At Work on Survey.

Interest IN railroad circles has been
revived in this section of the State by the
operations of corps of surveyors, said
to'be in the employ of the Western Mary.
land Railroad, who are engaged in max
ing surveys in the vicinity of Willamsport.
1t is understood that the survey is being
made for the proposed low-grade route
the Western Maryland desires to secure
from Williamsport to connect with the
main line at point near Westminster.
The surveyors have been at work in
and around Williamsport since the begin
ming of the week, but they decline to
state what they are working on or give
any information whatever The route
they are following is along the one sur
veyed about two wears ago. The survey,
It was stated at that time, was to secure a
low grade, and per cent. grade was
said to have been found. 1t is generally
understood that following the completion
OF the extension now being built by the
Western Maryland from Cumberland to
Connellsville, Pa, the company will begin
work on the low grade line mentioned.
This route cuts out the heavy mountain
grades between Hagerstown and Balti-
more, through Frederick county. an OBJ
stacle the Western Maryland has been
endeavorlng to overcome for years. Rail-
road men state that 1t is common knowl-
edge that the company has plans for the
new line ready, and that the construction
OF the road has been determined upon.

Maryland Prison.

The financial showing of the Maryland
prison is excellent. The total income
from the labor of prisoners and interest
on money in bank was $3.50 o46o.o6. The
expenses were $I24,3I7,22, leaving a net
profit OF $55.I5IS4 which went into the
treasury of the State. One of the most
excellent features of this model prison is
the practice Of paying the prisoners for
working overtime. Somany hours work
is required Of each one, and if they work
a longer time they are paid for the excess.
In this way some of them are supporting
or helping to support their families.
Those who are discharged nearly always
have sum of money to carry away with
them. AT the close of the last year the
warden had in bank S23,4o3. 81 to the
credit of the prisoners. The report of
the directors commends in high terms
John F. Wevler. the warden who de-
serves commendation, for he has made
the Marvland Pcniiel'ic- the model
penal institution Of the United States.-

The Touch Chicken.

There are several ways of transform
inc a venerable fowl into respectable
family piece de resistance. In fact, by
the following method such fowls have
been made as tender as spring chick
ems: Let the bird, after drawing, sea-
soning and stufhng, simmer until over
half done. Then place it in The oven
with a piece Of pork laid over its
breast. Pour the liquor Aycr ard
around the roast in the pan. Finish
the cooking in very hot oven, Dast-
ing frequently with the drlpplnss.
When ready to serve skim of any ST.
perhuous fat that may be in the pan
before preparing the gravy. The pork
prevents the fowl from becoming drE'
and if a small onion is also added II
will have more savory flavor The
simmering lessons its toughness. III
fact. slow simmering is just the thing
for any tough meat, but 1t should SIM
mer, not boil. Boiling Will toushen
the tenderest Of meat.
