saying is a man is a fool or a physician at forty Certainly an experience of over half a life time should teach a man at least enough of the laws of nature to tect himself from his own peculiar weaknesses It is at once extra- ordinary and shameful that the young are not drilled more carefully ill the laws of hygiene The idea that whatever tastes good is healthy is so silly that people who have given the least thought to the ations of digestion and assimilation would be ashamed to be thought guilty of believing it Au article of food may please the palate and sour the stomach or it may be adapted to both and disagree with the liver If over work or bad food reduces a body so neuralgia dyspepsia or sets in the first thing is to rush to a doctor or buy a lot of ent medicines If an ulcer appears the doctor says put on a salve The aore disappears but the poison that made it is not removed from the blood If It is a he pre- scribes a snuff ami the discharge stops Where does the poison go Into the blood The blood is rushing to every part of the body and all the time trying to throw off the poison If the man would take a bath it might go off through the pores but the chances are he will try to relieve his headache by some other kind of patent medicine The true remedy is to stop all worry don't over work the mind eat good food wash the skin and let or twelve thousand yean There la nothing to show that the elephant has not roamed Here within a shorter time and the dog deer and bird tracks may belong to any period Scientists agree with Mr Havenor that this basin was under water during the carboniferous age and for that reason aay we will never find coal In Nevada but Prof Le Conte believes that the basin was above water during the paleozoic age and then sank down beneath the tea and remained there during the Jurassic and and he be- the tracks were made when it was up first perhaps in the cene or glacial period There is one thing which no one seems to have taken into con- sideration There is a peat bog in front of the quarry on the north which came right up to the edge of the quarry A tod baa gone down sixty feet right at the prison wall Part pf the prison was built on it and when the prison walls were laid they were unstable and a good many cords of wood and lumber were thrown in to make a tion It is not easy to explain how a sandstone bluff seventy-five feet high could be built upon the bank of a shallow lake while it would be the natural result of the river ning by it A A somewhat startling theory of the origin of scarlet fever is pounded by Dr 3 C Peters a prominent and Influential cian of New York city At a Ing of the Columbian Veterinary College lately Dr Peters advanced the hypothesis that the scarlet fever originates among horses and that each case of this disease may be ul- traced to these animals The facts and data to fortify the theory are for- and will to convince inquirers Should this discovery be amply verified the time may come when equine virus must be used for purposes of inoculation and the scourge of childhood may be averted as the smallpox mow is by skillful physicians and surgeons THEIlt A Walker the nature have a chance The gia dyspepsia headache salt rheum ami all that will go Dr Dio Lewis says the true treatment is as Gat a dish of oat meal one baked potato and one slice of bread for breakfast a piece of roast beef as Urge as your hand with one potato and one slice of bread for dinner ing for supper and go to bed early Sleep if possible half an hour bo- fore dinner Drink nothing with your nor immediately after Drink cold water on rising and Ing to bed and before meals if de- Bired Some weak stomachs need these draughts hot instead of cold Live four to six hours a day out- doors Bathe frequently and rub the akin hard with hair gloves every night In less than a week one handkerchief will do you and yet yon haven't touched medicine to your nose TO Dr efficient and enthusiastic head of the Boston of Technology la reported to be doing excellent work in the way of inducing many of the boys of that city to become The tendency of hoys generally In this country especially during the last 25 has been in favor of adopting one or the other of what is learned professions and the result already reached the exception of the clergy the learned professions are all overcrowded and the law and medicine which in the country's earlier days were broad straight roads to honor and wealth are no longer so it is only in ex- cases that they are not the narrowest roughest and longest roads of all to fame or riches They are filled to ing with young men of fair ability struggling desperately for the bare necessaries of life But the places which technically educated should fill are generally empty for mechanics is not con- a profession and our boys have preferred failure in a profession The Marquis of Salisbury ing at a banquet of the Carlton club The defeat of Hicks Pascha must end all thoughts of the withdrawal of British troops from Egypt French papers ex- press the opinion that the disaster will lead to a permanent English occupation of The French Chamber of ties discussed the estimates for warship and the extreme left attacked the attitude of the clergy and demanded a separation of church and State Nevada has been without a ernor or little for two months and has succeeded In getting along just as well as though both those dignitaries had been at their post of duty It Is believed that a ent of the London Graphic who accompanied Hicks Pasha was killed Silver Carson pondent predicts a verdict for the Northern Belle In the famous auit THE The Energy or mature 4 Displayed Very few places indeed have the advantages possessed by Reno in the immense scale on which the scenery in planned anc 110 one feature is more beautiful and interesting than the storms that sweep across from the Pacific and become tangled in the peaks and ranges It would make a poet of a Piute to study the vast pictures that spread themselves on the canvas of the sky In varying beauty and grandeur The Sierra Nevada range lies only a few miles vest of us and from foundation to ridge pole every line is visible It stretches north and south IN MAGNIFICENCE And shoots up ragged peaks at Mount Rose Tallac and Job's peak When California is under a cloud some of the vapor is almost certain to be blown across but not always in sufficient quantities to make a storm In very many cases it bangs in shapes around the mountain tops and n others it stretches off to the east in every conceivable variety ef color and shape When a light mist creeps down the mountain side it often follows the deep canyons ing the ridges bare It is easy to imagine that some huge cauldron full of candy bad been emptied over the summit and was slowly rolling towards the valley It would not be a bad place for Santa Claus to make his preparations for mas At other times great walls of white pile silently one on top of the other and finally break and tumble down the eastern slope It is only once or twice a year that THB STORM KINO Really rouses himself to a fury and then the bierra is a sight Black bunches of clouds W M Havenor who la a man of wide reading and of no mean ural intelligence has been looking over the Carson quarry and he doesn't believe the sandstone la of a very old formation He points to the absence of coal as evidence that this basin was under water until a comparatively recent period He bad some of the rock analyzed and finds that it 84.4 carb of calcium 6.2 carb of 3.1 iron 3.2 moisture 3.1 It is calcareous rock and might easily have been hardened in a abort time if the supply was thrown iu There are different ways in this could have been done The Carson river may have run here once as Mr Havenor flu or the whole basin may have risen and lake bed have been drained with the rest of the country In any case there is considerable reason to believe that the tracks date back to to success In the workshop If Dr Walker or any other teacher can convince them that mechanics ia a certain road to prosperity and can our boys to take to it be is one of the greatest of public Mechanics is just such a road In this country which is teeming with all sorts of material to be It is the highest education that is required for the proper development of this great mass of natural wealth and the mechanics who have that sort of education will for many years find the way to success an easy one Such a mechanic need not work with his hands but with bis brains plan schemes Invent and improve machines manufactories mines furnaces and forges and all that resulta through labor from them learned must long to be in America the most needed because the most useful of its citizens That is inevitable when there ia so much mechanical work to be planned and done In 50 years when the population of the United States shall have be- come the young man will have to hunt far for a place to grow up with the country The struggle for a living will then be a serious one It therefore behoves young men to look about them and A New Industry The Verdi Planing Mill Company are driving a

Hay is held at per ton Tint Buny Farmer Out at Lovelock farmers are plowing and otherwise preparing for large crops next season and eral of them will try the ment of raising crops without ir- rigation and if they succeed with the present reduced rates on grainy they can then raise it with a profit BH the cost of irrigation amounts to considerable The Ontlook In the IHnat Stockmen are holding beef cattle at rents now notwithstanding that there la quite a brisk demand for cattle to feed and it seems to be a prevailing opinion among men that butchers below will have to pay at least 81 cents for Nevada beef before Spring fly swiftly across the sky the wind can almost be seen as it roars through the passes and among the broken ridges Squalls of snow are pressed from the heavy bosoms of the clouds and are heaped in great drifts behind each wall or fallen tree No one at a distance can even Imagine the force and majesty displayed at such a time the 1 forces are and the are clear again the transformation is inexpressibly beautiful The sun lights up the new fallen snow the trees axe ver and ail the harsh lines softened There is a vagueness of outline and a look of porcelain transparency on the surface as if one could see into it a little way that is almost weird When the light falls at another angle every line ia as clear as per plate and the whole landscape is dazzling bright

February snow storm starts down towards the plains As it falls through a lower stratum it is turned into a cold March or April rain In lise or sunset there is no country which enjoys more beautiful or in- sights than this and it is well to learn to appreciate them The scenery of the sKy far exceeds any landscape in color form and TIMES A Few of Monad Front an Old I came to this State when py was
