THE HY N 2 The hands are once more moving slowly over the face of the hymenometer, and it is quite evident that the machine is ubout to tell some interesting tales. A great many people are unacquainted with the hymenometer. That is to say, while they read and admire week by week, the pre- dictions of this wonderful instrament, they are totally in ignorance of how the machine operates. For all such, a briel explanation will be made. The hymenometer (the this term is at once apparent by ating it into hymen “marris and mieter “measure”), is a small, plain, very sim- ple leaky instrument. In outward appe ance it is something like a chronometer or ge wateh. It has a dial, of gold, which is 50 chemically prepared that in a dark room it is beautifully phosphorescent. Suspended on a pivot in the of the dial are two silver Dbauds, each of which i diamond-tipped. So much orthe outward appearance of the hymen ometer. The interior meehanism is extremel delicate, and to des it would require much time. Suflice it to say that every few moments, by some mysterious means, two names, one that of a lady, the other that of a zentleman, are illumined on the dial. Then the silver hands swing around, by means of the action of 4 set of ve te springs, until they reach position yin frontof these names, showing unmistakably that the two are to be linked toge in very pronounced companied by partict or even by an illumi both of the parties.

Once again the hands make a turn, This time they tell affection’s tale on a young lady from Minneapolis, who is visiting her aunt in North Qumaha. The gentleman in the case, it appears, resides in Washington t tory. His name is very indistinetly outlined on the dial and it cannot be at present made out.

Insde property has had a geod demand, and sold at an_ excellent figur One firm reports that during the week they have sold $17,000 worth Bof inside lots. The largest sale by agents was a number of lots on Colfax street amounting to £21,000. One of the estate firms, however, bought propert the price paid for wnich aggr $063,000. John I. Redick sold a tract his land to agents for $23,000. This will be eut up into lots and sold.

As soon as summer has fairly opened up, the real estate business will” receive quite a little push, it is thought, and eastern peo- ple will have a good deal to do with this.

Grad- Ing and paving streets always has a tendency to raise the worth of property along the routes, but outside of such events, no change will be made in property prices. Lots in the outskirts of the city are being sold quite readily to the people who wish to e comforta- ble homes. Property in the business por- tionsis also gettinglquitea little attention.

How the Latest Move of the Tricky Santa Fe is Regarded. Information has been received at the snger department of the Union Pa- cific and B. & M. that the Santa Fe had ised rates on California business, or, rather, that they would do so on and after to- The rates up to date have been alike on transcontinental lines; first class $30, with §25 rebate; second ¢ §20, with §15 rebate. The change doe not affect the amount paid for tickets, but lessens the rebzte on first and sccond el tickets to §18 and , respectively, making a net rate of $12 and $7. General Ticket Agent Stebbins of the Union Pacific said that he was inclined to view the action of the Santa Fe with dis- trust and that the Union Pacific would probubly not raise rates on_the strength of this" alleged raise. “We prefer to wait,” he said, “until we hea : this thing.” General Mana of the B. & M., also said that his roud would probably pay no attention to the I'e’s move.
