at 'sSaw-lee-da." Once in a while one
is found who calls it ''C-lee-dah."
There are SO ma ny different ways of
pronouncing the name that it causes
much trouble to trainmen and often
leads to serious disputes.
To such a condition has it come that
when a Rio Grande brakeman gets his
pay and struts around with his pocket
full of money he is likely to say ''Saw-
lee-da," and when he gets his board
bill paid and his name mopped off the
slate uptown and finds himself in a
dilapidated condition financially, he
fatty says ''Say-lye-day" without any
computations of conscience. j All this
makes the people of the town feel sore.
for they have the Trademarks money in
their pockets and ''Say-lye-day" sounds
very commonplace to Them * 49, =
The name Salida has caused more an
noyance than the pronunciation of Ar

bylegislation. Col. Hooper. of the Rio

Salida matter up and have it settled.
1t is likely that he will name a com.
mittee to whom will be intrustcd the
matter. DR.. OConnor, the chief sur.
geon, will probably be an the commit
tee, also Hotel Manager Thayer and
Chief Engineer Rogers. 1t is said that
the doctor favors the ''Saw-lee-dah'
twist, but Mr.. Rogers thinks the best
way is to strike tangent and adopt
the pronunciation adopted by the
porters, "Sly-da." 1t is likely that a
compromise can be reached and the
matter settled for all time to come

"A Bad Practice.

Washing the hands in the water to
which ammonia has been added is a
very common recommendation. This
would be we'll enough, perhaps, il the
supplementary processes were correct
ly given, but the direction is simply
for putting a little of this substance
into the water in which the hands are
washed. Somebody follows these di-
-rections, and finds the hands rough
and disagreeable almost beyond cndur-
ance. Some day the victim of this
foolish practice makes np her mind
that maybe ammonia doesn't agree
with her, and forthwith discontinues
it's use. The fact is that ammonia is
absolutely unfit for the. toilet unless
its effects are, carefully removed by
some ouita bic agent. 1t Is strongly al
ka1ine and destroys the natural oil on
and near the surface of the skin, leav-
ing it rough, crackly and with de-
cided tendency to chap and wrinkle
After the use Of soap of any sort or
any alkaline preparation the hands
should be thoroughly washed in clean
water and rubbed with some soothing

Care Of the Sick Room.

A sick-room that needs cleaning can
be made fresh and sweet without
sweeping and without dust by wiping
everything in it with a cloth wrung
out of warm water in which there are
few drops of ammonia. The rugs
and draperies. though there should not
be any in the room. the doctors tell us,
may be put upon the line for a thor
ough airing and wiped in the same
way. The feather buster, which
should be banished because it does no
real good anywhere except to stir up
and redistribute the dust, is especially
out of place in the sick-room, where
there may be, and dou btless often are,
germs of disease in the innocent-lool<-
ing dust. If q patient is in nervous
state, a screen may be placed in front
of the bed while the freshening goes
on. If the room can only be heated by
a stove, the noise of putting in coal can
be deadened by wrapping the coal in a
paper before putting on the fre.-N.
