WELL RECEIVED.

The dog ordinance passed by the Council is well received, and so far as the Nugget is informed, every citizen owning dogs will immediately and cheerfully comply with it.
 It Is apparent that the city is not seeking to raise g revenue from the tax on dogs funther than to pay the ex pcnses or enforcing the ordinance. and the eliminating of all perquisites to the poundmaster will effectually an- swer all objections heretofore smadc that the poundmaster takes up only the valuable dogs and leaves the woythless CUTS to run at large; also that former poundmasters have actually taken dogs off chains or from enclosures of the owners in order to swell their fees
 The provision for public notice of the impending of dogs giving the names of the owners as ascertained by the number on the tag. does away win the objection that valuable dogs are taken up in order to effect private sales to benefit the poundmaster.
 Under the ordinance children now have the undisputed run of the city from seven o'clock in the morning till ten at nfght-ample time for any we'll regulated youngster to range. After that the dogs have sufficient time in which to take their nocturnal run.
 Diseased and vicious dogs will dis appear. and no one will want to recall them.
 If present negotiations are success ful. Fred Geiseman's chicken ranch will be converted into a pound, and no better place could be found iIf the city. There the dogs will have high dry hin on which to disport and play while in detention, and where private and public sales will be made of unclaimed dogs.
 The license tags will soon be ready at the City Clerks office, and on or before May 10 every dog in town must be provided with one. else he will be contraband of war owners of dogs should at once furnish the Clerk with a list. giving names and q brief de- scription. and pay the tax.

NEEDLEwoRk NOTES.

Cretonne with small figures il
much used to make covers for books
and magazines.
Use tube muslin for pillow cases.
It IL only necessary to sew one end
and hem the other. and the deed II
done.
A little tin ruler IL much easier to
use than the tape measure for the
measuring of little things. such ~
bands, hens and tucks.
II you sew . whalebone up the back
of . tape measure for the frst ten
inches you will have q means At hand
to rapidly measure skirt lengths and
lines for the trimming.
To prevent the thread from knot
ting when doing hand sewing always
make a knot in the end last broken
from the spool. This done. stretch
the thread by taking the ends and Civ.
ing several quick pulls.
Coarse unbleached toweling, which
comes with the red border along each
edge. may be made into summer cush-
ions and covers for porch furniture.
They may be stenciled with a CON
ventional pattern Of some Sort in
color to match the border.
A dainty little rabat to wear with
the Dutch collar may be fashioned of
short length Of Irish crochet,
edged on three sides with valenciennes
insertion and supported with bow Of
Irish lace.
A convenient idea In respect to the
separate lace. collars which are &c
popular this summer is to have the
band Of the same color as the gown.
It prevents the little line Of white
under the collar which 30 often shows
through the lace.
