A PINCH OF SALT.
As Necessary In Our Daily Life n
In Our Daily Food.

As Necessary In Oar Daily Life n
In Oar Daily Food.
How could we get on without salt?
In our daily food as In our daily life,
little OF It is necessary, and the absence
of 1t takes away from the favor OF ev-
erything we eat. The salt Of life"
which we hear about signifies the
health, yigor and wit which we find In
life. There was time In countries far
from the sea when primitive man new
or used salt in his food. and 1t was
only when nations advanced In civili-
zation that salt became an absolute ne
cessity.
But 1t was not alone 40 food that salt
was valued. Among the anctents salt
spring was regarded as a gift Of the
gods, and it was believed that any salt
found In the soil lent 1t peculiar sane
tity and made 1t place where prayers
were most readily heard. Every meal
that included salt had a certain sacred
character, creating a bond of piety and
friendship between host and guest;
hence the expression, There is salt
between u.s." meaning friendship. and
to be untrue to salt means to be dis
loyal or ungrateful.
In the middle ages. when all classes
and degrees eat at the same board,
they were placed according to rank,
above or below the great saltcellar,
which always stood in the middle and
marked the dividing social line. above
the SALT meant "of high degree" Be-
low the salt were the yeomanry, serfs
and vassals of the feudal days. A good
description Of this custom may be
found In "Ivanhoe" where Cedric, the
Saxon, entertains his vassals and
friends.
A pinch of salt Is always considered
lucky in cooking. To take anything
with a pinch Of salt" means to excuse
or make allowances for 1t. A salt is
sailor. To salt ones conversation
means to make It sparkle. Salt is al
ways employed In a sense of benefit or
strength.
The Bible has many references to
salt, among them being rye are the
salt of the EARTH" Matthew v. IS. and
St Paul says Let your speech be al
wsys with grace seasoned with salt"
Salt Is used by Catholics In baptism.
They consider 1t a symbol Of wisdom
and put few grains In the mouth OF
the person baptized.

The Big Placer Proposition Near
ing Completion.

The money needed to complete the
plant of the Nevada Company has
been secured. Oliver Lawson of New
York and Frank @. Everett returned
from their Eastern trip last Saturday.
Mr. Everett reports everything salts
factory from financial standpoint.
The digging of the four and quar-
ter miles of large ditch, together with
the extra expense of fiuming around
rocky bluffs in order to get this ditch
through better territory to hold water,
cost the Nevada Company $15, 600 more
than was at first expected. A part OF
Mr.. Everett's business East was to
raise this money, which was accom-
plished. The elevator and part of the
pipe, with giants, passed through
Gardnerville Wednesday. There was
also a five-foot Pelton water wheel,
which will be used to drive the clean
up pans. This plant, when completed,
will have a capacity of 2,700 tons every
"a hours. 1t is expected that the ele-
vator will be in operation by the first
of August.

kae Didn't Understand.

A little fellow out West Roxbury
way some ten years old, perhaps
twelve, bested his grandmothers the
other day rather neatly. All three
were at the table when one of the la
dies casually mentioned the name Of
the family nurse. Immediately the
little fellow wanted to know who the
lady was. One grandma innocently re-
marked that It was the nurse that took
care Of the boy when he was born.
But why didn't mamma take care
of me? was her baby, wasn't IT'
queried the little fellow. True" says
grandma; "but, you see. mamma doesn't
understand how to look after little ba-
bies, particularly the first one, and we
have to have nurses who have learned
how in the hospitals" That seemed to
settle 1t, but all of sudden the little
fellow blurted out. well, then, who
took care of ?"-Boston Traveller.

Let Us Practice.

The Carson News copied our item of
last week concerning the bad condi-
ton of the fire engine, and made a
whole lot of fun of our fire department.
1t says that not only is the engine out
OF fix, but that no one here seems to
know how to operate it when it is in
order. The editor of the News, who
was here during the Fourth of July
celebration, when an attempt was
made to use the machine to wet down
the streets, says it was the funniest
thing on the program. He suggests
that we take her out occasionally and
practice, so that when we have use for
her we won't lose any time expert
menting. The suggestion is good
one, and should be adopted. Brother
Lennon expresses good idea every
once in a while.

One Of the bugbears of old time peO-
pie is night air. and there is little ex-
aggeration In saying that the supersti-
ton against night air has killed more
people than the free circulation OF 1t
has ever injured. There is abundance
Of proof that night air IL injurious to
no one. On the contrary. people who
sleep outdoors under the mere protec-
ton OF tent are the healthiest of all
people, and the practice has largely
gained in popularity of late years un-
der wider knowledge Of hygiene for
people In delicate health to go In
camping parties and breathe the bal
sam Of the night air. The vigor gained
from few weeks Of such an outing is
a marked proof that the old prejudice
against night air is as foolish as most
other old wives Exchange.

The Gypsies Came.

A band of Gypsies arrived at this
place Monday afternoon. They came
from Carson. The women of this
lot are said by the Carson papers to be
grafters from away back. Their main
trick, of course, is telling fortunes,
which does no particular harm, and
affords amusement to some people,
They carry a side line of peter funk
jewelry and cheap silverwear, and are
said to be very shrewd in disposing of
it at stiff prices. Look a little out
if you buy from them. The men of
the party, as usual, trade horses. One
of the mustangs they brought with
them was traded off before they got
their tents up. The new owner put a
saddle on her, and she displayed an
inclination to buck. In the evening a
small boy led Shetland pony belong
ing to them up the street, and several
of the smaller children rode him.
Somebody put George Browns little
son on him, and the little fellow began
kicking him in the TANKS with his
heels. The pony objected, and in a
few jumps deposited the boy on the
hard road, much to the amusement OF
the bystanders. The little fellow must
have been pretty badly shaken up, as
he was taken sick shortly afterwards,
and vomited his supper.

HE regular meeting of the city
council last Monday night
was in many respects one of the most
interesting and important in its his.
tory, and it is probable that its
legislation at that time will have an
influential bearing upon the future
welfare and prosperity of the COM
munity
As it was generally known that
matters of unusual consequence would
come up for consideration there was a
large attendance of citizens interested
in the measures to be introduced. the
chief of which was the petition of
Thomas Robinson of Florence for a
franchise to construct and operate an
electric railway through certain
streets of this city. II had been
intimated that two franchises for an
electric road would be asked for. one
by Mr. Robinson and the other by
Frank II. whiting of Denver. and
this fact contributed to the public in.
turest in the matter. rousing as it did
n general curiosity ss to which of the
applicants would secure the coveted
prize.
After the usual routine business,
consisting of the reports of standing
committees. etc, had been transacted.
the franchise question came up for n
hearing. but the committee TO which
IL had been intrustcd was not ready
to report and asked further time tor
the consideration of its provisions
The petitioners for the franchise
alluded to expressed desire TO have
some disposition made of the matter
rs quickly as possible and the mayor
granted an Adjournment; of half an
hour to allow the franchise committee
to 20 into executive session and con-
slider the applications of Messrs.
Robinson and whiting. At the end

had, by the deathso of his father. taken
the courtesy title of Lord Glentworth,
but he died q few weeks before his
grandfather, the earl OF Limerick.
The untimely death of her husband,
after eight years of married life, pre-
Tented Maria Villebois from becoming
more than a courtesy viscountess-a
title she retained after her second
marriage. 1t is sixty-four years since
Disraeli wrote, on the death of Lord
Glentworth: The lady survives, but
does not find herself a countess after

Lady Glentworth is not able 60 walk

weakness to be detected In her at her
advanced age. Even when over 80
years old she was daily abroad in her
pony carriage paying attention to
every detail of life upon her farm.

THE whole scheme is very simple
and has proved a safeguard against
some of the bugaboos that worry
baakers-such things as ~overdrafts
for instance. Every day at moor one
bank will call up another by tele-
phone, read off the amount of the
checks and the names Of the drawers.
Some OF these checks will b, on the
bank at the other end of the wire and
some OF them will be drawn or an In
