Passing of Terrapin aud Canvas backs

Passing of Terrapin and Canvas backs.
If the present rate of determination
poes on the menus of the country will
be deprived of the substance if not the
names of some of their best attractions.
Very few persons have eaten real canvas
back duck or real diamond-back terrapin
this season, although many thousands
think that they have. With canvas
back worth almost its weight in silver
md a terrapin even more precious, the
bona fide article has been scarce and the
narees have been used to cover clever
sub~t.tutes that only epicures could de-
tect. Indeed, with the terrapin at S6O
dozen, the only way for caterer to
serve it with financial success at the
average banquet is to mix with three or
four diamond backs eight or nine of the
s.sliders" of the far South or the cheaper
varieties of other sections. This year
the intermixture OF varieties so as to Sc
cure satisfactory result at satisfac-
tory price has become something OF an
art. The real canvas-back duck has ap-
peared intermittently on bills Of fare and
even in Baltimore, the headquarters OF
moderate-priced epicurealism, dish OF
it cost 81, the highest rate ever known
inthat city.
A man who recently returned from the
Chesapeake region says that it is Only: a
matter of time when the terrapin and the
canvas-back duck will be exterminated,
and the circumstances fully substantiate
his assertion. Fewer terrapin have been
caught this year than ever before. The
best come from the Chesapeake Bay, ani
the catchers all say that they never knew
them to be so scarce. They have been
hunted mercilessly, and, to add to the
depletion, the eggs have been taken
away by boys and men, who use them
for food.-Neu York Times.

rnMING CHURCE-GoERS.

Not only for the sake of the child of to-
day, but for the sake Of the man of the
future, should parents bring their children
10 the house of God. If the coming gen.
Grafton is 20 lie the church-goers, the
children of the present must be church
goers. The failure on the part Of Christian
parents to take their children TO church, by
gentle but firm compul>ion If necessary, is
the preparation of generation who will
neglect the hoa e of God. And for that
neglect the Christian parents Of today viii
be responsible.-lBib. '>""her.

GENERAL BOOTH on THE RUM CURSE.

In maintaining his position as an enemy OF
saloons, General Booth declared that the
Salvation Army, of which he is the head is
deathly antagonistic to the liquor traffic, In

Not even John Wesley could have been more

ALCOHOL IN COOKERY.

In these days when total abstinence is be,
coming more popular, there is a renewed
effort to introduce alcoholics into cookery.
