Miss Sulphide's Letter
To Cousin Lucille
A Study Of Ely and Its People by
a Member Of Our Staff Whose
Identity You Must Guess.
MY DEAR LuCILLE;

MY DEAR LUCILLE;
Promises were made to be kept
so here | am again. An i'm
portant event has taken place in
the history of Ely. For the first
time in the thirty years of it's ex-
istence, this morning a bell rang
out from a real, genuine church
steeple. Although dance halls
have Aourished in plenty, the
people have not felt able, here
tofore, to build churches or to
support mali of God-nor often
had one, even to bury the dead
or to perform their marriage
rites.
Please do not think, however,
that these same people are worse
than those to be found in other
places where many churches
grow. On the contrary, it would
be hard to find kinder hearts or,
upon the whole, a better popu-
lation, even though, on the face
of the facts, they could hardly be
called religious.
You will ask how could Judge
OF such matters after little more
than a weeks residence among
them? But sometimes week is
a long while in life's history
and much may be discovered in
less time.
The summer sun wraps us 10y
ingly about this Sunday morn.

Nev ada certainly has bright
future before her. and her path
way will be rose lined for the
next five years. Every old min
ing camp in the State is reviving
and some of them are now boom
ing while others have awakened
and are attracting more attention
than ever. That is true of the
old camp of Austin, of Tuscan
ora, of Eureka, and in fact
every district which was down
and apparently out with the de-
monetization of silver. Fair
view, Westgate, and Sand
Springs, Churchill, Olinhgouse,
Dogskin and the old Washoe dis
trict of Washoe county; Tono-
pah, in Nye, Goldtield, Bullfrog,
Manhattan, in Esmera Ida, Dun
Glen, Winnemucca mountain,
Unionville and Kennedy, in
Humboldt, are all in the swim of
prosperity now and will grow
brighter with time. In fact
every section of Nevada is
prominent in mining circles.
Agriculturally Nevada is all
right, too. With the completion
of the government reclamation
work in Churchill. the out
flow of water will revolu.
tionize the State for the farmer.
The people of the State who
have lived all the years that have
gone and never lost faith are
certainly to be congratulated on
the present prosperous outlook.

Bfsmarck's Stratagem.

While Bismarck was living at Frank
fort, early in his career, he was one
day at a public table with a friend,
when two young ladies who sat oppo-
site began talking to each other in the
Lettish language. From their manner
it was evident to Bismarck that they
were talking about him. 1t happened
that he had once made visit to Cour-
land, one Of the Baltic provinces, and
had picked up a few Lettish phrases.
When the ladies had talked and laugh
ed for some time he whispered to his
companion:
1.-THE moment 1 say something to you
in an unintelligible tongue take key
from your pocket and hand it to me-"
The young ladies kept on, and sud-
denly Bismarck said in an unconcern-
ed tone to his friend:
''Dohd man to aZlek.''
The second man at once produced
key. The young ladies from Courland
looked at their opposite neighbors, then
at each other and, blushing violently,
rose and left the room.

Place to Which He Returns With His
Savings to End His Days.
1t is a popularity of Paris, which ev-
cry visitor who knows enough French
to tell one dialect from another must
have noticed, that nearly all Paris cab
men come from the same part of the
country. The same thing is true of
coal merchants and of dealers in roast
ed chestnutS, who come from Au-
vergne; of the goatherds, who hawk
their milk about the streets, who are
Breton peasants, and of many other
trades.
The cab drivers land is probably lit
tie known TO Englishnen. 1t is down
in the Aveyron, and RodcZ is its CAPT
tai, tiny village. where the worst Ian
guage and the best hearts in all France
are to be found. The eldest of each
family in Rodez takes the land and the
paternaI cottage The old folks live
with him until their death, and the
younger sons go to Paris and drive
cabs.
For years they drive about IN all
weathers, scraping together sou by SOD
until they have garnered enough to go
home and pay for their board and lodg
ing for the remainder of their days.
They go with the elder brother to a
notary on the first day of their return

bound to keep them for the remainder

their savings.-London Standard.

THE BACK WAY.
Balzae's Avenue of Escape From His
Creditors.


In the year 1S4S or thereabout, be,
ing worried by duns in Paris. Balzac
took lodgings in Passy, then a village
in the environs, at Il house in the Rue
Basse. There is little remarkable
about the fErnt Of the house. 1t is just
q plain, white, two stored French
dwelling of hundred years ago'o of
today for tina: matter.
But at the back is q garden and at
the bottom of the garden is q doorway
leading into one of the oldest lanes IN
the world, from the look of it. Truly
this ruelle, with its cfumbling walls of
stone and plaster, it's ivy and its shade
Of overhaDging trees, is as happily de
void of suggestions of modern ''iIn-
provements'' as anything to be found
within the girdle of the Notifications.
By means of this byway Balzac,
when insistent voices from within the
house reached his ears as be worked
in his little pavilion at the end of the
garden, could avoid the unpleasantness
Of an interview with any holder of the
overdue bills which throughout his life
were the only tangible results of his
experiments as printer and type
founder
1t needs but little Imagination to see
him hurry off down the lane, hatless
and in slippers, to await events, while
he dreams of exploiting the jewels OF
the Golconda or the silver mines of the
new world.-W II. Helm in Critic.

No treatment for bruises is more
prompt and efficacious than fomenta-
lions as hot as can be borne. Firm
compression Immediately over the in
jured place will often prevent discolor-
alton, but the hot application will have
the same effect. The sooner the heat
can be applied the better. Alternate
applications of heat and cold are very
effective. For all bruises, except those
on the head, heat is the remedy, but for
severe blows on the head cold is doubf-
less better. lamentations may be used
at intervals to lessen the soreness, but
should not be continued more than five
