THE NEWS OF THE MARKETS.
Some Points About What to Eat and
Where to Get 1t.

Where to Get 1t.
New YORK, April l4-Few of the lower
orders of creation equal the brook trout.
He minister's to the curiosity of the natur-
alist, to the interest of every lover of
beauty, to the triumphant joy of the
angler, and last, but by no means least, to
the supreme delight of the epicure. He is
in tine market again, having lost for time
the protection of the game laws, and will
| cost the housewife only 6JC. a pound, II she
buys the very best Of him on the fish stall.
If her lord and master goes atield to catch
| the trout, there Is no good way of estmat-
| ing the cost. Whatever it may be- the trout
| is well worth it.
Few people know and fewer remember
| one great service which Daniel Webster
! performed for mankind, in the ten days
| during which ne was IA member OF the Mas
sachusetts Legislature. In one of his
| speeches he said, speaking Of that time; II
| turned my thoughts to the search of some
! good object in which | could be useful IN
the position, and after much reflection
! introduced bill which, with the general
/ consent Of both Houses of the Massachu
setts Legislature, passed into law and is
now a law # the State, which enacts that
| no man in the State shall catch trout in any
| other manner than with the ordinary hook
and linen
How many men have done as much for
mankind in a whole life time as he did by
| this one actf
1t seems little hard that with all the
toothsome danties the spring is fetching III
her ouistretched hands, the old familiar
wall should go up in a chorus from thou
sands upon thousands of households all over
the country, What shall we have for din
nerI
For it is certainly true that one half and
probably much more of the substantial
comfort OF this world depends on rational,
well-considtred eating. Let me have men
about me,n says Caesar, that are fat, sleek
headed men, and such as sleep onlgDtN,"
| and no generalization Of the human race
| is recognized as being wiser than this.
See to it, them that such good things as
come within your reach and means contri-
butte to the excellence of that life which you
cannot live but once.
There is great store of good things to be
had just now. A red snapper is a tooth
some bit, and will sell for 15c. or lSc.
pound. Blue fish are just coming, and are
choice and cheap at zoe. Sea bass will cost
little less and the best fresh water bass
may be had for BIC.
Take heart of grace. then. Is not here
already q grateful change from ''the I'M
ceaSing round" of steaks and chops and
eggs! But there are many things else than
| fish, as well as many other fish.
4 notable little housewife whom | know
aud who never asks what she shall have for
dinner, once told me her plan. She said:
SOMEBODY has to think it all out | can't
trust my servant. l won't bother my hus-
band | won't take the time to study it
over every day. So make out list every
two weeks fourteen breakfasts and dinners
ahead. | try tol avoid too frequent recep-
tions. and it isn't very hard to do that. don't
make out a regular bill of fare, but just put
down one or two of the principal dishes and
the dessert.
Then at the end of the two weeks be-
gin over again. Idon't make just the same
list over again and | don't stick to my pro-
gramme too closely. | do my own buying
SO | know pretty well what is new in the
| markets, and if | want to change the dinner
do it, And after the first list is made out
it is easy enough to write out the next one.
by doing my own buying serve three
purposes; | keep posted on the markets, |
| get exercise, and | save money. | never
| run grocer's or a butchers bill If Ihave
| not enough money to buy what | want go
without. | find it worries my husband less
TO have something missing from his dinner,
than it does to have bills to pay, for we
are poor you know"
But to resume Fish isn't the only thing
to be had He who neglects to eat chickens
| in the spring ought to move TO Southern
for the rest of his life. Feeding is all he is
fit for He hasn't learned to eat. They
come at different prices, the best, of course,
being the most expensive. 1t isn't exactly
"of course" by the way, but that is the rule
that unhappily obtains with regards TO most
kinds of food
1t is most excellent thing for almost
everybody to do to eat an apple in be-
ginning breakfast, but just now oranges
are cheaper, and to many persons are more
palatabe They are, of course, the two
staples, but some kind of ripe fruit is
prime necessity of good living, and the
morning is the best time to eat it. The old
proverb is true at that end, though it is alb
surdly false in declaring fruit to be bad at
any hour.
Do not grid at me- gentle reader, for tax
| ing your time, and my own work and time,
| in telling YOU to live well. Do not wrap
yourself in the mantle of assumed superior
| ity, and, while atfe ting to deSpise carnal
Things, assume that spiritual welfare is bet
| ter to be attained by neglect of heshly COM
| forts 1t is not so.
And do not imagine that these letters
preach gluttony or gormandizing. What,
| says Hayward in that good book THE Art
| of Dining" 1.-The difference between
| gourmet and gourmand we take to be
| this, gourmet is he who selects for his nice
and learned delectation, the most choice
delicacies prepared Ill the most scientific
| manner: whereas the gourmand bears a
close analogy to that class of great eaters,
! ill-naturedly 1--WE dare say denominated or
| classed with Aldermen"
| TIE moral of it is, that all-bountiful ma
! ture has provided an abundance of the best
| for man to feed upon. That best, what
| ever it is, is good enough. Nothing else is
| good enough for one who would develop
the highest possibilities of human life in
any direction. DAVID A. CURTIS
