Valuable Recipes.


BREAD PUDDING.-Soak one
pint and half of bread crumbs in
one pint and half of milk for an
hour, and squeeze with the hands;
place in a bowl and mix with it
three tablespoonfuls of sugar, four
ounces of raisins, four ounces. of
melted butter, four yelks of eggs,
one ounce of citron; then beat the
four whites of eggs to a stiff
froth, and mix with the rest.
Grease a mould or dish well with
butter, dust with bread crumbs
turn the mixture in and bake.
The mould must not be more
than two-thirds full. Bake forty
minutes. Serve with hot or cold
sauce. This is most delicious
pudding.
VARIETIES OF PEANUTS
There ase four great varieties Of
tue penut known to the dealers:
The African, which is small and
black; the Georgian, which is a
little better, and the North Car
Gilman better still, and the large
Virginia peanut, which is best of
al. The Tennessee peanut has
three meats, but is ill-havored-
About 500, 900 bushels were raised
in the United States last year.
To MAKE HARD SoAP.-Take
six pounds of sal soda and three
pounds Of unslacked lime; boil
them in four gallons of solt water.
place the kettle off the fire to
settle; melt the grease in another
kettle, and pour on the lye care
fully, so that none of the settings
will mingle with it. Add quarAr
of a pound of bOrax and a pint of
glycerine. Boil until as thick as
molasSes or honey. Stir all the
time lest it burn on the kettle; per-
fume with oil of orange flowers or
burgamot, etc. Turn it into pan
to harden, then cut into squares,
or if preferred, turn into tins.
This makes very nice soap for
the hands and toilet.
QUASsIA AS A DRESSING Fer

weather. Flies cannot, he says,

The Louisiana Press.

We notice from the Natchi-
toches Times, that the citizens
of that parish have, to a GER
tain extent, determined to re-
sist the payment Of Parish
taxes.
This certainly is a move in
the right direction. Cannot
the taX-ridden citizens of Red

their own interest! Cannot
they, too, call Il mass meeting,
appoint from their own ranks,
a committee to investigate the
proceedings and books of the
Police Jury-ascertain the
amount of the Parish indebt-
edneSS ascertain the amount
of scrip that has been issued
TO whom and for what purpose?
1t is your right to know these
things. 1t is your right to
know how much scrip is issued
for the bridge across Grand
bayou. 1t is your right to
know why $1,000 was allowed
for the bridge on thenew road
across bayou Nicholas, and
nothing for the bridge at the
foot of Carroll street. 1t is
your right to know why 500
OF that $1,000 was given to
another person than the bridge
contractor, and for what pur-
pose it was given. 1t is your
right to know why Mr.. Gillian
was allowed 1925 for his Grand
