CIIAItD OK LEAF DEIST.
. Delicious and Xutrlcloui Midsummer
Vegetable tor San Autoulani.
When spring comes we Instinctively look for
greens and vegetables and thoy aro generally
obtained In one form or another. Spinach
turnip tops brocoli poko weed and young
beets thinned from tho rows are tho varieties
mostly utilized. Hut all of these soon run to
seed and long bofore midsummer comes It is
impossible to got a supply for tho table. Tho
sun In midsummer In Texas Is schorclitug to
vegotablcs.but a bed of chard koeps Its growth
and will furnish a regular supply for tho table
from April to November. Some botanists class
chard with the common beet only n different
variety but othors more properly regnrd It as
n distinct specie). While beets develop un en
ormous root tho roots in chard aro very small
subdivided as It were and wholly unfit for
food. Chard produces an abundanco of up-
right loaves having very large nnd thick leaf
stnlks. 'I'beso leaves when grown rapidly un-
der our Texan gkio. aro dollelously anil sue-
culcntly tender and furnish an abuud-
ant supplv of greens. Chard Is
well known In Luropo and used extonsivoly
tho soed catalogues giving half a dozon or
more varieties differing In color and tn the
division of their leaves. Dr. Mudd of Soiner-
sett last year received some chard sood from
tho Agricultural dep" tment at Washington.
Not having the tltin and opportunity to at-
tend to It ho save soiuo of the seed to a neigh-
nor to pmut. imoi mucn aueniion was paiu to
Its cultivation but nevertheless It grow splen-
didly. Tho mau bunched some It and brought
It to San Antonio. All but two bunches

Kurope obtnlned sotno Beod from a regular
soousman in can Antonio planted it and win

Mr. Jesse Hell Itelates is Strange Fact In

rulowas strangely violated last week. You

Enterprising.
A man was going the rounds of the retail
stores yesterday hunting for silver coins with
holes in. Deing asked what he wanted with so
many hr replied "I'm going to Mexico."
In all probsmlity this will be his last venture
in the mutilated currency business.
What the Doctor fcnys.
Dr. Uraunnagel informs the Light that
measles have materially decreased in the city.
Stomach complaints arc somewhat prevalent
especially among children being mainly in-
duced by exposure during the cold nights.
The same cause has occassioned other ail-
ments in those who usually perspira lteely by
unduly checking'persptration.
More Labor.
The Light learning frcm Mr. Theodors
lialdus the esteemed District clerk that while
he was in Galveston on Sunday the steamship
Guadelupe arrived from New York having
about 200 German immigrants on board who
had been shinned from llremen. The Immi
grants were 'distributed by the Sunset route in
various cities and some have arrived in San
Antonio.
Why He Dlmnl'SedTliein.
"Why did I dismiss the case against the
gamblers!'' r.s onded. Justice Adams t) the
Light commissioner' interrogation "why be-
cause there was no case against them. The
only evidence against them was a boy whose
veracity is doubtful and there was therefore an
absence of the requisite proof. The parties
who get up these cases should take s:eps to
prove them otherwise they occasion useless
and improfltable trouble.

frame houses torn to atoms. Trees were
swept away like straws loaded freight cars
lifted from the track and carried 200 yards
and trees and timber from houses scattered
