THE COOKBOOK.

Fresh fish should not be soaked in wa
ter before cooking. This treatment ruins
the flavor and makes it soft.
Laurel leaves as seasoning or havoring
substance should be banished from cook
ing and the bay leaf substituted in their
stead.
After broth has been carefully skim
med, and still little atoms of grease appear
over the surface, lay n piece of clean brown
paper over the top, and the grease will
cling to it.
Cornmcal will not keep as well as flour,
so if you do not use much of it buy only
in small quantity and keep in a cool, dark
place. When it gets old, it has n nusty
flavor that makes it unfit for use.
The liver of the calf is better than any
other, not even excepting goose liver.
Lambs liver is also better favored, more
tender and less dry than that of sheep.
Those livers which present dark streaks
and sandy spots are unfit to lie eaten.

DRESS PARADE.
Odd and very striking colors are still
used on all fashionable headwear.

odd and very striking colors are suilA
used on all fashionable headwear.
All the pretty spring capes are very
short, very full and very much trimmed.
Smart little jacket bodices and boleros
are as popular as If this were the initial
season of their vogue.
A very large portion of the thin summer
gowns will be made with Marie Antoi-
nette flchu or other style of cape or bertha
en- suite.
The uses of ribbon this season are mani
fold, and there is hardly dressy toilet
without some touch of ribbon, on the bod
ice at least.
Some of the new French millinery show
very oddly shaped hats formed of gilt
straw tulle and green, violet or brilliant
red milan braid.
Red in various tones and semitones will
prevail during the entire spring season
among many dress fabrics, fancy jackets,
trimmings and in fashionable millinery.
Some, of the new untrimmed hats of
very openwoElz straw look far more like
fancy workbaskets than like any sort OF
covering or protection for woman's head
Ivory white, cream, butter colored and
black accordion plated chiffon or crepe
ming on dressy hat and bonnet models for
Easter time and thereafter.
1t will be acceptable news to many who
admire them to hear that the rich, deep
yellow lace straws and other fancy braids
so popular two years ago are revived
among the other more startling headgear
modes for the dress season following Eas-
ter.
There is no limit to the variety of bod
ice decoration, but among the leading
modes are surplice effects, many of the
folded corsages ending in graceful scarf
ends that are finished with lace and inser-
ton when of delicate textiles.-New York

BEE BUZzEs.

When there is plenty of honey, there is
neither robbing nor fighting.
Keep plenty of honey in the brood cham
Der and everything as, dry as possible.
The very best colonies should be used
for queen bearing, the rest divided up.
The bee provides its own living, hunts
its own pastures, gathers its own winter
stores and furnishes more than ample to
pay for its case and hive lodging.
Nearly all beekeepcrs agree that a hive
should never face the north, the majority
favoring southerly direction. The morn
ing sun entices the bees out to work carly.
Mover shake the bees off 4 frame having
queen bees on it, or in any way suddenly
jar it. Queen cells are much more liable to
injury while on the frame than when
taken from where they We're built.-St.
Louis Republic.

Story of the Fighting mt
Mati-Other News.

London, April 26.-The most serious
feature in the Greco-Turkish emergency
is the revolutionary feeling displayed at
Athens. Ex-Minister Rail-, leader of the
principal position group in the legislative
assembly, threatened, unless the military
staff was changed. he would issue procla-
nation to his people. His statements act
ed like oil on fire and the popular excite
ment has fared up. Crowds assembled
to, discuss them today and wanted to
march to the palace to read them to King
George. Fortunately heavy showers
drove the people indoors
M. Delyannis, keenly alive to the neces-
sity of immediate action, had an audience
with the king, and after the interview an
nounced that the staff of the crown prince
would be recalled and that ex-Minister
Ball. with three of his nominees-Gen.
Smolenski, Gen. Mavromichaelis and Col.
Dimopolo-wOuld be appointed to replace
them.
NJ. Bali, in published interview, stated:
"The moment Constantine arrived at the
seat of war the sole thought of the respon-
sible commanders was not to attack or
withstand the Turks, but to effect safe
RETREAT if necessary. All orders ema-
mated from the palace. Those issued by
any one else were ignored. When dis
patches were sent to Gen. Mavrom0miah
he was not where he was supposed to be
having been moved on by superior order
M. Bali attended the council at the
palace.
The Daily Telegraph's Athens dispatch
will say tomorrow:
All of NJ Balli's conditions have beer
accepted. The king gives carte blanche
to him.
Late tonight (Monday) crowds are pa
rading menacingly in the vicinity of the
palace.
1t is reported on good authority thai ar
rangements are being made to enable the
royal family to leave the country hastily
in case of necessity. People had generally
credited the rumors that the crown prince
would be recalled and the government was
willing to consider police Overtures. L
is impossible to say. what will NAPIER

tinued and the crown prince retained il

FEARED A LYNCHING.

Waco, Tex, April 2e.-(SpecialJ J.
Capt. d. r. Emerson, sheriff of Falls
county, arrived this afternoon, having in
charge Columbus Shederick, a colored
man. The Falls county sheriff turned
his prisoner over to Sheriff Baker. The
object in lodging Shederick in the Nc
Lehman county Jail is to avoid a possible
lynching, which Sheriff Emerson has rea-
son to believe is contemplated by the
friends of Robert Boyd, farmer Of the
western portion of Falls county, who was
shot and instantly killed near Durango
yesterday afternoon. Mr.. Boyd was a
highly respected citizen Of his commu-
nifty. He was called to his door and shot
dead. The assailant used winchester
carbine, the bullet piercing Mr.. Boyd's
heart. After shooting his victim, the
man fled and for many hours thereafter
squads of angry men secured the coun-
try Intense excitement prevails in the
Durango precinct, and after the pris-
oner was lodged in Jail at Marlin, angry
men were seen on the streets of Marlin,
therefore instant removal to Waco was
suggested and acted upon. Extra precau-
tons will be taken here to protect the
negro. Waco and Marlin are about the
same distance from Durango, and there
thought to be about as much danger of
an attack here as was the case at Marlin.

A DisorderIy Retreat.

London, April 26.-A special dispatch
from the headquarters of the Turkish
army near Tyrnavo, Thessaly, published
today, says:
have just received from Edhem Pasha
confirmation of the disorderly retreat of
the Greeks. Seated in captured Greek
tent he said to me in French: at is fin
lshed. No one, however, understands why
the Greeks abandoned position natural
ly strong and well fortified"
Edhem Pasha believes the Turks would
speedily have crushed the Greeks, but it
is said that the Greek commander was
warned of the arrival of the Turks by a
priest, belonging to the Greek village, who
heard the Albanian soldiers singing. The
Greeks fled southwark, destroying bridges
and leaving vast quantities of store of
barley, maize and sardines, and above ALL
brandy. A Turkish officer jokingly re-
marked to me: ''The Greek officers must
live on brandy"
At Tyrnavo the shops were found to be
empty and the population had entirely dis
appeared.
Edhem Pasha is maintaining strict or
der, has posted sentinels at the doors of
all the churches and all the prisoners are
treated humanely.
