ANCIENT BOWS.
That of the Scythians Was In the Form
 of the Letter C.

That of the Seythians Was In the Form
 of the Letter c.
 While universally used by the an- cients, the form of the bow varied with different nations. The Scythian bow was in the form of the letter c, and the bow of the Tartars, descendants of the Scythians, still keeps that shape.
 The Greek bow was not more than three or four feet in length, but so stout and stiff that it required consid- erable strength and skill to use it. It is said that the first Greek bows were made from the horns of a species of goat, the bases being united by means of a metallic band. Afterward other material was used in their manufac- ture, but they still retained their orig inal shape. These bows were too short to be of much use, and, compara- lively speaking, but small portion of the troops were armed with them.
 The Romans carried the bow to Brit ain, where it at once obtained favor and during the middle ages was ex- tensively used, forming an important element of the armies of that period.
 The English archers were said to be the finest in the world, and their skill decided the battles of Creecy, Poitiers and Agincourt. The bows used were of two kinds-the long bow and the arbalest, or 'crossbow. The arbalest was made of steel or horn and was of such strength and stiffness that it was necessary to use some mechanical ap- pliance to bend it and adjust the string. The arbalestiers carried a quiver> with fifty arrows and were placed in the van of the battle.

(Bv the Local Union)

A little rhyme we learned in childhood so often presents itself, and Is silently repeated, for it is as true now as ever. It runs thus:
 Brandy, Brandy bane of life
 Spring of tumult. source of strife; If l could half thy curses tell
 The wise would wish thee safe in hell. {"
 Since 1 have been taking our little journeys from home the last few years, we are confronted so often, yes always, in every place, with the disgusting fumes of tobacco smoke, that we have indulged in a little rhyme our selves to express. feebly. our thought in the matter.
 'Bacco, 'Bacco, Bane of smell,
 If could half thy nas'ness tell The wise would quickly lay the down And forthwith stamp thee in the ground.
 It does seem like a gigantic piece of thoughtlessness on the part of those who use tobacco to so hagrantly trespass on the rights of those who do not use it.
 They have no right to pollute the air that others have to breathe, especially that of tender little children. It is poison, and instances have been given by physicians where the delicate mechanism of women and child ren have been so badly poisoned by inhaling it m close rooms as though they. themselves, had used it. Let us be more thought full of others comfort when we begin to form habits. Whom will we hurt?

SIGNIFICANT ACTION. e

There IS a great significance to the fact that the quorum court on vester- day appropriated ST, 800 for bridge pur- poses Tn Nevada county for the next twelve months.
 The matter of convenient and safe transportation is becoming one of the most important economic questions of the day. How to get to market with merchantable produce, the quickest and surest way, is something every body who has anything to sell, serious ly considers, and how to get home with merchandise, is equally as important with every one who has anything to buy.
 Nevada county wisely voted for the 3-mill road tax at it's last election. The work being done under the new road law, and the money expended under its provisions, the present season, we believe has been entirely satisfactory to the tax payers of the cuunty. With the roads being put in good conditoin ir this manner, and an appropriation ot $7,500 year for the putting in of safe and substantial bridges, ought, if kept up for few years, give us ample high ways throughout the county for tn, moving of crops, and the inlaying oi supplies.

A SPORT BRUTALLY
BEATS LABORER

Fights on the Winnemucca streets
are of daily occurrence, and on some
occasions the principal streets Of this
town resemble more the thoroughfares
of wild and savage race than the
principal streets of civilized people.
A particularly brutal exhibition was
manifest on Bridge street today,
which passed uninterrupted, and at
this writing neither Of the partici-
pants to the occurrence have been
arrested.
A sport and a Western Pacific
laborer engaged in fight. The labor
er, so intoxicated he could hardly
walk, was soon knocked down, and
was then kicked and hammered in the
most brutal fashion. When the
fight was over the laborer's face
looked like it had been practiced on
with a mincemeat cutter, and he is
now lying out in an alley covered
with blood, and with face on him
that looks more like a chunk Of un-
cooked hamburger than human
countenance.
