Honey Icing.

Icing made with honey, or part
honey. will keep soft Indefinitely.
Take one cup of granulated sugar,
one-fourth cup of water, one-fourt h
cup of honey, and one egg-white. Boil
together the sugar and the water for
few minutes. and then add the
honey. taking precautions to prevent
the mixture from boiling over, as it
is likely to do. Cook until drops of
the sirup keep their form when
poured into cold water. Beat the
white of the egg until stiff, ard when
the strip has cooled slightly. pour
over the egg, beating the mixture
until it will hold its shape.
This frostinG is suitable for use be-
tween layers of cake, but is rather
too soft for the top.

are most delici GUS to eat.

Fifty thousand pure-bred Maoris still

Rice had had enough.
"Cushman," the senator said, "why

home and run for office? Your male
relatives have been governors, sena-

you should not serve your state"
Rice did not seem greatly impressed
so Nelson became somewhat warmer
in his remarks.
'If you're bound to fight, why not
get over into Russia, among the reds,
and get some real action" Nelson
said, sarcastically.
Whereupon Rice leaped into the air.

GLORY DESTROYED BY TIME
Of the Once Mighty Cities OF Babylon
and kineveh Hardly Yes
tige Remains.

When the ancient kingdom of the
Assyrians fell through effeminacy and
negligence 300 years after the Trojan
war, many petty states arose out of
IFS ruins, two of which raised them
selves to a high degree of power. The
kings Of Media subdued the mountain
land of Persia, and established rela-
tons of amity with hordes that
wandered on the eastern side of the
Caspian sea; they conquered also a
portion of the empire which had CEN
tered in Nineyeh. At the same time
the king of Babel, or Babylon, flour
lshed with still greater magnificence
and power.
In Babylon, ancient seat of learning
and science, Nabopolassar after a
long period of anarchy and division,
erected a most powerful monarchy,
whose sceptre NebuchadneZZar, his
son, extended from the Caucasus
mountains, where he defeated the
lberians, to the sandy deserts of Lydia.
He burnt Jerusalem; defeated Ammon,
Moab and Edom; conquered Tyre, the
richest city of the Phoenicians; laid
waste Egypt, and formed his empire
Oh new boundaries. He adorned Baby
Ion, the city of his residence, with the
noblest works of architecture, but of
this city the ruins are scarcely dis
cernible. 1t is still more difficult to
trace the vestiges of Nineyeh,s which
lie three days journey from 1t, and
whose ruins have sunk in the marshy
soil

MAY RECOVER WORKS OF ART
Feasibility That Waters OF the Rhone
win Give Up Sarccphapi Long
In Their Keeping.

An ancient story OF the greed OF
kings has been resurrected by an
erudite member of the Institute de
E'rnnce Mr. Adrien Blanchet. Inc
fact IS there is some prospective work
On hand for the utilization of the
Rbone water power. Thus do ancient
history and modern enterprise come
to hobnob in the revue des etudes
ancfennes. The story tells how the
king of France, Charles TX, coming
one day to Aries, saw the Roman sar-
cophagi and wished them his. He did
not eovet long, for the next act In THIS
kingly episode was the shipping OF
the most perfect of Rome's monuments
en- route for the capital city. This may
have furnished later king OF France,
namely, Louis XIV, with the precedent
for the removal of the statue OF Mes
salina from Bordeaux; not that that
monarch ever needed either precedent
or encouragement for his actions. The
sareophag started on their journey. 1t
was in the year 1868. They had unfor-
tunately not gone beyond the famous
Pont- Saint Esprit, before the boats
sank beneath so unusual and weighty
load. Now, the congress for the de-
yelopment of water power. which sat
In February this year, discussed among
other schemes the transformation of
the nt-Saint-Esprit. The question Is
and it will be admitted to be an ABB
sorbing one-during the excavations In
the bed of the Rhone will those sarcO-
phagi, lost nearly four centuies ago, be
recovered?

court had escaped from the Mad
ison county jail. He said that the
grand jury ought to investigate
this and see who is responsible
for prisoners escaping, if anyone
is. He said the county had a
few years ago spent several
thousand dollars fixing up the
jail yet it seems that prisoners
escape from it whenever they de-
sire to leave. He said he wanted
the investigation made so that he
might determine whether the
court @ght to transfer prisoners
convicted here to some other
county for safekeeping if they
cannot be kept in jail safely here.
Judge Shackelford covered
many other subjects in his charge
particularly gambling in pool
rooms, carrying of concealed wea
pons. He also touched upon the
compulsory education law and
urged the grand jury to see that
it is being enforced.
