About the Electric Light Plant.

A LIGHT representative called at
the mayors office this morning
and found His Honor busily en-
gagged preparing for the Council
meeting this afternoon. In speak
ing of various subjects the electric
light question came up and the
mayor said:
"There is one point regarding the
light business that the newspapers
have not considered, and that is
the rate that is being paid for cleo
trio light by the private consumers.
The proposition of the San Antonio
Gas company is to furnish the city
with light at 40 cents. The private
consumer is, at the same time, pay
ing 81. Now the citizens will
doubtless favor new plant from
some outside company. Can we
grant another company the right
to erect poles in this city to furnish
light to private consumers, and
then erect our own poles on the
streets? No, we can't do it, for
there would be no room. My idea
is, to erect a city plant and then, in
case an outside company applies
for permit, we can rent our poles
to them and derive large sum for
the use of the city"

Apples.

Chemically the apple is composed OF
vegetable fiber, albumen, sugar, gum
chlorophyl, malic acid, gallo acid, lime and
much water Furthermore, the German
analysts say that the apple contains Il
larger percentage Of Phosphorus than any
other fruit or vegetable The phosphorus
is admirably adapted for renewing the es-
sential nervous mattCr-ltcithin--o the
brain and spinal cord.
1t is perhaps for the same reason rude
ly understood that old Scandinavian ira
ditions represent the apple as the food of
the gods, who, when they felt themselves
to be growing feeble and inRrm resorted
to this fruit, renewing their powers of
mind and body. Also, acids of the apple
are of singular use for men of sedentary
habits, whose livers are sluggish in action,
those acids serving to eliminate from the
body noxious matters, which, il retained,
would make the brain heavy and dull or
bring about jaundice or skin eruptions and
other allied troubles.
Some such experience must have led to
he custom Of taking apple sauce with
roast pork, rich goose and like dishes.
The malic acid of ripe apples, either raw
or cooked, will neutraliZe any excess of
chalky matter engendered by eating too
much meat. 1t is also the fact that such
ripe fruits as the apple, the pear and the
plum, when taken ripe and without
sugar diminish acidity in the stomach,
rother than provoke it. Their vegetable
sauces and iJic2s are converted into aka
line c.,rHlu"les, which tend to counteract

Clever Expedient.

A story is told of a certain French sing
er which shows that he possessed not only
musical ability, but an admirable pres
ence of mind. On the occasion of his first
appearance at Moulins he was not in good
voice, and his vocal efforts were greeted
with Kisses loud and prolonged from the
disappointed audience. Without appear
ing to be in the least moved by this I'M
pleasant reception, the young artist looked
calmly down at the crowd of listeners and
Baid
"Gentlemeen, it is a pity to hear you
whistle so badly. Allow me to give you a
lesson"
Upon that he began TO whistle in most
exquisite manner the varied airs of an OPP
era of Halevy's which was very popular at
the time. At this unexpected tn n of af-
fairs first silence and then loud applause
succeeded to the rude kissing, and from
that time on, whether he sang or whis-
tied, the young artists success was as
sured with the Rourbonese public
