LATER
The Law Holds Good.

WASHINGTON, May 25.-The United
States supreme court to-day decided
that the original package law passed
by the last congress was valid and con-
stitutional, and that it went into effect
in all states where prohibitory laws
prevailed without re-enactment by the
states of the laws by which thew for
babe the sale of Intoxicating liquors
within their boundaries, whether i'm
ported from other states or not.
| Chief Justice Fuller rendered the
opinion of the court, and the bench was
united in support of the conclusions to
which he arrived, though Justice Gray
announced that Justice Harlan, Brewer
and himself did not concur in all the
reasoning of the opinion of the court.
The case upon which the decision
was rendered was that of John NJ. Will
kersOn, sheriff of Shawnee county.
Kan, appellant, VS.. Charles A. Rahrer,
brought here on appeal from the decis-
ion of the circuit court of the United
States for the district of Kansas against
the state.
Rahrer was the original package
1SCAC d. Topeka, Man., OF the nrm OF
Maynard, Hopkins & Co., of Kansas
City, and was arrested the day after
the original package law went into
effect. He claimed that the law was
unconstitutional and also that it could
not go into operation until the state
had re-enacted its prohibitory law.
The court says the power of the state
to impose restraints and burdens upon
persons and property in promotion of
the public health, good order and pros
perity is a power always belonging to
the states not surrendered by them to
the general government nor directly
restrained by the constitution of the
United States and essentially exclusive.
The power of congress to regulate COM
merce among the several states when
the subjects are national in their ma
ture, it says, is also exclusive.
The constitution does not provide
that interstate commerce shall be free.
but by the grant of this exclusive DOW
er to regulate it, it was left free except
as congress might undertake to repu.

Kitchen Wisdom.

Flour sprinkled over suet makes the
process OF chopping much eaiser.
To prepare mould for gelatine or
other cold buildings, fill it with cold
water half an hour before using, then
empty and without wiping fill with the
pudding.
Batters and similar mixtures that
are to be steamed or baked require a
well-greased dish; and after greasing
sprinkle thickly with flour, shaking off
all that does not adhere to the pan.
A novel crust forsquash or pumpkin
pies is thus arranged. A pie-plate is
generously buttered, then dried or
stale bread crumbs are sprinkled
thickly over it, the butter holding
them in place, The liquid mixture is
then put in it by the spoonful or
poured in gently. Astrip OF pastry
may be put around the edge, but with
a deep plate this is not necessary.
The point in favor of this sort OF
crust is that the crumbs have already
been cooked, and therefore the result
is more digestible than pastry which
usually becomes soaked before the
fcus is cooked.

Fashions of Louis XIV.

And what did they really wearin the
reign of the Louis of whom one hears
most, much as one hears OF all the
LOUISE The fans were round and COW
cred with feathers; they were hung
from the girdle; the gloves were long
and buttonless; the shoes had pointed
toes and high heels. Here is a pretty
floral dress preserved in an old pic
ture: the skirt is short and plain and
has six festoons of roses to circle it;
the bodice is low and pointed; the
sleeves are silk above, and muslin
puffs from the elbows; the hair is pow
dered and turned over a cushion. a
wreath is laid about the top OF it, and
from the wreath issue ostrich pumes.
There were hoops; there were lace
founces; there were ribbons, powder
and brocades; the emdroideries were
magnificent; the waists were long and
pointed; the bodices opened in front
and were laced across; long polonaise
jackets were edged with ruches; many
things, in fact, were as many things are
now.

Should Woman Woo7

According to our rather curiouss s.
TEN, it is perfectly consistent with
human dignity to ask another for hon
or, affection, devotion, all the most
precious things in life, but it is not
permitted to be indebted to another
for material necessities. In normal
state OF society man is the bread win
ner and can ask woman to share
his loaf without loss OF self-respect.
Suppose, however, the proposal of
marriage devolves upon the woman?
She is placed in the awkward position
OF suppliant for material benefits.
Why this should be SYNONYMOUS is by
no means easy to explain, but who
will venture to dispute the tacts?
Compare tho mental constitution OF
the two sexes. Here it would seem for
q moment as if so delicate an Office
might wisely be given to women. A
man reaches decision by process of
reason, while a woman jumps to it by
the shipper and director method of in
tuition. No one pretends to urge
that reason is OF any use at all in the
direction of the affections. But, on
the other hand, woman lacks to q
marked degree the mental quality of
single-mindedness AS hereconsiders
her answers, and so has made proven
bal ga woman's no." so she might
take to reconsidering her suit, which
would lead to all sorts of embarrass-
ments.-Kate Fields Washington.

OIL Meal for Dairy Cows.

There seems to be a good deal of
misrepresentation as to the effect of
feeding oil meal to dairy cows, says
the well known writer on economic
farm subjects, A. l.. Crosby, in Ma
tional Stockman. Some think it will
produce abortion. or will ruin the but
ter, or do various other things to the
injury of the cows or their product.
Oil meal is made from flaxseed which
is ground and the oil pressed out,
leaving as residue a hard cake; this Is
reground and is then the oil meal or
linsoed meal of commerce. In the old
process oil meal there is still from to
8 per cent of oil, but this quantity is
not large enough to injure cows when
they are fed very literally with it. In
fact it is this Oil that makes the old
process meal so desirable as feeding
stuff In comparison with the new pro-
cess meal, from which the oil is nearly
all extracted. One effect of feeding
oil meal Is to keep the animals bowels
In good condition, and this is just what
we must do in the case OF cows about

Live stock and Farm Notes.

There is no way of cleaning dirty
milk.
Every part of the farm should pro-
duce something of value.
Sheep and hogs kept on wooden
floor will often have deformed hcofs.
Sawdust is good material to use
for bedding during the spring and
summer.
In many cases millet makes good
crop to cut and feed out during the
summer.
The width of the fence run Is an
important item in considering the cost
of fencing.
Cleanliness of the skin is one i'm
portant item in maintaining health
with the horses.
On old farms at least sheep can be
kept to an advantage in keeping weeds
down in the pastures.
Salt is good to make plant food in
the soil available but too much of it
will destroy all vegetation.
Care should be taken to make the
work teams comfortable at night, so
that they may enjoy their nights rest
To considerable extent, at least
middle fences on the farm should be
built so that if necessary, they can be
readily moved.
BY letting the calf run with the COW
you may have the satisfaction of rails
ing u good calf, even If it does not
prove profitable.
Properly built, an all wire fence is
more durable than any other that can
be put up, and considering this, will
in majority OF cases, be found the
most economical
The offspring resembles the parent
more frequently than it does the other
ancestors. hence it is important to have
the personal qualities of the animals
used for breeding OF good quality.

that lobster that was alive when

tail curled up to the body. while one
that was dead has the tail extended.
Salt fish may be soaked over night,
changing the water II it grows very salt.
Always put it flesh side downwards in

A recipe for a soap-bubble mixture
allows sixty grains OF white CASTLE
soap to an ounce OF soft water The
mixture should be placed in bottle
three times as large as will contain it.
and after standing two or three hours,
one-half as much glycerine as water
should be added. This may be allowed
few hours to dissolve. and then
should be thoroughly shaken at inter.
