How to Make Meat cr,ouettes.

For six persons, have about one pint
of finely chopped cooked meat. Add
one tablespoonful each of flour and
salt; three of butter; one teaspoonful
of pepper; one-half pint of water.
Make a thicl1ening of the flour, water
and butter, and heat to a boil, then add
the meat to which the seasoning has
been added. Cook few minutes, then
remove from the fire. When cool,

balls. Dip each one into beaten egg,
then roll in fine bread crumbs, being
careful to see that every part is coated.
Fry in deep fat, arrange on n napkin
and serve at once.

An important decision has just been

cover one that he had given to young
woman who, after accepting the ring,
reppdiated the engagement. The
judge decided that it must be returned
or else that the recipient must fulfill
the conditions under which it was pre-

years ago decided that an engagement

There will be chrysanthemum shows in
over thirty eastern cities from Novem Der

Santa Paula and Santa Barbara will all
have chrysanthemnm shows in this state,
and why not one in Los Angeles? There
are enough flowers and flower lovers in
this city to have a magnificent and sue

ALEssON FROn rExIcO

Acting upon the recvmmen dation of
President Diaz, the ..exican congress has
passed . bill providing for so amending
the federal constitutions that neither
states nor municipalities shall have tie
right to tax foreign or domestic m erchan-
disc entering or in transit through their
respective jurisdictions. There is no
doubt that the measure will be passed in
the senate, and Mexico will then have
taken the step this country took when
it shuffied off the old confederation and
became the United States in 1898.
However, it must be admitted that de-
spite the splendid illustrations we have
had of the beneiicence of interstate free
trade for hundred years, we have yet
with us remnants of the old barbaric sys-
tenn in municipal tariffs. which the
amended Mexican constitution will abol-
:sh in that republic.
For instance in California, and right
hcre in Los Angeles, local tariff laws ex-
ist and have existed for years. Not only
