Fish Pies In England.

In mediaeval England fish pies were a very favorite dish at Christmas time, and lamprey pies were regarded as special luxury. The cost of such deli cacies was very great. In 1914 the sheriff of Gloucester provided forty four for the royal table at cost of f12 5s. Sd, sum nearly equivalent to f1OO at the present day. Those taken from the Severn were especially noted, and it became an annual custom for the city of Gloucester to send a lam prey pie to the king. There is a rec ord of such complimentary presents being sent to Cromwell and to Len thall, the speaker of the long parlia- ment Owing to the municipal corpora ton act Gloucester's annual custom ceased in 1886, but in 1893 the mayor revived it and sent pie to Queen Vic toria at his own expense. His sue cessors have followed his example, London Mail.

The vessel was clear of the channel at mid night and the night steamers got away without trouble.

building good roads in u parish, we
can learn from the experience Of 9th
ers. of the best and most economical
way to build roads.
At present there are a number OF
experiments in good road building 60
ing on in various parts of the state,
some under Governor Sanders plan
and some under different plans. Sew
eral police juries have set aside large
sums of money for building good roads
and in the results from the methods
adopted we ought to be able to gather
some very valuable information on
the cost and durability of the roads
under the different plans.
Meantime with us arrangements
have been made for a trial of using
asphalt oil in road building, a plan
that has been tried in a number of
places and said to be very satisfac-
tory. If the oil method is a success

its effectiveness, then it will have to
recommend it above other methods
two very important merits: economy
and protection to the road by laying
the dust and saving wear. Wear on
roads because of dust blowing away
has been very destructive and created
extra cost in their maintenance. We
want good roads, but, mindful OF our
limited funds for that purpose, we are
under obligations to keep studying the
matter of good road building, and
when we find a good method that gives
results, then take up the good road
question in earnest and build perman-
ent roads all over the parish for our
comfort, convenience and continual
benefit.
