r. c. Hamilton, surveyor for the
Board OF Fire Underwriters. spent
the greater portion OF last week in
Yerington for the purpose of revis-
ing insurance rates. The Mayor. City

TWO hose clnpanies gave Mr.. Hamil-
ton an exhibition of the efficiency OF
the fire company and the water sys-
tenn. He expressed himself as well
pleased with both and in general
way gave Yerington nice little send
off on her progressiveness.

No Battleships Next Year.

The Democrats of the House have
again shown their hostility towards
the Navy. On the oath inst. in eau
Gus vote, they decided by vote OF
20 to 62 to stand out against author
izing any appropriation for battle
ships at this session of Congress. The
action is not final and unless a com
promise is made the Republicans will
probably be able to force a provision
for two vessels

Press dispatches state that Bryan
will take the stump for the Democratic
ticket this season and he may follow
Roosevelt through the States that the
Colonel travels.
Well, there is nothing so alarming :
in all this. Bryan followed Teddy
once before if our memory serves US
right. In fact. he has been following
him for some time.

A ROSE YEAR.

The charm of artificial flowers, and especially of the rose, has never been greater than this year. In Wreaths, in cunning little circles, in posies, in clusters, in trails, and in single bios soms, soft and large. and colored with all the perfection which Nature her self can give, the rose this year has had a wonderful vogue, and one does not in the least weary of it.
 One of the prettiest toilets recently seen was chosen by a bride for her maidens, in silk of sweet shade Of yellow. made very simply, with a veil ing of chiffon to the knees, round which ran trail of little yellow Banksia roses with their leaves. The same roses outlined the berthe of vel low chiffon, and a cluster of the flow CTS nestled in the belt White tagal hats wreathed with roses were worn, but the same frock will be charming in the evening with yellow ribbon twined in the hair and caught by knot of roses
 Another pretty frock for a brides maid was chosen in pink satin yelled with chiffon and caught up. panier fashion by a ring of pink roses and forget -me-nots. A blue satin belt with little flowers and hat trimmed with satin ribbon and flower motifs com pleted the toilet Equally sweet was a white frock with pink satin roses nestling in the chiffon frill and trails of tiny roses encircling the figure and outlining the sleeves and fichu

Mix two parts of bolted corn meal with one of salt. Take clean brush oE, the hand and rub all through the curtains. Hang out Of doors for a corple Of hours and the curtains will he sweet and clean and look like new. Tn this simple way they can be clean ed frequently, will never smell of dust ou smoke and will wear better.
 \ To make thin sash or easement cur tains hang evenly, make the casing fer the curtain rod, insert the rod and hang the material from the fixtures Now draw down the window shade as far as you wish the curtain to come when finished With bottom of shade as guide the hem may be pin ned or sbasted and the curtain will hang straight. This will be found much better than measuring the stuff and heming before hanging.

WOMAN'S RIGHT TO KILL.

The very latest in the shooting of men by women is reported from New York. For a, long time the question has been raised whether the laws against homicide meant anything when women did the killing and men were killed, but the general belief has been that it might still be unsafe for a woman to shoot a, man who had giv- en her no cause of offense which con- cerned the relations of the sexes, even to the extent of unpleasant remarks. Now Q, Staten Island woman has put this to the proof by firing three bull lets into the body of the prosecuting attorney of Richmond county, which means the. part of New York city on Staten Island
 The victim has been, by reason of his office the prosecuting attorney in a case against the husband Of the wo- man who did the shooting. The trial ended in acquittal, which greatly dis plea sed the wife, who had instigated the action for abandonment By way of expressing her opinion Of the fail ure of the county prosecutor to con vict her husband on this charge Mrs. Edmunds went to his office, told him that she had a. present for him, drew her revolver and shot him three times inficting wounds expected to prove fatal.
 Now it remains to be seen whether such criticism Of a lawyer for falling to win his case will cause the critic any serious inconvenience.-Cle Leader

OUR NEED OF SALT
said to Be Natural Craving, But
 Used Too Much

If one were to ask a hundred house.
 wives to name the indispensable arti- cIes for the culinary department there is little doubt that five score of them would put salt first in the list. It is regarded as absolutely essential to the table, fruit being the only excep- ion. and even some kinds of fruit are supposed by some persons to be lm- proved if slightly saline
 Whether the fondness for salt is natural or acquired is a question that has not been definitely answered, says tflle Dietetic and Hygienic Gazette, but Il. view of the. fact that most of the nerbivofa crave 1t, We are justified in assuming that the liking of humans fos. fl is inherent.
 Although the salt production of sey- eral countries is reported with a close approxima ton to accuracy, it is inn possible 70 tell how much is taken for personal use and how much is other 1Tise consumed. While it is easy for q family to keep a record Of all the salt it uses directly. considerable quantity is fed to cattle which is also assigned 10, the family
 Thus 1t will happen that two farnil- ies having an equal number of mem bers will consume q very unequal quantity Of salt. Tn the United States there were produced somewhat more t.l2ne tOliI HlluIOH SuOEI -lOIlS- I HIS c1ld allow more than eighty pounds to each individual an amount that seems hardly credible. It is, how ever. so cheap that a great deal IS wasted. Large quantities are also used in the arts in various forms.
 Tn Europe the quantity of salt ap portioned to each individual, outside of Russia, is reckoned at thirty pounds. But the various countries diffsT greatly in this respect, rather less than ten pounds being assigned to spain, twenty-five pounds to Eng land and forty to Germany. Where the price is high and the people poor it is sparingly used where it is cheap and the standard of living relatively high q great deal is wasted.
 The salt monopoly was perhaps the most oppressive form of taxation de- vised by government It was levied on the assumption that it is indis pensable and that the subject must have 2 certain amount of it and will buy it without regard to cost. This method of collecting revenue prevail ea in almost all the countries of Eur ape until far along in the modern era, ats object being to collect the largest - a- .

Brushes Serve We'll in House.

Every housewife should have a
 good collection of brushes, of all sorts and sizes-three long-handed sweep ing brushes, two hard bristles and one
 hard brush being used for outdoo and indoor sweeping. 1t is well, too. to have hard and soft short hand Ied sweeping brush for sweeping out corners of rooms and passages
 Special furniture brushes of a par tlcularly useful order have just been put on the market. They have a flat. broad brush at one end for general furniture brushing, while at the oth- CT end is long pointed brush, which Is splendid for pushing into awkward corners of upholstery.
 4 set of blacklead brushes is un- der present housing arrangements ab- solutely necessary. In respect to the cooking stove it is wise to have q special brush for. cleaning it.
 Where there is a lot of plate or sil- yer stiff brushes must oe kept for cleaning 1t, a couple a least, one for applying the powder and one for pol 1shing the metal Brushes for this purpose should be obtained from a jeweIer
 Anyway, two brushes will be re- quired for using to clean china and glass For the former get a glori- fed toothbrush, a long-handled brush fitted with a marrow. long set of strong -bristIes. The brist!es must be strcng to get the dirt out of anything like elaborate china, but they must on no account be scratchy. A round, baE-shaped brush is best for keep ing 10 clean glass with, brush with so4-, satiny oristles which will not hurt any sort of glass. If half a doz- en various sized bot-Ie brushes are kept on hand much trouble will be saved when bottles require cleaning out all sorts of bottles, from large decanter to tiny cruet bottles They can also be used for cleaning flower vases which have become water stain cd.
 Keep a couple of scrubbing brushes one for general use and the other for any more delicate scrubbing which may arise. However well cleansed, the general scrubbing brush retains a certain amount of grime, and IT is not wise to use it haplrazard for any par ticular" Scrubbing.
