Spiced mackerel is extremely appe-
hzing and may be prepared by the fol-
lowing directions: Select three or
four fresh, fat mackerel and clean them
without splitting them. Place them
in crockery dish and sprinkle then
with salt and pepper, adding three
bay leaves, three blades of mace and
six whole allspice. Mix vinegar and
water in equal proportions and cover
the fish with it. Cook for three hours
in slow oven. Remove to the serv'
ing dish, pour the remaining vinegar
and water left from the three hours
cooking over the fish, and serve at
once. If put in cold place the fish
may be kept for several days.-New

Another curious incident followed
their army's retreat 20 the hills west
of Santiago when our army was clos

gents took possession % spanish block
houses TO the number OF six and
burned them. That was the number

brated this summer its one hundred
and thirtieth anniversary. A compari-
son OF its latest exhibit, selected from
over fourteen thousand statues and
paintings. with that Of the Society OF

the growth OF public taste. Three
items from the earlier catalogue are:
Two birds in shell work. on a rock

in human hair; frame OF various de-
vices. cut in velvet with scissors. con-
tanning the Lords Prayer in the com

1t is something unusual for French
and other European writer's TO study
American finance Monsieur r. G. Le-
Wy, well-known financial authority,
has written. for the Revue des Deux
Mondes an article upon debt and tax
alton in the United States. in which he
expresses the opinion that the new
taxes resulting from the Spanish war
will make it necessary to conduct our
financial affairs with more care and
scrutiny than has been our custom. He
also remarks-what is so obvious that
II should be commonplace with us
that if we adopt an Imperial" policy
our people must be prepared TO bear
burdens of taxation similar to those
under which the European nations ara
groaning. His goodwill toward us is
shown in his expression OF hope that
the great republic will remain faithful
to the traditions of moderation, wis
dom snd reason bequeathed to it by its
illustrIous founders.
