There are many dainty ways OF cooking
fish besides frying boiling and baking.
Some of these are quite easy OF achieve
ment and inexpensive and are, moreover,
30 per cent nicer Fish with a cheese sauce
is very good Almost any white fish. such
as haddock, cod, fatfish or halibut, be
cooked in this way.
Here is the recipe: Take from one pound
to two pounds of fish, wash 1t we'll and
dry 1t carefully. Then place it in clean
enameled iron stewpan, add three g1lls or
milk, salt. onion stuck with a Glove and
notched in order that the juice may escape,
a tiny blade of mace and good-slZed Spris
or parsley.
Simmer gently until the fish is cooked,
but do not allow the milk to reduce. Dish
it up hot and add from two ounces to four
ounces, according to taste, OF grated ched-
dar or Dutch cheese. Stir until the cheese
has thoroughly melted. pour it over and
around the fish and serve at once.
Here is still simpler and quicker way of
cooking small piece Of white fish. Wash
and dry, place in a well creased fire-proof
china dish, sprinkle thickly with fried
breadcrumbs minsed shallot, minced pars-
ley and, if possible, some minced mush-
rooms about two ounces. Place a bit of
butter here and there and pour over the
whole half small bottle of tomato catch
up: sprinkle more breadcrumbs on top and
bake in a moderate oven for from twenty
minutes to half an hour, according to the
size and kind.
For example. whitef1sh will take from
fifteen to twenty minutes to cook in this
way, sOlcS about the same time, but cod,
halbut or founder will need from twenty
five to thrty-fve minutes, or perhaps
little longer. Our homely friend, the ftoun-
der, is also delicious cooked in this fash
ion, and 1t IS worthy of note that the sauce
may be much improved by the addition Of

How to Woo Slumber.

In the first place, no drugs or opiates
should ever be taken. They give no per-
manent relief, but only add to the bodily
distempers which induce loss Of sleep. A
tepid bath before retiring is often effectual
In securing a good nights rest
Late meals should be avoided, unless they
arc habitual. Rest, and even sleep, are
natural after a full meal The siesta after
dinner is common in warm countries, and
sleep is natural after a meal if habitual.
Yet every one knows that, If accustomed
to eating a full supper dinner five or six
hours before retiring. the eating Of an un-
usual meal Immediately before bedtime is
sure to provoke disturbed dreams and I'M
quiet rest if not absolute sleeplessness.
Anything that will fix the attention helps
sleep. The counting of numbers backward
and forward will sometimes induce SOM
noency. Counting imaginary sheep jump
ing over an imaginary fence has been found
effective.
Rolling about the eyeballs or gazing in
tently with closed eyes toward the root Of
the nose often induces a state Of the body
and mind which brings on Slumber. It is
said when in deep thought the mind being
especially active the eyeballs turn upward.
When sleepless, try to turn them down.
The result will soon be unconsciousness. 1t
requires an active effort of the will to keep
the eyes in the down-turned position but it
always ends in sleep.

that the more they were discussed the
less disposed the delegates were to re-
quest their ratification. The adjourn
ment of the Reciprocity Convention
without any action whatever with re-
gard to these treaties probably seals
their fate Nothing is likely to be done
by Congress this winter beyond the au-
thorizing of a commission to investi-
gate the whole question of reciprocity.
The real friends of reciprocity-and
they are, as a rule, not free traders
will welcome the verdict of the Wash
ington convention as making more
surely for the establishment Of gen
eral reciprocity policy than any off
hand Endorsement of this or that
especial treaty, the nature of which
is not yet fully understood. The con-
vention mas done its work well. Its
officers and members are to be con-
graduated. And not the least proof of
their wisdom and patriotism is the
fact that the free trade organs of this
country are crashing their teeth and
fairly bowling in rage at the outcome
of the conference This of itself is
very satisfactory proof that that out
come is Just what the American peo-
pie would desire.-Boston Journal.

They tell us that they have come up
from small beginnings and that they
are now in flourishing shape. The Or
ganization first saw the light in 1884
and was christened the Massachusetts
Tariff Reform League. In 1883 1t
burst the bonds of statehood and be-
came the New England Tariff Reform
League. Next it broke the shackles
of tariff reform and in 1894 blazoned
forth as the New England Free Trade
League. Last November it had grown
so bold as to defy all local limitations,
and it now calls itself the American
Free Trade League. Under this title
it may claim a practically unlimited
jurisdiction in the Western heml-
sphere. 1t may hope for an Esqulmau
member from Cape Columbia in the
far north, and we are quite certain 1t
would not reject a cash contribution
from Terra del Fuego. There is room
for the organization to grow-any-
where outside of the United States.
According to the Almanac:
1.-THE membership of the League now
numbers over a thousand, represent
ing forty states and Canada, and in
Guiding a number of manufacturers,
MANY business and professional
men. and over thirty college profess
sors and teachers of economics, Presi-
dent Charles w. Eliot of Harvard, DR..
William G. Sumner of Yale, and many
Others A more intelligent, patriotic
body of men cannot be found. No
sordid greed of gain brings them to-
gether, but the desire and hope or
serving their country and redeeming
her from the errors and expressions
of Protection and setting her upon
the true path of justice, sound econo-
mics, and worldwide commercial su-
premacy. Besides the annual dues,
many of them zealously and gener-
ously aid the cause by voice, pen and
money. Last year s5.656 was thus
contributed, twenty-four articles writ
ten by members and others without
nay. and 100000 pamphlets sent broad
cast over the country"
AS an almanac pure and simple we
cannot conscientiously indorse the
publication. II contains, to be sure,
some meteorological matter of inter-
est. but it leaves out much informa-
ton that should have place in work
OF this character. For example, we
are told that:
There will be five eclipses in 1902
three of the sun and two of the moon,
four OF which will be invisible in the
United States"

Two Strings to His Bow.

Congressman Babcock occupies the
fortunate position of man who has
two strings to his bow. The two OBJ
jects of legislation nearest to his heart
are the removal of the tariff on steel
products and the reduction of the in
ternal revenue tax on beer. There are
those in Washington unkind enough to
intimate that the latter comes first and
that the Wisconsin congressman would
be GLAD to compromise the steel duty
with a cut on the beverage which
makes Milwaukee famous.
However that may be, it is evident
that there is an element in Congress
which proposes to oppose tariff reduc-
ton by internal revenue reduction.
They want to remove the war taxes
and then preserve the tariff because of
the demands for revenue. Beer is now
paying a tax of $1.60 per barrel. Be-
fore the war revenue act was passed 1t
was an even dollar. That figure was
doubled up. and the drop was made to
the present figure by the amendment
of last winter. The brewers want the
old tax restored, and Congressman
Babcock is With them. He therefore
stands to win whatever happens. If
he can't get the tariff revised he can at
least get the beer tax reduced.-Wi-
mona Mimi Herald.

which the Tariff Reformers brought
on us from 1898 to 1897.

A copy of the Free Trade Almanac
for 1902 has been received by the
American Economist, bearing the i'm
print, Issued by the American Free
Trade League, 6O2-3 fremont Building,
Boston, Mass, u. S. A. Price, Five
Cents" Cheap enough, one would
say at first thought, and yet dear
enough would be the second thought
when one considers the cause in pro-
pagation of which the Almanac is
put forth. For example, we find:
Its object shall be to free our
trade, our industries and DIR people
from all tariff taxes except those i'm
posed for revenue only,
Its method shall be to enlist con-
science, intelligence and patriotism
against the system called protection,
which at the dictation of organized
wealth taxes the whole American peo-
pie for the benefit of the few"
Five cents is a good deal of money
to pay for that sort of thing! But
there is liberal discount for cash and
large quantities. If you should hap
pen to want 100, you may have them
at cents apiece. At that price no
family need suffer for lack of the Free
Trade Almanac. These are protection
times, it must be remembered, and
nearly everybody nowadays can scrape
2 cents together. 1t was not so, how
ever, in free trade times of recent
memory. In those days there were
vast numbers of people who had lost
their Jobs and didn't have cents to
buy bread, much less Free Trade Al
manac. Commercially, the outlook
for this publication is better than it
would have been four to eight years
ago. Whether the enterprise will win
its share of the general prosperity
which it's promoters had no hand in
bringing about is another question.
Be that as it may, the Free Trade
Almanac is before the people, and its
publishers are prepared to push it.

Paul and Philip Payson were cousins
as dissimilar in character as they were
alike in appearance. In features,
coloring and physique they were al
most identical. 1t was only when side
by side that the difference between
them became noticeable. Apart 1t
would have taken the closest scrutiny
to tell which was which, save for the
strict clerical grab of the one and the
ultra fashionable habiliments of the
other. The -th Regiment was the
only tie they had in common, both be-
ing on Colonel Howgate's staff, the
one was as chaplain and the other as
paymaster.
| Paul was rector of west-end church
and among his small flock was Alice
Southcote, devout girl, of sterling
qualities, the only daughter of a
wealthy shipowner. Paul had always
admired this beautiful creature at a
distance, but now church work brought
them frequently together and Pau's
attentions grew more and more pro-
nounced until on a glorious June
night year later he plead for and OBJ
tanned her hand.
During the month following their
engagement the Maryland Brigade was
ordered into camp near Frederick
Upon arriving at the grounds 1t was
found that an insufficient number of
tents had been provided for the staff,
| tn a
beneficial influence over his hayward
cousin, insisted upon Philip sharing
his tent.
| Philip showed himself respectfully
Indifferent to the interest displayed in
his spiritual welfare and pursued his
old course with answering though
polite persistency. Paul soon became
convinced that as an instrument for
his cousins salvation he was dis
NAL failure. After futile struggle he
sorrowfully resigned himself to defeat
and then they got along swimmingly.
Late in the afternoon on the day be-
fore camp was struck Rev. Paul went
to his tent to exchange his white duck
uniform for the warmer blue one. In
the uncertain twilight he inadvertent-
ly put on his cousins blouse and sal
lied forth to dine with a parishoner
who had rented a country residence
near by. Fifteen minutes later Cap
tain Payson, perspiring and dusty
from regimental parade, came in and
throwing off his hot dress coat and
heavy boots hastily refreshed himself
with a sponge-bath and slipped on his
fatigue uniform. Not waiting for
mess, he hurried to the station in or
der to reach Frederick in time for an
engagement, blissfully ignorant that
on each shoulder reposed an embroid-
cred shepherds crook, the insignia OF
an army chaplain.
Arriving in the city Captain Payson
repaired to a hotel and ordered sup
per. His friends disappointing him,
he walked over to the - Club, hop
ing to meet them there. He sauntered
through the various rooms without
meeting any one he knew, winding up
at the bar, where he called for whisky,
tossing it down in the most approved
style, while several officers from an
other regiment stood by.
The officers seemed highly amused
over something. Philip heard their
suppressed laughter, little dreaming
that he was the victim, and heartily
tired of his own society he approached
them.
Gentlemen, will you not join me?
My name is Payson," he said, address,
ing them; and reaching into his
blouse, he passed card to each:

Collision at Bordentown.

railroad was in collision on Saturday af-
ternoon at Bordentown. The accident oc-
Cured on the sharp curve that marks the
approach of the tracks to Bordentown and
the shock came without any warning, bad
ly shaking up all the passengers.
The train was the 1.05 from Trenton,
which ran into an engine that had just
been detached from Hightstown train,
which was standing on a part of the "Y'
used by the Trenton train to reach the
Bordentown station. Had the Trenton
train been few seconds earlier it would
have met the detached engine in a part Of
the track which is on very high embark
ment. The curve is so great at the point
that it is said that the engineer of the pas
senger train had no opportunity to use the
brakes until the collision was about tc
take place The first thing the passen
gers knew of the trouble, was an awful
shock, followed by large amount of es
Gaping steam. The engine of their trair
had jumped the track, it evidently hav
ing been derailed by trying to run over {
large part of its pilot, which had beer
broken off by crashing into the detached
engine. The latter engine was sent {
hundred yards down the track by thu
force of the collision.
The detached engine was running with
out any orders except the command of tn,
conductor of the Hightstown train to hus
tie TO get out of the way of the Trenton
train.
