New Orleans, April 27.-tSpecial)- The Barons were up against too good a hitting combination to win this aft ernoon. They caught the Pelicans in the best form of the season and the home boys were decidedly easy winners, to l. Good fielding of the Barons kept the score down as the locals amassed nine hits, one home-run, two triples and one double.
 Most of the hitting was at the eX- pense of Moxie Manuel. who once sport ed Pelican spangles The Pels punched two singles for one run in the third, and in the fourth Weimer's homer and Jackson's triple drove Manuel to the bench, Bauer succeeding him.

HINTS FOR HoUsEKEEPERs

The kitchen is a country where new
discoveries can always be made.
The fact that the housewife who is
continually trying new dishes ana
changing her methods of doing things
is apt to keep both herself and her
household in a turmoil is no excuse Tor
old housekeepers to refuse to listen TO
new and easier methods and to learn
new and better ways of preparing ev-
eryday food. What was good enough
for our forefathers" in many cases
can be improved upon. This by way
of explanation of a few articles that
are to appear in this department DUR
ing the present year, telling some OF
the newways of doing things and
giving some choice recipes that are
taught by professionals in the pubic
schools of one of our large cities.
The experienced and progressive
housewife need only run through this
department to be sure that there is
nothing here that she wants, but we
believe there are many who VIII ma
some of these "hints" we'll worth tax
ing.
because mother did" is an excuse
often heard when women are asked
whv they do a certain thing in GER
tain manenr. They learned to do 1t
when young and continue in the same
old way without questioning II tnere
is a better method.
In these recipes where spoonful is
mentioned it means level spoonful OF
material and when half a spoonful is
indicated the spoon should be hlied 10
the level and then divided legthwlse
of the spoon. 1t has taken the makers
of cook books a long while to arrive
at this point and many dish mas peen
snoiled by the maker not knowing
whether a spoonful should be lever,
heaping or merely rounded. II those
who cook wish uniformly good results
they will not guess at the amounts 10
be used, but will accurately measure
ali ingredients every time. Many
cake, custard and pie has been ruined
by lack of attention to the size OF the
eggs used.
The great majority of women at some
time or other in their lives are calleu
upon to do more or less cooking, there-
fore girls should be taught to COOK ex
cent the very few whose position ana
wealth make 1t highly improbable tnat
thew will ever need to know anything
about such work. If we teach our girls
that good cooking is an accomplish
ment. perhaps we can lift II out OF the
list of disagreeable duties.

cluny and torchon, make effective
trimmings, and lace or embroidery
motif set into the fabric increase the
luxurious effect. Hand embroideries
in eyelet or solid madeira work, and
particularly in the new very fashion
able dot and scallop effects, are al
ways charming when one cares to take
the trouble.
Wider ribbons are used on the very
smart Partisan lingerie, these ribbons
being threaded through hand worked
buttonholes in the fabric or through
very fine Swiss embroidery headings.
The tiny "baby" ribbons are seen now
only on the cheaper grades of under
muslins shown on the bargain coun-
ters.
Petticoats are most important part
of the summer wardrobe, and two
lengths should be provided, one for
trotabout skirts and the other for
piazza and evening frocks. The very
sheer lingerie frock has, of course, its
slip of fine lawn, which is made en-
princesse and as carefully fitted as the
frock itself. The handsomest petit
coats have very deep flounces reach
ing quite above the knee, and 1t Is
best to make such petticoats at home
for the ready-made models are sadly
skimped in the depth and width or
fiounce unless very expensive petit
coat is selected Hand embroidered
founces are exquisitely beautiful. and
these are in the favorite scollop and
dotted patterns with a frill of lace run
under the big scallops at the foot. EN-
broidery is used in preference to lace
for the petticoats to be worn with the
street frocks, and, indeed, lace should
only be used on the handsome petticoat,
which gets occasional wear as week.
ly visit to the laundry soon plays havoc
with lace trimmed f1ounces.

HAVE FISHES MEMORY?

Studies as to the mental powers of
animals have already been made on
several occasions, but only recently
have inquiries been made as to wheth-
er fishes have a memory or not. Re-
suits have shown traces of memory
both in coral zoophytes and other den
liens of the deep. Experiments have
been made with several fishes, but the
most striking results have been OBJ
tanned with the gray perch, which lives
chiefly on a small silvery hued sar-
dine. Some of these were taken and
colored red and were then put into
the tank where the perch was with
several other silver colored SardlneS.
OF course the normal ones were at
once attacked and eaten, but it was
not till hungry that the perch made
a tentative meal of oe of the red
colored victims; on recognizing the
sardine flavor, however, he promptly
demolished the remainder. Subsequent
ly the specimens in the tank deVoured
the sardines, irrespective of color, thus
showing not only traces of a memory,
but also the power to dlferentlate
color. Subsequently sardineS colored
red and blue were placed in the tank
together with the silver ones; the same
scene was repeated, the blue ones not
being attacked till the others were
eaten and hunger compelled inVest1ga-
ton of the newcomers After this in
production the perch ate the sardines
of all three types without any dim
Guilty. Some spines of the sea nettle
(actniia) were then fastened to the blue
sardines; these were at once avoided by
the perch, who promptly got out of
the way of the newcomers This
showed traces of memory, as the re-
suits of contact with the sea nettle
were clearly shown and recognized

A SHORT POLITICAL PLATFORM

One of the shortest political plat
forms ever written is that of Mr.. Solo
mon p. Rodes. Solomon, according to
ex-Vice President Adiai e. Stevenson's
Something of Men I Have Known"
was wont to say that he would rather
"go to the Missouri legislator than to
be one of the czars of Rooshy." A con-
vention which purposed to nominate
him for this Office was once held at
the schoolhouse. The committee to
draw UP the resolutions adjourned for
consultation to a log back of the build
ing.
When the committee finally returned
these resolutions, two in number, were
presented to the assembly, and adopted
unanimously and with great enthu-
siasm:
1-Resolv that in the declaration of
independence and likewise in the con-
stitution of the united states, re rec
ognize a able and we'll ritten document,
and that we are tetotually oppose to
the repeal of airy one of the aforesaid
instruments of riting. Resolv:
2-that in our fellow-townsmen, Solo
mon P. Rodes, we view an onest man
and hereby annominate him for the
legislator.

POTATO POSSIBILITIES

Among all the broadsides against the high
cost OF living we have failed to hear one
round of ammunition fired in honor of the po-
tato. says the Chicago Post. Yet such a salute
Is due.
OF all the items on the menu the potato
alone has fallen in price. Instead of following
the other vegetables in emulation of beefs
aerial record, it is seeking purchasers at rs
per cent below the price it brought a year ago.
Upon which suggest that the versatility
Of the worthy tuber is deserving Of broader
fame Entirely aside from the stimulating
possibilities of potato alcohol, what gourmet
among the anti-meat enthusiasts could fail to
grow enthusiastic over the possibilities Of such
a banquet as we here append?
A creamy puree of potato, followed by an
entree of potato salad; for the piece de re-
sistance escallop OF potato, with accom-
panments of fried and mashed potatoes, while
for desert ice cream dealers have demon
strated that appetizing and deceptive near
ice cream can be made from mashed potatoes
thinned to the proper consistency by skinned
milk.
AS champion in the warfare against high
prices let the potato take its proper place.
Only the people dieting to reduce their flesh
can object, and they may make both their
diet and their boycott more effective by re-
framing from eating altogether.

NEIeHRoRs

Neighbors are a nuisance, and neigh
bors are a blessing. Neighbors are at
the same time an annoyance and
comfort And neighbors come in varie-
ties as infinite as human nature itself,
which makes back door etiquette in
clude many and various rules OF con-
duct in order to cover the subject, and
then confess itself inadequate to deal
with special cases.
Neighbors in general are to be con-
sidered as desirable. If any woman
doubts it, let her live for time where
there are no neighbors at all, and she
will be convinced that even If she does
not know her neighbors and does not
care to know them, even If they are
rather undesirable personally, there is
something in having human beings
within reaching distance. Therefore
be thankful for neighbors-that is a
good sentiment to begin with.

in the cold water five minutes, then add
the hot water, sugar and cherry and
stir until we'll mixed. Set on ice until
it begins to thicken; then beat in the
stiffly beaten egg whites. Beat until
white, then fold in the cream, which
