10 the possibilities along this line.
Many large colonizing plans are
under way and Vegas is going to
reap the benefit. The artesian belt
is not confined to a small district
but seems to extend over a vast area
which is going to make it possible
to carry on extensive cultivation.
1T is true that it is warm down
that way, but the heat is such that
no prostrations occur Men work
in the fields without danger and the
heat is only oppressive during the
months of July and August.
The city has incorporated and
within a short time we VIII boast OF
all modern improvements, including
sewers and other sanitary necessi-
ties. We have adopted a modern
charter and one that other cities
could follow.
Las Vegas is going ahead on re-
sources OF her own. Aside from the
vast possibilities of the agricultural
fields, the section boasts of a number
OF mining properties, while the rail

RESIGNATION IS
PLACED

Charles Hirshfeld, the veteran
mining man. has resigned as Pres
iGent of the Comstock Pumping As
sociation. and from all the mines of
which he was an official. The action
of Mr.. Hirschheld caused a sensa-'
ton in mining circles. by his an
nouncement, he being one of the
most prominent operators in San
FRANCISCO. The vacancies on the di-
rectorship were filled by the election
of B. F. Shaw, A. F. Coffin, Herman
Zadig, William Bannan and Franklin
Leonard, Jr. The withdrawal of Mr..
Hirshheld will be great loss to the
Comstock, as his judgment carried
great weight and he had the utmost
confidence that bigger and richer ore
bodies would be discovered at great
er depth.

TO save you from making a bigger
fool of yourself. Sit down and hear
some plain talk. No, then, who are
we? You are Abe and am Mary.
Neither of us is educated and both of
us are plain faced. We have lived a
farm life all our years. We know
nothing of the life lived in the cities.
Our ways are different ways. Abe,
you would hardly know how to ring
doorbell, and I'm sure I'd be as awk-
ward as a COW in lady's parlor."
II say we are just as good as any
body!" shouted Abe as he wiped a
tear from his eye
Just as good to live and die. Just
as good while we stay in our own

different thing. Abe, can you think of
me, with my crude education, with my
awkward ways-with my plain face

He was silent.

Poor boy, you didn't know that they

Your looks and talk were a joke to

And you dressed up and went away
to meet one of them by moonlight.
She was just fooling you, Abe-she

But she said-she said"

and mischief to her. Why should she
love you? Why mate with you? Your
world is for you and hers for her. And
and when you found that she was just
laughing at you it was to hang your
self! Abe, there are fools among
women, but oh, the fools among men!"

ARE FOND OF OLD CUSTOMS
English People Ruled by Tradition, as
Is Shown in the Language of.
Parliament.

England has always had an affec-
ton for customs. So persistent is it
in keeping to the forms and traditions
of the past that it has been dubbed
museum of antiquities among
modern nations.
1t is somewhat odd that the Norman
French of Edward the Confessor
should still be the language, the legal
voice of parliament, but SO it is, in
way. Whenever bill has passed the
commons the clerk, before he for
wards it to the house of lords, writes
upon it, according to the ancient
usage: ".Soit baille aux seigneurs',
Net it be sent to the lords). II it is
sent from the peers to the commons
1t bears the like Endorsement: "Soit
baille aux communes" s(Let it be sent
to the commons).
Should bill pass beth houses it
needs only the royal assent to become
a law. Here the Norman-French ap-
pears again. The commons, summoned
by the usher of the black rod, are ad-
mitted to the bar of the house Of
lords to hear the statement of his
majesty's commissioners. When all
are assembled the lord chancellor
makes a sign to his assistant, who
reads the title of the bill and then
says in loud voice: LIE roi lie veult!"
CThe king wills it,. In the case of
financial bills the form is this: lie
roi remercie ses bons sujets. accepte
1eur benevolence, ct ainsi lie veult"
(The king thanks his good subjects.
accepts their faith and so Wills it,
For private bills the form is: "Soit
fait CONNIE il est desire" Uet it be
done as is desired.)' Sometimes If the
bill is of special Importance, the sane
ton of his majesty is given in person.
In such case the king. seated on the
throne at the end of the chamber,
bows his assent as the clerk reads
the title.

TRIAL MARRIAGE IN GERMANY
Ancient Custom of Mating at May
Fair Still Exists in Some
Villages.

An ancient custom of holding Nay
fair for selecting brides and BRIDE
grooms on trial still exists in some
villages of the Eifel district in Ger
many.
On the day of the fair the young
men and women who have been noti-
fled stand in groups on adjacent hill
locks, their names being inscribed on
roll in the possession of the fair
officials, who sit around table be-
tween the groups. The ages of the
young men are stated on the roll, but
not those of the girls.
Males are then called forward by
name in the order of their age, the
oldest coming first, and one of the
girls is called to meet him; if neither
objects the young woman is presented
with a wedding ring and the couple
are declared duly welded for a year
on approval.
At the end of the year they may
separate and each is free to marry
again; or, if they are not quite sure
whether they will be happy, they can
arrange W Separate lOl d udy UT TWO
before the next fair and then be we'd
ded again for another year. If q
couple remain together over the year
the marriage becomes binding for life,
or if any family is born the union ia
also valid for life.
If maiden refuses the first man
she is supposed to marry the next Of
fered to her. But this rule is not rig
idly enforced now, though formerly
the names of candidates We're taken
haphazard by the head man of the
community, who did not put up with
nonsense about maidenly coyness.
Nowadays it is generally arranged
beforehand to call together only those
couples who have been counting. The
system has worked with good results
for centuries and will probably last
some while yet, until the farming dis
tricts become crowded with factories
and towns.

The Exceptional YOUNG Man.

The exceptional young man, says
Orisoh SWEET Marden in an article in
Success magazine, is the one who
looks upon his employers interests as
he would his own, who regards his
vocation as an opportunity to make a
man of himself, an opportunity to
show his employer the stuff he is
made of, and who is always preparing
himself to fill the position above him.
The exceptional young man is the
one who never says: 81 was not paid
to do that" Il don't get salary
enough to work after hours or to take
SO much pains" He never leaves
things half done, but does everything
to finish
The exceptional young man is the
one who studies his employers bust
ness, who reads it's literature, who is
on the watch for every Improvement
which others in the same line have
adopted and which his employer has
not, who is always improving him
self during his spare time for larger
things.

Queer sites for Birds Nests.

The remarkable sites sometimes
chosen by birds for their nests are
recorded from time to time. A robin
builds in watering can, an old kettle,
or on bookshelf in library. One Of
the most remarkable, perhaps, is that
recently given in the Emu, and ap-
parently authentic. On November 10
last sheep was being shorn on the
farm of A. Burger, Telanga, Australia.
In it's wool was found a starling's
nest with one egg. A note in the Field
adds that the nest of small bird was
once found in horses tail in Cape
Colony.

Iceberas.

From the polar icetields and gla-
ciers which are always protruding
themselves into the sea great float
ing masses become detached and form
iceberg foes and drift-ice. These
bergs or mountains of ice rise some
times more than $50 feet above the
sea level From the specific gravity,
it is calculated that the volume of
an iceberg below the water is about
nine times that of the protruding
part Icebergs and foes of icefields
are often laden with pieces of rock
and masses of stone and detritus,
which they brought with them from
the coasts where they were formed,
and which they often transport
towards the equator.
