EAyYPRESSURES.

We are apt to think at times that
we should be happier if we had less
to do, probably some of us would,
but we learn by experience that
life's cares are its pleasures; that
It's burdens are like the weights of a
clock, necessary to keep our ma
chinery in good running order.
Stanley tells US in his DARK Con-
tinent that when crossing rapid
stream the natives put heavy rocks
on their heads to keep them from
being carried away by the force Of
the current,and thus they pass safe
ly over. In crossing many dan
gerous rapid in our lives we are
steadied by the burdens resting on
our shoulders, and without them we
should fail to reach the desired
shore.
1t is better to wear out than to
rust out. A watch that is not kept
running soon loses thepower to run.
Keep it wound up,and it will go till
it wears itself out. Omit winding
and let it lie still, and dust accumu.
iates, or the oil dries up or gets
sticky, and the wheels refuse to
move.
We can do what we have to do,
but we cannot work more than TWEEN.
ty-four hours in one day, nor more
than twelve OF sixteen, allowing
time for food and sleep. When
pressures are heavy, they crowd out
a lot of superAuous work and COM
pei us to do what most needs doing,
often to our great advantage. We
accomplish a great deal because we
neglect all the unimportant things
and concentrate our forces on what
cannot be neglected.
Those under heavy pressures can
not judge at the time how much
good they are deriving from the
weights resting on them but their
friends can see we'll enough how they
improve in steadiness,in patience,in
gentleness, lin power Of sympathy
with others, in forgetfulness Of self
in efficiency.
When the burden gets too heavy
to be borne we learn what we
should have learned in the begin
ing, that there is One who will bear
the burden for us and with us, not
permitting US to be tempted above
what we are able to bear.

SWEET POTATOES.

How to keep sweet potatoes.
Dig after the first signs Of frost are
on the vines. Don't be in a hurry
about it. Take plenty of time rath-
er than worry over getting them in
the same day let them stay in the
patch all night in small piles, put
ting vines over them to keep off
frost or heavy dew. Put one or
two months supply in the cellar
the others to keep should be put up
as follows:
Take time and do not be IN a
hurry. Throw up foundation of
dirt at least eighteen inches, large
enough to hold twenty-five bushels
or less, never more, in one hill
On this foundation should be spread
dry pine straw at least six inches
deep. After the potatoes have been
carefully piled on, coat with tour or
five inches of dry pine straw on
this place corn stalks vertically,
making each stalk fit snug and close
to its neighbor-one round of stalks
being sufficient. Let stalks lap
over apex of hill. Then carefully
cover over with dirt about three
inches thick until the weather gets
colder, when an additional coating
of dirt will be necessary. Always
leave the top Of the hill tree from
dirt. The straw and tapping stalk
ends are sufficient protection. An
old window shutter, door or Is inch
board placed slopingly, with slope
to the north, is all the shelter need
ed. The colder the winter, the
more dirt is necessary on the hill
too much dirt will cause rot in mild
weather. Potatoes are more often
damaged by heat than cold. Take
down whole hill as necessity re-
quires for table or market, and 20
tor several days rather than breach
your hill in damp foggy or rainy
weather.

ALTGELT VS.. WATERWORKS.


In the Altgclt case appellant sued to
Vacate contract set out at length in his
petition and entered into by the city of
San Antonio with the San Antonio
WaterworkS Company: Incorporated I'M
der the general laws of this state. Alt
gclt sought to restrain the city from pay
ing to the wateTwOrkS company any of
the municipal funds by virtue of said
contract, which was alleged TO be
illegal and Unauthorized, and from max
ing any appropriation of public money
to satisfy said contract. The QueS-
tiOnS raised are as to the powers of the
city council TO grant the company the eX-
elusive privilege to furnish water and to
impair or embaTraSS the City'S power by
charter to provide water for the city: and
further, as to the power Of the city to eX-
empt the property from taxation. If for
any Of these reasons the contract was il
legal. then arises the question whether
plaintiff has such interest in the matter
as entities him to right of action.
As to the first question il is held there
is no material difference between the
pending case and that of the City of Bren-
ham vs.. the Brennan Water Company (67
Tex. Rep.). and that for the reasons given
by Chief Justice StaytOn in that case. the
contract in the present case would be
illegal and unauthorized. But the city of
San Antonio is not complaining. On the
contrary the contract is recognized by the
city, and as long as it is so recognized ly
the city through its properly constituted
authorities it cannot be vacated by
plaintiff upon that ground. Plaintiff does
not show that as a tax payer he has right
of action by reason of any injury to him
from the contract of October, 1887 1t
does not appear that he is prevented from
obtaining water upon any better terms, or
under the city'S contract with the com
pany was compelled to get water from the
company.
1t does appear, however, that the release
OF the cOmpany'S property from taxation
under the supplemental act of January,
1881, operates to the injury of plaintiff,
as the exemption served to increase the
rate of taxation upon other property
The city had no such right to exempt
see city of Austin VS.. Gas company. 90
Texas, lS7.
1t is accordingly held that under plain
titl'S allegations Of injury resulting to him
as tax payer from the exemption by the
city of the property of the water works
company, thereby increasing the rate of
taxation on his property. and compelling
him to pay higher taxes than he would
otherwise be required to do, he is entitled
TO maintain this suit. For error in dis
missing the suit it should be reversed ana
