HIGH PRESSURE DAYS.

Men and women alike have to work
incessantly with brain and hand to
hold their own nowadays. Never were
the demands of business, the wants of
the family, the requirements of society
more numerous The first effect of
the praiscworthy effort to keep up with
all these things is commonly seen in
weakened or debilitated condition CT
the nervous system, which results in
dyspepsia, defective nutrition of both
body and brain, anil in extreme cases
in complete nervous prostration. 1t
is clearly seen that what is needed is
what will sustain the system, give
vigor and tone to the nerves, and keep
the digestive and assimilatve func-
tons healthy and active. From per-
sonal knowledge, we can recommend
Hoods Sarsap ,rilla for this purpose.
1t acts on all the vital organs, builds
up the whole system, and fits men and
women for these high-pressure days.

An Appeal to Mothers.
BY Frances e. Willard.

The following is an appeal to moth
ers, written some years ago by Frances
E. Willard, which is as applicable to
the 81 uation now as it was then:
Best Belored IF Human Hearts,
Evermore have you been held by me
in most worshipful sanctity as patron
saints of the dearest temple, on this
earth-the home. In you have be-
held my own blessed mother, and her
face has mirrorcd every other true
mothers face to me- Nor would |

right to come to you with loving ex-
hortation did | not know that /, too,
have mother heart-one that has
always loved, cherished and achcd for
that most winsome and most wayward
Of all children gone astray-humanity.
Let me then come to you with trust
and tenderness, about the juvenile
temperance work, and may Gods
Spirit help me to lay that wonderful
work upon your hearts. For | have
learned in these thirteen years of con-
slant journeyings, in which the obsta-
cles to its success have become known
to me in thousand different towns
and cities, that chief among them all is
the Indifference of mothers, and next,
the difficulty Of getting grown people
to conduct the juvenile society. Not

society, and wouldn't come The lit
tie enthusiasts were always ready, |
mean. as class, and when the society
suspended, as it often did, fer the two
reasons just given, they would stop
the temperance ladies on the street and
say, when will the Loyal Legion be-
gin again." But let me show you how

what mothers have said until their
words have passed into uncanny
proverbs among our workers. 81 can

that he shall go, aad then he will, but
he likes to be out doors, and forgets

appearance, and seem to lack vitality.
This is not true Of college men. The
movement for woman's higher educa-

But would it not be wise for our COL

facts-that nature and vitality are

business with success and pleasure.
If he works with intelligence, thrift
and frugality, he will always have
something to sell, be thoroughly inde-
pendent; and, if in close proximity to
steam or electric road, his family can
have many Of the advantages Of city
life, while at the same time they enjoy
the freedom, independence and health
fulness of their country home.
If the gentleman of the house has
business that takes him to town daily,
for reasonable salary he can employ
a competent man to superintend his
farm work, and still participate in the
keen pleasure which the lover of agri-
culture always finds in the bursting
buds, in the ripening crops. and in the
increase OF flocks and herds. 1t is the
soothing contact with nature that tends
to develop the physical, mental and
moral man to the greatest perfection.
Statistics will show that the strong
men in business and in the professions,
whose careers adorn the annals of
metropolitan cities, come, almost in
variably, from the farm. Their de-
velopmcnt in youth is not warped by
any of the cunvcllliunalitirs oi tie city.
The associations and environments Of
the farm dwarf the artificial and mag
Nifty the natural side Of life. Thus it
is the countrybred boy generally grows
true to natures standard.
And so in my plea for the country
home. would have you remember that
it is the nursery where the tledgelings
in human form can have the safest, the
purest, the noblest and the truest de-
velopment. Where the trees assume
most graceful proportions, and the
flowers are of richest hucs and sweetest
fragrance, there, too, will childhood
blossom most perfectly and grow into
the most beautiful maturity.-Fred-

PLANKED SHAD RECEIPT.
POINTS ON THE PREPARATION OF THIS
SUCCULENT DISH.

Shad arc in season, says the Brook
lyn Eagle. These fish are verita-
BILE gift to man, as was the mama to
the children of Israel.
Shad has always been favorite dish
in New York, for the reason it is al.
ways caught in abundance, was always
fresh, was native to it's waters and was
palatabie and healthy and cheap, ard
the old residents always had an eye to
economy.
There is no record when plank shad
was first discovered. That it was in
use before Columbus landed in Amer
ica is established by the fact that men,
ton is made of the Indians Cooking
the fish upon logs on the banks Of the
river" They had no broilers or fry
ing-pans, and since they could not eat
raw shad it is selfevident proposition
they must have cooked it upon logs
before the fire, for the oily nature OF
the shad would have burned and
smoked if it was suspended over the
fire. 1t is fair, then, to argue that
planked shad was the first way shad
cooked, and it is now becoming the
most sensible. easiest and best way to
prepare the gsh for the table.
Thousands havo carried the good
news until all the stores now carry
siad planks as they do frying pans
and broilers and everyone who has an
oven can have planked shad
There are many who have never
tried it, however, and suppose planked
shad must be prepared before the fire
as the old-timers used to do. The ex-
planation of the process and the way
of it is as follows: In all wood there is
an acid, which can be recovered by dis
tillation or heat ,differentwoods different
acids, in the same class. of woods as
oak, different acids; this difference is
the cause of the different kinds of ap-
pies, and yet they grow on apple trees.
The cause is in the acid that is in the
wood. After a trial of all kinds of
wood, white oak grown on the hum
mocks of Southern Florida has been
found to contain the acid of just the
right kind, a pyroligenous acid that
uniting with the oil Of the shad makes
gas that imparts to the fish lus-
cious, sweet and pleasing flavor.
The plank is made about IL inches
wide, l6 inches long and 2 inches thick,
well battered on the ends to prevent
checking, for wood is not expected to
stand fire and heat, and lasts only a
limited time in this service.
The plank should he heated and the
top lightly buttered (do not use bacon
or salt pork, for it counteracts the del
icate flavor), the shad split down the
back and laid upon the plank skin side
down, the roes being placed in their
natural position. one on each side, a
slight spread of butter over the shad
and roes and sprinkling Of salt and
pepper. The whole should be placed
in hot oven; in from 80 to As min
utes, according to the size of the shad,
it will be cooked. The whole plank
should be brought on the table.

LIQUIDS at meals, if taken too ofte

liquids at meals, if taken too often
or too carelessly, are liable to dilute
the gastric juices. Take no liquid Of
any kind when food is in the mouth.
Take as little as possible till the close
of the meal. Like digestive agents
themselves being fluids it is reasonable
to suppose that an excess of liquids
taken with the food will have ten
dency to dilute and thereby weaken
the digestive juices.

MESSAGES OF SPRING.



No longer desolation and silence,
Beautiful Nature no longer moLrn>;
The Child of God has awakened,
Sweet flowers dot the lawns.
She puts on her robes Of beauty;
On her face is happy smile:
In many beaut; full forms she comes,
Scattering happiness for awhile.
The sunshine, the birds, and flowers
Speak Of hope to the fa.nting heart;
Each has language Of its own;
joyful messages Of peace they impart:
Each breathes with the s0ftest influence,
Sweeter music than tones Of the harp;
Their joy expands, and csc apes,
Thrills the inmost core of our heart.
The rose shall again breathe sweetness;
The sunbeam| glad thoughts will weave;
The BIRDS bear their own sweet message;
A song for the sad they leave.
Days seem too bright and fair to last.
We are cast on sea OF dreams.
Life lo-es its stern reality,
We driI in the suns bright beams.
A wounded. bird ard a broken flower,
Our sympathy should share;
For how akin they are to us,
They give us morals rare.
They are such tender fragile things,
As if wrought for sunshine alone
Oh, who would harm, or treat with scorn,
PuIe tokens from His throne
Flowers are natures true offering,
They speak of brighter days;
ID splaying Gods great excellence
In numerous beautiful ways.
But these like life's enjoy nentS,
Fade quickly and pass away;
The reign is sweet, but o so Short
Enjoy and be thankful to-day.
Spring cannot be with us always,
The sun will not always shine;
Summer must ftde into winter,
Aud the clouds have no silver line;
b ;rds shall cease their sweet music,
Dame Nature look dreary and sad;
Ger lis some shadow is bound to fall,
To test the heart of the glad.
Through all this life ami brightness,
There steals step we fear;
Our young bright hopes are destroyed,
Our courage and strength disappear.
The brightest eyes are dimmed with tears,
The strongest Of us succumb,
The rosiest lips breathe forth sa signs,
Let us pray ere dark hours come.
Every soul has its trials.
Which must te borne without aid,
Save that, which the Heavenly Father,
Bestoweth on those, who have prayed.
He in II is infinite goodness,
Will ever snow us the way,
Who alone dispels the darkest clouds,
Turns night into brightest day.
Prayer draws us Closer to His shrine;
Let US meet our conflicts through, Him,
lie will give US the power and strength
For the way, howe'er narrow and dim;
Let the hearts fragrance be given to Him;
Pray and love through all he may send,
Thus we may draw power of faith,
To cheer us on to the end.

ANIMALS HAVE PETS.

When good sheep dog is i'll charge
of a flock of sheep, he has one regular
way of driving and Furnishing those
that stray. He nips lightly with his
teeth the sleeps hind leg just below
the hook. A dog named Ralph, be-
longing to sheep farmer on the chalk
down near Hungerford, in Wiltshire,
was noticed by the shepherd to allow
one of the flock great deal more lib
erty than any of the others. Curious
to know if this was only fancy on his
part, the sh, phcrd set the dog on the
sheep as soon as it began to stray again.
The collie ran around the creature,
pushing it, licked it, but absolutely re-
fused to bite it, The dog never re-
laxed in the least his severity toward
the rest of the flock, but to his special
pet he could not be too kind, and
eventually it was found necessary for
the sake of discipline to get rid of the
spoiled creature.
Horses are always fonl of the stable
cat. The great race horse Australian
was so passionately attached to his
special cat that wacrever he went she
had to he taken too. He could not y
trusted at the starting post unless his
cat had been in his stall before he was
taken out. The Godolphin Arab
Scham, the first Arab thoroughbred
brought to England, had a black cat
which always slept on his back. One
day he accidentally crushed her. After
that the mere sight of cat sent the
great horse into convulsions of fright
A great gardener at Croydon was
amazed one day to find that basket
he had filled with carrots half an hour
before was unaccountably empty. He
refilled the basket and hid behind
trells to watch for the thief. He could
hardly believe his eyes when he saw a
little half-bred terrier that he kept
about the place as watchdog take
carrot in its mouth and slink off Dogs
do not eat raw carrots, so he quietly
followed the animal. The dog went
straight to the stables and, wagging
his tail, presented the carrot to the
horse in whose stall he slept. The
scene was repeated until the supply of
carrots was exhausted.
The writer once owned an American
raccoon which was a most amusing.
but very mischievous pet. He was
kept chained like dog in kennel and
only allowed out when some one was
watching him. One day little black
kitten was found in his kennel. She
must have strayed within reach of his
chain and he had caught her and
adopted her. He treated her rs well
as her own mother could have done
and divided all his food with her. She
always slept between his forepaws.
When she got bigger, it was his de-
light to be set loose and allowed to
play with her. The two would scamper
all over the garden, and if any stray
dog approached the sharp little cry of
the raccoon warned pussy to escape up
a tree.-Lonlou Ansuers.

MAlfLBORO' MUSINGS.

1t is as much the duty of most peo-
pie to marry as it is the duty of some
people not to marry.
Most men believe every woman they
meet perfect until she herself shows
them that she has faults.
The best thing in the world is that
trustful look in woman's eyes and
happy, thrice happy, is the man who
can inspire it.
One of the saddest sights in the
world is a mere beauty's first fading
look.
That which man looks for most from
woman is sympathy; woman to man
for protection.
The man who degrades any woman
would degrade all women if he could.
"He's now making more money
backing horses than he ever did"
"How?"
"He's working on dump"
Open and empty can Of tomatoes
several hours before you attend to use
the contents. The tomatoes will have
a much better flavor.

not a conscience in everything.

when is permits of a future.

President General.

To the Editor of The Times:
The converting of the Tenth Annual

ciety of the Daughters of the American
Revolution, TO be held in Washington, D.
c.. in February OF this year, will have a
very important matter of which TO dis
pose. and very serious obligation meet
ing it, upon the wise and careful per-
formance of which will depend, to very
great degree, the future welfare of this
great organization.
This duty is the election OF a wise. con-
servatiye and acceptable woman 20 the
office of president general of this immense
body of patriotic women. 1t is no light
task and no triiiing responsibility that
faces the delegates at this next congress.
Upon their wise judgment and perfect
spirit of justice depend great issues.
There is certain amount of available
timber in this society, taking into con-
sideration the diverse purposes and in
terests of the body to be represented but

choose with care and with q view to all
eXigencies, a woman who will combine in
her personality the requisites for meeting
the calls upon her as the executive officer
of so great an organization. More than
one name has been suggested: more than
one partisan has borne the standard of
her favorite candidate. To my mind and
that of a number of the Daughters" MIS-
Donald Mclean is the logical candidate.
She has long been identified with the work
and purposes of the society She unites
in her person fine presence. a clear
