When washing a chiffon or net veil,

the veil to the bedspread to dry. 1t
must be pinned firmly at each corner,
and at as many places in between as
may be needed to keep it perfectly tight
and smooth. When dried in this way
the veil will require no ironing.

Get yard and quarter of good
gingham, cut off enough for narrow
band to go around the waist, hem one
end of the cloth, and turn up half way
to form the pockets; stitch up the mid

other end and sew on the band You
may have it button on the side or in the
back; make it large enough so you can
put it on outside your sweater when
hanging your clothes. An apron to hold
is much more convenient than
a basket, as it saves STOPPING so many
times, which is tiresome.

 CARSON CITY. Nev. Dec, 24.-One of the stoYmiest sessions of the Nev- ada legislature is likely when that body ccnveaes here for a 6o-day ses- sion on January 16. The storm cen ters are expected are expected to be proposed legislation changing exist ing divorce and gambling laws and a proposition to make the state bone dry" Heated de5ate is the more likely because the house is democratic. while the senate is controlled by the republicans
 Good roads legislation and a pro posal fostered b1 the Nevada State Ear Association. to inaugurate the short ballot system. are other 1egls- lative features that will cause con- tests in both houses, The short ballot measure vii have the support of Governor Emmet D. Boyle. who advo- cated it in his message to the last legislature.
 The proposal to change the divorce laws to make a years residence neces- sary instead of the present six months probably will supply the material for the longest and Stormiest contest of the session. An initiative petition on this failed recently because of a lack of sufficient Voters signing it.
 \ strong fight for "bone-dry pro hihition already has been started through the filing of an initiative petition In case the legislature pass os the proposed statute i: will go on the ballot at the next general election.
 Efforts probably vii be made to re- store the direct primary system. al though friends ot the present conven- ton system are rvepared to make every possible move fer it's retention. with some slight modified ticns.
 The gambling fight likely will cen fer about a proposal to prohibit all forms of games of chance in the state.

ODD NORTH ENGLISH DIALECT The Counting of Sheep Required Nu-
 morals Up to "Boomfit"

A strange set of numerals was used by the elder generation of farmers in one of our northern dales. especially for counting sheep, and the procedure was as follows:
 A gap was made in the wall just wide enough to admit one sheep at time, and as the sheep were driven through the farmer counted them. making notch in his stick at every fifteen.
 Theoretically the numerals sound like "yann, tame. tether, mother, pip, sax sane, caterer wheeler dick, yann- -er- dick. tane-er- dick, teth dick, me ther- er-dick, boomfit"
 "Boomerfit" was fifteen, and so a notch was made in the stick, and the strange chant began all over again. From the London Chronicle.

Of great new strikes and disclosures of rich ores. He also brought with him, swinging from that good right shoui der some canvas bags, heavy with samples. Concrete evidence of the value of holdings in the Gunsite dis trict. George says assays run high, so high it is almost beyond belief.
 Ajo had net as yet been captured by the Fillistas up to the time the King of prospectors'' had departed from that muchly frightened region although he stated that the inhabit ants were hourly expecting the ghost of the much deceased bandit to de- scenG upon them with all his phantom ,ands Savers maintained that should the Mexicans capture the village be- fore Christmas it would indeed be most TeXing as it would break his intended feast at home necessitating ais presence at the front to drive the presumptious outlaws forth again.

The Old Gunsite dis trict, sect Of famous mine in the days gone by, the Gunsite from which millions were taken in silver ores in past decades has re-awakened. to the call of new mining era. Recent developments have shown the pres ence of high grade bodies of silver and copper ores in many places about the GuTsite.

 Sayers has 19 claims lying abou. >on all sides of the old Gunsite. He also has options upon 21 more claims belonging to Griffen and Johnson in the same vicinity. and upon three cla inns belonging to Jim Coyle, thus with these 42 claims he has the old l Guasite mine completely surrounded. | A circle of claims about a high grade 1 producer which at the present day l has thousands of tons of good mill 1 ing ore lying upon it's dumps.
