AS the result OF a recent decision
in the House of Lords the English
people have awakened to the fact
that they have no fishing rights in
the fresh water of their country. The
situation has raised a storm of pro-
test that is expected to result in
remedial action by the present gov
eminent.
The decision was made as the re-
suit of appeals in cases concerning
the use of the waters OF the River
Wye and Tough Neagh.
The right" which the Wye fisher
men believed they held was given t.
the warden in some early day, and no
Riparian owner had ever disputed it
or claimed the right to exclusive fish
ing. Now the supreme court of the
land has declared that the right does
not exist and the decision is so sweep
ing that it covers all of the streams
and lakes OF the United Kingdom.

"SILVER SPOON" BEN BUTLER
Because Mme. Hatch Would Not Take
Oath Of Allegiance Her silVer~are
Was ConfiSeated.

A great mystery has existed for
many years over the way the late Gen.
Benjamin F. Butler secured the name
Of Silver Spoon" Butler. The charge
has been spread broadcast that when
General Butler was in command at
New Orleans during the Civil war he
confiscated the silverware OF a resi-
dent Of that city, and. indeed, the car
toonists often pictured him walking
about with silver spoons sticking out
OF his pockets, especially during the
generals memorable political cam
paigns. But the suggestions always
have lacked specifications. | was mus

The regiment was shipped under
sealed orders and landed at Ship
island. The regiment was under the
command Of General Butler, and led
from the Gulf Of Mexico up the Mis-
sissippl river by Admiral Farragut's
fleet, and was engaged in hard fight
ing at Forts Jackson and st. Phillip.

was very warm and decided to stop
at Nine. Hatch's and get some saddle
horses. She loaned us the horses, and
when we returned them she would
accept no pay. She spread the table
and got US something to eat. She did
such kindness to many Union sol.
diers, and nursed some who were sick
in her own home.
General Butler passed decree that
all persons of eighteen years of age
should come to his headquarters and
take the oath Of allegiance to the
United States. When it came the turn
of Nine. Hatch, she told him she was
Nine. Hatch, and absolutely refused
to take the oath, declaring she would
die first. General Butler then de,
clared that her silverware should be
confiscated. He ordered Major Strong,
his chief of staff, to see that the order
was carried out. The major went to
the mansion Of Nine. Hatch and, in
response to his command, she brought
out her silver plate and large guam
tity Of silver spoons. He left the rest
and took the spoons

Accidents VIII Hannen.

General Garfield had bad egg
thrown at him while speaking at Ches-
tertown-the same place where. he
said, few weeks since he was face
to face with the companions of the
miscreant on the field of battle. They
carried more dangerous weapons, =
said the general, "but as did not run
there, 1t is not probable that | shall
run now; and as fought then, II nee
essary, can fight now" The mob
were intensely gratifed by this
plucky speech, and proceeded to In
fiict summary Justice upon the egg
thrower, which they did, unfortunate
ly, by administering a tremendous
beating to the wrong man! If a true
patriot, however, he doubtlessly for
gave the accident, and was willing
thus to suffer vicariously in SO GOOD
. cause.

A Few Simple Salads.

= During the early spring months
there is no salad more simple In prep
aration or more generally satisfactory
than the lettuce and cress.
For variety. make nest of cress
and in it place few carefully divided
sections of grape fruit. Serve with
French dressing made by using ta-
blespoonful of vinegar and three of
olive oil; teaspoonful of salt and a
few dashes Of red pepper
A few peanuts rolled with a rolling
pin and then sprinkled over crisp
fresh lettuce and served with French
dressing makes fine salad.
Young green onions sliced with
fresh radishes on lettuce with boiled
dressing served on cress or lettuce is
another good spring salad.
Cream Cheese Salad.
Season cream cheese with salt, pep
per and chopped chives, mold In balls
with butter paddles; arrange two or
three in a nest of blanched lettuce, or
II the lettuce is not good, cut 1t with
the shears or a sharp knife into
shreds. Serve with French dressing.
Stuffed Tomato Salad.
Firm, raw tomatoes may be hol-
lowed out and stuffed with variety
of edibles, Finely diced meat, well
marinated with oil dressing or sea-
sonings, one or more cooked vegeta-
bles; raw cucumbers cut in dice and
mixed with onion, water cress and
celery, as well as other green's and
fruits, which will accord with the
taste,
Summer Salad.

bed the two-year-old roots are the
most satisfactory to buy, as the shoots
are ready to use the following year.
Make a trench about eight inches
deep, put in some good rich fertilizer
and cover with a little dirt. Allow
the soil to become warm, and then
set out the roots about a foot apart.
IL the fall cover with a layer of fer
tilizer at least six inches deep, and
In the spring this is forked into the
soil. The difference between large
and small asparagus Is In the amount
Of fertilizer used. A bed Of asparagus
makes a nice hedge between lots in
the city. An asparagus bed should not
be moved for years. but It must be cul-
tivated.
Salt should be used generously in
the spring, as 1t is a marine plant and
needs salt to nourish 1t. The water
from the Ice cream freezer may be
used with good effect II sprinkled on
to the asparagus bed.
During the first year the bed will
need cultivation several times; after
that only in the spring before the
shoots start and in the fall thick
coat Of fertilizer.
A hundred roots will produce
enough asparagus to supply family
of six with all the asparagus needed.
When cooking the young, tender
stalks. the best method is to tie them
in bunches and stand the punches in
the boiling water The steam is suf'
ficient to cook the tender tips and the
coarser stalk ends have the more Sc
we're heat to soften them.
Appropriate sauces to serve with
asparagus is drawn butter sauce,
white sauce or hollandaise sauce.
If any of the vegetable is left, the
sauce may be washed off and the as
paragus may then be added to a salad
with French dressing.
The tough ends may be used in
soup.
Asparagus is medicinal in. It's prop
critics, especially valuable as liver
and kidney remedy.
