COOKING FISH OUT OF DOORS
Recipe Producing a Delicious Result
Which Gould Not Be Surpassed
by Any Chef.

Clean the fish, but do not scale;
leave head, tail and fins intact, and
put a small strip Of bacon in each
of them. Dig a hole large enough
for the fish to lie in with several
inches to spare. Build a fire in it
and get a good, hot bed Of Goals.
Rake out half of them, cover the
remainder with an inch of grass,
cover with more grass, and pile the
rest of the hot Goals on top. Cover
the hole with a frying pan or any
other handy thing, as for instance a
fiat stone.
In thirty minutes they will be
cooked, and Delmonico himself
could not make them taste better.
They are partly fried and partly
steamed by the juices of the grass ;
the bacon fat has fried out and
permeated the flesh; the grass
Juice adds a peculiar and exceeding
ly pleasant flavor, and when taken
from the hole the grass which clings
to the fish can be easily pulled off
and all the scales and skin will come
with it.-Edward G. W. Ferguson.

o CAUSE OF STRIKE.

Coal strikes have sometimes been
threatened on curious grounds. In
1874 a woman was employed as a
messenger at one of the collieries
near 0swestry. England. AS she
commenced her days work very
early, she often met the miners on
their way to the pit, and as the men
considered it a bad omen to meet a
woman first thing in the morning,
trouble arose. By threats and per-
suasion they tried to get the offend
ing female to give up her job, but,
failing in this, they went in a body
to the manager and fatty refused
to 60 down until the woman had
been dismissed.

NOT MANY REACH 100 YEARS
Real Centenarians Are Few In Num-
per, Despite Claims Of Rela-
tives, Say Authorities.

C|entenarians seem to be very much
in evidence. Scarcely a week passes
without the announcement of the
death of some one who has reached,
exceeded, or was on the border of
five score years. 1t is claimed in
various health statistics that with
the increase of surgical skill and
knowledge, and the more careful at
tention to hygiene matters, count
less lives throughout the country are
prolonged which a decade ago would
inevitably have had to succumb; so
the extension Of this claim of the
recent progress of the healing art
to the very aged might possibly ac-
count for the great number who are
supposed to have now reached their
hundredth year. The authenticity
of the claims set up by the relations
of so-called centenarians may, how
ever, be doubted, and, in many in
stances, it would be almost impos-
sible to adduce anything approach
ing reasonable proof. The late Sir
George Cornewall Lewis attempted
to show that all reputed centenari-
ans fell short of a hundred years.
Many instances are recorded of per-
sons who have died between the
ages of 1877 and 1876, but there is
little doubt that their span Of life
has been greatly exaggerated.

This is a mere matter Of detail.
The truth is mighty and must
prevail. It is better that the
faults and frailties of Taft and
Roosevelt should be shown up
than that the Republicans should
beat the Democratic.
1t makes office attainable only
by the rich.
Well this is what the people
seem to want or they would not
insist upon a system which gives
the poor man no chance as a
candidate. Abraham Lincoln
never would have attained the
Presidency if he had had to
chase the nomination in a spec
ial train. He couldn't have had
the special train.
1t exposes all the weakness OF
the party leaders on one side to
the voters of the opposite party.
Could any mere Democrat pos

GREAT MEN OF SCIENCE.

In recording the death of Francis
Cation somewhat less than a year
ago, it was noted here that of the
great men of science who gave dis
tinction to the Victorian era only
three remained-Hooker, Wallace
and Lister. Hooker has since died
at the age of ninety-four years, and
on February II Lister died at the
age of eighty-four years. An Eng
fish journal recently compiled a list
of the ten greatest men of the world,
and Lister would perhaps have been
the name on which there would have
been the most general agreement.
Like Gallon and Hooker, Lister had
distinguished scientific ancestry, his
father having been a fellow of the
Royal society, who, among many
other services, gave US the existing
compound microscope, = Popular

What of Congress?

the presidential chair, there
has been thus far no mention Of
his probable relations with Con-
gress in the event of'his election,
This is one Of the first consid-
erations in respect Of executive
efficiency. The fathers of this
Republic linked the two depart
mentS of government in many
ways. The President holds the
veto power over legislation. The
Senate shares with him the
treaty-making power and holds
the power of confirmation or re-
lection of all important depart
mental appointments. The APP
preparation bills which fix the
amounts of money available for
the uses of the executive depart
ments must originate in the
House.
Mr.. Roosevelt'S election could
only come about by a fusion be-
tween his followers and the Greg
ulars." The Republicanism of
the resulting House Of Represen-
tatives would be a ring-streaked
and spotted affair. The So
called majority would be at
war with itself and a recalcitrant
element would block all legis-
lation.
The effect TINS would have on
Mr.. Roosevelt need be no matter
Of doubt, for we have all seen
Congress pulling one way and Mr.
Roosevelt the other, with the air
full of feathers and fur. The
Rough Riders second admins
tration ended in open war be-
tween the two departments of
the Government, a legislative
deadlock, an executive doing
things by a combination Of exc
cutive fiat and divine right that
he could not do under the law.
Let us take a much more pro
bable supposition. Let us sup
pose that Champ should be elect
ed President what would then b'
the relations between Congress
and the Executive?
The man in the White House
would in that case be the man
who, as Speaker Of the House.
has made a record unique in its
history for fairness and efficien-
cy. He has met the most diff
cult and delicate conditions sue
cessfully. He has held the
House together and expedited
legislation in an extra session
under the double heat off a
burning sun without and intense
partisan feeling within. He is
both loved and respected by the
representatives of both parties in
either branch of Congress.
AS President, Champ Clark
would have at his right hand
solid body of Legislators, the
united representatives of a unite(
party. Legislation and legisla-
tive cooperation with the Exc.
cutive would realize such eff

Francisco Railroad who has been on

According to Mr.. Yoakum; 'All ba-

country excusing themselves for not
being able to get the raw material fast
enough to fin orders promptly. Since

ODD METHODS OF PROTECTING
TREES.

In the country where fruit trees are
planted in quantities, it is often a seri-
Gus matter to protect the young trees
from the damage done by rabbits
eating the tender bark from the lower
part of the small trunks.
Many precautions are taken, such
as wrapping the trees in straw plac-
ing paper about the trunks or split
ting large cornstalks and using for
coverings.
Each of these precautions has its
disadvantages, and trees are often in
jured by the various methods of pro-
lection Mice take advantage of the
shelter provided and make nests or
eat the bark beneath the coverings,
and very often the wrappings create
an unnatural heat that is injurious
to the saplings. Insects of different
types also secrete themselves beneath
these coverings and often do great
damage.
One difficulty is that the protection
has to remain on too late in the spring
when the warm weather begins.
Poultry netting of a fine mesh Is
being used extensively, and 1t has been
pronounced very satisfactory; but 1t is
rather costly and requires time and
care to place 1t in position. Unless re-
moved 1t permits grass to grow up
inside, making a clump which is apt
to become the haunt of field mice.
The best method yet found, 1t is
said, and one that has been declared
the most satisfactory in every partic-
ular, is the liver treatment It con-

SITS in rubbing the trunks of the

sists in rubbing the trunks of the
young trees with beef liver up to and
a little beyond the point which the
rabbits can reach. The liver is cut
fine and the raw meat is rubbed on
the body of the tree quite vigorously,
especially round the bark on the low
er part of the body 1t seems that,
for some reason, the rabbits do not
like the smell of liver, and they leave
the trees alone.
Curiously enough, the application of
liver in late autumn will suffice for
the entire winter. The odor seems to
remain during the winter months, and
whenever the rabbit comes along In
search of a bit of bark it will leave
the fruit trees thus treated alone.
This Is much cheaper and easier
method than any of the others, and
no injurious results are reported at
all.
