~Indiptdual salts.

The little open salt-cellars which are
placed beside ones napkin at the table
do not commend themselves to the over
fastidious. There is altogether too much
chance of sharing some one else's salt
in a literal sense. since there is nothing
to distinguish them from each other
in the clearing of the table, and they are
by no means emptied and rctlled before
each meal. Salt sifters are open to nc
such objections, but to another equally
grave: in damp weather they won't sift
This last error can be corrected either
by purchasing the fine quality of sal,
that is for sale now and that is war
ranted not to cake, or, more cheaply
by mixing a little cornstarch or ever
-four with the salt before It is put In
the cruet. All trouble is then completely
obyiated.

Daring Safe Robbery Has Aroused
Patchoaue Citizens.

PATCHOGuE, l., l.. Sept, :5.-The citizens OF
this place held h mass meeting this forenoon to
arrange for the employ ment Of detectives to ap-
prehend the burglars who carried on a safe con
tanning several hundred dollars from the railroad
station on saturday night.
The robbery was a particularly bold one.
The safe was missed at : O'Clock Sunday morn
Ing by the station master. Immediately he gave
the alarm and formed a searching party.
Wagon tracks which showed that the vehicle
had contained a heavy weight, were followed for
Cor"in. There the safe was found badly battered
hut unopened.
1t is thought the burglars decided not to use
explosives for fear OF arousipg the people livinG
nearby.
The robbers undoubtedly belong to the same
gang that has been operating In suffolk County
for the last two months. Rewards are onered
by the citizens and the railroad company for
