BUILD A MARKET HOUSE.

To the Light.
Build us a market house, Bryan"
says the Light man, and old Santone
answers: Second the notion 1t is
surely the next great improvement
Il city needs. Look at Our market
people around the city hall, how
they are exposed to the weather with
out shelter in the rainy or cold or
burning sunny days and notice the
primitive arrangements for handling
the market products! If it were only
for this one purpose: The selling of
fruit and vegetables, the market peO-
pie would be benefited, but there are
several other important causes which
demand the erection of a large mar
ket hall. One of them is from a sani-
tary point of view as well as finan-
cial, and then one separate wing of
the market hall could be built and
used for a much needed city prison.
The revenues from the market stalls
for vegetables, fruit, bailed hay wood
meat and other market products
would bring the city a nice little sun
yearly, besides the benefit of imprOv'
ing the city with a fine and commo
diOus market hall. Keep the bal

THE EXPRESS SAYS SOMETHING

The following from our morning
contemporary is so much in keeping
with what the Light has advocated for
many years, we heartily endorse the
sentiment therein, and republish it,
that it may be more generally read
throughout the city:
San Pedro park is the largest and
most beautiful reservation owned by
the city and it should be gradually
improved and always well taken care
of and policed. The methods employed
in caring for this park for some time
past have not produced the best re-
suits possible. Instead of leasing the
refreshments privilege in return for
care and guardianship, any income
that can be derived from the park
should be in cash and this cash should
be expended directly by the city. The
| control of the park should be in the
hands of the city and not in the hands
Of some one holding concessions there
in. A guardianship founded upon the
latter plan Is sure to be conducted at
a minimum expense possibly to the
neglect of the park. A police paid by
others than the city is not apt to feel
that accountability to the municipal
fly. nor to exercise its authority i'm.
partially in the interest of good order,
should those interests clash with those
of the private employer. San Pedro
park is n of the show places Of San
San Antonio daily light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1886-1907, 1897-03-30

Antonio and a great resort for the
people of the city. 1t should be kept
clean and attractive, improved as fast
as the income will allow, and so well
policed as to entirely free it from OBJ
iectionable or dangerous features

The Topo Chico baseball team,
yclept Ford DiX's Indians, played in
Monterey, Mex, yesterday, defeating
the Reineros of Monterey by a score
of 80 to 6 in five innings. The Indians

men are making on the grand stand
and fence. The grand stand has been
moved back thirty feet and work on
the east wing has begun and will be
completed by tomorrow. The bleach
erS have been extended and are now
about twice their former size. The
west fence has been moved back and
is all up. The right-tield fence has
been moved back and work has COM
menced in moving the east and north
fences. Nothing has yet been done to
the diamond and outfield. The dia-
mond is in pretty good shape, but the
outfield needs narrowing and the SER
vices of a heavy roller to make it
hard, smooth and level.

Study of Art for Girls.

Il wish 1 could make my girls I'M
derstand." writes Ruth Ashmore, ad-
dressing 1.-THE Girl Who Aspires TO
Art" in the Ladies' Home Journal,
"that while each one should aspire to
tho best work, that girl is foolish who,
having been once made conscious of
her mistake, persists in offering medi-
OGRE work that deserves no recognition
whatever. If you feel that you have
the artistic instinct and the love for
color, then seek for yourself a good art
school, and find out in what branch of
work your ability lies; you will then be
more apt to attain the position you
long for than if you are content with
self-culture. 1t is a practical impossi-
bility for you to teach yourself. II
you have foolishly believed all the
praise that has been given you then be
sure you will never succeed. You will
be wasting your money in going to any
school. Put out of your pretty head
some of the silly fancies that are there.
The girl who learns to draw a good
wallpaper design, who learns how to
combine colors so that a rich-looking
rug is the result, who understands how
to embellish a book with a suitable
cover-she is the girl who can be called
an artist. She does not ask the world
to look upon her from a sentimental
point of view, because she has claims
to distinction and can demand recogni-
ton"

Living In the tx

The regulation miners cabin is IL
by IA, with walls six feet high and ga
bles eight feet in height. The roof is
heavily earthed and the cabin is gen.
orally kept very warm. Two, or some
times three or four men will live in a
house of this size. The ventilation is
usually bad, the windows being very
small. Those miners who do not work
their claims during the winter confine
themselves to these small huts most of
the time. Very often they become
indolent and careless, only eating those
things which are most easily cooked
or prepared. During the busy time in
summer, when they are shoveling in,
they work hard and for long hours,
sparing little time for eating and much
less for cooking.
This manner Of living is quite COM
mon amongst beginners, and soon leads
to debility and sometimes to scurvy.
Old miners have learned from expert
ence to value health more than gold,
and they therefore spare no expense in
procuring the best and most varied
outfit of food that a be obtained

NATURE MOCKs AN INFIDEL.
A Seed Answers n Dying Countess
Challenge to God.

A Seed Answers n Dying COuntcss'
Challenge to God.
In the town of Hanover, in Ger
many, there is buried a German count
ess who denied the existence of God
and riGiculed the idea of the resurrec-
ton. TO further show her contempt
for Christianity, she ordered that on
her death her grave should be built up
of solid masonry and covered by large
stones bound together with iron
clamps. On this tomb vas engraved
her defiant challenge that through
eternity this tomb should never be dis
turbed.
But IL day the seed from some tree,
either blown by the wind or carried by
some bird, became lodged in a small
creyice of the tomb, where soon it
sproutcd and began to grow. And
then. as if nature had seemed to mock
the naughty infidel, she quietly ex-
tended the delicate roots Of that seed
ling under the massive blocks OF stone
and slowly raised them from their
places. And now, although scarcely
four generations are passed since that
tomb was sealed, that most insignii-
cant Seeding has accomplished what
God himself was challenged to accom-
plish.-Ladies' Home Journal.

TIPPING,
How Paris Waiter. Manage to Live

now Paris Walters Manage to Live
Without Receiving u Salary.
An English resident has investigated
the extent of the tipping habit in Paris
restaurants, and has brought to light
some interesting figures. The investi-
gator examined conditions in one OF
the largest restaurants in the city, and
found that from tips the walters aver
age $50 a month each. The custom
there is to put the tips in a box which
is opened every fortnight by the head
waiter and the contents distributed.
The breakage amounts to 5000 a month,
proprietor half. OF course, the walters
get no salary, it being we'll understood
that they are paid by their pour
boire" or tip. In some cases the pro-
prietor pays old hands from SIS to $40
a month. Head walters get from $40
to 500 a month. The walters also get
a commission on all the wines and CT
gars they can sell outside. Inside the
house the cellarers only get commits
sions on the wines sold to guests. The
Partisan walters do not favor the abo-
lition of the tipping system. Under it
they sometimes make $50 a month, and
DOE save enough to set up in business
for themselves, which is the great OBJ
ject in life of every Frenchman. Tips
in Paris IRE higher than in New York,
and are given by the initiated with
good grace, as it is well understood
that they are the only source of in
come of the walters. Some time ago
the walters in a Paris restaurant struck
because the proprietor wished a per-
centage of the tips. Such occurrences
are, however, in%frequent. The gener-
Gus man finds ample opportunity in
Paris; he may tip the %cellarer, who
brings his wine; the head waiter, who
ushers him to his seat. and the waiter
who puts on the dishes.

A Golden Floor.

King George II was once invited out
to dine with a wealthy and eccentric
old duke, who possessed more money
than he knew very well what to do
with. Upon this occasion, wishing to
impress his majesty with the immen-
sity Of his riches. he had the floor of
the dining room paved from end to end
with sovereigns, the heads being up.
Each coin was stuck in a mixture Of
lime, which soon dried. leaving the
precious ''tile" securely fastened. When
the king arrived, and was shown what
had been done in his honor, his amaze
ment knew no bounds, and. it was with
dificulty he could be persuaded to set
foot upon the golden floor.
