Editor san Antonio Lights
san ANTONIO, Texas, July 81, lsso.-
Dear Sir; In your issue Of July 10th the
following paragraph appeared' "Aiter
several years experience 1t has been
clearly demonstrated that cement side
walks. M n rule. are failure. Many OF
the cement walks all over the city are
all broken and In dangerous con-
ditiOn."
This IL an injustice, and would work
Injuries on one OF our home enterprises.
It Is. on the contrary, well proven that
in all instances where sidewalks have
been made of San Antonio cement.
and only the ordinary wear ana
tear excepted, they are holding
their equal to any sidewalk. IL must
also be considered that In muddy
weather, horses, buggies and wagons
take to the sidewalks, much to the
chagrin and Inconvenience OF pedes-
trians
A law should be strictly enforced
against the riding and driving on these
walks. for in nearly every instance
where the cement walk has given away,
the cause can be traced to some milk,
butcher or wood wagon being driven
upon same.
The writer OF this is not Interested In
sidewalks of any kind, but deems 1t an
act OF justice TO make the foregoing
statement. OBSERVER

that iu those districts Of Spain infected

spread has been much the greatest in the
direction OF the flow Of the streams,

between this disease and the water sup.

worth while to note the fact that at

there has been no recurrence Of the dis

The Governor OF Massachusetts In an
address before the worchester Teohni-
cal school few days ago, departed
from the beaten track Of lecturers, and
took for his subject, blouse knowledge
for Boys" in what he said IL thank
my mother that she taught me both to
sew and to knit. Although my domes-
tic life has always been feicitous, |
have, at times, found this knowledge
very convenient. A man who knows
how to do these things. at all times hon
orable and sometimes absolutely neces-
sary to preserve ones integrity, Is 10
times more patient when calamity be-
falls than one who has not these accom-
pllshments." A commentator Of
"girls work" from such an authority EN-
boldens the writer to add word in
favor of teaching boys now to do work
that may be Il relief to nervous, sick,
worried, and overworked mother or
wife, and be of important and instant
use in emergencies. A hungry man
who cannot prepare his food, dirty
man who cannot clean his clothes, n d.
lapidated man who is compelled to use
shingle nail for sewed-on button, is a
helpless and pitiable object. There are
occasions In almost every mans life
when to know how to cook. TO sew to
keep the house." to wash, starch and
iron, would be valuable knowledge.
Such knowledge is no more unmas-
culne and efleminate than that
OF the professional baker. Dur
ing the great civil war, the fore
thought OF my mother in teaching me
the mysteries OF household work was II
sweet boon, as the late Artemus Ward
would say. The scant products OF for
/ aging when on the march could be
turned to appetizlng food by means OF
the knowledge acquired In boyhood, and
a handy use of needle and thread was Il
valuable accomplishment. Circum-
stances Of peculiar privation compelled
the writer, as head of n helpless family
to undertake the entire work. The in
struotlon of boyhood enabled him tC
cook, wash, starch, iron, wait on the
sick, and do the necessary mental labol
of the house in measurably clearly ant
quiet manner. This knowledge is in n,
way derogatory to the assumptive supe
rlority OF the male portion OF humanity
boy who knows how to sweep, I,
tidy up to make bed, to wash dishes
