LEMONS.

Lemons are used more and more freely
as warm weather comes. But no excuse
SHOULD prevent their being washed.
Don't slice lemon for tea or lemonade
or CRATE Its rind for pie or cake-dlling
without giving 1t a good rubbing in
water. Old-fashioned housekeepers sneer
at the direction Of the cooking school to
wipe all meat over with damp CLOTH
But the meat that we buy now has made
long journeys and passed through many
experiences before 1t comes to US in it's
brown wrapper. Fruit is exposed to care
less handling and often to strset dust,
and none save that in paper wrappers
can possibly be free from contamination
Once it was thought sufficient II we
avoided eating more than our peck Of
visible dirt; now with greater wisdom
we know that there are worse dangers
than Turk in sand or grit.-N. f. Farmer

Bridge Ordinance Passed.

Special Attorney Calhoun met with
the city council Saturday noon, and
the pipe and uridge ordinance, over
which there has been much discus
sion, was considered. Mr.. Calhoun
thought the ordinance embodied all
that could be expected, and though
part OF the provisions are not salts
fac ory to all the city officials, II
was finally decided in order to has
ten the brid ge reconstruction this
winter. and on tie advice of Mr..
Calhoun, to pass the measure. While
it confirms the company's use of the
bridge, the use would be of no value
in case the city wins it's suits, which
of course is confidently expected.
The council took up the ordinance
Monday evening and passed it, and
it was then approved by the mayor.
The council then considered the
bridge specifications. These pro.
vide that the timber and iron be- ia
ken: down, in order that the engineer
may readily inspect the material,
such iron and flooring as is not cou.
! demned to be used again. The city
furnishes the timber for the bridge
the sidewalks will be Ave feet in

raised and also the piers, not less
than two or not more than four feet
It is probable that the raise will be
two feet, eight inches. Stone wings
are to built to the abutments, and
the approaches will be Of earth.
After some discussion as to time o
|1eceiving bids, Dec. 80 was selected
Bids will be received up to 8 o'clock

and for raising the water pipe: Ger

for Little Falls to consider the. mat.
ter OF paving the business center.
Thousands Of dollars have been

apart, and on these are put 2x12 pine
to make solid floor Blocks of whita

Ia compaiiia holandesa de las Indias.
Ellos fueron los fundadores de la hoy
