BENITO JUAREZ.

. The first executive to give to Mexico a real republican form of government was Benito Juearez, who was born of Indian parents in Oaxaca no years ago today, March 21, 1906. Juarez first assumed the executive in 1858, but he was soon compelled to retire to Vera Cruz, where his government was recognized by the United States. In 1861 he returned to the capital, and was elected president for term of four years. Of all his predecessors not one had been a patriot for very long after attaining supreme power, and Juarez fell heir to all their con- sequences of their crimes and cupidity. he attempt of Napoleon III. to set up an empire in Mexico under the Aus trian Archduke Maxmilian was resist ed by Juarez and his followers through several bloody years. After the in vaders had been driven out Juarez was again elected president and he gave to Mexico it's first and almost it's only experience of republican govern ment. honestly and ably administered. The Indian leader was a fu1l-blooded Aztec, with all the virtues and few of the faults of his people. His untine1y death in 1872 was soon followed by the restoration of the old order of despotism and pi1lage.

Newfoundland Herring

It is Lent The usual varieties of fresh fish are very scarce because of poor weather, which has prevailed on the fishing banks for weeks now, cut ting down the catches of the fisher men, What fresh fish is offered for sale is rather high in price. There. is little sign of a change in these condi- tions' until the weather breaks.
 The housewife, during the period of scarcity this season, has drawn on the cold storage supply. Never has the drain on the cold storage supply been as heavy as this year, indicating that to the fact that cold storage fish is a cheap but excellent substitute for the fresh article, when prices are high.
 At present, there is but one variety of Nfsh in abundance at the Boston Fish pier, the chief wholesale market distributing point of the Atlantic coast. This variety is Newfoundland her ring.
 Herring generally is a very much unappreciated sea, food. In almost every volume written on the subject of foods in France, French chefs lament the fact that herring, in French known as t.hareng, : the sweetest of fish, is not properly appreciated The same condition exists in this country. The presence of many small bones, which makes it somewhat difficult to eat small herring, is the chief reason for this
 Of all herring, the Newfoundland herring is the king. It is a great deal larger than the herring caught in local waters, being as big as a good-sized mackerel. Consequently, the bones are larger and easier to remove. The flesh of this variety has the same taste, characteristic of it's tribe. a taste will known to epicurss.
 Each year, large shipments of her ring come to Boston, from which point the fish are distributed to con sumers throughout the country. This year, the shipments of Newfoundland herring have been larger than ever. and the market is well stocked and able to offer this variety at a low price: The fish, caught off the Grand Banks, are frozen as fast as they are caught, and in this condition are packed in large barrels. They reach Bostoon, therefore. in exactly the same condition as when they left the water.
 In the British provinces. they zoavA a. knack of serving NewfoundIand her ring almost boneless. The fish are friend in order to do this The di- rections given by an expert to fry Newfoundland herring and serve them "bonefess'' are as follows:
 E Take a herring and slit it length wise from head to tail, being careful not to entirely separate the two halves Wash out the fish thorougfaly roll in cornneal mixed with a little flour and fry in deep fat, salt pork drippings preferred.
 When cooked so that the flesh is soft, remove the fish and place it on a warm platter. Take a, bread knife and insert itx under the backbone at the tail Gently loosen the bone and it will be found that the small bones branching off from the backbone will be easily removed, leaving the her ring almost ttboneIess.''
