SALT LAKE RANCH, June F, 1886.
 EDITOR HERALD-I saw in your last is- sue quite lengthy editorial censuring the Board of Wagon Road Commission CTS. am not at all surprised that the citizens of Apache county want to know how and where the twelve thousand dol lars placed in our hands by the Territory of Arizona is being spent. l, for one, have asked, and now ask for an itemized statement of all moneys paid out by our Treasurer, Pedro Montana, up 10 this date. and published in the HERALD, that the citizens may see and know the facts about this $l2, ,000 as they are. am not in favor of working in the dark with public moneys; but place every transac- ton before the public that is transacted with their money.
 c. O. HowE,
 Chairman Board Wagon Road Come
 We call attention to the above letter from the Chairman of the Wagon Road Commissioners. We now ask the Chairman if he at tended the meeting of the Com missiOners at Holbrook when the question of the bridge was acted upon, and if he did not, will he give his reasons therefor? Did he re- ceive any notice or invitation from any one to be present? Did he know the object of that meeting? Was he informed by his associate Com missioners, or did he know from any other source, of an intention to apply portion of the $12,000 to the building of that bridge? Was he not led to believe that Apache county roads had not been legally declared public highways, and that the Commissioners could use the money as they saw fit, and then avoid responsibility by . supposed loophole in the law? Will the Chairman tell us if there was an understanding that he should coun- tersign all checks. If there was such an understanding, will he in- form us how many he did counter sign? Does he know how much of the money has been spent, and how much is still in the hands of the Treasurer? If he has asked for an itemized statement of moneys paid out, why did he not make com plaint if 1t was refused? What were his duties as Chairman, and what was done at the meetings, if he cannot tell anything about the expenditures of the Board and the funds on hand? Were not all claims audited before the Board over which he presided? Is it pos sible that Board could be organ ized, who will not allow proceed

A Climbing Vine for House Decora-
ton.

1 am very apt to- become impatient
with some of the climbers that are
slow of growth in the living room,
even the old-fashioned ivy requires
very favorable conditions to contin.
ue it's growth through darkened whit.
er days. Morning glories grow very
spindllng. Mauranda are delicate
and require sunlight; so does the
lophospermum, but many hardy va.
rieties of passifora will and send
forth sprays of green leaves that are
glossy and beautiful, even though no
flowers appear. Under these very
unfavorable circumstances the sue
cess of the Madeira vine was a sub.
jcct for congratulation; it was cheer
full in any adverse situation, and its
light green foliage made a pretty
contrast among other plants. But
during the past winter the Lygodinm
scandens, or "climbing fern has
been peerless among the vines, for
we have discovered that it is not in
jured by furnace heat or coal gas
that it can exist with bat little light,
and grows rapidly. But to be a real
success the plant must be started in
spring, and make it's full growth dur
ing the summer, trained on the
strings. Before frost, if taken into
cool room (for sudden heat would
cause the leaves to drop it can be
trained so as to become an ornament
of beauty, and will remain so till
spring, when it can be cut down and
repotted, after which fresh fronds
will start.
Lygodiun palnaatom is found wild
in several states, but resists al at
tempts to cultivate it. Immense
quantities of it are used after being
pressed, and it is known as the
Hartford fern" The l.. scandens
is finer in leaf and more delicate in
its fronds, being superior to smilax

Woman's Best Friend.

A hair-pin is woman's best friend.
1t fits multiplicity of uses, and she
is never without one. If her hair is
short, you can depend upon it that
in a recess of her purse or a pocket
of her reticule you will find the hair
pin. If she buttons her shoes, she
nses her hair, pin, and who ever saw
woman button her gloves with any
thing else? Suppose q nickel has
dropped between the bars of the
wooden CRATE in the street car. Does
she soil her fingers as a man would,
and then not get it? Certainly not.
Out comes the hair-pin, and the coin
is lifted out without trouble. If her
shawl pin is lost, where so good u
substitute as the hair-pin? If she
eats nut does she take a nut-pick?
Most assuredly not. The 'hair-pin
again. 1t is with the hair-pin that
she rips open the uncut leaves of u
book or magazine. 1t is hair pin
with which she marks her progress
in her favorite book. If "a trunk key
is missing, hair-pin opens the re-
fractory lock as neatly as a burglars
skeleton key would. And the feats
of hair-securing that she will make a
simple bow-legged hair pin accom-
plished nearly surpasses the belief of
man. Although it deserves to be
classed Among the great inventions
of the world, and the grave of the
original man who created the first
one could have no prouder epitaph
than this:
This is the kind ola hair.pin he was"

If you do not use the patent per-

plates over by taking u hammer and
small nail and putting some holes in
the bottom of them, thus allowing
the steam to escape and preventing
the paste from being soggy mass.
Rub the bottom of your saucepan
in which you boil milk with a little
butter to prevent the milk from
sticking.
Before putting your rolls into the
oven to bake rub the edges with a

"OUIDA ON WOMEN"
''The Great Female Novelist Dissects Her sea
Mercilessly.

North American Review.
AS we again and again see the wom-
an expecting from her son the purity
Of manners OF maiden, and making
no account, because she ignores them
entirely, OF the imperious necessities
of sex; so we should see her in matters
OF national or universal import simi-
larly disregarding or ignoring all facts
OF which she chose to take note. Sci
ence, indeed, presumes that in educat-
ing herit would strengthen her reason
ing powers and widen her mind into
the acceptance OF true liberty. But
what proof is there that science would
do anything OF the sort? 1t has new
er yet showed any true liberality itself.
The woman is the enemy OF freedom.
Give her power and she is at once des-
potic. The enormous pretensions to
the monopoly OF mans life which
women put forward in marriage are
born OF the desire to tyranize. The
rage and amazement displayed by the
woman when man, whether her lover
or husband, proves inconstant toher,
comes from that tenacity over the
man as a property which wholly
blinds her to her own faults or lack OF
charm or power to keep him. A very
clever woman never blames n man Tor
Inconsistency to her; she may perhaps
blame herself. Women as q rule at
tach far too great value to them
selves. A virtuous woman is above
rubies, has said Solomon; but this de-
ponds very much on the quality ofthe
virtue; and the idea prevailing among
women that they are valuable, adj
mirable and almost divine, merely be
cause they are women, is one oil the
most misch:evous fallacies born o.
human vanity and accepted without
analysis.
In marriage, moreover, the influence
Of the woman, wherever popular pref
udices plead to the contrary, is con
stantly belittliny and injurious to thu

Death by Slow Paralysis.

Deacon Amos p. Kendall, OF Palmer,
Mass, died recently OF curious dis.
ease that had caused the death ofhis
grandfather, father and two brothers.
In effect it was paralysis, and yet it
came on very gradually, without any
shock. Less than year ago Deacon
Kendall noticed lameness in finger
on his left hand. The disorder develop
ed gradually, until about ivemonths
ago the left hand became "elpless and
dangled from the wrist. Next the
calves OF his legs were attacked, and q
couple OF months more he was forced
to stop walking, and soon after he was
unable to move his left leg at all. His
mouth and throat were then approach
ed, the muscles controlling the salivary
glands weakened, which caused n cease
less flow ofsaliva. After that heprog-
ress OF the disease was rapid, and at
the time OF his death he had lost his
speech save gutteral sounds, was
unable to swallow or to move any
member save one arm slightly and
turn his head somewhat. The paral-
wed portions retained the sense OF
touch, and his mind was perfectly
clear to the last.

dol Sarto have cursed the woman who
has made them barter their heritage
OF genius for the pottage OF worldly az
fuence.
A lady very much given to gadding
was suddenly taken i'll at home and
sent her husband in great haste for
the doctor. The obedient man ran
part OF the way, then returned to put
his important query: "My dear,
where shall / find you when l get
backY" We have no sympathy with
women like this, who are never .at
home" except on their invitation
cards; nevertheless, we can but see
that, ii husbands need vacations, so
do wives. We do not agree with the
old writer who SAID that woman
should only leave home three times
in her lie--to be christened, mar
ried and buried. Doctors tell us
that more women break down mental
!y than men, and they also tell
us that this is because they have more
cares TO carry, and haveto carry them
continuously. When a mans work
is done, he can lock it up in his
office and put the key in his pocket.
But wife never locks her work up
till sleep comes and turns the key up
on it. Her work is never done, and II
she does not want an occasional holi'
day, who does? And she cannot get
it at home. The more quiet and rest
full the home is to her family, the more
evidence that is care, if not bur-
den to her. A housekeeper can no
more take q vacation in her home
than a merchant in his counting-room
or II Prime Minister in his Council
Chamber. Husbands, then, should &C.
caslonaly try and induce their wives
| tif they are good ones it will not be
! easily done) to take n short holiday
away from home, where they can have
the luxury OF not knowing what is for
dinner before they see it, and 60 to
sleep without listening with one ear
for the crying of the children.
Without gong so far rs Lucordaire.
who in his letters to young people
fixes the age OF seven as the period OF
weaving boy from the delights OF
home life, we still think with him that
u time does come when he should pros
ecute his studies and meet the trials
OF life away from home. The shelter
OF the parental roof, if never quilted,
becomes enervating. Boys are too
much at home who never meet their
EQUALS or encounter rivals and hard
struggles. Some mothers believe that
they are exhibiting the proper INA
ternal feelings" IN keeping their children
at home when they should send them
forth in the world, where they can be
taught the virtue OF self-dependence.
Nothing is better for a young man
than to love his home; but if by stay
ing too much at home his activity
and enterprise are checked, then one
OF the greatest OF LIES blessings has
become curse.

Juggling for the President.

Washington Post: Shortly before
1 o'clock one afternoon Hermann,
the magician, sauntered up to the
White House to call upon the presi-
dent. A large crowd was waiting in
the east room, but the president
stopped in the corridor to receive his
visitor. There was a cordial hand
shaking and few words of converse
ton, when the man OF many tricks
took out OF his pocket an innocent
looking coin. 1t was apparently gold,
and was so curiously marked that 1t
could easily be remembered.
"Quite a pretty gold piece, Mr.. Pres
ident," said the magician, and the
president assented. Now look at
it." said Hermann, and he deity
turned it in his hand. 1t had turned
to silver. Another turn or two and
a gold coin was resting in his hand
again. Then he pulled ring from his
pocket and asked the president to
hold up his finger that he might place
it upon it. The president did so, and
lol the ring had disappeared. The inn.
promptu entertainment continued for
a few minutes, and the president sug'
yested that it might be pleasant idea
to have Mr.. Hermann give a soiree
at the White house some evening.
