How to Judge Meal-Some Laundry
Lessons-Whipped Cream.

In judging as to the odor OF meat pass
clean knife. which has been dipped in
hot water. through it, and examine SUB
sequently as to the odor of the knife
Tainted meat often gives off a plainly per-
ceptibIe and disagreeable odor while be-
ing cooked. Good meat is elastic to the
touch. Meat that is wet and habby
should De discarded.
To Clean Stock.
Nothing is comparable to egg for clean
ing soup stock. To kettle Of cold stock
add the crushed shell ana white Of one
egg. Heat this gradually and stir ii con-
stantly until it comes TO the boiling point:
then put II back on the range and let it
simmer until the scum has risen and SET
TIED, then strain through a cloth.
To Keep the Bread-box sweet.
To keep the bread jar and cake-box
sweet, rinse after washing with boiling
water in which a little common soda has
been dissolved. Then set out OF doors in
the sun for few hours.
Castards.
In making custarls and custard pies
heat the milk to the scalding point before
adding it to the beaten eggs and sugar;
bake at once in a hot oven. The time re-
quired for baking them win thus be re-
duced one-half.
Do Not Cover Potatoes
Roast or boiled potatoes should never
be served in covered dish. The steam
which escapes from the potato. having
no way Of evaporation. becomes moisture
and soaks back into the potato, max
ing it wet and sodden. While waiting
to serve the potatoes cover the dish with
a napkin.

The Lottery.

There is much division of opinion
on the question of chartering or not
the Lottery. There are thousands of
good men for and against the charter.
That this question has created bad
feeling, there can be no doubt; there
fore, it is best for all parties to have
the question put to rest, How is this
to be done?
Mr.. Morris offers an immense bonus,
to be applied to several of the leading
interests of Louisiana-the largest
bonus ever offered for corporate privi-
leges. Submit the proposition fairly
and speedily to vote of the people !;
this is a government of majorities. Let
the people vote for or against The
people are the sovereigns-the people
are supreme. If the majority favor the
proposition, let all acquiesce if, on the
contrary, the majority are against the
Lottery, then that settles the question
finally. Let US have the peoples vote
on this question, which will put it to
rest, one way or the other. Surely,
the Ants do not fear the verdict of the
people. The charge that few men
can be bribed will not apply to all the
voters of Louisiana. The $350,O00 for
levees will not build all our levees, but
with the 1-mill State tax it will do So
TIL $3.50, 900 for public schools will
not meet the demands for education,
but with the State tax and parish ap-
preparations, will build all the needed
school houses and give US nine months
sessions.
The sum set apart will extend the
usefulness of all our charitable iDsti-
tutions, enable our Insane Asylumnf
to care for all the insane, our Deaf and
Dumb Institutions to take charge of al
that unfortunate class, to care for every
orphan in the State; to build large
Soldiers Home for all the infrm and
broken-do soldiers and to pension
every one who fought with Lee, Jack
son, Early, Beauregard and other com,
petent generals.
There are other important interest;
that will be amply provided for. The
honor of the State will not IN any way
be affected. The immortality will b,
nothing, absolutely nothing, to tht
decentralization of whiskey, which yoI
now license nor will it approach to tht
decentralization that springs from beer
saloon concerts, with girl attachments
gambling ia futures, and huge monopo
/ lies.
