4 SUGGESTION FOR THE GIRLS.
How They Can Make Themselves Solid as Ste
nOgrapers and Typewriters.
Pittsburg Bulletin.

Young women who aspire to a pleas
ant, responsible, congenial position IN
some comfortable business office.
where their serv ices as stenOgraph-
ers and typewriterS shall bring quid
pro quo in merited cash, must cultivats
other things besides proficiency in short
hand hieroglyphics and the keyboard of
the typewriter. The other day the fair
applicant for an excellent position in the
city was put through a preliminary test.
Her fingers were skilled and her ap-
pearance and manner were all that could
be desired. But her brain and tongue
were not up to the requirements, and her
speech lacked the subtle something which
her position called for. She said "un-
experienced - and she wrote ''would
have would of - That settled the am
bilious damsel, in so far as that Office
was concerned.
In these days niceties of speech must,
in writing, be embodied even in business
letters, and the girl that can speak and
write the English language as it is spoken
and written among people of refinement
will be the girl to sit ut the merchants
or manufacturer elbow and transfer his
speech into written expressions. The 81
seen and CT have saw and FfI donei'
girl, though she may be able to take
down 100 words in a minute in short
hand, or write $50 words a minute with
the clicking keys, will about as readily
get permanent position in the office of
a leading business man as a Bactrian
camel will pass through the eye of q
cambria needle.
Good grammar and correct speech daily
enter more into the every day life of bus
mess, and the girl that combines these
with quick brain and manual dexterity
will have the choice of positions of trust
and emolument in the coy, well ap-
pointed business office.

THE work of Gen. Cameron in organ1Z-
ing and encouraging local immigration
movements along the line of the Fort
Worth and Denver railway sets an exam
pie which might well be emulated by the
officials of every road in Texas. There
is moral force about such efforts of
the people themselves to secure immigra-
ton that outweighs all private solicitation
and advertising. No more effectual pol
icy could be adopted to promote settle
ment than that which enlists the cooper
alton of the present settlers. With the
Denver road and the people of upper
Northwest Texas acting in concert in such
a movement the results ought to be
speedy and abundant

SHALL TT BE An ARB0R DAYq

THE GAZETTE of Monday printed a
communication from the progressive
committee of Abilene addressed to the
mayor and common council of that place,
suggesting that February %, Washing
ington 5 birthday, be named as Arbor
day, to be observed locally.
The idea is too good to be limited to a
local application.
THE GAZETTE moves its adoption by
the people'at large, and that on the 22d
day of February, every soul, from the
tOddling infant to the gray-haired vet
eran, blushing maidens and verdant
youths, sires, sons, wives, aunts, uncles,
nephews, neices, daughters, do COM
memorate the day by planting the germ
of tree to shade the coming generation
in Texas.

JUDGE BARRETT of New York has rem
dered a notable decision, declaring trust
combinations unlawful and annulling the
charter of sugar refining company for
abuse of its privileges in joining the sugar
trust. The decision, if affirmed in the
appellate court, viii force the dissolution
of trusts of every character, and will
probably set a precedent for judicial ae-
ton in all the states. The courts do not
seem to agree with the opinion of States
man Blaine that trusts are ''priYate af-
fairs -

The Road Law.
Floresville Citizen .


One of the many important measures
which will claim the attention of the
present legislature will be the revising
remodeling or the repeal of the present
road law. There is unanimity Of senti-
ment throughout the state to the effect
that the law, as it stands to-day is sadly
defective. The public highways under
the present law are worked and repaired
by citizens between the age of Is and 45.
Why should a man of so years be exempt
from road duty at that age a person has
not necessarily ceased from active BUSH
ness life, in nine cases out of ten the man
who carries upon his shoulders the burden
of so summers has more business than
the fuzZy-hpped STRIPPING of 10, yet the
former contributes nothing toward the
maintenance of the public highways
while. the latter is taxed with road duty.
Upon this subject a writer in the Calves
ton News APPLY says:
The amount collected on taxable values for the
road and bridge fund is q very small amount
but every able-bodied man from the ages OF
eighteen to fortyfve is taxed s.. and of all taxes
ever levied this is the most outrageous in Its in
justic and inequality. I have half dozen ten
ants on my farm; all their taxable property COM
bined VIII not exceed $1,000 in value, and nv farm
alone is worth S6000 and yet they pay $50 for road
tax; pay So. They pay per cent. annually,
while pay lip of per cent
Most of men who are well to do are over forty
FIVE, and so escape taxation, while all the young
men who have yet to- earn competence are
compelled to pay. We have a lot of section
hands on the railroad who would hardly know q
dirt road when they saw it, and yet they pay S.
annually. Is there any justice in thisF Our
telegraph operator, who never uses the roads
and has no property, pays the same s. as our
physician, who is worth several thousand and
drives over every road near. And so I could go
on multiplying instances to show how unjust and
unequal is the operation of the law.

To Prepare Fat for Frying.
Good Housekeeping.


Just here let me tell thee how to pre-
pare fat for frying that viii not have the
disagreeable taste or smell that lard has.
neither will it be so expensive. Have
thy butcher reserve for thee, say about
ten pounds at time, of the best beef
fat, and cut it up into small pieces.
When it is brought into the kitchen,
put it into large pan and cover il
over with cold water, letting it stand
half hour or so, as convenient. Then
take it out, putting it in a broad kettle
over the back of the stove TO gradually
try out. When done strain it OF into pan
with some cold water in the bottom All
impurities will settle in the water or on
the cake of fat, and the next day it can
be melted over and poured into jars for
use. For frying L prefer deer fat for
many things, also the kettles for that
purpose, consisting of a double Kettle the
lower one for the fat, with side handle
for allowing the upper one, which has
holes in it, to be hung upon it and SO
drain OF all supeT6uous fat from the
articles fried. Have al pieces of fat
from steaks or roasts Of beef saved, tired
out and strained. Chicken fat as it is
taken from the chickens before they are
cooked is very nice for making molasses
gingerbread, and by some considered nice
for shortcakes and biscuit. Mutton fat I
know of no use for Gas it is impossible to
disguise the taste) except for chapped
hands and the Like, but all such scraps are
good for soap grease, and that can be
easily made and is very useful for clean
ing purposes. Fat from sausage meat is
good for frying potatoes, also for ginger
bread. Just try it if thee feels disposed
to doubt It..

AMEND THE LAZY.

Why should the state of Texas longer
advertise Galveston and Austin as the
only cities in the state having daily news
papers of general circulation? The law
now requires advertisements for sealed
proposals for furnishing supplies to the
asylums to be printed in daily newspa-
pers published in Austin and Galveston.
Since that law was framed, Dallas, San
Antonio, Houston. Waco and Fort
Worth have grown into cities
with newspapers having as wide
circulation as the two named IN the law.
There was excuse for the law when GAL
weston was the only city in Texas, and
this legal boost of the Galveston paper is
out of date. The law as it stands is a
relic of the ox-cart days, and it should
be amended.

A Whole Crop from One Potato.
Corpus Christi Caller.

William Pagan, colored man, farm
ing about six miles west of Corpus
Christi, raised last year six and
half bushels of excellent
Irish potatoes, all from one
potato. He was presented with the seed
in January and planted it the same
week. In June he dug a kerosene can
and half fun of potatoes. The pro-
duce he planted in October, and Christ
mas week he dug FIVE bushels. Six and
a half bushels from one potato in one
year! Who says Nueces is not farming
county?

TO THE NORTHWEST.
Is the motion seconded?

A road from Fort Worth to the North
west is the demand of this city and of the
country through which such road would
run. The need of it and the advantages
of it have been impressed upon every
man in any way interested IN the con-
struction of a railroad from this city
through the Northwest. Efforts have
been made to build such 3 road, and at
various times propositions looking
to the accomplishment of the general
hope have been made; but the need
is unsatisfied and the demand increases.
And now within a few days another prop
osition will be made TO Fort Worth to
build this road. Until that proposal is
presented, it cannot be discussed, but
this much may be said: When the people
of this city are confronted with it they
should give it careful and prayerful heed,
and weigh with due caution the effect of
its acceptance or rejection. The
terms and conditions of the prop
osition are unknown to THE GAZETTE,
but this much is known: If the people
accept it, work will begin at once, and
the proposal Will be made by those who,
themselves, have the money to build the
road far to the northwest.
Let the people of Fort Worth add the
value of northwest road to the loss if
such road is not built, and then weigh
this proposition.

policy of the government is impudent,
and its rebuke by the president-eleet viii
meet with the hearty applause of the
country without regard to politics. The
greatest error of President Cleveland and
the one which undoubtedly did most to
weaken him with his own party was his
concessions to New York interests. They
are essentially and violently selfish and
the least they have to do with the finan-
cial policy of the government the better
for the country at large.

For your dear sake,
You bring
Into your face smile
To cheer me while

Like to that bird am 7.
Which, when the sky
At night
A deeper azure grows

Or like of flowers that one
Which love the sun
And gives
The beauty of its bloom
To him for whom
II lives.
Pleasure nor JOY to bless
Have I unless
Your face
Over my paper shines
And lights the lines
With grace.
For me your smile is day
The golden ray
That climbs
Imagination's wall
And sweetens ell
My rhymes.
For You the bird s song this
The flower fresh kiss
And breath:
Nor may their nightfall come
Till both are dumb
IN death!
