Fish Matching for Maryland
Waters

For upwards of twenty wears the
waters Of Maryland have been supplied
food-fish by artificial Matching This
mode of furnishing the young fry for
the purpose of stocking the rivers Of
Maryland with foolish met with
hitter opposition on the part of many
when it was started. Ii WAS denounced
rs useless expense That it has
proven 4 great success in increasing
the supply Of fish no one at all az
quainted with the statistics will at
tempt 10 successfully controveri. The
fish. hatching houses in the state under
the care OF the Maryland fish com
mission are about TO begin operations.
and millions of fish are ariiiiciallv
matched hy them. Before the hatch
ing of fish was practiced the spawn
was delivered in the water by the
mother fish. and then was carried bv
the tide until it caught upon some
object and there, by the action Of the
tide, was Matched. Many million eggs
were annually destroyed bv eels and
other scavengers and the supply OF
fnod-tish gradually les>ened until il
was found that some more prospective
plan would have To be put into execu.
ton. The first move in the direction
of arlificially protecting the spawn was
channel Matching. This method was
employed for several years by the
Maryland fish commission. For this
purpose boxes about two feet long by
two feet wide and about three feet
deep and lined with netting. were pro-
vided, into these boxes were placed
the fish spawns. together with the
melt. AMI the box was then anchored
in the water in places where the tide
would have direct effect upon it,
BY the tide passing in and out the
eggs were kept always in motion and
were Matched. AZ the eggs Matched
the young fish would swim out until
all the eggs had become fish. II was
found that the boxes were often dis
turbed by bnats running them down
ar by high tides washing them ashore
and after II few years the present mode
of Matching was adopted, whereby the
spawn is carried 10 the Matching houses,
which are generally arranged in some
building near mill pond, where the
waste water can he used. II is neces-
sary To have experts TO gather the spawn
and hatch the eggs. rs the water must

eggs carefully handled. The Matching
houses at Salisbury Sharptown and
Tuckahoe are the largest on the East
ern Shore and are capable of turning
out many millions Of young fish every
season. Some years ago millions of
behring's were Matched in these houses.
Now the commission pays more at
tention to shad and German carp.

the shad in tank and shipped it to

spending the winter. The trained
shad would start North and the other
shad would follow it. The shad would
bring them up the Delaware bay to a
small stream, and then up the small

Thus the man was always able 10 put

The Closing Scene. "

Major-General William Dorsey
Pender, of North Carolina, was NOR
tally wounded by she'll on the Sec
ond day of the bloody battle of Get.
tysburg. In recent address deliv-
cred by W. A. Montgomery, Esq, at
Raleigh, the Memorial Day orator.
referring to Gen. Pender's removal
from the battlefield, gives this sad
picture of the last hours of the gal
liant soldier, around whose brow were
clustered the brightest rays of glory,
and who was then going "of duty
forever"
"Gen. Pender did not think his
wound a mortal one when he received
it, nor did his friends. His Commits
sary, Maj. D. 7. Carraway, saw him
in the ambulance, and though suffer-
ing from his wound, he particularly
inquired about the quantity of COM
missary supplies on hand, and about
the condition and comfort of his SOL
diers as minutely as when he was well.
He knew though his wound was a
serious one, and would be long in
healing; he therefore turned his face
from the field of carnage and was
driven toward the South.
"Ah! we know where his thoughts
were then. Though as brave as the
lion, he was yet as gentle as the lamb.
He had often heard the wild shouts
of his fierce soldiery as he lead them
with colors in his own hands or fields
red with slaughter, and he had also,
in the beautiful summer days gone
by, romped and played with his little
children over field and meadow and
in grassy lawn, while the wife and
mother looked on with beaming face.
But now, sorely wounded and help
less, his heart turned toward her
toward her who was more precious to
him than fame, and battle, and glory.
God bless all good women-to their
soft hands and plying hearts we
must all come at last"
But the brave soldier and loving
husband and father did not live long
enough to see his wife and children
again. On the retreat of the Con-
federates from Gettysburg, General
Pender took ambulance, and set out
for Staunton, Va, the nearest railroad
connection, where he died on the 18th
of July. The body was taken to
Tarboro, N. c., and buried. Mrs.
Pender and his three sons are still
living in North Carolina.

Proverbs, xiv, iO.
A cross is part of the household
furniture OF every family. It is the
decree of Providence that it shall be
30. It would be very strange if you
could find an exception to the rule.
There are many sweets in life, but
there was never a heart that had no
bitterness. There are pages in every
book which are never read except by
ourselves and One Other. The rest
of the volume is open to Our friends
and to the world. God and we have
many secrets which are not confded
to third party. He understands us;
no one can. This is peculiarity of
our human life. And fortunate it is
that the veil which covers OUT hearts
cannot be lifted. If we could see all
that our neighbors suffer, and they
could see what we suffer, the reVela-
tion would be very painful and life
would have an added agony. We are
graciously permitted, therefore, to
have place of concealment where we
keep our special disappuintments and
our private griefs, the key to which is
never lost or mislaid.
The true and noble meke the best
Of life, and refuse to increase anoth-

Small souls, like babbling brooks, tell
everything as they go; but souls that
see the plan of God tell all to Him
alone and find certain comfort in
their reticence toward others.
The degree of happiness we enjoy,
therefore, depends largely on our
selves. Our environment has less to
do with happiness than we think
The important question is whether
we have the necessary elements within
the heart, and if that is decided in
the affirmative it makes but little diff
ference what our surroundings are.
1t is hard to believe this, for we are
living in an age of show and sham
and display. In the decalogue of
