Lobster Supply Will Be Large.

Fish Commissioner Bowers says
that the supply of Holsters, of the
marine variety, is to be maintained.
The commission has just finished
Matching out 170,000,000 lobster
eggs, and the young fry are being
distributed at the rate of three to five
million a day. They are being de-
posted in the waters of the Maine
coast.
II see no reason for the apprehen-
sion which exists" said Commission
er Bowers, regarding the possibility
Of the exhaustion of the lobster sup
ply. More Holsters were caught last
year than in any season for the last
twenty years. I take no stock in the
scare stories that the lobster is to
meet the fate OF the terrapin. -

Milk Soup.

Six potatoes, one white turnip, n
parsnip, two onions, stalk of celery,
one tablespoonful of butter, n ia
blespoonful -four, one teaspoonful su-
gar, two cupfuls milk, two quarts OF
water, salt and pepper to taste.
Put the butter into a saucepan and
let 1t melt, but it must not get brown.
Put in the cut vegetables, and, stir
them until they are hot. Now put IN
the sugar, pour on the water, and let
all boil for one and a half hours. .
Dissolve the -four in a little cold
milk, add pepper and salt, and stir 1t
in. Let it boil for ten minutes to
cook the flour.
Boil the milk separately, and add
it last of all. Taste if it Is sailed
enough, and serve hot.
It Is a good plan to have dishes
properly seasoned before they are
sent to table. The first mouthful of
anything new is enough to create
prejudice If 1t does not exactly suit
the palate.-New York Press.

tablespoonful of butter and in this
place some slices Of carrot. Turn
these about in the butter and add tur-
nip cut in dice or slices, potatoes
sliced, also one onion cut up. Season

When the water reaches boiling
point add two teaspoonfuls of curry
powder and a tablespoonful Of flour
moistened with cold water.
Stir 1t again till it reaches boiling
point and allow it to simmer gently
till the vegetables are perfectly ten
der.
If green peas are in season they
may be added, or cooked beans make
a nice addition, also cold boiled rice
may be added to the curry. - New

APPELLANT.

Apples along the highway strewn,
And morning opening all her doors;
The cawing rock, the distant train,
The valley with its misty floors;
The hillside hung with woods and dreams,
Soft CLEANS of gossamer and dew,
From cockcrow to the rising moon
The rainbowed road for me n you,
Along the highway all the day
The wagons filled with apples go,
And golden pumpkins and ripe corn,
And all the ruddy overflow.
From autumn's apron, as she goes
About her orchards and her fields,
And gathers into stack and barn
The treasure that the summer yields.
A singing heart, a laughing road,
With Salutations all the way
The gossip dog, the hidden bird,
The pig that grunts a gruf good-day;
The apple-ladder in the trees,
A friendly voice amid the boughs,
The farmer driving home his team,
The ducks, the geese, the uddered cows;
The silver babble of the creek,
The Acknowledgements days end,
With murmur of the village street.
A called goodnight, an unseen friend.
Richard lie Gallienne, in The Oelineator.

The Water Bite.

He was six years old and had nev-
er gazed into the mystic lens of a
microscope. Several slides contain
ing animalcula had been displayed to
his astonished vision. He was too
amazed to make any comment until
he came to one slide that seemed
more wriggly than any Of the others.
It was merely a drop of water.
The little fellow gazed at it a long
time, with all its nimble particles Of
animal life, and finally exclaimed to
his mother:
"Oh, mamma, 10Y I know what it
Is that bites you when you drink
sodawater!"-New York Times.

THE GERMAN CENSOR.
He Was a Terror to the Dra,natist
Hundred Ycars Ago.

He Was q Terror to the Dramatist .
Hundred Years Ago.
The way the censor worried the Ger.
man dramatists of a century or so ago
Is strikingly Illustrated by book on
the censorship III Germany published
by Dr. Robert Heindl ut Munich. The
German theater used to be terribly
moral. In 1905 the Viennesc censor
laid 1t down that an engaged couple
ought not to quit the stage separately,
but that they should be accompanied
by an official who should be under.
stood to be about to make immediate
arrangements for their marriage. Even
In 1S4S misalliances were prohibited
on the Viennese stage, for, as the cen
sor sagely observed. these misfortunes
will occur in real life, but they should
not be allowed in the theater.
At Stuttgart the "Iphigenia in Tau
ris" of Goethe was nearly prohibited
because the Greek dress allowed ths
actors bare legs to be seen. There
was long dispute over this point, bu'
at last the censor permitted the play
on condition that the actors wore vel
low tights.
Few would have imagined that the
Vicnnese censor was so carcful Of the
morals Of the population hundred
years ago, but DR. Heindl shows thar
not merely political allusions were cen
sored, but that the strictest decorum
of word and of thought was insisted
upon.
