TERRELL WILL NOT OFFER
NEW LIQUOR BILL

A few weeks ago Senator Terrell
soon TO be sworn into the Office Of
Comptroller at Austin. stated that
he intended to Introduce a bill to re-
lnstate the Allison liquor law. lie
proposed to do that before Gov. Col
quit went out OF office so az to in
sure executive favor
Since then he has changed his
mind and will not Introduce the
measure. He says he wrote to prohl-
bition representative for their prom
ises to support him in the matter,
but they have not given him sufficl-
ent assurance to Justify him in un-
dertaking IT,
lie seems surprised at their I'M
difference in the matter and inti-
mates that If pros want TO leave the
way open for shipment Of liquor into
dry territory, he cannot help &c. Con-
soryativc pros have probably read

have liquor shipped TO him for per

for several days is some form OF fruit
jelly. Lemon jelly is especially nice
in combination with other things. If
one has a dish of jelly in the ice
chest, arrange small spoonfuls of 1t
in alternate layers of fruit in sher-
bet cup. This is one that was tried
the other day and was highly praised.
A little lemon jelly, a preserved peach
cut in quarters, spoonful of orange
marmalade and a tablespoonful of
pineapple preserve with little of the
juice. This was topped with cream
garnished with halves of strawberries
and served with simple little lemon
cookies and made dessert most graft
flying to all who partook of It, This
pint of orange jelly in combination
with other fruits like banana, orange
and a few strawberries made dessert
for another day, in fact 1t made all to-
gether eight servings in sherbet cups.
Rhubarb DeIIght.-Rinse, wipe and
remove the peel from tender stalks
of rhubarb Cut the stalks into an
earthen dish. scattering sugar over
each layer. Add two tablespoonful OF
water; cover and set in the oven.
Raisins, dates and figs may be added
to the rhubarb If desired. Cook until
tender and pink
Vegetable Salad.-Take two cupfuls
of chopped cabbage. pour over 1t the
hot fat from a slice of salt pork, cut
in dice and fried brown. Add the bits
of pork and minced onion, stir and
mix well, then heat hot enough vim
egar to just moisten the cabbage and
flavor 1t.
To Can Rhubarb.-Wash the rhu-
barb and cut In inch lengths without
peeling. Pack in sterilized jars, then
fill with cold water and be sure that
there are no spaces which the water
does not fill Now plunge the jars
in pan of water and screw the tops
on under water.

PROPER CARE OF THE LAWN
II Home Is to Have Proper
Appearance.

One of the most important duties
on the home place during the summer
is the care of the lawn. There is
nothing about a place that makes so
much for general attractiveness as a
well cared for lawn.
Many people make the mistake OF
keeping the lawn cut too close. In
to hot sun and drying winds during
the summer. Cut the lawn frequently,
but do not set the machine too close.
To keep the lawn looking clean at all
times have a grass-catcher attachment
on the mower. A careful watch for
weeds on the lawn should be kept.
Cut them out well below the surface
with an old knife as soon as they are
large enough to be seen.
A roller on the lawn is advisable,
but it should be used with care.
Lawns that have been rolled for long
time are likely to become over-rolled;
there is surface cohesion or close
packing of the top soil, which prevents
the admission of air and healthy root
development. The remedy is the use
of the spiked tamper A homemade
one may be made by taking piece OF
two-inch plank, some 12x12-inch tim
Der and inserting four-inch spikes an
inch and half or two inches apart.
Bore holes little smaller than the
spikes before driving them in, to pre-.
vent splitting the wood. Perforate
the whole surface thoroughly with
this, give top dressing, lightly rake
1t in and water the whole thoroughly
late In the afternoon

HAVE TOP SASH SCREENED
10 Always AdvisabIe-Advice for
Prospective Builder.

Don't forget that you may az some
time want to open the top sash o; the
window, and that flies and mosquitoes
are not particular as to through which
sash they enter; therefore have the
screen run from top to bottom of the
window; to do this, side springs will
be necessary in the screen frames, but
they will cost little more than a screen
which can be used only from the bot
tom sash and which is little better
than no screen at all.
Don't forget that there will never be
a better time to build than the pres
ent; materials of all kinds are cheap
er than they have been for several
years. and as soon as the European
war is over there is sure to be a sharp
advance in prices.
Don't say you can't build now be-
cause you have not enough money; If
you have little, the cooperative
banks and building associations will
loan you the balance needed upon
terms under which you can pay for the
house In monthly installments which
would be no more than you would or
dinarily be paying for rent.-Ex
change.

STEAMBOAT. The marble columns, which
stand right and left OF the main por-
tai, are said to have been taken from
the temple in Jerusalem. The ia.
nous group of four horses, which
stands above the main portal, Is OF
the antique Roman period, and was
for long time in Byzantium, the cap
ital of the Empire Of the West The
Doge Dandolo, at the age Of ninety-fve,
led ON the Venetians to the storming
of Constantinople 1203). He was
nearly blind, but fiery life still
glowed in his veins.
What st. Marks Is as the express
sion of the religious spirit. that the
ducal palace is for the secular power
of Venice; it has scarcely a rival,
even in Italy. The doges palace, as
it now stands before us, was begun in
the fourteenth century and completed
in the fifteenth after a long Interrupt
ton. Here every line is classic. The
very position of the palace, its rela-
ton to the Church of ST. Mark, its two
fronts-one commanding the piaz-
eta and the other the sea-declare
the inner significance of the building;
it is the foundation, the very corner
stone of all Venetian splendors
spIendors Not Unmarried.
But yet a little shadow rests on
these splendors. A slight shudder
mars the enchantment, for the hands
of Venice are stained with blood
much noble blood sacrificed to un-
worthy passions. There is the Bocca
di Leone, into which envy threw its
secret accusations. Here sat the coun-
Gil of ten, Consiglio de- Dieci. That
was a word of terror to all citizens OF
Venice. In this tribunal she had a.
power which could only be compared
with that of Robespierre or the blood
thirsty Marat.
The complete truth about Venice
cannot be learned in the lofty ducai
palace, where the ceilings are full OF
gold and where art, free and untram-
meied, created her masterpieces. We
must go down even as far as the Poz-
ri, into the dungeons below the level
of the water, or we must mount into
the hot leaden cells q piombD ..
then we begin to conceive what was.
the secret canker gnawing at the root
of all this beauty; then we feel with

an hour Then drop the pears, few
at time, in the strip and cook about
fifteen minutes. Take out and arrange
in sterilized jars and so continue until
all are used, then boil the strip until
thick and pour over the fruit. Seal

Spiced Apple Jeliy.-Take peck of
tart apples, one cupful of whole mixed
spices, sugar, vinegar and water, not
quite cover. Put the spices in a bag,
cook the apples with the spices, vim,
egar and water in equal parts until
the apples are soft. Strain through
jelly bag, allowing the juice to drip;
do not squeeze the bag or the juice
will not be clear. Boil the juice TWEEN
ty minutes, or until it jellies, with an
equal quantity of sugar. Pour into
glasses and seal
Rhubarb and Fig Preserve.-Take
three pounds of rhubarb, two and a
half pounds of sugar, one pound OF
figs and two ounces of candied peel;
wipe the rhubarb, cut into inch lengths

figs and peel and scatter over the
rhubarb; on this cover the sugar ard

preserve slo~ly for an hour, the last
half add a small piece Of ginger root.
Pour into jars and seal.
The following is delectable con-
serve never to be forgotten by those
who have tasted it:
Fruit Conserve.-Take pound of
raisins, two pounds of tart cherries,
three oranges, juice and rind, four
pounds of sugar. Chop the fruit, add
the sugar and boil twenty minutes.
Seal in small air-tight jars while hot.
The green Duchess apple makes a
delicious appetizer to serve with meats
by splicing them just as one does any
fruit, only leave the peeling on the
green apples as it adds much to the
flavor.

The City Beautiful.

A one-time mayor of New York,
George B. Mcclellan, said: "In a
self-governing community. the ul-
innate object of the government is the
happiness of the governed. Something
more is needed to make the happy
city than health and. Tealth and wis
dom. The city healthy, the city
wealthy, and the city wise, may excite
satisfaction, complaisance and pride,
but it is the city beautiful that COM
pels and retains the love of people"

struck only upon tiny spot directly
beneath, while the rest of the cavern
was plunged in deep darkness,
through which shadowy forms seemed
to stink.
From the main cell, which is prac.
tically four long vaults connected by
archways, some Of the lesser cells were
entered, and then the dungeons. There
is small cell reached by ladder,
neither high enough for a small man
to stand erect in nor stretch out full
length. 1t was vacant at the time, but
there was a crust of bread in the cor.
ner.
The dungeons are long, low cells,
with barred gate at one end and blank
wall at the other Through the gloom,
straining eyes could dimly make out
drawings and writings ON the walls.
Here and there roughly drawn cross

Dungeons Under Sea.
The old trusty, careful to explain
that he had been there but nine days,
asked other prisoners about the en-.
trance to the subterranean passages to
dungeons under tie sea--then pointed
it out.
More rusty keys we're called into
trial, and, finally, grim passageway
was unbarred and we looked in. The
darkness was SO dense that the faint
light of a modern oil lantern seemed
unable to penetrate, and a Shiny, slop-
ing footway led onward and disap.
peared into blacknesg. The stencil
was there, too, more horrible than
above. and the dampness and the mus.
tiness.
A step within, close to the dripping
wall, and a metallic .jangle sounded;
the lantern flashed to the left showed
dangling chain, handcuff on end,
which had been brushed against. No
one seemed to know where the pas.
sageway led, the mud was deepening,
the light dim and the place ghostly. A
further advance, with growing chills
running adown the spine, revealed
cells, cells-chains, chains-and a
freshly mortared block of stone at the
end of the wall. And here exploration
necessarily ended
