CARE OF HOUSE PLANTS.
Simple Directions That Are Worth
Needing and Remembering.

Be careful not to overwater them.
To find out If they need water rap
the side of the pot with your knuckles.
If it rings clear and sharp the plant
needs watering
II there is a dun sound the soil Ia
already moist enough.
Let the soil get fairly dry before
wetting 1t again.
Plants thrive much better II not
permanently kept In %jardinieres.
The average living room is too hot
and dry for growing things, They are
best kept In a cool room and moved
to hot rooms only for temporary deco
ration.
The extremes of day and night In q
window sill are too much for most
plants. Garry them into the middle OF
the room at night.
Keep a pan of water In the room
where they are kept; give them plant
food; spray them free from dust, and
keep a sharp lookout for pests.
In ventilating the room see that the
current of cold air does not strike
them directly; and remember that gas
flames are deadly to them.

legislature
rWENrY.sEcorD DAY.

The legislative feature of interest to-
day was the passage by the Senate Of
the Harrell bill, to exempt from taxation
money loaned at a rate Of 6 per cent. or
less. There was q lively skirmish over
the bill, as some of the senator's believed
it to be a measure affecting revenue, and
if so, a constitutional objection inter
yened, even against its consideration by
the Senate. The bill passed by a vote
of is to IA.
A bill of some interest was introduced
in the Senate providing for an increase
of salaries of the attorney general, the
assistant attorney general and a further
allowance for stenographer, and ior con-
tingent expenses. This is in ltie with
a recommendation of the outgoing gov.
ernor.
1t was local and private legislation
day in the House, with but little legis-
lation of that character up for action.
The action of the committee in report.
ing favorably on the bill to repeal the
act of 1906, whereby the county of Har-
rison was divided into Two court dis
tricts, was not unexpected, though for
the present the report will lie on the
table at the request of the chairman OF
the committee.
The House passed, after some debate,
the bill authorizing boards of supervisors
of counties to create, at their discretion
and upon the authority of taxpayers,
county departments of agriculture, to be
superintendent by a local superintendent
or commissioner. This is considered a
good, practical measure, and is in line
with what has been done in other
States with good results.
Mr.. Caldwell presented a minority
report on the George county bill. The
minority report points out that the
petition to the Legislature is signed by
600 taxpayers of Green and jackson
counties, from which it is proposed to
take the required territory; that it
would leave jackson county with 600
square miles, Green with rs square
miles and give George county $50 miles,
and that the signatures to the petition
represent 90 per cent. of the adult pop
ulation and taxpayers. The new our
ty would have property of taxable value
of $2,400, 900, jackson 81 100000 and
Greene S2,750,00O.
Mr.. Bloomfield introduced a concur
rent resolution which would call on the
Mississippi senators and representative
in Congress to urge on the navy depart,
ment to send the battleship Mississippi
to the harbor at Horn Island, which is
deep enough, to receive her silver ser
vice. Mr.. Bloomfield stated that the
resolution was the outgrowth of a peti,
ton signed by all the business men and
prominent people of Paseagoula and
Jackson county. The resolution was
adopted.
Mr.. Graham of Kemper, who has pre-
viously introduced a concurrent resolu'
ton to make the judges and chancellors
elective, introduced another of the SAINT
character, the purpose of which is tc
make the office of judge of the Supreme
Court elective, and. giving to the Legis
lature the authority to increase the
bench from three to Ave judges.

~TWENTY.THIRD DAY.
House.

The House was in session q short
while today, during which one or two
rather significant matters were attended
to. One of these was the passage of the
House concurrent resolution, the pur-
pose of which is to cause to be submit
ted to the qualified electors an amend.
ment abolishing the office of county
treasurer. The proposed amendment
simply ~re-enacts the present constitu-
tional provision providing for county of
ficers, but eliminates from the list that
of treasurer, and giving to the Legilsas
ture the power to provide for the keep
ing and custody of the county funds.
The amendment is to be submitted to
the electors on the first Tuesday in No
vember, but if carried at the polls the
measure would not be effective until af-
ter the present four-year term.
The ~liveliest debating took place over
the House bill introduced recently to
change the grading of salaries of teach
ers in the common schools, and in the
application of the surplus school funds,
as provided under section 1855 of the
code of 1906. The bill was voted down
i to SO.
The committee on public buildings and
grounds, to which had been referred the
bill to provide for the maintenance and
equipment of the State capitol and car
rying on the State government, reported
the Measure back favorably, nut re-
quested a reference to the committee on
appropriations.
Mr.. Burkett, from the committee on
public education, reported back the bill
30 establish and maintain a white State
normal school for the training of teach
ers, with the recommendation that it do
not pass.
The same committee also reported
back the bill providing that the governor
and attorney general be added to the
State text book commission, also with
the recommendation that it do not pass.
Mr.. Yewell, from the committee on
constitution, reported back the concur
rent resolution providing for an amend.
ment qualifying persons to vote after
a six months residence in an election
district, that it do not pass.
Mr.. Cavett introduced a bill to au-
tharize boards Of supervisors of counties
to pension in their discretion the wives
Of those dependent on any citizen of the
county who might be killed while acting
as a member Of q properly organized
posse, in the name OF the law.
Mr.. Williams introduced a bill to Gre
ate the office Of State bank commission.
er and a State banking board, and pre-
scribing their duties.
Mr.. Gardner introduced a resolution
to provide that the presidents of the
several State collegiate institutions be
required to furnish a complete list Of
teachers and other employees, their ma
tionality and condition, wheEher mar
ried or single, and the compend tion paid
to them.
Mr.. helms, chairman of the Committee
on banks and banking, called p the bill
to require all persons in charr& Of banks
and branch banks to furnkh balance
statements to the auditor attleast four
times in each year. There yks no dras-
tic change involved in the lyill, and it
passed without opposition.

Hollandaise Sauce.

using butter instead of olive oil. 1t
is the best sauce for serving with sal
mon or other boiled fish II you desire
1t hot. 1t requires a quarter pound
butter, half a lemon, the yolks OF
two eggs, a little salt and a half tea
spoonful Of white pepper, The secret
OF its successful making Is to pre-
serve an we temperature. The
sauce should not approach the boiling
point, as the eggs would cook and the
sauce curdle. Put the eggs in a small
saucepan and add the butter gradually,
stirring constantly with a wooden
spoon. 1t will soon thicben like a
mayonnaise. When the butter Is all
In, add salt and pepper, and lastly the
lemon juice, stirring until well mixed,
II the sauce becomes too thick add A
little stock or hot water. Surround the
fish with parsley and slices Of lemon
and serve the sauce in a bowl. A
few sliced cucumbers should be served
with flgh.

a%ppropriating $25O,000 a year for the
support of the penitentiary and an emer-
gency fund of $4,000 a year, or SO
much as is needed. Mr.. West moved to
amend by changing the amount from
S25O,000 to $25, 1000.
Mr.. Tucker explained the absolute
necessity of the larger sum, basing their
request chiefly on the fact that one thou
sand acres had just been opened to eul.
t~iyation and supplies, live stock, etc,
must be bought therefor. The bill
passed.
The next bill was an act to carry into
effect IN act to provide for a state

TW%ENTY,FoURTH DAY

Among the events Of interest in legis
latiye circles today was the receipt OF
the first special message from Gov. Noel,
a document that he had expected to send
in yesterday, connected with the princi-
pal subject matter of this message, which
was an expression of his positive views
on State prohibition, and the import
ance OF having a strong enactment, lies
in the fact that Gov. Noel had not at
first considered it necessary to make any
special recommendation along this line,
but seeing the drift of the current to-
ward procrastination, he has thought to
best to offer a few suggestions.
The Senate, by a vote OF 30 to 5, has
declared itself in favor of the State de
pository system, in passing the Potter
bill, providing for the change from the
present fiscal system. The bill provides
for the placing Of surplus funds IN hand
on deposit at not less than : per cent.
per annum, in State or national banks
OF approved standing and responsibility,
the banks to be selected with care and
judgment, though any bank may apply
for the privilege of keeping these funds,
The deposits shall be subject to pay
ment on demand by the State auditor,
on the warrant of that official, the de.
posits and Withdrawals to be subject to
such rules as the State treasurer may
prescribe.
In the House the concurrent resolution
providing for abolishing the office OF
county treasurer passed on its second
reading by a vote of 81 to Is, and sew
eral bills were passed upon the recon-
mendation of the appropriations com
mittse. Among these was the bill car,
rying the necessary amount for the care
and custody OF the State capital and the
expenses of the government.
Among the bills introduced in the
House was one the purpose of which is
to increase the pay of the secretary OF
state to $4,000 a year, and also one rails
ing the salary of the experimenting
physician at the State insane hospital to
the same figure.

Hnusn

The defeat of the bill providing for a
slight increase of $500 in the salary of
the State superintendent of education
by the close vote of so to IS, was one
of the surprises in the Legislature to-
day.
The customary adjournment resolution
was presented to the House today, pro-
viding for final adjournment on Tuesday,
March 10, and was adopted without a
word of objection. Should the Senate
agree to this that date will be fixed, and
the solons must work up accordingly.
The committee on liquor traffic sub;
mitted its lookcd-for report to the House
this morning, with three bills, which are
recommended for passage as amended
by the committee.
