CULINARY RECIPES.

INDIAN PUDDING-One quart Of
boiling milk, one cup of meal, two
tablespoonfuls of flour, one tablespoon
full of butter, one egg, one-half cup of
molasses, and a little salt. Mix the
meal, -four, butter and molasses to-
gether, and turn on the boiling milk.
Bake one hour.
FISE.-It should be placed in a deep
dish with small quantity of water, a
little salt and covered closely; then
left to cook IN the steam in the oven,
and it will be found much firmer than
if boiled in the kettle. BY far the lar
ger proportion of the dainty fish dishes
prepared in Paris are cooked in the
oven, care being taken that it is not
overheated.
To BOIL NEW Wash
the potatoes clean, then rub the skin
off-never use knife-and put them
into boiling water, in which is a little
salt, and boil quickly; when dly, lay
in a dish and spread little butter
over them. Or boil some milk, put in
a spoonful Of butter, and thicken with
little flour, wet smooth with milk
then, when the potatoes are cooked
and laid in the dish pour this gravy
over them.
FRIED CHICKEN.-With very
sharp knife cut chicken into small,
neat pieces. Dust with pepper and
salt, dip in a beaten egg, then cracker
dust or flour lightly. Try temperature
Of lard when hot by dropping in thin
slice of raw potato; if it browns, the
lard is ready. Cook carefully, turning
IN n
hot platter, garnished with fine water
cress, parsley or leaves from the gar
den. Serve also, if desired, with
simple cream dressing.
RICE CAKE.-One cupful of butter,
two of sugar, two and one-fourth of
rice flour, six eggs, the juice and rind
of lemon. Beat the butter to
cream; then gradually beat in the SUI
gar and add the lemon. Beat the
yelks and whites separately, and add
them to the beaten sugar and butter.
Add also the rice flour. Pour into a
shallow pan to the depth of about two
inches. Bake from thirty-fve to for
ty-fve minutes in moderate oven.
FRITTERs-Beat three eggs well to-
gether, add alternately flour and milk
(salted), till pint of each be used,
beating quickly all the time. To the
above add Immediately pint of pre-
served fruit and drop spoonfuls into
boiling hot lard. If oysters or CLAIMS
be used, chop, not too fine, about two
dozen, and mix as above. So of green
corn, ripe or canned apples, pears
,cored and halyed). or stoned peaches. |
When the fritters are done and drained,

PUT OFF THE sPOME."

The Reason Why Beautiful Song Of
the Glad Spring Time e. .a'tgo.
The sentimental editor s,kawa TX
into the wild woods yesterday. Only |
a brief tramp over verdant hillsides; |
only few glimpses at white
plum blossoms and dainty daisies
and scores of other fragrant
beauties, whose names he didn't know;
only swift turning-back of the mem
DRY to a far away Eastern shore; only
a passing dream of long summer after
moons, and cloudless skies, and happy
holdays-and the mania had him in
its grip. 1t is easy enough for the
cold, matter-of fact, prosaic people Of
this world, to make sport and point
the finger of scorn at the man who
writes little rhymes, any where from the
2lst of March to the middle of April.
Such people have no poetry in their
souls and take pleasure only
in peruslng thrilling sensa-
lions such as the reports of
the Legislature or the Congression-
al Record. Make it a practice to avoid
this kind of scoffers. But this is a
| depression, and to return to the main
narrative. The man of the quill sat
down on messy bank and proceeded
to write an Ode to Spring-in his
mind, not having his MOTEL book along.
He lay there a long time and the
shades Of night were falling before one
was framed that was sufficiently orig
inal to suit.
When you come to think
of it, it's pretty hard
matter to spring (no extra CHARGE
any thing new on the public in this
line of poesy. So many remarks have
been made touching this "etherlal
mildness" and so many sacrilegious
reporters have poked fun at any al.
lusionS in verse to the time chat was
talked about to gentle Annie, that il
really draws heavily on the constitu
ton even of A rhymsters to gel
up anything really novel on the sub
ject. This, however, is another
name to the original proposition. III,
lay there Gas was before remarked
,, till dark. Spring was uppermost il
, his thoughts all the time; but alas
when he sprung up to return to TIT
sanctum and ali the way back, anoth.
, er idea struggled for the mastery. /
!, was thisl why had he not carried hi
overcoat along. This thought would
!, come up; the norther helped to i'm
press it, and long ere the lights O
Austin began to twinkle in the dis
:. lance the verses seemed to hove fadet
! from our memory. 1t ther,
!, is anything absolutely beautiful, it,
one of these eleventh hour northers
They are the foes of al poetry, senti
, ment and romance, and in them tn
+ Texas spring poet may always expec
! to encounter his deadliest enemy.

CuRE FOR PILES

Piles are frequently preceded by a
sense of weight in the back, loins and
lower part of the abdomen, causing
the patient to suppose he has some
election of the kidneys or neighboring
organs. At times, symptoms of indi-
gestion are present, fiatulency, uneasi-
ness of the stomach, etc. a moisture,
like Precipitation, producing very dis,
agreeable itching, after getting warm
is common attendant. Blind, Bleed
ing and Itching Piles yield at once to
the application of DR.. Bosanko's Pile
Remedy, which acts directly upon the
parts effected, absorbing the Tumors,
allaying the intense itching, and effect
ing a permanent cure. Price so cents.

Madame E. F. Duke,
THE UNIVERSITY,
An Animated Discussion in the AlOu
dyer This Institution.

An Animated Discussion in the House
Over This Institution.
In the discussion of proposition
in the House, made by Mr.. Cayitt, to
have the appropriation for the Prairie
View (colored) Normal School paid
out of the University fund, Mr..
Moore, of Travis, made an able speech
against the proposition, as being in
violation of law, as the school was
not even a branch of the University,
and it was wrong in principle to fleece
the university fund which was re-
quired for the uses Of the University,
and the establishment of the Medical
College at Galveston and the colored
branch to be located at Austin. The
Prairie View School was normal for
the instruction of colored teachers,
Just as the Sam Houston School was
a normal institute for white teachers.
To impair the university fund in the
way proposed was not only unconsti-
tutlonal but was highly impolitic and
would prevent the regents from car
rying out necessary improvements,
such as the establishment of dormito-
ries and mess halls, ETC., to cheaper
the expenses of university students,
which the regentS contemplated. With
such advantages in these respects as
the A. and M. College had, the board
of students could be reduced here as at
the College, on which had been eX-
pended $242 900, for college buildings,
professors houses, and students mess
halls, besides large expenditures for
the Agricultural Deartment of the
College. AS to the College and Uni
yersity. he argued, there should be no
ill-feeling as to the management of
the two institutions, and he hoped
their interests would be fairly consid-
cred without reference to such spirit.
In the course of the further discus
sion Of the subject, the ignorance
charged by some of the members upon
others as to the status of the Unlver-
sity and its branches, was rather
amusing. Mr.. Lockett, for instance,
argued that the PSairie View School
was entitled to support from the Uni
versity fund as branch of the Uni
versity, quoting the clause Of the Con-
stitutlon which provides for colored
branch of the University.
Mr.. Cravens, in reply, said he was
astonisht d that the gentleman from
BosQue did not know, that so far from
the school at Hampstead being the col
Ored Dranch or the university conCem-
plated by the Constitution, the people
had voted the location of the colored
branch to be at Austin. The Prairie
View School was simply normal
school to be supported on the same
principal as the Sam Houston Nor
NAL Institute, and neither was a
branch of the University.
Mr.. Stuart, the colored member
from Robertson, ventured to express
.hls surprise at what he considered
one ignorance of the gentlemen from
Montgomery in not knowing that the
Prairie View School was branch of
the University. Laughter.
Mr.. Cravens, in return, was sur
prised that the representative from
Robertson, after being educated at
the Prairie View School was ignorant
of the fact that it was not branch of
the University. Renewed laughter

Jones appealed and the Supreme Court
reversed Judge Walkers decision on
the ground that the title bond cannot
be enforced against Mrs. Jones. The
principle on which the decision rests,
viz, that a married woman cannot
convey except by joining with her
husband in an absolute deed, is re-
garded by lawyers as virtual annul-
fnent of all sales by married women
of the homestead or their separate
property by title bond or power of
attorney. In this case the property
was not the separate estate of Mrs.
Jones. The case is remanded for a
new trial, wherein the question OF
damages will be adjudicated.

Royal the only Absolutely Pure Baking
Powder made.-Action of the New
York State Board of Health

Royal" the only Absolutely Pure Baking
Powder made-Action of the New
York State Board Of Health.
Under the direction of the New
York State Board OF Health, eighty
four different kinds of baking pow
ders, embracing all the BRANDS that
could be found for sale in the State,
were submitted to examination and
analysis by Prof. G. F. Chandler. a
member of the State Board, and Presi-
dent Of the New York City Board Of
Health, assisted by Prof. Edward u.
Love, the well-known late United
States Government chemist.
The official report shows that a
large number of the powders examined
were found to contain alum OF lime;
many Of them to such an extent as to
render them seriously Objectionable
for use in the preparation OF
food.
Alum was found in twenty-nine
samples. This drug is employed in
baking powders to cheaper their cost
The presence of lime is attributed to
the impure cream Of tartar of COM
merce used in their manufacture
Such cream of tartar was also an
alyzed and found to contain lime and
other impurities, in some samples to
the extent of 90 per cent. Of their en-
tire weight.
All the baking powders OF. the
market, with the single exception OF
"Royal," (not including the alum and
phosphate powders, which were long
since discarded as unsafe or in Efficient
by prudent housekeepers), are made
from the impure cream Of tartar OF
commerce, and consequently contain
lime to corresponding extent.
The only baking powder yet found
| by chemical analysis TO be entirely
free from lime and absolutely pure is
| the "Royal" This perfect purify re-
suits from the exclusive use of cream
| of tartar specially refined and prepared
| by patent processes Of the n. Y. Tartar
Co., which totally remove the tartratt
OF lime and other impurities. The cost
of this chemically pure cream Of tar
tar is much greater than any otner
and on account of this greater cost i:
used in no baking powder but the
"Royal."
Prof. LOVE, who made the analysis
of baking powders for the New Yorl
State Board of Health, as well as fol
the Government, says of the purity
and wholesomeness of Royal:
81 have tested a package of 'Roya
Baking Powder which 1 purchased in
the open market, and find it composed
of pure and wholesome ingredients
1t is a cream of tartar powder of {
high degree of merit, and does not con
tain either alum or phosphates or any
injurious substances"

either in volume or capacity, the bushes of

avert to the fact that the causes for this e

former the financial depression row over

IMPORTANT. DECISION
OF Supreme Court Involving LIE
gality of Title to Real Estate
in Austin

OF the supreme Court Involving Lee
gality of Title to Real Estate
in Austin
The recent decision of the case of
Jones VS.. Golf by the Supreme Court,
at Galveston is of public interest in
asmuch as it is likely to disturb many
titles heretofore considered secure. It
has long been the custom in sales of
real estate when the entire considera-
tionis not paid down, for the purchaser
to take title bond oblig ating the ven
dor to deliver the deed on receipt of the
deferred payment. In this case the
court adopts the opinion Of Judge
Watt, of the Commission Appeals,
which decides that such bond can
not be enforced by the courts against
a married woman.
The facts shown on the trial in the
District Court are as follows:
DR.. Charles G. Jones, of Austin, on
Jan. 8, 1883, sold to Golf for 1900,
on three payments two lots on College
avenue, Austin, the same being the
western half of his homestead, stipu-
lating that he was to retain and oc-
cupy the house for six months, during
which time he was to build a new
dwelling on the adjoining ground.and
at the expiration of that time deliver
possession and receive the remaining
consideration. Golf in the meantime,
TO have possession of the vacant part
of the land purchased, and TO make
such improvements as could be done
previous TO removing the old house
Golf paid the cash payment and re-
ceived a title bond signed by Jones
and wife aud duly acknowledged by
both, according to the statute pre-
scribing the mode of conveyance of
the homestead, and embodying the
terms of the contract, took possession |
OF the vacant land and proceeded with |
his Improvements and continued work |
ing the same with the appreciation of |
Jones and wife, until near the time for |
full delivery of the premises. Jones in |
the meantime having built his new /
house. Golf, at the time specified in |
this bond, rendered to Jones the bal |
ance of the consideration and demand
ed the deed and possession, which
Jones refused, on the plea that his
wife was not legally bound to fulfill
her contract. The property had near
" doubled in value in the meantime.
Golf sued for title and possession, de-
posted ia court the balance of the
