IHJTCH FRED. Sanitarian. These need not cause anxiety in all cases. If the child is healthy, and has good, nourishing food, and pure) air the two great essentials for making good blood it will probably outgrow its bow legs naturally enough as its strength increases. Rubbing tho legs with your hand in the morning-may help to straighten and strengthen, them, holding them straight as you rub them.

If tbe case is pretty bad, the legs may be bound together with comfortable bandages during sleep, rubbing them well before and after binding them. If the child is quite young it may be kept from standing on its feet for a few months, giving; nature time to straighten the crookedness while the limbs are growing stronger. A carriage and a high chair are helps toward carrying out the plan. All the things that have been mentioned as curative agencies may be used as preventives. A healthy child, with wholesome food and pure air to breathe, if kept rom standing and walking while too young and weak, will not have bow legs.

Scrofulous children are more likely to suffer in this way, and thoe that are fleshy. Don't take a prido in your fat baby. Excessive fat is a sign of disease, instead of a sign of health. Fatten your pigs as much as you fancy, but da not deliberately fatten your children. Give them plenty of good growing food, and they will be plump enough for symmetry, and not too heavy for comforta'-le ac tivity, it is no wonder that the little legs bend under the heavy weight of some fat little toddlers.

Such child ren should not be encouraged to Ftand or walk until they have grown strong enough to do so of their own accord, and then should not be allowed to walk too much. Baloon Contest. Mr. Josceline Badgot and Mr.Drum- mond, of the Grenadier Guards, ac companied by Mr. T.

Wright, the winner of the international baloon contest, went to see the Derby in a baloon. They ascended from the Crystal Palace on the day of the race at 1 p. m. When the ropes were loosened they ascended to a height of 5,000 feet, and traveled slowly in a southwesterly direction for a distance of about eight mils. The baloon then suddenly sank, but ballast being thrown out it rose again to 8,000 feet and traversed in the of Epsom.

If it could be built and run in compe tition against the roads already run ning it would be of immense service to the State.

The letter of Auditor French to Stanford looks aa if he were in Gould's interest in this matter and was trying to bring pressure from Oovernment to bear for the same pur pose.

The pinion in Omaha is that the road will be a standard guage, and that it will run south of Eureka and Austin, through Qrantsville, and cross! the Sierras near Bodie and Yosemite. Nothing is settled yet, however, and it its not likely that it will take that route on account of the great height of the mountains there, and the lm- mense snow falL this gazette PBKDicTS that if it is ever built it will go fur- ther south or else that it will come up through this country somewhere and strike through Sierra Valley and down the North Fork of Feather river, where the highest summit will be less thau six thousand feet, and the snow fall merely nothing. There is some talk of its going even further north, cutting Hay ward Ilobart's timber belt, and striking the Sacramento Valley above Maryswlle. It is said that the two parties to that plan have had talks together and are very friendly. The Union Pacific folks are feeling very independent and say they have tbe Central Pacific in a hole.

A glance at the map will show that there i is some truth in their claim. The line from Granger to Oregon will be run as the main line, and the road to Og- den as a branch. Then if they build a road to California the Cen- tral folks can be cut off any day and be left without a connection. In an swer to that, however, the Central peo ple have several resources. They can build to Denver and connect with the C.

B. which will be there before the road could be built to San Fran cisco; or they can build to the Black Hills and meet the North Western, and they will soon have the Denver Rio Grade into Utah. All three lines are savage against the Union Pacific. In any case Nevada has nothing to fear from new lines, while tbe next five years are full of possibilities. Census of Cereals.

Wednesday, early, the business men on Virginia Street were called to their doors by loud talking. An eye-witness says he stepped 10 the sidewalk, and saw Dutch Fred, a shoemaker near Quinn's store, shoot at Pat Tighe, who was running acroM the street Fred tried to shoot again, but his pistol would not go. He then pursued Tighe, and they clinched, Fred on top. He was proceeding to castigate Tighe, when L. J.

Flint interfered, and stopped the fight. Flint took away the pistol, and the di -armed roan went home. It seems, from what little can be learned, that Fred had a difficulty with one Bran-nan about a bill. Fred claims that Tighe interfered, and they clinched. The Shoemaker pulled his pistol and struck Tighe, and, as Fred claims, the gun went off accidentally.

This forenoon Tighe swore out a warrant charging Fred with assault with intent to kill, and the accused was jailed in default of bonds. He gave his name as II. P. Pavola. The pistol is becoming entirely too numerous in this community, and it is neither useful nor ornamental.

Tbe people are thor oughly interested in this business and will give it a liberal support. There will be special premiums for almost everything that can be made a feature and no pains will be spared to make a first-class fair. Old Slop Eater Incarcerated. The old maq who has walked through the back alleys, living on what he could fish ot swill barrels, got above the business on Saturday last, by the stealing of a large roll of blankets, clothing, from the steps of L. Wintermantel's saloon He was immadiately traced to his rendevoua the little white house near the Catho lie cemetery, and by detectives Brown and Hoy made to shoulder his coveted prize and pack the same to police where' the police judge in goodness of his heart gave old lop-eater an order on Washoe county for 90 days' board.

Rather tough on the county. The Soa of a Prophet. Over a year ago Theodore Winters predicted that an army of crickets would follow the grasshoppers and then both disappear. He said that the last time the hoppers swept the country, which was in 1837-8, the crickets were a year behind and were about as bad as their predecessors, except that they could not fly. Any ditch or fence would turn them, aa they were very awkward and helpless.

The advance guard of the host of crickets have already appeared in this country and the end is not far off. A Lady Correspondent. per "Puiey writes to know what to do I whRii she has the "blues."

Expected from the The Board of Asylum Commission era met in Uarson Aionaay. it was hoped that the Supreme Court might give an intimation of the expected decision from the Bench. The intimation was not given, however, and the Board proceeded to act. Members of the Commis-ion informed a Gazette reporter thut they did not doubt that a favorable decision would be render ed by the Court.

The bid of $60,000, offered by eleven citizens of Reno, was accepted as being the most eligi ble before the Board. Lawyer Hay- den informs a aeetts reporter that S. F. Hoole, one of the bidders, will contest the award. He will hold that the law is mandatory, and commands the acceptance of the lowest responsi ble bid.

Now that the citizens have the award it may be expected that work will be pushed forward rapidly The Gazbttb's cotemporary intimates that work mav be commenced'within one week.

At the organization of the Georgia- Pacific at Atlanta the other day, there was a banquet, and Senator Ben Hill responded to the toast for the Union, saying; "A tew years ago we tried to get out of it, but tbe North just said that it couldn't do without us. That was the highest complimant one people ever paid to another.

Think of the blood and treasure they spent to keep us in the Union. Do you suppose anybody would fight to keep New England in the Union? We are here and must do the best we can to make the Union what it ought to be." A Dormant Nobleman. N. Y. Snn.

The London Telegraph, referring to the late Robert A. Alexander, founder of the celebrated stock farm of Wood-burn, in Kentucky, says: "It is well known that the Alexander family is lineally descended from Lord Sterling, and it is believed that if Mr. A. Alexander cared to make application to the House of Lords, he would not have much difficulty in establishing his claim to that dormant peerage."

Yerlngton Phaeton Wedged in Between a Shade Tree and the Fence. The Carson Appeal gives the following account of the narrow escape of a ladv much respected in Reno. It says Saturday afternoon about 5 o'clock Mrs. H. M.

Yerington was driving in a phaeton with a pair ot sorrel bays, when one of the horses stepped in hole where a gas pipe had been mend ed and in struggling to extricate itself broke a portion of the harness.

They wheeled to the left and wedged the the phaeton between a large tree and the fence, where they came to a stand still. Aside from the shock caused bv the sudden stopage, none of the occupants of the vehicle were injured lue norses were reeking with per spiration from their gallop and the harness was torn to pieces. Beyond this there was no unhappy results from the runaway. A Slovenly Road. The road from Reno to the English mill has not been touched this spring.

The bridge near Ruhe's slaughter house, where Leete's ditch crosses tbe road, is impassable. A couple of broken boards lie on tbe stringers and all the rest is bare, so that instead of being of any service the bridge is an actual detriment, as it prevents peo- pie from driving across at that place Farmers who live down below there have to drive down the ditch and cross below the bridge. This is the farmers busy season and it is a hard ship to them to have the roads in such shape. They cannot haul a load into town because they cannot jog down into tbe ditch and bounce out without danger of breakages. The road is cut up beyond the bridge by waste water running in it which could have been prevented by a very little attention.

The Depot notel park has been im proved by the erection of a beautiful fountain, throwing a spray up in the air which falls on a bronze umbrella, under which are sheltered the figures of two handsome children clinging to each other. The piece is called "Out in the Rain," and drew a prize at the Centennial Exhibition.

The pool beneath is 9 feet across and is neatly walled in with cut stone. A layer of Pyramid lake pebbles 19 inches wide will be laid outside of the wall seper- ating it from the grass.

They are bulling the fish market, and steadily making capital for the hub as a point from which a man can go in any direction and fih all day. A Reno man who had tried the Carson streams all day for the third time, returned to town loaded down with latent profanity.

He met Gus Lewis: "Well, Reno, where's your fish?" "Got none." "Where did you got" asked Gus. "Down to the dam, where you told me." "Oh, hell," said Lewis, "you certain ly misunderstood me. I told you to go up to the slough." The disappointed angler had not gone ten steps when he met Sam Davis. "Where did you leave your speckled beauties?" shouted Sam. "Speckled beauties be "Why, where did you go?" enquired the journalist.

"Went up to the slough, of course, where you told me." "Oh pshaw." said Davis, "never thought of such a thing. Dammit, I wish you'd a gone down to the dam. You'd a caught a truck-load."

Very few people know that there is narrow guage road in operation about six miles west of Franktown. The road is one and a half mijes in length, employs an engine and wood and logging cars.
