We ought to offer prizes for their best
and most palatable preparation.
Fancy cooking for great dinners and
parties will always receive undue at
tention. Pies and cakes and gim-
cracks of all kinds are always out
rageously plentiful. Go to a picnic
and the baskets gorged with jelly
cakes, tarts, pastry and such like
sweetmeats, while good, honest bread
and butter or we'll made sandwich
are as rare as dollars in contribution
box. What men in active business
want is, not fancy French cooking,
but the common necessarie* uf life
well, wholesomely and palatably
cooked. Ladies, please throw the full
blaze Of your domestic genius on
potatoes and vegetables, generally,
wheat-bread, corn-bread, eggs, coffee.
tea, things plain and substantial, and
your husbands will be happier, and
your sons and daughters will be
healthier and brighter and you will
keep the doctor out Of his fee. One
more thought in this connection as
the preacher would say: Don't throw
the food on the table as if it was done
with barn shovel. Make the table
artistic. Have a good, clean, white
table cloth, and the dishes in good,
well arranged order Taste of this
sort adds zest to appetite. 1 remem-
Der once eating at a well-to-dO home
with an oilcloth for the table cover,
two kinds of cOlored dishes, three
varieties of tumblers, two bowls and
some odd knives-I lost my appetite.
When porcelain ware and glassware
are so very cheap, no plea OF poverty
necessitates such fragrant violations
of good taste. An artistic display of
good linen and bright white dishes
are even some compensation for bad
cooking. To place a bouquet on the
tea table in this land of flowers, is the
best of taste. 1t gives a flavor of
poetry to the meal and elevates and
enriches ideas and conversation.
Ladies of Blue Earth county, do
not give your abilities and ambition
wholly to French cooking and sweet
cakes, but wrestle with the mighty
and useful problems of every day food
made UhOlaSOma and paIatabla NV
your genius, and decorate your tables
with true taste, and you shall have
statues of glory in the hearts of all
good men. }. HI. BAKER.

However.
LONDON, March lit is stated here
that there is good authority for believ.
ing that the result of the conferences
between the representatives of tho
great powers at Constantinople and
Athens will be the presentation of col
lective notes to Turkey and Greece
within "a hours.
Greece will be allowed four days to
recall her land and sea forces from
Crete. 1t is reported from Canea thai
several insurgent leaders have sent to
Vice Admiral Canevaro of the Italian
feet signed declaration that the Gre
tans will accept no solution of the
pending question, but political union
with Greece.
Fighting continues between the in
surgents and Mussulmans near RetimO
and elsewhere. The Christians be-
sieged the Turkish garrisons in the
blockhouse at Malata for several days.
Sunday body Of Turkish regulars and
irregulars left Canea with a convoy to
revictual the blockhouse. The insur-
gents attacked the column and killed
several of the escort, whereupon the
Turkish battleship Fuad opened fire
continued the firing until stopped by
order of the foreign admirals. The
convoy was finally compelled to retire.
Continued Fighting Around Canea.
The latest advices from Canea report
that fighting betw cen the besieged gar
rison and the Cretans continues. The
villages of Trikalaria and Nerokouro,
in the same district, have been, it is re-
ported, burned by the Bashibazouks.
Fighting continues also outside Cam
dia. The Christians have repulsed the
Turks.
Dispatches from Athens state that a
number of Cretan deputies, headed by
the bishop of Retimo, have presented
King George with memorial which
states in effect that autonomy, instead
of pacifylng the island, will
only pave the way for anoth-
er revolution later Oh. and still
further endangor the peace of Europe ,
and that, therefore, the Cretans are
resolved to continue the struggle until
political union with Greece, there long
cherished hope, is realized.
1t is reported that 300 more volun-
teers have evaded the blockade es-
tablished by the powers and landed
safely on the southeast coast of Crete

Appropriations of the Present
Congress Will Break All
Former Records.
This Notwithstanding an Early
Determinat ton to Scale
Expenditures.
The Presidents Forest Reserve
Proclamation Killed by
the Senate.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-Speaker
Reed and the other Republican leaders
Of the house entered upon the final
,ession of the Fifty-fourth congress
with the avowed determination that
no legislation which compelled great
expenditures of public money should
be enacted during the session. They
felt compelled to adopt this policy be-
cause of the condition of the treasury
and they have generally adhered to it,
although the regular appropriation
bills for the support of the government
have brought the total appropriations
of this congress far beyond the $1,00O,-
100000 mark, breaking the record of
former congresses. Many of the ap-
preparations were necessary to continue
works authorized by other congresses
No public buildings have been started
by this congress and no new battleships
Or vessels of any description, although
the creation of navy begun several
years ago, has been by no means aban-
doned.
Passed Many Private Pension Bills.
One feature of the sessions record
worthy of note is the great number of
private pension bills passed, many of
them placing the widows of officers on
the pension rolls at ratings ranging
from $50 to $75 month. Several of
the pension bills were vetoed by Presi.
dent Cleveland, but congress enacted
some of these despite the veto.
Several important bills are in the
hands of the president, awaiting his
action, foremost among them the i'm.
migration bill which establishes an
educational test for immigrants and
bars out laborers who maintain their
homes in other countries.
Necessarily the policy of the house
to avoid new legislation which in
volved expenditures has been enforced
upon the senate. The Nicaragua canal
bill which was discussed at great
length in the senate, but not voted
on, was not taken up in the house, nor
was the free home bill which the sem
ate passed.

SENATE MET SUNDAY.
Spent the Sabbath Discussing the Sundry
Civil Bill.

Bill.
WASHINGTON, March 1.-The usual
Sunday quiet of the capitol building
was disturbed by a session of the SEN
ate made necessary to pass apprOpria-
ton bills. Large crowds filled the gal
leries and overfowed to the corridors.
The attendance of senators was even
greater than that through the week,
the absentees, other than those out of
town or sick, numbering only H. The
sundry civil appropriation bill was I'M
der consideration, number of impor-
tant items, the payment of sugar
bounties, for rivers, harbors, etc., re-
manning to be passed upon. A vote on
the sugar bounty amendment was tax
en- as soon as the session opened and it
was agreed to, 81 to IL. The amend
ment appropriates $1,OS5, l56 for the
balance of bounties earned from Au-
gust, 1894, to June. 1895. The river
and harbor items were next considered,
most of the committee amendments be-
ing agreed to as reported.
That Forest Reserve Order.
An extended debate occurred on an
amendment offered by Mr.. Clark of
Wyoming designed to counteract the
presidents recent order withdrawing
q, 900, 900 acres of land from the pub.
lie domain, and creating forest reser-
vations. Mr.. Clark criticised the pres
ident's order as arbitrary, saying the
people of the states affected had not
been consulted. 1t was, he said, the
most serious blow aimed at the Western
country since the present congress
came into existence
Mr.. Carter of Montana, who was COM
missioner of the land Office at the time
an inquiry into forest reserves was be.
gun, also criticised the presidents Or
der as hasty and in total disregard to
vast interests. Towns, villages, mills
and mines had been 1ndiscriminately
included within these forest reserves.
Senators Pettigrew, Wilson, Dubois
and Mantle also spoke in criticism, and
the amendment was unanimously
adopted.

Railroad Bill Aimed at Them Is Passed
by the House.
WASHINGTON, March AFTER sew
eral important amendments had been
made the anti-scalper bill passed the
house by a vote of 142 to 81. Though
the viva voce vote was clearly for
passage, division was demanded by
opponents of the bill and members
were obliged to stand and be counted.
A further demand for roll call, which
would have put memoirs on record,
was not sustained by sufficient num-
Der, and roll call was refused
Though the bill cannot pass the SEN
ate at this session, its adoption by the
house by such large majority is ex-
tremely significant and points to an
early prohibition of the business OF
scalping railroad tickets.
