Pleads For Bay Shad.

Secretary of Commerce Redfield, in
transmitting to Congress the annual
report of the United States Commission
er of Fisheriers. makes a strong ap-
peal to the states of Maryland and
Virginia for joint uniform legislative
action to save the Chesapeake Bay
shad industry from destruction.
He; declares that unless the two
states take steps to conserve the shad
fisheries the Government shad hatch
cries in the Chesapeake Bay will be
moved to other communities where the
people will appreciate them.
While Secretary Redfeid did not
specially mention the Linthicum Fish
Conservation bill. in which the Balti-
more Congressman seeks to give the
Federal Government complete super
vision over the fisheries in the Chesa'
peake Bay. he intimates that the Fed
eral Government should do something
to save the shad, as the ultimate fate
O. this food fish. Secretery Redfeld's
report will strengthen the chances OF
Representative Linthicum getting de-
mite action on his bills at this session OF
Congress- 1t has been known that
Secretary Redfeld favors the measure
although he has given no public indorse
ment of them.

The Game of Wink.

The boys of the party are seated in
a circle of chairs. of which n chair
remains vacant. A girl stands be-
hind each chair, her hands on its back.
The girl behind the vacant chair Sc
lects a boy and literally gives him
a wink Thereupon he tries to get
from his chair to hers. His partner.
however Che girl standing behind
his chair. must be quick enough to
intercept the wink and place her hands
on his shoulders to restrain him. II
she Is successful the girl behind the
empty chair must try again and un-
til she has secured a partner. Then,
Of course there is another chair to be
filed in the same way.
1t is a strict rule that the hands OF
the girls must remain on the backs
Of the chairs except when restraining
a deserving partner. As all girls do
not wink with equal facility or grace
and no chance for practice is given,
you can count on roars of laughter
from this very simple game.

While New York city has not had
much SHOW this winter, there have
been several days when the hills in
Central park were covered with a
hard, Icy crust that made coasting a
delight. You may be assured that the
young folks of the great city who live
anywhere near that famous play
ground made the most of the oppor-
tunity provided by old King Boreas.
Sad to relate. a fatal accident occur
red on one of the hills i'll the park. A
little boy in e%ndeavoring to avoid an
other coaster slid into a tree and was
killed. Consting is not a dangerous
sport. but children are often careless
at play. and when a hill is long and
Icy 1t is not well for very little folks
to attempt to coast alone. The acct
dent. of course was a great shock to
the boys playmates. and perhaps most
of them needed the lesson it taught.

Queer Coal Chambers.

Chambers for the safe storage OF
coal are dug in the bottom of the Pan

there will be secure from enemies, and
a further advantage lies in the fact
that coal is less liable to ieteriorate

CANDLE MANY CENTURIES OLD
Inhabitants Of Arras Have Great
Faith in Sacred Relic Most Care
fully Guarded.

Devastated Arras possesses an an
cient church. Notre Dame des Ardents,
which remained uninjured despite the
recent terrific bombardment, and
which contains unique relic that is
nearly 1000 years old.
The relic is known as the molly
candle, 1t is guarded in a richly enam-
eled silver casket, made to the order
of Jean de Sasquepee, lord of Baudi-
mont and owner of Arras, and curl
Gus history is attached to it. 1t ap-
pears that in May, 1105, the Holy Vir-
gin appeared during the night to two
minstrelS.
A terrible plague depopulated Arras
at that time, and the Virgin-so goes
the legend-gave the two minstrels
candle, which they in turn gave to
Bishop Lambert of Arras and told
them that the hot wax of this candle
mixed with pure water would cure the
inhabitants of Arras of the dreadful
malady.
The remedy proved efficacious, and
grateful populace erected the monas-
terry of Ardents The candle has been
carefully guarded, and it is the irm
belief Of the inhabitants of Arras that
it frequently saved them from utter
destruction.
