most Of the small
, punches of cattle have been bought
, up by the outsider, as this city alone
: furnishes many carloads every day
, as can be noted by the trains. The hea
' Wy owners and those who have beeI
prepared for an emergency, are nov
y holding on. They stand a very gooi
o chance Of seeing cattle 60 much high
!. er and it would not surprise me to SEE
them quoted higher than last winter
"Only today a couple Of California
cattle men paid me a visit. They ar
looking for a chance to buy white
range in this State They realiz'
Z that the conditions are better in New
ada than on the other side, and Their
is no great dependence given to tn
rainy season. Nevada always has fee
for her herds, and it is only when a
= extra heavy winter comes, such a
g that Of 1890, that there is any DANCE

MORE NILS.
Silver City Going Into the Reduction
Business.

Silver City at the present time is a
place Of activity there is a general re-
vival of business in that place and
more mining is being done today than
at any time in the past fifteen years.
It has developed into low grade
camp, and one that pays. Silver Hill
is one of the dividend payers and that
is but one Of the mines. 1t is heard
more Of than the rest Of the claims,
from the fact that it is on the stock
board, but there is nearly score OF
mines that are producing bullion.
With this before the miners, the mill
owners have become overstOcked with
rock, and in consequence, the new
mills are being erected at that place.
One is an eight stamp mill. The
battery coming from the Mexican mill
at Empire. Mr. Trumbill and an as
sociate are putting the mill in running
order and expect to be going in the
next thirty days. They have mill en-
ough to handle ore from their own
claim and furnish one battery for
custom rock. This mill is to be run
by electricity, and the installing II
Juice has been completed.
A little farther up another mill is
being put in running order. This is
being operated by Biggs and Warlanl
This is Bryan roller mill and has
capacity Of about five stamps. 1t. like
the other mill, is being furnished with
electricity for motive power.
The Pollard mill is being kept as
busy as stamps can make it. Custom
ores have kept the chutes congeste-
for some time and several mine own
ers are awaiting their chance to ge
quartz to the mill.
The Greeley French mill is in work
ing order, being under lease, while
there is another mill farther up thu
canyon. Silver City today is one D
the most important mining camps IL
Nevada 1t is not made as much fus
about as many other camps, as tn
ground is held by men who are work
ing it for what it is worth, and on
. for what the stock market brings
The result is that number OF loy
grade mines are producing bullion
that would not pay in a stock dea
where big salaries and many peopl
, are left to divide among. The peopi
!, are kept busy, the business men ar
making money and the little town !
the canyon Is holding its own wit

er orders. Just how much bullio
comes out of the ground up that wa
is hard to estimate. as the owne1
