When the daily vessels to be scald-
ed are cold remember that the first
application Of boiling water does not
scald them properly, the coldness Of
the tin reducing the temperature of
the water below the scalding point.
The only certain way Of scalding tin
pals and pans is to apply the scalding
water after the vessels have been
heated by a preliminary rinsing in hot
water.

E. H. Rollins and N. w. Harris
Make the Highest Offer, Civ.
ing High Premiums

San Francisco's credit in
the money market Of the ma
ton was thoroughly tested
yesterday when the board of
supervisors opened the bids
on $3,28O,00O worth of her
school, hospital, sewer and
fire protection bonds, and
San Francisco may be abun-
dainty satisfied with the re-
suit.

times over; with 10 Individual
bidders competing to take the en-
tire amount; with the highest
bid on the S3,2SO,O00 of par value
for a total of $3,514,52O, giving
the city a premium of over 7 per
cent and reducing the net inter-
est on the 5 per cent bonds to a
figure less than four and a half per
cent-the announcement OF Supervisor
Giannini in the board meeting that
yesterdays bond sale was the most ad-
vantageous from the city's standpoint
of any municipal bond sale held in the
United States during the last five years
was fully justified
The highest bid was made by E H.
Rollins & Sons and N w. Harris &
Co pooling their interests
The total subscription to the bonds
yesterday footed UP nearly $40, ,000. .000-
The number of bids presented was 101.
The supervisors were amazed at the
number of bidders and gratiied at the
premiums generally offered Yester-
days opening demonstrated that San
Francisco can obtain all the money she
needs for her municipal Improvement

ton of the s2O.OOO.O0O Sierra water

lines. but / want to speak of the city
of San Francisco, one of the finest in
the world. The work you have done
commands the highest admiration.
The improvements you have made have
been along good lines. You have good
buildings, many of them, and 1 am
glad to see that they are not too high.
Many of the eastern cities are destroy
ing their beauty in the struggle for
height, thereby depriving themselves
OF light. In my opinion you will have
greater concentration of business
than before the fire. In my opinion
1t is going to be, during the coming
generation, great advantage, this
destruction. 1t has enabled you to do
things and make improvements which
otherwise would have been impossible
After the big disaster we all did
our share, none more than another.
When you look back at the records, at
the little loss of life. that is testimony
to the fact that each one took good
care of the other.
OTTER l have thought after a period
OF great nervous force and trouble
and wondered If it were not better to
settle down to quiet life. Often
times there comes to man period
of discomfort. but such meetings as
these are ample compensation for all
that man has DONE
Gentlemen, thank you for your
courtesy and hope this will lead to a
better understanding between u.s.

WHAT EDISON ADVISES.

To look upon his fresh and al
most youthful face, suggests the
thought that he should be asked for
q prescription for longevity. Forty
years of concentrated work. with an
average of 16 hours a day, under
the following rules. is apparently
what has kept Mr.. Edison young:
Eat lightly; sleep lightly; work.
for work is more restful than sleep
ing or idling. Four hours of good
sleep is better than eight of restless
slumber. Alcohol scatters thought;
tobacco stimulates 1t I'D.
1t seems that Mr.. Edison usually
arises at five O'Clock in the morning.
walks among the trees and birds in
summertime, and does some little
odds and ends of reading until the
people arrive on the scene. Break
fast is at six-thIirty, and then he
works until noon. when light lunch
is sent to him in the laboratory, and
he eats nothing more until his six
o'clock dinner. He usually arrives
when the desert is being put on the
table, but he leaves the dining room
with the rest of the family, as about
five minutes at the table suffices for
his modest wants. Mr.. Edison says:
Between eleven and twelve at
night have the best time with my
note books, and then, last of all
comes good sound sleep"
This is the recipe for good health
that came from the lips of man
who has been the wonder of his age
who has invented over a thousand
separate inventions, whose life is
accounted brilliant suocess, and
who is crowned with triumph such as
have rarely fallen to the lot of an
inventor during his life-time.-From
"Affairs at Washington" in May Ma
tional Magazine.
