citizen, will answer.
The people may not understand the
difference between q Glow truss" and
q "high truss" bridge; the bridges
over Houston and Commerce streets
are slow truss"
The Glow truss'' costs much more
than "high truss" The bridge now
being finished over st. Mary's street
is cheaper one than that contracted
for.
The bridge intended for Crockett
street has has been hauled up to st.
Mary's street at the convent. Who
made this order?
The so.called equalization board"
of the city should be through with
raising" the assessments Of our
property owners.
The people are told that it's not the
Homestead owners" who are the
sufferers. but the "gold bugs" and
the syndicate" people. To get the as
sessment up over five millions more
than returned by Assessor Frasch,
there must be host nf victims.
\ X X
If the addition people" can be
killed off, the growth of the city can
be stopped and the Mexican voter
will remain potent factor in local
elections.
The next thing the people will hear
will be the statement that the "city
taxes have been reduced" Yes but
the tax bill will be bigger when you
come to pay it,.
It's big thing to increase the as
sessment of our city property five
millions of dollars over the assessors
figures.
But it had to be done to raise money
enough to meet the heavy expense of
running our city government, without
making it appear that the taxes had
been increased.

4 Dish for Luncheon.

One of the things the thrifty house.
wife finds perplexing is the question of
luncheons 1t seems folly to pay visit
to the butchers for fresh meats for this
meal, and yet unless recourse is had to
the always expensive timed meats and
relishes there is frequently dearth of
material in the larder for what may be
termed the piece de resistance of this
necessary repast. A favorite dish served
in French family, whose American
luncheon is really the mother country
second breakfast, is one whose receipt
has been passed down for generations,
1--WE call it 'Mince Francais,' said the
housekeeper who gave it, "but it might
be termed with much more right family
hash,' since it is sort of compete Of
odds and ends. And here is the family
hash receipt:
The ingredients are a certain guam
THY of any cooked fresh meat chopped
as much and half more of chopped cold
boiled potatoes: as much chopped green
tomato; one-third as much chopped raw
onion; seasoning, yolk of egg and cream.
Put the onion in skillet, with a little
water, and let it cook while choppir@
the tomato, which, it should be said
must be perfectly green. Add the to
mato and cook till both are slightly ten.
der-a few minutes will suffice-hefore
adding the meat and potato. Season
we'll with salt and pepper and Il large
piece of butter. Break the egg yolk
into third Of a teacup of cream, aud
beat thoroughly. Pour over the nix.
ture in the skillet and let it simply
scald. Serve on hot platter garnsh, d
with parsley or cress. Once eaten in its
perfection this dish is never declined. '"

If you could visit two-thirds of the
]oaioirs Of tie Bar Harbor bellies you
would find them practicing the graceful
whlstliny movements before their
French mirrors. They have become
worshipers of the art Of whistling, and
so accurately do they mimic the song of
the birds that while walking through
Eden street near cluster of cottages
peopled by noted society families in
which are included many of the famous
beauties, a correspondent was sure that
a dozen hobolinks had found Il resting
place among the branches Of tn sur

Children During Hot Weather.

At this season when chilly nights occa-
sionally succeed sultry days little chill
dren are exceedingly liable to stomachio
troubles, and in the case Of an infant tho
most strenuous measures are necessary 10
keep II in health. It is great temptar
ton TO give child bit of luscious
fruit or some other apparently simple
food, but it is usually a very dangerous
experiment to try with one under two
years old. There is but one safe rule
to adhere to the simple food ordered by
the physicians.
The best remedy for disturbances Of
the stomach lies in hygienic measures.
A bandage of all wool flannel kept con-
stantly over the child's bowels at this
season and warm stockings of soft wool
kept on its feet will do more toward re-
sisting disease than all the medicines
that all the pharmacop@ias can supply.
In case of a violent attack of summer
complaint in little child, piece of soft
flannel wrung out in boiling whisky and
laid over the child's stomach as hot as II
can bear, and covered by another cloth
to keep in the heat, will frequently give
relief,
