In this column last week l suggest
ed that a large discretion ought to
be given the commissioner Of game
and fisheries. An interested sports
man, discussing that matter with me
day or two later suggested that
the small streams of the State, in
which trout never grow to any con-
siderable size, should be perman-
emily closed to fishing. There are
plenty of streams, he says, and every
fisherman knows this to be true,
where a trout is seldom caught more
than four inches in length, and
where, therefore, none can be legally
taken, so there is no advantage in
keeping those streams open. If per-
manently closed they could be stock
ed regularly from year to year. and

er this lace blouse are crossed braces
of colored ribbon, toile de Jouy, or

touch of underlined color that makes
the dress attractive.
The sleeves are of the transparent

white satin, is draped around the
shoulders and falls in long ends from
the arms, tightly held across the back

Satin scarfs are worn a great deal

The Chatting Dish.

Bachelor girls and those who are
obliged to live in one or two rooms
and find it to their advantage to at
times resort to a little light house
keeping, should have chatting dish
and small tea kettle. After filling
the alcohol lamp. light it and put or
the tea kettle. When boiling fill the
lower part of he chatting dish, set the
upper part OF and proceed.
There is small folding alcohol
stove that can be bought for a quar-
| ter, and others just as cheap that can
be kept for boiling water and making
the tea or coffee while the chatting
dish is cooking the main portion of
the meal
The chatting dish is peculiarly suit
| able for informal meals, and SO far
as possible the alcohol cooking is
| done after the guests are seated at
the table. The short delay in the
preparation of the dish may be util-
lied for genial conversation. All in
gradients should be at one side of the
dish on a small tray in readiness for
immediate use-condiments, -four,
ETC., measured meat diced and eggs
beaten. Oftentimes two or more in
gradients can be placed in the same
receptacle and if the bowls and dishes
are proportional to the amount of
materials they will not be deemed
out of place. They of course, should
be removed as soon as used.
There are many ways of arranging
the Accomplishments of chatting dish
gracefully. For instance, the butter
may be made into balls, each ball
representing a teaspoonful or an
ounce. These should be arranged
on pretty dish at the right. If cream
is to be used, measure it and put in
little pitcher on the left. Bottles
| containing sauces and catsups should
also be placed on the left, as well as
large materials, such as lobster, etc.
This saves much time and confusion.
Be sure to see that the lamp is filed,
extra alcohol near and matches at
hand before being seated.
When receipt calls for butter and
flour, rub the mtogeher and put them
in a pretty dish before serving time.
If butter is to be Drowned, put it in
the chafing dish first, then have the
-four in pretty bowl, to be added
later. Use for stirring a long-handl-
ed polished wooden spoon. This will
enable you to work easily and quiet
ly. If the upper pan on your chatting
dish is of light metal you will need
to use hot water pan, but of heavy
metal, it will not be necessary.
Originally, the chafing dish was
only called into service to prepare
delicate and dainty dishes, but many
tired housewives have used the cha
fling dish with great success in pre-
pairing more substantial dishes fol-
their own families. Exchange.

for all men the blessing of humility,
that low, sweet root from which all
heavenly virtues shoot" There are
various interpretations of lowliness
translated to suit the will of the in

powers that be, the dispirited acquies-

oppressor, the sullen obedience of the

Not all the small streams ought to
be colsed, if such apolicy were to be
undertaken. There are good sized trout
to be had in some of the smaller
streams. This would have to be left
to the discretion of the commissioner,
but the Legislature ought to give him
authority to close them permanently,
so that he could enter upon a Me-
matte policy.

no relation to the voluntary and joy
full meekness of the spirit to which
Moore referred. Many must needs
be reminded that humility in an in
dividual does not necessarily entail
lack of will power or unwillingness
to assert himself. THE humble shall
rule" says an old hymn and it is the
man of peace to whom we look up
for advice and encouragement after
the smoke of battle has cleared away
and the critics have carped their
loudest and the arrogant boasted their
proudest.
Many a worthy man has followed
an unworthy master but the disciple
of humility may point proudly and
with justification of his pride to the
Nazarene. The humble man lacks
not strength of opinion, or power to
decide for himself. His enemies are
| apt to misjudge his influence and un-
! derestimate his value because of the
very quietness with which he goes
about his duties. He has laid his
| hand upon the feverish brow and
gone his way before the sufferer is
aware what agency brought relief
He has broken his bread with the
poor with such charm of spirit that
the poor have numbered him one of
! them and have taken of his bounty
gladly. While other men talk, he lays
lbs plans, while other nen sleep, he
carries out his tasks and he talks not
of himself. The remark of the fas-
tidious young woman obliged to move
into a less fashionable community
than she formerly resided in, that Il
| consider no one on the street worthy
of my acquaintance" would be strange
to him. He considers himself bet
ter than no one and not so good as
many others. He does not fear con-
| tamination or corruption when he
mingles freely with the poor and
squalid and sinful and his is always
an upward pull He finds worth in
the most hardened, good in the least

tor alive in many and many a soul

tice him in the heat of debate, in the
strife of argument, in the front of
the ranks who strive to be numbered
among those present." but he is al
| ways on hand when he is needed and
his response is willing. and glad
Scorn he has for habitual crime
scorn for hardened wrong doing but
it is no greater than the scorI he
holds in his heart for the very good
people who are too good to help their
fellows and too busy to serve the
Christian duty which is demanded of
the mby right. His very coming into
the room strengthens in the man of
least faith the conviction that there is
d God somewhere and that all will
come right and so his life is ben
ediction.
Humility does not criticise, does
not consider her own judgment as
superior to that of others. Humility
knows she has no business to know
anything but the image of mans
! Father in all men and women. There.
fore her owner does not make a re-
atty of any popularity whatever OF
any mortal"
Blessed be humility in all men and

This matter of disposing of refuse
has been a troublesome one in many
industries, and in some of them to-
day the by-products obtained from
what was formerly refuse are as val
liable as the principal product. Coal

purposes, while it is claimed that the
by-products secured in refining pc

ing and leave the finished product

1t is encouraging that not all the
sage admonition of this column is
wasted. In accordance with sug-
gestion made some time ago, the dam
at the mouth of the North Branch
has been raised and enough water
is held back to cover the bed of the
stream. The branch does not pre-
sent an attractive appearance. The
sewage discharged into it and the
rubbish floating on its surface makes
it look more like a cess pool, but
that cannot well be avoided. The
raising of the water ought to prevent
it from being a menace to health and
that is of more importance than its
appearance.
