Method of Removing a Tight Rin'


 Use the finest silk or thread consistent with strength - ordinary housewife thread is strong enough. Pass the end between the finger aud ring, keeping tho spool or unlimited end at the side near tho linger-tip; then wind downward toward tho tip of the finger for about Q quarter of an inch; then wind off from above by the short end about half this amount. Proceed alternately winding on and on, always leaving about one- eighth of an inch in breadth wound be- meath tho ring. When the knuckle is passed, the ring comes eff easily. Oil or soap tho thread well, and push up the ring before commencing to wind. This method, it is believed, will remove any ring.

Directory-Caution.

Frequent complaints are heard about
the disreputable methods of some &C.
called directory agents. Gases are cited
where orders have been tampered with

vance has been demanded. No reputable
firm will resort to such methods. 1t is
time to give warning to the public to see
that you are ordering from responsible,
reliable house like that OF Il. L. Polk Il
Co. They published the only California
State directory evsr issued in 1888, and
have now in preparation their next book
for 1890. They employ only carefully
trained agents, and, having abundant
means and ample experience, produce a
work that is credit to the State and one
of great value to business men.

in the basement OF the City Hall, and
after the generator has been purchased,
it is calculated that the only extra ex-

not placed in the City Hall, it is proba.
BILE that clause will be placed in the
next franchise for an electric light COM
pany requiring it to furnish the City
Hall, the engine houses and the Police
Station with light free. 1t is stated that
the Thompson Houston system people
are contemplating asking for franchise
for an electric light company. If they
do it is probable that one of the condi-
tions on which it will he granted is that
the clause referred to be accepted.

NEW YORK, March 20.--It appears that
+. b. Thurber and Erastus Wiman are
the chief promoters in this country of
the projected salt trust. Associated
with them are number of prominent
English capitalists, controlling $25, 00O,-
600. A gentleman who is prominently
interested in this project made the fol-
lowing statement: 1T is not proposed to
form trust which viii unreasonably
enhance prices to consumers, but it is
proposed to bring the best brains in the
salt business to bear upon the whole
problem employ capital enough to pur-
chase the principal work, operate those
which are most favorably situated, and
by applying the best and most econom-
ical processes. effect economies which
could not possibly be effected under in
dividual management 1t is not ex-
pected that all the salt properties in
the country will be purchased, but those
most favofably situated will probably be

ton, will lead SO far in its facilities that

matters receive so little attention. The
stores are full OF European goods: the
machinery brought here in the main
comes from England, while all that is
most valuable the men wear or have IN
their houses comes from distant lands.
The consuI.says the English merchants
are very careful to comply with the pc

portation of goods and consequently
rarely have trouble at the custom house:
but the Americans, on the other hand,
are constantly violating the laws and
then make great complaint because they
