Our Grandmothcr's Cooking.

Most of our modern dishes are very
delicious. Catherine Owen and Miss
Parloa are blessings to mankind. and
yet often wonder why SO many of my
grandmother's dishes are obsoletes
Who knows what ''cumnoddlen is? All
know is that it's dainty bit of lean
pork rolled in some kind of mixture
and fried very brown. My knowledge
ends here. l may not have the name
spelled right, but that is the way it is
pronounced. And ''scrappel, our
butcher says he has 'scrappel," and
such stuff as it is; not the least earthly
resemblance does it bear to the scrappel
my grandmother made. And how
many housewives make "souse" in this
day and age of the worldp 1t is twenty
years since l ate ''souse" that was
''souse" and not pasty, lumpy, taste
less mixture of pigs feet and vinegar.
1t always reminds me of glue. Noodle
soup is so simply and easily made that
anybody ought to be able to make it
well, and yet defy Miss Parloa, herself,
to make it SO that it will look and taste
and smell just like my dear old grand
mothers noodle soup. remember that
her iavorite seasoning was ''passly,"
and il don't seem to me that it is used
so very much now. The last noodle
soup ate was ut one of the best hotels
in America. The noodles were in great,
hard, white looking chunks. Again
have had Il string or two OF vermicelli
or maccaroni put into a weak broth and
set before me as genuine noodle SOUP"
The cookies of the present day are
good, so good, indeed, that / often feel
like rebelling when Mrs. Dane doles
hers out to me in beggarly lots of four
and five at time. They are good, but
they are not like Grandmother Danes
cookies of twenty years ago. Hers
were yellow and half or three-quarters
of an inch thick and all specked
through and through with caraway or
anise seeds, and they tasted-well, l
can't begin to tell how good they did
taste. Maybe it was because l stole
them that they tasted so good. used

StOrm-Swept Texas.

The recent storm and flood in Texas
have been the most severe that we
have read of for years as occurring in
the Southern States. The loss includes
both lives and property. The number
of lives lost is estimated at not less than
fifty and the loss of property at not
less than Sl,0OO,OOO. to crops
S3,4OO,O0O to city and town property
and 100000 to harbor and shipping
improvements. A loss of$5, 100000 in
property is a very severe strain on any
community. The storm seems to have
extended inwards two hundred miles
from the Gulf, destroying thousands of
houses. Among this poorer classes
great desOlatiOn must prevail, as few
were able to save any considerable por-
ton of their possessions from the gen
eral wreck. The entire crop of the
present year is practically gone.

The laws against discrimination in
freight charges or facilities for trans
pOrtatiOn, the platform declares, must
be enforced. 1t opposes imported con-
wet labor, and calls for change in
immigration laws to keep out crimi-
nails, idlers aud vagrants, while ex-
Guiding no nationality. American
labor, it declares, must be protected
against foreign labor competition.
The drink salOon," it says, (which
absorbs so much of the wages of labor
and ncltes to discomfort, tumult. bow
cottism, anarchism and riot, is the ra-
paclous foe of labor and capital" and
lts suppression would do more for the
prosperity of labor and protection of
capital than anything else. The plat
form also demands the strict enforce
inent OF Sunday laws. The so-called
submission resolution " of the Repub-
llcan State Convention is denounced
and repudiated as a deception and a
snare to catch votes. Sectional feeling
