Meehan Urges New Plan to Breed Fish
Say Private Pondi May Be Used By the
Slate.
Fish Commissioner Median is
formulating a plan, outlined in his
recent annual report, which, he be
lieves, will add largely to the out
put of useful fishes and without any
cost to the State. The plan in brief
is to make the artificial ponds, pri
vately owned, auxiliary breeding
p;nds whenever the owners signify
& willingness in writing to have
them so used.
For more than a year the Com
missioner has been receiving num
erous letters from owners of ponds
of this character in which was ex
pressed a desire to obtain fish for
them, and in most cases offering to
pay for fry. Under the existing
laws owners of private waters can
not obtain fish from the State.
An interesting feature of most of
the letters was that the fish inquir-'
cu iijuui nuc nut guiuuau, auv.u ua
were the fad a few years ago, but
for species like black bass, pickerel,
vellow perch, sunfish and even cat
fish. The letters almost uniformly
indicated a warm interest in the
subject and it was these letters
which gave the Commissioner the
idea that these ponds might be uti
lized for the benefit of the State
and without any cost, excepting to
stock fish. As an experiment he
took two ponds owned by Bromley !
Wharton, who was private secre
tary to Governor Pennypacker.
In one pond was placed black
bass and in the other blue gill sun
fisb. From the black bass were
hatched several thousand fry, which
were planted in the Neshaminy
Creek, excepting a few retained tor
breeding purposes. From the sun-
fish there were also produced a large
quantity of young, a: d these are '
being held in the pond until spring
to ascertain how they will carry
over the winter.
have the owners engage themselves
to permit the ponds to oe used as
above indicated, and the State then
to stock the ponds with a suitable
species ot fish, and wl en they
.spawn to take about 75 rxr cent, of
the young for planting in public
waters. When the young left in
the j onds have reached mature age
it is proposed to permit the owner
of the pond us compensation to
catch and dispose of the old fish,
which would be of no further use
to the department.
A hint of this plan having be
come known several men have al
ready offered to place their ponds
.it the disposal of the State for
breeding purposes.
To Insist on Luzerne Division.
Haileton People Determined to Have a New
County.
Despite the fact that certain sec
tions of Luzerne are opposed to the
division of the county, Hazletoa
people are not in the least dismay
ed, and at a meeting recently a de
finite plan of procedure was an
nounced. Every business man and
:itizen is interested in the move
nent and the claims for a division
vill be ptesented to the Legislature
io a forcible manner. The pro
jectors contend that the county is
entirely too large for the present
regime of officials to give the at-
svntion it needs.
It is known by government Ag
ues that bacon, pork, fresh pork,
.lour and corn meal advanced in
riees in the last ten years about
jo per cent. These are the articles
.elected by the Bureau of Labor as
he staple of a workingman's bill of
are, and the 40 per cent, advance
is the average for the whole
country. In connection with this
a curious fa;t is that the prices of
commodities average about the
same all over the country. Meat is
the same price in Kansas City as it
is in Philadelphia. Sugar is cheap
er in Seneca than in Louisana
where the cane grows. Oranges
cost as much in Los Angeles, where
tbey are grown, as in Pennsylvania
where an orange tree is a novelty.
The uniformit-- of the price scale
on all food products all over the
United States lends color to the
charge that there is a strict agree
ment among the corporations which
handle them. The cost of com
modities is the highest ance Feb

subject the trade authority says
mat me rise m prices is "fairly

V.TCLIi DRESSED WOMAN.
She is Generally Successful in any
t'ndertnklnK.
The woman who dresses well, In
conformity with her age, her work,
and her position In society, choos
ing neither extreme of the prevail
ing modes, but striking a happy me
dium, is the woman who has brains
i.nd uses them to make a good se
lection from the fashions of the day.
And there is no doubt of the truth
of this statement, for it 1b the well-
groomed, suitably gowned woman
who attains success, whether in
business or social life.
The well dressed woman has
learned an essential fact that con
fidence is born of good clothes: and
therefore, with genuine brain power,
reasons the necessity ot making the
most of all her good point.
By doing this she engenders the
feeling that her dress adds to her
appearance, she knows that it is
finished in every detail, and, thus
assured, her business assumes first
Importance, and success is gained
by the forgetfulness of self.
The woman orator, the actress,
l he singer, the musician, all under
stand "the philosophy of clothes"
as a powerful adjunct to their per
sonality. And this personality is to
them of as paramount importance as
their own individual gifts.
Then, again, take the majority of
the well known women of political,
literary, social, and philanthropic
Importance. There is no doubt
Thatever of their mental powers, and
none as to their exquisite taste in
personal dress.
The same rule may be applied to
a thouand other more or less promi
nent people we meet in everyday
life.
A woman's influence, too, for
good may be boundless by a happy
combination of Intellectual strength,
sympathy, and tasteful dress.

KMimOIDKltY NOTES.
Here is an idea for utilizing your
old blankets after they have become
thin and unsightly from long use.
Make them into a quilt by putting
two together and covering them
with sateen. Button down the
s.itsen here and there to keep all to
gether and finish off the quilt with a
ft ill of Bateen.
In the matinee, as in all the lin
gerie realm this season, hand em
broidery plays an important role,
and Valenciennes lace is usually
combined with this embroidery,
while little hand tucks, shlrriu,
cordlngs, etc., run riot.
Dlack lace gowns should bo niadj

ab'e this year and when one can
follow so sensible a fad it is by all
Cleans a rood plan to do so.
In home dressmaking the lonj
seams are often difficult to get quita
right. As an aid in senmins pieces
lor the skirts of dresses, cloaks, etc.,
adopt the following plan: Place one
piec-s of the material on a smooth
deal table and the other above it.
bniooth lightly into place and at one
end of the seam pin a tape measure
to the stuff and through into the
wood. Draw this down to the
other end of the seam and .again
knock in a pin. Then with long
thread tack by the seaming and use
these stitches guiding lines.
The MnrrliigPiiMe Age.
It is rather difficult to fix arbi
trarily the best age for marrying,
and yet this is what a fair corre
spondent asks US to do. "Ia a artrl
an old maid necessarily at thirty?"
She wants to know, and Is not eigh
teen too young for marrying?" ,
A generation ago these Questions
might have been answered nromnt-
ly and positively. Then a girl was
considered a "sDlnster" at thritv.
and eighteen was not considered far
from the average age for marrying.
10-aay neither the girls nor the
parents seem to consider matrimony
the end and aim of earthly exist
ence. There are no "old maids"
any more. The opinion appears to
prevail that woman may reigu sln-
Eie, witn honor, just as well as man.
The explanation for this changed
condition is. of course, to h found

he will be sorry he lost the

A Scottish one: "The next best

The German: "There are only
two good women in the world one

The Spanish rhyme has It:
"Were a woman as little as she ia

NOVELTY IN WRITING T A ISLE.
Compartment for Taper and Pencils
Under the Top.
A Chicago man has devised an ex
ceedingly useful combination writ
ing desk and table, an illustration of
which Is shown below. Although at
all times convenient, individual
writing desks are not used to i.ny
great extent at the present time The
ordinary table usually serves the
purpose, paper and pencils being
placed in a nearby drawer. How
much more useful the table shown
here would be. This table has an
open top, fitting into which is the
triangular drawer. The latter is dl-
Tuble and Writing Dealt,
vldcd into small compartments for
holding pens, pencils paper and
other writing accessoriea. When not
used as a writing desk, the drawer Is
lowered and the top of the table
pushed back in guide ways, com
pletely hiding the drawer from view.
The table can then be used as the
ordinary small table for reading, etc.
Baby Must Sleep Alone.
More than three-quarters of a
young baby's life is spent in sleep,
aud upon the restfulness of it de
pends much of the child's future
strength, says the New York
Telegram. This being the case,
It Is certainly Important that tho
Bleep should be the right kind. Ono
ot the errors of young mothers is to
believe that if a baby sleeps It la
surely resting. This is far from be
ing the case, for if the crib is not
comfortable and tho ventilation as It
should be slumber does not do for
the child what it should.
One of the most Important of all
things is that a baby should sleep
alone. I know this seems like a cold
blooded edict, and to many mothers
a senseless one until they understand
the reason.
First and foremost, there is al
ways danger of a baby's bolus
smothered when in the bed at night
with another person. As a matter ot
fact, the death rate among Infants
from suffocation in this way is by no
means Bmall.
It is a well known fact that whea
two persons sleep together the
Btronger absorbs the vitality of the
weaker, and that is what you can
not help doing to your baby. It can
not be as strong and lusty a child an
it will be without this drain upon It
constitution.
Rain and Watering-Pot.
Many persons must have noticed
that the most delicate sprinkling of
lawns and flower-beds falls to impart
to the grass and plants a vital stimu
lus equal to that which comes from a
good shower cf rain. The reason ia
because rain, falling from a great
holsht through the air. brings with it
a considerable quantity of carbonic
acid gas, of nitrogenous particles, and
of other elements nutritious to plants
which It has wanhed out of the atmos
phere. So a sprlnklor used from the
top of a tall building mitiht be elljh'.ly
more effective than when employed ct
the surface of the ground.
