Thirty-seven thousand brook trou! and one thousand rainbow trout left Camden Station last night in charge of Fish Commissioner A. F. George, who will distribute them throughout Gar- rett county. It was the first consign- ment in a campaign designed to restore the waters of Maryland with choice fish. Both species of trout that left last night were about an inch and a-quarter in length. They occupied large milk cans, and were in excellent condition. From now on shipments of these fish will be made to various sections of the state, especially to the streams of Western Maryland, which are naturally adapted to the successful cultivation of trout. The rainbow trout were the first hatched here, and their success will be watched with much interest. There are now at the hatcheries at Druid Hill Park nearly 500,000 trout, which will be distributed. Of this number 400,000 are brook and 100,000 rainbow. The { hatching of fish has been given great | stimulus in the last year. New interest | efforts are being made at the Druid { Hill Park hatcheries to break all rec- | ore during the present year. In ad- | dition to the trout, it is planned to | hatch 5,000,000 shad, 1,000,000 white and | ysllow perch and a quantity of bass. | It will be the first attempt to hatch bass | here. The success in the new venture | of hatching rainbow trout has been so | flattering as to make bright the bass prospect. { The plans for the bass are creating | much interest among members of the | Fish Commission. The Potomac river | and its branches are the best natural bass streams in the country. It is be- | lieved that artificial propagation - will | cause these choice fish to greatly in- | crease in these streams. The black | bass is one of the finest of food and | game fishes. A large bass deposits | | from 20,000 to 30,000 eggs, and these are | carefully guarded by the parent fishes, who take turns in watching them, and | will fiercely assail any intruder. | | | Another plan of the commission is to { propagate lake trout, 20,000 of which | have been deposited in Lake Brown. Heretofore the species of fish chiefly propagated at the Druid Hill hatcheries was brook trout. The hatching of these | will not only be increased but the ef- forts of Mr. George will be bended to- ward the cultivation of new species. The scarcity of perch in nearby streams has opened an inviting field for his en- | deavors while anglers everywhere are | interested in his work, with the rain- bow and lake trout and the prospect for bass. Messrs. James C. Tawes, of Somerset county, and John E. Gnagey, of Garrett, the state fish commissioners,have point- ed out the necessity for the establish- ment of a station in Western Maryland. Because of the lack of such a place, spawn for trout must be purchased in Rhode Island. The streams of Western Maryland are so peculiarly adapted to the growth of the species of trout, that the demand is becoming greater each year. And the need for a place in that section of the state for the secwring of spawn is becoming steadily greater. The propagation of German carp has been discontinued, as it was found to be a mistake. and now all efforts will be given to the native species. As yet, this season the trout is about all that is hatched. This is a busy season at the Druid Hill hatcheries. Work with shad, perch and bass will soon be under full headway, while the careful distri- bution of trout demands much atten- tion. Same Pay for EverySody. An aged (Georgian negro, Nathan by name, is employed by a gentleman prominent in State politics. That Nothan also had an eye to political fa- vors is shown by the following conversa- tion whieh recently took place between him and his employer: “Marse Jim,” said Nathan, “is you gwine in dis yere race for Governor?” “IHaven’t thought about it.” “Weli, ef yer does run, an’ gits elect- ed, will you give me a job?” egulations and dircip ne kind and another, which are exceedingly galling. Among other things, the husband of an imperial princess in Turkey is pre- cluded from having any other wife, or even favorite, and when the mother-in- law of the late Khedive Tewfik of Egypt, who was a Turkish princess, found that her husband had become infatuated by the beauty of one of her harerh women, she first of all presented him with the girl’s head upon a gold salver, and then caused him to be strangled by her eunuchs, marrying a fortnight later another Turkish general, who became the father of the present Khedeviah, or Vicerine mother. -- Keep A Goin!

If those who whine would whistle And those who languish lnugh, The rose would rout the thistle, The grain outrun the chaff. If hearts were only jolly, If grieving were forgot And tears and melancholy Were things that now are not, Then love would kneel to duty, And all the world would seem A bridal bower of beauty, A dream within a dream. If men would cease to worry And women cease to sigh And all be glad to bury Whatever has to die, If neighbor spake to neighbor As love demands of all, The rust would eat the saber, The spear stay on the wall. Then every day would glisten, And every eye would shine, And God would pause to listen, And life would be divine. — Washington Times. And Now He’s Dead.

Pine township, Clearfield county. is within sight of the Court house. With- in the borders of this township there is not a church, school, saloon, store, a two-story house, a minister, justice, school teacher, doctor, lawyer, carpen- ter, or tradesman of any kind. There is not a single farmhouse, blacksmith shop, post-office, or, in fact, any busi- ness place aside from “Big Spring.” Since Pine township was erected not one resident thereof has ever figured in a criminal action; none has ever held office, and none have eversat ona jury. Pine is rich in natural resources; its Lidden wealth cannot be estimated, and its mountain scenery cannot be equaled in the State, to say nothing of its rat- tlesnakes and huckleberries. Checks Got Mixed. Tid- Bits. At the close of the “baby show” which had been held in the public hall of a country town an exhibitor went to claim her cherub. On a squalling lump of humanity being handed to her by the smiling check-taker, she gave one glance at the infant’s face and then ex- claimed, in an agonized tone of voice: “Good gracious, man, this is not my i baby!” “Very one I have left. You see, somehow or other the checks got mixed. How- ever,” he added, by way of an apology, “it shan’t occur again.” —— A Progressive Newspaper.
