STRUCK A SNAG.
A New Complication of the Lot
terry Question
Which May Cause Its Pro-
moterS Serious Trouble.

In All Probability the Whole Question
of Legislative and GubernatorlaI Action
win BE Thrown Into COurt--The Legis.
Iature is Through With 1.-THE People
Must Speak Now.
New ORLEANS, July IA new com.
plication of the lottery question has
cropped up which threatens to give the
promoters of the scheme serious trouble.
After the bill for the submission of the
Morris proposition had passed both
houses by the requisite two-thirds ma.
jority the bill was sent to the governor
endorsed for PRONUNCIATION"
His excellency returned the bill with
the request that it should be indorsed
"for approval" AS the measure had al.
ready passed both houses with ma
jority sufficient to pass it over the gov
ernors veto, the majority did not think
the approval of the governor was in any
way necessary to make it become law,
but considering the matter trivial one,
they yielded to his excellency's demand
and returned the bill to him indorsed as
he desired.
Governor Nichols retained the bill in
his possession as long as he could
legally, and then returned it with a
veto. The house of representatives
passed it over his veto by two-thirds
vote, last Thursday, and yesterday the
matter came up in the senate. Here
the illness of Hon. j. Fisher Smith. of
Sabine parish, left the lottery people
one vote short of the two-thirds majeri-
ty, 1t was proposed by Senator Smith,
in letter, that the senate should ad-
lourn to his room at the hotel and dis
cuss the matter there, but the legality
of such II move was questioned, and the
attendant physicians said that a meet
ing of the senate i'll Senator Smiths
sick chamber would prove fatal to him.
At late hour Wednesday evening the
question of the power of the governor
To veto the measure was submitted to
the judiciary committee, and they re-
ported that the governors approval was
not necessary to the legaliZation of the
measure, and that it could lie properly
promulgated without his consent
Thursday afternoon at $3.50 o'clock Sen
ator Smith died, and as this is the last
day of the session, it is presumed the
question will be fought out in the courts

Things Worth Remembering.

GILT FRAMEs-Rub gilt frames with
spongemoistened with turpentine. Where
the gliding is gone use gold paint.
INK STAINs-Oxalica acid will remove ink
stains. Ammonia will restore the color
if changed by the acid.
PANT-Chloriform will remove paint.
Use ammonia to restore the color.
STARCH-To keep starch sweet after
boiling, add blue vitriol.
FURNTTURE-Rub furniture with boiled
iinseed oil; then rub perfectly dry with a
flannel cloth.
SPooNs-Rub with salt to remove egg
stains
HAIR-Wash with solution of one ounce
ofsal-soda and One-fourth ounce ofcream
tartar dissolved in one pint of rain water
BURNs-Apply a paste ofcommon soda
and water.
IRON RUsT-Saturate the spots with
lemon juice and salt and dry in the sun.

Recipes.

FRUIT SHoRT-CAKE.-Add three tea
spoonfuls of baking powder to one quart
of flower, and sift twice. Rub into this
three tablespoonful of butter, and milk
to make a soft dough. Roll out piece
to fit a pie plate half or three-fourths of
an inch in thickness; spread the top of it
with soft butter, and then add another
layer Of dough of the same size and thick
ness. Bake in hot oven. When done
separate the cakes, and spread the fruit
between and also on top. A cupful OF
whipped cream can be spread over the
top to advantage. Nearly al varieties
of fruit are relished in this way, and
canned as we'll as fresh can be used,
though of course the flavor of the latter
is far superior to that of the former. APP
pies stewed nicely and sweetened, then a
little nutmeg grated over the top after
they are spread, are better in this way
than when made into pies at this season
Of the year.

the muscles of his face and head, till his
poor mother fears he is idiOtic. By no
means. He is the brightest boy in his
class at school, fond of reading and of
natural history, but he is of a highly ner-
vous temperament, and has not been
taught to control the little wires, SO to
speak, on which he is strung. This is no
single case. There are thousands of chill
dren who give way to theirnerves in sim
liar fashion. Never whip them, but talk
to them about these curiouslittle strings
that should be made their servants, not
their masters. A prominentphysician in

whips a nervous child should for every
blow given, receive five, and is on level
with brutes that have no reason. 1t is
our duty to encourage and help them.

Jewels of a Woman's Life.

There are SO many jewels that may be
worn day and night; SO many gems that
are always and only your own, that you
need not grieve for those that show their
brightness only by day. There is the
jewel of Consideration, that you may
wear just over your heart; there is the
moonstone of Hope, that may glitter
over your brow filing your eyes with
brightness; there is that brilliant stone
OF SYMPATHY, the emerald, that makes
you put outyour right hand othelp; and
there is the beautiful one of loving Kind
ness, that makes the left hand help the
right. But, above all, overshadowing
all, pinning down your tresses is the dia-
mOnd of true Love-love which endureth
all, suffereth all, hopeth all. Are not
these better than jewels dug out of the
earth? For, indeed, these jewels come
from the Heaven above.-Ladies' Home

THE DECORATIVE CRAZE.

Put away the little coal hod that our darling
wants to paint
For she fain would decorate it with devices queer
and quaint.
Hide the dustpan and the wash tub, and likewise
the garden hose,
Or Matilda will adorn them with the lily and the
rose
When Belinda in the morning gets the wooden
chopping bowl
To concoct the morning corned beef hash it vexes
much her soul
To behold wreath of panses where she fain
would cut and slash
SO she scrapes it off, because the paint might pen
citrate the hash.
On the household rolling pin is tied pretty yell
low bow,
And it's lilies of the valley oft commingle with the
dough;
While the new potato masher and the kettles and
the pots
Are magnificent with butterflies and sweet for
get-me-nOts
All articles of furniture, the ancient and the
new,
Are respondent quite with drapery and bows of
brightest hue;
In the house we look about with mingled sorrow
and amaze,
For Matilda is affected with the decorative
