Passing of the Mixed Drink.

years ago. 1t Is not hard to stretch
ones memory to recall the time When
smashes and similar mixed drinks
We're common; but they are rarely
seen now. and even the mint julep

barrenders say cocktails are being
supplanted by straight drinks, and
they do not mix one drink now to
ten they put up dozen years ago.
Straight drinks and hiahballs are the
most popular ones to-day, but the

Eaus as a Food,

An Italian authority finds that when
hens are fed on food containing
large percentage of iron the eggs also
reveal the presence OF iron in the
very digestible form of the albumi-
nate. Such eggs exert tonic effect
on persons who eat them. The case
illustrates the fact that all eggs are
not alike by any means, and that, &C
cording to the food fed. they may
vary greatly in dietic value and et-

Home for the Governor.

While Alabama's capital is made quate it is a waste of words to say anything about a proper mansion for the head of the state, and yet Ken lucky, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, Georgia, Virginia, West Vir- ginia, Maryland, Wisconsin, Illinois, Nebraska, Louisiana, New York, Penn sylvania and Kansas furnish mansions for their governors, believing that the dignity of the office is better main tained in that way than in a boarding house or rented house. Besides the states that possess gubernatorial man sions, Indiana, Florida, Michigan, Con necticut, Oregon, California and New Jersey are discussing the subject, and they will probably house their gov ernors in befitting manner.
 The governors residence in Georgia cost $100,000, and the annual appro- priation for it's maintenance is S2000. Louisiana and Virginia are content with mansions that cost about $25,000 each in ante-bellum days, and there is really no reason why Alabama should not furnish a similar home for its gov ernor. The chief executive of state whose taxable values are increasing at the rate of s2O,OOO,OOO year should be decently domiciled, and without reference to the action of other states no doubt this will become an issue in the legislature of 1907.

The Venezuelan trouble is again in the course of settlement, and this time The Hague tribunal is to hear the case. Two protocols or sets of submission points are to be prepared, the first to relate solely to the preference in pay ment set up by the allied powers. The Hague court will be asked to determine whether the allies are entitled to pref erential treatment, the blockade to be raised as soon as the protocol is signed, and 9550O is paid to Great Britain, and a like sum promised to both Germany and Italy in thirty days.
 A second protocol will be prepared covering the entertainment of the claims against Venezuela, and the manner of their payment. The second protocol will not it Is assumed, be drawn up until the tribunal has passed upon the first protocol.
 The transfer of the case to The Hague not only raises the blockade at once, but it will bring to the whole
