Household Hints.

Buy a boiled lobster only if he has
his tail kinked up under him, because
that shows that the lobster was strong
and muscular when he was put into
the boiling water.
Silk may be restored by sponging,
and while quite damp it should be
rolled on broomstick and left until
quite dry. This may take twelve
hours or more. Silk should never be
ironed.
Soiled places on bed or pillow ticks
are improved if covered thickly with
moistened starch and placed in the hot
sunshine When the starch has dried,
rub the spots which it has covered Wig
orously with the dry starch.
Moisten the buttonholes of starched
collars, wristbands or cuffs little ION
the wrong side) before attempting to
button them or to insert cuff buttons;
they will more easily button, and the
buttonholes will keep longer intact.
Salt thrown on Goals when broiling
steak will prevent blazing from the
dripping fat. When contents of pot
or pan boil over, or are spilled, throw
on salt at once. 1t will prevent disa-
greeable odor, and the stove or range
may be more readily cleaned.
Do not fail to oil the wringer every
time you wash If oiled often there
is less wear on the machinery, and less
strength is expended by the operator.
To clean the rollers, rub them first
with u cloth saturated with kerosene
oil, and follow with soap and water.
Always loosen the rollers before put
ting the wringer away.
To eat a soft-boiled egg daintily and
without accident to fingers or napkin
is coveted accomplishment. A great
improvement upon the china egg cup
is the little graceful affair made of
twisted wire called an "egg-holder. p"
On its standard is the cup proper,
while at the top rests tiny circular
knife which removes the end of the
shell smoothly, leaving an opening for
the egg spoon.
When fatirons become rough or
soiled, place a little fine salt on a paper
and rub them back and forth over it.
Put little beeswax between two pieces
of cloth and keep near the ironing
table. If the irons get coated with
scorched starch, rubbing them over
the cloth will usually remove it. When
ironing starched goods, rub the irons
over bit of sandpaper before return
ing them to the stove.
The broken pieces and crusts of
bread not fit for toast may be put into
pan and dried, not Drowned, in a
cool oven. Better leave the door open
or you may forget them. When thor
oughly dry roll them on all old bread
board; sift through coarse sieve; put
them into glass jar or tin box and
stand them aside for breading Gro.
quettes, outlets or oysters. This will
save the purchase Of cracker crumbs.
Flannels must be washed in water
of uniform temperature. Whether it
be hot. lukewarm or cold does not so
much matter, but for the best results
the water must be of like temperature
for the several processes, all of which,
including drying, should be conducted
with despatch. Wash quickly, rinse
quickly, dry quickly, is the injunction
for washing fannels. Woolens should
never be allowed to freeze dry. Freez.

of the machinery has arrived in Ell
Paso and is being shipped to that
point, where it is unloaded ard ready
to be put together. 1.-THE large scale
upon which the promoters of this mill
are starting in would make lots of these

Supt. Greig to the HERALD man. 1.-THE

consigned to Alamogordo. The ma

paratus. This rail bending machinery
will be erected under direction of Burt
Stimson at Alamogordo and will be
used for bending the rails
which are to be laid in the
short curves that are made by the
Sacramento mountain line. The cur

Around Town.

The HERALD reporter on his rounds
during the last week has heard good
many nice things said about the nag
in the park and the nice pole from
which it floats.
The reporter was taking to as tranger
at the Vendome hotel the other alter
noon, and he said: II didn't think that
there was much patiotism this far out
west, but the first sight that caught
my eyes when got off the q. b. Train
was that magnificent old flag, inere
is lots of meaning, expressed by tnat
flag OF free nation, and curious Ieel-
ing thrills every citizen when he sees
it,
The other night when the Mexican
Central train was coming over the
river, and was stopped on the brloge,
one of the customs inspectors mao
small flag pinned on his coat. IN one
end OF the car there were three men
sitting close to one another: one OF the
men caught sight of that little nag.
and exclaimed: "Thst is the best Old
flag that ever was, and you don't know
how good it is to be where you can
see it once more. Those stars LOOK
brighter to me now since have been
so long away from them, than they
ever did before. He who has not been
away from it really doesn't appreciate
how good it makes you feel to get
back home and see that flag.
The other day Herald reporter was
told by one of our oldest citizens. that he
always thought the plaza needed some.
thing but not until this pole was put
up did he know what it was that was
missing, uand it was the pole and nag
This same gentleman said, 81 think
the town Is benefited fully to the
amount of money that was subscribed
for the whole celebration, even II the
people hadn't received another thing
except that flag; for it lends bright
ness to the plaza that it has never
had before"
The following may not conform to
all the rules of poetry, but IL has very
wholesome idea to commend it:
THE FLAG OF Ell PAsO.
The flag of Ell Paso went up with all JOYS
And may it forever float over the American
boys.
Our flag waves above all,
And may it never fall.
Our flag, our own flag, we love dearer than
all.
Our flag waves over the U. g.. Cuba and the
Philippines too,
And to our flag our own dear flag, be true
And ask Of God to save your red, white and
blue.

Independence Day Notice.

The final meeting OF the committees
who had charge of the Independence
Day celebration will take place on
July 18th at Judge Leigh Clark's office.
All committees are asked to attend
and affairs will be closed up.
The auditing committee had meet
ing yesterday morning, and are in high
spirits as they find they will have just
about enough money to pay for every
thing.
The HERALD'S reporter was told by
two of the alderman that their consti-
tuents, who we're tax payers, were
growing about their being compelled
to pay for the pole in the plaza. which
every body knows is one of the great
est improvements to the park that
could possibly be made. These two
did not represent the council, however.
1t seems now that these calamity
howlers howled just little bit too
soon, as the committee will have money
enough to psy for the pole too.

Fire..

Last night an alarm of fire was
turned in from Utah street. On arriv.
ing at the place of the fire it was found
to be more smoke than fire, neverthe-
less it was a good thing the depart
ment came when they did as in few
minutes there would have been q good
blaze.
On investigation it was found that q
Mexican family who live ina little one
story brick building had gone to the
plaza concert and left big dish pan
full of rags and other trash smolder-
ing go as to smoke out mosquitoes. 1t
seems the fire didn't smolder for it
began to blaze and the timely arrival
of the department he AIDED it off.

Colonel Baylor,

Col. Baylor of Ysleta has been trying
to get an appointment ever since the
present war began Tor colonelcy in
the United States volunteer forces
that have been called for and up to
the present time has been unable
to get it.
Colonel Baylor is we'll known in
his many friends that he has failed,
for he deserves some recognition al
the hands of the government, as being
q man we'll versed in the methods OF
war, and one who has kept up with the
many advancements made in the army.
Colonel Baylor unlike many of the
so-called colonies, earned hi commits
sion by hard fight during the civil
war. He was promoted-un times
for bravery, and his untiriig efforts
for the betterment of his battalion.
He was commissioned Lieutenant
colonel by Jefferson Davis
and was afterwards promotedto a full
colonelcy by Gen. Magruder.
The colonel was in command of that
hard fighting Texas cavalry regiment
the 33rd, which was mustered into
service at the beginning of the war
and served until the surrender of APP
pomattox.
OOiOhOA ooylO iC0SCo tOuOiTOW lOT
Atlanta, Ga. where the annualreunion
of the old Confederate Veterans will
be in session. The colonel expects to
meet many of his old comrades and
will no doubt have q good time, talking
over war times.
The last reunion which he amended
was the one held at Houston, Texas,
about five years ago, and many are the
tales he tells of the good times had
around the Bivousc fires in the camps
there.
At this encampment at Houston
there were many who wore the blue
on the northern side of the conflict.
Both those who wore the blue and
those of the gray would sit around the
fires telling jokes on their com.
rades and asking after a
each others comrade, and many were
the good things said of those who
were unable to attend the reunion be-
cause they had gone to answer that
trumpet that shall never call retreat.
