USE OF THE TERM "sARDINE."
Decision of the Department of Agriculture
on the Question.

Many inquiries have been made at
Washington respecting the extent TO
which the term ''sardine" may be used
in food products entering into foreign or
interstate commerce. The question or the
proper labelling of fish of this kind was
submitted to the bureau OF hsheries; ,
After reviewing the nomenclature and
trade practices, the following conclusion
was reached:
Commercially. the name sardine has
come to signify any small, canned ciu-
peoid fish, and the methods of prepare
ton are so various that it is impossible
TO establish any absolute standard of
quality. 1t appears to this department
that the purposes of the pure food law
will be carried out, and the public fully
protected if all sardines bear labels
showing the place where produced, and
the nature of the ingredients used in pre-
serving or flavoring the fish
In harmony with the opinion of the ex-
perts of the bureau of fisheries, the de-
partment of agriculture holds that the
term "sandine" may be appned 10 any
small fish described above, and that the
name "sardine" should be accompanied
with the name of the country or state
in which the fish are taken and prepared,
and with statement of the nature OF
the ingredients used in preserving or
flavoring the fish.
1t is held that a small fish of the clu-
peoid family, caught upon or near the
shores of, and packed in oil in Norway,
or smoked and packed in oil, is properly
labeled with the phrase. Norwegian
Sardines in Oil" or Norwegian Smoked
Sardines in Oil" the nature of the oil
being designated. In like manner a
small fish of the clupeoid family, caught
upon OF near the shores of, and packed
in France, may be called French Sar-
dimes in Oil" the nature of the oil being

fish of the clupeoid family, caught on
or near the shores of, and packed in the
United States. may be labeled "Ameri-
can Sardines Packed in OIL" or Maine
Sardines Packed in OIL" or be given
some similar appellation, the nature of
the oil being stated. 1t Is suggested that
the name of the particular fish to which
the term sardine is to be applied should
also be placed upon the label-for ex-
ample, |'Pilchard.' Herring"

SOLDIERS STORIES.
ENTERTAINING "REMINISCENCES
OF THE WAR.
Graphic Account of Stirring Scenes
Witnessed ON the Battlefield and In
camp-veterans of the Rebellion Re-

Gen. Charles II. Howard, in his talk
at the Appomattox celebration of Co
lumbia Post. told Of many traits aud
characteristics of General Grant, with
whom the speaker served in the Army
Of the Tennessee. While testifying TO
the well-known reserve in speech Of
General Grant, his former associate
said that the great general was by no
means an unsocial man.
General Grant was thoughtful OF
the comfort and the feelings of the Of
fieers and men with whom he was In
contact" said General Howard. He
was not, OF course, loquacious, nor was
he silent and uncommunicative. He
talked well and intelligently, and took
his associates into his confidence as
much rs was desirable or wise, for one
in his position. In battle he was a
study in the cool and sane conduct OF
the situation.
AT the battle Of Lookout mountain
| was carrying orders between him and
my division, and ! was struck with
the perfect appreciation he had Of the
real state of affairs in every part OF
the field, field which stretched, re-
member, over miles of country. He
never forgot when / gave him news,
just how the part of the movements
reported had stood an hour, or two
hours, before.
The whole progress OF the engage
ment was clearly in his mind, from its
beginning 10 the moment, and you may
be sure 1t was well outlined also as
to the succeeding hours and events OF
the battle.
Grant was never profane in his
speech. In all OF my associating with
him-and / was closely associated with
him--I never heard him use an oath, $or
swear at all. His repugnance to vul-
garity in language is we'll known. He
would not endure IL in his presence.
His regard for others was strong. and
he was patient man, but there was
a limit to his patience That limit was
reached, and he quickly showed 1t,
when any one began wagging a loose
or profane tongue in his presence.
Although Grant was Of direct, sim
pie speech and manners, careless in his
dress and never stIckler for ETH
quette, he had natural and quiet dig
nifty which was felt by all with whom
he came in contact. He never had to
assert himself. What he was showed
too well."-Chlcago Journal.

prince regent to dinner, and was about
TO sun herself for the first time in the
smiles of royalty. Suddenly a post

sticking out of the windows, dashed into
the square and stopped at Lord Castle

house, where Lord Castlereagh was
guest, and in few moments the prince
regent held in his hand the Duke of Wei

news upset Mrs. Eochm's evening for on
receiving the message the prince hastily

Farm Wood Lots.

Throughout very large portion of
the United States nearly every farm
has certain part of its area under
wood. either planted, as In regions
otherwise treeless, or of natural growth.
The value of this wooded portion, be-
sides affording protection from the
wind, is chiefly for fuel, fencing and
railroad ties, with some building ma.
terial and the wood needed for special
uses about the farm. Without the
wood lot the farm very often would be
an Improbable investment, because the
farmer could not afford to buy the
wood which now costs him very little
except the labor Of cutting and moving
1t. but in the majority of cases this
part of the farm Is far less useful than
It might easily be made. This Is true
because the farmer does not study its
productive capacity as he does that OF
his fields and pastures, and hence does
not make 1t yield as fully as be might,
with little or no additional labor, If he
went about It in the right way.-Gifford
