HAD FISH BY THE T
Blowing Up of Wreck Stuns
Many Hundreds.
Coast Guard Cutter Yamacrnw De
stroys Menace to Navigation, and
Crew Have More Fish
Than They Need.
Savannnh, On. How the men of tho
United States coaBt guard cutter
Ynmacraw caught 8G3 pounds of fish,
ranging from ono to two pounders to
huge denizens of tho deep weighing
320 pounds, whllo blowing up tho
wreck of an abandoned schooner oft
tho coast of Florida several days ago,
was told very Interestingly by Lieu
tenant Alexander, who is temporarily
In command of tho cutter during tho
abaonco of Captain Henderson.
Tho Yamacrnw left Savannah on
Sunday, April 18, in respotiso to a
wlrelesH messago from a steamship)
which stated that tho topmasts of a
sunken schooner had been sighted
about 30 miles to tho eastward of tho
St. John's river entrance.
Tho cutter arrived nt tho sccno of
tho wreck at duybreak tho next morn
ing and immcdlntely sot to work to
blow up tho wreck, which wns a men
aco to navigation. A squad of men
was sent out In ono of tho cutter's
imall boats, and mines heavily charged
with guncotton woro lowered on each
of tho three topmasts which wero seen
protruding from tho surfuco of tho
wnter.
At tho first shot ono of tho masts
was demolished far below tho water
line, arid almost immediately the sur
face of tho water surrounding tho
wreck was thick with llsh of various
ilzos. Many of thorn woro badly
stunned, nnd another smnll boat was
lent out to gather them up. From tho
first shot 11 Bhappors weighing 23
pounds, flyo horso mackorol weighing
141 pounds and GG pounds of small
llsh woro taken Into tho second boat,
according to Lieutenant Alexander;
Tho charge lowored on tho second
rnnBt was then fired, and as tho blast
hurled tho demolished "stick" high
Into tho air another crop of stunned
llsh appeared on tho surface of tho
water.
Most of tho fish, Lieutenant Alex
ander said, seomed to bo badly
stunned. Others, ho said, seemed to
bo unhurt, but all of them Hopped
around on top of tho water, apparent
ly unnblo to go bolow tho surface.
Lieutenant Alexander said ho bollovod
Bomo of tho llsh had been blown up
from a depth of ono hundred foot, aud
that tho lack of water pressuro to
Which they woro accustomod nt thnt
nopth proventod their getting bolow
(he surfaco again. Most of thorn wero
easily caught nnd pullod into tho
boats.
Tho fish caught following' tho sec
ond shot wero ono snuppor, two or
threo medium sized fish and a hugo
jowflsh weighing 195' pounds. These
wero hauled Into tho third boat which
dad been sent out from tho cuttor.
At tho third Bhot tho men thought
for nn Instant they had blown up a
whalo. Upon closer examination, how
ever, It proved to bo u second Jew
Osh, considerably larger than tho
first. This monstor, which provod to
be six foot ono inch In length, four
feet three Inches In girth and weigh
Ing 220 pounds, wus ropod nnd towed
by one of tho small boats to tho stria
at tho cutter, whoro a block and
lacklo woro used to hoist it on deck.
Tho hugo llsh was Btlll'allvo nfter It
oad been hoisted over tho sldo of the
:utter, and grappling hooks similar to
ihose used by laborers on tho cotton
docks wero employed to drag It to n
point whoro It could not Hop over
board.
Tho second Jewflsh was thu biggest
mat any of tho olllcors or men on
board the Ynmacraw lind ever seen.
After It had boon killed It was butch
ered, and somo of tho men ato por
tions of It and declared that it was
(airly edible.

FOR THE DAILY MEAL.
Whllo stiawberrli'B are still high
priced they may bo served In small
quantities with gratify
ing results. Heat tho
white of nn egg, add a
half cupful of sugnr and
n cupful of crushed ber
ries, adding thoin a little
at a ttmo until all arc
beaten In. Use this on
ordinary shortcake and
see how good a straw
berry shoVlcako It will
bo. Try it whllo the season lasts.
Stuffed Bermuda Onions. Peel tho
onions, covor with boiling water and
let cook u halt hour. Drain, rinse In
cold water and drain again. Homove
the confers from tho onions, reserving
them to serve another day. Chop fine
F.omo cooked veal, add bread crumbs,
seasoning, salt and popper aud butter.
Kill the onions with this mixture, turn
In hair n cupful of broth nnd bake in
a moderate ovon. At tho last add u
little kitchen bouquet.
Fruit Salad. Lay half a banana on
a crisp lettuco leaf, pour over It a lit
tle lemon juice then slice a few straw
berries on that. Lay long thin strips of
pineapple over this, dust with pow
dered sugar and placo a spoonful of
boiled dressing and whipped cream
equal parts beaton together, on top.
A very pretty dessert Is this: Peel
and slice a banana In halves length
wise, arrange on opposite sides of nn
oblong dish, now add a generous ball
of vanilla Ico cream, sprinkle with
chopped pecans and serve with a little
lemon sirup poured over all.
Cocoanut Buns. Add a halt cupful
of shortening to a pint of Hour, one
half cupful of sugar, two toaspoonfuls
of baking powder, one egg, one-hulf
tcaspoonful of salt, and a half cupful
ot chopped cocoanut. Hub In tho short
ening, add tho other Ingredients and
milk enough to make a dough to roll
out. IlruBh with milk nfter cutting
and sprinkle with cocoanut nnd sugar.
Fioh Pudding. A pound of uncooked
llsh Is, required, half a cupful of stale
bread 'crumbs, tho samo 'of chopped
syet, salt, pepper and lemon Juice to
taste. A cupful of milk nnd two eggs.
Mix well and steam or bake for an
hour.
LITTLE ECONOMIES.
Many of the little savings which
seem too trivial to mention and much
beneath the aver
ago maid's atten
tion would, if car
ried out, mnko a
vast difference in
tho buying of food.
It In .....II n -
gl member that if
you savo a cent
on a purchase of live cents you nro
saving not only u cent but 20 per cent,
which seems to mako tho saving more
worth while. When using a dozen
eggs, as It does happen in some fami
lies often and in others on occasions,
try scraping out tho egg shells with
a spoon. This will give you tho
amount of an egg and Is well worth
saving, especially when eggs are two
cents apiece. Now thnt eggs aro
cheap, they should bo put down for
winter. Packed In water glass,' they
are just as good for any form of bak
ing and will keop a year If carefully
done.
A quart of water glass added to 12
quarts of boiled and cooled water, put
Into large stono crocks after tho eggs
aro placed, will keop them perfectly.
Tho eggs should, of course, bo perfect
ly fresh and great care taken not to
crack them. Cover the Jar and keep
in n cool place.
Ono of the common wastoa In most
homes Is the unsuriipod mixing bowl.
Spatulas may now bo bought on tho
tCn-cent counter and a few turns of
the wrist with a spatula will scrape
out tho dish, often saving the amount
of an individual cako or gem or bis
cuit. If round-bottomed mixing bowls
are used for dough mlxturus. tho scrap
ing process will be mueh shortened,
as the Hpatula, bolng flexible, will take
up overy bit of the dough.
When apples urn used, If the parings
aro saved und boiled with a little wa
ter, thou tho water added to equal
quantities of sugnr and boiled, n glass
of jolly or two which will be fresh
and Inviting will be ready for your
table.
New Electric Bell.
An orlglnul electric bell combination
is In use at Paris which Is designed to
get rid of all trouble caused by tho
question of bnttorios, for these aro
now lodged within tho apparatus itself.
The usual box bell shape is retained,
but tho arrangement of tho parts is
different in this case. All tho magnet
parts are now lodged under tho gong
itself, while the box, being now left
free, serves to contain a sot of three
dry battery cells which will last for
Beveral years, In this way there aro
ONE PORTION DESSERTS.
For the children who cannot have
the heavy rich desserts that tho older
peoplo enjoy, tho
t. following simple
pared
by adding
and fruit
siigar
pulp to tho white of an egg and beat
ing well, is a dessert usually attrac
tive to children. Prepare tho fruit
pulp If an apple by grating or scrap
ing, If a banana by rubbing through a
sieve.
Snow Pudding. Dissolvo two tea
spoonfuls of gelatin in halt a cupful
of hot water, add three tnblespoon
fuls of sugar and ono and a half ta
blespoonfuls of lemon juice; stir un
til the sugar is dissolved. When It Is
cool enough to be well set, add a lit
tle to a time to a well-beaten whito
of egg, beating until the wholo is
stiff. Turn Into a wet mold and serve
with cream.
Bated Caramel Custard. Put two
tablespoonfuls of sugar In a small
saucepan, place over tho heat and stir
constantly until tho sugar Is melted
and a light brown In color; add two
thirds of a cupful of salded milk and
pour the mixture over a slightly beat
en egg; stir In a few drops of any
flavoring, add a dash of salt, strain In
to a custard cup and placo In a pnn
of hot water to bako in a slow oven
until firm.
Orange Trifle. Soften a teaspoonful
of granulated gelalin in a tablespoon
fill of cold water, then stand over hot
water until melted; add a half cup
ful of orange julco aud a quarter of a
cupful of sugar; pour tho mixture on
tha well-beaten white of an egg and
beat thoroughly; cool and beat until
spongy; place In a small mold and
servo with cream and sugar.
Stuff the hollow of an apple which
has been cored with dates, figs or
nuts aud raisins, and bake as usual.
The little peoplo find this a most en
joyable dessert, and It is especially
wholesome. Servo with cream or plain.
A slice ot bread with the crusts re
moved, soaked In nny fruit Juice and
served with cream and sugar Is a
quick and dainty dessert to prepare
for tho little peoplo.
LEFT-OVER MEATS.
Many times tho left-over meats are
na high In food value as at tho first
cooking, often somo of
tho flavor is lost, but
that may be supplied in
in many ways, by sauces,
seasonings of vegetables
and herbs. Ono ot tho
things that any cook
needs to guard against Is
overdoing tho season
ing. Too many or too
much spoils an otherwise
tasty dish.
When there is a portion of meat left,
which will slico In trim good looking
slices, that is one way of serving It
which is generally well liked; but usu
ally tho pieces aro scrappy and un
sightly and the best way is to cut
them In uniform pieces and serve them
In somo kind of a snuce. Tho ment
slwulri be simply reheated in tho
gravy, as high temperature toughens
It.
Small pieces may be used for meat
pie or shephord's pie. For tho meat
pie, put the sliced or diced meat into
a baiting dish and cover with a thin
gravy prepared from meat stock, or a
thin white sauce may bo used, a few
carrots und n bit of grnted onion is
often added and then over the top
spread a layer of biscuit dough rolled
thin. Bake in a hot oven. For the
shepherd's pie a layer of seasoned
mashed potato is jilacod over the top
Instead of the biscuit dough. '
Meat which Is too messy for dicing
or slicing may be put through tho meat
chopper and If mixed with potatoes
woll Bcasoned and cooked makes a
most tasty hash. Do not stir whllo
cooking ub that makes the hash pasty.
Croquettes of various kinds, ot
meats are another attractive method
of serving left-over meats.
Another meat pie which is well liked
Is prepared as follows: Boll out bis
cuit dough quite thin, cut out n lurge
biscuit, place some minced meat und
gravy in the center, pinch the edges
together and bako fifteen minutes In a
hot oven. Servo with gravy poured
over them. If there is but little meat,
peas, chopped cooked carrots or other
vegetables may be added to piece it
out.
no connections to be made between
the battery and bell and tho wires and
push button are tho only pieces which
need to bo attended to.
Practice Versus Preachment.
Zeno was laying down the precepts
of stoicism.
"I'm afraid that I couldn't bear pain
and trouble without complaint," ven
tured a disciple.
"Nobody expects you to," retorcd
the great teacher; "that'? merely our

'J'HXT-Wlth all lowliness and meek
nesH, with long suffering, forbenrlng one
nnother In love; cnilcuvorlng to keep th
unity of tho spirit In tho bond of peace.
lipheslans 4:2, S.
Much Is said today of church unity.
In somo minds, apparently, the great -
need is to Tiring
ull tho professing.
Christians into
ono organization.
Christ's words In
John 17:23 are
quoted frequent
ly: "Thut they
may bo made per
fect in one; and
that tho world
may know that
thou hast sent
me, and hast
loved them, as
thou host loved
me." But it may
bo pointed out.
that during the middlo ages the Ideal
of outward unity was almost realized,
yet tho results which our Lord said
would flow from real oneness wero
far from being attained. We conclude,
therefore, that Christ spoke of a unity
of another kind, and believe it is set
forth in our text as "the unity of tho
Spirit." Furthermore, thlB Is a con
dition which docs not have to bo pro
duced, but which wo ore to "keop."
Already, tho truly regenerate are. one
In Christ, being baptized by tho Spirit
Into tho body of which our Lord is the.'
head. But this oneness is to lie
realized in a community of feeling
nnd purpose. This realization would
certainly do away with some of tho
outward divisions among Christians,
but tho point of insistence is the in
ward unity.
Needful Graces.
Several graces aro mentioned in
tho text which will greatly assist to
wards tho goal of unity.
"Lowliness" comes first. This is a
distinctively Christian grace, for
whllo tho pagans recognized it as right
when necessary, they felt it was not
good in Itself. But our very exalta
tion in Christ Is to begot in us tho
lowly spirit: the apostle has just been
speaking of our high calling when
ho turns to exhort ua to lowliness.
Drummond says that "touchiness is
conceit with a hair trigger." What
a stopplng-stono to unity, then, h low
liness. Next comes "meekness." This Is.
submission both to God and men,
grounded In humility of spirit. Meek
ness does not press its claims, yet is
a most powerful grace. Pounding aa
iceberg with mighty hammers leaves
It undisturbed, but a warm current
surely dissolves it; bo the soft an
swer turns away wrath. What a lu
bricant for tho wheels of church life
Is meekness!
But meekness is to bo not only meek
but "long-suffering." This is long
mlndedness, as opposed to "short
temper." It is akin to the unweary
ing patience of God.
"Forbearing ono another In love. '
This is an active manifestation of long
suffering, allowing for tho frailties and
mistakes of others, even when they
wound us. This can be dono becauso
we wish them well and love them.
ThlB grace enables us to take sides,
even against ourselves, and we shall.
need it, even In dealing with Chris
tians, for not all of thesq are per
fect!
"The Quaker and the Organ. ,
Tho value of this grace In the'
preservation of unity is exhibited la
a quaint incident. Somo years ago it
was proposed to purchaso an. organ
for a FrlendB' meeting house in a cer
tain town in Ohio. This was strongly
opposed by an aged Quaker, for the
use ot musical Instruments was not
so common among tho Friends aa It
1b today. In spito of his opposition,
however, tho organ was installed. The
old man did not stay away from meet
ing, but tho organ was evidently a
great cross to him. Finally, the min
ister called upon him and tho follow
ing conversation took place:
"Friend," snld tho minister, "thee
seems grieved at tho organ in tho.
meeting."
"I cannot tell thee how grieved I
am," waB tho reply.
"Well," continued tho minister, "if
theo feels that way about It, I will
tako tho organ out of tho meeting
house with my own hands."
"No, no," demurred tho old man, "If
theo feels thnt way about it, let it
stay."
And it did stay, whllo the unity of
tho Spirit was kept in tbo bond ot
peace.
Workers Under George Mueller.
Tho proper maintenance of unity Is
well illustrated in tho work of George
Mueller, founder of tho Rjiannge at
Bristol, Ungland. Uepresentatlvcs ot
all tho evangelical churches were
found In his largo force of teachers,
yet a beautiful spirit of unity pre
vailed. Mr. Muellerjtells us thatwheu
ho first saw certainTtrutliB he was
disposed to stand alqpJAtfrom those
who saw them not. i3ptyiiB did not
result in peace and Joy, andho soon
came to a better mind, for hotecalled

to see truth
