THE REVENUE BILL.


Nearly the entire session Of the House
was occupied in the discussion in Com
nittee of the Whole of the revenue bill.
The latter provided that county commls-
sioners should have no discretion IN grant
ing hquor-licenses. An amendment was
adopted giving them discretion in grant
ing such licenses, although the CHAIRMAN
of the Finance Committee stated that this
vould cause a large loss of revenue. as the
commissioners would now refuse IN great
many counties to grant any licenses what
ever. The chairman further stated that
this would necessltate the raising OF tho
general tax rate above the 2O-cent rate
now agreed on.
The House passed bill establishing a
normal school at Cullowhce, Jackson
county.
OTHER CURRENT LEGISLATION.

bill approprlating $4,000 annually Tor re-

and corn bread are nice accomplishments.
Ii you prefer, you may wipe dry fish
thus soaked, brush over with melted but
ter and broil, serving with the same
sauce or simply with melted butter.
Should it be necessary to freshen a fish
hastily, place it skin upward in a large
fat lryiDg-pan, cover with cold water,
heat gently, and before it comes to boil
pour off and replace with more cold water.
By this process the fish will not become
hardened. Test when it is freshened
enough by tasting the water, and to make
sure, q bit of the flesh from the thickest
part, and it will be found properly cooked
by the time it is sufficiently freshened.
SALT-FlsH PiE-Cod is the best for this
pie, although any kind of cooked salt fish
may be used. Take twice the quantity
of the fish in cold, sliced brOiled potatoes,
and hall the quantity of potatoes in
onions parboiled and sliced. Butter a
pie-dish and put in alternate layers OF
fish, potatoes, onions and hard boiled
eggs, seasoning each layer and dOtting
wit h bits Of butter. Pour over all pint
OF egg sauce for quart dish, cover with
pastry or mashed potatoes and bake.

To Wash Silk Handkerchiefs.

Nearly everyone possesses at least one
silk handkerchief and there are @ great
number who do not know how to wash
them SO that they will look their best.
There is a way that is just right and
again there are ways that are just wrong
but Alice Harper, in Rural Californian,
tells us of the right way:
Make tepid suds with the best white
CASTLE soap and rub the handkerchief
loosely and carefully with the hands till
clean, then rinse several times, shake out
but be careful not to wiring, and hang
out to dry. While still damp, iron on
the wrong side with a iron that is only
hot enough to iron, not too hot, as too
hot an iron invariably changes the color
or yelIows white silk.
