I Acts of auetr prohlbitiona containing from ten to forty Items each are found in all the newer constitutions except that of New Hampshire One of the strong argument a urged In the campaign against the rejected Rhode Island constitution was that It contained no restraints on legislative action.

\ for persons, corporations and the local subdivisions of the Stste. They atm to prevent discriminations in respect to descent, property fights, civil and political rights, taxation, the administration 1 of justice and the responsibilities and emoluments of public officials. They reg- | ularty end with a statement that In all ■ other cases where a general law can be i made applicable no special law shall be

j enacted.

1 Other prohibitions on legislation are of f a more general nature, such as the pro- . hi bit Ion of pensions except for military ; or naval service, of land grants to cor1 porations, of exemption from taxation, of cancellation of Indebtedness and of licenses to obstruct navigable waters. Delaware prohibits divorce except by i judgment of court and la the last State to pass such a prohibition South Caro- | Hn» prohibits divorces entirely and 1* I the only State which has such a pro1 vision. Long lists of similar prohibitions and restrictions might be given did space allow. Read the article on the Leglalature In any one of the newer constitutions, especially those of the West or South. Those of Louisiana, Kentucky. Wyoming or Montana best illustrate. The law-making bodies of our States are commonly called legislatures, but that In most cases is not the legal name. In twenty-three States the lawmaking boay is known as the General Assembly; In seventeen as the Legislature; In three as the Legislative Assembly, and in two as the General Court. The seven constitutions revised since I8s9 retain the old names. In the seven new States, Utah. Washington, Bouth Dakota, Wyoming, Idaho, prefer the name Legislature, while North Dakota and Montana call theirs the Legislative Assembly. All the States name the small, or upper house the Senate, and thlrty-slx call the larger, or lower, house the House of Representatives. All the new or revised constitutions use this name except New York, which calls Ha lower house the Assembly. In the revolutionary period three States—Georgia, Pennsylvania. Vermont—had but one legislative house. All States now have the bicameral sys-

tem

Member* of Legislatures. Curious differences touching the numbers of the two houses are found In the fourteen constitutions of the last ten years. Delaware and the seven Western States average twenty-four members in the Senate and fifty-two In ihe House. The extremes are Delaware, seventeen and thlrty-flve, and South Dakota, fortyone and eighty-three. The four Southern States. Louisiana, Mississippi, Kentucky, South Ctu-ollna, average forty in the Senate and one hundred and eighteen In the House. The extreme* axe Mlsslselpppl, forty-live and one hundred and thirteen; Kentucky, thirty-eight and one hundred. The Houses provided for In the rejected Rhode Island constitution of U& were the same In number as Kentucky. New York has ntty in the Senate and one hundred and fifty In the House. The climax is reached In New Hampshire, which, according to population, should be classed along with the seven Western States and Delaware. Her Senate contains twentytYour and her House three hundred and sixty-three, a body larger than the national House of Representatives (367). This enormous number is due to the excedlngly low ratio adopted, 1,200. Once adopted it Is hard to change this ratio, owing to the opposition of those towns that would lose their Individual representation; Omitting this anomaly we note that ihe lower House Is never leas than twice the stxe of the Senate, and very seldom larger than three time* the sl*e, with a slight tendency to have the Senate lytlf rather than one-third the else of the House. In the early period only South Carolina had a two-year term of office for members of the lower House. At present only four Stales, Massachusetts. New York. Rhode Island, New Jersey, elect the lower House annually. Two. Mississippi and Louisiana, elect for four years, all other States for two years. Last century five States elected their Senates annually, at present only Massachusetts ana Rhode Island do s<i. New Jersey ekets for three years. Thirteen States elect for two years, twenty-nine for tour years. Eight of the four ten new constitutions provide for terms of tour and two years respectively; two, (Mississippi and Louisiana, for terms of four and four years; New York, two And one years; New Hampshire, South Dakota and Idaho, two and two years. States that have terms of four and two years respec tively generally elect one-half the Senate every

ting the two States which have annual sessions, and Louisianan. nine of the eleven States remaining have their November elections In even years, at the same time as the national election*. Kentucky and Miaaiasipp! wisely chooss

! the odd years.

Legislative Apportionment.

It was once customary, when a new constitution was adopted or an old one revised, to name the districts and the number of Representatives from each, leaving the more exact apportionment to the Legislature. The national constitution Illustrates this. Legislatures, however. became too fond of gerrymanders. Hence, present constitutions out 14^ the boundaries of all districts in great detail and provide that these shall not be al-

The

that opportunity to be to spread the love j of man. righteousness and liberty over 1 the world. The conflict between Christianity anA heathenism has been fought and won. The war in the future is to be between the different forms of Christianity—Latin. Slavonic and Saxon. We have but little to hope or fear from the Latin- The issue Is to be fought out between the Slav and Saxon. Or.lv a little way In the future must be heard the noise of -he conflict between these two. It may be a battle of Ideas, and It may be a battle of bayonets and buffets. It Is sure to come Tbe Slav Is expanding ar. 1 mov ing against us. Tbe American Puritan is face to face with him on the east and the English Puritan is face to face with him or. the south and west The qu«s- f tion of the meeting of these two Is the most Interesting question In the world. The final struggle can not long be delayed." HELPS FOR THE HOUSEWIFE

New York constitution, which devotes about one-tenth of Its space to Its districts and their allotments, is an excellent Illustration of this. The same constitution contain* a unique provision t to the effect that any apportionment by the Legislature or any other body shall be subject to review by the Supreme Court at the suit of any citlxen. The court must give precedence to such case, and If not In session, shall convene promptly therefor. In the revolutionary period the upper House was in the main Intended to repre- j sent property, the lower House popula- i tlon. As a variant the upper House i sometimes represented a locality, lire- j spectlve of property or population. The ; tendency now Is for both Houses to repre- | sent population, the Senatorial and Representative districts merely differing in size. The county Is the usual basts for | the Senatorial district. The New Hamp- i shire Senate has twenty-four members from districts approximately equal in ! taxable property. Under the rejected j Rhode Island constitution the Senate would have consisted of thirty-eight | members—one from each town or city. Under this constitution, as under the present one. the city of Providence, with a population of 190.000, and the town of West Greenwich, with a population of 721, would have had equal Senatorial represenatlon. A similar though less extreme provision Is found in South Carolina and Montana, each having a Senate composed of one member per county, regardless of wealth or population. The other eleven new or revised constitutions provide that the Senatorial districts shall be apportioned on the basis of population as nearly as may be, having In regard county and township lines. New York modifies the proportion which would properly fall to New York city and Brooklyn by providing that no county shall have more than one-third of all the Senators and no two adjoining counties more than one-half. Representation In lower houses Is practlcally without modification and Is based on population. Many States, however, like New York, provide that every county must have at least one member In the House. New Hampshire and Rhode Island similarly provide for each town. In the rejected Rhode Island constitution no city might have more than onefourth of the entire number of Representatives. Providence contains twofifths the population of the State, and ynder the present constitution has oncslxth Of the entire number of Representatives.

COD’S SOUNDS. By Parker Quincy Adams. [Copyright. IS». by Walter B. Guild. J A dish out of the ordinary but very highly esteemed by many lovers of tbe good things of the table. You can procure the fresh sounds at any first-class fish market, and they are worthy a trial. Cod'* founds with Egg Sauce. Before boiling the sounds. It la necessary. if Jou m Olid have them at their best, to abwJc them for five or six hours In milk and water. Then take them out and wash them and place them In a stewpan with more fresh milk and water, and boll gently until done—about one hour will generally suffice. When cooked, if large, cut them into inch pieces and put them Into a stewpan with a sufficient quantity of egg sauce; toss them together over the fire for a moment, pile them on a platter in pyramid form and garnish with boiled vegetables. Egg Sauce. An excellent egg sauce for the above is made by boiling some eggs hard and when cold removing the shells. Cut the eggs Into small dice and put them into some melted butter, with pepper and salt. Stir gently on the fire till the sauce Is hot. Fried Cod’s Sounds. Prepare the sounds as directed above, and cut them into pieces. Place thpm for an hour in a preparation of oil, vinegar, onions and parsley, drain and fry in butter and serve with Ravlgottc sauce. The recipe for thlF sauce waa given a short time ago In this column. Cod's sounds may be also served and dressed a la Foulette, a la Bechamel, a la Maitr® d'Hotel, fried as above, but of course, substituting any of the above sauces for the Ravigotte. In this matter as in many others, the names of the sauces govern the title of the dish, but by using the different sauces we obtain a pleasing variety that would not be otherwise secured. It is therefore of first consequence to preserve In your scrap book the recipes for the sauces. You can not feel that you are a good cook until you have mastered their preparation and know how to apply them.

The Xaroly Brothers, of Chicago, Agreeably Surprised. New York. December 19.—The World says; Hugo Hunfalvy, a lawyer of this city, says there is no possible question that two electricians In Chicago, E. P. and C. S. Karoly, are heirs to an estate in Hungary worth 9,000.000 florins, or about $4,320,000. They never would have known anything about It had not Count Alois Karoly. ambassador of AustriaHungary to the court of fit. James, left Europe with Bortska Frank, a young actress, and come to America. It was through' an effort to prove that Count Karoly, who died In London, leaving a large fortune, wap a relation, that the Karoly brothers discovered the fortune awaiting them. They are not in ahyway connected with Count Karoly's father. The trouble came about by the father of the present heirs cutting himself off from all communication with his family in Hungary and dropping his family name. He was a scion of a noble family in Hungary. who served with Louis Kossuth in the revolution of 1S48, and escaped to this country. He called himself S. Karoly when he settled first In Albany, and began the practice of medicine. In which profession he had already gained distinction In Hungary. Dr. Karoly married in Salem, practiced In Baltimore, where his sons were born, and removed to Aurora, 111., where he died In 1SS4. Shortly after his death, his only sister, who had Inherited the estate, died In her home In Godollo. the favorite residence of the Empress Elizabeth, who was assassinated. The administrator of the 9,009,000 florins advertised far and wide for the heirs, but the Karoly boys never connected themselves with the estate.
