w. E. Morgan, commissioner of the first road
district, stated that since his report of July II
he had built new road around the new line
of leyee in Smoke Bend, plowed and worked
with machines all roads fronting on the river
and on both sides of Bayou Lafourche to par
ish line: worked the Smoke Bend and Port
Barrow roads twice, and erected two bridges
and repaired two others. He stated that after
cutting what outlet drains that were absolutely
necessary to take off seipage water, he had let
up ditching until August co. since which time
he has cut outlet bitches in nearly all the
roads at places where they were most needed.
MIR. Morgan said that the only road that had
not vet been worked was the one known as
Brusly McGal, and that it could Mot be
worked when he was prepared to do SO on
account OF the ground being too hard to p1ow.
but that it would receive his attention just as
soon as the ground could be worked.

The defeat by the Senate OF Mr..
Foraker's race amendment to the
rate bill was a proper rebuke to that
pernicious politician, and it is
good to know that many Republican
Senator's united with the Democrats
in the decisive adverse vote. An at
tempt to inject into an important
public measure bearing upon the in
terests OF all the people a provision
applicable to local conditions in one
section, and utterly foreign to the
momentous question of rate-reg-
ulation, was the act OF u pettifogger
and demagogue rather than states
man. To Foraker as to Keller the
admonition is applicable, suppress
the brutal cruelty OF your own con-
stituents towards the negro before
you complain that his rose-leayes
are crumpled in the South.

is tender and well favored, but does
not look quite as we'll when cooked as
a rib roast, hence is more reasonable
in price. Another good piece for roast
ing which is not so expensive is the
cross rib. The neck and shoulder also
give small pieces suitable for pot roasts.
From the fore to hind legs of the
animal, running along the lower part,
is a thin strip Of fat and lean, which
in the fore quarter is called the plate
and navel; in the hind quarter it is
called the flank. Inside this strip in
the fore quarter is thin, lean piece
called the skirt steak, in which the
grain runs from side to side. A SINH
lar piece inside the flank is called the
flank steak; it is distinguished from
the skirt steak by the grain. which
runs from end to end. These two steaks
are excellent for stews where lean meat
is desired. They are fairly tender
when closely scored and carefully
broiled, and are excellent when spread
with stuffng, rolled and praised.
The flank, plate, navel and brisket
s (aDother thin piece running from the
shoulder to the neck) are generally

for stews OF Hamburg steak.

ART OF PoTT1Na PLANTs-n1.
Notes Of Fall Work Among the Flowers
Lilies.

Your Gala lily now wants fresh soil
composed of good loan and well-rotted
manure, and little sand added to keep
the earth loose. Stand the pot in q
saucer and keep the saucer filed with
water every day. Each morning throw
out stagnant water in the saucer and
fill with fresh. Water pretty warm is
preferable to cold water. Keep in
cool, sunny place and there will not be
much trouble in having Gala blooms.
Give generous supplies Of fresh air at
every convenient opportunity.
sometimes you may be annoyed with
earth worms IN the lily pots; if you see
by the condition of the soil that they
are there, water with weak lime water.
This will not hurt the plants, but It is
fatal to the worms.
Bulbs Of thes freesia should now be
potted and placed outside until well
rooted; then bring the bulb inside and
place In cool, sunny window. A five
inch pot will flower about fifteen bulbs
nicely. After buds are formed give
manure: water frequently and plenty Of
fresh air. IS
If grown in a cool temperature the
plant will be stronger, the flowers larg.
er and the stems firm. If grown in too
much heat or away from strong sun
they will grow up tall and spindling
and the flowers will be soft and short
lived. The poinsettias should soon be
taken In, as they. will stand but little
cold. q great matter with house plants

Lying direct underneath and along
the backbone is the tenderloin or fillet
which, when separated from the loin,
is worth anywhere from IS cents to
81 pound. It begins just beyond the
tip Of the sirloin, and where much meat
is consumed and choice portions are de-
sired, it is economical to buy a large
portion of the sirloin-from eighteen to
twenty pounds. The tenderloin may be
taken out and larded or roasted entire
or a portion may be cut into thick
slices for broiling. The thin end Of
the large piece will make good stews,
or, chopped and seasoned, Hamburg
steaks; the bones, separated from the
meat, will go into the stockpot. while
the remainder forms a tender roast or
a number Of fine steaks.
Back of the sirloin lies the rump,
which,in a ten-pound piece or more,
gives juicy, tender roast. Smaller
pieces dry out too much in cooking to
yield a satisfactory result and should
be praised or served as a pot roast.
The upper part Of the round, care
fully cooked, also yields good roast,
and some have it out into steaks; an
other piece also used for these purposes
is the top sirloin.
Of the fore quarter, the first six ribs
are the most tender and expensive.
Well maIbled with fat and earefvly
cooked, they give prime roasts, With

ORIGIN OF PICTURE POSTCARDS,

Picture postcards were invented in
Germany about decade ago, and for
some years they remained German
speciality at which foreigners were in
clined to smile as an ephemeral fad. To
day these cards are made in enormous
quantities in England, France and other
countries, but Germany still remains
their headquarters; last year about one
billion two hundred million of them
were mailed in the postoffices Of that
country; They represented value Of
different occupations are benefited there
by If any fresh stimulus had been
needed, it would have been supplied by
the extraordinary interest of the kaiser
in these cards. The other day he spent
two hours in having series of pho.
tographs taken Of himself in his divers
uniforms, to be reproduced in colors.
This was done at his own suggestion.
He also ordered series of views illus
trating his last Mediterranean cruise.
For these "kaiser pictures y there is
tion Of Keller s imperial family paint
ing on the occasion Of the silver wed
ding, over two millions have been sold.
None Of the kaiser cards, however, has
quite reached the popularity of the
