FISH AND FISHING. The Kennebec journal
saws: Talking about the puny brook trout
now brought in from the brooks by our local
fishermen, reminds one of the mammoth fish
captured some 50 years ago in what was then
Bishops Pond in Mt. V ernon, on a pole set
and hook bated by Mr.. j. H. Morse of this
city. The fish was 81 inches IN length, of he
brook trout species; cir tn, just back of the gill;
"A inches: weight, "a pounds. The line was
good hemp one The hook common hook
such used TO fish with in those days.
The bait was "a small club. The line was fast
ened to fish pole 16 or Is feet long, and was
set at night at the end of plank walk some
twenty feet in length. The line was set at
night and early the next morning the monster
trout was found by boy thirteen years old.
! The fish had been on the hook long enough to
become partially drowned, and was easily pull
ed out of the water by the gil,s by gentleman
who was passing by" The Maine Central
has issued a neat little pamphlet giving des-
cription of the Rangely Lake route, which will
be of interest to fishermen 1911 Last week two
Augusta men captured 90 trout, east of the
city......The southern mackerel fleet numbers
1876 sail; 80 from Gloucester, % f ON Portland,
Ii from Boston, from BoOthbay and 60 from
eighteen other fishing ports. Some of the num-
Der have done nothing at all and only three or
four at the most have paid their way although
the catch has been unusually large. Outside OF
| one or two vessels arriving early upon the bare
market, the outlay this season must greatly eX-
coed the stocks....Mr. j. B. Marble, proprietor
of the Forest House, Pennington, and the
Rangeley Lake House, Rangeley, will in few
days, have his house at the lake ready for fish
ermen.."..Spring shad are to be had at Bath at
20 cents each. They are caught now in small
quantities in drift nets in this river all the way
from Phipsburg to Richmond. Five inch mesh
nets are used A salmon or two has been
caught.

Correct Time.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL. In your last
mark shown by line of tacks in the floor, and
That he thinks II as correct Cambridge time. If
we have such Rip Van Wrinkle among us pray
name him, not to involve all of us in so un-
true ami ridiculous a statement.
In years gone by whom the quickest conveyance
to distant cities by slow stage coaches and
numbering coasters and editors obtained their news
ia the same way, and a man sweating at a crank
turned OF the printers sheets, watchmakers and
jewellers did resort to many rude means by which
we could approximate to the time and the sun
mark was one way by which, with a little figuring,
we could get within a minute. But what will our
brother jewelers. through the State and Intelligent
sea captains think of the Belfast jeweer who still
looks to the crack In the floor as his most perfect
guide?
At tho United States Observatory in Cambridge
thousands Of dollars have been expended in transit
instruments, and wonderful clocks, by which means
they obtain the perfect time.
Give call some morning, Mr. Reporter ana |
will he pleased to show YOU how by delicate nstru-
ments have been for years connected With the OBJ
seryatory, and how get the true time, Il fraction
Of a second, and by which steady my regulators

High License works no better in Boston thai

High License works no better in Boston than
laws regulating the liquor traffic gives occasion
for the attempt to transfer the control of the
police from the city to the State. The local
authorities, it is claimed are influenced by the
dealers to such an extent that there is practical
ly no interference from the police and no
difficulty in evading the law. The bill has
passed the House by a small majority, but it Is
not yet out of danger The argument against
the measure, that it deprives the city of local
self-government is weighty; but the abuses
which it aims to correct outweigh any objection.

Husbands Are Delicious When Prop.
eriy Done.

Miss Corson said at the Baltimore cook
ing school that Il Baltimore lady had
written recipe for Cooking husbands
so rs to make them tender and good"
1t is as follows: ga good many husbands
are spoiled by mismanagement. Some
women 20 about it as ii their husbands
were bladders and blow them up. Others
keep them constantly in hot water; others
let them freeze by their carelessness and
Indifference. Some keep them in stew
by irritating ways and words. Others
roast them. Some keep them i'm pickle
all their lives. 1t cannot be supposed
that any husband will be tender and good,
managed in this way, but they are really
delicious when properly treated. In Sc
lecting your husband you should not be
guided by the slvery appearance, as in
buying mackerel, nor by the golden tint,
as if you wanted salmon. Be sure TO Sc
lect him yourself, as tastes differ. Do
not 90 to market for him, as the best are
always brought to your door. 1t is far
better to have none unless you will pa
tiently learn how to cook him. A pre-
serving kettle OF the finest porcelain is
best, but you have nothing but an earth
enware pipkin, it will do, with care. See
that the linen in which you wrap him is
nicely washed and mended, with the re-
quired number OF buttons and strings
nicely sewed on. Tie him in the kettle
by a strong silk cord called comfort, as
the one called duty is apt to be weak.
They are apt to fly out OF the kettle and
be burned and crusty on the edges, since,
like crabs and Holsters, you have to cook
them while alive. Make clear steady fire
out Of love, neatness and cheerfuness. Set
him as near this as seems to agree with
him. Ii he sputters and fixes, do not be
anxious; some husbands do this until
they are quite done. Add little sugar
in the form of what confectoners call
kisses, but no vinegar or pepper on any
account. A little spice improves them,
but it must be used with judgment. DO
not stick any sharp instrument into him
TO see il he is becoming tender. Stir him
gently; watch, the while, lest he lie too
flat and close to the kettle, and so become
useless. You cannot fail to know when
he is done. If thus treated you will find
him very digestible, agreeing nicely with
you and the children, and he will keep
rs long rs you want, unless you become
careless and put him in too cold a place. !"

The Montana Central Railroad.

A scheme is on foot in Montana to run
a railroad from Butte to Bozeman.
The incorporators of the company,
which is to be known as the Montana
Central, met the other day in Bozeman
for the purpose of considering the prac-
ticability of inaugurating some plan
whereby survey could be made, the
right OF way secured, and the means
raised for securing at least portion OF
the proposed line. 1t was decided to
memorabilia the Board of County Com
missioners to order an election in the
county submitting the proposition to the
qualified electors authorizing the county
commissioners to subscribe $250,000 OF
the stock in the Montana Central, Sc
cured by first mortgage bonds, and pay
ing therefor county bonds, dollar for
dollar, both bonds to bear six per cent.
interest per annum payable semi-annual
interest and principal to be paid in New
York City.
If this proposed Montana Central does
not turn out like many another incorpor,
porated railroad scheme has turned out
in talk only-the road will be of grea
advantage to both Bozeman and Butte
besides opening up a country that is now
OF no practical value. 1t will have t
cross the crest Of the Rocky Mountains
but will find more favorable route thar
the precipitous one of the Northern Pa
