EDITOR HERALD:@YOur position of
antagOnism to issuance of bonds as
proposed by the city council, at lis last
meeting, is eminently correct. The
council Is simply lending itself to the
furtherauce of Interior designs, on the
part of snrewd and INSCRIPTIONS spec u
Iators. The school house provision is
simply q catch, and used to desjgnedly
bind the public. The most crying
need of our city, as is we'll known to
all, is protection against overflow,
such as lately placed Ell Paso in the
miserable position of an applicant for
aims, from the state and general gov
eminent. No Issue of bonds should be
voted for by our people unless there is
q provision for Insurance against a
repetition of the late flood disaster,
and recurrence of the humiliation OF
having our growing city once again an
applicant for charity.
We could do well enough for some
time to come, without city hall, and
we could easily arrange otherwise than
through bond issue for nece ssary
repairs to existing school buildings: as
also, to provide an addltional building,
for the secoEd ward. There is a niger
in the wood pile-sure, in this scheme,
and he should be run out into the open,
by the adverse votes of the people, to
this bond scheme.
Protect the city, first of all from
flood waters, before going into luxur.-
GUS expenditures in Other directions.

Some of the Uses of Salt.

Used in washing the hair it will pre-
vent the hair from falling out.
A teaspoOnful of salt in lamp will
make kerosene Oil give brighter
light.
Added to bucket of water it forms
a remarkably effective fire extin-
guisher.
"A handful of rock salt added to the
bath is the next best thing TO an ocean
dip.
Damp salt will remove the discolor-
alton OIL tea and tte like in dishes that
have been carelessly washed.
New calicUes soaked in a strong solu-
tion of salt for an hour before wash
ing will retain their cOlOrs better.
AS u dentrifce salt and water will
not only cleanse but whiten the teeth,
and will harden the gums.
When broiiiug steak a pinch or two
of salt thrown on the fire will quench
the flames arising from the dripping
fat.
A weak solution is good for sore
throat, to be used as a gargle, and this
Is still better if a few grains of red pep
per are added.
Ink stains may be removed by the
use of mOistened salt. When it be-
comes dlscolored, remove it and use a
fr, sh supply until no color rem aims.
A weak solution of salt in water is a
good remedy for slight ind gestion, es-
pecially that characterized by d sense
of weight and oppression.

The boys at the fire department had

The boys at the fire department had
a great joke on the new engineer last
night. A couple Of Mexican boys
brought to the department small box
wrapped up in blanket and left it
just inside of the door. The new en-
gineer saw the bundle and asked one Of
the fire boys what it wac. The fireman
replied: "Oh, it's dead baby that
some MeXicans want to smuggle over
tie river tonight and bury" The en-
gineer remarked tina. it was a queer
way to conduct a funeral and thought
the boys ought to be made to carry it
some where ese as the baby might
have died of some contagious disease.
The hremen remarked that the baby
had died of small pox. This was a
startler and the engineer made himself
scarce around that part Of the house,
although it was his night on for watch.
The boys then carried the joke farther
and sent word up town for others TO
come down and make inquiries. The
joke was kept up until a late hour
before the engineer caught on and
then the two Mexican boys came along
and carried off their box and bedding.
