Lenten demand for fish is excellent
There has been a good trade in progress
throughout the current month, and
values have ruled high on both fresh and
cured offerings.
The bulge in egg prices helps the fish
trade considerably. It tends to increase
the consumption of the latter, and rare
ly is the call for fish more urgent at this
season than it has been of late in this
market
Fresh mixed arrivals for the week have
aggregated nearly 100000 lbs, being
brought to port in GA cargoes. Receipts
of similar character at Gloucester ag-
gregate 900 lbs.
With the exception of a few barrels
from Nova Scotia the arrivals of salt
mackerel for the week have been from
Ireland. There were 773 barrels report

OILS for these offerings, and some deal

holding out for more.

Frozen herring are in fair supply, and
there is a steady call for them for bait.
HOLSTERS have beenl scarce for some
time. Recent receipts have brought
about $40 crate.

4 HEARTLESS FATHER.

"Don't take my Kismass money,
papa" tearfully pleaded a little three
year. old of Montreal the other day.
Her father was once counted among
the respectable residents of the city,
says the Gazette, but while his daugh-
ter piteously cried, he heartlessly alb
stracted from the little tin bank her
first Christmas savings of 26 cents.
The bank was present from a rela-
tive. In gleeful anticipation of all
the nice things they would purchase
bye and bye, the little miss regularly
dropped therein the small coins as
she got them, until it seemed to her
the bank contained untold wealth.
Her father was generally kind and
loving. But now he listened to his
child's heart breaking appeal with
Indifference, and an hour later his
wife found BIN at the neighboring sa-
loon in a state of boisterous intoxica
tion-drunk on liquor bought with his
baby girls first Christmas money.

Promises Renewed.

Havana, Feb. 27.-The banquet at the
Tacon theater proved brilliantly success
full. Governor General Brooke and Gen
eral Lee spoke. Cubans generally re-
gard the occurrences at the function as
the most promising auguries of Cuban
independence since the peace protocol
was signed. The spectators called
vociferously for speech from General
Lee. His remarks and those of General
Brooke were translated for the benefit of
The assembly. Both the American speak
ers repeated statements of the military
administration, chiefly along the line of
assurance that the United States in
tended to establish stable government
in the island and then to deliver it to the
Cubans themselves. These assurances
were vociferously applauded.

The W. 2T. U. is very much inter
ested in son-e of the legislation now
before Congress. The Ellis bill, which
will do away with the army canteens,
and stop the sale of liquor in all of
the Government buildings, meets
with heartiest approval. The papers
are being scanned as to the action
that will be taken by Congress re-
garding the repeal Of Prohibition in
Alaska. The seating Of the Mormon
Congressman is also awakening earn
est interest among the women; petit
tons have already been sent in to the
the members Of the House local I'm

dent by the National protesting
against it; but as action cannot be
taken with regard to this until next
December, the w. G. T. U. will prob
ably delay their agitation until later
effort at this time being a little pre-
mature.

The special thanks of all good citi-
zens are due to Congressman M. N.
Johnson, of North Dakota, and w. w.
Grout,of Vermont, for carrying to vic
tory the anti canteen amendment of
the Hull army bill in the House Of Rep
resentatives on January 81. The vote
was nearly unanimous and showed
that petitions, often decried, are yet
a power. The Senate committee on
military affairs did not concur with
the House on this amendment, but
substituted another permitting the
sale of malt liquors in the army. This
ought to arouse Christian citizens all

HoRSEFLESH IN PARIS.
II b Eaen In G;sai Quantities. and In Mary In
stances UnaMaes.

A veterinary surgeon of Troyes, M.
Morot by name, has issued a pamphlet
in which he deals with the consumption
OF horseflesh in France. 1t seems that
the number OF horses killed annually
for purposes of food has been steadily
on the increase for years past; though
whether this increase is due to any real
development of the popular taste for
horsefiesh as an article of diet or mere
ly to clandestine and unspeakable
maneuvers on the part of butchers and
restaurant proprietors does not appear
with all the clearness that might be de-
sired.
The sale of horseflesh for food was
first publicly carried on in Paris in
1866 This novel meat was viewed. 10
begin with, with extreme suspicion, but
the enforced eating OF horseflssh during
the siege seems to have done much to
remove the Erejudices of Parisians. for
the consum ton has since gone up
without irtermission. From 503i in 1872
the number OF horses slaughtered rose
TO 10,60S in 1877, to 12,710 in 1883, To
1896 in 1885, TO 20.SS9 in 1890 and ia
%. 1s6 in 1S94-'the most recent figures
given.

keys ana mules, for which there is also
a certain demand. Special slaughter
houses exist for the purpose, under the
control Of a special STAFF of inspectors.
and there are now quite a number OF
butchers who admittedly sell nothing
whatever but horsefiesh. There is even
q society for the promotion Of eating
horseflesh. TO which the members OF
the body ascribe especial hygienic vir-
tues as well as eminent gastronomic
qualities. Nj. Morot himself is loud in
his praise of horseaesh. but he COM

CAVIAR.

In twenty-five years caviar has
grown 10 one OF the recognized delica-
cies OF the Americantable. OF course
YOU know that IL Is only sturgeon roe,
and all you get is not genuine, but the
imitation approaches the genuine sum
ciently To satisfy those who are not I'd
millar with the real thing, says The
Kitchen.
The general and greatly increased ia
vor with which caviar is received has
caused great drain upon the sturgeon
fisheries OF Europe. and those OF the
United States and Canada. which with
in the past few years have been called
upon TO meet the demand, and in con-
sequence are approaching exhaustion.
When the call for sturgeon roe was
figst made, most of the supply was pro-
cured from the northern rivers howinS
into the Atlantic and from the great
fresh water lakes on our northern
oundaries-especially from the lakes
of the North. Within the past two
years there has b en- a very large catch
in set nets al pounds off the beaches
OF New Jersey and Long Island. This
has adie1 measurably TO the supply or
eggs. and has proved a most profitable
industry 10 the fishermen. With the
ocean take and that of the rivers and
lakes, our annual production OF roe for
the making OF caviar cdnION De less
than 2iO 900 pounds.
The weight of roe in proportion to
that OF each fish is from 10 TO IA per
cent. AS any one who uses this delicacy
will consume more than one ounce for
a single portion, the contribution of the
United States and Canada is a valuable
addition 10 the European output. The
weight OF eggs taken from each female
sturgeon varies. Those taken on the
spawning grounds OF the rivers carry
a much higher percentage OF roe than
those caught in the sea while on the
way thither. The fishermen near a mar
ket have two profits from the fish-the
flesh and the eggs. The former is pal
atable If Il be freed from skin and fat
before cooking Otherwise. when heat
ed. 1t gives off a most repugnant odor.
There is no reason why Americans
should not have caviar In perfection
made from the roe OF sturgeon caught
here 1t could be kept in cold storage
in the original packages, either in what
l. called the mild form. that is half
salted, or fully salted. Instead Of that
most American sturgeon roe Us export
ed and is returned in tins or bottles un-
der foreign labels, stale and hard and
in no way comparable Ito that which is
fresh made.
