This is No Joke.

The Jacksonville Metropolis thinks
Governor Gilchrist should appoint a
special day for prayers at which time
the men, women and children should
offer up petitions to God asking that
the legislature provide for better
schools and better roads for the state
To which The Journal heartily agrees.
Pensacola Journal.
Do you mean it will take thunder
bolt from heaven to get the people All
their representatives to give needed
aid?
Petitions to God might help trans
port some of our anti good school and
road brethren to the golden streets
where taxes are ne-more. but petitions
to the Legislature from the people, or
better still, men elected to do some
thing, would be more practical.
Prayers for such purely earthly good
are probably best answered through
the accompanying activity of men.
This is no joke-Orange County

 On vote being taken, the amend ment was lost lilo The resolution was then put, the chair declaring the motion lost by the same result lilo Alderman Primrose asked that the vote be taken again, but President Lavery ruled that the board had come to decision.
 Alderman King asked why the board mad not counted those not voting, among the affirmative. He stated that ac- cord1ng to Cushing's manual by which code the council meetings are govern ca, all not voting should be counted in the affirmative. President Lavery asked Alderman King to show him the rule. Alderman Primrose rose to appeal, but the chair overruled his appeal. Alderman MacFayden declar- gu lhdl lie was the one not young.

Never has session Of the Common Council been thrown into such a tur- moil as last evening when the alder men were called upon to settle such a trivial question as the establishment Of . building line. After many vote takings on the resolution, amendments and the ruling of the chair, by a vote of 12-11, the original resolution was lost

Later in the evening a major ity of the Streets and Sidewalks com mittee to which the petition was re- ferred reported favorably on the es tablishing of the line. Alderman Walk CT objected stating that it looked to him like hold up to shut MT. Wilson from his rights. He moved an amend inert that the report be referred beck to the committee for further action. Alderman Mahoney asked how many signcrs of the petition were over the line. and being informed that about half of the number, requested that the same privilege be granted MT. Wilson.
 Alderman Eugene I. Meyer stated that he was guided by the two alder men from the district, both of whom favored the establishment of the line. He had followed the wishes of the al- dermen in the Second district in re- gard to the South avenue trolley ex- tension and would follow the wishes

 Again is the Common Council con- fronted with the South avenue troll ley extension. After many warm hearings in which tempers were lost and every member had expressed it's say, and final decision was arrived at, route through South avenue di- rect to it's end, the Board last evening rescinded it's action and referred the resolution along with a communica- ton from Vice-President BuckIand of the New Haven road back to the Streets and Sidewalks committee. This action was taken on the recommenda- tion of Mayor Buckingham. The New Haven road refuses to go straight down South avenue, but is willing Iranistan to Atlantic street extension.
 The mayor sent a message to the council, which is as follows:
 To the Honorable Common Council
 of the City of Bridgeport:
 Gentlemen: At the last meeting of your honorable board a report from the committee on streets and side walks relative to the construction of a trolley road in South avenue was adopted. Since that meeting I have received letter from Vice President E. G. Buck1and of the Connecticut Go. dealing with this construction of trolley road in South avenue, which may perhaps tend to compli- cate the situation somewhat. I en- close this letter for your considera- ton and would recommend that your action in adopting the report of the committee on streets and sidewalks relative to said trolley construction be rescinded and that said report to- gether with the communication from Vice President Buckland be referred to the committee on streets and side- walks for further consideration.
 Respectfully submitted this 18th day of June, 1911.
 E. T. BUCKINGHAM,
 Mayor.
 Accompanying this message was the following resolution which was finally passed after a somewhat heated debate:
 Resolved: That the action of the common council in adopting the re- port of the committee on streets and relative to the construction of a trolley road in South avenue,

PUTTING the Owl to use.

There is a choice old recipe, in which
the owl figures, Ito make any one
that sleepeth answer to whatsoever
thou ask" given in "Physick For the
Poor" published in London in 1857.
It says that you are to 'take the heart
Of an owl and bis left leg and put
that upon the breast OF one that
sleepeth, and they shall reveal what
soever thou shalt ask them"
The Hindus, however, declare that
the flesh or blood Of an owl will
make a person insane who eats or
drinks 1t. On this account men who
are devoured by jealousy Of a rival or
hatred of an enemy come furtively to
the market and purchase an OWL In
silence they carry it home and secretly
prepare a decoction, which an accom-
pllce will put into the food or drink Of
the object Of their malignant designs.

Genuine sardines are the young Of
The pilchard. Their name comes from
the fact that they are most numerous
of the coast Of Sardinia. They swim
in the spring in shoals containing MIL
lions-6sh shaped shoals ten miles long
and half mile wide. The sardines are
netted and taken at once to the shore.
There they are washed, scraped and
sprinkled with salt. The salt Is soon
removed, the heads and gills cut OF
and there is another washing. Then,
on beds Of green brush, the fish are
dried in the sun. Next they are boiled
in olive oil till cooked thoroughly. The
packers-women always-take them
now aud pack them in the tin boxes
we all know, filling up each box with
boiling oil, fitting on the lid and max
ing the box air tight by soldering the
Joints together with a Jet Of hot steam.
Sardines are more or less perfect &C.
cording as they are prepared more or
less Immediately after their capture
and according as the oil they are pack
ed in Is more or less pure.
