ORPHANS ASK A HOME.
An Appeal for a Permanent Home
by the Directors.

The ladies of the Protestant Orphans Home,
OF this city are very much in need of new
quarters. The very pleasant and healthy
| home they no enjoy on San Pedro avenue is
| too small for their accommodations, aud the
| time has come for a decided movement for
permanent quarters. The Home has passed its
experimental stage. 1t is a fixed institution,
Systematically controlled and most ecOnomi-
emily managed. 1t cares for and educates at
the present time forty orphans. and to accom-
plIsh this employs seven attendants. teachers
and matrOns. The regular income of the Home
is about SI25 per month received from the
monthly subscriptions of its friends. The reg
uIar expenses are now about $500 per month
and this additional $40 per month is drawn
from outside subscriptions and spec al dona.
tions. 1t is very embarrassing to the
ladies' who are responsible for the
Home and the maintenance of it's work to
find each month so great a disparagement be-
tween the regular income of the Home and its
regular and necessary expenses. To remedy
this, the ladies appeal to the citizens OF San
Antonio who have not hitherto subscribed to
the funds of the Home to do so without delay.
Summer is approaching in which season
many of our people leave the city and the in
come of the Home is correspondngly cut Off.
This Orphans Home for Protestant Children
appeals feelingy to the aid of the charitable,
and the ladies of the Home urge upon all who
can to become monthly contributors to the
funds of the Home, no matter how small the
monthly amount. 1t will add so much TO the
monthly revenue that is permanent.
Not only so. new home is required.
permanent home it should be. The ladies now
have i'm hand or subject to call about 1850 for
building fund, including the S569.59 just con-
tributed by DR.. John Halls Sunday school
in New York City. The ladies desire most
earnestly to erect a home for the Orpbauag G
and appeal to the wealthy real estate holders
of this city to donate them suitable location.
The time has come 70 act, ard this Protestant
Orphans home should be placed on an endur-
in footing.
Subscriptions to the monthly funG. or to
the permanent building fund can be sent d. |
rect either to the president, Mrs. W. Nor
ton or to the treasurer, Mrs. NJ. p. Talcott,
and the same will be acknowledged
The LIGHT, in behalf of this noble charity |
and the self sacrificing omen who are carr |
ing it on, most earnestly appeals to the citi |
Zens of this city and the wealthy who visit |
here. 20 consider the claims of this orphauage |
and respond liberal Y to the cal Tor aid.

The working population of Lyons
m as a rule a thoughtful and intelli-
gent set, but poor. The majority are
engaged in silk weaving, a great many
carrying on the business in their own
homes. There are 800 or 600 silk
mills and as many as 130, 600 looms,
while the raising of silk worms, the
cultivation of the mulberry trees and
the winding of silk from the cocoons
employ q vast number of families.
Many of tho richest kinds of silk
fabrics were invented here, as poplins
and MORE antiques, while velvet was
first woven in 1870. What a>poor
thing society must have been before
velvet vas invented The jacquard
loom dates only from 1902. We visited
several of tle abodes of these
gloomy, lofty dwellings of the most
u~nattractive appearance, constructed
of gray stone, for neither wood nor
brick is used in this part of tho coun-
try, and their more lively colors are
sadly missed. In the upper stories,
where they can get the best light, the
artisans live, their ponderous looms
almost filing the small apartment,
while wife and children pursue their
own avocations as best they can
around tho edges of the room.-Cor.

A noted French chef makes coffee
by pouring boiling water on the
ground berries; after fltering, the
water is again boiled and again poured
on the coffee; and so on for O third
time. He does not boil the coffee and
water together, nor put tho coffee in
cold water and let 1t come to q boil.
To make good tea, he says, you must
pour boiling water on it and throw 1t
out Immediately. Then pour one
third of the boiling water required,
put the pot over q steaming apparatus,
and then add another third, and finally
the last third, repeating the steaming,
in order to let it draw without boiling.
This is what the French cook of a well
known millionaire does, and the mas
ter of the house looks as if he was sat
isied.-New York Mail and Express.

II Was "a Pretty Foot.

The funniest incident of my trip was
in a sleeping ear 1t was in the morn
ing, when the passengers had got out
of their berths, and only several sets
OF curtains were drawn in front Of
still siumberous persons. Suddenly a
foot was thrust out between two cur-
tains. II was small, white and sym
m~etrical-not more than n feminine
number three-and tho merest bit Of
ankle in sight looked soft and fine.
Tho men glanced at it from the
ners Of their wicked eyes. The wo-
men deprecated the exposure. Then
n bold, brazen fellow went right
straight TO tho pretty foot, grabbed tho
ankle, and flung the whole member
rudely into the berth.
"Ho wouldn't treat his bride 50"
said a woman close by. 1T must be
his sister"
Then the head OF n 1O-ycar-old
urchin emerged where tho foot had
been, and a sleepy, angry, boyish
voice said: Look here, Sam, o Let
mo alone. Next time you ketch hold
of my foot that way III kick the gig

not the proper place for a prolonged
sojourn of invalid tourists. The robust

like Orizaba or Cuernavacn. Here il

tel room, rs such n thing is absolutely
unknown. A lamp will, it is true,
heat n room sufficiently TO take off the

valid to live. There aro cities and
towns here where no need of n fire
will be felt the winter through. For
those of us residents who have gone
through the not wholly comfortable
process Of ncclimntization and are
fairly robust, n winter is quite n differ
emit thing. Its cold is gently bracing,
the appetite, never sharp in tropical
