Draping the Windows.

The window draperies of the din
ing room can easily make the room
breathe Of comfort and good cheer,
or of dreariness and chilliness. If
the outlook from the windows is
pleasant, by all means drape the win
dows so the landscape may be seen.
II, on the other hand. the view is I'M
pleasant, arrange the curtains so as
to exclude the scene. Cheesecloth
makes exceptionally pretty curtains
for dining room on account of its
snewy whiteness and because of its
soft, graceful folds. For summer
use there is nothing prettier and
more appropriate than plain white
curtains without inner hangings. The
curtains should be so snowy in their
Wilderness as to be cool and refresh
ing. In the fall and winter, when
the outlook is drearier. it is well to
place curtains Of warmer color to
hang inside the white ones. These
curtains may be silk or pongee or any
suitable fabric you prefer, and they
should match the tones OF the wall
coverings. For instance, the cur
tains may be pretty. dark green, or
a warm brown or ecru.

Do not throw away the rind of
lemons, for it can be utilized nicely.
Fill bottle with rectified spirit and
when using lemons cut away the yell

in the spirit. You will find this quite
as good as the essence of lemon which
you buy. Essence of orange can be

Cleaning the Sewing Machine.

To keep a sewing machine in good
condition it needs an occasional
cleaning with kerosene. Saturate the
machine with kerosene and then rub
the machine briskly for several min
utes, without thread, of course. This
will loosen all old oil and dust, which
should be wiped away with soft
cloth in machine oil.

ticeable and often they disappear of
their own accord, but sometimes they
persist for many years, often coming
out in large crops all over the face.
They are not to be considered harm
full or a disease. but many mothers
object to them seriously and are an
xious for a simple home remedy. A
harmless remedy is bathing the
freckles two or three times day with
buttermilk. The acids contained in
the buttermilk will help drive away
the freckles. However, when once
removed they are apt to return again
as soon as the child is out in hot
sun or wind. and, as it is not advisa-
BILE, and is often impossible, to keep
them indoors. the mother should not
apply the cure until the end of the
summer. Then the freckles will not

Novelty in Knitting.

An extremely pretty and delicate
novelty for those who like to knit is
a stitch which, when completed, gives
a most fascinating drawnwork effect
AS an example of this new and snowy
way of knitting take baby afghan
knit in strips:
Cast 40 stitches on a coarse steel
knitting needle with zephyr or Ger
mantown yarn. Knit in squares, five
stitches plain and five puzzled, for five
rows. Bind off when the strip is long
enough, dropping every fifth stitch.
Ravel every drop stitch down to the
end. With the embroidery needle
hemstitch each edge or take up Eve
threads at time, making the simple
hourglass drawnwork pattern.
Any simple drawnwork design can
be substituted for this pattern If de-
sired. The process is easy and the
effect is pretty and unusual. Another
effective design is to knit plain and
purl every alternate row back and
forth, and when the strip is long
enough drop two stitches in the mid
die. Ravel the end and hemstitch.

fact that the principal owners of the
y -nnemueca Water and Light ON
pany have other large interests in Win
nemucca accounts for the unwarranted
progressiveness of the company. 1t is
a perfectly safe assertion that no indi
vidual or company looking solely to
the dividends would have followed the
course as pursued by the Winnie
mucaa Water and Light company.
However, we would advise those who
have not visited the plant of the Win
Water and Light company
recently to take an hour off some wen
ing after the lights are on and see this
big gasoline engine in action. Just
outside the building there is the mighty

our purpose, and solely at our own in

of credit to that company and to Win

the big engine was installed. 1t is
not so difficult to obtain dlstlllate
as it is coal and a car load can be
rushed in without much loss of time.
Where electricity is produced with
water power, lighting companies make
large profits on the invested capital,
but where the water power is limited
and the fuel question enters in it
makes a deep cut in the percent OF
profit.
The Winnemucca Water and Light
company has put little water power to
depend upon. During some years the
water power is never sufficient to run
the plant at any time and at its best
it is only during the spring and early
summer months that the fuel expense
is cut down. For fuel alone during
the winter months the expense is about
$50a night or $500 a month.
There is no electric light plant in
the state where the fuel expense IS so
large in proportion to what it is at
this plant, so that Winnemucca is for
tunate in having IN efficient electric
lighting system in spite of thelack of
water power adjacent to the town. The

OPENING Of
THE NEVADA

Here has been gathered the latest IN
the art of f%ashioning brass and iron
and wood. so as to be the most arts
tic and pleasing to the eye, and to be
the most convenient for the special
poses for which they are intended.
Here money has been spent with a
lavish hand in order to produce some
thing greater, more luxurious than any
thing in its line in Winnemuca. This
is the ''Nevada.' the new saloon and
cafe. lust installed by Messrs G. v.
Drake and II X. Davis and to be open
ed first for business after next Sat
urday night, April 4th.
Before opening for business the pro-
prietors have set aside next Saturday
evening as the opening night, and have
designated certain hours on that even
ing when the ladies of Winnemueca
ire cordially invited to visit the Ne
vada and inspect the furnishings and
things. From eight to eleven the
doors will be closed to men unless
they are acting as escorts for the
ladies'. The invitation will doubtless
be accepted by many of the ladies
of W~innemucca. They will thus be
given an opportunity to see what kind
of a place that has such an attraction
for their husbands, sweethearts and
brothers. And they will also be gwen
an opportunity to see the interior deco
rations which are without doubt the
finest in their line ever brought to
Winnemucca and a place of business,
which, for its, size, is the finest in the
state of Nevada.
At the "Nevada' money has not
been spared in order to secure the
artistic fittings, and one is impressed
with the color harmony whicf char
acterizes the interior decorations. The
rooms are furnished in a light shade
of green. with the ceiling to match,
while here and there along the walls
are beautiful pictures. one in parti-
cular being a work of art and that an
oil painting of a scene in San Fran
cisco bay.
The brass electric chandeliers with
numerous globes will serve to light the
saloon while individual light are sup
piled to light each table in the res
taurant, which is divided off into sep
arate departments for the ladies and
men The bar is the most striking
feature of the Nevada Since be-
ing received it has been repolished. It
is a piece of beautiful and artistic fur
niture.
The experience of Drake and Davis
in catering to the men in the liquid
refreshment line has bsen most sue
cessful. They formerly were leasers
of the Elite saloon, and during five
months there they built up a large and
profit paying business which they sold
out at a handsome figure. Into this
new business they have invested a
comfortable fortune, backing their con
fidence of success with good hard cash.

crude form of gasoline, and during the
long nights of the winter months the
company burns almost $50 gallons of
distillate in one night.
This engine is modelled after the
general plan of all of the Doak gas
engines. A feature of these engines
and one in which they excel all other
makes is the manner in which the
gasoline and air are mixed so as to
produce the right form of gas, which
will explode on coming in contact with
the electric spark in the explosion
chamber.

At the close of each day in Whine
/. mucca, after the sun has gone down,
and the shades of night begin to
gather about the town, a sound of
%rythmetic beats is heard from the
plant of the Winnemueca Water and
Light company which is situated about
one mile east of the city Because of
the distance, the obnoxious nature
which would characterize these sounds
were they closer, is removed, and they
are heard only dimly, but still dis
tinctly if the ear is strained to catch
them. One familiar with the exhausts
OF engines will detect the regularity
with which these sounds or beats occur
in quadruple measure, and will tell you
that it is the running of a four-cylin-
der gasoline engine. IT is the power of
this engine which produces the lights
for Winnemucca, and simultaneously
with the beginning of these rythmetic
beats. the numerous ineandescent
globes over the city radiate with light.

engines.
The total cost of installing the en-
CINE was $4,000. With this engine the
company now has three forms of pow
er with which to produce electricity,
and it is hara to conceive Of a condi-
tion of affairs when the town would
be in darkness because o. the lack of
fuel to produce power. In a time of
scarcity of coal the gasoline engine can
be used and in a time of the scarcity
of gasoline, the steam engine can be
run and there is always a certain
amount of water power, which, in it's
elf, however, at it's best is hardly suf-
ficient to run the plant and produce
the AMOUNT of electricity demanded
by the rapidly growing city of Win
II
During the scarcity of coal two years
ago the light company was seriously
hampered, and it was not possible to
furnish electric lights at all times and
when they were needed. 1t was to
provide for such a contingency that
