If we retrace our steps and FOL.
low the course OF the Lyn, in a
few moments we find ourselves ii
scene OF beauty, and we can
wander along the banks Tor sever
al miles lost in wonderment at the
glories opening out before rs.
Below IS raviue down the cen
ter of which is a rushing stream,
the bed of which is strewn with
huge rocks, round which the wa
ter whirls and iashes itself into
foam. On either side are precipi-
tous hills densely wooded, and we
here and there obtain a glimpse of
banks OF gigantic foxgloves and
other wild flowers, whilst near the
waters edge are ferns in bewilder-
ing variety, some of which are
almost tropical, reaching a height
of nearly six feet.
A walk of about two miles
brings Us to the famous Waters
meet - where the CoOr1he Water
joins the Brendon Water in sue
cession of beautiful falls, and the
grandeur and manifold beauties of
the scenery at this point may
tempt us to remain here till we
are ready to resume our iourney
back to Lynmouth.
Should, however, we decide to
proceed, we can follow the Bren-
don Water for another four OF five
miles through scenery mOmentari-
~ growing more beautiful until
we at length reach Doone valley,
where we can explore many OF the
points of interest referred to in
Blackmore's novel, including the
famous Waterslide, and the tiny
church at Dare, in which Lorna
and Jan Kidd were married. There
are two or three routes by which
we can wend our way homeward,
each equally beautiful, but as we
are probably tired, we may find it
advisable to charter one Of the car
rlages which ply for hire near the
entrance of Doone valley.
A tiny cliff railway for a small
cost will take us from Lynmouth
into Lynton near the North walk,
probably the finest coast walk in
the kingdom. Cut in the face of
the cliff between six and seven
hundred feet high with jagged
masses of rock towering above Us
for another two or three hundred
feet, we have a scene of superb
grandeur, and after a walk of
about mile find ourselves by
Castle rock, and at the entrance of
the famous Valley Of Rocks.
Days and weeks fly quickly by
in exploring the beauties of this
romantic little spot. Lee Bay and
Woody Bay are within easy dis,
lance and their delightful glens,
coombes and rushing streams, be-
yond which it the steep gorge of
Heddons Mouth, while coach rides
to 1lfracombe, boat trips to Glow
ely, and the toy railway to Barn
staple give US the opportunity of
familiarizing ourselves with beau
ties of which ali Englishmen
should be proud.

Prince Albert's high regard fol

poet became great friends. On
the death of the prince consort in
1861, Tennyson wrote the dedica-
ton of the "Idyls," a sincere trib-
ute which won the heart of Queen
Victoria, with whom warm
friendship now sprang up. In
1859 the "Idyls of the King had
been published. Though vitality
interested in the affairs of his day,
the past had strong attractions for
Tennyson: he intended TO make
his chief work the Arthurian
legend; and the tales of mystic
Round Table, OF medieval knight
and lady, of tournament and ioust,
added greatly to his fame and
popularity. In 1864 appeared
"Enoch Arden probably the
most popular of his works, though
it must not be forgotten how The
Charge of the Light Brigade" was
able to quicken the pulse of the
working and fighting world"
Twice he was offered baronet-

In 1884 Gladstone offered him a

about taking title, preferring his

HOUSEWIVES, TAKE NOTICE.
The Cost of Canning Fruit and Vege-
tables Greatly Increased.

tables Greatly Increased.
This is the time of year known to the
~housekeeper as canning time" Fruits
and vegetables are put up for future
use, and a strong pull is made on the
family e%xchequer to supply the sugar
and the glass or tin cans In which arti-
cles are preserved. 1t may be well,
therefore, to remind those interested
and if we include those who buy can
ned articles as well as those who them
selves do the canning this will COM
prise pretty nearly every one-that the
cost Of canned fruit and vegetables is
affected enormously by the tariff taxes
on sugar, tin and glass.
In the year ending June 80, 1907,
335,615,549 pounds of sugar were en-
tered for the payment of import duty.
In spite of protection to the G rails
ing industry in the United States, the
domestic production was less than %
per cent of the total amount consumed.
The average tariff tax on sugar was
65.49 per cent, yielding to the govern
ment a revenue of $6O,135,1S1.
But greater yet was the tax paid by
consumers of sugar to the refining in
terests known as the sugar trust. Little
refined sugar was imported, less than
fifteen one-hundredths of 1 per CEN of
the eyenue being obtained from that
source.
The trust gets it's revenue from con-
sumers by means Of "differentials" in
the sugar d1tiaa 70 vino ra6nod rro5on
much heavier than unrefned and en-
abling the trust to charge for refined
sugar much more than the cost of raw
sugar plus a reasonable charge for re-
filming. When the government gets
$6O,OOO,0O0 1t Is a safe estimate that
the trust gets about $75.00O,O0O through
the tariff. The people might save this
graft that goes to the trust by abolish
ing the d~ifferentials. They could also
reduce the duties on raw sugar with
out serious injury to the sugar produc-
ing localities. The reduced price would
largely increase the consumption OF
sugar in the United States and so
might not result in any loss of revenue
to the government.
Oidoo JdIo SulidDle lOT canning IrulC
were in 1907 taxed at rates of duty
from 40 to so per cent. Tin plates
from which cans are made were taxed
at an average rate of 1851 per cent,
while manufactured cans bore a duty
of 45 per cent. These oppressive taxes
on the materials used by the housewife
at canning time add much to the cost
of the canned product. They also add
to the cost of operating canning fac.
tories and in many places prevent the
establishment of such factories. Farm
ers frequently let their fruit and vege-
tables go to waste because there is no
factory to which they can be taken or
because, with high prices for sugar
and cans. they cannot be canned at a
profit. With canning materials un-
taxed and with the better market for
produce that would follow the starting
of numerous factories, many a farm
now worth but $40 or SIS per acre
might be worth $40 or S25.

The Disappearing Shad.

Shad, that delight of the gourmet,
is doomed to meet the fate which has
overtaken the dodo and the icthyo-
saurus. From every fishing ground
ZONES the same tale Of small catches,
dwindling With each succeeding year.
From the rivers of Florida to the
rocky coast of Maine the greed of man
has combined with lax laws and I'M
scrupulous and shortsighted fishermen
to destroy one of the greatest sources
of cheap food the world has known.
If the slaughter is permitted to con-
tinue for many years as it has during
the decade or SO past, the time is not
far off when that ~gastronomic dream
known as planked shad will be re-
served exclusively for the tables OF
millionaires.
The repeated warnings of the ex-
perts of the United States fish commits
sion apparently have had little practi.
cal effect. The real remedy is be-
yond their jurisdiction; it rests with
the States, VIGOROUSLY slow to act
when great industries are to be curbed
and regulated. 1t is a problem in con
servation that demands immediate at
IGNITION, particularly in view of the
fact that practically all food products
have doubled in cost to the consumer
within the past few years. 1t is a
question in which cities and towns
within the Potomac basin are greatly
Interested.
When Capt. John Smith made his
historic voyage up the Potomac he
found the river near Great Falls
packed from bank to bank with a
squirming mass of shad and herring.
Perhaps his vivid Imagination celored
the story somewhat, but in the MAIN
1T was a condition viii ii prevailed up
to not SO many years ago. Then the
increasing demand spurred the fisher
men on to new devices for the cap
ture OF the shad, and to-day, at every
inlet, the shad on its way to the
spawning grounds runs the gauntlet
of miles and miles of nets and traps.
In the past fisherman were content to
catch shad in fresh water, but now the
nets and Seines stretch out into the
sea itself, and it is a particularly
lucky sllad that succeeds in reaching
fresh water.
When the eggs of the sllad come in
contact with salt water they are kill.
ed. That is the reason that the gov
eminent shad h~atcheries are located
near fresh water, where the roe shad.
when caught, are stripped of their
eggs. Some years ago the Potomac
~hatcheries saved more than twelve
millions of eggs in a season, which
were used to restock the depleted
rivers, but now when the bulk of the
shad are caught in salt OF brackish
water the number of eggs saved is
very small. 1t is a situation which
threatens the extinction of a great
food supply for the people of the At
lantic s%eaboard, and remedial meas.
ures should be taken at once.-WAsH-
