high-back chairs. Dining-room chairs
ought to be thoroughly comfortable,
but nothing is gained by making them
nigh enough to support the head, or
in running little steeples mp along

the dining-room to need much support
II the chair backs reach up to the
shoulder blades they are quite high

they tempt diners to slumber at the
table, which is bad manners. Another
objection to the very high backed
chairs is that walters or mattresses of
ordinary stature find them a serious
hinderance to the prompt distribution
OF food. A short waitress can not take
short cut over chair back four or
i've feet high. She must steer her
dishes around the corners of such
chairs, and that is more of an incon-
venience and detriment to good wait

broken stone is generally more uniform
In size, more nearly cubical in shape
and has sharper angles than that
broken by machine and is undoubtedly
superior to the machine made road
metal; but the latter. when properly /,
assorted or screened. has been found to
meet every requirement In breaking
by hand two steel-faced hammers of
different weights are used. One,
weighing from FIVE to six pounds, is
used for sledging the powders and
large pieces into smaller sizes, and the
other, small steel-faced hammer
weighing about one pound and having
. strong flexible handle, is used for
breaking the stones into proper size for
use on the road. In breaking by hand |
q skilled laborer will break from one
half a cubic yard to three or four cubic
yards per day, according TO the skill Of
the workman and the toughness of the
stone. Of the toughest stone one-half

will be broken at the rate of one to one

The allotment of lands in severalty to
the Mescalero Apaches and the opening
of the remainder of the reservation to
settlement, would undoubtedly be the
proper thing to do. No such order has as
yet been made, however, nor is it likely
to be soon if the people in Lincoln, Eddy
and Dona Ana counties do not bestir
themselves, and get the matter before the
proper officials at Washington. In such
an undertaking they could doubtless
count on much aid from Ell Paso, and
through her reach the Texas congress
sional delegation. The prize is worth
striving for.

POPUlISTS AND REFORM.

The Colorado Legislature has adjourned
after session lasting over fifty days an6
during which time nothing was accom-
plished but the useless expenditure of q
large sum of money. The extra session
cost the state $4,000 and but two bills
were passed, one authorizing the expen
diture of $4,000 for bridge across 6
river and another for the building of g
canal to cost $4,000.
This session is but another illustration
of the danger commonwealth runs when
it allows the Populist party to secure
control of its machinery.
And yet, there are those who would de-
lude the people of this territory into the
belief that the Populist party stands for
reform. The party is lead by lot of
sorehead politicians who seek personal
ACKNOWLEDGMENT to the public interests.
Stop 'em and shun 'em.
