You are made of what you are" Fortunatel-- the princess makes 1t plain that she does not live exclusively on air, but thickens 1t a trihe. Nature equipped the human ani- nal with teeth and an intestinal duct and probably intended them for some purpose. It is possible that the facial oriace has some use other than tAe emitting of food theories, and, as the lady does not specifically deny this gen. erally accepted view, 1t Is presumed that she gives 1t at least half-hearted assent. A Paris doctor has discovered that food should be colored. This he does on the theory that violet, purple and other tints kill the microbes. If the soups man absorbs are resplen- dent in rainbow hues, the pestiferous germs turn up their toes forthwith.

A Gypsy Test of Honesty.

Gypsies are rogues, and steal even from one another. When one of them is deputed by the chief to take up a collec- ton from visitors to their camp, sim pie method is employed to check dis honesty. The collector is given a plate to hold in his right hand, and live fly, which he has to keep imprisoned in his left.

and Textiles.

r. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review
of trade says:
Business was retarded by the
storms, which interrupted Geographic
communications. but the loss was
quickly recovered, and retail trade re-
sponded to the lower temperature.
while u large jobbing distribution of
holiday goods occurred. Commercial
reports are encouraging. and, on the
whole. conditions steadily improve.
Confidence is increasing, particularly
in the steel and textile industries, and
building operations are very vigorous
for the season, while mercantile col
lections are more prompt. Farm sta
pies are slightly cheaper in response
TO splendid dispatches from agricul-
tural centers. and several freight block

grain and merchandise. Railway earn

NEW RULES ON BASKETBALL
Changed Conditions For Championship
Contests.

Up TO the present the basketball
rules have been amended each season
by additions and omissions in various
places. This year, however, the rules
have been rearranged and many rules
bear different numbers and are not
found in the same successive order.
An advantage in the new rule book
also is that at the top of the page is
the page, so that it is no longer neces-
indicated the rule number printed on
that page, SO that it is no longer ne
cessary TO turn back or forth to ascer-
tain which rule is being read.
The first new feature is that the
rules became effective Nov. /, 1904.
This settled fixed time for everywhere
and did not leave it open for teams to
play old Jules because they did not
have the new book and there is moth
ing in the rules saying when they be-
come effective In referring to the
basket, the word basket" is not used
in contradiction to goal
The minimum size of playing space
(2,400 square feet is omitted in rule l.
section /. Rule 5, section 1, requires
a background of wood at least three
quarters of an inch thick for the bas-
kets. Screens are no longer permitted.
The paying of the officials expenses in
serial championship games is no longer
| mandatory.
An important change in rule II, sec
| ton 10. prohibits more than one player
of each team from tackling the ball al
the same time. A ''dribble" is now
only counted such when the player ad
| vances more than two steps while roll

from foul line" thus making 1t pos
sible to secure four points on this one
play. If while being fouled the player
throws the goal, two points are scored,
one point is awarded by the referee,
and the player is allowed an additional
free throw for the foul giving him an
opportunity of scoring one point more
if he throws the foul goal.
Under the old rules if a player threw
for goal from outside and missed the
basket the ball went TO the center,
while under the new rules the ball con-
tinues to play.
Under rule u, section i and q, the
referee is required TO promptly dis
qualify any player using profane or
abusive language.

case where he simply had 10 do it. One
member of the party offered a sugges-

agreed to walk home with Bill if he

One of the men stubbed his toe in try

never told his friends whether his wife

A FEW PLAIN WORDS.

Under this caption the Reno Jour
nal has the following:
In order that the political forces
opposed to the Republican party may
triumph in Nevada at the November
election there must be Complete and
harmonious fusion. There can be no
doubt that such is the sentiment OF
Democrats and Silver Party men gen
orally throughout the State. From
every quarter comes the assurance
that the members Of the two organ
izations are determined to act TO-
gether and are ready to make conces-
sions to reach that end.
There is, however. here and there
a note of discord. Within the last
week or two whisperings have becn
heard that with certain individuals as
Stunning to have standing and influence
in fusion circles, a particular candi-
date must be recognized and nominal
ed at Winnemucca, or there will be no
fusion The number of persons in
duging in such is too smali to give
them much Importance and nothing
can be better assured that the moment
such a threat is made openly the can
didate on whose behalf it is made is a
defeated man. The success Of fusion
principles is the all essential thing.
The personnel of the candidates is
purely secondary. The Journal has
its preference among the candidates
but it does not make the nomination
of its favorites a condition for lis
support of fusion, the principles of
the Democratic and Silver Parties
when united, and the candidates who
are nominated The friends of other
candidates should be equally faithful
and fair.
The above is fully endorsed by the
Appeal and the principle that the sue
ces of the party is paramount to the
interests of the Individual will be en-
dorsed by every Fusion paper in The
State.
We think however that the Journal
should speak more plainly and say
who the candidate is whose individual
success is considered greater than the
interest of the party.
This note of discord is made by i'll
advised friends of Judge Belknap.
We make this statement advisidly
from the fact that a few days ago one
of his most strenuous supporters stat
ed to the writer that if he was not
nominated at Winnemucca that he
would be run as an Independent can
didate.
Now the Appeal does not believe
for a moment that Judge Belknap has
ever authorized any of his supporters
to make such an impolitic declaratio!
as'the above, a declaration that does

pounds Of energy and 1t lies with man to direct that
energy to useful work. In the great volume Of
water that passes the more conspicuous of our
American falls, we have enough energy to supply
all the heat, light and power OF the world.
To be more specific, the known available energy
in waterfalls in the United States exceeds two han
dred million horsepower. The most conspicuous Of
these is Niagara with foui million horsepower.
Again, the falls at Minneapolis, Des Moines and
Rock Island are capable OF developing over seven
million more. The falls Of South America, Europe,
Asia, and Africa in no wise inferior to those Of
our own country, and possess potential energy
sufficient to supply al demands. From the preced.
ing, one readily sees that we have abundant power
in all regions Of rainfall. In other places We may
use the sun energy more directly. The feasibility
Of this is evident when consider the facts OF the
case.
The total amount of heat given out by the sun is
80 enormous that figures carry conception Of it.
Possibly the best way to conceive of is to compare
it with the heat given out by burning coal. The
