The novel sight was presen-
ted in the Texas Legislature a
week or two ago of amember Of
that body speaking in Spanish
in advocacy of u bill making
the payment of poll tax a pre-
requisite to voting. His argu-
ment, which most of the body
understood although uttered in
a foreign tongue, was that at
the last election ever one thou
sand Mexicans had crossed over
and in Texas. The Span
ish must have been persuasive,
as the bill passed the lower
House.

Proverbs4n Cookery.
Times.

The second of Miss Dods' de-
mOnstratives lectures on cook
cry at Association Hall was Civ
en- yesterday to an audience
nearly double the size of the
one that listened to her OH Fri
day. Miss Dods' lectures are
full Of little bits of information
that might properly be called
culinary proverbs. Here are a
few of them:
There is a greenness in onions
and potatoes that renders them
hard to digest. For health's
sake, put them in warm water
for an hour before cooking.
The only kind Of a stove With
which you can preserve a uni
form heat is a gas stove; with it
you can simmer a pot for an
hour or boil it at the same rate
for 20 minutes.
Good -four is not tested by
ats color, White flour may not
be the best. The test of good
flour is by the amount Of water
it absorbs.
In cooking a fowl, to ascer-
tain when it is done put skew
or into the breast, and if the
breast is terder the fowl is done,
A few dried orpreserved cher
ries, with stones out, are the
very best things possible to gar
nish sweet dishes.
Single cream is cream that
has stood OH the milk twelve
hours. 1t is best for tea and
coffee. Double cream stands
on its milk twenty-four hours
and cream for butter frequently
stands forty-eight hours. Cream
that is TO be whipped should not
be butter cream, lest in whipping
it change 10 butter.
To beat the whites of eggs
quickly put in pinch of salt
The cooler the eggs the quicker
they will froth. Salt cools and
also freshens them.
In boiling eggs hard put them
in boiling water ten minutes
and then put them in cold wa
ter. 1t will prevent the yolks
from coloring black.
You must never attempt tt
boil the dressing of a clear soup
an the stock, for it will always
xliscolor the soup.
In making any kind Of sauce
put the butter and -four in to-
gether and your sauce will ney-
,er be lumpy.
When you see your sauce
boil from the sides of the par
you may know your flour OF
corn starch is done.
Boiled fowl with sauce, oyel
which CRATE your yolk of eggs
is q magnificent dish for lunch
con.
Tepid water is produced by
combining two-thirds cold and
one third boiling.
TO make maccaroni tender,
put it in cold water and bring il
TO boil. 1t will then be much
more tender than if put in hot
water or stewed in milk.
The yolk of eggs binds the
crust much better than the
whites. Apply it TO the edges
with a brush.
Old potatoes may be freshcn-
ed up by plunging them into cold
water before cooking them.
Never put a pudding that is
to be steamed in any thing else
thin dry mould.
70 brown sugar for sauces OF
for buildings put the sugar in a
perfectly dry saucepan. If the
pan is the least bit wet the SUI
gar will burn and you will spoil
your saucepan.
Outlets and steaks may be
fried as well as broiled, but they
must be putin hot enough when
ut throws off blush smoke.
The water used in mixing
bread must be tepid hot. If il
too hot, the loaf will be full OF
great holes.

Corn Husks and Cattle.
American Stoakanan.


The local papers, both east
and west, have recorded the
loss Of many cattle which had
been turned into standing corn
fodder, attributing the losses in
a majority Of instances 10 the
eating of the smut in the corn
which is mostly left in the field.
We remember to have noticed
in a few instances different
theory has been advanced, a.
greeing with what now appears
to be the true cause OF death Of
the cattle.
Mr.. James Miller, Of Wood
bury county, Iowa, while at on"
office recently, reported as fol-
lows: He lost twenty-nine head,
mostly young cattle, ont of his
herd since the last storm. He
had already fed off 40 acres of
cornstalks, and by care in salt
ing and watering, had had be-
fore no losses. He had just
turned his cattle on fresh corn
stalks. The weather was cold
and they ate greedily-though
there was water in the field the
cattle without care and in the
cool weather did not suitably a
vail themselves OF it. The sea-
son has been dry and the sac
charine substances were fully
retained in the husks. 1t has
been observed that the cattle
invariably sought the husks-
ate little else. Several Of The
dead cattle were opened, and
husks found solidly impacted
in their stomachs with appear
ances of generating heat. Tie
coats of the stomachs, as Mr..
Miller described them, appear to
have been cooked.
Controyerting the notion that
smut kills the cattle, Mr.. Miller
claims to have experimental by
feeding some Of his cattle with
this fungus, which they devour
lin preference to anything else,
and SO far as he could observe,
it was entirely harmless.
Mr.. Mlller's opinion is that
the husks are unusually sweet
from a lack of rains aud other
causes, and entice the cattle,
especially young cattle, to fill
ing themselves excessively.

The remains of the late John +.
Davidson were escorted to their last
resting place this forenoon by a
detachment Of the Porter Reserves,
preceded by a brass band, the soldiers
marching in uniform with arms re-
versed. A number Of Odd Fellows,
of which the deceased was a worthy
member, served as pail bearers. The
sorrowing wife of the deceased, who
arrived in the city last night, together
with numerous friends, attended the
funeral in carriages. 1t was a solemn
procession and attracted the general
sympathy Of many who witnessed its
passage along the public highways.
Mr.. Davidson was much liked by all
who knew him and since the outbreak
of the fever he has attracted consid-
cradle attention by his quiet course
and careful attention to the duties he
had to perform with the gas company.
of which he was inspector. 1t is less
than a week since his manly form was
seen each day in the vigor of robust
health moving along the streets. Now
he is cold in death, a victim to this
mystical plague, which battles the skill
Of all people, scientific and otherwise.
