THE COW BELL NUISANCE.

TO the Light:
The owner of our old long-horn COW
owners of good COWS generally keep
them at home and feed them-may not
like the ordinance introduced by AL
derman Surkey to extend the $50
called COW bell' ordinance from the
second to the three mile circle in its
application, but as tn majority of his
neighbors may know of no just rea-
son, why the ordinance should not be
adopted, under suspension of the
rules, at the very next session, we
would advise such owner to read pc
tition now with the city clerk from cit
liens of the Sixth ward, which makes
it appear plain that not only belled
animals but the nailmal itself should
be denied the privilege of opening
gates, destroying fences, eating up
strawberries and in numerous ways,
interfering with the peaceful slum-
bers of the Sixth warders. Take off
the animal, feed it at home, and sell
the bell as old metal, seems to be the
demand of some of the best people OF
the Sixth ward and the other wards
may be similarly situated. S.

Being military post, it is also the
headquarters of the Fifth regiment OF
U. S. cavalry and the department Of
Texas.
Lieut.. Col. Whitside, the present
commander of the Fifth cavalry, has
his headquarters here. He also COM
mands the post as well as his regi-
ment, and has nearly nine hundred
men under him at the post, six COM
panies of infantry, four troops of cav
airy, one battery of artillery and the
regimental band, of his regiment, to-
gether with their commanding officers,
constituting the command.
These are all stationed in the upper,
or new post where the flag staff is To-
Gated. On the lower post are the res
licences of the department officers, Gen.
Graham, the commander and staff.
The lower grounds being older, are the
prettiest, the shrubbery in the yards
being exquisite.
On the lower parade grounds the
parade and drills of the cavalry and
artillery are conducted and on the up

tact the frame or network. One plan is
to subject the leaves to a boiling in
strong soapsuds. or, if preferred, a
bath of lime and washing soda in the
proportion of 2 cupfuls of lime to
Q cupfuls of soda and gallon of
water. The boiling should continue I'M
til the outer coating or pulp is soft
enough to be removed by rather stiff
brush. A contributor to The Ladies'
Home Journal who has skeletonized
leaves for 40 years finds the following
method best, thought it is slowest Of
all:
1t consists in letting the leaves ROT
spontaneously in rainwater. Take earth
enware vessels holding gallon or so Of
rainwater, and into each put number
of leaves, permitting them to remain
exposed and without changing. If the
leaves are placed in first and the water
poured over them boiling hot, time will
be saved.
Arriving at the sticky stage, the
leaves are to be taken out and washed
by shaking them in fresh water. Then
place them in shallow earthenware
pan. Steady them by pressing gently on
the stalk, and with the disengaged fin
gers or with brush remove the decay
ed portion. The leaves that are clear
and perfectly free form cuticle may be
deprived of their moisture by pressing
in towel until thoroughly dry. The
safest way to take delicate specimen
from the vessel is to slip under it q
piece of paper, and when the leaf rests
upon the paper smoothly it may, by
taking proper care in handling, be lift
ed without danger.
The process Of bleaching is simple.
Dissolve 2 tablespoonfuls of chloride
of lime in gallon Of water, and in
this solution immerse the leaves until
they assume the proper degree Of white
ness This may be in half an hour OF
an hour-some leaves will take even
longer. The operation will be expedited
by adding to the solution tablespoon
full Of vinegar. From this bath the
leaves should be transferred to clear
water and allowed to remain few
minutes, when they should be lifted
with small piece of muslin instead of
paper and dried between old muslin.
The leaves are finished after they have
been pressed in books or put under
weight for short time.
A slight knowledge of the chemical
properties of the leaves is necessary
The oak, chestnut, elm, willow, syoa-
more, walnut, hazel, birch and hickory
all contain tannin, which prolongs their
decomposition, impregnates the water
and renders other and more perishable
leaves, if placed with them, almost in
capable of becoming macerated.
1t should constantly be borhe in mind
that sound and mature leaves only can
be successfully skeletonized. nhe gath
ering should be done when tho earliest
leaves first begin to fall. An quick
growing plants are incapable of the proc
ess. Select strong, fibrous leaves rather
than the thick, pulpy ones.
Mountain laurel requires seven or
eight weeks in the macerating vessel,
but skeletonizes in few hours by the
boiling process. Norway maple, the
most beautiful of the maple family, is

pecially where so many men are sta

the hard name soldiers usually have

to find such good conduct among tile

sometimes had mumps and toothache,
that they undoubtedly worried their
