Danger ot Bare Arms.
An English physician, Dr. -Horace DObell,
has lately pointed out a fact"which, on
should think, having been Made known to
women who go to, balls and parties with
-bare arms; would be something towards
making them stop the practice.' Dr.Dobell
says that "it is most irnpckrtantto keep the
arms warm, especially inktlibie.

the fitteat, children Whoare'thus constantly

Mothers should bathe: their babies f

to know what to do with it, no matter how
good and cheap it eciey be. , Poultry is new
at least one.third lower-thart beef, andlive
fowls are ridiculously cheap; yet there is
no great increase in the demand for them.
Eggs at 25 cents per dozen give mote actual

eggs equals three pounds meat. There

Eerritic Force of Cloud 'Water.
During the past week there have ,been
half a dozen cloud -bursts in various sections
in the eastern -part of Nevada. The boos
" burst" would seeneto be that which occur-
red laiit Sundayin the mountains east of
Oreana, stud which swept away a stone rail-
way culvert thirty feet wide and twenty
feet deep. An eye-witnees asserts that the
current of air created by the large body of
water would have 'drawn a person into it
from a dietance of twenty feet. Steel rails
weighing sixty pounds to , the yard, stood
on end like telegraph poles, and the eolid
stone masonry work of the culvert was swept
away.like so much rubbish. It is impossi-
ble to estimate the Wonderful velodity this
body of Water had reached when- it came
upon, what was almost asolidlitone barrier.
It was like the stroke Of a battering -ram. -7 -
