brief study of the topic and as much
practical work as possible. Begin
ming of course with the cooking of
simple things such as baked potatoes,
and cereals and vegetables. Then
the meat lessons are very important.
To aid us in the study of these we
have large charts illustrating the
cuts of the different animals BY
these the girls get a much clearer
idea of the location Of the different
cuts where the best ones are, etc.
Following these we take up the study
of batters which lead to bread MAX
ing. And so on through the course
having the pastries, cakes, desserts
invalid cookery and various others.
The girls learn the different effects
of water and heat upon foods, the
food values, composition, proper
combination, care, cooking and serv-
ing of foods.
Besides the cooking the girls are
trained in proper methods OF clean
ing. The care of the kitchen is
taught. This, of course, lis very es-
sential. Then, too, the care of the
dining room is discussed and the cor
rect ways for setting the table and
servinb meals is learned At the end
of the year we hope to have some of
the classes serve luncheons the girls
doing all the cooking, decorating and
serving. Although it would be diff
ferent to give systematic work in
cooking without an equipment it is
possible to study typical vegetables
fruits, grains and meats with refer
ence to best mode of cooking them.
Here are few suggestions. A shock
of corn or wheat, vegetables, fruit or
pan of milk may be procured with
little trouble. These may furnish
material for many practical lessons
in the study Of foods. Simple expert
ments to determine the composition
of foods may be performed. The
time is not far distant when a know
ledge of the principles of diet will be
an essential part of ones education.

and art,
We may live without conscience and
live without heart.
We may live without friends. We
may live without books,
But civilized man cannot live without
cooks"

Douma Strikes "Autocrap Out.


That the title of autocrat, which has
been borne by the czars of Russia for
centuries. is no longer tenable or COM
patible with the constitutional regime
proclaimed by the present car in 1905
was affirmed by the douma now in ses-
sion at st. Petersburg last week after
a stormy debate on the speech from
the throne. BY vote of 246 to 112
the word autocrat was struck from the
reply. which was then passed unani-
mously amid scenes of intense excite
ment. Members rose in their places.
cheered and sang the national anthem.
The final vote was taken after the
withdrawal of the Monarchists on the
one hand and the Social Democrats and
Group of Toll on the other The result
was regarded as a victory for the Con-
stitutlonal Democrats under the leader
ship of Professor Milukoff. All of the
amendments proposed by the Poles
and the Group of Toll had been first re-
jected. The Socialists took no part in
the proceedings
Portugal Denies Revolution.
Premier Franco sent to American
papers a positive denial of the persist
ent reports that Portugal was in vir-
tual state of revolution. Nevertheless
the stability of King Carlos govern
ment was generally questioned, as it is
known that nearly all parties had unit
ed recently to enforce the return to n
parliamentary form. Even the mer-
chants and moneyed classes were said
to be working hand in glove with the
rcvolutionists, while the regular army
was believed to be ready to forsake
Carlos. On the other hand, the king
and his premier say that 1t is nothing
but a tempest In teapot caused by
the dropping of few useless offices
held by courtiers. This was done to
Increase the royal income and stave
off the bankruptcy of the royal family.
Money is scarce and business is great
ly depressed Many arrests followed
the discovery of depot Of bombs at
Lisbon and the disclosure of serious
plot in which the crown prince, Luis
Philippe, was involved and for which
he was banished from court. The king
is credited with starting the present
crisis by trying to reform the prevail
ing political corruption.

with greater experience" The recipe

THE RtAKSECKER TRIAL
 BEFORE SUPERVISORS
The Evidence Regarding the Defend ants Place of Business at Alhambra IS Conflicting.

The complaint made by many of the residents of Alhambra that the place Of business conducted by E. F. Reak- seeker there. was not a Christian in stitution and praying for the revOCa- ton of Reaksecker's liquor license was heard or partly heard yesterday, be- fore the board of supervisors. At the close of the day the defendant wanted one more witness who had not appear ed and the matter was allowed to go over until next Thursday.
 This proceeding under the new law giving boards of supervisors power to revoke licenses for cause. was the first of the kind brought before the board. There was a cloud of witnesses in sup port of the complaint and the rest of the population of Alhambra and a considerable portion of that of Phoe- nix, filled the offices of the board to suffocation.
 Sheriff Hayden when he saw the throng pouring into the corridor of the court house. offered a suggestion calculated to relieve the certain con gestiOn. He advised the members of the board to remove the hearing to the district court room and further said that the members of the board might don the robes of the supreme court. The suggestion was not acted upon and the hearing proceeded.
 The complaint charged the defend ant with having since April l violated the law by selling liquor to minors by selling 10 d habitual drunkard and by permitting minors and women to loiter about the saloon. The names of the minors and the habitual drunkard to whom liquor had been sold were given along with the dates of the va riOus transactions. The dates when women had been seen in and about the saloon, were given, but the names 0f the women were unknown to tie cOmplainantS.
 The first witness in support of the complaint was Henry Renaud who tes- tified as to the habits of r. K Noble. the alleged habitual drunkard. The

Where did you hear that?" asked Captain Alexander heatedly and he proceeded to deny vigorously that he had made any such statement.
 Both the boy.- Perez, and his em- ployer Quihuis. denied the authentic ity of the order. Quihuis' denial was indignant. He said that il svas true that he had sent the boy with orders after liquor. but he had never written any such order as that; it was a libel on his scholarly ability. He told the supervisors that if they would provide him with pen and a piece of paper he would prove that he could write bet ter than that. He was asked by Cap tain Alexander how much he had been paid for coming to testify. IL was then that Mir. Quihuis began tO sit up and take notice. He replied "I paid noth- ing" and leaning forward he asked. eagerly, How much I get?"
 The wife of the defendant testified that women were never seen in the saloon as customers. She said that refrigerator was kept in the saloon, that she and her daughters went there after provisions which were kept in the refrigerator and after ice water. now and then. Regarding the testi- mony of witness Banks. that he had seen women drinkging in the saloon at certain time. she said that a couple of ladies were visiting her. and they went with her to the refrig- orator after something. She saw Mir. Banks at that time. but it was her im- pression that one in his condition then was incapable of noticing anything
 Regarding the statement of Witness Strait that he saw a woman stagger- ing away from tho place. Mrs Reak- seeker also remembered that time and occasion. Three women had stopped there in buggy. but they had not gone into the saloon. One of them was a sufferer from rheumatism. IL was that affliction which the unprac- ticed eyes of NIT. Strait had taken for uncertainty of movement due to over indulgence in strong drink The wo- man was to be pitied rather than blamed
 A couple of women neighbors tes- tified that they had frequently visited the Reakseckers and had been in the store and the pOstoffice. but had never seen any sign of disorder.

witness was an employe of Noble. El- mer Hughert had also seen Noble drink in the saloon. Fred Charlesbois had drunk beer with a boy by the name of Levi who had been mentioned in the complaint as one of the minor patrons of the place. Charlebois also saw three women drinking there. Levi was a witness and he SWore that he had bought three bottles of beer there at the time alleged. J. A. Banks swore that he had seen a woman drinking in the place and H. F. Hustemeyer swore that he had frequently taken Noble away from the place. drunk. There was testimony that liquor had been sold by Reaksecker to Juan Perez. who in turn said that he had drunk with TeadorO Baldinaldo. another minor. who did not appear. and on whose ac- count the hearing was finally ad- jOurned. Al. Strait said that he had seen three women coming away from the saloon and one of them was stag gering notiyaably.
 In the af. rnoon Reaksecker himself took the sa nd. He denied all that had been eged against him except the sale of E uor to Noble. He did not believe ths Noble was what might be called runkard. He frequently got drunk. but he was not always drunk. Wh he was drunk. the de- fendant said e had refused to sell him liquor and lten had put him out of the place.
 Regardingv the sale of liquor to minors. the defendant could recall nothing of the allegations of the com plaint except the charge that he had sold to Perez. which he admitted. He had however sold to him on a written order from his employer one Quihuis for whom the boy worked and who had sent him after the liquor
 The order was offered in evidence by Captain Alexander. attorney for Reak- seeker. and was strenuously objected to by Assistant District Attorney Frank H. Lyman. The latter said that in its present form il would not in any circumstances be proper evil dence and moreover il could cut no ice, since nowhere in the law was a Saloonkeepcr permitted to sell to a minor on an order. Captain Alexander replied that the board of supervisors was not a court, but was composed of gentlemen of horse sense. and who were entirely competent to pass upon the admissibility of the order He said further, that the board constitut- cd the jury from whose finding there could be no appeal.
 MT. Lyman replied that Captain AL eXander had said that If the decision went against his client he would go before the supreme court on writ of certiOrari.
