Indiridmdi Salts.

The little open salt-cellars which are
placed beside ones napkin at the table
do not commend themselves to the over
fast,dious. There is altogether too much
chance of sharing some one elscs salt in
IL 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 refilled before
each meal. salt srters are open to no
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 salt
that is for sale now and that IL warrant

the boy who was shot in an uptown
