Fish Food for Lent.

Modern science commends the fish foods
of Lent us offering wholesome change
from meats and heavier food at season
when such a change is most welcome and
needful.
There are two reasons why fish is not
more generally used at all seasons. First,
ulost fish is boiled, and boiled improperly
that is, it is thrust into boiling water
and boiled rapidly until the flakes separate.
The albumnous portions of the fish are
toughcned by this process, and it loses a
large portion of the most nutritious ee-
ments of Which it is composed and be-
comes hard, tastcless aud indigestible.
Secondly, fish in this country is almost
invariably boiled in clear water, instead
of in court bouilon or favored water. The
seasoning of Il ,oIrt bouillon redeems the
somew hat tasteess flavor of many fish
while it brings out the fine, delicate ilavo or
of salmon, bluetish or any rich fish 1t is
as essential to flavor boiled fish in this way
AS it is to add salt to dish of meat or a
soup. The success of any dish of fish also
depends largely upon the sauce with which
it is served. Nearly every variety of boil
ed or baked fish demands special sauce
One of the most delicious fish for boiling
at this season is the white halibut, which
is now found in market in the form both
of the Young, which retails at about II
cents pound by the fish, and of the firm
full-grown halibut, which sells at 1S cents
a pound by the cut.-N- Y Tribune

Our New Judge.

We clip the following from the st
Marys Enfe'p i@.
"The March Term of our Circuit Court
has witnessed upon our bench a new face
in the person of Hon. George G. Merrick,
of Prince Georges county and lately APP
pointed by Governor Lownaes, to fill the
unexpired term of Judge John B. Brooke
which terminated by age limitation the
latter part of the year 1896. The new
Judge needs no introduction to the people
of St. Mary's, for already on several oc-
casions has his silvery oratory electrified
our people, and his legal ability made it
self known at our bar. Dignitied but not
distant in his bearing; genially urbane, and
courteous to all, we are sure the ermine
could not have fallen on shoulders more
deserving, or that its purity has ever been
more sacredly guarded by any who have
graced our bench than it will be by our
new Judge. May his presence continue
on our bench and none need fear but that
the scales of justice will ever be held with
steady and even hand"

IN MEMORIAM.

i Died at his residence, "Oakland,' near
this town on the 10Th inst, after linger'
ing illness, Mr. Robert A. Clagett, in the
72nd year of his age.
| When the aged die, after long life of
usefulness, there is consolation in the
thought that there is a release from the
trials and sufferin"s of earth; and it is
wrong to sorrow for one who,
"Lfe's blessings all enjoved, lifes lahors done,
Sereney to his ii ial rest has passed
Those who were privileged to know
the deceased intimately, and to see the re-
Election of his distinguishing characteris-
tics in the dearest relations of life, will
realize how great blessing his mortal ex-
| istence was to those around whom the ten
drills of his love and friendship were en-
twined.
In the relationship of husband and pa
rent his character was beautiful. The af-
fectionate solicitude and timely care, with
which he was wont to manifest his love,
will make his memory very dear to those
he leaves behind Unselfish and full of
tender sympathy, he seemed to find his
keenest pleasure in making the members
of his family comfortable and happy. He
felt the deepest interest in their welfare
and Joyous pride in their successes.
His life was that of Il consistent, honest
and upright Christian. Candid with all
men, Jealous Of his honor, strong in his
convictions, conscientious in his dealings,
he was an exemplary citizen, and, truly,
may it be said that he leaves to his descend
ants the priceless heritage of good name.
His mind was filled with interesting
"reminiscences of the past and of compan
ions long since departed. For many years
he was one of the most popular of IA cote
RE of devoted friends whose hospitable
homes and cultured society contributed to
the distinction anu refinement of this
community Many can recall the true
geniality and generous hospitality that al
ways characterized the Oakland" home
stead.
From early life he was a member of
Trinity Church, and for many years served
as vestryman. He had loving sympa-
thy for Gods faithful ministers and the
highest veneration for their priesty office
He was an intimate and esteemed friend
of the late Bishop Pinkney.
After the funeral services at Trinity
Church last Sunday his mortal remains,
accompanied by sorrowing friends and
relatives, were borne to the family bury
ing ground at Weston, and, in obedi-
ence to his desire-prompted by ancestral
pride and veneration, placed at rest I'M
der the spreading oaks where lie the bodies
of many generations of his forefathers and
the loved forms of children gone before.
May God temper the grief of those who
mourn him with the reflection that duties
done, sorrows endured and temptations
overcome, bring an exceeding great re-
ward

The Jail Injured by Fire.

Last Thursday night about eight o'clock
an alarm of fire was again sounded in this
town, and it was found the roof of the
Jail was in flames.
Mr.. Charles White, the jailor, had gone
home for his supper, and some of the
prisoners who head the cracking of the
burning timbers of the roof, made an
cutlery, and many people assembled, but
nothing could be done. The building was
supposed to be fire proof, and conseqent-
ly was not insured. The loss is supposed
to be about $1,000 The fire, it is suppos-
ed, was started by a man named Isaac
Tippett, who was put in the Jail one day
last week as being dementel 1, to await the
action of jury. He broke through the
plastering in the ceiling of his cell with a
broom, and stuffed straw from his bed in
the hole and then set it on fire. While
the fire was raging the prisoners were
confined in the Grand Jury room in the
Court House, but were returned to the
cells on the lower floor of the Jail the
next morning. The injuries to the build
ing are confined to the roof

Tobacco Packing.

The Baltimore News of Monday says I:
AN objection has come all the way
from France about the way Maryland to-
bacco growers pack their tobacco. 1t is
alleged by the foreign buyers that when
they receive consignments of Maryland
tobacco marked one grade, and open it,
they find that grade on the outside but
the inside filled up with lower and com
moner tobacco.
A committee from the Tobacco Buyers
Association has reported there they will
buy Maryland tobacco hereafter only sub
ject To review. Deputy Inspector l..
Bates Etchson has sent out circular to
all raisers in the western counties to that
effect.
1t means that when a hogshead of to-
h.cco is purchased and graded at what its
outside layers indicate it to be and the in
side is found to be packed with common
stalks that only the price usually paid for
the common stalk will be given for the
whole lot Most Maryland tobacco is
shipped to France, Germany and Italy.

Wellington Gives No Hope.

Senator Wellingto was in Baltimore
Wednesday and the usual crowd of poll
ticians was on hand He did not tarry
long, however.
AS usual, he advised all the Office seek
ers to pass the civil-service examination.
Some of the statesmen seekiHg jobs aske d
him if he did not think the President or
Congress would change the civil service
law, so as to give them chance. To this
the Senator replied that there was no
hope in that quarter. At this the states
men retired, many of them sorrowing,
and some of them swearing

John II. McLean'S
Great Newspaper.

Without a single exception, there
is beyond doubt no greater or more
popular newspaper in the United
States than the Cincinnati Enquirer
or more successful publisher than
its proprietor, Mr.. John R. Mclean.
The old-time prices for the Daily
Enquirer have been maintained, and
its circulation largely increased each
year; hard times and cheaper jour
nails failing to arrest its onward march
and high appreciation of the public
for its true worth and merit.
The Weekly Enquirer at beginning
of the campaign year was offered at
50 cents year, and its circulation
increased by the addition of over
zoo. 900 new subscribers the most
substantial and coveted testimonial
publisher could desire.
When asked for the secre: Of such
success, Mr. Mclean frankly answers:
The Enquirer has no opinions to force
upon Its patrons, it simply pr.nls the
facts and tells the truth that the reader
may form his own opinions. BY
maintaining the price of the paper,
more news and greater variety can be
furnished, and every class of b, siness
interests catered to, which a cheaper
journal cannot afford.
The very liberal support given the
Enquirer by the public at large, makes
it incumbent upon the management
to serve it faithfully with zeal and en-
terprise in minor matters as we'll as
those of greater magnitude.

ArbOr Day.

Governor Lowndes has issued procla
nation setting apart Wednesday, April
14th, as Arbor Day. This date is earlier
that usual and was selected because some
of the schools have holiday on April 10,
which this year is Holy Thursday.
A "horse-chestnut" tree which was
planted last Arbor Day on the lawn in
front of the executive mansion in Anna
polls, having died, was dug up Wednes-
.lay to make room for maple which will
be planted April IA. Too liberal use
of fertilizer is said to have killed last
wears tree. Governor Lowndes will plant
several maple trees around the State
House grounds on Arbor Day.

Rewards That Are Sure but Slow

"The rewards of honesty and unswerv
ing principle are sometimes slow, but that
in the end they are sure, and greater for
their slow coming, admits of no question: y
writes Edward W. Box in "Problems of
Young Men" in the LodeS lion" Jo,on
"Our principles are sometimes severely
tested, but this testing is given us with a
purpose. Holding fast to honorable prin-
ciples is the basis upon which all sure sue
cesses are built. Some have to pass
through more fire than others, but firm
ly believe that the reward in the end is
the sr alter to those Whu the world says
of man matters little in such Il struggle.
1t is the great inner satisfaction which
comes to a man that counts"
