Value of Good Cooking,

We mascuiines have yet to learn that
the kitchen is the most important end OF
the household. If that goes wrong. the
whole establishment is wrong. 1t de.
cides the health Of the household. and
health settles almost everything. Heavy
bread, too great frequency Of plum pud.
ding. mingling of lemonade and Gus
tards, unnlasticabie beef, have decided
the fate of sermons, legislative bills and
destiny of empires. The kitchen knife
has often cut off the brightest prospects
The kitchen gridiron has often consumed
commercial enterprise. The kitchen
kettle has kept many q good man in no!
water. 1t will never be fully known
how much the history of the world wa.
affected by good or bad cookery.-Nash
vile Advocate.

TARIFF BILL NEARLY COMPLETED.

u Far - the Senate Finance Committee
h Concerned.
WASHINGTON, March 5.-The Democratic
members at the senate committee ON
finance fo1nd IL necessary to take at least
one more day to consider the tariff bill be-
fore presenting It to the full committee.
They had been very anxious to complete
the bill Saturday so rs to be able to lay it
before the full committee today, and they
did not relax in this purpose until the last
moment. But they found that it had been
necessary to give SO much time to senators
who wanted to oe heard on the various
schedules that they had comparatively
little time for consultation. Consequently
they were unable to send the bill to the
printer, and they postponed this until to-
day, when they promise to complete the
bill in time to have it printed for presenta-
ton tomorrow morning.
While some of the schedules Of the bill
have been agreed to for the time being by
the committee the work is not considered
finally concluded upon by any of them,
and important changes are liable to be
made up to the last moment before the
meeting of the full committee. For this
reason, members of the committee decline
absolutely to give out any of the rates fixed.
They also refuse to confirm any figures
published. and while they do not say that
the rate of 40 cents per ton on iron ore
and coal are erroneous tsiey assert that
whatever figures they may have agreed to
even on those articles, are still subject tc
changes,and that rs il is with those articles
| so it is with the entire list.
The contest between the members of the
committee and the discontinued elemen,
1 Il, l....v u
White, Gallery and Smith and possibl,
two or three other senators, constitute ;
very compact organization, and they con
stitute an influ,n nee which the COMMITTEE,

ators have been in constant consultation

regular meeting on Tuesday evening al
the association building. which proved
10 be- "A very important one. or the
sixteen members. thirteen were present.
ana President s. ". Travers was In the
chair
The question. the discussion of which
took up nearly the entire evening was
the discussion Of the financial condition
OF the organization. Since the debt OF
the association had been raised last
spring by voluntary subscriptions on the
part OF liberal-mindod citizens, there
mas been considerable decrease in the
annual contributions made heretofore
hV sustaining members, so that II IS
feared that at the end Of the present
fiscal year there will be an arrearage IN
the current expenses Of about $1,000.
The members Of the board are very
DESTROYS to avoid any such calamity,
and they eagerly discussed the means
by which such an occurrence might be
prevented II was finally decided that
"A committee from the board should pre-
pare "A statement TO be submitted TO the
citizens of Richmond. for the purpose
Of urging upon them the necessity Of
standing by the association and con-
tinuing their annual contributions, in
order 10 meet the current expenses.
Although no assurance has as vet
been given to the board by Mr. George
T. Tibbitts that he viii continue in his
February. the members hope that they
will succeed i'm their efforts OF attaining
this result provided that they are in
"A uosition to raise sufficient subscriptions
