James G.. Fair, a heavy mining oper-
ator on tie Comstock, has been in town
for a day or two.

Portable house.
The Irrepressible Sweeney, the stable
man, is still alive and SAYS he is in the
field to furnish the best stock to be
found in town. One thing about
Sweeney is, that he is always in good
humor and ready to crack a joke with
anybody. His stable is on the corner Of
Buel and Clarke streets.
There seems to be some difficulty in
getting a sufficient supply Of charcoal
for the furnaces, owing to to the bad
condition Of the roads, which have been
almost impossible on account Of the
late severe weather. The furnaces need
not shut down for want Of ore. as many
thousands Of tons are lying idle on the
dumps awaiting shipment.
Passengers coming up on the stage
from Palisade yesterday morning were
somewhat surprised at the lively APP
p~earance OF the town at so early an hour.
The fact was, many of the boys who had
attended the masquerade ball last even
ing were a little "tired', and not retir.
ing to their respective beds Immediately
presented quite an animated scene
when the stage arrived.
Quite an excitement was created last
evening by the startling information
that a comet was visible in the heavens
Fearing that the predictions lately made
by some scientific ''cuss' were about to
be verified, and that the world was sure
ly coming to an end, all looked up
eagerly for said comet. The disgust was
great on discovering the fiery looking
substance to be only a Chinese kite
with q lighted lantern attached.
The Silver Lick mine on Adams Hill
is developing into q fine property. A
sh aft 60 feet deep has been sunk and
drifts run on the vein. At present it is
impossible to tell how wide the vein Of
ore is, bat it certainly shows in some
places a width OF 10 or II feet. Assays
have been made as high as sl400. but Of
course from choice pieces. Mr.. Sheen
bar, one of the owners of the property.
however, says that he has 300 or 400
tons OF ore in sight which be guarantees
to average from $3.50 to $3.50 per ton.

How TO Marx Clothinu.

The incest way to mark clothing is
to embroider ones initial ON every gar
ment The letters should be small and
can be done in solid embroidery, or,
if time be scarce, in chain stitched out
lines.
For boarding school or public laun-
dries. where the full name is essential,
make a die from ones own writing,
have it in the form of stamp, and
work the name In outlines.
Less dainty but quicker is it TO sew
on colOred names that can be bought
ready stamped by the dozen on short
tapes. These are neatly hemmed on
the edges and rarely wear off.
Quickest of all is marking with in
delble ink that does not need iron
ing. as do some of the makes TO
avoid blurring the material should be
firmly stretched and the pen clean.
This kind of marking is only for ones
most ordinary belongings.

THE CHRISTMAS TREE.
How to Decorate 1t to Get Beautiful
Effects Cheaply.


Effects Cheaply.
Decorating a Christmas tree gives
plenty of scope for artistic talent and
the display of originality. The use of
electric light bulbs OF different colors
adds much to the beauty of the tree,
but they also add to the expense, and
beautiful effects can be gained without
the expenditure of much money.
Thought and work will take the place
of money in creating Il tree that will
delight the children and will add much
to the enjoyment of grownups.
One novel effect acn be gained by
the use of twisted crystal drops, which
will look like icicles when suspended
from the tree They come in clusters
and are comparatively cheap. The
crystal drops from old fastened lamps
can he used effectively III connection
with the new ones. Stars, crescents
and diamonds cut from silver paper
and scattered lavishly over the tree
heighten the effect, aud strings of
white popcorn Topped from bough to
bough will also add to the arctic eff
feet.
Too much color should not be used
in this scheme of decoration, though
tradition demands that some holly Der
ries, mistletoe and cranberries appear
Small red and green apples if stuck
full of tiny Grape paper flags and then
suspended from the tree can be used
to good advantage, They can be fas
tened by braids of red white, blue and
green paper.
Walnuts, hickory nuts peanuts, pine
cones, etc, can be gided and then used
so they will help the decorative
scheme. Buy some small of your paint
dealer. Dissolve piece of glue in
boiling water, place a small tack in the
end of the nut and then dip it in the
glue. Then roll it in the smalt, which
can be had in gold, silver and other
metallic shades The nuts can be at
tached to the tree by means Of the
tack. They should be hung from bright
colored ribbons in places that look
bare.
A yard of tarletan, costing but few
cents, can be made into dozens of
small bags, hearts and stockings
which, when filed with bright colored
candies. are useful in decorating and
at the same time serve as presents.

How to Remove Blood Stains.

A mother whose children have rep
rehensible habit of cuttinS their fin
gers ana spotting with blood their best
frOcks has found a method of remOv-
ing blood stains. and she says that the
finest white fabrics will not be injured
by it. "If the stain is dry" she says,
''moisten it and cover it with dry
starch, patting 1t into a thick crust
and mOiStening whenever necessary.
Let this stay ON for two or three hours.
If this does not absorb all the stain
repeat the whole process. \ wet stain
should be taken out as much as pos
sible by allowing lukewarm water to
run through the part. After the stain
has been reduced in color by this meth
cd the starch may be applied as de
scribcd. No ugly stain will remain
after this treatment with starch"

HOW TO TRAIN A PUPPY.
Cara Should Be Exercised In Punish.
ing or Dog Will Be Spoiled.

ing or Dog Will Be Spoiled.
I,.f how and where and when the
puppy is punished for committing "A
crime of budding doghood and doing
what he knows is wrong is a matter
of some import to both the owner and
the puppy if he is in training, writes
Amos Burhans in Recreation.
A dog is in training at any time and
any place in which he is being taught
something that his master wants him
to fully understand. Most bird dog
puppies are never taken to the field
before they are old enough to under
stand few commands Come here"
Gle down" and go to the kenneP' are
all part of his training.
The amount dog is expected to
know depends upon the man who
owns him. Usually the more human
brains that are mixed in with his
training the fewer will be the COM
mands given the puppy to learn. Pup
pies are great deal like children
Some of the things they learn today
that are not right they will have for
gotten by tomorrow. And perhaps
there will come new bad habit that
may stick for the same length OF time
Punishment must be given with a
great degree of care. To spoil the
disposition of puppy is very easy
To punish an old dog for an offense
that was committed in the intenseness
of his work for you will spoil him for
life That old saw about the dog that
is old not being able to learn new
tricks is all mush Go to any pro
fessional trainer and he will tell you
so.
A dog is like any other animal. II
learns something all the time. 1t is
well to begin the handling of the
puppy so that a stern word or gesture
or scowl of the face will show him
that you are displeased A dog that is
naturally bold will be punished as
much by this sort of punishment as
one that is very timid. 1t is all a mat
ter of starting the training with him.
To adopt the whip at the beginning of
the breaking is not right 1t takes too
much courage out of the dog.

DO YOUR SHOPPING EARLY.
How to Lessen Your Own Troubles
and the Merchants Worries.

Shop early. The woman who shops
early is in better temper to make judi
cious selections, has more time TO lie
vote to making purchasers. Il less
rumped assortment of goods to choose
from aud. above all. is apt to receive
more effective and considerable service
from the clerks. Women are prone to
making early shopping resolutions and
are also prone to breaking them.
Really the results might be worth the
effort of a good trial.
In addition to the unitarian feature
of early shopping there is the humani-
tartan feature A New York woman
has formulated the following rules for
Christmas shopping:
"First.-Do - much as possible Of
your shopping before Dec. /.
Second. Have it all done one week
before Christmas.
Third shop early IN the day.
''Fourth.-Cary home rs many par
GELS as possible.
"Fifth.-Do not ask 10 have parcels
delivered on the day Of purchase.
"SiXth.--Do not ask to have articles
sent home ON approval
"Seventh.-Do not shop during lunch
hours. thus shortening the hour for
the clerks"
There is so much common sense In
these rules that all women might
adopt them with profit to themselves
the merchants and the clerks.
