STATE CAPITOL TOO SMALL

The capitol of the State of Ne
vada is far too small to house the
many officers that have become
necessary for the welfare of the
state and as a consequence a number
of them will have to vacate to
make room for the legislature
which will soon convene.
Quarters have been found for
the Railroad Commission in ne
Vieria building the Park Thea re
and the Commission will move there
at, once.
Offices adjacent to the capitol
will have to be found for the State
Auditor. Mining Inspector and
State Banking Commission as the
Offices now used by these officers
will be Leedeed during the
legislature.
1T means that he coming legis-
lature will have to take steps to
enlarge the capitol as it is far too
small for the needs of the state.
The Assembly and Senate chambers
are far too small for the meetings

HISTORIC TEXAS POST.
Where the Experiment Was Made
With Camels For Crossing Desert.

The destruction by fire of Camp
Verde on the morning of March 26 re-
moved from Southwestern Texas a
landmark of more than passing inter-
est to many people, not only in this
section, but in various parts of the
United States.
The old house, located on Verde
Creek, eight miles from Centre Point
and thirteen from Kerrville, was the
last remaining building of Camp
Verde military post. 1t was built in
1857 and was originally the officers
quarters of the garrison. Construct
ed of concrete. with walls two feet
thick, and all the finishing lumber
freighted by OK wagon from Indian
ola, the. nearest shipping port at that
time, the building cost the Govern
ment $4,000.
Camp Verde post was established
as station from which experiments
could be made in using camels to
cross the desert to California. In
1857 a consignment of forty camels
was brought from Asia Minor and
Supply to the Texas coast and event.
ually to Camp Verde. Twelve Amer
ican camel drivers accompanied them
and a caravan master. To the latter
the Government had guaranteed o
salary of 500 a month for the re-
mainder of his life, and he was still
drawing it up to few years ago and
may be even now.
A large caravansary was built for
the accommodation of the camels and
a well dug and fitted up with SWEEP
for drawing water after the ancient
Egyptian fashion. Traces of both the
corral and we'll are still in evidence
The experiment, however, proved i'm.
practical, and while the camels were
kept there eleven years, no use was
made of them, and in 1868 they were
sold and sent to Mexico and Califor.
mia.
Many United States prisoners of
war were kept at Camp Verde by the
Confederates until their exchange
could be effected. During its occu-
patton by Federal troops many distin-
guished visitors had been entertained
there, General Robert E. Lee and Jos.
E. Johnston as Lieutenant-Colone
being among these. Following the
war the post was again occupied by
United States troops until 1870, when
it was formally evacuated. Later
company of State Rangers were sta
toned there, but eventually it was
abandoned altogether and became a
stopping place for any wayfarer who
cared to seek shelter in passing by.
The hospital. barracks. stables and
other buildings. by pillages and fire,
were gradually destroyed and obliter-
ated
In 1875 Camp Verde became the
property of Judge John A. Bonnell, OF
Ohio in the possession of whose fam
lily 1t has since remained.
The walls withstood the fierce on
slaught of fame and rise above the
ruins, but old Camp Verde is no more.

spread of the disease through the en-

These hog houses are made just
large enough for one SOW to farrow
in, seven by six feet and five and one
half feet high is a good size; such a
house will cost between four and five
dollars. They should be built on run
ners, so that they can be moved about
when desired.
Last spring we had sows to far"ow
about the middle of March in some
of these colony houses. The weather
was cold, but by using plenty of good
bedding and hanging lantern from
the peak we were able to save high

In the early spring as soon as the

a horse to this chain or rope and movel

Purebred Sheep.

The Shepherds Journal calls atten-
tion to the fact that the purebred
sheep industry is rapidly moving to
Western States. 1t says that from
present movements it is apparent that
within the next few years the sheep
industry of this country will be to us
what the sheep industry of Great
Britain is to the British fiockmaster.
We are going to see a remarkable
evolution in our purebred sheep in
dustry inside of another decade, and
it is safe to say that the West will in
future produce just as good material
as the East has produced in the past
But this should not alarm Eastern
breeders or English breeders, for it
will mean more business and bigger
prices for their best stock as compe-
tition will always be keen for good
stud stock. We are fast waking up
to the Importance of good sires, care
full selection, mating, breeding and
feeding, and the time has come when
the emasculating knife should be used
vigorously, as by its use the quality
of our flocks will be enhanced and
prices will, naturally, increase in pro-
portion to the improvement in quail
ity.

+ Girl, Eleven, Telegraph Operator.

wears old, but she can dispatch trains
and operate the telegraph key Just as
cleverly as her foster father. who has
been in the business for more than a
score of years. She is the best train
dispatcher along the line" said her
foster father, George Moore. of Cab
bettsville, Ga. frankie passes much
of her spare time with her father
every day. Telegraphy provides as
much amusement for her as her dolls.
She learned telegraphy when she was
six years old, and her proficiency has
been increasing ever since. Often she
sends messages as her father stands
at her elbow and watches carefully
that no slip occurs. She never has
made a mistake, and Moore says she
is perfectly reliable, but he never lets
her send a message unless he is at
hand to oversee her work. The Off
cials of the railroad know frankie
and they never make an inspection
trip without stopping to call on her
and inquire as to her progress both as
a telegrapher and as a gardener

A. to Cooling Houses.

Scientifically, refrigeration, even
down to the poir. sf absolute zero. is
as practicable as Cs;orification, and
demand for "anti-stoves' would be
sure to put a dozen kinds on the mar
ket the moment it was made known.
Though most Of us know summer
heat to be no more unavoidable than
winter cold, we have not yet escaped
from the old habit of accepting 1t as
something TO be endured without any
real effort at relief. Foreigners are
inclined to jeer at Americans Tor
making as much use of ice as We do.
but though we cool our food and our
drinks, very few of us have yet taken
the next and very natural step OF
cooling our houses, shops and Offices.
Whenever we choose the thing can
be done. 1t will cost something. but
probably it would pay in increase OF
health as well as OF comfort. The
so-called temperate zone has a cli-
mate which consists of weather alter
nately tropic and arctic. and though
New York never gets as cold as
Greenland sometimes does, it has
many a day hotter than any known
to the West Indians. -- New York

he will give 1t to you. The dimensions
of a cracker box are, twenty-four
inches long and eighteen wide and the

tom of the box. then take out one end,
and saw a strip two inches wide and
nail this across the end at the top,
then nail one the same size just in
side Of this one and leave half inch
space between them. Then saw an
other two inch strip and nail it across
the bottom so that it will be edge
ways, and put this one eighteen
inches from the back, thus making a
square that will be eighteen inches
This will be for the nest. AS l said

Most people who do much writing

five shillings. so that it would make

Another real Improvement is a new
kind of stamp-damper, costing only
one shilling and twopence. We all
know the old kind, with a roll of ma
terial in tiny pond of water, which.
il not dry, was horribly sticky, and
accumulated dust, besides messing
the fingers when one tried to moisten
the stamp on its wobbly surface.
The new damper consists of a tiny
plated well. like a small inkstaEd, to

of absorbent material. which is per-
petually damp from the we'll, and can
be rubbed over the back OF the stamp,
damping it beautifully.-H Chat.

Suggestions For Mourning.

Simple black will be correct for
mourning for a sister-ln-law. Only
blood relations affect conventional
mourning.
You should confine yourself to dull
materials, such as voile, Panama,
plain black net dull wool batiste,
thin, dull surah. serge, dull chiffon
taffeta and crepe de Chine. Fabrics
that are not appropriate for mourn
ing garments are brilliantine, silks
that show bright, glittering surface
and laces of all kinds. Suitable trim
mings are braids, dull ribbon, faggot-
ing. plain black net. folds OF dull silk
and dull passementerie.
In millinery such straws as dull
chip and dull finished hemp may be
worn; also frames covered with net.
dull soft silk and dull gauze.
The trimmings may be black flow
ers tho yellow centresl. duh black
ribbon, large bows OF net. also black
wings. Moire and velvet are not

When Brinslee had felt the web of

a message had gone from his Office to
his old home in Lindenlea: Send me
a spray of lilac from the white bush

The flower had arrived and been
sent on its silent mission to Edward
Brewster, and the reinstatement

had practiced.

Don'ts For Stout Women.

The stout woman must not
slump" Her one safeguard is an
erect carriage-head up, chest up, alb
domen in. This wards off that fieshy
back.
Nor must she permit herself to re-
lax. Negligees. comfort, and down
at-the heel attire are not for her. She
should keep trim, though she nearly
passes away with heat.
Sh must watch her manners, par
ticularly her table manners. She
may not take liberties with her ell
bows, lop over the table, or eat care
lessly. Daintiness is essential If she
would not be repulsive.
The stout woman must train her
self to light walking. Nothing shows
her weight like dragging her feet and
dumping heavily.
She must discriminate in styles.
Put her in bicorne hat, peasant
drapery, and chantecler colorings.
and she need not be surprised at crit
icism.
She must learn to take life quiet
ly. Excitement. rushing, and temper
are conducive to apoplexy and do not
improve looks. The red-faced stout
woman. looking ready for apoplexy,
is not a pleasing vision.
She must be dignified. 1t moves
the onlooker to tears to see the stout
full of airs, graces, and kittenish coy
ness. Her dignity should not inter
fere with jollity; the hearty laugh is
a hallmark of avoirdupois.
She must learn to toy with food
Fasting is not healthful, banting is a
trial to the soul, but greediness In
he stout is as unpleasant as 1t is
neshmaking.
Beyond all, she must wear good
corsets and learn how to put them
on. 1t makes just the difference be
tween mountains of flesh and trim
stylish figure, trifie too large. bui
not repellent.-New York Times.
